That blood poison existed among; the ancients has
been proven beyond question. It has been traced back
thousands of years, and is as old as the Pyramids. This
blighting curse has been handed down from nation to

spread to all parts of the world.
Contagious blood poison, as it is called in modern
times, begins with a small sore or ulcer through which
the virus enters the blood. This is followed by inflam
mation and swelling of the glands of the groins, a red eruption breaks out
on the body, sores appear in the mouth and the throat becomes ulcerated, and
as the disease takes a deeper hold and the blood becomes more thoroughly
infected, the hair and eyebrows drop out, the skin is spotted with copper-colored
splotches, the bones and muscles ache, and it seems to the vie'dra of

- Death of the Man Who Revolutionized

in the social and
business world.

study for the career of a civil en
gineer. When 21 years old he had a
machine shop in his native town. He
studied machinery and his opportunity
came when the shoe stitching machine,
invented by L R. Blake, proved to be
an utter failure. He bought the patent
outright and perfected a machine
which has revolutionized the shoemak
ing industry. This machine did away
with the little cobbler shops, with their
pegs and wax ends, and opened up big
factories. In a few years every man.
woman and child in America, wno
wore shoes, paid tribute to him, and
McKay gained millions.
McKay' partner was Robert H.
Mathes, a practical man of inventive
genius. When the war broke out in
1861 they offered to the government,
something unheard of, machine made
shoes for the army. In less than ten
years it is estimated that more than
10,000.000 pairs of boots and shoes In
America had paid royalty to McKay
and his companies. In 1878 he formed
the McKay Sewing Machine Associa
tion, and in a series of lawsuits de
feated all rivals, established his
patents and became the central power
in one of the greatest monopolies.
Gordon McKay married Miss Minnie
Treat, of Cambridge, many years
younger than himself. They lived to
gether only a few years. There were
two sons, who have always been with
their mother. Mrs. KcKay finally se
cured a divorce, and became the wife
of Adolph A, von Bruening, an at
tache of the German embassy at
Washington, and now charge d'affaires
of the German legation to the Sultan
of Morocco. McKay, who had always
been attached to his wife, sent her
jewels and other gifts on her wedding
day, and, it is said, gave her a check
for 1100,000. The Kaiser became
angered at such attention, and the
young man was In the background for
several years. Then, through family
Influence in Germany, he was restored
to favor, after having returned to Mr.
McKay the money given his wife.
Mr. McKay did much good with his
money. He educated a number of
yonng women abroad in music, gave
generously to Harvard college and
founded a training college In Rhode
Island for negroes, which college bears
the name of the McKay institute. He
was a good violinist and left a large
collection of musical instruments. It
is "understood that the greater part of
his estate will go to Harvard Univer
sity, including his large library. His
next to kin are Mrs. Dexter and Miss
Catherine Dexter, of Boston.
Gave Kim Away.
Two young fellows at Liverpool,
partners in the tea trade, were the best
of friends, and their intimacy extended
to personal as well as to business mat
ters. One of them, a simple-minded fel
low, was a bachelor, and was in the
hahlt of reading to his partner ex
tracts from letters of an ardent and
affectionate nature from a lady in the
North of England, who signed herself
Susie."
The married one went to China for
twelve months, and returned just in
time to attend the wedding of his part
ner. "I hardly feel like a stranger," he
said. In his sweetest tones, addressing
the bride. "In fact, I feel as though
ought to be well acquainted with
my partner's wife, since he has often
done me the honor to read to me ex
tracts from his dear Susie's letters."
The faces of the husband and the
wife were studies, as the bride drew
herself up and said, emphatically and
distinctly, "I beg your pardon my
name Is Helen 1"

Bear Sirs:
As a result of a serious blood disorder
my blood became poisoned and I of
fered severely with Rheumatism and
other symptoms not necessary to men

had been cured of my trouble by 8. S. S.,
and upon his recommendation I began
its use. After using it for some time my
blood was thoroughly cleansed of au
poison and made pure and strong again-
I wish also to speak of ita tonic prop,

impurities, it built up my general
health, improved my appetite, gave me
increased strength, and 1 felt better in

fREAT NAMES IN CONGRESS.
. - i
Ken Whose Patronymics Mark Taverns
for Other Men's Notice.
We cannot depend on the Hons of
Representatives of the United States
Congress for a great deal, but we can
always trust it to supply a roll call
that is interesting and diverting read
ing until it becomes an old story, says
the New York Mail and Express. Why
is it that men of picturesque and even
remarkable cognomens tend to drift
into Congress, especially in the South
and West? Is It that the very nature
of their names seems to devolve upon
them the duty to render these names
Illustrious? Perhaps It Is.
The Fifty-eighth Congress Is no ex
ception to the rule. There are men
here whose names ought to have made
them famous even if they had never
gone to Congrss or done anything else.
Not to speak of Prince Cupid Kalanla-
naole of Honolulu, whose name may be
the Hawaiian Smith for all we know,
we have on this new roll of our coun
try's, fame the priceless name of the
Hon. Swanger fiherley of Kentncky,-
that of Hon. Phanor Brazeale of vLouis
iana and that of Hon. Justin D. Bow
ersock of Kansas. The Hon. Jefferson
Brick Is now absent from the councils
of the nation, but the family is ably
represented by the Hon. Abraham
Brick of Indiana.
There are others. Let ns pick out a
few patronymic gems at random:
Thetus W. Sims, Tennessee.
Parish Carter Tate, Georgia,
OUle James, Kentucky.
tHalvor Steenerson, Minnesota.
Champ Clark, Missouri.
Jack Beall, Texas.
Carter GIris, Virginia. .
Arsene P. Pujo, Louisiana.
The names of Pou, Snook, Moon,
Dick, Crumpacker, Mudd, Skiles, Sbull,
Snapp, Gooch, Licernash, Kluttz, Sho
ber and Spight continue to decorate
the roll. They surely were not born to
die. But why, may we ask, is the
name of "Bird" so popular among poli
ticians? The present House has on its
list Adam Byrd of Mississippi and H.
Burd Cassell of Pennsylvania, and
have we- not our own Bird S. Coler
and Asa Bird Gardiner always with
us?
Many a congressional surname of de
cided commonplaceness is relieved
from "that fate by the given name.
That of the Hon. Choice B. Randell of
Texas Is an instance, the Hon. Vespa
sian Warner another and the Hon.
Ariosto Wiley another. But for the
most part the Congressmen were con
demned by their parents to bear the
plain names of John, James, William,
Joseph and so on. These parents fail
ed to realize that if a man couldn't
get his name Into the megaphone of
fame In any other way It might be
done for him with a quaint curious
and mouth-filling baptismal designa
tion. Flaxseed and Mustard.
What a jolly thing a cold is when yon
get it good and hard!
How it cheers the drooping spirits of the
energetic bard!
Hear the cheerful" way he sneezes!
How he pleases with his wheezes!
And his treasured nose he squeezes
. While he rubs his chest with lard.
While the trustiest of nurses by hia
verses never flustered
Makes a poultice, like a custard.
Of the flaxseed and the mustard.
What a jolly thing a cold is with the
poultice in its place!
When your heart is filled with gladness
and the sweat runs down your
face! '
Does the patient do some cussing
At the fussing and the mussing?
' Nay ! He's learnedly discussing
' The improvement of the race.
Never yelled and never blustered
When he felt that stinging custard
Made of flaxseed and of mustard!
What a jolly thing a cold is! Oh, the
liar that I am!
Am I gently philosophical and gentle as
a lamb?
No, I'm not! I'm fiercely cranky v
At this measly hanky-panky.
Will I take that stuff? No, thankee!
'Tis a snare! delusion! sham!
Hang the doctors and the nurses!
Let the druggists hear my curses I
On their shelves permit to spoil
Senna, salts, and" castor oil!
Please to let me, carin' noffln',
Go a-coughin' to my coffin!
With my body wrapped in worsted
And a poultice, like a custard,
Made of flaxseed and of mustard!

And guards, with frown and hatchet,
The old tobacco store.
He never beat a grocery bill.
He never told a lie.
He never took a longing look
At bourbon, fizz, or rye.
Behold the wooden Indian
A mass of oak and paint;
He never made a crooked move,
In faith, he is a saint.
He never bought a stack Of chips
And sat into a game;
He never rushed a chorus girl.
Or flirted with a dame.
Behold the wooden Indian,
Who, on the other hand.
Was never known to help the poos
That fill our glorious land;
Who never heard the -piteous cry
Of hint who starved alone
Who never gave a hungry dog
So much as one small bone.
Behold the wooden Indian
(And clay is much like wood),
Who never did a bit of harm,
Nor yet a bit of good.
His family is not extinct
In fact, one often meets
A lot of wooden Indians

ODDEST TRIBE IN THE WORLD.
Painful Vaenton of Tattooing ia Tosh
Anton a tne 'Woman.
The Ainu live, in the moat primitive
manner possible. They have adopted
the drees of the Japanese, bat the
houses are very unlike any seen in
Japan. They are made of rice straw,
roofed with a thatching of reeds. How
the natives ever survive the winter is
difficult to understand. In the center
of the room is the fireplace, from
which the smoke floats oat into the.
room, at times becoming almost suffo
cating. An opening in the roof is
supposed to serve as an outlet, bat the
smoke does not always find it Over
the fire hangs a huge iron kettle and
into it are thrust all sorts of fish, ani
mal and vegetable food, to be dished up
later In a sort of composite chowder.
Around two sides of the room is a
slightly raised platform, upon which
the whole family range themselves for
the night, without bedding of any sort
In summer and only a scanty supply
In winter.
As a race the Ainu are sturdy in ap
pearance, but are peaceable and not
given to war, like the Japanese. The
marked feature of the men is a hairy
growth upon the entire body, like that
upon a wild animal. A creepy sensa
tion takes posessslon of one in look
ing upon these walking, talking crea
tures, so intelligent and yet presenting
somewhat the outward appearance of
gigantic monkeys.
The women have the same large,
heavy features as the men. They are
generally disfigured by an ancient cus
tom of tattooing a-large portion of the
face around the mouth, the upper part
of which takes the form of mustache.
It signifies nothing whatever except
a badge of distinction for the race.
The process of tattooing is long and
painful. When a girl Is about twelve
years old the mother begins operations
on the lower lip and by degrees covers
the space of two inches on each Bide
of the mouth. As the child grows this
increases in size until It extends halt
way across the face toward the ears.
The preparation used in tattooing is
made by the women from ash bark.
This is soaked for some days and when
ready for use soot, produced by burn
ing birch-bark, is added to the liquid
and the concoction is applied to the
surface of the skin. The lips ' are
scratched with a sharp instrument,
more of the fluid applied and from
time to time, as the irritation ceases,
the work is continued. In olden times
other marks were added as the girls
became wives or mothers, but these are
now seen only on the very old. The

Aa Abaadoacd Aiae,
For five days recently Tom Morrow,
a miner of Joplln, Mo was lost in
some disused chambers of an abandon
ed mine. He was crazy when he found
his way out and his black hair had;
turned gray. , Morrow is a miner with
eccentricities,' and a month ago he told
his wife he believed he could go under
the city of Joplln by following the
drifts of abandoned . shafts. She
thought it a wild dream of his and
paid no attention, but when he disap
peared with the family lantern she
knew that he was carrying out the
Idea suggested some time before. When
he had been absent a day or two she
became alarmed and his friends were
informed of his disappearance. ' They .,
were not anxious to enter the under-;
ground path themselves and took no :
steps to find him, but waited for his T
return. ; - ;- - .,
-, Though a maniac when found. Mor
row's reason is returning, and be has
some recollection of what occurred.; It
seems that during the early part of his
Journey he suddenly came upon a body
of men working. They did not see him .
and he beat a retreat. At another time '
he came to a shaft that descended
from the drift in which he was walk- j
Ing. Although he was already many
feet beneath the surface of the earth
he descended still further into the
ground.
It was after going down into these
deep drifts that he completely lost
his bearings. In vain he searched for
the shaft through which he had en-
tered the deep passageways. He failed
to find an outlet to any of the drifts.
ii 4-v . . . . .,
All of them ended abruptly in walls of
dir .n rr , :
dirt and stone. How he ever escaped
from this underground tomb he does
not remember. It was while in these
passageways that his lantern failed
him. For four days he told the time
by striking matches and holding them
near the face of his watch. Then the
matches gave out and he lost all reck
oning of time.
It baffles his wife and friends to
know how he effected his escape from
the underground prison. They think
that perhaps after he had become de
ranged an instinct came to him which
directed him in the right course.
Morrow thinks that he covered a dis
tance of many miles. He came out of
a cave a mile from the opening through
which he entered. .

"My younger uncle, also Uncle , Elias,
who was present, got a trifle testy af

not get a chance to talk quite as much

" 'Gracious goodness, that makes six

HE FELT LIKE A SWINDLER.
Man Who Fooled the Doctora
Re
. proached by Hla Conscience.
Here and there, along life's busy and
diversified pathways, curious reasons
for curious moods in man are some
times encountered, says the Detroit
Free Press.
"Ever since I've begun to get weH,"
said a pale-looking gentleman who was
strolling along a sunny sidewalk with
a comrade, - "I've had the blues, now
and then. Naturally, I'm very glad I'm
alive; but 'there are circumstances
which rather make me feel myself a
humbug an out-and-out humbug. It's
this way, you see. All the doctors said
I could not get well I positively could
not get welL Of course, that aroused
the neighborhood; everybody began to
shower me with attentions and kind
nesses. All kinds of invalid food de
lightfully prepared poured in upon

fooled all these people and it makes
me sad. , They can't have any confi
dence in -me hereafter. No, you can't
console me I'm a fraud and I feel like
a fraud."
