PYRAMIDS OF PAIN
Boils show the blood is in a riotous, feverish
condition, or that it has grown too weak and slug
gish to throw off the bodily impurities, which
then concentrate at some spot, and a carbuncle'
or boil is the result. To one already enfeebled
by disease, boils seem to come with more frequencv.
causing the intensest pain and greatest danger to the already weak and
debilitated sufferer. All skin eruptions, from the sometimes fatal car
buncle to the spiteful little cat-boil, are caused by bad blood, and the
only way to avoid or. get permanently rid of them is to purify and
build up the deteriorated, polluted blood, and counteract the humors
and poisons ; and nothing will do this so quickly and thoroughly as
S. S. S., which is the acknowledged king of blood purifiers and great
est of all tonics. Where the blood has become impoverished and is
poor and thin, no medicine acts so promptly in building up and restor
ing its richness, purity and
strength. The time to cure Allegheny, Pa., June 11, 1903.

The Romans were great sticklers for
formal dinners. Their appetite-producers
consisted, mainly of egg salad,
spiced fruits, oysters, asparagus, and
snails in vinegar. Then, having stirred
up the juices of the stomach to the
point of keen expectation, they pro
ceeded to realization by way of fish
principally mullet, which was regard
ed as the "top-notcher" of fishes, serv
ed with a paste prepared of the flesh
of the sea hedgehog reduced to pulp,
with oil, pepper, onions, dates and mus
tard; while, when the emperor was
served with the priceless liver, the dish
was but faintly seasoned with salt,
pepper and oil, and served with chick
en livers garnee. After fish and game,
pork was the most esteemed meat
dish, and it was served in the form of
a roast stuffed with sausages. The
dessert was formed of fruits in season,
the luscious grape being a close com
petitor with the apple.

How Crane Mimicked Kobson.
When Robson and Crane acted the
"Comedy of Errors" together, Mr.
Crane's "Dromio" was the most nota
ble feature of the performance, for
while Robson simply represented him
self in the garb of the Syracuse ser
vant, Crane gave an excellent exhibi
tion of his mimetic powers by duplicat
ing 'the "Dromio" of his associate. He
thus describes the opening night:
"It was one of the most intensely
exciting nights I ever experienced be
hind the scenes. In making up, Rob
son dropped a huge daub of grease
paint on the front of his tunic. Out of
pure consideration for art, I painted a
similarly dirty device on my garment.
But Robson nearly destroyed the fine
fabric of consistency, to the construc
tion of which I had sacrificed the
cleanliness of my attitre, by walking
on absent-mindedly in the second act
with a smoking cigar protruding from
his mouth. Just previous to his en
trance In the first act he declaimed his
speech in the wings, and from this I
took the key, which I had to hold con
stantly in mind. My lines were only
partly committed, so that between
thinking of Robson's peculiar . voice
and mannerisms which I was expect
ed to imitate faithmlly and of my
own speeches which should have been
delivered with equal fidelity to Shak

HOW LANDSEER WORKED.
The man who can accomplish work
at a dash is probably the one who
has spent patient years in preparation
for it. An enthusiastic English sports
man, Mr. Wells, of Redleaf, Penshurst,
had engaged Landseer to paint the
portrait of his favorite dog. But the
artist was one of those who put off
their duties as long as possible, and
one day Wells, who had been growing
more and more Impatient, showed bis
feeling by some sharp expression.
"I s know I have behaved shameful
ly," said Landseer, "but I will come
down next Thursday and stay till Mon
day, and the picture shall be done be
fore I leave." .
On Thursday he arrived,-just in time
to dress for dinner, and his first re
mark was: "Oh, your man tells me
that you are going to drag the great
pond to-morrow. Hurrah! I am just
in time. That is a subject I have
often meant to paint, and I shall get
any number of sketches done."
This was an unpleasing announce
ment; but the host bore it. Landseer
did a capital day's work for himself,
and the next morning, when he came
down to breakfast, he said:
"Mr. Wells, I hear you are going to
shoot to-day. I've been looking for
ward to that for a year or two." So it
went on until Sunday morning, and
then Wells, who was very particular
about seeing his guests at the early
service, said to Landseer:
"I suppose you are going to church?"
"I don't feel like going," said Land
seer. "I think you must excuse me."
"Oh," said Wells, in a blaze, "do Just
as you think best I You know well
enough that this is liberty hall for
you, at all events."
"Thank you," said Landseer. "And
I am going to ask you to let me keep
Charles Mathews with me, to amuse
me."
Wells vouchsafed no answer, and
away the people went, leaving these
two to their own devices. The min
ute the house was clear they hurried
to another room, which Landseer had
specially arranged for the purpose.
The head gamekeeper was there, .hold
ing the dog, and Mathews assisted,
when there was need, at the same time
amusing Landseer. When the party
returned from church the picture was
painted, finished and framed on the
wall. Written on the trunk of a tree
in the background were the words:
"Painted at Redleaf in two hours
and a half."
RESERVES IN JAPAN.
The Calling; Out of These Troops En
tails Suffering on Families.
Writing from personal knowledge Of
the conditions in Japan during the
war, John L. Dearing says in the
World To-Day:
As soon as the troops from the dif
ferent barracks had been sent for
ward there came the call for the re
serves to gather and begin to train.
The reserves, it will be understood,
are those who have at some previous
time spent several years in military
training and are now called from
their private occupations at their
country's need. These men drop their
work or occupation and at a moment's
notice go to the barracks. In the fam
ilies of these is the first suffering felt
In many cases the chief support of a
family Is taken away and no one is
left to support the wife and children
and supply the money for food and.
clothing. In these places where the
sole support of the family Is suddenly
removed without warning there is a
condition of need Immediately felt.
The soldier receives no pay while in
service, and he has, therefore, nothing
to send home to his needy family. He
leaves them for his country's sake and
he hopes that in some way they will
be cared for.
The first work of relief is the car
ing for these families. . The govern
ment is greatly assisted in this work
by foreigners as well as by generous
native subscriptions. Various organ
izations have been set on foot for rais
ing money to supply this need. The
fiftieth anniversary of the signing of
the treaty by Admiral Perry and the
Japanese was commemorated by an
enthusiastic meeting, In Tokyo, in
which the American minister, Mr.
Grlscom, and Count Okuma and the
Hon. Shimada Saburo were among the
speakers, and about $25,000 gold was
subscribed toward this fund. Ameri
can sympathy with Japan was thus ex pressed
in a very practical way and
the good feeling previously existing
was more closely cemented. Among
the early enthusiastic subscribers to
the fund were Richard Harding Davis,
Mr. Eagan In behalf of Collier's Week
ly and other newspaper representatives
who have been rusticating in Tokyo
instead of getting .to the, front, where
they desired to be.
NOTHING NEW IN THE ARCH.
Most of the Present-Day Knowledge
Was Derived from the Ancients.
The old adage, "There's nothing new
under the sun," applies with as much
aptness to architecture as it does to
many, other things. It is well known
that although the building of great
arches of masonry dates beyond the
ancient Roman civilization the princi
ple that gives strength to the massive
stone bridges of to-day is the same
that built the bridges of the Roman
empire.
The history of bridge building is to
a large degree the history of the arch,
whose efficiency lies in the truth of the
old Hindoo saying that "the arch nev
er sleeps," becatlse each separate sec
tion of which it consists, beginning at
the keystone or central section, is con
stantly pushing against its immediate
neighbors until the pressure finally
reaches the firm' foundation upon
which the structure is erected.
To secure a perfectly trustworthy
foundation, therefore, the bridge build
er has often to penetrate far below the
surface of the earth, and not infre
quently the part of his structure thus
covered up and concealed is greater
than that visible above ground.
It was their inability to solve the
problem of a trustworthy foundation
that led the ancient Hindoos to dis
trust the arch, arguing that the sleep
less activity that held it together was
equally active in tearing it to pieces.
, Not only is the modern bridge build
er skilled in setting his structure on- a
firm base, but thoroughly acquainted
with the time-honored materials for
his work, to say nothing of new mate
rials, and an important part of his
student - training in such modern
schools as the Massachusetts Institute
of Technology Is devoted to methods
of testing materials during construc
tion that would have surprised and
delighted even the most accomplished
of the ancient Roman engineers. ,
Latest of Fishing Yarns.
Seeing some of your fish and "bear
stories in Maine Woods, I must con
fess some of them' do smell a little
fishy, and for a change I will give
you one founded on facts. You see,
it was this way: We were fishing on
one of the Keswick lakes in the spring
of 1893, and our catch had been enor
mous. About 3 o'clock in the after
noon we heard a peculiar noise on the
bank of the lake like tearing of roots.
So we went to investigate, and on
nearing the shore were surprised to
find a large black bear, digging up the
ground to beat nine of a kind.
We lay low to watch, and what do
you think he was doing? Why, he
was digging worms, and after putting
nice fat angle worms on each of his
forepaws he ventured out in the lake
on an old sunken log, put down his
forefeet in the water and actually
scooped out huge trout so thick and
fast that he almost darkened the sun.
After a while, thinking there was
enough fish for us, we put an ounce
ball in his head. Talk about fish!
Great heavens! There lay trout two
feet deep on which two young cubs
were gorging themselves. Well, we
skinned that bear and, wishing to se
cure the cubs alive, I just threw the
bearskin over me and got down on
all fours, and those cubs followed me
right into camp, thinking it was moth
er bear.'
The cubs I afterward sold for $25
each, and the hide of the mother bear,
which was a very large one, brought
me V1", DOt too bad a day's - work.
Oh, yes, about those fish on the bank.
Well, we went back next day and bar
reled up twenty-four barrels of the
best of those trout. The rest were
left to rot in the sun. We put those
fish in cold storage and we have some
of them yet Next Maine Woods.
