u
Mr. Henry Roth, of 1848 South 9th
Street, St. Louis, was given the usual
mercurial treatment for contagious
blood poison. He was twice pronounc
ed cured, but the disease returned each
time,-he was seized with rheumatic
pains, and red lumps and sores cov
ered his body.
"I was in a hor
rible fix" he
says, "and the
more treat
ment I receiv
ed, the worse I
seemed to get.
A New York
specialist said
he could cure
me, but his
treatment did
me no cood
whatever. 1 was stiff and full of
pains, my left arm was useless so
that I was unable to do even the
lightest work. This was my condition
when I began to take S. S. S., and a
few bottles convinced me that I was
being benefitted. I continued the
medicine, and one dozen bottles cured
me sound and well. My system was
unaer tne ejects of mercury, and I
would soon have been a complete

BACK TO BARBARISM.
The Soudan Has Relapsed Into an
Uncivilized Country.
Death or Lifelong Captivity Await the
Traveler Who Ventures Across This
Land Fanaticism and Avarice
of the Natives.
A very curious instance of the return
of a quite civilized country to a state
of barbarism is afforded by the Soudan,
in Central Africa, a vivid description of
which has been given before the geo
graphical congress in London by Slatin
Pasha. This officer had been in'the
service of Egypt, and, meeting Gen.
Gordon in 1876, was shortly afterward
offered a position in the Soudan, that
of governor general of the province of
Dan Fur. The fact of the Mahdi upris
ing was an item of news at the time,
and the fate of Gen. Gordon had been
for a long time an interesting matter
for discussion. It was finally decided
that he was dead, but Slatin Pasha, es
caped from captivity, brings to Europe
the first authentic information about
him. The story which this officer and
explorer presented was one of the most
dramatic features of what proved to be
a most remarkable congress, and hm
audience included the best known of the
world's explorers, not of Africa alone,
but of the entire globe.
"No European can venture to cros
the limits of this land, cut off from civ
ilization," said Slatin Pasha, "extend
ing in the south along the Nile to Beg'
jaf and east to west from Eassala to
near Wadai. ' Death or lifelong cap
tivity would be his lot. Yet it is only
within a short period of ten years thut
the land has been subjected to this mis
erable fate. For more than sixty years.
since the time of Mohammed Ali, it re
mained under the rule of Egypt and
was open to civilization. In the chief
towns were found Egyptian and Eu
ropean merchants; in Khartoum itself
the foreign powerg had their repre
sentatives." Travelers of all nations could pass
through the land unharmed and found
protection and help through these rep
resentatives. Telegraphs and regular
postal service facilitated intellectual
intercourse with the most distant coun
tries. Mohammedan mosques, Chris
tian churches and mission schools
looked after the religious and moral
training of the young.
The land was peopled by diverse
tribes, many of which lived In hostility
with each other, but all were compelled
by the severity of the rule to keep the
pe-"!. Like the oriental countries, the
officials sought to cnich themselves as
quickly as possible, and discontent was
fostered thereby, while so far as the
Europeans were concerned, they no
doubt ignored at times the legends and
traditions of the Soudanese, and in
this way excited some measure of ill
will.
"Mohammed Akmed knew and took
advantage of the mood of the country,"
continued Slatin Pasha. "Well know
ing that only a religious factor could
unite the hostile tribes, lie maintained
tbat lie wiis the Mahdi sent by God,
the deliverer of the country from a
foreign yoke, the regenerator of reli
gion. He roused the tribes to war
against the government, promised his
adherents, In case of victory, four
fifths of the booty to the survivors.
Thus were fanstkism and aTsrlee, the
two chief qualities of the Soudanese,

eleven years la the heart of the Soadan,

GAYETY OF ENGLISHMEN.
They Are a People Thut Know liow to
Enjoy Real Sport. ,
All the English writers have said
that Englishmen tako their pleasures
sadly (in contrast with the Italians),
and all English history, moral as well
as civic, shows a strain of vulgar bru
tality m what they are pleased to call
the enjoyment of life. What I wish to
say is that England is changing in
both these respects. There is a visible
increase of gayety, and there is less
brutality in sports and social pleasures.
We have boasted in America a superior
sensitiveness and a shrinking from
brutality of manners, but some of the
later developments in our most civi
lized class have silenced this boast.
For instance, our elaboration of the
Rugby game of football has carried us
to a brutal excess wholly unknown in
England, and we have to ask how it is
that our lads, nurtured in preparatory
institutions that are free from the tra
ditionary brutalities of the English
public schools, developel on Ithe green
field so much of the spirit and man
ners 6f the. prize-ring. The love o,
sport is more universal with the Eng
lish than with us; everybody wants
to share in it, and the Euglish public
would not be satisfied as we are with
exhibitions of baseball furnished by
professional players. The lovo of real
sport is killed by the commercial
spirit. Tallc in all classes of society
about sports, the space given to thoni
in the newspapers, testify to the livuly
interest in uii out-of-door games, uot
only in the great national races an i
regattas, ' but in the more privately
played games of golf and cricket.
Everybody, from the cabinet minister
to the humblest clerk, from the rich
merchant to the poorest workman,
plays some sort of outdoor game, or
indulges, in some weeks of the year,
in a sporting holiday. I have a fancy,
founded on some observations, that
the English public generally kuow
how to enjoy a holiday better than we
do. The listless and melancholy as
pect of a Labor day celebration with
us is calculated to make one in love
with steady work merely for enjoy
ment It may be said that the power
of enjoyment of leisure has been ex
tirpated by disease, and that this very
incapacity snows tne neeu of more
holidays for our people. In time we
shall doubtless learn what to do with
them. It is certain that the English
of late years, notwithstanding the.
drawback: of their climate, have In
creased their capacity for enjoying
noikiays, and with less boisterousness.

ANARCHY IN TURKEY.
The Terrible State of Affairs
the Sultan's Realm.
In
Innocent and Defenseless Armenians Are
Being Slaughtered Like Hbeep
A Massacre of Chris
tians. At no time in the history of Tnrkey
has the situation been so serious as it
is now. Armenians and Moslems seem
to be about equally desperate, and both
to have lost all hope of any succor from
the powers of Europe on the one hand
or their own government on the other.
The sultan is shut up in his palace,
afraid of his life, for he is cursed by
Turks as much as by the Arabs or Chris
tians. The grand vizier, Eiamil Pasha,
from whose ability and honesty much
was expected, found the burden of a
government which could neither com
mand nor purchase the obedience of its
officials or the loyalty of its troops too
heavy for his advancing years. He re
signed, and has been succeeded by a
ministry of very respectable character
and ability, but utterly inadequate to
the crisis. The heads of the Christian
communit ies are in their turn practical
ly prisoners within their palaces.
Throughout the country there is al
ready anarchy. The sturdy moun
taineers of the Taurus, who only within
a quarter of a century have acknowl
edged even a nominal allegiance to the
sultan, are in arms, and the city of
Marash is in terror over the strife be
tween these men of Zeitoon and the
equally indomitable Turks. The mas
sacre nt Trebizond wos only lesa an
outrage than that at Sassoon, in that
men only were killed, that the chief
hindrunce to the looting of the shops
might be removed. At Ak-IIissar the
local governor himself ordered the kll-
ing of 50 Armenian men, telling the
Turks to spare the women and children
for future distribution. There Is a per
fect reign of terror in the mountains
from Trebizond to F.rzeroum and Diar
bekir, and letters from the American
missionaries at Ilitlis, Marsovan, Ilar-
poot and elsewhere tell of personal
peril, only to be avoided by incurring
greater peril in any effort to escape.
In Constantinople itself there has
been little or nothing done to quiet

solutely innocent even of the posses

was released, after two days' confine

death in prison of a prominent Turkish
lawyer and editor for presuming to

BOMBSHELL, AN ARTILLERY DOG
B Saved Two Little Children from Se
rious Danger.
While a gun was being loaded, Bomb
shell would sit on the parapet and
watch the operation. That finished, he
would jump up and look out to sea over
the range, and then scamper down
from the parapet and follow us into the
bomb-proof.
As usual, Bombshell was on hand to
see the test of the new big gun.
He superintended the loading, and,
while I was aiming the gun, he looked
over the range as carefully as did the
lookout; and from his air of responsi
bility one might have supposed that to
him had been intrusted the duty of
Beeing that the range woa clear.
But when we started for the bomb
proof, instead of following us, as was
his custom, Bombshell remained on the
parapet, looking out to sea and sniffing
the air. In a moment he dashed otf
through the bushes which covered the
narrow beach between the parapet and
the sea.
Though thinklnghisactionspeculiar,
I was sure that he would not remain in
front of the gun, because he had done
so onca, when quite young and inex
perienced, aud the burning grains of
powder which are always thrown out
by the bluet of a gun hud buried
themselves in his akin, burning him
badly. He had never forgotten this.
Certain that he would take care of
himself, I paid no further attention to
him, but went with the others into the
bomb-proof, and took my place by the
electric key, ready to fire at the com
mand of the captain.
Just aa tne command T ire" was
about to be given. Bombshell reap
peared on the parapet and 'began to
bark furiously into the very muzzle of
the gun.
I called to him, but he would not
come. Annoyed at the delay of the test.
I tried to catch him, but could not do
ao. Aa I approached he retreated, still
barking and apparently urging me to
follow hit.
Finally, convinced from the dog's ac
tions that aomethlng was wrong, the
electric wire waa disconnected from
the gun, and I followed Bombshell
Wagging his tail with joy at having
accomplished lila object, he led uio

THE PUBLIC MONEY.
Financial Operations of the United
States Government.
Many Millions of Dollars Annually Manip
ulated by the Treasury OrHolala
. National and Depository
, Hanks.
By the public money of the United
States we menu that which is not in
circulation, and is therefore not a part
of individual possessions, but is held
by the government itself for the pur
poses of the nation. This fund is a
fluctuating quantity. It amounted,
nominally, tit the Inst report of the sec
retary of the treasury, to about $fi00,
000,000; but only a comparatively small
proportion of it was really disposable
money, in tho strict sense of the term,
for auy public purpose.
The government carries on all its op- -
erations, involving the actual use of
money, through three channels first,
the treasury of the United States at
Washington, which is under the charge
of the custodian culled the treasurer,
not the secretary of the treasury; sec
ond, through nine kubtrensiiry otllces,
in us many leading cities of the; coun
try, which ore branches of the treasury
at Washington, and are in charge of offi
cers called subtreasurers; anil third,
through a largo number of national
bunks called depositary banks, which
hold government money subject to tho
draft of the treusurer.
The greater part of the vast amounts
of money held by the treasurer and sub
treasurers at any given moment Is gold
or silver, kept there for the purpose of
redeeming or securing the paier notes
Issued by the government. Hut there
lire at all times large minis of money in
coin or in legal-tender paper, which may
be said to be merely passing through the
government's hands. Ihere are many
millions coming In as receipts from cus
toms and taxes, anil muiiy millions more
Wing paid out for expense;- lor the--yearly
expenses of the government of
the United States approach very nearly
luil f a billion dollars, und at present ex
ceed the receipts.
To facilitate these passing transac
tions, the government lias for many
years kept a constantly-varying amount
of rctnly money in Ihe hand of the de
positary liiiti il banks. For the last
ten years the amount of public money
held by these ImiiiUm bus averaged alaiut
t',,n,ooo, nod; t hough at one date it rone
to alioitt $'i.Vim,imio, and at another fell
to 10,11(10,(111:1.
Willi retqiect to I his money, the gov
ernment Is in a in tic It U'tter position,
us to security, than other deMiaitora lit
the bank. For although it receives no
Interest on It money, it holds a certain
amount of its own limits, owned by the
bunk, as security for the deMsils. A
recent genernl return of the nnlionnl
bunks showed that there were more
