RLeO CEIXS. IN HEALTH. IN DISEASE. Man is a millionaire many times over in the possession of blood cells. Woman is sot quite so rich, for f dentists have proven that the normal number of red blood cells hi adult men is five million; in women four a.nd a half million, to the square millimeter. The normal cell is not absolutely round in lvVilh. but, in disease, becomes ex tremely irn ular in shape. Every one can be in pirfict health and possess the mil lions of rich red blood corpuscles if they onlv l.non- how to po about it. Dr. R. V. Pierce, consulting phvsician to the Inva lids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, at Buf falo, K. Y., advises every man and woman loprtTiare for a long life by observing: na ture's" laws. In the first place, if your digestion is faulty, and the food yon t U is n it taken up by the blood and assim ilated properly, you need a tonic and diges tive corrector, something that will increase ;he red blood corpuscles; he believes iu (foinfx about this in nature s own way. Ye.'.is afro, in his active practice, he found tint an alterative extract of certain herbs ami roots, put up without the use of aleo fiol. would put til- liver, lungs ind heart into fuller and more complete action. This nieHne hi" called Dr. Tierce's Golden Medical Discovery. By assimilating- the food tat en, it nourishes the blood, and, in stead of the ill-shaped corpuscles, the per son's bio i takes on a rich red color and the corpuscles are more nearly round. Nervousness is only the cry of the starved nerves for food, and when the nerves are red tn rich red blood the person loses ifcose irritable feelings, sleeps well at night iud feels refreshed in the morning.

Small Sums Realized Upon Great Vessels That Have Cost Fortunes to Build Their Lifetime. What is done with those warships which, becoming obsolete, have to be "disposed of at slarmirg sacrifices," is cne of those questions few ordinary per sons could answer, says London Tit-EIts. 01 course, tne most profitable way would be to sell them to foreign countries, such as the South American republics, and Turkey, Sprin ar.d China might even be occasional customers. But for obvious political reasons such & thing is never dene; indeed, eo stern js the govcrnmentt's determination not to run the risk of our navy's "ineffective" ahipa falling into foreign hands that in every case it is stipulated that they fhii be broken up in British waters. Thus it occurs that obsolete war vessels, which, perhaps, cost the nation. 500, WO, or even 750,000, have, from time to time, to be sold for 15,000 or 20,000, when as war vessels they would probably rtalize twice or thrice aa much If sold to a foreign country which did not mind having a navy somewhat out of date. But sold as in nearly every caae they arefor breaking up, they simply fetch the price of old metal, from which is to be deducted the cost of shipwreckers' labor, this being an important factor, since it stands to reason a man of war cannot be disintegrated with a can opener. .Taken out of commission, the con demned warship lies moored until the admiralty sells her either by auction or private treaty. She is stripped of guns and stores, and generally of certain por tions of her fittings, which are often up to date and serviceable. Then she passes into the hands of her purchasers, gen erally a British firm who have a special plant for dealing with ironclads. She is towed to the most convenient place and Err obstruction begins. She is ripped to- r'.eces, from quarter-deck to keel. Her ipelnee, decks, steering gear.wood ork everything is taken from her until t'.:' iierfc steel shell remains, and the final blows are generally dealt with rynami'e to brea'K up her plates. As oft en &3 t-. or 12 months are occupied in breaking up a battleship. Then what becomes of her? You may be sitting in a chair the wood of which as once part of a battleship; before a &ra'.e made out of a cruiser's plate, for &er plates are sold for reemelting, and they turn up unsuspected in a thousand homes, are made into stoves, railway lines, park railings, fire irons, traction jErin&, etc. If only steel could eptak, here's many a humble-looking fire grate Thlch couki uli of stirring dtds. There is not much wood abont the warships which fall into the ship break fere' hands nowadays, but what there is commands a ready market for a variety -f pui p-.-' , as it is understood to be the 3et, te,r,'-,-r and moet seasoned of its Kind ordinarily obtainable. At the same time large portions of a ship's timber are good only as fuel and as such it is ?oid; but it is aways reckoned to be the anest foe! wood money can buy. Th better stuff is bought for barge build in.?, fioorirjjr, Kc, to be worked up by carpenters and cabinet makers. Ships' ::mbr is cnrsMerM particularly good for employment ia damp places. S3 fT f I t:tr. ;. . e of :.tc- wrecked vessel is d'.r'.ni.-ed of to Ko:no purpose, yet even then, owing to the expensive trouble of brefKi:" her up, her purchasers some-tl.'iie.-' IL.d she hns cr.ly just repaid the cost to wh: '1 ihey have bren put, and that albeit sh'- cost thm only a fiftieth or sixtieth part of what she cost the na tion no rroi-c perhap3 than 20 years be fore. Twenty years is about the time which changes a r.ew war vessel into an obso lete fhi; such as it would be foolish to serd irto action. Dut ocoasior.aily ships become obsolete and meet their inglori ous doom v. ry much sooner. In one case, indeed, a battleship became ob solete whae she lay in the baildir.g stocks, and she was usually broken up without boirg rh.ift.ed from the place where her keel w;.s laid. Another ves sel, the Hood, was broken up without ever "ruling salt wat r," havii.g been buiit iu t;e Med way and only being launched to go farther above for the purpose of beingV.isintegrated. A third war vessel, of a smaller type, became obsolete while waiting for her boilers to be put in, and she never lived to breathe steam. Not every obsolete war vessel meets ; the melancholy fate of being broken ! up, however. On rare occasions con ! tieirtned ships on being taken out of the I efi'ecti -v list are used for the t,tors.g;e j of powder, etc., or as training &niys, though ironchius are not very well adaptt-ei to each uses. Vessels of small ! types are somc-tinits. too, ringed up for j special purpc.-:ed wht revtr a go-, envr.ent ollce would otherwise have to purchase a new ship at a much greater ou.iay. But tat ultlniat? ci: ! of every ship o;' -tier rot sunk at sea Is to be h:iru ree. fe r al most a fiftieth part of her coot, broken up, and scattered freer the land to be converted to a thousand different uses. ' ENGLISH PRONUNCIATION. The Orthographic Chaos in Which the English Laii-ujiKe Is Involved Some Notable Illustrations. . We are weltering in an orthographic chaos in which a multitude of signs are represented by the same sound and a multitude of sounds by the same sign, says Harper's Magazine. Our race as a race has in consequence lost the phonetic sense. What can we hope for the orthoepy of a tongue in which, for ilustration, the short sound of e, found in let, is re-presented by ea in head, by eo in leopard, by ay in says, by ai in said, by ei in heifer, and by a in many? Or of the correspondingly long sound given by us to the same vowel, which is repre sented by e in mete (to measure), by ea in meat (an article of food), or by ee in the verb to meet; and furthermore by I In machine, by le In believe, by el in re ceive, by eo in people, and by ae in aegis? Or take the sound denoted by the digraph sh, seen In ship. It is represented by ce in ocean, by ci in RiirpiHon, by tl In nation, by xi in anxious, by sci in con science, and by s followed by u in sure. There ks no object in heapic up further harrowing details, which, Indeed, could be multiplied indefinitely. They have bn introduced merely to show how hopelesa is the prospect of attaining under sah conditions a uniform stand ard of pronunciation wnlch all will rec ognise at once, and to which all will un qu&stionlngly bow. WHAT A COOL SUMMER DOES. IU Bflcta to tt Batlr BoiinMi Coma DnaMri Fumtn Inln1V-Kps onr Srom Ctrolttn0. A well known business man says that the ordinary observer Hd not stop to consider what a cool summer meant to the entire business community, accord ing to the Philadelphia Record. Said he: "It affects everything that depends upon trade for life. I have no doubt that the present slump in stocks is due in part to the cool summer, which has made the crops so uncertain. Let us start with the farmer. He has had poor luck with his corn, melons and all kinds of truck. The merchants who sell summer elothing and all kinds of seasonable wear hare hardly paid expenses; every seashore re sort has been running light. This means so much money lost from circulation, and all the mechanical trades and in dustries must suffer. Of course, no one Is to blame, and the only thing to do is to lire and let live until a real hot sum mer comes to push things along again." CHARITY FOR CRIPPLES. Cnf ovtanatea Aided by Society Corl OMlr Named "The Guild of the Drave Poor Thins." "The Guild of the Brave Poor Things" Is the curious name adopted by a com pany of English charity workers, whose womanly efforts are being directed to ward the amelioration of the condition of cripples, young and old. The guild has recently acquired a country holiday home at North Com mon, Chailey, Sussex. It is called the Heritage, and was formally opened in June by the ducheRS of Bedford. Th" home is picturesquely situated and will accommodate guild members men, women and children some cf whom will become permanent residents and others will be taken from the various branches of the guild for short vacation periods. As soon as may be it is in tended to start a school of arts and crafts for the crippled and deformed in mates, and the work will be sold for their benefit ANIMALS UNCAUUIIT.

It is a new species of jaguar, quite different from any that haa ever been exhibited in the shows in any part of the world. It's a big black fellow, and tremendously fierce. Nobody has ever taken one alive. "Then in the forest of the Amazon are two birds that would make their captor a famous man among zoolo gists. They are the bell bird, which has a voice exactly like a clear, ring iiiC bell, and the 'Lost Soul,' which has a cry that makes the shivers creep along a man's backbone when he hears it in those dark, mysterious, silent, forbidding woods.
