Two Little Known Indian Tribes.
The handsomest Indians in the world
are the Ona Inhabitants of Terra del
Fuego. They are very tall and hav
strikingly beautiful features. They
wear no clothing except loose skins of
animals, which they wrap about their
bodies. They never stay more than
night or two In the same place. The
reason for this is that an evil spirit i
thought to be pursuing them, and they
move on to avoid being overtaken
When they stop in their wanderings
they dig a hole in the ground thre
feet deep. They weave branches ove
this, and at night nil crawl into thi
and cuddle together with their dog:
for warmth.
Another tribe is called the Yagliiins,
These Indians get their living from th
sea instead of t lie land. In appear
a nee they greatly resemble the Onus,
with the exception that they are much
smaller.
They eat niollusks, fish, birds and
fling!. Hirds are cooked in an unusual
manner by the Yaghans, who put red
hot stones Inside them and then plunge
them thus heated into the coals.
They also have an original way of
roasting eggs. They break a hole In the
end of the egg, which Is then stood up
right In the ashes before the Are. Thi
is turned round and round, that it may
!? cooked evenly.
The Yaghans are good hunters, the
women being excellent Ushers. They are
more fearless than the men, whom they
excel In the management of boats and
In swimming their rivers.

Some of you may be surprised when
told that the name "Dives" Is not men
tioned In the Hible, and yet you have
heard the story of "Dives and Lazarus"
time and again, perhaps. Even the
preachers give the name Dives" to the
"certain rich man" of the story. The
truth (iTtout It Is that In the Vulgate,
or Latin Hible, the word "dives" is
used where the nume of the man might
have been given ; but "dives" is a Latin
adjective, meaning "rich," and not a
proper noun at all. It is not strange,
as the ioor man is caled Lazarus, that
the rich man should be designated by a
personal name, but there Is no warrant

POWER OF FALLING WATER.
Stream as Thick as Man'a Hand Will
Open Human Skull.
It Is perfectly well known to every
one that water constantly dropping
tilKjn a stone will wear it away, and
there Is a trite old proverb regarding
this fact. The force of a single drop
of water falling from a height Is not
great, but the results of this tiny blow-
when it is many times repeated are
astounding, even though we do know-
that the stone will, in time, yield to
their power.
There was a form of torture known
to medieval days as the "ordeal of
dropping water," but the term conveys
little Idea of the horrible suffering
which this punishment Is said to in
flict.
There is a story of one poor wretch
who was bound with ills back to a
stone wall and had a stream of water
'of the bigness of a man's finger" di
rected onto his bare head, the water
falling from a height of about eighteen
feet. The receptacle from which this
ipparently harmless stream trickled
was a barrel holding only twenty-odd
gallons, but before the water had more
than half run out the man was dead,
with a hole In his skull which exposed
the brain.
By way of experiment, an American,
who Is mentioned as "a sport and an
acrobat," made a wager in Vienna with
an athlete that the latter could not en
dure the falling of a pint of water on
his hand, drop by drop. In one siot,
from a height of only three feet.
The athlete had an enormous hand.
lined with skin almost as thick and
tough as cowhide, and all the spectators
ironouneed the bet a foolish one as far
as the American was concerned.
But when about 3W drops had fallen
here was a change of sentiment The
athlete did not say a word, but it was
ery apparent from the flush on his
ace and his uneasy manner mat ne
was suffering great pain. At the J-'dth
rop he gave up, declaring that he could
io longer endure the torture.
The palm of his hand was then bad
swollen and rapidly inflaming, and
u one spot the skin had broken, exposi
ng the raw flesh beneath.
There is nothing more distressing than an itching, burn
ing skin disease, and upon the return of warm weather those
who are afflicted with skin troubles find the symptoms r.ppear
ine and know that thev will be tormented through the hot
summer mouths. The blood is heated with humors and acrid matter, and as they are forced
to the surface the skin seems to be on fire. The treatment of skin diseases with exter
nal applications is all wrong, because they do not reach the trouble which is in the blood.
The most such treatment can be expected to do is, allay the itching and burning and cover
up the trouble for awhile, but as soon as it is left off the disease returns.
All food taken into the body contains, in some form, the elements necessary to sustain
the different parts. One portion is used tor
the making of blood, another for muscle, the itching was almost unbearable.

Liver, Kidneys and Bowels. At this season Escondido, cai l. marno.
Df the year, however, these organs become
torpid, dull and sluggish, and fail to perform this duty, and these accumulations remain in
the system and are absorbed by the blood to ferment and sour, producing burning acids and
acrid humors. The blood cannot properly nourish the system while in this impure condition,
and begins to throw off these acids through the pores and glands of the skin, producing Acne,
Eczema, Tetter, Psoriasis, Salt Rheum and skin diseases of every description.
ECZEMA appears usually with a slight redness of the skin, followed by pustules from
which there flows a sticky fluid that dries and forms a crust, and the itching is intense. It
is generally on the back, breast, arms, legs and face, though other parts of the body may be
afflicted. In TETTER the skin dries, cracks and bleeds, and is often very painful. The acid
in the blood dries up the natural oils of the skin, causing a dry, feverish, hardened condition
and giving it a leathery appearance. AOME makes its appearance on the face in the form of
pimples and black-heads, and is particularly disagreeable because of its unsightly appear
ance, while PSORIASIS, a scaly disease, comes in patches on different parts of the body.
One of the worst forms of skin disease is SALT RHEUM. It discharges a watery fluid, form
ing sores and producing intense itching. The head and face are the parts usually affected,
and sometimes the hair falls out and a mass of sores forms on the scalp.
These and all skin diseases are due to the same cause burning acids and humors in
the blood, and until this vital fluid is cleansed and made pure they will continue. The best
treatment for all skin diseases is b. b. b., a remedy that is purely vegetable, being made en
tirely from roots, herbs and barks, and acts directly on the blood with a cleansing, healing
effect. It neutralizes the acids and purifies the blood so that the skin, instead of being
blistered and burned by the fiery fluids, is nourished by a supply of cooling, healthy blood.
It goes down into the circulation and forces out every particle of waste or foreign matter,
builds up the blood and cures all skin diseases promptly
and permanently. S. S. S. does not leave the least par
ticle of the poison for future outbreaks, but entirely rids
the blood of the cause for all skin diseases.
S. S. S. tones up the system and regulates the
Liver, Kidneys and Bowels so that they will carry off
the natural waste and refuse matter through the proper
channels, instead of leaving it to be absorbed by the
blood. Nothing equals S. S. S. in the treatment of these troubles and for building up the
general health. Write for our treatise on skin diseases and any medical advice you wish.

the Chetcamp River, south of Grande
Etang. Cape Breton, tells of meeting a
man In the barren lands who has been
living In a tree for three summers be
cause he believes it will cure his hay
fever.
Carrol says that the man, who claim
ed that his name was Strong and that
he came from St. John. X. B.. had built
himself a comfortable cabin of one room
In the branches of a gianf hemlock
and was thoroughly enjoying life. The
house was set about forty feet from the
ground and was reached by several lad
ders which were spiked against the
sides of the tree trunk.
In the cabin was a bed m.tde of
boughs, a stove constructed out of sheet i
Iron, three looking glasses, a lamp. !
three rustic chairs and thirty-six ensh
Ions stuffed with balsam needles. The
place was as neat as If kept by a worn-'
an and was built so that there would
be no waste space. I
Strong was rather reticent, but Car
rol learned enough to convince him that
the man was in his right mind and that
he really believed the "tree cure" was
doing him good. He said he couldn't
explain why the hay fever would not
attack hltn as long as he lived In a tree,
but that It was a fact and he took ad
vantage of it. He II veil mostly on fish
and game, but he had some vegetables
