Rheumatism does more than any other dis-
ease to rob life of pleasure and comfort. It is so painful and far-reaching in
its effects on the system that those afflicted with it find themselves utterly
unable to enjoy bodily comfort or any of the pleasures of life. Some are
bound hand and foot and suffer constantly with excruciating pains, swollen
stiff joints and muscles, and

The cause of Rheumatism is a sour, acid condition of the blood, produced
by food lying undigested in the stomach, poor bowel action, weak kidney#
and a general sluggish condition of the system. External applications, such
us liniments, oils, plasters, etc., do not reach the cause and can only give tem­
porary relief. The blood must be cleansed and puri­
fied before a cure can be had. S. S. S. attacks the
disease in the right way— it neutralizes the poison
and filters out every particle of it from the blood,
stimulates the sluggish organs and clears the sys­
tem 01 all foreign matter. It cures the disease permanently and safely
because it contains no harmful minerals to derange the stomach and diges­
tion. Bo^k on Rheumatism and any advice you wish, without charge.

He was an aesthetic young man
from the city. The floor manager In­
troduced him to a divine young crea­
ture in blue, and they stood In the
set waiting for the prompter's call.
‘‘What a charming assembly," re­
marked the young man from the city,
gazing around upon the array of beau­
tiful faces and costumes.
“ There is
something so captivating, so ethereal-
izlng, in these gatherings of culture
and refinement, that 1 'am
always
charmed when I can mingle with such
a Joyous throng. I)o you not pro­
nounce this a fashionable and Intel­
lectual soiree—a superior gathering of
beauty and gentility?”
“ It ’s the boss," replied the gentle
creature in blue, as she arranged the
fastening of a neat little glove.
The young man from the city had
to be assisted out of the hall.
Dr. J. Marty, a French criminologist,
has recently made an examination of
4,000 delinquent soldiers o f the French
army, and has found that in height,
weight, breast
measure, muscular
power and general condition they aver­
aged much better than the well-be­
haved soldiers.
Dr. Marty does not
Imply that criminals are by nature bet­
ter physically than non-criminals, but
suggests that the condition o f criminal
families Is so much more wretched
than respectable ones that only the
uncommonly strong survive.

Ascertaining losses by war opera-
tloua is a very difficult task, and yet
approximate results have been secured,
Bays Leslie s Weekly, it is noteworthy,
but no occasion for surprise, that the
number killed aud w’ouuded in war
during 1904 greatly exceeds that of
1903 by reason of the sanguinary con­
test between Japan and Russia, in
which lives have been recklessly sacri­
ficed. The total loss for the year is
about 400,000, as compared with 80,000
in 1903, 25,000 In 1902 and 3,000 in
1901.
The total losses in the Russo-Japa­
nese war have not been officially stat­
ed, but from the most reliable unofficial
accounts they will amount to at least
870,000. Other losses have been as fol­
lows: Armenia, including massacres,
7,864; Tibet, 0,492; Philippines, 3,239;
Sumatra, 2,379; Africa, 3,714; Uruguay,
2,035; Macedonia, 820; Santo Domingo,
240; Bulgaria, 239; Morocco, 50; Ara­
bia, 40.
Wellington used to say that it was
impossible to tell the number of men
lost by the French, .«¡evertheless he
put 80,000 or 40,000 as the number on
both sides killed at Waterloo. San­
guinary as has been the recent fighting
between the Russian and Japanese ar­
mies, the results are less terrible than
those of that day. Experience is teach­
ing us that, murderous as are the
weapons of modern make, the actual
mortality In the battles of to-day la
not as heavy as in the time when ar­
maments were not, on paper, so deaw-
iy-
A t Uetpslc, where 460,000 men were
engaged, 90,000 men were lost. At 8a-
dowa there were 430,000 men, of whom
the Prussians lost 1,147 officers and
8,794 men, and the Austrians 30,000.
A t Borodino there were 74,000 casual­
ties; at Ua Belle Alliance 61,000. In
our Civil War the greatest battle was
at the Wilderness, where of the 142.000
Federals, one-seventh were lost, and of
the 52,000 Confederates a correspond­
ing proportion.
Deadlier still
was
Pittsburg Landing, where General
Grant lost 25 per cent of his men.

“ only one side to hla tongue," and
wishes to add to his resources in the
matter of language, It might be well
i for him to apply to an old man in
Scotland, whose methods of Instruc­
tion are simple. They are described In
j “ Scenes In Scotland” by Mr. Sinclair.
A lady visiting in the north of Scot­
land wished to get some Idea of the
Gaelic, aud employed an old native to
give her a course of language lessons
The Scotsman took the Bible for the
text-book, and opening It at the begin­
ning of Genesis, he sold;
“ Now, ma’am, I ’ll read this to you
In the Gaelic, and you'll see yourself
bow it will go."
With solemn Intonation and an ap­
pealing. triumphant glance toward the
lady at the end of ever}- clause, he
loudly read the first four verses, and
paused to watch the effect Then he
said, in a tone o f deep conviction:
“ Now. ma'am. If you’ll take your
own Bible and turn to this chapter
and read It in English, you'll see it's
just the self-same thing.
The old man was much surprised
that tha lady did not continue her les­

The rails of the Mexican Gulf Rail­
road are laid on mahogany sleepers,
and the bridges built o f white marble.
In West Mexico Is a line with ebony
sleepers and ballast of silver ore drawn
from the mines beside the track. The
engineers constructing these railways
had no other material on the route,
and found It cheaper to use these seem­
ing extravagances than to Import the
ordinary material.
Formerly, It was believed that those
people who worked In gardens were

people who work In garden* for
health and pleasure are fashionable.
