THAT DO
NOT HEAL Ì ■Humorous
W henever a sore or nicer does not heal, no matter on what part o f the
body it m ay be, it is because o f a poisoned condition o f the blood. This
poison may be the remains o f some constitutional trouble; the effect o f a
lon g spell o f sickness, which has left this v ita l stream polluted and weak,
or because the natural refuse m atter o f the body, which should pass off
through the channels o f nature, has been left in the system and absorbed
into the circulation. I t does not matter how the poison became intrenched
in the blood, the fact that the sore is there and does not heal is evidence of
a deep, underlying cause. There is nothing that causes more discomfort,
worry and anxiety than a festering, discharging old sore that resists treat
ment. The very sight o f it is abhorrent and suggests pollution and disease ;
besides the tim e and attention required to keep it clean and free from other

supply of poison from the blood
would cause the inflammation and old discharge to return and the sore would
be as bad or worse than before. Sores that do not heal are not due to out
side causes; if they were, external treatment would cure them. They are
kept open because the blood is steeped in poison, which finds an outlet
through these places. W hile young people, and even children, sometimes
suffer with non-healing sores, those most usually afflicted are persons past
middle life. Often, with them, a wart or mole on the face inflames and be
gins to ulcerate from a little rough handling ; or a deep, offensive ulcer de
velops from a slight cut or bruise. Their vital energies and powers of re
sistance have grown less, and circulation weaker, and perhaps some taint in
the blood, which was held In check by their stronger constitutions of early
life, shows itself. It is well to be sus-
picious of any sore that does not heal
readily, because the same germ that
produces Cancer is back of every old

and makes a permanent cure. S. S. S. enriches and freshens the circulation
so that it carries new, strong blood to the diseased parts and allows the place

entertaining, perhaps, and
equally interesting, are the anecdotes
which are told about our President by
the Mlnkwitz family. Frau Fischer
distinctly recollects that once she
prophesied the future greatness of
young Teddy. She says: ‘‘One day I
had a conversation with Mrs. Roose
velt, who said to me, ‘I wonder what
is going to become of my Teddy?1 I
replied, ‘You need not be anxious
•bout him. He will surely be one day
a great professor, or, who knows, he
may become even President o f the
United States.’ Mrs. Roosevelt re
buked me. She said such a thing was
impossible, and asked how I coudd
have struck upon such an absurdity.
But, perhaps on account of my impul
sive remark, I have since continually
watched Theodore Roosevelt’s career,
and have always been glad when he
has made a step forward In the
world.” — From “ Roosevelt’s German

A HOPELESS LAND.
j
Caste la a great aocial organisation
which governs and directs the Hindu
of India In every action of his daily
life. There are four fundamental di
visions of casts— the priestly or Brah
min, the warrior, the trading, and the
laboring; and these, agalnfl are divid
ed Into sub-sections numbering thou
sands. Below tbs laboring caste there
Is a aubstratum which la termed Pa
rlah or outcast. The Pariah, says the
author of “ Indian Life In Town and
Country," Is not much more than a
sanitary machine which performs the
functions of a scavenger.
All these castes are hereditary. A
priest's son Is a priest, a soldier's a
soldier, a carpenter's a carpenter, a
scavenger’s a scavenger. There Is no
question of "W h at shall we do with
our boys?” In Hinduism; that problem
has been solved In advance tor two
thousand ysara. For a Aire to start
his son In any other calling thun bis
own would be "agqlnst his caste,” and
there all argument ends. For caste
Is both social and religious, and In
cludes the calling as well as the creed.
A Hindu cannot change hit caste, al
though he may be expelled from It;
his social status Is fixed forever at
the time of hts birth, and he can only
fall, never rise. This has tended to
make the Hindus an ambltlonless race.
Caste will admit no infusion of new
blood, and when the same exclusive
spirit Is Imported Into the ordinary
dealings of life, you arrive at that stag
nant conservatism which is called
“ custom" In the East.
Caste Is restricted to the Hindus,
but custom Is universal. There Is the
Indian peasant's plow. The overwhelm
ing majority of the Inhabitants of In
dia are dependent on the laud, and
their crops would be much Increased
by better methods of cultivation.
The plow In use Is an Implement
which merely scratches the surface of
the earth— an heirloom from remotest
antiquity. A new plow was Introduc
ed by an enterprising firm of manufac
turers, and lent free for trial broad
cast over a province. It did the work
mors thoroughly, and was offered at a
price within the peasant's means. But
It did not “ catch on,” stmpiy because
the plowman could not get at his bul
locks' tails to twist them. The ►
perior tillage, the Increase of crop,
could not compensate for the relin
quishment o f this ttme-honoicd cus
tom.
There was a contractor engaged In
a railway excavation, who recognized
that the soil could be far more expedi
tiously removed in wheelbarrows than
carried away in baskets on the heads
of coolies. So he Invested in some
wheelbarrows and showed how they
were to be trundled, and flattered him
self upon having introduced a useful
reform. The next time he visited his
works he found his men putting a lit
tle dust into the wheelbarrows and car
rying them away on their heads.
The paraphernalia of Indian dally
life all belongs to the barbarous ages.

you are rebuffed with the reply, “ It
Is not the custom. My father used

Thus is stifled all attempt at reform.
There is not the excuse of Ignorance.

three big shipyards on the Delaware
River, there Is an army of 10,000 men
dally hammering, forging and weld
ing, bending every energy toward the
completion of the great vessels under
construction here, says the Philadel
phia Ledger. Never have the employes
of Cramps’, Neafle & L evy’s and the
New York Shipbuilding Company been
busier than at present. Particularly
Is this true of Cramps’, where twelve
different vessels are under construc
tion. This yard alone is employing
6,300 workmen.
Tho greater part of this work Is
being done for Uncle Sam, seven
ships being under way here. T w o of
these, the armored ctuiser Tennessee
at Cramps, and her sister ship, the
Washington, which is being built at
the South Camden yards of the New
York Shipbuilding Company, have at
tracted attention by the effort« which
the respective companies are making
to finish the contract first. Both are
now nearing completion, with- the
Tennessee slightly In the lead.
Besides the work on the warships
six large passenger steamships are

K nown Q uality
There are tw o classes of remedies: those of known qual
ity and which are permanently beneficial in effect, acting
gen tly, in harmony with nature, when nature needs assist
ance ; and another class, composed of preparations of
unknown, uncertain and inferior character, acting tempo
rarily, but injuriously, as a result of forcing the natural
functions unnecessarily. O n e of the most exceptional of
the rem ediesof known quality andexcellence is the ever
pleasant Syrup of Figs, manufactured by the California
Fig Syrup C o ., which represents the active principles of
plants, known to act most beneficially, in a pleasant syrup,
in which the wholesome Californian blue figs are used to con
tribute their rich, y e t delicate, fruity flavor. It is the remedy
of all remedies to sweeten and refreshandcleanse the system
gently and naturally, and to assist one in overcoming consti
pation and the many ills resultingtherefrom . Us active princi
ples and quality are known to physicians generally, and the
remedy has therefore met with their approval, as w ell as with
the favor o f many millions of w ell informed persons who know
of their own personal knowledge and from actual experience
that it is a most excellent laxative rem edy. W e do not claim that
it w ill cure all manner of ills,but recommend it for what it really
represents, a laxative rem edy of known quality and excellence,
containing nothing of an objectionable or injurious character.
Th ere are tw o classes of purchasers: those who are informed
as to the quality of what th ey buy and the reasonsfor the excellence
of articles of exceptional merit, and who do not lack courage to go
elsewhere when a dealer offers an imitation of any w ell known
article; but, unfortunately, there are some people who do not know,
and who allow them selves to be imposed upon. T h ey cannot expect
its beneficial effects if they do not get the genuine remedy.
T o the credit of the druggists of the United States be it said
that nearly all of them value their reputation for professional
integrity and the good will o f their customers too highly to offer
imitations of the

A man who sets out to reach the
north pole should know bow to endure
hardships, and Commander Peary long
ago began to learn. A prominent citi
zen of Maine, himself a lover of out
door life, tells the Lewlstou Journal
that when Peary was a young man It
was a common thing for him to take
“ a camping outfit of a blanket and a
lunch” and start for the mountains
bordering upon Mulne and New Hamp
shire.
There, alone, he would pass days ex
ploring ravines, ledges and the deep,
secluded spots, cooking his own meals
and feasting upon the trout with which
the streams abounded. He never built
a camp; be simply rolled himself in a
blanket to sleep, but he would come
out brown and hardy.
On one of these occasions he had
taken a canoe to the bead waters of
Cold river, and after passing a few
days camedown to Saco and stopped at
about 5 o'clock for a word with those
in my camp. W e expected to have the
pleasure of his company for the night,
thinking that he would welcome hearty
meals and a good bed. But, “ No,” he
said. “ I never sleep Indoors when on
these trips.”
It was a cold, windy November
night, but he bade us good-by and went
down the river. The next morning
beside a stone wall, we found his
camping place. A few smoky embers
told us where he bad cooked his break
fast, and a spot on the grass six and
a half feet long and free from white
frost showed us where he had slept.
