Men have waded In the stream until the water reached their chins nud then gotio In n boat to points where they were unable to touch bottom with the longest oars. A fanner carried his boat Into the cave several years ago to follow the stream to the end. At a depth estimated to bo '-'00 feet below the surface or the ground I a natural bridge formed by a huge stone that fell across the stream. The water plunges ' underneath this bridge like n mill rnce. A boat can be pulled over tho bridge, J however, and launched on the othsri side. About 100 feet below the bridge the stream widens Into a broad, deep, pool, with a high, vnulled roof. Ileati t If ill stnlagmltes aud stalactites adorn this chamber. Two hundred reet below this pool the passage Is difficult. It Is claimed Hint this cave has been ex plored for a mile. The stream Is believed to find Its out let nt a spring abour three mltra from the entrance to the cave. The sprint; Is of great alxe and volume and flows with remarkable swiftness. In the rainy seaaon' the spring bolls and gushes ns If choked with a flood of water that pours from Its mouth. The stream In Dock Prnlrle envo rises when I there la a heavy rainfall In the sur rounding country and tho Increased flow of both springs and stream nt ' such times Is taken as evidence that they are connected.

The mirror nc'er flatters: It tells truth, no matter how much it may hurt the Tjridc or how humiliating and disagreeable the reflections. A red, rough skin is fatal to beautv. aud blackheads, blotches and pimples Are ruinous to the complexion, and no wonder such desperate efforts are made to hide these blemishes, and cover over the defects, and some never etop to consider the danger in skin foods, face lotions, soaps, salves and powders, but apply tnetn vigorously anuoiten wim- 'd out regatd to consequences, and many complexions are ruined by the chemicals and poisons contained In these cosmetics. Skin diseases arc due to internal causes, to humors and poisons in the blood, and to attempt a cure by exter nal treatment is an endless, fiopelesa task. Some simple wash or ointment is often beneficial when the skin is much inflamed or itches, but you can't depend upon local remedies for uerma ncnt relief, for the blood is continually throwing off impurities which irritate and clog the glands and pores ol the skin, and as long as the blood re . mains unhealthy, just so long will the eruptions last. To effectually and per manently cure skin troubles the blood must be purified and the system thoroughly cleansed and built up, and S. S. S., the well known blood purifier and tonic, is acknowledged superior to all other remedies for this purpose. It is the only guaranteed strictly vegeta ble blood remedy. It never deranges 4fi ftvfitim at imrtairs the dictation like Potash and Arsenic and drugs of this character, but aids in the digestion and assimilation of food and improves the appetite. Being a blood purifier and tonic comDinea, me Humors ana poi sons are counteracted and the blood made rich and pure, and at the same time the general health and system is rapidly built up and good health is established, and this, after all, is the secret of a smooth, soft skin and beautiful complexion.
