Cross Purposes. Marshall Wilder tells of an elderly lady In Cohoes, who, besides her deaf ness, experienced much trouble with false teeth. Consequently she was disposed to regard this world as a vale of tears. . A neighbor, passing her house one day, beheld the lady sitting at the window, wearing an expression of more than usual gloom. Thinking to cheer the unfortunate one, the goodr hearted neighbor screamed at the top of her voice: "Good morning, Mrs. Blank. Fine . weather we're having." "Yes," replied the elderly lady, "but I can't eat with 'em yit" Newspaper Nicknames In London. Judge Bentoul'a reference on the bench to the Times as the "Thunderer" reminds us how remarkably this nick name has persisted. The Morning Tost Is no longer "Jeames"; the Standard has not been "Mrs. Gamp" since the de cease of the Morning Herald the "Mrs. Harris" to whom It would allude as n Independent authority. But the Times is still the! "Thunderer." It owes that name to Capt Edward Sterling, who Is said to have begun a Times' article with the words: "We thundered forth the other day an article on the subject of , social and political reform."

MEUMATISM CAN NOT BEt BUBBED AWAY - It Is perfectly natural to rub the spot that hurts, and when the muscles nerves, joints and bones are throbbing and twitching with the pain3 of Rheumatism the sufferer i3 apt to turn to the liniment bottle, or some other external application, in an effort to get relief from the disease, by producing TOunter-irritation on the flesh. Such treatment will quiet the pain tempo rarily, but can have no direct curative effect on the real disease because it does not reach the blood, where the cause is located. Rheumatism is more lhan skin deep it i3 rooted and grounded in the blood and can only be reached by constitutional treatment IT CANNOT BE RUBBED AWAY. Rheumatism is due to an excess of uric acid in the blood, brought about by the accumulation in the system of refuse matter which the natural avenues cf bodily waste, the Bowels and Kidneys, have failed to carry .off. This refuse matter, coming in contact with the different acids of the body, forms uric acid which is absorbed into the blood and distributed to all parts of the body, and Rheumatism gets possession of the system. The aches and pains are only symptoms, and though they may be scattered or relieved for a time by surface treatment, they will reappear at the first exposure to cold or dampness, or after an attack of indigestion or other irregularity. Rheuma tism can never be permanently cured while the circulation remains saturated with irritating, pain-producing uric acid poison. The disease will shift from muscle to muscle or joint to joint, settling on the nerves, causing inflammation and swelling and such terrible pains that the nervous system is often shattered, the health undermined, and perhaps the patient becomes deformed and crippled for life. S. S. S. thoroughly cleanses the blood and renovates the circulation by neutralizing the acids and expelling all foreign matter from the system. It warms and invigorates the blood so that instead of a weak, sour stream, constantly deposit ing acrid and corrosive matter in the mus cles, nerves, joints and bones, thebody is fed and nourished by rich, health-sustaining blood which completely and permanently cures Rheumatism. S. S. S. is composed of both purifying and tonic properties just what is needed in every case of Rheu matism. It contains no potash, alkali or other mineral ingredient, but i3 made entirely of purifying, healing extracts and uices of roots, herbs and barks. If you are suffering from Rheumatism do not waste valuable time trying to rub a blood disease away, but begin the use of S. S. S. and write us about your case and our physicians will give you any information or advice desired free of charge and will send our special treatise on Rheumatism.

Astronomers long ago came to the conclusion that the moon's surface Is very hot during the height of the lunar day, which lasts two weeks, and very cold during the lunar night, which is equally long. These extremes of tem perature reach their height at the lunar noon and midnight and are greater than any natural temperatures on the earth. Twenty years' observation of phthisis over a district In Dartmoor and North Devon, England, has convinced Investi gators that populations exposed to strong prevalent rainy winds have a higher death rate from consumption than populations sheltered from them. The contrasts in the phthisis death rate In the sheltered and. exposed parishes are very marked. From the point of view of the engi neer, one, of the most Interesting of nil undertakings In the way of tunnel building Is the new railway tunnel just completed under the Hudson river be tween Weehawken and Xew York. Its peculiar interest arises from the fact that the tunnel not only had to pass through soft-flowing river mud, or silt, but that there was no firm, immovable foundation to work upon. Overhead was the great river, with Its tides and Its Innumerable shipping, and under neath, not solid rocks to be penetrated, but a vast depth of soft mud, too deep to enable the engineers to lay the tun nel on its bottom. Yet it has been completed within contract time, In less than three years, and is believed to be available for the heaviest kind of rail way traffic. "i he astronomers are bestirring them selves In preparation for the return of one of the most famous of all comets, that which bears the name of Halley. It Is the greatest comet known to have been seen at more than one return, Its average period being about 75 years. It was last seen in 1835, and will, ac cording to the most recent calculations, be visible again early in 1910. The ob ject of the astronomers at present is to predict the moment of Its perihelion passage with the utmost possible accu racy. Doctor Holetschek, of Vienna, thinks It will be visible with tele scopes as early as January, 1910, and that by March everybody may see It with the naked eye. Later In the year It is likely to make a startling display, several hours before sunrise, In the northern quarter of the sky. Among the many natural curiosities of Arizona, but one that Is not often visited by ordinary tourists, is the sin gular bowl-shaped depression in Ya vapai county called "Montezuma's Well." It Is nearly circular, and be tween 500 and 600 feet in diameter at the brim. It lies In the midst of a nearly level area. The sides are verti cal to a depth, of 30 or 40 feet Below that they merge into a sloping talus, which extends down to a circular pool of water, alleged by popular tradition, as are so many other not very deep areas of water, to be bottomless. This remarkable formation has usually been described as a "pit crater" of volcanic origin. But Prof.' William P. Blake believes it to be the result of the fall ing of the roof of a cavern, formed in the limestone strata by running water. The water of the pool, he says, flows out through a subterranean channel Into the valley of Beaver Creek. I The Cnfortsjaateis.

Indian names are nearly always giv en on account of some act of the child's. If a boy, for Instance, sees a bear and runs to the lodge, he Is likely to be called what, In their language, means "Runs-from-a-bear," and he retains this name until some other notable act of his changes it. If, for example, he should kill a bear, he would no longer be called "Runs-from-a-bear," but "Kills-a-bear." These names, given on account of personal acts or personal traits, seem very strange when trans lated Into English, but they are quite natural in the original. One Year Old at Birth. A Chinese child Is considered a year old at Its birth, and its age is reck oned not from Its birth birthday, but from its New Year's day. If It hap pens to be born on February 1, the day before the Chinese New Year's Day, It Is said to be two years old when It is two days old. It Is one year old when born, and another year is added on its first New Year's Day. It Isuallr Does. "They're both thinking of a divorce now." "Why, I didn't even know they were married."
