PORTLAND, Orefoa ' " CONTAGIOUS BLOOD POISON W0 LIMIT TO ITS POWERS FOR EVIL t j Contagious Blood Poison has brought more suffering, misery and humila tlon into the world than all other diseases combined ; there is hardly any limit to its powers for evil. It is the blackest and vilest of all disorders, wrecking the lives of those unfortunate enough to contract it and often being transmitted to innocent offspring, a blighting legacy of suffering and shame. So highly contagious is the trouble that innocent persons may contract it by using the same table ware, toilet articles or clcthing of one in whose blood the treacherous virus has taken root. Not only is it a powerful poison (but a very deceptive one. Only those who have learned by bitter experience , know by the little sore or ulcer, which usually makes its appearance first, of the suffering which is to follow. It comes ia the form of ulcerated mouth. , and throat, unsightly copper colored spots, swollen glands in the groin, falling hair, offensive sores and ulcers on the body, and in severe cases the fintrf r nail9 droo off. the bones become diseased, the nervous 6ystem is shat- " itered and the sufferer becomes an object of pity to his fellow man. Especi ally is the treacherous nature of Contagious Blood Poison, shown when the infected person endeavors to combat the poison with mercury and potash. These minerals will drive away all outward symptoms of the troubles for urrtil and trie victim is deceived into the belief that he is cured. When, however, the treatment is left off he finds that the poison has only been driven deeper into the blood and the disease reappears, and usually in worse form two use thrse stroncr minerals have not only failed to remove the virus from the blood but have weakened the entire system because of their destructive action.

Siberia, so far from being a country of desolation, Is In some districts as green and fertile a land as Australia. Probably the Russlns themselves have no very definite ideas about the mar velous fertility of this territory, which occupies so large a space on the map of Asia. The soil is of great richness, and the crops, wherever the country Is cultivated, are of almost phenomenal abundance. For the most part it has lain idle so long that its productive power Is almost Illimitable. The forest tracts are luxuriant, and the natural Irrigation system magnificent There Is room In Siberia for millions of colon ists, and an abundant living for them all.

Sow to Erect Oae for Frodaetlon ss Horn Theatrical. No pleasanter home entertainment can be prepared than a well conducted. play ; but In order to be this something more is needed than good amateur act ing, Important as this admittedly Is. To have a home play go off" wen. there must be something done In the way of .stage appointments, and toe nearer these can approximate genuine accessories so much the better. The Illustrations show a plan for building a stage at one end or on one side of a room, all the worn Demg or such a nature that no Injury need be done to the woodwork or the furnish ings. A situation should be chosen so that a door may open from one side of the space set apart for the stage. This will give opportunity for the mak ing of "entrances" and "exits," . and FOUNDATION FOB TBI STAGE. for the changing of costumes, if de sired, if there are windows, or an other door, at the back of the stage, these can be utilized as part of tbe scenery" of the stage fittings. The stage must be raised about two feet above the floor. A simple frame work can be laid up as suggested In tbe first Illustration, without using any nails whatever. Three-by-four Joists can be cut to the right lengths and placed as shown, stout blocks or boxes holding tbe joists at tbe proper height above the floor. On these timbers the floor Is laid, the first board being shown In position In the Illustration. Openings cut in this first board give a chance to set ordinary hand lamps upon the, cross-wise timber, to serve. as "foot lights," tin shields being tacked In front of them as suggested. A very simple method, also shown In this same illustration, Is used for hang ing the curtain In front of tbe stage, and for making "wings" at tbe side of the stage. Stout screw-eyes are placed In the walls on either side at proper distances, and from these, wires are stretched tightly across the space above THE STAGE COMPLETE. the stage. On the one In front the cur tain is bung, while upon the others are bung narrow strips of cloth to form the wings. This plan Is plainly shown In the second Illustration, which also shows the footlights in position, and the front of the stage covered with cloth or paper. The floor can be covered with a large "art square" or rug, or with a piece of common carpeting. The curtains in front should be as light as possible, un- less very stout wire and screw eyes are used. If a door Is desired at the back of tbe stage, and no door Is ready at hand In the rear partition, a curtain can be hung clear across the stage on the rear wire, with an opening In tbe cen ter, where a portiere can be hung. The stage furnishings, chairs, tables, couches, etc., will depend, of course, upon the nature of the play; but It should be remembered that a handsome setting" of the stage will add much to the attractiveness of the entertainment Webb Donnell In Ladles World. Planting- Trout. I It was the policy of the officers of a certain railroad line, In all their ad vertising matter, to place great stress on the excellence or the trout-nshlng to be reached by their Hues; and in order to provide the trout, it was neces sary from time to time to plant the advertised streams with fry. On one occaalon an old gardener named Conelly, who had charge of the station grounds, was sent out with the cans of fry, procured from the State hatchery, and a railroad map, marked to show exactly where to plant the tiny nsn. Conelly returned that night, how ever, with pan or tne rry sun un- planted. He needed further instruc tions from the general passenger agent, who bad marked the map. "Say, mister," said Conelly, scratch ing his perplexed bead with one hand and pointing to tbe can with the other, "shall I plant thlm fish wld the' tails up, or downr "Why," shouted the Irascible agent, "you thundering blockhead "Alsy, alayl" murmured Conelly, "Otm no such blockhead aa ye'd think.

"I tell you, Maria," said Farmer Heck, after the visitor from the city had re tired for the night, "it's doing Uncle Henry a power of good to get away from the city and come out here where ha can breathe the fresh air.

Apropos of the mushroom growth of new towns on the Western frontier a locomotive engineer relates the follow ing: "One day I was driving my engine across the prairie when suddenly a con siderable town loomed up ahead where nothing had showed up the day before, "'What town's this?' says I to my fireman. "'Blamed If I know,' says Bill. 'It wasn't here when we went over the road yesterday.' "Well, I slowed down, and directly we pulled into the station, where over five hundred people were waiting on the platform to see the first train come in. "The conductor came along up front and says to me: "'Jim, first we know we'll be run nlng by some Important place.
