PILLS. CHERKY PECTORAL. COLOR SENSE IN ANIMALS. Poaoonod to Hitch Degree by Some, Knpeclullr by lllrd. A hypothesis that the Bense of colors Is posHesKod to a high degree by animals and especially by birds furnished a basis for some of the most beautiful and fecund of the Darwinian theories of sexual selection. No Darwinist doubts that the brilliant colors of male birds are to attract the attention of the female birds, and this presupiioses nat urally on the part of these birds a fine Bense of color. Wallace, has assorted that to the fact that certain plants bear fruit of bril liant colors is due their preservation; the animals, attracted by these colors, break tho fruits from the trees or plants, carry them off and thus indirect ly assist In the dissemination of the eeeds which they contain over large tracts of land. And this function of selection on the part of animals pre supposes in them a certain sense of color. Still, scientific documents in sup port of these hypotheses are rare. Dahl, alluding to the scarcity of them In an article In a recent number of the Naturwissenshaftllche Woekenschift, re lates somo Interesting experiments which he made with a monkey. He col ored some sweets with a certain colored dye and some bitter substances with that of another color and declares that after a few attempts the monkey learn ed to leave without even tasting these articles of food colored with the dye which Indicated bitter-tasting sub stances and seized at once upon those, which Indicated sweets. Varying the experiments sufficiently, lie found that the monkey distinguished all the different colors readily save only dark blue. Dahl calls attention to tho fact that Mayer has stated that many savage tribes cannot distinguish dark blue from black and that even children do not distinguish this color intil later than all others.

Now almost any shape which can be In gray or malleable Iron can be made In cast steel.

Everywhere one hears, "I seen Jim yesterday and be told me he done we'd at that job.". The people who may be broadly characterized as the "I seen I done" tribe pervade everything and seem to Include nearly everybody. Wlieu It ' comes to verbs like "He, lay, lain," and "lay, laid, laid," or sit sat sat," and "set, set, set," the best of us are liable to error, and mistakes are pardonable. But what excuse can anybody find for confusing "see, saw, seen," or "do, did, done?" It Is the first verb which suffers the more for thsse who do not say "I seen him yesterday'' are likely to say "I see him yesterday," whereas even those who say "I done It yesterday" never fall Into the absurdity of "I do It yesterday."

Dear Sirs : I had a friend who had a bad case of Con tagious Blood Poison and was In a terrible condition. Ha tried all the medicines he oould hear of, but nothing did him any good. He went to Hot Springs but It was like the other treatments he had used, and he was in despair of a cure when he heard of S. 8, S. After taking it for awhile the sores all healed, his hair stopped falling out, . and, continuing with it, he soon found himself cured en tirely of this hideous disease. JOHN LESLIE, Rookford, 111. 719 W, State St. I was afflioted with Blood Poison, and the' best doc tors did me no good, though I took their treatment faith fully. In fact I seemed to get worse all the while. I took almost every so-called blood remedy, but they did not seem to reach the disease, and had no effect whatever, I was disheartened, for It seemed that I would never be cured. At the advioe of a friend I then took S. S. S. and began to improve. I continued the medicine, and it cured me completely. ' . W. R. NEWMAN. Hamlet, N. 0. HUMILIATING -ILE -BESTMJCTI1E The very name, Contagious Blood Poison, suggests contamination and dread. It is the worst disease the world has ever known; responsible for more unhappiness and sorrow than all others combined. Nobody knows anything about the origin of this loathsome trouble, but as far back as history goes it has been regarded the greatest curse of mankind. No part of the body is beyond the reach of this powerful poison. No matter how pure the blood may be, when the virus of Contagious Blood Poison enters, the entire circulation becomes corrupted, the humiliating symptoms begin to appear, and the sufferer finds himself diseased from head to foot with the vilest and most destructive of all poisons. Usually the first symptom is a small sore or ulcer, so insignificant that it rarely ever excites suspicion, duc in a snort wime tne SKin breaks out in a red rash, the glands of the groin swell, the throat and mouth ulcerate, the hair and eye-brows come out, and often the body is covered with copper-colored spots, pustular eruptions and sores. There is hardly any limit to the rava ges of Contagious BJood Poison; if it is not driven from the blood it affects the nerves, attacks the bones, and in extreme cases causes tumors to form on the brain, pro ducing insanity and death. No other dis ease is so highly contagious; many an inno cent person has become infected by using the same toilet articles, handling the clothing, by a friendly handshake or the kiss of affection from one afflicted. But no matter how the disease is contracted, the sufferer feels the humiliation and degradation that accompany the vile disorder. Mercury and Potash are commonly, used in the treatment of Contagious Blood Poison, but these minerals cannot cure the disease they merely mask it in the system. All ex ternal evidences may disappear for awhile, but the treacherous poison is at work on the internal members and tissues, and when these minerals are left off the disease returns worse than before, because the entire system has been weakened and damaged by the strong action of the Mercury and Potash. There is but one certain, reliable cure for Contagious Blood Poison, and that is S. S. S., the great vegetable blood purifier. It attacks the disease in the right way by going down into the blood, neutralizing and forcing out every particle of the poison. It makes the blood pure and rich, strengthens the different parts of the body, tones up the system, and cures this humiliating and destructive disorder permanently. The improvement commences as soon as the patient gets under the influence of S. S. S. and continues until every vestige of the poison is driven from the blood and the sufferer is completely restored to health. S. S. S. is not an experiment ; it is a success; It has cured thousands of cases of Contagious Blood Poison, many of which had given the Mercury and Potash treatment, Hot Springs, etc., a thor ough trial, and had almost despaired of ever being well again. S. S. S. is made entirely of roots, herbs and barks, and does not in iure the system in the least. We offer a reward of $1,000 for proof that it contains a particle of mineral of any kind. If you are suffering with this despicable and debasing disease, get it out of your blood with S. S. S. before it does further damage.

Net Superstition "Duck" Kilgore, of Texas, who once kicked open the door of the House of Representatives when Speaker Reed had all doors locked to prevent the mi nority from leaving the floor and thus escape a vote, was noted for his Indif ference to forms and rules. Speaker Reed, annoyed by members bringing lighted cigars upon the floor of the House Just before opening time, had signs conspicuously poted as follows: "No smoking on the floor of the House." One day just before convening the Iloure his eagle eye detected Kilgore nonchalantly puffing away at a fat ci gar. Calling a page, he told him to give his compliments to the gentleman from Texas and ask him If he had not seen the signs. After a while the page re turned and seated himself without re porting to the Speaker, and Mr. Reed was Irritated to see the gentleman from Texas continue his smoke. With a frown be summoned the page and ask ed: "Did you tell the gentleman from Texas what I said?" "I did," replied the page. "What did he say?" asked Reed. "Well-er," stammered the page, "he said to give his compliments to you and tell you he did not believe In signs." "Without." The German girl who presided over the soda fountain In Heckelmeyer's drug store was accustomed to patrons who did not know their own minds, and her habit of thought was difficult to change. "I'd like a glass of plain soda," said a stout man, entering one day In evi dent haste as well as thirst. "You have vanilla, or' you have lem on?"' tranquilly Inquired the young woman. "I want .plain soda without sirup. Didn't you understand me?" asked the stout man, testily. "Yas," and the placid German face did not change In expression or color. "But wot kind of sirup you want him mltout? Mltout vanilla, or niitout lemon?" Great Britain maintains an army ot from 60,000 to 80,000 whites In India continually.
