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. Scientific

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.

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. We will gladly send our book with instructions for self
treatment and any medical advice, without charge, to all who write.

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."

"You have vanilla, or' you have lem

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
