JAPAN A BIO STEEL BUYEB.
Haul Placed Several Large Ordera In
the United States.
In a quiet way the Imperial govern
ment of Japan has been placing some
big orders in the markets of the United
States which will help to keep our ln
duKtrles busy. I'aynient for the sup
plies ordered will distribute In this
country some of the capital which Unit
ed States Investors parted with when
they bought the Japanese bonds.
From a reliable source It Is ascer
tained that the orders now placed In
this country by Japan for railroad sup
plies and In the course of execution ag
gregate In value the largo sum of $7,
000,000. An order was recently placed
with the United States Steel Corpora
tion for 51,000 tons of rails to be deliv
ered In lots of fi,000 tons a month at
the standard price of $28 a ton.
These rails, with the fastenings, will
cost the Imperial government about $30
a ton, when they are delivered at
Dalny. They are to be used In the
construction of railroads In Manchuria
by Japan.
Orders for 310 bridges have also re
cently been placed with the United
states Steel Corporation by the Impe
rial government of Japan, while from
the same source orders for 000 cars and
115 locomotives have also been placed
In American shops. All the equipment
Is up to date In specifications.
During the war Japan was so anx
ious to obtain locomotives and can
that cast-off equipment was accepted,
But now the best that can be made Is
none too good to satisfy the exacting
demand for the government work. A
corps of agents Is stationed at the va
rious shops for the purpose of Inspect
lng materials and workmanship and to
see that the specifications are lived up
to In the minutest detail. v

Granular Eyelid.
Trachoma, or granular eyelids, Is
the disease which the authorities are
striving so hard to keep from becom
ing established in this country. It al
ready prevails here to a considerable
extent, but It could 'be overcome if
fresh cases could be excluded ;' and It
Is because many would-be immigrants
suffer from it that they are turned
back from these shores every year.
It Is a disease which afflicts chiefly
the poorest classes in Europe, especial
ly in Russia and Poland, and Its spread
through contagion Is Increased by the
dirty and unhygienic surroundings in
which these people live.
The disease Is extremely contagious,
and If introduced into a public school
Is likely to attack a very large number
of the pupils unless it Is early recog
nized and the sufferers are excluded.
The inflammation, which soon be
comes chronic in its course, Involves at
first the mucous membrane which lines
the lids, but Is almost certain, If neg
lected, to spread to the covering of the
eyeball. If the lid is examined it will
be seen to be studded on Its under sur
face with a number of little round bod
ies of a grayish-white color, embedded
In the thickened mucous membrane.
The upper lids droop, bo that the eyes
are only half open. After n time the
eye itself becomes affected and the
cornea grows opaque. This leads to
more or less complete blindness.
The treatment of granular lids must
be energetic, and begun early, if relief
is to.be hoped for, since the disease
is a progressive one, which advances
steadily to scarring and Impairment of
vision unless checked in time.
The treatment is one calling for the
skill of the physician. Domestic rem
edies are useless, even harmful, since
the application of them causes danger
ous delay and postpones the institution
of scientific measures of relief.
For the protection of others it is vi
tally Important that the sufferer from
granular lids should have his own toi
let articles soap, towels and even
wash basin which must on no account
be used by others. The towels and
handkerchiefs used by him should not
go into the common wash, and should
always be thoroughly boiled for ten or
fifteen minutes and Ironed with as hot
an Iron as can be used without scorch
ing. It Is only by the exercise of per
sistent precautions of this sort that the
other members of the family can be
protected. ;.

Edgar Saltus, the brilliant novelist,
was asked by a young lady at a tea If ,
he thought that the use of quotations
was a good thing. j
"Quotations are only good," said Mr.
Saltus, "when they are extremely apt.
There was once a witty Irishman,
Jumes E. Fitzgerald, who made excel
lent use of a quotation in a political
speech. During this speech he was re
peatedly interrupted by a butcher, the
proprietor of a large sausage-making
plant. An adherent of Fitzgerald's
finally took offense at the butcher's
mocking remarks, and yelled: :
" 'Hey, you, leave politics alone, and
go back to your sausage machines!'
"The butcher glared at the man and
retorted :
" 'If I had this speaker In one of my
sausage machines, I'd soon make mince- i
meat of him.'
"Then Mr. Fitzgerald quoted from
the platform with a smile:
" 'Is thy servant a dog 1 that thou
shouldst do this thing?' "
A Queer Error.
The late Ambrose L. Thomas, the
noted advertising expert of Chicago,
once told a story about two doctors In
an address on advertising.
"To Illustrate my point," he said,
apropos of an advertising error, "I'll
tell you about my friend Bones. Bones
was taken down very bad, and, his fam
ily physician being out of town, a spe
cialist was called In.
"But the family physician unexpect
edly returned, and he and the special
ist entered Bones' chamber together.
They found the man in a high fever
and partially unconscious. Each put .
his hand under the bed clothes to feel
Bones' pulse, and each accidentally got
hold of the other's hand.
' 'He has typhoid,' said the first phy
sician. " 'Nothing of the kind,' said the oth
er. 'He's only drunk.' "

Thackeray's Pantomime.
William Makepeace Thackeray was
always too genial, too generous, too
open handed, to be an accumulator of
this world's goods, and in spite of the
large earnings of his pen he died a
poor man. Shortly before his death his
friend, John Leech, the cartoonist, call
ed 'upon him and found him In his
study writing writing and sighing at
the monotony of his work.
"Why don't you have a holiday,"
said Leech, "and take your girls to the

BAB BLOOD
TOE SOURCE OFiUX DISEASE
Every part of the body la dependent on the blood for nourishment and
strength. When this life stream is flowing through the system in a state of
purity and richness we are assured of perfect and uninterrupted health;
because pure blood Is nature's safe-guard against disease. When, however,
the body i3 fed on weak, impure or polluted blood, the system is deprived of
its strength, disease germs collect, and the trouble is manifested in various
ways. Pustular eruptions, pimples, rashes and the different skin affections
show that the blood is in a feverish and diseased condition as a result of too
much acid or the presence of 6ome irritating humor. Sores and Ulcers are
the result of morbid, unhealthy matter in the blood, and Rheumatism, Ca
tarrh, Scrofula, Contagious Blood Poison, etc., are all deep-seated blood
disorders that will continue to grow worse a3 long a9 the poison remains.
These impurities and poisons find their way into the blood in various ways.
Often a sluggish, inactive condition of the system, and torpid state of the
avenues of bodily waste, leaves the refuse and waste matters to 6our and
form uric and other acids, which are taken up by the blood and distributed
throughout the circulation. Coming in contact with contagious diseases is
another cause for the poisoning of the blood ; we also breathe the germs and
microbes of Malaria into our lungs, and when these get into the blood in
sufficient quantity it becomes a carrier of disease instead of health. Some
are so unfortunate as to inherit bad blood, perhaps the dregs of some old
constitutional disease of ancestors is handed down to them and they are
constantly annoyed and troubled with it. Bad blood is the source of all dis
ease, and until this vital fluid is cleansed and purified the body is sure to
suffer in some way. For blood troubles of any character S. S. S. is the best
remedy ever discovered. It goes down into the circulation and removes any
and all poisons, supplies the healthful properties it needs, and completely
and permanently cures blood diseases of
every kind. The action of S. S. S. is so
thorough that hereditary taints are removed
and weak, diseased blood made strong and
healthy so that disease cannot remain. It
cures Rheumatism, Catarrh, Scrofula, Sores
PURELY VEGETABLE ??d C(:T9 Skla peases, Contagious
Blood Poison, etc., and does not leave the
slightest trace of the trouble for future outbreaks. The whole volume of
blood is renewed and cleansed after a course of S. S. S. It is also nature's
greatest tonic, made entirely of roots, herbs and barks, and is absolutely
harmless to any part of the system. 1 S. S. S. is for sale at all first class
feug stores. Book on the blood and any medical advice free to all who write.

At Quimper, in Brittany, the wife of
a man named Le Saux gave birth to a
boy. The father took the child and
sold It for 8 to the wife of the local
butcher, Mme. Bonan. The woman pre
sented it to her husband as her own
newly-born infant and Bonan hastened
to register the child's birth.
Le Saux, fearing that he might get
into trouble with the police, next con
sulted the butcher, whom be supposed
to be a party to the fraud. The duped j
husband threw Le Saux out of the '
house. The latter then registered the
birth of his own child. In the eye of
the law, therefore, the infant has
claims on two separate families and en
Joys the unique distinction of being
the son of two mothers. Paris News.
