The old idea of 40 years ago was that facial
eruptions were due to "blood humor," for
which they gave potash. Thus all the old Sarsa-
parillns contain potash, a most Objectionable and
drastic mineral, that instead of decreasing
actually creates moro eruptions. You have NO
dced this when taking other Sarsaparillas than
joys. 1t is however now known that the stom-
ech, the blood creating power, is the seat of all
vitiating or cleansing operations. A stomach
clogged by indigestion or constipation, vitiates
the blood, result pimplcs. clean stomach and
healthful digestion puries it and they disappear.
Thus joys Vegetable Sarsaparilla is compounded
after the modern idea to regulate the bowels and
stimulate the digestion. The effect is immediate
and most satisfactory. a short testimonial to
contrast the action of the potash sarsaparillas
and Joys modern vegetable preparation. Mrs.
C. d. Stuart, of 200 Hayes ST, 8. r., writes: ''I
have for years had Indigestion, I tried popular
Sarsapariua but it actually caased more pimples
to break out on my face. Hearing that Joys was
a later preparation and acted differently tried
it and the pimpies Immediately disappeared.

Gave Her Ring to Uncle Sam for Liberty.
A young lady. a gold ring and United
States patent letter box were the central
figures in little sidewalk drama en-
acted at the corner of Joyner and Chel-
sea streets, Charlestown, which was
witnessed by large and enthusiastic
audience.
A young lady in Charlestown went to
drop letter in one of the new patent
letter boxes, with the fitting lever, and
being evidently used to the old style of
box, where it is sometimes necessary, in
order that the letter be really dropped to
the bottom to push it through the slot
with the finger, she followed the missive
with her hand to be sure that it was
safely deposited. Then, satisfied that
her sacred epistle was all right, she
started to withdraw her hand, when the
ring on her finger held her hand firmly,
and all her efforts to withdraw it proved
in vain.
Some suggested that she try to pull
her finger out of the ring, but the at
tempt proved unsuccessful. Then few
excited persons favored breaking the
box with an ak, when a bright police
man appeared upon the scene, and view
ing the situation, Immediately went for
file with which to file the ring off the
finger. 1t proved impossible to get the
file into the box, and finally after half
an hour the hand was extricated minus
the ring.-Boston Cor. Chicago Herald

The Typewriter in the schools.

A suggestion that the course of in
struction in our public schools might
properly include stenography and the
use of the typewriter has brought out
the fact-not generally known before
that the city of Lynn has already intro
duced these studies in the evening
schools of Lynn-as, indeed, in those of
Boston-there have been classes in short
hand for a number of years.
Typewriting has been taught in these
schools for one year, and in the Lynn
English high school for yet longer
time. The results are said to be very
encouraging. There would seem to be
no reason why such instruction should
mot be included in the course of our
higher schools everywhere = Boston

A Tree Climbing Pic.

A curiosity has lately been shot by Mr..
LIE Mortemore. who has selection on
Tinaria creek, Queensland. He says it
is sort of tree climbing pig. For a
number of years the wild pigs have been
numerous in this locality, and his theory
is that the original or common pig must
have amalgamated to certain extent
with some aboriginal animal, or that the
necessities of climate, etc., have caused
the variety. The captured animal weighs
about 100 pounds, and is pretty fat, with
bristly brown fur, small black spots,
snout and ears like a pig, but the jaw is
furnished with front teeth like a rodent;
it has large CANNES and powerful back
grinders.
The fore feet are furnished with hook
like claws; the hind ones have two hook
claws on each hoof. The tail is thick,
about foot long, and highly prehensile,
and in state of rest is usually carried
in what is known as Flemish coil The
animal is also furnished with a pouch
which it only appears to use for carrying
supply of food in while it is travelling
to fresh pastures. The skin is saved and
will be sent to the Maryborough exhi-
bition. Mr.. LIE Mortemore says the flesh
is excellent, and that it tastes Just like
veal and ham pie. He is sure there are
plenty more about by the marks on the
trees. In drought the animal climbs
trees and hangs by its tail while it gath
ers its food by the hook claws He in
tends capturing some live specimens and
breeding from them.-Pall Mall Budget

A Freak of Science.

An English chemist who was at a
Washington hotel exhibited little mi.
crophone he had made which would
render audible the footsteps of fly. 1t
was only a small affair and consisted of
a box with a sheet of thin straw paper
stretched over the upper side. By means
of little electrical device, consisting of
tworcarbon disks, a carbon pencil and a
weak battery, the sheet of paper over
the top of the box was caused to produce
vibrations when fly walked over it
strong enough to react energetically on
an ordinary telephone transmitter when
held close to the latter.-W Washington

Ten days ago Colonel John r. Davis,
Of Mississippi, who had been resident
of the Old Mems home since year ago
last April, received stroke of paralysis
This was followed in a few days by. an
other, and then a third, which proved
fatal
The deceased was cousin of Jefferson
Davis, and during the war was the col
onel of Mississippi regiment known as
the Tigers. Colonel Davis had in his
possession the original knife constructed
for Colonel Jim Bowie, who, though a
native Kentuckian, moved to Texas and
married the daughter of Ex-Governor
Veramendi. The knife was said to have
been invented while Colonel Bowie was
confined to his bed in Natchez, suffering
from theeffects of a wound he had re-
ceiyed in border fray. He was man
of great mechanical ingenuity, and
Whitfield it out of white pine as a model
for a hunting knife, which he sent to
two brothers named Blackman, in the
city of Natchez. and told them to spare
no expense in making it. 1t was made
from large sawnil1 file and afterward
perfected by an Arkansas blacksmith.
Davis, who was young man at the
time, was present the first time the
knife, as perfected, was used in a duel,
and, as he described the scene, the par
ties cut the underbrush down and fought
to the death. The peculiar part of the
knife was that the end was poisoned, ar
operation that cost Colonel Bowie ter
dollars. Enquirer.

Sailing Over SubmafzAA Craters.
The American bark Hesper has ar
rived from Kobe, after an excellent pas
sage OF twenty-seven days, with full
cargo OF tea and graphic account of an
experience with submarine volcano,
hot sea water and sulphurous gases
Captain Sodergren states that about
6:45 a. m. on Oct. %, while laying at
anchor in Kobe, the bark received sud
den shock that caused the masts to strain
and creak. Some of the standing rig
ging snapped like piece of twine and
all hands were thrown from their feet.
The vessel pitched heavily and caused
one of the crosstrees to break from its
fastenings and fall on deck. The waters
became still an hour later and the bark
pat to sea.
EARLY ON the morning of Oct. 80, when
about seventy-five miles off the Japan
coast, the bark was almost thrown on
aer beam ends by the sudden eruption
OF n submarine volcano The water be-
came so hot that when sea was shipped
GA deck the crew took to the rigging.
The heat became so intense that the
pitch in the deck was melted and the
seams opened.
Great blasts of hot air with a strong
solphurous smell" said the captain yes
terday, ''would come up from the break
ing surface of the ocean and almost suf-
tocate US for the moment. Then the
membrane of the nostrils became irri-
sated, causing us all to have fit of
sneezing. This phenomenon lasted for
several hours. 1 have had all want of

Things some People DON'T KNOW.

The death of Horace Greeley occurred
nineteen years ago, yet every now and
then letters still come to The Tribune
Office addressed to him. Izaak Walton
died 20S years ago. A new edition of
his Complete Angler" was recently
published in Boston. The firm which
published it has received letter ad-
dressed to "Izaak Walton, ESQ.," con-
veying the information that his book is
attracting considerable attention, and
requesting, in behalf of certain bureau
of newspaper clippings" the privilege
of sending to Mr.. Walton notices of the
book from the papers of the United
States and Canadai In spite of the diffu-
sion of knowledge, there is vast deal of
ignorance in this world yet.-New York

Bees Graft a Rare Annie.

Horticulturists who have seen it say
that an apple which was picked in E. B.
Georges orchard, New Franklin, Pa,
could only have been produced by a
peculiar grating done by the bees in
the apple blossom season.
Exactly one-haf of the apple is golden
russell, like the apples that grew on the
same tree, and the other half is bright
green pippin, such variety as grew on
trees 100 yards distant. In blossoming
time a bee must have transplanted a

The Postage Stamp Nearly Sc Years Old.
The postage stamp will be ffty-two
years old in May. Its inventor was a
printer, James Chalmers, of Dundee,
Scotland, who died in 1858. England,
ffty-two years ago, introduced the new
system of prepaying letter postage, and
according to a decree of Dec. 81, 1889,
issued the first stamps. which were to be
put before the public on May of the
following year. A year later they were

Money Lost ON Dining Cars.

1T is imagined by nearly every trav-
eler who pays seventy five cents or one
dollar for meal on dining car that
the company is reaping a wonderful
harvest" said a travelling passenger
agent of one of the leading roads In
America, 'sbut the figures will soon con-
vince the most skeptical that the project
is losing one to the companies, and
every one would dispense with the din
ing car service if they only could 1t
is the great competition existing between
the different roads and the desire on the
part of the public for rapid transit that
forces the companies to place dining
cars on their through trains. All of the
great trunk line roads are putting on
faster and faster trains every few
months.
"As soon as one company puts on a
train that will cover the distance be-
tween any two important points quicker
than the other roads can, then all the
rest of the roads set to work to reduce
the time, and inside of two or three
months some other road will announce a
train that will make the distance in fif-
teen, thirty, forty-five minutes or an
hour faster than its rival And so it
goes. If any of those fast trains should
stop twenty minutes at station where a
dining hall is, then the trains with the
dining cars attached would reach the
point of destination all the way from
forty minutes to an hour earlier, and the
result would be that they would carry
the majority of the travelling public. 1t
is not cheap meals the people who travel
on railroads want SO much today as rapid
transportation. Last year the Pullman
Car company served 100000 meals on
their dining cars, and profits realized did
not pay per cent. upon the investment.
A leading western road last year lost
$36, 900 on its dining car service. To

this statute thousands of pounds of tea have
been burned because of their wholesale adul-
teIation.
Tea, by the way, is one of the most notori-
ously adulterated articles of commerce. Not
alone are the bright, shiny green teas artif-
cially colored, but thousands of pounds of
substitutes for tea leaves are used to swell
the bulk OF cheap teas; ash, sloe, and willow
leaves being those most commonly used.
Again, sweepings from tea warehouses are
colored and sold as tea. Even exhausted tea
leaves gathered from the tea-houses are kept,
dried, and made over and find their way into
the cheap teas.
The English government attempts to stamp
this out by con1scation: but no tea is too
poor for Us, and the result is, that probably
the poorest teas used by any nation are those
consumed in America

more popular with the theatre goers, for
her style of acting IS both easy and natu-

decidedly attractive. The whole troupe
is an excellent one, and while of course
the Kendals necessarily eclipsed the other
members, the play in every part was per-
formed in a highly-creditabl manner.
