PhysicianS Have Found Cut

That a cotaminating and foreign
element In the blood, developed by
indigestion, Is the cause OF rheum-
atism. This settles upon the sensi-
tive sub.cutaneous covering OF the
muscles and ligaments of the joints,
causing constant and shifting pain,
and aggregating as calcareous,
chalky deposit, which produces stiff
ness and distortion of the joints.
No fact, which experience has dem
onstrated in regard to Hostetters
Stomach Bitters, has stronger evil
dence to support than this, namely,
that this medicine Of comprehen-
sve uses, checks the formidable and
atrocious disease nor is 1t less posi-
lively established that IL Is prefera
bic to the poisons often used to ar
rest Il, since the medicine contains
only salutary ingredients. II Is also

Frozen Seas of the South.

There is living at Oxford, Nd,
Thomas Sinclair, seaman, q survivor
and perhaps the only one, of the cele-
brated Wilkes exploring expedition
when the so-called Antartic continent
was discovered, says writer in the
Globe-Democrat. Captain Wilkes,
United States navy, sailed from Nor
folk, Va, August 1S, 1888, in com.
mand of squadron of five vessels and
a storeship, to explore the southern
seas. Sinclair was one of his men.
The expedition visited Madeira, Cape
Verd, Terra del Fuego, the Hawaiian
Islands, the Samoan group and Austria.
lia. December, 1889, Captain Wilkes
left Sydney and sailed toward the
south pole and discovered what has
been called the Antarctic Continent,
as it appears even today on the maps.
For several weeks he sailed along
vast ice fields. Landings were made
at several places during this period,
and Seaman Sinclair was one of the
men who manned the boats, and actu-
ally trod upon the icy fields of the
Antarctic Continent. They were not
prepared to make any attempt to ex-
plore this ice tract in the direction of
the pole. The expedition did much
other exploring. 1t was gone nearly
four years, arriving at New York
June 10, 1912. Mr.. Sinclair was with
the expedition all these years, and has
many "reminiscences of the voyage, or
series of voyages, and stories which
never got into the books. He speaks
of Captain Wilkes as very able COM
mander and very strict discipline
rian. As a rule, he was better liked
by the men than by the officers. In
deed, after his return he was court
martialed on charges preferred by
some of his officers, but he was ac-
quilted all except for illegally punish
ing some of his crew, for which he
was reprimanded. Mr.. Sinclair is
considerably over eighty years old.
His memory is first-rate, and his mind
strong and clear. He suffers much
from rheumatism and other ailments
of old age, due to the exposure he
underwent when with Captain Wilkes

A Remedy Against Flies.

81 never use window Screens" said
a wise housekeeper the other day,
"because l have a fancy that they
shut out all the air in hot weather,
and, beside, they serve to keep the
flies In the house equally as well as to
keep them out.
''But l never sec fly in your
house." said her friend. elbow do
you manage it? For my part, L must
confess, that screens or no screens,
my summer means to me one long
battle with the little pests.
"My remedy is very simple one"
said the good housekeeper, "and l
learned it years ago from my grand
mother, when 1 used to watch her
putting punches of lavender flowers
around to keep the flies away. My
method is simpler. I buy five cents
worth OF oil of lavender at the drug
store and mix it with the same guam
tity of water. Then I put it in com
mon glass automixer and spray it
around the rooms wherever flies are
apt to congregate, especially in the
dining-room, whore sprinkle it plen-
tifully over the table linen. The
odor is very disagreeable to flies and
they will never venture in its neigh
borhood though to most people it has
peculiarly fresh add grateful smell. "

Enabled Her to Take the Oath,

In case before Paris court in
which popular actress has had to ap-
pear as witness the judge seems to
have shown considerable diffidence
about asking the lady, as he was in
duty bound to do, what was her age.
Evidently he considered that such a
question put to a witness would be a
direct Indictment to perjury, so he
asked her her age before she had been
sworn.
Glow old are you, ma'am?" he
said.
After a little hesitation the lady
owned to being 80 years of age.
"And now that you have given the
court your age," continued the gallant
Judge, "you swear to tell the truth,
the whole truth, and nothing but the
truth"

A Bird Imprisoned in a Flower.

A lady of New Orleans relates that
some days since the first humming
bird of the season made its appear
ance in her garden, slipping indis-
criminately from the wealth of sweets.
Late in the afternoon she observed
the little fellow lowering around a
spike of annunciation lilies which had
shot up perfectly laden with bells.
The next morning early when she went
out for stroll through the garden
she heard futtering and faint cheep-
ing from the neighborhood of the lily
bed. For some time she could see
nothing to account for the faint
sounds, but at last was astonished to
discover that one of the lily bells had
closed its petals, imprisoning the hum
ming bird within. 1t is probable that
the bird had buried its beak too far
in and extracted so much honey as to
cause the already fading flower to col
lapse suddenly, thus holding the little
fellow close bound all night long. =

And this old world Is growing brighter!
We NAV not see its dawn sublime,
Yet high hopes make the heart throb

When it awakes the world to wonder:
fut we have felt it gathering round
Have heard its voice of distant thunder!

,Tis coming now, that glorious time
Foretold by seers and sung in story,
For which, when thinking was crime.

wrought!
Now the crowded hope of centuries bios

The lightning of their living thought
Is flashing through US. brain and BOSOM:

Creeds, empires systems. rot with age,
But the great peoples ever youthful!
And it shall write the future page
To our humanity more truthful;
There's divinity within
That makes men great if they but will it'll
God works with all who care to win,
And the time cometh to reveal it.
'Tis coming! Yes, It's comingl

Dear, heaven connecting link of being;
Then shall we grasp thy golden dream,
As souls, full-statured, grow far-seeing:

And in our life-cup yield more honey;
Light up with Joy the poor mans heart;
And loves own world with smiles more,

Lon Bishop, of Searsburg, VT, is q
singularly fortunate man. He has an
assured annual income for merely sit
ting around and letting himself grow.
When he was but young man he be-
gan to let his hair grow winters to
keep his ears warm in the woods.
Observe the result. After several
years of letting himself grow thus he
discovered there was demand for
himself. Young women. who didn't
know what was the matter with their
hair, single women of advancing
years, who had reached the sad moult-
ing period of life, elderly married
women, whose husbands considerably
cheered their way in the sacred family
circle by telling them that they were
getting immodestly bald-all these
sought clandestine rendezvous with
Alonzo and whispered their vague,
hidden wants into his willing ear. He
soon found in this way select line of
personal customers for his product
and no questions asked. And now for
years yelled women have come up to
the mountain home throughout the
year and bought off the fleece. They
know what they are getting. SO every
July Alonzo goes down to some town
at the foot of the mountain for his an
nual hair harvest, and comes back
again shorn, with little newspaper
bundle. 1t is beautiful crop, thick
and soft and black. and fully foot in
length, all twisted up into heavy ma
tural curls. One year, he says, he got
as much as $45 for his hair, and $45 is
a good slice of the years expenses in

A Man.Of-War to Fight Ice.

y
trail, whose northern Michigan road
runs to Mackinaw City, has been en-
gagged to fight with the ice across the
Straits of Mackinac to st. Ignace,
where connections are made with
railroads into the Upper Peninsula.
For some time the Michigan Central
had an ordinary ferryboat, the Algo-
ma, in service at the straits. Then 1T
built the st. Ignace, which was sup
posed to be able to fight its way
through any kind of ice. But the st.
Ignace, like the Algoma, was occa-
sionally bested in these conflicts. The
ice would get too thick and too hard
for the steamer to force its way
through. In consequence, traffic be-
tween the two peninsulas would be in
terrupted for week at time. Two
years ago an iceboat, which was the
result of dozen years of experience,
Wdb COuBtT uCttu dU DcbIolp ~ ""o
called the st. Marie and consisted
mainly of solid oak, engines and room
for dozen freight cars. There was
a wheel at the bow, two at the stern,
and enough power to have equipped
two ordinary lake vessels. In appear
ance the ferry resembles an iron-clad
man. of-war. AS yet no ice has been
encountered which the st. Marie can
not drive clear through. Nowhere on
the lakes does the ice become heavier
than in the straits. Into that land
locked passage of water southwest
winds drive the vast fields of ice from
Lake Michigan and pile them up in
windrows until they lie in solid bodies
from fifteen to twenty feet in thick
ness. The current through the Straits
of Mackinac, which southwest winds
invariably cause, pushes these wind
rows together with resistless force
and by the middle of winter the
straits become one vast body of ice.
1t is said that the problem of ice navi-
cation has been fully solved in the
st. Marie, and it could force its way
through any kind of ice, regardless of
wind or weather. The hull of the
boat, particularly the bow, Is some
what of a curiosity. The heavy oak
frames are set so close together that
they practically form one piece. Out
side of this is coating of heavy
steel plates, and it simply is impossi-
BILE for ice to make any impression
upon the hull, regardless of its firm
ness. This boat is said to be the first
successful iceboat ever built in the
world. Chicago Tribune.

Furnished the Nest Himself.

A prominent merchant of this city,
who has a country seat near Bristol,
began some time ago to raise fine
breeds of chickens, Plymouth Rocks
and the like. He was very successful
and his henneries are the admiration
of the entire countryside. A short
time ago, a carpenter, who lived in
the neighborhood and who had done
considerable work for the owner of
the farm, asked him for the loan of
one of his best setting hens. '1ve
got about dozen eggs, ''the carpenter
said, "and l want to hatch them. If
you will lend me the hen l will be
very careful of her." The hen was
very generously loaned and the owner
forgot all about her until nearly a
month later. Then he went to the
manager of his farm and asked if the
hen had been returned. "You don't
mean to tell me that you loaned a hen
to that MANI" eyes" said the pro-
prietor, she said he wanted to set her
on dozen eggs he had" "Well,
You'll never get her back" "Why?"
because 1 happen to know that he
stole from you the eggs he put under
the borrowed hen. "-Philadelphia
