Questions Of Health.

The popular notion that an athlete,
because Of his athleticism, is healthy
man is a delusive one. Muscular devel-
opment is not an affair of the constitu-
ton. 1t is an accident. Strong limbs
and weak heart are not infrequently
associates. Many "strong man" dies
prematurely of consumption. If health
may be defined as q capacity for holding
ON to life. then, in many cases, the
weaklings are the healthiest.
If such u definition is accurate, wom-
en- are healthier than men. Their aver
age length of days is greater than ours.
But it is doubtful if centenarians, mere
~ because they are centenarians, are the
healthiest. I knew a case of a woman
who recently died at the age of 105 who
was slightly paralyzed, even as a child,
and who was practically completely so
for more than 20 years. Could such a
one have ever been correctly described
as healthy? 1t is as hard to say what life
is as to say what health il, and the way
in which unhealthy folks are tenacious
of life is not the least of the marvels.

srAMeuLoFF,s SPIRIT.
Called the Bismarek Of the Bellans Be-
eanse Of His Courage.

Called the BfsmArek Of the Ballano Be-
cause Of His Courage.
The late n. Stambuloff, ex-premier
Of Bulgaria, used to be called 1.-THE
Bismarck Of the Balkans. One of his
most dramatic passages with Russia
occurred during the war with Servia.
Prince Alexander had gone out to lead
the Bulgarian army in person, leaving
NJ. Stambulon in charge at home. It
was clear day, with not q breath of
air stirring, and the roar Of the cannon
was plainly heard in the city. M.
StambuoM thought the Servians were
winning the day. In their anxiety the
Bulgarian ministers applied to the Rus
sian diplomatic agent for advice. That
gentleman shrugged his shoulders and
said It was no affair Of his.
"But, |" urged the Bulgarian minis
ters, 1.-THE Servians are almost at our
gates. You could stop them with q sin
gle word, if you would" "Yes, but
that word will not be spoken. On one
condition only will I stop them, and
that is that your beggar Of a prince
shall abdicate at once" "And that"
Numbered NJ. Stambulon, che will
not do No, not for 20 Russias!''
With that N. Stambuloff sprang into
the saddle and dashed away to the bat
tlefield, while the Russian agent sent
to his friends to come to his house to
celebrate the defeat Of the Bulgarian
armies. A few hours passed, and then
the Bulgarian foreign minister got
telegram from NJ. Stambuloff, dated
on the field Of battle, telling Of Prince
Alexander's magnificent victory and Of
the utter rout Of the Servians. He hur-
ried with it to the house Of the Russian
agent, arriving there in the midst of
the festivities. And when he told the
news the representative of the car, it
is said, ground his teeth in rage.-West-

Caffeine. the active principle of coffee,
was discovered by Runge in 1920. In a
pure state it takes the form of long silky
needles. In ordinaw'coHee it is present
to the extent of about per cent, but
Java coffee contains A, and Marti-
nique has as much as g.. 4. 1t is said by
some chemists that caffeine in its essen.

the inferior qualities of tea contain more
caffeine than the best commercial grades

Your Blood Travels Through
Your Body in Two Con-
tinuous Streams.

Blood is made BY your digestive
organs.
Your heart pumps it all over your
body. So
1t contains food. heat and nour-
ishment, which it gives out as it goes
along.
This is the first stream.
1t 10 rich. red, bright, and runs
through blood vessels called carter
ies."
When it has given out all its food
and life. it takes up in return all the
waste matter it can collect, and
starts back to where it came from.
This is the second stream.
1t is dark colored, unhealthy. poi
sonous. 1t runs through blood YES
sells called "veins.''
It takes the shortest cut to your
kidneys, for your kidneys are wait
ing to filter it.
When it reaches them, they filter
out all poisonous matter. and expel
the poison from your body.
Then the blood goes on to the liver
and lungs to get fresh food and heat,
after which it begins its journey all
over again.
BUT:
When the kidneys don't filter the
blood, it passes on just the same. and
then, instead of leaving food and life
wherever it passes, it leaves behind
it poison and disease.
This is what makes US sick: I'm
pure blood.
This is what makes impure blood:
Sick kidneys.
So long as the kidneys are well,
they will filter the blood.
When they are sick they can't, and
that is the long and short of it.
So that. when your kidneys are
sick, or when you have rheumatism.

two districts and five additional dele

pie concede THE senator 16 votes. Never
before in the history of the Republican
party in this city has there been such
a fight in the primaries The result was
In some respects a surprise to Senator
Quay himself, who did not expect to
overcome the influence that would be
brought TO bear against him in certain
localities
Tonlght's contest practically closes the
fight In the state. 1t appears almost
certain that Senator Quay has won his
fight for the state Craftsmanship with
some votes to spare. A conservative en-
inmate gives him 160 votes In the con-
vention, Is more than the number neces-
sary ITO elect.

RESULT NOT SATISFACTORY

New York, August 2O.-The first formal
trial race between THE Defender and the
Vigilant to give the Americas cup COM
mittee an opportunity to decide which
boat should be the one to defend the
cup, was held today outside Of Sandy
Hook in the same waters that the cup
race will tal0e place in, but ended very
enthusiastically.
The yachts raced not only to give the
committee a line on them but also for
the cup that John Jacob Astor offered to
the winner of them ajorlty of races that
the committee should order. The win
ner of the cup, however, viii not neces-
sarlly be the Defender of Americas cup.
One boat might beat the other three times
straight and yet the Americas cup COM
mittee will have the absolute power and
discretion in picking the defender. The
committee might ignore these trial races
altogether If they so choose to do 1t is
believed by yachtsmen that the commit
tee ordered the trial races more in the
hope that they would see the Defender In
a good stiff breeze, II not hard wind,
a condition Of things in which she has
not had the opportunity Of displaying
her power.
They came very near having the de-
sired view today, but they were forestall-
ed by an accident that prevented the De-
fender from really showing what she
could do In a breeze that went over the
water probably at the rate of 20 knots
an hour. The breeze stirred up her rig
ging so much and played such havoc
among 1t that it looks 10 be loosened TO
material extent up toward the mast
head and caused such damage that the
Defender had to Withdraw or take a lib
eral chance at carrying away her top
mast. 1t was afterwards found that the
slackenlng up Of the rigging was so ex-
tensive that THE yacht would not be able
to compete in the second trial race for
week. The committee decided tonight
that the next two trial races would take
place on Tuesday and Wednesday next
week.
1t Is a mystery to yachtsmen, especial
ly those who have given the closest at
tention to the rigging of boats, why the
Defenders stays weakened under a
breeze which enabled her 10 still carry

GOLD RESERVE.

| Washington, August 2O.-The gold syn
dicate today prevented the gold reserve
| from falling below the 100000 900 mark
| About 2 o'clock the treasury department
was informed that $2,850,0OO in gold had
been Withdrawn for export from the SUBJ
treasury in New York. AS the gold re-
serve at the close of business today stood
at $102, ,5N, ,146 the withdrawal would have
reduced the reserve to $99,6I7,149. A few
minutes after'ward, however, Acting Sec
retary Curtis received telegram saying
that j. Pierpont Morgan, Of the syndi-
cate, had deposited $1,000 900 in gold in
exchange for greenbacks. This deposit
swelled the reserve to s101, ,e77,14S. Off
cials at the treasury department display
no apprehension as to the gold reserve,
and intimate that the syndicate will con-
tinue to make deposits to offset the with
drawals But they decline to cypress
their reasons for the belief.
The question raised constantly Is as
to the pledge under which the syndicate
Is making these deposits and the period
covered as well as the ability Of the
syndicate TO continue ito protect the re-
serve. But little light can be shed on
this question, however, as 1t is said that
probably only two government officials,
President Cleveland aud Secretary Car
hsle, know tine unwritten part of the
agreement made by the syndicate which
secured THE last issue Of bonds. The
syndicate has so far voluntarily depos-
ited about $S,O0OOOO in gold. The manner
in which the syndicate has accumulated
the gold which 1t has voluntarily ex-
changed alt THE treasury department for
greenbacks is not absolutely known. The
syndicate does not make public its op-
enations but at the treasury 1T is be-
heved that most of 1t is obtained by
giving exchange on San Francisco and
by buying bullion checks. The circula-
zion of San Francisco is practically all
gold.
