QUEEN OF MADAeAscAR.
The Dusky Female Ruler Has Many Little
V2nft1es.


A member of the London Missionary
society, who once gained admittance
to the royal presence, tells me that he
was obliged to go through the entire
routine of native humble piedom on
that memorable occasion. He had to
kneel in the dust, rub his nose into the
mud and hand Ranavalona a five-franc
piece for a new pair of socks. This is
no joke. In other monarchical cOun-
tries taxes are levied for the queens
pin money; here, native and foreigner
alike are constantly asked to clothe the
royal legs in other colors than those
provided by nature. The first pair of
stockings worn by a Malayasy SOW
ere gn were bought of a French sailor.
He paid five francs for them, thati is, the
courtier in attendance to the king was
asked to do so. The operation pleased
the royal mind 1--WE know nothing of the
attendants feelings in the matter), and
as one pair of socks would not suffice,
he forthwith issued a proclamation or
dering all loyal Madagascars to open
intercourse with him or the govern
1nent hereafter by first depositing five
francs stocking money" ''Hesina," in
the native tongue.
Neither extreme poverty nor birth alb
solves a Malayasy man, woman or child
from the tax. 1t is levied on every

GOV. EVANS IS POLITIC.
Will not Appoint Policemen if the Law is
Enforced.

COLUMBIA, S. c., Jan. 3.-Gov. Evans
officially announced last night he would
not appoint policemen in the cities of the
state as he is empowered to do under an
act recently passed, SO long as the citi-
zens show disposition to enforce the
dispensary law
This determination on the part of the
governor relieves much anxiety, as it
was considered that the enforcement of
the police law would cause no end of
trouble and pro badly bloodshed.

1t is great mistake to rely upon the
mercurial and potash remedies with
which doctors usually treat blood dis
eases. 1t is also useless to take RENE
DIV which is only a tonic, and cannot
possibly touch real blood trouble.
Scrofula is stubborn and deep-seated
disease of the blood, and all of the min
eral mixtures i'll the world cannot cure
it. S. S. S., a purely vegetable conf
pound, gets at the root of the disease
al permanently rids the system of it.
1t is a real blood remedy, for real blood
diseases, and has no equal.
Here is an interesting case where the
doctors were absolutely at sea.
Mrs. Y. T. Buck is the highly esteemed
wife Of well-known and prosperous
farmer residing near Delaney, Arkansas.
For twenty-five years she has been trou-
bled with a deep-seated blood disease
that baf1led the skill of the doctors. She
says: "Some doctors called my trouble
Eczema, some Salt Rheum, and others
Scrofula, and though their treatment
continued for years, they could not cure
me. then began taking various medi-
clues, and took nearly every advertised

blood remedy. One especially which
makes such large claims for curing dis
cases Of the blood, drank by the whole
sale, but it did not seem to reach my
trouble. A celebrated specialist said
he could cure me and l paid him in adj
vance, but he filled me full of arsenic
and l became bloated and my digestion
so bad that life was misery. / then
applied to DIR. w. c. Dabney, an old
practitioner and medicine manufacturer,
who advised me to take S. S. S., saying
that one dozen bottles would cure me.
took four bottles and my body broke out
in boils and eruptions, but the doctor
told ME that these symptoms we're very
favorable, as this is the way the medi-
cine gets rid of the poison matter perna-
nently. After had used six bottles the
eruptions began to disappear, my appe-
tite improved, my digestion became sll
right, and having finished the twelve
bottles, am perfectly healthy, my skin
is clear, the capillary circulation is
good, and would not be in my former
condition for two thousand dollars"
S. S. S. never fails to cure blood
trouble. Scrofula, eczema, rheumatism,
contagious blood poison, and in fact any
disorder of the blood is promptly wiped
out and cured by it. DO not rely upon a
simple tonic to cure deep seated blood
disease but take real blood remedy.
S. S. S. has made some wonderful
cures of cancer, and we would be pleased
to send full accounts OF same to any ad-
dress. We will also mail our books on
blood and skin diseases upon applica-

Rev. Won Herilch Takes up the Note of In
dustriai Wrongs.

Rev. Won Herrlich's sermon at St.
Johns, on Sunday evening. while
orthodox burned with fires for the
wrongs of the times Taking for his
text that pathetic passage in the
Psalms which tells why the children of
Israel being in the bonds of Babylon
could not sing the song of Zion bat
hung their mute harps upon the will
lows by the rivers, he launched forth
with the declara ton that in our own
fair land the song of the Lord was
being heard no more in many places,
and that the cry of distress from un-
equal opportunities and conditions was
reaching heaven in way that must be
heard if revolution is to be averted.
The song of Mammonn has displaced
the song of the Lord in the greed of
the times, in its capital and corpora
tions, and the song of corruption and
self-seeking had became dominant in
the political life of the nation His ap-
peal in behalf of the laborer was i'm
passioned, and his denunciation of the
methods whereby hope and chance are
being crushed out of honest industry
vehement, as was his prediction of a
final reckoning truthfully prophetic.
The ''song Of the Lord must again be
heard in capital and factory, in the
country's commerce, in its municipal
life, in its newspapers, that song of the
brotherhood of man and the father
hood of God, if we would escape a
retribution written in blood. In men
tioning the lives of eminent statesmen
in which the ''song OF the Lord was
constant, ne paid a spledid tribute to
the Christian character of eX-President
Harrison. The sermon dealt with
momen tuous problems, was true in
spirit. and boldly uttered and taken as
whole an intense reflection of the
most perplexing problem now confront
ing the American people.
