The explanation is simple. 1t is found in
that impure blood which is contin-
ually feeding the nerves upon refuse
instead of the elements of strength and

nerve compounds simply deaden and
do not cure. Hoods Sarsaparilla feeds

Safely Home

In the early days of America, win
dow-glass, being expensive, was often
carried long distance with great care.
The story is told in "Old Times on the
Saco' of settler who built log house,
and after moving his family in, went
to GERMANTOWN to purchase twelve
lights of seven.by-nine gle: for the two
small windows, This was well tied in
n large handkerchief, and he started on
his return.
He selected even places for his feet
at every step, and avoided all possible
obstacles; thus he moved slowly home
ward. All went well until he reached
his own dooryard. AS he approached
the house, he saw his wife standing in
the doorway, and shouted:
well, Sally, I've got my glass homer
Alas! his attention had been divert
ed; he caught his foot in small bush
by the path, and fell headlong Quick
as thought, he raised his hand high to
shield the glass, but 1t came down with
full swing upon fiat stone, and was
broken into fragments, Then and
there he registered vow that he would
never look through glass In that house,
and he kept his word
IF I'd fell halfway to GERMANTOWN"
he said, II wouldn't ha' keered but IT
seemed to everlastin' bad to go down
and smash t right off agin my own
door,

Walled In,

About twelve months since there was
a good deal of talk about the walled
in people Of Montmartre. Now case
Of the same kind has happened on the
Avenue de Saint-Ouen, near the forti-
fications. The landlord, being unable
to obtain any rent from three women
who lived together, gave them notice
to quit. They refused to obey the In
junction, so he had wall built around
the door leading to the miserable room
where the needy tenants resided. Ac-
cordingly the women. were forced to
climb out Of window, at the risk of
breaking their limbs; but some of
their neighbors demonstrated with the
landlord, who agreed to demolish the
wall, on the condition that the unprof-
liable trio should leave his premises

skirt with never a suspicion Of mas
culinity about It
The divided skirt comes in two va
rieties, thus making up the four men
toned at the beginning. These are the
regulation Jenness Miller skirt, and the
one that is only divided In the back.
The latter style is the special prop
erty of a large New York store, and has
many qualities in It's favor. Off the
wheel 1t hangs like an ordinary skirt,
and on the wheel 1t stays put In exactly
the same folds each time, being cut and
fashioned to fit the saddle. In the front
this skirt usually has broad box pleat
to admit Of the free action Of the knees
while pedaling. Some Of these bicycle
skirts are surprisingly full around the
bottom, being stitched down In box
pleats from the top, and then allowed
to fare for about fourteen inches.
The girl who rides diamond frame
gets no advantage from this Louis
skirt. as 1t Is called, because of the I'M
divided front. Nothing but boomers
or wholly divided skirts will serve her.
One can buy boomers just like pair

brown and white being the fashionable
as well as the serviceable colors. Whip
cords, chevlots, brilliantines and cordu-
roys are also popular. Mrs. Langtry
wears a corduroy suit with leggings Of
the same. Some of the prettiest cordu-
roy suits are double breasted, and but
ton up diagonally to each shoulder.
This style is more sensible than the
Eton Jacket, which flares open and
catches the wind. The Norfolk jacket
is very popular because, besides being
well adapted to the use for which II is
intended, 1t affords such good oportuni-
ty for the display of the new belts
which are so pretty and so plenty this
year.
Leggings usually match the suit with
which they are worn, but they can be
bought separately in any material de-
sired. Most of them are buttoned up
on the outside. Others lace up part
way and are then fastened with Foster
hooks, with a couple of straps at the
top. 1t seems to be the general verdict.
however, that knee shoes are preferable
to leggings and low shoes. AS to hats.
the public favor is divided between the
Alpine hat and the Tam OShanter.

high rank among the things which we

by the way a man with plenty of
