But like many other buoy men, MI.
LeSeur was overtaken by Rheumatism
and scon his strength gave way to a
condition of he1plessness. This dread
disease produces more agony, he says,
than can we'll be described. For
years I have suffered with Sciatic
Rheumatism and often felt as if a
small piece of my spine had been
taken out, also as if a fragment of
bombshe11 had passed through my left
hip When / would sit down, l could
not straighten UP for several minutes,
and then only at the expense of great
pain. 1 could get absolutely no relief,
though many remedies were tried.
Someone recommended S. S.. S. and I
was almost in despair when I began its
use. In three days, however, I was
SO greatly relieved that I felt very
little inconvenience from the rheuna-
tism. The disease grew less painful
Dor disappeared entirely. S. S. S.
also proved to be a fine tonic, as I now
have more appetite, and feel better
than yer before, in my life. 1 cannot
say too much in praise of S. S. S."
Rheumatism is a condition of the
blood which has always baf1ed the
doctors, and it is a popularity hat
those who once have it are sure to al
ways be subject to its attacks from
time to time. The reason of this is
that the doctors are only able to give
temporary relief, but cannot rid the
system of the disease permanently.

What Burns Did.

'It was In Perth" a traveller writes,
that, puzzling over a grimy statue, I
was ~accosted by a barefooted newsboy.
with his raucous cry of 'Hair-r-ald,
Glasgow Hair-r-ald!' III take one,
quoth 1, if you'll tell me whose statue
that is ''Tis Rabbie Burns replied
he, on the nail. Thank you, said 1,
taking the paper. And what did he do
to deserve the statue?' My newsboy
scratched his head. Perceiving his en-
barrassment, a party of his friends
down the street called out in stentorian
chorus: 'Ay, it's Rabbie Burns But
what did he do to deserve the statue?'
I Numbered back. They hung their
heads. At last my newsboy recovered
himself; his face frightened. We'll,
said I again, what did he do to deserve
this statue?' He deedT answered the
Intelligent little man."

CRlPPLES WERE HEALED.

An Amusing Incident o. Semi-Savace
Rule In Hawaii.
Judge Austin of Hilo relates some in
ten ssting experiences of his own while
secretary to Princess Ruth in 1854. At
that time she was the g%overness of
Hawaii.
He had been appointed secretary,
says the Pacific Commercial Advertiser,
but with orders from Kamehameha Ill,
that Keelikolani should never inter
fere with his work. In that year there
was a large gathering of the natives at
Kailua, commanded to assemble by her
In order to explain to the people the
tax laws and to enforce the payment of
taxes. A large lanai was provided, in
which the meeting took place, and she
proposed to address them.
It was the unvritten law that The
very old and ~infir1n, all cripples and in
curables should be exempt from taxa
ton. The natives were unwilling to
pay taxes, 80 they prepared for the
meeting.
Mary who were young men and in the
best physical condition came in, APP
pearing TIC be doubled up with dis
ease. Many used stats and walked
with trembling steps. Some walked
slowly, coughing at every step. Some
held up a leg and appeared TO be
cripples. One enterprising native ap-
pearcd on a stretcher, carried by four
of his companions. When the assembly
opened it appeared like a hospital,
without a well person in it, and it num-
bered several hundred. The princess
made a brief address and wa followed
by her secretary, Judge Austin, who
told them that all present would have
to pay taxes, as there was nothing tho
matter with them.
At once there was a commotion. The
men who were doubled up Strengthened
themselves out. The coughing stopped.
The men with ''game"legs moved about
quickly. The man who came in on a
stretcher got up and made a speech to
the crowd, showing hat he had a very
poor opinion of the government. Tho
stats were flung aside. In a few mo-
ments a fine, stalwart body of men
were seen taking the mountain road
and moving off with perfect ease, and

BAD START FOR M,KINLEY.

Major Mckinley, in his speech
of acceptance, said that under the
operation of the Republican
policy of high protection. the
country bought more goods at
home and sold more abroad" than
under the present reduced tariff.
One would think that a politi-
clan occupying his present posi-
ton would be very careful of his
statements and sure of their cor
RICHNESS. Evidently he mas not
done so.
Figures furnished by the bur
eau of statistics of the United
States show that for the nine
months ending on the LIST OF
April last the exports of the
manufactured goods of this
country amounted in value to
$163, 1877, 926, being 1857 per
cent of the entire exports. At
the rate for the remaining three
months of the present year, the
exports of manufactured goods
would amount to 1908, 964, 9o7. In
no previous year had the exports
of our manufactures amounted to
so great a sum in value; and it
should be borne in mind that on
account of the reduced cost of
such goods attributable in great
part to the reductions of duties
on raw materials by the new
tariff it required a larger bulk
to make this sum in value. In
the fiscal year 1891 the exports
of domestic manufactures were
only $168, 927. 315, or 1887 per
dten of all exports of merchan>
else; in 1892 they we're only
S158, $40, 937, or 1851 per cent.
and in 1898, 1888, 718, 464. or 21.--
"a per cent.
AS the Atlanta Journal says. if
the political campaign of this
year is to be zone of education"
as Republican leaders tell US,
care should be taken to have
for it's rudiments, not reckless
assertions due to ignorance or
design; and surely the presiden-
tial nominee of the party should
not be the principal of a school
of error or deception.
