Beware
OF the Knife.

Mr.. Lincoln Nelson, of Marshfield, Mo-,
writes: "For six years have been a
sufferer from a scrofulous affection of
the glands of my neck, and all efforts
of physicians in Washington, d. c.,
Springfield, ILL.,, and ST. Louis failed to
reduce the enlargement. After six
months constant treatment here, my
physician urged me to submit to a re-
moval of the gland. Atthis critical mo-
ment a friend recommended S.S.S.,
and laying aside a deep-rooted preju-
dice against all patent medicines, be-
gan its use. Before had used one bot
tie the enlargement began to disappear,
and now it is entirely gone, though am
not through with my second bottle yet.
Had l only used your SIS. long ago,
would have escaped years of misery
and saved over $3.50"
This experience is like that of all who
suffer with deep-seated blood troubles.
The doctors can do no good, and even
their resorts to the knife prove either
fruitless or fatal. SIS. is the only
real blood remedy; it gets at the root of
the disease and forces it out perna-
nently.

Eskimo Astronomy.

The polar inhabitants Of the north

have definite but limited ideas Of as
tronomy. In writing Of them Peary
says that they recognize the Great
Dipper' as a herd Of reindeer; the
three triangular stars of Cassiopea are
the three stones supporting a celestial
stone lamp; the Pleiades are a team
of dogs in pursuit Of a bear; the three
glittering brilliants In the belt Of Orion
are the steps cut by some celestial
Eskimo in a steep snow-bank to enable
uim to climb to the top.
demlnl are two stones In the entrance
10 an igloo; Arcturus and Aldebaran

lover.
These Eskimos estimate time by thu

The position Of the sun and yet, less
oDseryant than were the Arab shep-
nerds, they have not noticed that one
star Is the center about which all the
Others move, mol have they set apart

painter can picture the halo of deep an.
tiQuity hanging over the city. The sol
emnity of Its age, the grandeur Of Its as
socistions, cut a niche in the memory
which time does not efface. 1t is the ideal
city Of all others for the celebration OF
the Easter festival. Christ stood upon
the hill Of Calvary 1853 years ago and
looked down upon the town where he had
labored and been betrayed. That was the
first Easter morning, and since then,
every year, kind and loving hands, repre-
senting countless generations of all times,
all creeds and all races, have left some
token In honor of the day at the numer
ous places made sacred by His presence.
On Easter day the reputed tomb OF
Christ In the Church Of the Holy Sepul-
chre Is covered with the lilies which are
used all over the world. The Mount Of
Calvary is visited by the Christian popu.
lation of the town and the members Of
the various religious orders inhahitng 1t,
and flowers are strewn upon the spot
where the cross Is supposed 10 have stood.
Ths archways under Which Christ walked
on the morning Of the Crusiixlon. and
which are now standing and may stand
for another 1000 years, are visited and
pointed out to the small children and
thelr histories told, Teaching the events
Of Eastertime to the young OF Jerusalem
Is an easy matter. Actualiies are there.
and they can be seen for the trouble OF
booking.
The city itself Is not greatly changed
from the times when Christ visited 1t. AT
the Gate Of Joppa there are always masses

same strange, weird Jerusalem-a place
redolent of antiquities, a city teemfng
with memories Of the men and women OF
the Bible. A wonderful place, with the
power to stir the emotions of q man Of
stone.
Above all is the "Place of the Skull" az
1t was called In the earthly days of Christ,
known now as Mount Calvary. From the
famous Gate of Joppa it can be seen. and
il we knew its ancient lame 1t would
speedily be recognized. 1t Is a hill shaped
like the human skull, and just beneath
what might be called its forehead are two
cavernous spots which at a distance re-

Now the place is beautifully adorned

monks. There are innumerable beds oil

Judas Iscariot, and a small rock shows
the place where the three disciples. Feter
James and John, slept during their Mas
ters agony.
The Church of the Holy Sepulchre occu'
pies the space surrounding the tomb OF
Christ. This ancient ediice was begun by
the crusaders in 11S0 A. d., and it was
largely added to at subsequent times. 1t
forms Il vast pile of masonry now, and
looking at it, 1t becomes difficult to be-
lieve that it was 1868 years ago that
Christ arose and stepped into the open air.

Every true prayer begins with a right

Private Zach Dowty belonged to q
New Orleans cavalry company attach

scribed by the New Orleans Times
Democrat as "a genial, open-hearted,
h-arum-scarum fellow, who was the life
of the camp, foremost 10 all schemes Of
fun, and always ready for duty" Such
men always have plenty of adventures
to relate, and Private Dowty was no ex.
ception to the rule. One of the best Of
his stories, one that he used often to
tell, was of an incident that happened
while on duty at Gen. Johnston's head.
quarters.
1t was a dull time, and he was pass
ing the forenoon in repairing his sad.
die and brushing up his equipments
generally. While. thus engaged, he
heard the approach of footsteps, and
saw through the corner of his eye what
appeared to him to be a wellto-do
Tennessee farmer, dressed In a gray
suit, and wearing a broad-brimmed
SLOUGH hat. The stranger stopped, and
inquired for the headquarters of Gen
Johnston.
Zach was Just then Juggling at the
straps Of his saddle, and after a mo-
ment answered grufly:
Here they are"
The stranger, In q quiet tone, asked
II Gen. Johnston was in, and getting no
answer-Zach being at the moment abb
sorbed in his work-repeated the ques-
ton. That made Zach n little impa.
tent.
"Yes." he answered, shortly, "but you
can't e him.
All this time Zach had not looked al
the stranger, but was nov startled by
hearing him say In a zone of command:
Courier, tell Gen. Johnston that
President Davis desires to see him."
The amateur saddler looked up, and
sure enough, there stood the President
Of the Southern ~Confederacy.

way, sir" and he FASTENED on before
Mr.. Davis into Gen. Johnston's pres
ence, and then made a hasty exit as
best he could.
1t was bad business, he thought, and
he FASTENED to his captain and played
sick, so as to have some one else de-
tailed to take his place at headquar-
tiers. He kept out of sight till the wis.,
ltor had gone, and was greatly relieved
when 1t became apparent that President
Davis had made no complaint to Gen.
Johnston about the rude treatment he
had received.
