Beware Of the Knife.

MT. Lincoln Nelson, of Marshfeld, 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, l be- gan its use. Before I 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 I only used your S.S.S. long ago, would have escaped years of misery and saved over $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. S.S.S. is the only real blood remedy; it gets at the root of the disease and forces 1t out perma- nent1y.

Wind and Sound.

The means by which wind may be measured by its sound is a novelty in modern scientific research to which the attention of the National Academy of Sciences has been drawn by Professor Barus. He asserts that the whistling of the wind as it crosses Q wire varies with the velocity, and that this can be com puted from the pitch of the note ob- served in case of a given diameter of wire and for a given air temperature. A special micrometer attachment can be made to convey the sound, isolated from other noises, to the observer at a dis tance. Thus every gust and variation of the wind can be studied ill this way, and an idea of the actual direction of the gust can be had by means of the sounds obtained from three wires placed at right angles to one another.

sIOO REWARD, s1OO.

The readers of this paper will be pleased to learn that there is at least one dreaded disease that science has been able to in all its stages and that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure is the only positive cure now known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh being a constitutional dis ease. requires a constitutional treament. Halls Catarrh Cure is ken internally, acting directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the system, thereby destroying the foundation of the disease, and giving the patient strength by building up the constitution and assisting nature in doing its work. The proprietors have so much faith in its curative powers that they offer One Hundred Dollars for any case that it fails to cure. Send for list or Testimonials.

It Takes Nine TaiIors to Make Man

Curran, the famous orator and wit, never hesitated to sacrifice his friends for the sake of joke. On one occasion the Merchant Tailors' Guild of Dublin gave a banquet, to which he was in- vited; in fact, he was the guest of honor. He kept his hosts amused all evening. There were just eighteen of his enter tainers, and when Curran took his leave he waited till he reached the door, then with a smile and bow said: "And now, gentlemen, have the honor of saying goodnight to both of you" He made his escape before the eighteen tailors realized the joke and then 1t was too late to catch him.

Comradeship Among Workers


 The Century, in an editorial recOgniz ing ',The Workingman's Support of h. ternational Arbitration" says:
 The demand for arbitration has been made with most emphasis where the workingmen are most thoroughly uni ted for other purposes. In England, where trades unions are at their best, the peace movement among working men Is strongest; and in our own East ern States 1t Is very strong. The strength of the demand itself grows in proportion as the contest over wages, for which trades unions are primarily formed, becomes active. There Is clearly a connection between these phenomena. This connection 1t finds IF what is described by the words ''sol- idarity of labor''-tEe creation of con- radeship among the workers of all countries. The injury of war to the la- boring man, and his recognition of that fact, both come in for consideration.

A Terrible Ride.
From the Eveninq Times, Buffalo, ". '.

From the EUening Times, BufdlO, ". r.
 Along one of the dismal roads ii Western New York, man and wife were driving as rapidly as the dark. ness. and inclement weather would permit.
 The rain beat down upon the rubber covering and found its way into every crack and opening.
 The occupants of the buggy were Dean Jones and his wife, of Spring vile. N. Y. Everybody is familiar with the name. He is the we'll known starting judge, who has become famous for his impartial and fair treatment of jockeys at the post.
 It was about ten years ago when MT. and Mrs. Jones took that fateful ride that came near costing her her life.
 Mrs. Jones' clothes were thoroughly soaked before town was reached. There was no fire in their hotel room and she became chilled to the bone before the little blaze, the attendant started, warmed the atmosphere.
 From that time on Mrs. Jones was an ill woman.
 Her trouble-well it was about everything with which human flesh can be afflicted. She had strange, queer ceiling in her head, that felt as ii several shot were rolling around loose on her brain. Pen cannot de- Soriho tho fOTt,, ro cbo c,, Go,o5 Tooo1 doctors told her she had water on the brain.
 A Times reporter called upon Mrs. Jones, who said:
 'Ever since that terrible wetting I received, up to a year ago, was an invalid. I had terrible neuralgia pains in the head which often went to my feet and limbs. I was often in such terrible state that had to use a crutch to get around or else slide chair before me to move about the house. I was very ill for five years, in spells, and never expected to get well. It was blood disease guess. One of the doctors I consulted said had clotted blood in my head, and perhaps I did. He could not cure me, neither could several other doctors I tried. I also used many patent medicines, but they did me no good.
 My complexion was a perfect white, and my ears were so transparent you could look through them. My blood was turning to water.
 Look at me now, do I look sick ?'
 The reporter was forced to admit that he had seldom seen a more per- feet embodiment of health.
 With pardonable pride Mrs. Jones said, "Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People did it.
 "I can go anywhere now, while be- fore I commenced using Dr. Williams remedy could not move out of the house.
 "For three years, would you believe it, l did not even go to church. I was not always confined to my bed, but could not leave the house.
 Wherever go people say, why Mrs. Jones, how we'll you are looking. How did it happen?' and I always tell them Pink Pills did it.
 "I have not had the slightest touch of my old illness for the last six months and feel as if I never had been i'll in my life."
 MT. Jones said, ''you can readily imagine how highly we regard the remedy in this house where we have . . L feet health.''
 Dr. Williams Pink Pills are sold | oy all dealers, or will be sent post paid on receipt of price, 50 cents box, or 'ix boxes for $2.5O-they are never 'old in bulk, or by the 1OO) by address ng Dr. Williams Medicine Company, Schenectady, N. Y.

Telephone Wires and Lightning.

Telephone wires seem to have an important influence in preventing lightning from striking, according to the investigations of the German Tele- graph Department. Three hundred and forty towns with telephone systems and 560 towns without them were under ob- servation. In the former the lightning struck three times for every hour of storm; in the latter five times. More over, the violence of the lightning was much less in the former cases.

The essential difference between
Paine's celery compound and the be-
wildering number OF sarsaparillas and
neryines that its success has brought
into existence is that Paine's celery

pirate nutriment TO the exhausted
nerves, and securely builds up the sys-
TEN against diease. while the unsclen-
tifc remedies confuse and add 10 the
arrangement of the organs.

relieves, but effectively and perma-
nently cures.

for debility, nervous weakness, Ian

night 1t was the most elaborate en-
tertainment of the season thus far.
The club house was brilliantly lighted
and the parlors and ball room were
tastefully embellished with the choicest
conservatory plants. The young ladies
did the honors in a manner which
might have reflected credit upon the
most gallant of their escorts, while the
gentlemen secured the full measure Of
enjoyment from this reversal OF the
customary order of things.
The bail room scene was brilliant in
the extreme. The guests represented
the wealth, and beauty and fashion Of
the city. The Opera House Orchestra
rendered its sweetest music, and
dance programme Of twenty numbers
was discussed to the tuneful strains.
At midnight the young gentlemen were
escorted to the banquet hall on the sec
ond floor, where a sumptuOus spread
awaited them. Ziegenfelder was the
caterer, which is equivalent TO saying
that the cuisine was excellent.
