teen years she has been badly broken
out all over her body, causing her ur-
told suffering, and frequently rendering
her unable TO attend school. Her arms
and limbs would crack open and bleed,
then dry up and scale off by the hand
ful, and at one time an awful sore APP
peared on her ear, which became severe
~ inilamed and almost dropped off.
The disease also broke out on her head
and her hair was continuous mass of
scales. Her condition was truly pitia-
BILE.
"Of course we have done all we could
TO relieve her, and have given her al
most every known treatment. She has
taken potash mixtures and various salves
and external applications by the whole
sale, and almost every so-called blood
remedy, all without the slightest
benefit, and year by year we could not
feel the slightest encouragement that
she would ever be we'll. l was advised
several times TO send her to Hot Springs,
and also to celebrated spring i'll Michi-
gan, and was told that this was the only
chance on earth of her ever being cured,
as the disease was too aggravated to be
checked by medicines.
"a few months ago, someone recon-
mended S. S. S., and as soon as her sys-
tenn had taken on the effects of this
medicine, an Improvement was noticed.
She grew better all the while and con-
tnued to improve i'll every way We
we're delighted TO see her so much bet
fer and for the first time felt that she
would get we'll. The medicine was con-
tnued while longer, and now she is
cured sound and we'll, her skin is clear
and pure, and she has been saved from
what threatened 10 blight her life for
ever. The cure is all the more remark
able because she inherited the disease,
which has been in our family for several
generations, and | am happy to find
i'll S. S. S. a cure for a diseas which
all the specialists in the world fail to
cure. | consider S. S. S. a most wonder
full remedy, and it certainly has no equal
for deep-seated blood diseases which all
other remedies do not seem to touch"
This experience is like that of all others
who seek relief from the many so-called
blood purifiers, only to be discouraged
1t is but folly to expect a cure from this
dreadful disease by the use of salves
lotions, or any external application
The disease is i'll the blood, and
only a blood remedy can eliminate it.
S. S. S. is a real blood remedy, guaran-
teed purely vegetable, and for real deep
seated blood diseases, has no equal. 1t

on one rope. He seemed kinder hurt
about it, as though he thought there
was some trick in it. We tried to ex-
plain to him, and encourage him to try
it again, and next time to jump on
sooner. But he wouldn't; leastways.
not on the fall.
"But he'd jump onto the other parts
of the tackle and ride them down,
KNOWN that if his ride stopped before
he got down there were plenty of ropes
close to him to climb down on. One
time, though, he warn't lookin' out for
his tail, and it got dragged into the
lower block. He let out an awful
screech, and we Stacked away till he got
his tail clear; but he'd never ride down
halliards after that, though he'd still
help us on the yard
"Bimeby, as he got bigger, he got too
strong and ambitious, and his claws
made little holes in the sail. That
wouldn't do, and yet we didn't like to
discourage him workin'; he was real
! help on the yard. So the mate got file
from the carpenter, and filed his claws
blunt, but he filed OF too much, and next
time Quartermaster started to go aloft
he only got about six ratlines up. He
couldn't hang on.
"IIe tried it again, but it warn't no
use; he had to give it up and went right
aft and below. He stayed down a whole
day, and then came up and walked
round lool1in' SO pitiful and discouraged
like that we felt sorry for him.
There wasn't a mae of us who
wouldn't ha' been willin' to mend that
sail in his watch below just as fast as
that cat could tear holes in it. if we
could have him aloft with us again, and
the mate was willin' to file the
stumps sharp again. but Quarterrnaster
wouldn't let him. The poor critter knew
what the trouble was, and wouldn't
never go near the mate again; but he'd
sojer round among us, and whine and
hold up his paw. SOS we could see what
kept him on deck when he was needed
aloft.
"We hoped they would grow sharp
again, and perhaps they would in time;
but Quartermaster wouldn't wait for
that He felt himself disgraced and no
use aboard at all; and he moped round
and got thin. and one mornin' we found
him curled up under the wheel-box dead.
He just died of broken heart, nothin'
else.
I'VE buried him that day like a sailor.
/ tell you, we all felt bad, and the mate
cried. The old man swore that if that
cat had lived he'd have put him on the
articles next voyage and rated him able
seaman"

ulous snore arose from the other end of
the forecastle, and reaching out his
head, he peered around and growled:

when the Moose sheds His Horns.

Very few people have ever seen a
bull moose shed his horns. This trans
formation usually takes place between
January / and January 8, during which
time the animal is very ugly. The bull
moose in the Ellerton moose park in
Roseau commenced shedding his horns
on the date mentioned, and during the
process performed some queer antics.
He would run and jump at everything
in his way, butt trees and fences, and
his mates were driven by the big fell
low hither and thither. A kicking
bronco was turned in the park, and for
a few minutes the fight was terrific,
the bronco coming out winner with
his heels. Finally the moose backed
away and made run for the horse.
This was too much for the bronco, who
fed for dear life, with the moose in
full pursuit. The race was made around
the corral ten times before the moose
could be stopped and the horse taken
away from the enraged animal, which
was accomplished with no little trouble
and danger.-Minneapolis Journal.

plugged her with bullet; she thrashed
around some and killed one kitten with
her claws, but we got the other and took
him aboard for a pet.
"Well, we got to sea, and the kitten
seemed to take to sea life first-rate.
Everyone petted him, and the mate
wouldn't allow anyone to tease him;
SO, as he didn't get any fresh meat, be
didn't get savage. He had good time
and made friends all around, and as he
got bigger would chase round decks
just as common cat does when it feels
good.
''One moonlight night he took run
from the quarter clean forward and up
the riggin' half way to the fore-top;
then he couldn't get down, and yowled
SO pitiful like that one of us went up
and got him. He thought that was
great fun, and did it again, and kept on
doing il; but we couldn't be bothered
going after him every time. So one
night the mate says: Let him stay
there and get down himself So we
let him stay the whole watch, yowlin
all the time, but no one paid any atten-
ton to him. Bimeby, Ion bout eight
bells, he stopped yowlin', and made up
his mind to try it himself, so he hitched
and scrambled and managed to get
down all right. Then he walked aft
kinder dignified like. We thought he
was sore on us for neglectin' him so
but he wasn't; he was only proud OF
what he'd done, and little stuck on
himself-but then, he was young.
"He sat down by the wheel and
seemed to think it over, then he took
mother run forward and up the shrouds
He came down right away and walked
aft; and then he tried it again. That
seemed to satisfy him that he could
do it all right, and he gave it up for that
night, but he carried his tail straighter
6p in the air after that.
'sHe learned an awful lot, that cat.
He noticed everything, and bimeby
got to wonderin' what made the skipper
and the mates look at the compass
and then swear at the man at the wheel.
He larned to do that, too. He'd jump
up on the pinnacle and reach his neck
over SOS he could see the compass;
then he'd make faces at the man at the
wheel and growl. 1t was all in fun,
though, he never meant nothin' by it.
We called him quartermaster for that.
Zone evenin' it looked mighty squat
" over to the eastward, and the old man
ordered everything taken in down to
the main to gallan' sal We cleaned up
and started aloft to tie the canvas up.
Quartermaster was feelin' specially
good that night, and had been racin'
up and down the fore riggin-he seemed
to know he belonged TO the mates

or mizzen--so when we passed him in

top all right; but the top mast riggin'
was new to him, and he yowled as
though askin' US to wait. Course we
couldn't wait, but went on Up; and
Quartermaster thought it over. He
didn't know the way-she was wire
rugged aloft; he had to hunt around
for the running riggin' that he could
dig his claws into. But he got up to
'gallan' yard bout the time we'd fin
ished with the royal and came down to
it, and sat down in the sings TO watch
us. He seemed to know just what we
were doin', and when we got done he
come down with MS.
"After that, every time he'd see us
goin' aloft on the fore he'd go long,
too, and KNOWN the way now, he'd
always beat us up, and we'd find him
sittin' in the sings of the to- gallant
yard, waitin' for us. But he'd never GO
above that yard; he'd no use for the
royal at all, and if he found the to gal
Ian sal wasn't clewed up to be furled
when he got up, we'd always meet him
comm down, loolSin' kinder sheepish
like. Bimeby he got so he knew the
ropes bit, and could tell if we were
chewing up the royal or the top gallan'
sal; or else he understood the mates
orders, for he didn't make no more
mistakes like that.
"After he'd watched us tie up the
to- gallan' sal few times, he took
the notion O. helpin' us. He'd brace
himself and dig his claws into the
sail, and hang on to what we'd pulled
up. Course he couldn't hold much of
the sail in his grip, but he did his best,
and he seemed so proud of it, too; we'd
always pat him on the head and eEcour-
age him all we could.
Zone time four of us and quarter
master had rolled up the to- gallan'
sal, and were comm down. The
crowd below had tied reef in The
topsail and were bowsin' it up, and we
all jumped on the haulin' part o. the
halliards and rode down with it.
"Quartermaster was puzzled, and
didn't know just what to do himself;
but finally he made up his mind to ride
down the halliards, too; so he jumped
onto the rope. 1t was great fun for
him; but he waited too long. and the
top sail was up before QuartermasteI
got down, and it left him hangin' on
to that single rope, way out from all
the other ropes-and it was mighty
hard work for him to scramble down
