Blood is essential to health. Every nook
and corner of the system is reached
by the blood, and on its quality the
condition of every organ depends. Good
blood means strong nerves, good diges-

scrofula, dyspepsia, rheumatism, catarrh
or other diseases. The surest way to
have good blood is to take Hoods

From the Denver Field and Farm.
one Of the many incidents of bravery
or foolhardiness occurring in Colorado
took place near Debeque, Mesa county. In
the spring of 1856. At that time the Roam
Creek Toll Road Company owned and was
operating a road through the HOgback
canyon, between Grand Junction and the
Garfield county line, and the superntend-
ent was a young man by the name of John
A. Rhone, a printer by trade. but who
proved to be a careful and competent Of
hcer Of the company. The country through
which the road ran is a wild and pictur-
esque one, and in those days the rugged
canyons We're fairly alive with mountain
lions, a cowardly but destructive animal.
To maintain the road the company kept
several horses. among which was fine
blooded Kentucky mare, which the presi-
dent Of the company had secured from
passing emigrant In exchange for another
horse. The mare was turned out with
some OF the company's horses which were
not then in use and in a short time she
dropped a fine colt The mare and colt were
progressing finely, until one morning the
entire band came rushing wildly down
from the hills to the toll camp. The colt
was missing. and the mares side was COW

which evidently made a spring, but not
getting a firm hold. simply scratched
down the mares side, leaving deep bleed

The sight of the mare, painting, fright
ened and bleeding and the loss OF the
colt so enraged Rhone that he immedi-
atcly seized his Winchester and started
out for the scalp of the mountain lion
which had done the mischief. BY following
the trail of the horses he soon found the
place where the brute had seized the colt.
and then it was not difficult to follow the
course the lion had taken with its prey
Turning abruptly around a ledge of rocks
he surprised the lion making a breakfast
from the remains of the colt. Before he

Not to lose his game. Rhone Immediately
built fire and attempted to smoke It out
but that failed; so, raking the embers
away from the mouth Of the cave Rhone
proceeded to crawl into the lions den on
his hands and knees, but soon the en-
trance got so small he had to lie down,
and finally his body filled the entrance
cavity.
Just then he heard a growl, and immedi-
ately before him he could see what ap-
peared 70 be two balls of fire. Raising his
Winchester as much as he could and aim
ing at the space between the eyes, he
fired. There was a roar and n spring, but
young Rhone was out of harms way.

The Ancestry of the Cat.
From the literary Digest.


The present state of knowledge on the
vexed question of the origin of the domes-
tic cat is thus summarized in an article en-
titled Concerning the Cat" In Our An
imal Friends, July:
at is impossible to trace the origin of
the domestic cat with certainty to any
existing species or variety Of the wild cat
Indeed, the time at which the cat was
first domesticated and introduced to hui
man society Is purely a matter of coniec-
ture. Prof Shaler expresses the opinion
that the domestication of the cat must
have been much later than that of the dog
while other naturalists give reasons for
believing to the contrary We ourselves in
cline to agree with Prof. Shaler. and for
this reason; that dogs were proably first
domesticatedNin order to assist in hunt
ing, and, therefore, probably, in what is
called the hunting age of human society:
whereas the cat has nowhere been gener-
ally used as a hunting animal The dog is
essentially gregarious; he loves to hunt
in packs, and when introduced to a hu-
man family he regards the fam
lily as his pack and hunts accordingly.
so that he is easily made servfceabIe by
the human hunter. The cat on the con.
trary, is unsocial; ii lives alone hunts
alone, and feeds alone, so that it could
be expected to be easily trained to hunt
either with men or for them. In fact
the only member Of the cat family that is
known to have been trained to hunt is the
cheetah, though an ancient painting, which
may De seen III tne Museum, Tep-
resents a cat which is apparently assist
ing hunter to catch birds. This. how.
ever, even If the picture is to be taken az
evidence of a fact, represents a very rare
exception to a universal rule ana there
fore would not justify the inference that
men in the hunting age adopted cats 10
aid them in the chase. = iule
There is another reason for thinking
that the cat must have been adopted by
man after the hunting age; namely. the
cats wonderful attachment to locality
Animals like the wolf, with which the
dog is most closely allied follow their
prey over vast tracts of country and seem
to be entirely destitute Of local attach
ment. The wildcat on the contrary. set
ties down in a particular spot and waits
for its prey to come, When removed from
its accustomed habitat 1t seems to lose
its skill, and therefore would be useless
to men in a hunting age, because in that
age men seldom had fixed habitatfons
but roamed abroad wherever game was
to be found. OF course, much of this is
conjecture. Whether the cat or the dog
was first adopted by men cannot now be
certainly known. but the cat was well
known as a domestic animal at an early
period of human history

has a disa greeable odor from the leaves.
Its flower is a deep purple in color.
From this strange aomiNture Of plant
life Mr. Du Val recently brought 10 the
office the FIRST bloom. The flower is about
eight inches long and measures six inches
across the beHshaped corolia, which IS
indented like both the parent howers, the
points ending in tendril-like twists, as do
the iinson-weed flowers. The c0rolla is
purple on the outside. while the inside is

ports the flower, which grows on a stout
stem.
The deep purple color is continued in the
stamens and pisti. which form Il group

the plant are like magnified oak leaves
and when pressed emit the true jimson-

Greed of the Late shah.

From the Nineteenth Century.
The greatest defect of the shah was his
avarice which was immense and insatia-
BILE, and although this is a fault common
among Oriental despots, who feel that
their power can only be made secure
from attack by the command Of a fun
treasury, yet it injured and often ruined
his schemes for the development Of his
country. If he had been content to spend
some portion of his hordes on public Inn
proYements, on the repair of ancient res
ervoirs and water courses, and the con-
struction of roads and bridges, he would
have brought under cultivation tracts Of
culturable land which are now desert and
would have largely benefited both his own
revenue and the general trade of the
country. But he could not make up his
mind to spend money. and required every
Improvement not only to pay for itself
but to bring a large contribution to his
own treasury.
The concessions which were given 70 all
corners for manufactures, mines. tram
ways, roads, banks, monopoltes for lot
terles, electric lighting, tobacco culture
and other schemes were in no case assist
ed by state money, but all had to surren-
der share of their profits, real or prob
lematical, TO the shah. The consequence
was that the greater number of these in
dustrial undertakings which, in a strange
country and among a suspicious popula-
ton required constant support and large
pecuniary assistance from the govern
ment, soon withered and disappeared anu
the shah not only lost his anticipated
profit, but solid and honorable finanelers
were deferred from adventuring in so IN.
propitious country. The ground was
left free to less honest Spectators who
applied for concessions, not to work them
seriously, but to pass them on for a con-
sideration to others who might successful
ly plant them in the often credulous mar
kets of Europe. Disaster followed, the
credit of Persia was lowered, and sound
enterprises were seriously injured by the
collapse OF worthless speculations.

Curious Flowers That Puzzle Those
Familiar with Horticulture.
From the Baltimore Sun.

From the Baltimore Sun.
From two big black seeds planted few
months ago in the garden of E. B. Du Val
have sprung plants which are blossoming
into curious flowers that puzzle those IA
niliar with horticulture.
The flower will probably be named the
''Du Val lily" as it is new one in Mary
land Mr.. Du Vars garden is in the rear
of his home, Whitmore Heights, in Sec
ond street, Waibrook, across the way
from the handsome residence Of Julian
LIE Roy White. 1t has become a curiosity
shop of flowers from the use of seeds and
cuttings which are sent to Mr.. Du Val bv
horticulturists all over the country in
order that he may try them in Maryland
soil.
When the two black seeds arrived in
Nav from New York seed house Mr. On
in the garden. He became interested in
the two shoots which soon sprang UP from
the seeds. The tender stalks were tightly
curled ir a knob, like that on growing
lfrna-bean stalk, until the stems were
nearly foot high. Then the curl straight
ened and a bushy plant developed. from
which soon rose a flower stalk
Another thing which aroused Mr. Din
VaPs curiosity about the new plant was
the information he received with the
seeds-that they came from a cross of .
fimson weed with the common yellow or
v hite lily, which abounds in old-fashion-
ed gardens and about old country places

Saw a Tornado Up AIoft at Night.
From the PhIladelphia Press.

From the Philadelphia Press.
Pittsburg, Aug. 9.-After a day of dis
tressing heat, a violent storm broke over
this city tonight. The heat Of the day
had driven the mercury up to 90 degrees.
Suddenly, at O'Clock this evening, the
thermometer fell rapidly, going TO IL de-
grees and making people SILVER. A little
cloud in the southwest moved northeast
as the forerunner OF a bank of black
clouds which speedily covered the sky
from one horizon to another. It became
pitch dark. No rain fell. and
now a wonderful sight was wit
messed by the people of the two cities.
At a point in the sky. midway between
the zenith and the North Star, a round,
white cloud appeared on the surface of
the black cloud. The white cloud appear
ed to revolve, cutting through the black
clouds IN tornado fashion Lightning
forked through the heavy banks Of vapor
which pressed close to the surface Of the
earth. A storm wind arose and howled
through the two cities. The remarkable
elemental play among the clouds contfn-
ued without a drop Of rain having fallen.
1t seemed as If a tornado were a work
far above the earth After half an hour
OF this there came at burst Of rain.
