POISON In THE BLOOD.
Witch is tho Direct Cause OF Rhcu-
mntism, and In Enct of Most
Physical Troubles.

These are trying times"
The speaker was a mddlcaged inau and
father OF quite family.
II don't refer to business he continued,
'but 20 the trying weather. have q
severe attack Of rheumatism, my wife has
bad cold and the rest of the family are
net WE'LL"
81 know IL Is common thing to lay all
these troubles to the weather. but | have
come to the conclusion that the condition
of the system has much to do with It, II
the man who has rheumatism and the woman
who has a cold. will trace back for the cause.
II will be found in some weakness OF the
body"
"And do you know what think the great
est weakness In the body ls7 | will tell you.
| l believe 1t is due to uric acid, which is in
the blood. keeping 1t fermented all the time.
know that 1t causes rheumatism and
believe most colds"
"You naturally ask how decs this uric acid
get into the blood. The answer is very
simple. The kidneys do not do their duty
and throw u from the system as they should.
and therefore II remains In the blood, and
believe that IL uric acid were removed from
the blood, most rheumatism and colds would
disappear
The gentleman was right and he might
have added that Brights disease Of the kid
neys Is also brought about by this same
| cause. is it not plain to be seen that II the
kidneys are strong and healthy and throw the
uric acid out of the system, 1t will not get
into the blood and so poison the muscles and
joints and cause rheumatism. or decay the
kidneys and cause Bright's disease,
There has never been but one known
remedy for all troubles of the kidneys, and
that is Warmers Safe Cure. 1t has been
found by the medical profession to be pos
sessed of properties unknown to any dis
covery Of modern or ancient times. 1t has
taken men and wcmen. too. who were In
the last stages, and restored them to per-
feet health and strength. 1t Is endorsed
by physicians, approved by scientists. and
used by the best people In the land. II is
a scientific preparation and owes It's popu-
larity wholly to its power.
1t should be borne In mind however, that
where there are such serious troubles as
those above mentioned, only strictly reli-
able preparation can be used with hope or
safety.
1t will pay you to bear these things in
mind.

spEoULAT1NG ON RELATIONSHIP
Judge ScOtt's Family Tree in n Fear
full TQnUle.

Ex-President Harrison's brother-in law,
Judge J. N. Scott. OF Port Townsend, WASH,
at social gathering the other evening
discovered very Unexpectedly that he was
about to become his own father. The
subject of General Harrisons approaching
wedding was being discussed with a PAL ty
of friends relates correspondent, when
some one asked Judge Scott II that would
not somewhat conp.icate and tangle up the
limbs on the family tree. For a moment
the question somewhat stunned the GENTLE
man. and then the party commenced to try
and solve the matrimonial tangle. Several
of the notes made and calculations formed
were preserved and given to the press.
Of the existing relationship Judge, Scott is
the they limb Of This his own family mi % tree after T pea the
wedding shall have taken place that he be-

The logical result Of the union was quite
astonishing the Judge and the guests sat
down to figure 1t out again, arriving at the
same conclusion. Then some one ascertained
that General Harrison would become his

Money Asked to buy Reindeer.

WASHINGTON, Feb. THE secretary OF
tho treasury has transmitted to the house Of
representatives a communication from the
commissioner of education submitting an esti-
mate of an appropriation Of s45.oO0 to buy
reindeer fer Alaska. In view of the fact that
1t Is found to be impracticable to transport
reindeer in revenue vessels the commissioner
says 1t would be advisable to advertise for
bids for this service. One commercial COM
pany offered to deliver 1,50O head a year at
the rate Of $50 each. This is much less than
the cos. heretofore. The deer are found to
thrive better on the American than on the
Siberian side, and there is pasturage in
Alaska for from 100000 to 100000 head.
AS the straits of the natives for food sup
ply increase slowly from year to year, the
commissioner says 1t is important that the
work of providing this new food should be
fastened as much as possible.

The commissions conclusions are that all
locks IN the canal should have width of
eighty feet, as United States steamers like
the Iowa have a beam OF seventy-two feet,
That all steamers affecting the canal route
should be gauged to ascertain their flow, and
rainfall observations made at points along the
entire route. The construction OF the east
ern division on the line proposed by the
company Is held to be feasible but in view
of the risks involved In the maintenance of
the numerous dams and embankments, the
maj adoption OF any route is lnexpedient
until all alternative routes have been inyes-
tigated. Explorations for alternative routes
In the eastern division should include the So
called low level line, on the left bank of the
San Juan to the San Juanllo, and thence 10
Greytown, and investigation made as to the
practicabilty OF extending the canalization
OF the river TO the Vicinity of the Seraapiqui
by means OF comparatively low dams.
The cost of the work, particularly In the
eastern division, will be increased In conse-
quence of the heavy rainfall but from obser-
vations made its destructive effect on COM
pleted work will be much less than that OF
frost In the United States The climate of
Nicaragua Is mild, equable and humid, and
the value of labor cheap, but the opening of
earth excavations may be expected to develop
malaral diseases. The volcanic and seis-
matte forces are declining and will not inn
peril the stability of the canal. For obtain
ing the necessary data for final project
eighteen months time, covering two dry sea-
sons. and an expenditure Of $350,0O0 will be
required.
