hat / ired

An exceedingly common and dam n
gerously significant condition.
A warning which must be needed,
or, as with the express train {
which fails to regard the dam
ger signal, disaster must follow.
A sure indication of thin, weak, i'm
poverished blood. A certain ad-
monition that the blood is not
properly feeding the nerves, It's
sues and organs of the body.
An imperative demand for the tonic,
vitalizing effect of Hoods Sarsa-
parilla upon the blood.
Weak, nervous, tired men and wom-
en- are found everywhere. Men
strive too hard to "keep their
ends up" women too anxiously
work "on their nerves" to meet
the demands of home and society,
all have too little sleep, and the
excessive drain on strength and
nervous energy will soon COM
pletely ruin health.
The strength must be built up by pure
blood, and the nerves must also
find in pure blood the proper nerve
food. For this purpose nothing
equals Hoods Sarsaparilla.
The thousands of wonderful cures it
has accomplished, the like of
which no other medicine and no
combination Of medicines can
show, prove its curative merit; /;
prove that it has never been
equalled as a blood medicine; (;
prove that Hoods Sarsaparilla is
indeed the ideal spring medicine,
the best nerve and stomach tonic,
the one true blood purifier.

Keep Snakes as Pets.

'There is pet snake in nearly
every house in Brazil" said Chica-
goan who has returned from a journey
through that country. "They keep
them just as we do cats or dogs, and,
indeed, for much the same purpose,
using them to kill the rats at night.
The snakes are species of boa from
ten to fifteen feet long, and are per-
fectly harmless to mankind, while they
are quite afiectionate and, like cats,
become attached to the house where
they are kept. These snakes are sold
in the markets, where 1 bought one
that died on the voyage from Rio jan
GIRO to New York.
"a scientist, to whom I spoke of
these snakes, told me that no snakes
are really dangerous to man. He said
that never had snake attacked man
unless the man had first attacked it.
The reptile is defensive, but not often
sive, and has no desire to pick a quar-
rel. But if you tread on n snake the
thing cannot know that your inten-
tons are not inimical to your welfare.
So always avoid snakes. Chicago

MAKING DELICATE WIRES.
Some So Small That No Gauge Can Meas.
ure Them.

Gold wire is mentioned in 'connec-
ton with the decoration the sacerdotal
robes Of Aaron, it is true, yet the
Oldest pieces of wire of which the
world has any knowledge, says Science
Siftings, is a specimen made by the
Nineyites some 800 years B. G. Solid
gold drawn wire is now practically
unknown in the trade. However, gold
wire is made in the following manner:
Silver rods are coated with gold in
proportion of 2 per cent. Of gold to tho
wright of silver so be manipulated.
When the gliding is performed ther rods
are about l ga inches in diameter by
two feet six inches long and weigh
about 400 ounces each. The two
metals are then drawn down together,
first through steel dies and afterward
through drilled rubies or diamonds.
The process of drilling the gems is
kept secret. A better idea Of the
minuteness of some of these borings
may, however, be learned from the
fact, that the holes cannot be dis
cerned by the naked eye, and only by
the aid of magnifying glass can one
be convinced that they really exist.
For the manufacture of silver and
silver gilt wires, the silver is sometimes
bored out and internal copper rods in
serted, and they are then drawn to-
gether. Wires as fine as human
hair, for example, 1908 of an inch in
diameter, and even finer, can be
gagged by instruments termed "mi-
crometers." The scales for weighing
the gold coin at the mint are so ex-
quisitely fine they can detect the most
minute particle added to either side of
the balance. There are fine woven
wire wire gauzes and cloth, some of
which are made with as many as 40, 200
meshes to the square inch.
The more delicate classes of wires
find application in scientific instru-
ments. So fine are these that it is
difficult to get them measured; but the
task has been accomplished, and plat
mum wire has been drawn to 1-7000
OF an inch, and to even greater fine
ness. aluminium wire has been drawn
as fine as 10, 800 yards to the ounce, q
size too fine to be practically measured
by any gauge or instrument While
mentioning practical examples of fine
drawn wires, it may be stated that
iron has been attenuated so that over
two and half miles in length only
weighed one ounce. Again, twenty
four grains of gold has been drawn on
silver wire to length of 100 miles.

Young girl rushed forward, and, throw
mo herself across the body of the
dead man, exclaimed that it was not
the accused who had been shot, but
his younger brother, who resembled
him in many ways. She was the be-

course recognized him where the 9th

did not. The younger brother, to
preserve the honor of his people, and
knowing that the condemned man
