IT'S IN The BLOOD

Impurity Of blood is caused only by
the failure of the Kidneys, the natural

impurities that come from the waste

If you are tired, dull, aching and

MERRY-Go.RoUND WITH SAILS.
Scheme of a Genius of the Mediter-

Scheme of a Genius of the Mediter-
ranean to Get Fun without Work.
A graceful contrivance has been per-
fected in a city on the Mediterranean
coast-a sailing merry-go-round. The
basic principle Is very simple one
a strong beam pivoted centrally and
fitted at each end with miniature sloop
rigging, l. e.. mainsail and jib. Seats
to carry one or more riders are slung
under each arm. Ingenuity or Incidence
will suggest variety of improvements.
The device may be fitted with auto
matte brakes, to revolve gently, for
baby's or grandma's accommodation;
or 1t may be so loaded with sails that 1t
will revolve with amazing rapidity.
That this Eysian charm may operate
most satisfactorily, friction at the piv-
oted point must be reduced to a mini
mum, and to insure this the two arms
and the weight carried by each should
be balanced to a nicely. This can be
accomplished In two ways-either by
providing a special shifting weight or
by making the seats for the riders NOV
able. 1t Is, of course, understood that
the booms are not made fast. but so
that they may shift. or be shifted. as in
lacking.
In Europe the youthful riders delight

somewhat long, after the style Of a Orr

habit, ran my fingers through my hair
to keep 1t of my brow. Having seated
myself and given my order, curiously
glanced about the room In search Of a
familiar face, when observed patron

and that was the cause of their
amusement. Being somewhat annoyed,
I motioned the waiter to my side and
asked the cause OF their joyfulness.
"well, SIR" replied the waiter, that
gentleman over there wanted me to ask

Assuming my most ferocious look,

go to Jail, the usual explanation Is that
the moonshine Is for family use only"
There are, however, many large stills
scattered all through that rough coun-
try, and once IN while some OF these
big fellows get caught. The largest
moonshine still on record was captured
not long ago by Deputy Marshal Thax-
ton. who, with posse, was engaged in
making series of raids all through
that suspected region. In this case the
officials were well prepared for an
emergency. but had no idea of the warm
reception that awaited them.
Guided by an informer, they trailed
their way up the mountain side by the
light of the moon, and faint glimmer
cation of the stills AS they drew near
er the fire grew brighter, and a jolly
crowd of men could be seen going about
their work and talking among them
selves. At a signal the posse with
drawn reyolverS, made n dash for the
spot, and the Jolly crowd" jumped for
their arms. A pitched battle followed,
in which more than one "shiner'' was
shot down; but after n stubborn resist
ance the whole outfit was captured,
marched off TO jail. and their property
confscated. A

ACetvleua,

1t Is hoped that the latest illumi-
nant acetylene, will largely take the
place Of gas In the future. .Acetylene
burns with a brilliant light, and can
now be obtained from what Ia practi-
cally waste product-carbide OF cal
cium, a crystalline body which, when
treated with water yields acetylene
almost quite pure. The gas which Is
thus obtained has a distinct garlic-like
color, 80 that its presence In air. due
to leakage Of pipes, would easily be
perceived. During combustion II pro-
duces less heat than coal gas, less mos
ture, and less carbonic acid, and uses
up about half the quantity Of oxygen.
The light is white, and for the same
volume yields nineteen times as much
radiance as coal gas with an ordinary
burner.

went, carrying the man with him on
his antlers. The deer, was madly
frightened, and Mr. Slower was more
scared than the deer. He could not
turn loose, and away went man and
animal, over rocks, bushes and briers.
When near the bottom of the canyon
the deer fell against tree, and before
he could get up, Mr.. Slower grabbed n
large piece of quartz rock and killed
the animal by beating 1t on the head.
Mr.. Slower had his clothes badly torn,
and his face and hands were scratched
by the bushes like the results of a
scrimmage with wildcats. He is una
bic to tell how he escaped serious in
jury while going down the side of the
rough hill at breakneck speed. After
the deer was dead, an examination
showed that the bullet had struck him
square upon the horns near the head,
which caused him to fall over in a
stunned condition.

shown should one fall into their hands.
This brotherhood of moonshiners is
somewhat similar to the old ku-klux ar
arrangement, for they will stand by each
other to the last. The moonshiners
really have no grievance against the
revenue officials, and will rarely shoot
or even injure them, except In self-ie-
Tense, but an informer is their common
enemy, and woe to one of this class
Should he ever be found out or even
suspected. There are individuals In
every district looking for this sort of
job; and 1t is dangerous for a stranger
to be seen wandering about the noun
taIns alone, let his mission be ever so
innocent. A pair of suspicious eyes are
following every movement, perhaps n
woman's or a child's eye, and should
anything appear to these watchers to
be of n questionable nature, a rough
clap on the back and a gruff What's
yer doing in these partsr may be very
difficult to explain satisfactorily.
Not long ago. near Waco, Ga, n young
man of excellent character was am
pushed by three desperate moonshiners,
who spotted him as an informer, and II
might have gone hard with him had II
not been for his rare pluck and rare
work with his muscle. Young Rober-
son is rustic athlete, who was written
down In the catalogue Of the moon
sinners as a spy, and plot was laid to
make away with him on the quiet. The
opportunity came one midnight, when
Robertson was riding home from visit
to neighbor. In n very dark part of
the woods the "shiners" waited for
their victim, and pretty soon he was
seen coming up the road, mounted on q
mule.

as he retreated. One man saw a way
to help, "Cheer himv' he cried.
The crowd cheered. The fireman
took heart again. 1t was easier to dare
the danger, now he knew that others
sympathized. He made second effort,
and, though 1t left him sorely wounded,
he saved the life.

Sheet Zinc.

A seeming anomaly is found in the
fact that In the United States tin
plate" is the favorite roofing, the use
of sheet zinc for roofing being almost
unknown; and yet In England, the home
of the tinplate industry, and in oil parts
Of Europe zinc Is now the most favored
material. A roof Of good tin, properly
laid and painted thoroughly at least
once in every three years, will last
from twenty to thirty years; the life of
a slate roof may be from thirty to fifty
years, while the life of zinc roof may
be estimated from the fact that the
first zinc roof ever put up, In 1871, ex-
lists to-day In good condition.

A Gift within the Reach OF All.


The fire started early Sunday morn
ing, when few people were on the
streets. 1t gained good Roadway be-
fore 1t was even discovered. When the
engines arrived, it was too late to save
property, and seemed equally so to res
cue life.
A crowd waited, breathlessly, while
the firemen dashed in again and again,
seeking the terrified and helpless people
who found no way Of escape. At
length, just as the spectators assured
each other that all was safe, a woman
appeared at an upper window. Hers
was the direst peril yet faced.
One of the firemen ran up his ladder
but, brave as he was, the flames drove
him back. Some groaned. others wept.
