Little Pain,

The first touch of Rheumatism is a
fair warning of much torture to follow.
The little pains which dart through the
body are not so severe at first, possibly a
mere pang, and cause little inconven-
fence, but if the warning is unheeded,
they will multiply rapidly and increase
in severity until they become almost
unbearable.
Rheumatism as a rule is much severer
in winter, though many are so afflicted
with it that they are crippled all the
year round. Those who felt its first
touch last year, may be sure that with
the first season of cold or disaereeable
weather, the mild pain of last year will
return as severe one, and become more
and more intense until the disease has
them completely in its grasp.
Being a disease of the blood of the
most obstinate type, Rheumatism can
be cured only by a real blood remedy.
No liniments or ointments can possibly
reach the disease. Swift's Specific
Is. S. S. is the only cure for Rheuma-
tism, because it is the only blood remedy
that goes down TO the very bottom of all
obstinate blood troubles, and cures cases
which other remedies cannot reach.

Capt. o. E. Hughes, the popular rail-

"At first paid very little attention to
The little pains, but they became so
much sharper and more frequent that
before long I was almost disabled. The
disease attacked my muscles, which
would swell to many times their natural
size, and give me the most intense pain.

tism could be cured, when was advised
to try S. S. S. This remedy seemed to
get right at the cause of the disease, and
soon cured me completely. I believe
that S. S. S. is the only cure for Rheu-
matism, for l have had no return of the
disease for eight years"
The mercurial and potash remedies,
which the doctors always prescribe for
Rheumatism, only aggravate the trouble,
and cause a stiffness in the joints and
aching of the bones which add so much to
the distress ofthe disease, besides serious
ly affecting the digestive organs. S.S.S.

Rheumatism because it is absolutely free

Tho Mnshonalnnd Doll.

No doubt the earliest manufactured
toy of all was the doll. Little girls
play with dolls everywhere, and have
always done So Indeed, among the
Bechuanans and Basutos at the present
time married women carry dolls until
they are supplanted by real children.
There is for its pOssessor a curious in
dividuality about doll, altogether UNI
accountable to other people. How Oft
EN- may it be observed that a child
will neglect the splendid new five shil-
ling waxen beauty, with its gorgeous
'finery, and cling faithfully to the dis
reputable, noseless wreck of rags that
has been its favorite hitherto! Some
thing causes other children, besides
Helen's babies, to dislike "buyed dol

made of an old towel. This some
thing, whatever it is, is doubtless a
great comfort to the small girls of

less sort of affair, without any such dis

Novelty in Type Material.

A new idea in type material is the
combination Of glass with celluloid or
hard rubber. The body of the type is
nS-de of rubber or celluloid upon which
glass-topped letters are firmly cement
ed. In order that the face Of the type
in the form may not touch, the ex-
IRENE face is a trihe smaller than the
body portion. Great advantages are
claimed for this sort of type, among
them being that glass will wear very
much longer than metal, and the print
will therefore be sharper and clearer.
With the slightly elastic base and the
small sections in which the letters are
made there is but little danger Of
breakage, even with very rapid work.

GERMANY VS.. HAYTI.
TROUBLE is BREWING BETWEEN
THE NATIONS.
TT Is said that the United States Ha
offered to Mediate Haytian Govern
ment Obstinate Barnum & Bailey
Circus Is Off for Europe.
Caused by an Arrest.

A dispatch to the London Morning Post
from Berlin says: 1.-THE United States is
credited here with offering its interven-
ton in the difficulty between Germany
and Hayti. But the German Government
is waiting for the arrival of Herr Lueders
and the report of Count Schwerin due by
the next mail packet" The German war
ship Gefion is under orders to sail for
Port au Prince, Hayti, this month III or
der to insist upon redress for the arrest
there of Herr Lueders, a German subject,
and his alleged unlawful Imprisonment,
for which Count Schwerin, the German
minister at Port au Prince, has demand
ed an indemnity. Lueders is now bel1ey-
ed to be in Germany, having been reieas-
ed from prison in order to avoid further
complications, the natives Of Port au
Prince having threatened to mob the Ger
man legation and lynch Lueders. The mt
ting out of the war ship is being fastened
as much as possible. The officials Of the
German foreign office do not believe the
matter will be adjusted for some time to
come, because the Haytian Government
has assumed a stubborn attitude. The
German newspapers are blaming the Gov
eminent for the delay in bringing Hayt
to terms
