Health and strength carry us through
dangers and make us safe in the pres
ence of peril. A perfectly strong man
with rich, pure blood, has nothing to
fear from germs. He may breathe in
the baccilli of consumption with i'm.
punity. If there is weak spot where
the germs may find an entrance to the
tissues, then the trouble begins. Dis
ease germs propagate with lightning
like rapidity. Once in the blood, the
only way to get rid of them is to kill
them. This is what DR.. Pierce's Gold
en- Medical Discovery is for. i puri-
fies the blood. That means that it
kills the germs, but that is only part
of what ii does. 1t assists digestion by
stimulating the secretion OF digestive
fluids, so promoting assimilation and
nutrition; purifies and enriches the
blood and so supplies the tissues with
the food they need. 1t builds up strong,
healthy flesh and puts the whole body
into a disease-resisting state.

Ionone, the perfume of the violet, is
mentioned as unquestionably the finest
of all products of synthetic chemistry
thur far. In its commercial form of "a
ten per cent. solution, it is quoted at
81 i0a pound, which would make the
value of the undiluted substance, at
the same ratio, 81, 400 a pound. And
this, moreover, is only crude material,
of disappointing odor. 1t is only when
much further diluted aud skillfully
combined with other materials that the
exquisite fragrance of the violet is
brought out.

ed to have said recently to Queen Mar
gherita when telling her of Acciarito's
unsuccessful attempt upon his life. But
i'll saying this the gallant king only
parodied, or rather repeated, if perhaps
unwittingly, the words uttered by
Prince Bismarck on returning to his
hotel at Kissingen after being shot at
and slightly wounded by Huffman, the
fanatic of the kulturkampf. "Oh,
WELL" exclaimed the chancellor, ''inci-
dents of this kind are only part of the

dent of the kind in which he had fig
ured. But King Humbert has run the

Forced Aston to Dismount.

The fine roads of Ferncliff, the home
of the Astors at Rhinebeck, are closed
to cyclers because of an unpleasant in
cident occurring recently which resulted
in John Jacob Astor being crowded into
the ditch on his own property. Mr.. Astor
and his wife are both enthusiastic bicy-
Gle riders, and when at home may be
seen any pleasant day riding ON their
wheels, enjoying the air and scenery. On
the day referred to Mr.. Aston met a
party Of wheelmen inside the gate of
Ferncliff, who, instead of making room
for him, forced him to the side of the
road, pocketing him so that he was
obliged to dismount.
At once orders were issued forbidding
entrance to cyclers to the domain of
Ferncliff. The deprivation will be Sc
verely felt, as Ferncliff embraces miles
of road built with the famous iron ore
which abounds in Rhinebeck and makes
the smoothest and hardest macadam
surface i'll the world. Exchange.

They We're Placed Conspicuously About
His Premises.
One morning not long ago. when the
servants of the Cleveland household
came down stairs for their days work,
their astonished gaze rested upon ducks
by the score. There were ducks before
the porch and ducks upon the window
stills. Whole focks of ducks nodded from
the branches of the trees surrounding
the house, and still others squatted up
on the lawn before the front of the
dwelling.
Little steamers of ribbons and flags
tiuttered gayly in the morning breeze.
The opening of windows and doors had
no disturbing effect upon the flock of
birds, and moments investigation
showed that they were all decoy ducks,
with which some industrious young
men had decorated the ex-president' 8
premises during the night The men
about the place had half days work
i'll collecting the decoys from about the
house and from off the trees. -Phila-

FIGHTS At WEST POINT.

They Occ1r Frequently and Are Fought
With Bare Fists.
With balzSaaged eyes and bruised and
battered faces two West Point warriors
toss restlesSly upon iron cots in the ca
Diet hospital. They are the defeated vic
Tins of two sanguinary pugilistic con-
tests which Were fought recently at the
military academy. One of the young
men is Cadet Sergeant Curtis G. OF
well of Ohio, who was put to sleep at
the end of a hotly contested, bare knuc-
kled six round bout, which he fought
with Cadet Humphreys. Otwell's
bruised and disfigured colleague is his
classmate, Sergeant J. B. Cowan, a
fiery young representative from the EN-
pire State.
Cowan met his pugi1istic Waterloo at
the hands of Cadet Private W. L. Muir
ply, a pugnacious young Iow'an, who is
member of Cowans class.
A dispute over an order caused the
youth from New York and his Iowan
classmate to meet i'll battle array just
before daybreak. Murphy tipped the
scales at 1856 pounds, and on his feet
! flesh. Cowan weighs about ten pounds
more than his antagonist and is about
two inches the taller, but he lacks the
ability to use his fists as dexterously as
the man from the far west.
It was an uneven contest from start
to finish In every round Murphy land
ed with telling effect. New York's
plucky SON bravely stood up under his
terrific punishment, but ygas unable to
offer any PERSISTENCE to Musphy7s pound
ing or toland any return blows where
they would do damage.
For four rounds Cowan resisted the
appeals of mis- seconds to acknowledge
defeat. Attic end of the fourth slash
ing blow from Murphy's right caught
Cowan square in the eyes and nearly
blinded him. Unwilling still to give up
the sponge, the New Yorker again
struggled to his feet, but just as the
call for revei1le sounded Murphy again
landed on Cowan's jaw, which made
the New York boy go down in defeat
before the fighting son of Iowa. Muir
ply was not badly damaged and was
able to report for duty.

AN UNEXPECTED TINT.
Lotion That Was to Make Negroes White
Turns Them Red.

Iurns Inem Red.
Some time ago there was advertised
at Norcross, Ca, by corporation do
ing business in northern city lotion
that was guaranteed to make oolored
people turn white. The first one to in
vest was very black young woman,
who is the wife of Alfred Bolton, who
operates creamery near Norcross.
She secured a quantity of the stuff,
and, following the directions on the
bottle, rubbed it vigorously into her
skin. The operation caused intense suf-
fering, because the lotion was hot as
cayenne pepper, but the woman perse-
vered, and in time her skin changed
color, as the advertisement said it
would, but it turned red instead of
white.
Ugly scarlet spots appeared on her
face and body and her hair came out.
She appealed at last to DR.. Richardson,
physician, who found unmistakable
evidences of poisoning. The woman is
now critically i'll, and if she gets well
will be disfigured for life. Her case
sounded an alarm among the negroes,
and nearly score of others suffering
from the same trouble have gone to
physicians for treatment. Exchange

Methodist Laymen win Meet.

A large number of prominent Metho-
dist laymen of Indiana have issued a
call for mass meeting in Indianapolis
on Sept. 10 to advocate larger represen-
tation for the laity in the general con-
ference. 1.-TWO and half million lay
men," they say, "have but onethird of
the representatives in the general con-
ference, while $4,000 preachers have
two-thirds. The laymen furnish the
millions of money to carry ON the work
of the church in all her various depart
ments, The impolicy, to say nothing of
the injustice, in denying them an equal
voice in its disbursement and in the
general management of the church is
painfully apparent.

sentation at the queens jubilee ceremo-
MES. Secretary Of the Navy Long is
now giving the subject careful consid
Grafton, and during recent days he has
had in consultation on the matter sew
eral bureau chiefs of the navy depart
ment.
The plan as now arranged is to send
to England three of our most powerful
warships. The ships which have been
decided upon, all but to the issuing of
the orders, are the armored cruiser
Brooklyn and the battleships Maine
and Indiana.
The Brooklyn is the most powerful
fighting cruiser in the United States
navy. 1t is doubtful if there be a vessel
in the cruiser class in any foreign navy
which would be a match for her. Her
final acceptance by the United States
government from the hands of the build
ers took place recently.
The battleship Indiana represents the
highest type of coastwise battleship in
the service of this country. Compared
with foreign battleships, the Indiana
carries more guns to the ton of ship
than any battleship afoat
The battleship Maine stands for the
highest type of seagoing battleships Of
the second class. She is a powerfully
armed vessel, and naval men every
where credit her with being the supe-
rior Of almost anything afioat of her
