Whether in the form of pill powder
or liquid, the DOCTORS prescription for
blood diseases is always the same
mercury or potash. These drugs bottle
up the poison and dry it up in the
system, but they also dry up the marrow
in the bones at the same time.
The suppleness and elasticity of the
joints give way to stiffness, the rack
ing pains of rheumatism. The form
gradually bends, the bones ache, while
decfepitude and helplesshess prema-
turely take possession Of the body, and
it is but short step to a pair OF
crutches. Then comes falling OF
the hair and decay of the bones, "a con
dition truly horrible.

How the Heavens More.

According to the elder Struve, the movement of tho sun through space is at about the rate of five miles per sec- ond, but that calculation was made on the supposition that the brightest of the fixed stars were between two and three times nearer us than they have been since proved to be. The best astronomers of more modern times are of the opinion that the actual speed of the solar system in its wild flight through space can scarcely fall short of 12 or exceed 20 miles per second. By q moderate esti- mate, then, our position in the great sea of space is changing at the rate of 500, 900, 000 miles annually. The above figures, wonderful as they may seem, are counterbalanced by the enormous distances which separate the fixed stars from the planets of our solar system as we'll as by the unthinkable and meas ureless space which intervenes between those distant orbs. Let us suppose that our sun and his train of planets and satellites are getting ready to make a trip to Sirius, tho dog star, and that that body is anchored perfectly stationary in space. Suppose that we begin our j-ip collision with tho ruler of dogdays? Not until after lapse Of 90, 900 yearsl And we are travelling 500, 900, 900 of miles annually too!-St. Louis Republic.

 "No, now," said the stolid mechani- clan. ''I am half starved. He pulled up to the table and made hearty meal, while his Celtic companion strode inn patiently up and down with twitching fingers and restless eyes.
 ''Now, then," said Brown, facing round and brushing the crumbs from his lap, "who is to put it on?''
 'I shall, cried his companion eager ly. "What we do tonight is likely to be historic. '
 But there is some danger" sug- gested Brown. We cannot quite tell bow it may act. '"
 "That is nothing" said Pericord, with wave of his hand.

The moon was shining cold and clear, though an occa- sional ragged cloud drifted across her face All was still and silent upon the 1owns. They stood and listened before they entered the barn, but not a sound came to their ears, save the dull mur. mur of the sea and the instant barking of dog. Pericord journeyed backward and forward with all that they might need, while Brown filled long narrow sack with bricks.
 When all was ready, the door of the barn was closed and the lamp balanced upon all empty packing case. The bag of bricks was laid upon two trestles, and the broad steel girdle was buckled round it. Then the great phlanges, the wires and the metal box containing the motor were in turn attached to the gir dle. Last of all a fiat steel rudder shap ed like fish's tail was secured to the bottom of the sack.
 We must make it go round im { small circle" said Pericord, glancing round at the bare, high walls.
 Tie the rudder down at one side, '' suggested Brown. ''Now it is ready. Press the connection, and off she goes. ''
