Poor
Blood

When a horse Is poor in flesh,
a new harness won't give him
strength. If a house is cold
new furniture won't warm it.
IF your strength is easily ex-
hausted; work a burden;
nerves weak; digestion poor;
muscles soft; if you are pale
and worn out, the trouble IS
with the blood. Ii Is not so
much IMPURE. blood as
POOR blood. Pills won't
make this blood rich; nor will
bitters, nor iron tonics, any
more than a new harness will
give strength to the horse, or
new furniture will make a
house warm. For poor b,ood
you want something that will
make rich blood.
SCOTT'S EMULSION of
Cod-liver Oil with Hypophos-
phites is the best remedy IN the
world for enriching the blood.

more about the subject. Sent Free.

Nearly everything consumed here
is imported, and pays very high i'm
port duty. Salaries for clerks are
from 315 to S45 month. The un-
certain and evcr-changing value of the
money has an injurious effect upon
trade. None suffer more from it than
they who work for wages, for while
the cost of living IS made dearer by
the financial condition of the country,
salaries undergo little or no change
as the money fuctuates in values. As
to outdoor labor, no white American

compelled to do, to the suns burning

eft is true, money is plentiful aud
the expectation Of natural products

this part of Brazil; but no one can
successfully deal in rubber unless he
has large capital. The competition
is great. In the rubber field, men
without money can play no part, unless
they become rubber gatherers, in
which case they would have ten
chances for death against one for life.

are stars travelling in family parties,
colonies OF stars of friendly tend

fact that each star thus urging its way
through space is an enormous mass of
glowing vapor, yet the most perfect
order and harmony prevail in the star

Sources Of Gntta.Perchn.

Gutta-percha, like India rubber, is
obtained from the juices Of certain
trees and climbers. The best is pro-
duced by tree, the Isonandra gutta.

Malaysia, but which now tends to dis
appear under the ravages committed
by gatherers. Gutta, in Malay, sig
miles gum or lime; percha signifies
scrap. Ineisions are made in the bark,
as on rubber trees, and the liquor
flows of perfect whiteness, darkening
at contact OF air. Coagulation takes
place spontaneously in short time.
Like rubber, the liquid forms q film
on top. This cream is removed,
kneaded into a large lump and
pumped into boiling water. Under
the action Of high temperature it
softens and forms the cake usually
found in commerce. Other troes in
Malaysia aud Farther India. in Cam
bodia and Cochin China, produce good
gutta. In Hindustan different grades
are mixed by tho natives Chinese
merchants. in their depots, mix and
manipulate TO give a good superficial
appearance to the product, as the
price is constantly advancing. AS tho
gathers also do not scsuple to add
vegetable debris, earth, or sand, it has
become difi;ult to secure a pure nrti-
Gle. An inferior quality is obtained d
from trees and climbers in Africa and
Madagascar, aud, with the develop
ment of those countries, more may be
expected. .-Appleton's Popular Sciencer

NEW REPUBLICS.
Example of the United States Upcn
Neighboring Nations.
Eighteen Governments Have Be-
come Free and Independent.

Since the birth Of the present CEN
tury no less than Is governments on
this side of the Atlantic have joined
the sisterhood of free republics.
Without attempting to name them
in strict chronological order, these
several republics are as follows: Chile,
Argentina, Bolivia, Peru, Mexico,
Paraguay, Uruguay, Colombia, Ecua-
dor. Honduras, Nicaragua. Costa Ricn,
Guatemala, San Salvador, Hayti, San
Domingo, Venezuela and Brazil.
As to the geographical location of
these various republics, Hayti and San
Domingo are among the West Indies;
Mexico, in North America Argentina,
Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecua-
dor, Peru, Paraguay, Uruguay and
Venezuela, in South America, and
Hunluras. Guatemala, Costa Rca,
Nicaragua and San Salvador, in Cen
tral America.
While the various Central American
stntes have maintained separate and
independent governments during the
greater part of the century, a union
between three of these states, viz. Hon
duras. Nicaragua and Sau Salvador
has recently been formed under the
provisional name OF "rhe Greater Re-
public of Central America. As soon
as the two remaining states, Costa
Rica and Guatemala, enter the union
it will then be known as "The Central
American Republic
OF the Is republics above men,
toned, there is not II single one which
does not owe its existence to Spanish
dcspotism and which has not been
carved ont OF Spanish territory. The
loss which Spain has sustained, there
fore, during the past century, with the
single exception of Cuba, includes
her entire possessions in the new,
world. Unless a miracle interyf-

l.. netle is known OF these American
republics save in very general way.
From the latest official returns the
chief executives of these republics are
= s.llows: Mexico, Porfrio Diaz;
Venezuela, Joaquin ----.>as AraAn-
tina, Jose Uriburu; Brazil, Prudente
de Moraes; Bolivia, Severe Fernandez
Alonzo; Colombia, Antonio Caro-;

aqua, Jose Santos Zalaya; Peru, Mich
olas de Pierola; Salvador, Rlfael Gu
tierrez; Paraguay, Juan Eyusquiza;
San Domingo, Ulysses Heurlaux, and
Uruguay, Juan Bordn.
Had it not been for the success of
the American revolution these coun-
fries would no doubt still be under the
dominion of Spain. 1t is due in
large measure, therefore, to the in
spiration which our own experiment
at self-eovernment has furnished that
South America is today the abode of
freedom. With something of the
same spirit which inspired the mother
OF the Gracchi, this country can point

TAKE good care Of your stomach.
1t is not pretty thing to talk about,
but upon its condition depends the
state of your temper, your ability to
keep your friends, the pleasure you
will find in sleep, and two-thirds of
your enjoyment in life. If it is full,
your conscience does not trouble you.
If it is empty or out Of order, you are
likely to behave in such a way that
even your own mother will see faults
in you. Half of the heartaches in
the world, and all the "unsatisfed
longings" that distress poetical peo-
pie, may be traced to a stomach that
does not work right.

has broken out afresh and Spreckels
has attached Corrigan's horses for an
alleged debt Of $500. Spreckels holds
note for $500, Signed by Corr:gan. The
latter admits the existence of the note,
but asserts that it has been paid. In
February, 1895, Corrigan borrowed $500
OF Spreckais. On March 10, 1896, he bor-
rowed $4,000 more. So far the stories
of the two men agree. The difference is
as to a transaction of May y last. on
which date Corrigan negotiated, through

cording to Corr:gan, was to take Up the
first note of $500 and to provide for a
further loan of $500. When the recent
trouble between Corrigan and Spreckels
occurred Corrigan paid the two notes
for $4,000 ard $1,000, respectively. ap-
parently all their business relations
came TO close. After Spreckels with
drew from the Pacific Coast Jockey
