Beware
OF the Knife.

Mr.. Lincoln Nelson, of Marshfeld, Mo-,
writes: "For six years have been q
sufferer from a scrofulous affection OF
the glands of my neck, and all efforts
of physicians in Washington, d. C.,
Springfield, ILL.,, and ST. Louis failed to
reduce the enlargement. After SIX
months constant treatment here, my
physician urged me to submit to a re-
moval of the gland. Atthis critical mo-
ment a friend recommended S.S.S.,
and laying aside a deep-rooted preju-
dice against all patent medicines, be-
gan its use. Before had used one bot
tie the enlargement began TO disappear,
and now it is entirely gone, though am
not through with my second bottle yet.
Had only used your S.S.S. long ago,
l would have escaped years of misery
and saved over $I5o."
This experience is like that OF all who
suffer with deep-seated blood troubles.
The doctors can do no good, and even
their resorts to the knife prove either
fruit1ess or fatal. S.S.S. is the only
real blood remedy; it gets at the root of
the disease and forces it out perma-
nently.

The very sweetest orange and richest
is the black or rusty coated fruit. Pick
out the dingiest oranges i'll the box, and
you will get the best. Another way to
choose oranges is by weight. The heav-
lest are the best, because they have the
thinnest skin and more weight of juice
Thick skinned oranges are apt to be dry.
They either weigh less because of hav-
ing so much skin or because of the pow
erty of the juice in these particular
specimens. A slight freezing on the
tree causes this condition in otherwise
fine fruit. The kid glove" oranges are
the two varieties of small fruit grown
in Florida from stocks respectively
brought from China and from Tangier
They are called mandarin and tanger-
ine They may be eaten without soiling
a kid glove, because the skin is loose
and the little "gores, or pockets of
juice, come apart very clearly and with
out breaking. All the above applies to
Florida oranges. The Jamaica and Ha-
vana oranges are much paler yellow,
and their juice is usually of more acid
quality than the home grown oranges.

euNNERY PRACTICE.
An Occasion when Quickness Of Action
Prevented a Fearful Disaster.


Prevented Fearful Disaster.
An officer Of the United States navy
relates the following as illustrating some
of the perils Of gunnery at sea:
II came very near going up into the
air in small bits on this last squadron
cruise. We were at heavy gun practice
at sea and but for the quiclxness Of a
gunner's mate would never have re-
turned. AS you probably know, the
heavy guns in the turrets are fired by
electricity, the gun being discharged
simply by pressing a button. The officer
in command Of the forward turret on
our ship during rapid firing practice was
just about to press the button to fire one
Of our big guns when gunner's mate
was seen TO grab at something ON the
wall Of the turret and then fall in a
heap on the floor The officer pressed
the button, but the gun was not dis
charged. When the mate came to, he
was asked what had happened, and he
informed the officer that the preech Of
the gun had not been locked and that
what he grabbed at ON the wall was the
wires forming the electric firing circuit.
fWheii he saw that the officer was pre-
pairing to fire the gun and at the same
time observed that the breech of the
gun was not locked, the only thing that
occurred TO him to prevent the gun be-
ing discharged was to destroy the cir
cult, which he did promptly and effect
lively. When all this occurred, there
was a charge of $50 pounds of powder
in the gun, another charge of the same
size in the turret ready to be served, and
the passageway leading to the powder
magazine was wide open. But for the
quickness Of the gunner's mate the gun
would have been blown out inside the
turret, the gases from the burning pow
der would probably have ignited the
charge lying in the turret, this explo-
sion would have ignited the powder in
the magazine, and the chances are that
the whole ship, crew and all, would
have gone up in the air. A thought that
has occurred to me is this: Suppose the
accident had occurred, what do you
imagine the verdict of a board of in
quiry as to the cause of the loss Of the
ship would have been? Since his expert
ence the department has adopted cleo
trical means to prevent the discharge of
any Of the large guns until the breech
is locked. San Francisco Chronicle.

WOULDN'T BURN HIS BOOTS.

Though He Didn't Mind the Effect on
His stomach.
After he had sold his load of wood
and had received $4.25 for it he strolled
over to the little combination billiard
parlor and barroom on the other side of
the square. His faded old eyes lighted
up and his new cowhide boots larded
generously in grease, squeaked exult-
antly as he thought of that drink he
had been planning to get ever since he
left the farm at daybreak.
'Jest one old snifter
OF that good old LITTER"
he cooed to himself, land I'll be primed
ter start fer home.
'About one finger of that old red eye
will do the bizness, / calculate" he
confded to the bartender, as he pulled
feverish red mitten from his right
hand and damned it down in his
"pants" pocket. IT amt a drinkin
man-never was--but when it's so cold
outside yer breath freezes ter t'waggin
wheels yes got ter resort ter some pow
erful remedy ter thaw it out. ="
The bartender agreed with him. For
months he had watched the old farmers
come in, order just one finger of whis-
ky and drink a whole handful Of fin
gers for the manifestly unfair expendi-
ture of 10 cents, He had decided to put
stop to it, and the farmer with the
new cowhide boots was the first victim
The remedy he placed before him was
powerful enough to thaw the Yukon.
The old man poured his glass full-just
as the bartender knew he woodland
gulped it down in one big swallow.
The effect was instantaneous. The vic
tim gave one convulsive shudder, look
ed reproachfully at the bartender and
whirled around four times. Then be
sat down and hastily began to pull off
his cowhide boots.
"What the mischief are you doing
that for?" inquired the astonished bar
tender.
Cant ye see them's brand new
boots?" gasped the victim. Dye think
I'm goin ter let them burn up tew?"-
