that could injure the most delicate system.
They act directly on the blood, supplying to
the blood its life-giving qualities by assisting
it to absorb oxygen, that great supporter Of all
organic life. In this way the blood, becom.
lacking constituents, becomes rich and red,

functions, and thus to eliminate diseases from
the system.

STOLE A o WALL.
1t Surrounded y Cemetery-Live Fishes
Also Become Booty.

Also Become Booty.
Two of the most unique cases of
thieving On record are being invcstigat-
ed in Haverhill, Mass. says the New
York Press. One is the stealing of IT,
900 live fish and the other the theft of
q big stone wall surrounding the GEM
etery Of the Hebrew Burial association.
This is the first instance ever chroni-
cled of the larceny Of a stone wall
from a graveyard. Last fall Charles
Goodrich constructed an artificial lake
on his estate and stocked it with "shin-
ers" which ne intended to sell this
winter. Yesterday he had the sale and
went in search of the fish. but found
that they had all gone. The lake was
still there, and as there is no outlet
there was only n explanation of the
mystery.
The Hebrew Burial association pur-
chased twenty acres of land near the
Whittier homestead two years ago. It
Enclosed the lot with a stone wall. The
wall has taken wings just as mysteri-
opsly as did the fish in the artificial
lake.
The members of the association claim
that the stones were taken when the
Millvale reservoir was built. and they
say that they will bring suit against
the water board. The members of the
board. however, deny that they touched
the stones at all and say that they got
their stone from a lot of land which
they purchased.
The stolen wall was about half q
mile long. 1t is estimated that there
vas nearly 1000 cords of stone in the
wall. Haverhill thieves have certain
ly selected strange booty. What have
they done with it? Where could they
hide It? The folk of Haverhill say
that a man who will steal the fence
from a graveyard will hesitate at moth
ing.

A singular fact about Queen Victoria
Is that she has not only always en-
toyed exceptional good health, and that
even at her present advanced age she is
unusually strong and well, but that she
has had more hair breadth escapes
than any other sovereign in history.
says the New York Journal. No fewer
than seven attempts have been made on
her life, n these have been occasions
when the queen has seemed face to face
with death. Hyde Park was the scene
OF the first attempt on the queens life,
which was made by a youth of II, who
on the 10th of July, 1910, fired at her
majesty with a pistol. The prince con-
sort, to whom the queen had been mar
ried a few months before. happily saw
the youth in time to draw his wife
down beside him, so that the ball
passed owe her head. The mad youth.
was for some time confined in Bedlam.
and was af'crward allowed to 60 to
Australia. Only two years passed away
before the second attempt, when, al
most on the same spot, a man named
Francis fred at the queen as she was
again driving with the prince. The
shot missed and Francis was sentenced
to death for high treason. the sentence
being afterward committed to tranapor-
tation for life by desire Of the queen.
Strangely enough, on the very day her
majesty's clemency became known. a
~hunchback named Bean, q mere youth.
made another attempt to in;ure the
queen. He was transported for seven
years. Twenty-one years ago. when
the queen was crossing to Gasport from
Osborne, there was a collision with the
royal yacht. in which three persons per-
fshed. But once more her life was pre-
served. On many other occasions the
queen has been in great danger, such
% when, in August, 1851, her majesty
was In . railway accident and when.
soon after her accession. the horses at
tached to her carriage bolted. On
each Of these occasions the queens self
possession has been remarkable. Cool
