DR.. league showed us the other day
the fuse of an unexploded SO0-pound
Parrot shell, which was discovered
under a pew in st. Michasl's church,
In Charleston, when the church was
overhauled after the earthquake. We
we're especially interested In this bit
of past history, as the shell was taken
from beneath the pew which was
owned by Mrs. Arthur Ford's father.
She and her family little realized when
they sat placidly for so many years
after the war, under Mr.. Keith's good
min~istrations, that they were In such
imminent and immediate danger of fire
and birthstone. This was the only
shell that struck st. Michaei's church
during the two years bombardment.
1t entered on the southeast corner OF
the church and lodged under the floor
of the northwest side on Broad street.
When the church was got ready for
service after the war this floor was
simply replaced and this uncanny Wis
itor left, its presence ~unsuspected by
the ongregation.-Aiken g. CO. Re-

a common experience to have DR.. Ayers
Sarsapari1la prescribed by a physician.
1t is a common experience to see a COM
plete cure" follow the use of a few bottles
of this great blood purifying medicine.
Because, it is a specific for all forms of
blood disease. If a disease has its origin
In bad or impure blood, DR.. Ayers Sars-
aparila, acting directly on the blood, re-
moving its impurities and giving to it
vitalizing energy. will promptly eradicate
the disease.
The great feature of Dr.. Ayers Sarsapa-
ril1a Is the radical cures that result from
it's use. Many medicines only suppress
disease-they push the pimples down
under the skin, they paint the complexion
with subtle arsenica1 compounds, but the
disease RACES in the veins like a pent-up
fire, and some day breaks out in a vol
canic eruption that eats up the body.
Ayers sarsapari11a goes to the root, 1t
make the fountain clean and the waters
are clean. 1t makes the root good and
the fruit is good. 1t gives Nature the
elements she needs to build up the broker
down constitution-not to brace it up with
stimulants or patch it up on the surface.

more about the cures effected by this
remedy. It's sent free, on request, by the

The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
company has improved its freight ia
%cilities il Philadelphia very materially
during the pastyear. A new pier, No.
% South, which was completed in De-
cember 557 feet long and 140 feet wide,

for the prompt handling of freight.
The piers and sheds arc lighted with
improved ~incandescent lights, and well
paved driveways have been provided.
This Improvement enables the B. and

The Red, White and Blue Flower.

A novel flower has been found in ths
Isthmus of T~ehuantepec. 1t has a
faculty of changing its color during the
day. In the morning 1t is white, when
the sun is at it's zenith it is red, and at
night it is blue. The red, white and
blue flower grows on a tree about the
size of a guava tree, and only at noon
does 1t give out any perfume.

Aunt Flora was making some wal
nut-creams the last afternoon in
March. She had to crack the nuts
very carefully to get them out whole.
and some halves of shells were not
broken at all. Jacks sharp eyes dis
covered them in the coal-hod.
"Oh, goody!' cried he, they'll be
just the thing to fool Teddy with to-
morrow, Aunt Flo. I'll stick 'em to-
gether and he'll think they're regular
walnuts."
Il wouldn't" said Aunt Flora. "He
is such a little boy, and he will be SO
disappointed. l wouldn't, Jack"
But Jack would. He picked out
shells enough to make three walnuts;
then he got the glue-bottle and stuck
them together SO carefully you
wouldn't have known they were ever
cracked.
Don't they look just good enough to
eat?" laughed he. Now, when they
get dry I'll put them in a paper bag
and give them to Teddy in the morn

Then he ran out to his play, whist

Hunt the Ring.

The game of hunt the ring is perhaps
better liked than hunt the slipper, ON
account of it's being in the estimation
of most people more convenient and
manageable. Either a ring or a small
key may be used for the purpose.
Whichever it is, a string must be
passed through it, and the ends fast
ened in a knot, forming thus a circu-
lar band. The company then stand in
a circle, allowing the string to pass
through the hands of each person, and
enabling every one TO slide the ring
easily along from one to the other. The
object of the player standing inside
the circle is to stop 1t in its progress,
which in nos cases, he finds a rather
difficult task. The game is also fire.

when every one tries, Of course, to pass

Curious Sea Growth.

The seaweed from which kelp, iodine
and other useful substances are OBJ
tanned, Is a most useful marine plant.
Kelp is a crude alkaline matter, pro-
duced by the combustion of seaweeds.
These are dried in the sun, and then
burned in shallow excavations at a
low heat. About twenty or twenty
four tons of seaweed yield one ton of
kelp. A ton of good kelp will yield
about eight pounds of iodine, large
quantities of chloride of potassium, and
also by destructive distillation, a large
quantity of volatile oil. from four to
Is gallons of paraffin oil, three to four
gallons of naphtha, and from one and a
half hundredweight to four hundred
weight of sulphate of ammonia. There
are twelve factories in Scotland, chiefly
at Glasgow, and two In Ireland, pro-
ducing together 100 tons of iodine an
nually from this source.
