Obstinate sores and ulcers, which
refuse to heal under ordinary treat
ment, soon become chronic and deep
seated, and lead to conditions most
serious. They are caused in different
ways, but in every case the blood is
involved, and no amount of local treat
ment can have any effect. The poison
must be eliminated from the blood
before cure can be had.

ness. Yet in spite of il all, he was badly
beaten. 1t is even doubtful if the

A LETTER CHAIN.

Miss Rosa Leech, young school
teacher at Smoky Hollow, a mining
camp near Abba, Iowa. is collecting
funds for college education by means
of the chain letter system. The chain
letter has been used for many purposes,
but this is the first time II has come 10
the front as an aid to education
Il read about a girl who has asked
that a million Cancelled postage stamps
be sent to her Miss Leech said, and
1t seemed TO me that if people would
spend cents to mail worthless post
age stamp to her they certainly would
be willing TO buy a 2-cent stamp TO
mail me one penny. TO be used in help
ing me 10 obtain college education So
| wrote three friends. asking them 10
mail a penny and write TO their
three friends, repeating the request.
Il have taught school for fourteen
consecutive terms, and between times
have worked at such occupations as my
willing hands found TO do. but there
were many demands upon my meager
salary that there was no possibility of
enough surplus to be saved to ray for
( the cost of my college education Former
/ Gov. Drigg was among the first To re-
spond to my request, sending me a pen
ny and a very kindly letter, in which
he said he had also written TO three
friends.

| and heart.
"A letter came from Doylestown O., IN
which the writer, young man, suggested
that that place would be very good one
from college standpoint, and said

WOOD PULP.

1t almost looks as if the old saying
Cotton is king" might be revised to
apply to wood pulp. Wood pulp has been
used as substitute for iron, steel wood,
stone, glass, ivory and inuumerab bic
kinds of animal and vegetable fiber AS
a material for car wheels the manufact-
urers have found it superior to any kind
of metal being about three times as
durable as steel and much more elastic
1t has been found avaifa BILE as a materf-
al for paving bricks, drain tiling and
conduits for electric cables. For ivory
which is becoming scarcer every day
cellulose is the best substitute which has
yet been found
When properly treated it is practically
proof against heat and moisture: hence
ii has been found superior to timber as
a material for telegraph poles and
screws. Cannon, too. and bicycles are
made out of wood pulp in Germany and
Chicago, respectively. while a Frenchman
has succeeded in producing a thread
from the same substance, which he de-
clares can be worked up into all kinds
of fabrics
A Vienna inventor declares that his
wood-pulp leather is superior to animal
leather in fineness and durability. Among
other articles made OF wood pulp are
boats, canoes. cuspidores, pals flower
pots, tables chairs, bureaus barrels,
wagons, horseshoes and imitation porce-
lain ware The manufacture of wood
pulp is now an important industry in
England and France. And in wood pulp
the resources of Maine seem to be al
most limitless.

GOLD COINS.

1t will probably be a shock to many to
learn that all the gold coins current
throughout the world could be comfort
ably slowed away in any one of thou
sands of English drawing-rooms
A careful estimate of the gold cur
rency of the world places its amount at
G 155,o00,0O0. Although this enormous :
sum will probably exceed our entire ma
uonal revenue for the next seven years.
ii could, if converted into English sover-
eigns, be placed in room thirty-three
feet long, thirty feet wide and twenty
feet high
The process of packing the sovereigns
would. indeed, be a labor of time ana in
finite patience. IL the sovereigns were
placed in position at the rate of one a
second, working for eight hours a day a
child of s. commencing the task today
would see his eightieth birthday before
the last sovereign was in position and the
door could be locked
To convey this gold to its strong room
would require the utmost strength of 4,60J
horses which would have to pull weight
of 5,95l tons.
The soyereigns thus accumulated would
make golden carpet for the whole of St.
James Park with a remnant of 2-3
acres to spare; and, If placed edge to
edge, they would form footpath of gold,
six inches wide, between London and
Constantinople.

Nv Bandif Rand.

When in the dusk OF evening l come to where I
see
Three little faces at the window looking down at
me.
And hear the shouts of Papa and the sound cf
scampering feet,
And find myself a prisoner l beat
treat;
The robbers seize my parcel and search my pock
cts through,
And bear me to their castle spite of all that /
do.
There the queen of this banditti gently chides
their boist'rous glee,
And ask how many kisses it will take to ransom
me.
Oh is there any pleasure in all the busy day
That's quite as sweet as listening, then, to what
the children say?
Helen thinks hundred kisses enough to ran
som me,
If I'll change them all for pennies bright soon
as am free;
While Henry claims that Papa is more valuable
than that
And so the rascal cenffsrates my oyercoat and hat.
But tender hearted Josephine makes terms for my
release;
''We'n let you 60 dear papa, for just one kiss
apiece
When I've paid my ransom duly, this valiant
robber band
Escorts me to the table, with a guard on either
hand,
There for blessed hour fling my cares away,
And grow younger l listen to what the chill
dren say. -Answers

Rrouchp or Huster.

The Republican editors who have
been loud and frequent in denying that
Platt will own Roosevelt as Croker is
said to own Van Wyck. will soon be
praying that their statements may
prove unfounded. In a campaign in
which the independent voter is of any
Importance, it is not an advantage to
have a candidate owned by Senator
Platt: but in the transactions at Albany
the Republican party may we'll hope to
be saved from the aggressive independ-
ence of a quarrelsome, selfwilled and
self-centered Governor. There is no rea-
son to think his character has under
gone any change since he was in con-
troll of the police of New York city. He
was appointed by Mayor Strong, whose
official life was made a burden by
RoOsevelt's strenuous efforts to do what
was contrary to the judgment of a ma
iority in the community, and especially
OF the managers of the Republican or
ganization He did more than Mayor
Strong himself to blight the fond hopes
and bright prospects of the reform par
ty that had carried the city, and there
was not the compensation of any bene-
fit to the town. 1t was to his antics
chiefly that Tammany owed its oppor-
tunity to re-enter the field without a
pretense of reorganization. After a sin
gle term of a reform mayor, Tammany
was restored to the power it was
thought to have lost forever. He alien
ated the Republican newspapers that
had supported the reform movement
and made the very name of reform a
thing t. be laughed at This is all a
matter Of undisputed history.
But for his war record he would never
have been thought of as a candidate
foI Governor. He has experienced no
revolution in character or judgment,
and what he was as the head of the
police he will be as the head of the
State. While Republicans who are con-
cerned about party success in 1900 will
urge his absolute surrender to the di-
rection of Senator Platt. if he should
be able to submit to such guidance he

SOME CITIES.

Under the subdivision made by the
United States census officials there are
four classes of cities in the United States.
The cities of the first class are those
having more than 10000 population, the
cities of the second class those having
between 600 and 10000 people. the cit
les of the third class those having be-
tween $1,000 and 10000 inhabitants. and
the cities OF the fourth class those haV-
ing fewer than $1,000 inhabitants Mas
sachusetts is one of the few States which
had under the last census no second class
cities. Its chief city. as well as its capl-
tai, port of entry and literary headquar-
ters, is the city of Boston. Following
Boston there is d break. d sort OF urban
vacuum, and then appear some cities OF
the third class, grouped so closely to-
gether as TO be rivals for the distl--ctlon
OF second place. BY the census OF IS~o
these cities were Worcester, with s4OO
population; Lowell, with T0JJ; Fail XIV
er, with 1900, ana Cambf idge, with i0,-
CO. Among the fourth class cites OF
Massachusetts by the same census were
Lawrence New Bedford, Springfield,
SomervilIe, Holyoke. Salem, Chelsea,
Hayerhill, Brockton and Taunton
Since the taking of the last Federal
census the growth in population Oh has-
sachusetts cities has been very unequal.
Into some there has been large lmmi-
grafton: in others there mas been con-
siderable reduction in population through
the prostration Of manufacturing inter
ests in the Bay State. The population oi
Massachusetts cities has. TO a conslueTd-
BILE extent, been shifting OF late through
the migratory ways of the French cana
dians According to the last census there
were more than 15 090 French Canadians
in Fall River; nearly 1900 in Lowell;
$500 in Worcester 1850 in Cambridge;
1000 in HoIyoke; $500 in Lawrence; 4.l0
in Somerville; 400 in New Bedford, and
200 in Springfield. Having few of the
! ties of association, which are strong
among the native New Englanders, they
move from place TO place as materlai
interests seem to indicate, and thus make
difficult accurate computations OF the
city population i'll Massachusetts. Ine
recent State census Of Massachusetts has
determined the honor of second place as
between Worcester. Fall River and Low
ell It shows that Worcester is the sec
| ond largest city in the State. Fall River
comes next and then Lowell and the 9TH
! er cities follow. The city of Worcester
! has come recently into more than usual
! prominence by reason of the fact that
| it is the Massachusetts city which has
| the largest proportion of native American
J inha bitants, and its growth is therefore
! a normal one, not affected by immigra-
! tion.

Must Keep the Philippines.

From the New York Herald)
The desire for the retention of the Philippines
is not confined to either party. II is broad as
the continent and is entertained by men of every
shade of political faith. In the sections most
likely to elect representatives in opposition to
the Administration the desire is if possible
stronger than it is in the Northern and Eastern
States.
1t would appear that President Mckinley was
little slow to discover the breadth and strength
of the popular demand that should hold all
that Dewey had Won Directly upon the news of
that May Day victory in Manila Bay the Herald
declared that the country should reap its full
fruits by keeping possession of the islands as a
most valuable naval basis in the East and the
antechamber to the vast Oriental mart for our
products. The reasons humanitarian and inter
national, well as commercial-for keeping the
whole group peTssently advanced in these
columns One newspaper after another fell into
line with these reasons; trade organizations EN-
bodied them in resolutions, and the sentiment
gathered force until the American people became
almost unit in demanding that our flag should
float over all the islands.

one of my regular customers marrying

might as well be crossed off the books
entirely, for all the buying he'll do after
that. He will order "a basket of the
choicest roses that can be bought sent
up every day to his sweetheart before
marriage, never so much as asking the
price. He would sooner miss his dinner
than miss selecting them asking urgent
ly that they be sent up at the earliest
possible moment. His card must be at
tached by a bit of ribbon, and there's no
end of tender sentiment that he will not
write on that card-such as Roses to

such sentimental lines. But after mar
