excessive drain on strength and

The strength must be built up by pure

find pure blood the proper nerve

equals Hoods Sarsaparilla.
The thousands of wonderful cures it
has accomplished, the like OF

prove that it has never been

prove that Hoods Sarsaparilla is
indeed the ideal spring medicine,

the one true blood purifier.

AFRICAN PYGNTFS

Every now and then an EngIishman, OF
whom we have never heard before, springs
into sudden prominence, having won his
title TO distinction by certain feats, as It
weere OF travel Thee pluck of the young
Britishers is not 10 be denied and their
| sagacity in choosing difficult and arduous
journeys. rather than the two hackneyed
courses of the pleasure-seeker. Is certainly
to be commended. Less adventurous trav-
elers are content with routes which some
book has made famous They go to Japan
because everybody goes 20 Japan who can
by any possibility DO so. Or they go to
South Africa because all the ways of get
ting there have beeen made easy. But the
adventurous young Englishman. and often
the yooung Frenchman. chooses 10 go
where but few or none have goone before
him.
The latest Of these claimants 10 distinc-
ton. Alfred Bushnell Lloyd, has just come
back from journey through the heart of
Africa. He Travelled over SANKEY'S route,
down the Congo to the west coast. but he
did it aIone-that is. with no European.
and accompanied by only a few natives
According to Harper's Bazaar he rode his
bicycle among some of the cannibals. at
which thousands of men, women and chill
dren danced about him. declaring ne was
riding a snake" This reminds one of the
impression made by the first horse and It's
rider seen by the American Indians, when
horse and rider were considered one.
In the course of this journey he came
across the famous pygmies. whose very
existance we have periods of doubling. as
we used to doubt the existance of gorillas
and their kind. He was foor five days in
the great prmeval forest without a sight
of one, then he became aware of their pre-
sence by mysterious movements in the
trees. which he al first asccribe,s, as mon
keys. In the Arab village which he reach
ed they told him that the pygmies had
beeen following and watching him for five
days. They are very timid, even covering
their faces from fright as they speak.
They were too alarmed to stand still and
be photographed though the Arab chief
goot quite a dozen of them in group
None Of them were over four feet in height,
though all were sturdy The men have
long boards, half down their chests. En-
cept foor a strip of bark both men and
women are quite nude. The men are armed
with poisoned arrows. They are nomadic,
never sleeping two nights in the same place
but huddle together in roughly construct
ed huts thrown up for the occasion. They
still have traditions of a white traveller
Stanley, OF course-who once made a visit
among them.

come to this country. One often wonders
whether our young men are less adven-
turous or more conventional. that so few
of them comparatively, with all their
wealth at their command, choose to win
distinction in this way.

An Atlantic cable has, fortunate
ly, few animal enemies, though in
the English channel, the Irish sea
and the North sea the teredo, the
special cable pest of the Mediterra-
mean, does some mischief. This
miserable little mollusk, as the
cable men call it, first made itself a
reputation by eating up wooden ship
hulks until builders took to plating
them with iron, and by burrowing
into the dikes in Holland until the
whole country was threatened with
inundation. When the cable came,
it took to it at once. 1t wriggles its
way in between the steel wires of
the most tightly wrapped core and
eats away jute and gutta percra un-
til there is nothing but wire skele-
ton left. Happily, however, as al
ready indicated, our own particular
cable has little to fear from the te-
redo, and the best wish we can give
it as it lies at the bottom Of the At
lantic is tfat it may never have a
history, and that the time may be
long before the Faraday sees it
again. Henry Muir IN McClure's
Magazine.

The subject of permutations is an
interesting one. In how many ways
do you suppose, for example, it is
possible for the II clubs of the Ma
tional Baseball league to wind up
at the close of the season2 Let us
see.
Call the clubs by the letters A, B,
c, D, etc. The first letter, A, can,
of course, have but one arrange
ment; but, taking in B, we find that
we now have two arrangements pos
sible, ALB and BA-that is, twice as
many as one letter Now bring in
the third letter, c. With ALB we
can arrange G in three ways-CAB,
ACB and ABC-and with BA we
can arrange c in three more ways,
making ways in all-that is, 3 let
ters may be arranged in three times
as many ways as 2 letters. Similar
ly we shall find that letters may
be arranged in times as many ways
as letters.
By proceeding in this way, we
find that the IL clubs may be ar
ranged in as many ways as 1 times
2 times times 4, and so on up to
and including the whole number of
clubs. If you will multiply the first
IL numbers together, you will find
that the product is 479, 001, 600, which
number represents the number of
possibilities of the case If it were
undertaken to print all the possible
guesses at the relative standing of
the clubs at the conclusion of sea-
son therefore, and we allow two
square inches for each guess, the pa
per required would cover 152 acres

4 Grave Condition.

We noticed one of our merchants excitedly looking over bis stock one morning this week and asked him what was the matter. He said he had been robbed the night before. We asked him if he had reported the mat ter to the police, aud he answered as follows:
 No sir! l don't waat my name knowa in this matter. l have abso- lutely no confidence in the police of the town. Why, l know that within the past three weeks there have been five roDberies committed here, aud one hold-up of prominent business man, all within stones throw of the court hOI>e; at the latter the victim was relieved of $50. Neither of these crimes were eyer reported to the police, nor to the newspapers. l heard one of our well known business men say that in the three years he had been iu business in NogaIes he tad been robbed five times. The first three times he reported the matter to the police, giving them important clues as to the suspected partes. They never did anything. The fourth time he kept quiet, did his own detective work aud recovered part of the stolen goods, but could not catch the thief. In those three years scarcely week passed but that some crime was com mltted here, aud there has not been ONE SINGLE arrest aud conviction by our officers except two aud those were followed up by the MexIcan chief Ut police across the liue." He said ''It looked very much as if some of our officers were interested in these crimes, even 1T they were not ac- tually in collision with the criminals.
