Salt Rheun
Disappeared
How 1T Was Cured.

"Salt rheum appeared on one of my
wrists, extending nearly to the elbow. 1t
troubled me Tor year. Then it disap-
peared from this arm and came out on my
other wrist and arm, also on my face and
head and different parts of my body. The
itching was beyond description. No
medicine that l tried would do me any
good. One day got bottle OF Hoods
Sarsapariiia and began taking it. found
it helped me. / procured another and
when had taken it the itching was re-
Iieved, and the third bottle cured the
eczema on my face and head. Hoods
Sarsaparilla keeps my system toned up
and gives me a good appetite" c. L.

A FlEND BURNED.

A co'ored man was burned at the
stake at Maysville, Ky, on the 9Th

Mr.. Lashbrook and informed him
that someone had murdered Mrs.
Lashbrook The murderer was not
at first suspected Of the crime, but
blood spots were seen on his cloths g
and he was taken into custody. He
was imprisoned, but on the date
above mentioned when the Sheriff

THERE is a great deal of talk
among some people about the hu-
manity or rather the inhumanity of
the war in the Philippine Islands.
The man who talks that way con-
scientiOusly is to be respected, for
war is the essence of inhumanity.
The noncombatant, the man who is
cOnscientiOuslya against war is of a
higher type of manhood than has
been able to bring himself forward
as controlling factor in the manage
ment of the affairs of nations.
There IS a prOfessed abhOrance of
war among nations who claim to
be civilized, but their profession
goes no further than an expression
of regret. In practice they are
warlike. What hypOcrits the
American people are when they
denOunce expansion. They came
to America with the Bible and the
rifle, and during the period of
almost three hundred years they
have been using the Bible for their
text and their rifle for their expan-
sion. They have exterminated the
native race and taken their poses
siOns. So it may he just as well to
keep quiet on the question of fight
ing the FilipinOse, for it is simple
keeping up the manuer of expan-
sion and conquest thOt the Euro
pean race started in with when
they came to America.

BTMP HEADS ANDMARRIED,

The Forum, in speaking of ma.
trimOnial customs in the Philippine
Islands, says, the young man who
seeks a bride first obtains the favor
ofheE parents and then -Rnpues her,
catching her in his arms. She
breaks loose and runs, and does
not yield until he has caught her
several times. Finally he leads
her in triumph to her home. Here
her father drags the youth up a
ladder to the floor of their hut.
The mother drags up the maiden.
They are then made to kneel, and
the father pOurs over them a cocoa
nutshellful of water. He then
bumps their heads together and the
ceremony is completed. They
spend their honeymoon in the
depths of the mountains and for
five days and nights are lost to
sight, after which they come back
to everyday life.
There is another marriage Gus
tom which is worth describing
Instead of the youth and maiden
being dragged up the nut ladder,
they are made to climb two sap
lings that grow near each other.
Then an elder of the group grasps
the saplings and draws them to-
gether until the heads of the young
couple touch, with kiss or a
bump, according to the force used.
This makes them man and wife.

How the Oak Will Grow.

There are trees which would seem to
substantiatc the theory of some SCI
entists that there is no reason why a
tree should ever die unless destroyed
by unfavorable conditions or accident.
The oak. for example, will live as a
sapling for ages until given opportu-
nifty for growth. There is an old say
ing to the effect that If n pine forest is
cut down an oak forest will grow,
and this is said to be literally true
Many Of the acOrns carried into the
pine woods by birds and squirrels are
left to sprOut in the ground. AS the
tiny saplings grow browsing natives
of the forest shades nibble off their
tender leaves. Again and again new
leaves are put ferth, only to serve as
food for hungry deer or moose or 9TH
er marauding creatures. And SO. hid
den from sunlight, deprived. as it
would appear, Of every essential of
life, the little plants live on. and when
at last the pines are felled and the sun
light reaches them they begin their era
Of growth.

The Ugliest Benst.

Probably the ugliest beast In the
world is a monkey. n grewsome look
ing animal called the bearded saki.
that it would scarcely be safe to let
child or nervous person see it. The
ugliness is not of an amusing kind. but
Of an evil, sinister nature. The beast
has a sort Of beard and n cOuntenance
unlike anything else in shape and lines.
The monkey itself is not particularly
savage, but is so hideOus that the ma
tives Of its country, South America,
say that no beast of prey, however
hungry, viii tackle 1t. Even a hungry
jaguar will starve in n cageful Of sakis.

4 Freak OF the Lightning.

A curious case of lightning destruc-
tion took place at Gatchina, an i'm
perial summer residence not far from
st. Petersburg, where stood stone
column 30 feet high. held together by
iron angles. When rain fell. more or
less water pentrated the stones in the
interior of the monument. One day it
was struck by lightning. and instantly
the whole column disappeared from
view. killing a lone sentry on guard.
The only explanation is that the heat
Of the lightning instantly generated
steam on coming in contact with some
of the water. and the terrific explosion

PRAYER TO GER HIS HORSE.


| A singular transaction took
Iplace in Lehigh county court. II
was prayer to recover . horse.
There was a suit pending in the
IcOurt about the horse.
Robert F. Thomas had brought
suit to recover the part payment
he had made ON a horse. He
bought the animal from Peter Ger
man Of Heidelberg township for
$50; paid $50 on him and the ibal-
ance $50 was to be paid in sixty
days. The horse was guaranteed
sound. Later Thomas returned
the horse and wanted his $50, say
ing the horse was not as represent
Ell; that the animal "knuckled.' -
German denied this and refused to
give back the money. Thomas
then brought suit. The case came
up before Judge Albright. Thorn
as took the stand, took the oath,
and before answering the first ques-
tiOn as to where he lived, turned
to the learned Nudge and asked
whether he could offer prayer.
"Certainly," said Judge Albright
with IA quiet nod, and while on the
witness stand Thomas prayed
abound.
go, Lord, Thou who rulcst over
all and art willing that all shall
have justice, we appeal to Thee in
this our trouble to lend ear and
give Thy presence. Guide us and
all of us to tell the truth to this
honorable court and to this jury:
that l bought that dark bay horse
for $50; that German said he was
soil and sound; that / paid $50
on him; that the horse was not SOL
id and sound as repsented, and
that by right and justice this court
and jury should compel German to
give me my money back and re-
ceive his horse back again, as the
horse is now just as bought him.
o Lord, we hold no grudge against
German, and we don't want him
to have any enmity against us;
but we want our money back be-
cause we are entitled to it. Thou
hast said that brethren should
dwell together in unity and it is
our desire to do SO, but we can't do
it, if German doesn't take his
horse back and return my $50.
Soften his heart towards us; for
give our enemies; give me safe
deliverance in this trial, and bless
this good Democratic Judge who
has just been indorsed by the solid
Republican party of Lehigh Co."
Thomas went on in-his prayer
for ten minutes, and at its cOnclu-
sion the trial gravely proceeded.
The jury patiently listened to all
the evidence. The parties were
farmers near SlatingtOn, but Ger
man deals in horses. The jury
brought in a verdict for the defen-
dant, and apparently Thomas
prayer had not been answered as
he desired, German the defendant
having shown that the horse was
not .'knuckled.' but was big bon ,
ed and sound, as represented,

There are sounds Of laughter and singing
And sounds that of make part.

But love is lord Of the heart,
And cloudy or fair the weather

And souls be drifting apart.
Dark evil may lurk in the byways.

OF the sword from its scabbard withdraw
But cloudy or fair the weather
Some souls will be drifting together
And souls be drining apart
Though unmoved by the poets dreaming,
Men tarry too long in the mart
And grow cold in the pride of their scheming.
Yet love is lord of the heart,
And cloudy or fair the weather
Some souls will be drifting together
And some be drifting apart.

~-.on that the opper. anities
TO be given them by the American
government are better than they
have ever had.
THE Filipinos wien the American
moves on them run away to fight
some other day. L. is different with
the Beers when the British move on
them they stand to fight and slay.
Young Euglishman are getting their
training in South Africa for the wars
of a generation to come just as the
young Americans received their
training at Manila and Santiago for
the wars of a generation to come.
The American Generals who fought
the Revolution of l776 received their
training in the French and Irdian
var. r. it had not been for the train
ing of the Americans in the French
and Indian war, the American Rsv
Olution could not have taken place
and become success. The Ameri-
can generals and naval commanders,
who defeated Spain were trained in
the war of the slave-holders' rebel
lion. So in such events as in other
events history repeats itself.

A horrible account of man eatin

A horrible account of man eating
comes by way of Australia from Ad-
miralty Island that are located north
of German, New Guinea. The La
tiv, of Admiralty are cunning and
treacherous. Two young Germans
named Metzk and Molte opened a
trading station among them, and ap-
peared to get on very we'll with
them. t'The two traders decided to
purchase the island MoIte went TO
New Britain to arrange the deal,
leaving Metzk WITH ten Solomon Is
land boys. Upon Holte's return he
found that Metzk had been murder
ed together with four of his boys,
and the bodies had been cut up,
cooked and eaten by the savages."

A COTTON PLANT.

The Story of One Shown on the New
York Exchange.
There is story still told to visitors
to the New York Cotton Exchange
which always amuses its tellers quite
as much as its hearers. 1t concerns 4
very superb specimen of the cotton
plant which was brought into the ex-
change one October morning years ago
and placed in the center of the pit
around which gather every day the
men who buy and sell millions of bales
of the white staple every month.
There had been bad weather in Tex
as that season, with reports of irrep-
arabic damage to the crop, but this
superb plant, laden with bolls through
out its six feet of height and coming,
rs it did, from Waco. in the most i'm
pOrtant cotton section of the Lone Star
State. was exhibited as conclusive
proof that the stories of q ruined crop
were certainly false. All New YOrk's
big cotton operators came to look at
it and to admire it. and most of them
remained to sell Il few thousand bales.
"If that is what Waco can produce"
they said, ''the Texas crop alOpe will
be big enough to put cotton down u
cent or two per pound"
Late in the day. however. there
strolled into the exchange n shrewd
old farmer from one Of the cotton
states east of the Mississippi. He had
heard of six foot cotton plants from
Texas, and he wanted to see one. A
single look at this specimen was suffi-
cient.
"Humbug" he said. THAT plant Is
made of wax, and it grew in South
Fifth avenue"
And so 1t proved. The hoax had
demonstrated what its authors assert
ed, that very few people in New York,
even among cotton brokers, would
know n cotton plant if they saw one
New York Mail and Express.
