SCARCITY OFPIG IRON
Causes Furnace to Start That Has
Been Idle Three Years.

Youngstown, O., March 23.-Furnaces
in the Mahoning valley have sold 100000
tons of Bessemer pig iron this week at
S14.50 per ton at the furnace. The Ma
tional Steel company bought 10000 tons;
Carnegie company, 10000 tons, and 90
900 tons were disposed of to other con-
Germs.
On account of being unable to secure
pig iron in the open market in large
enough quantities to supply their mill,
the Brown Ronnen Iron company has
decided to repair and blow in it's
Phoenix furnace, which has been idle
for upwards of three years. The fur
mace will produce about 125 tons of pig
iron per day.

QUALITY AND NEWS.

Fame and Excellence Are Determin.
= ing Factors in Successful Develop
ment-One of the Important Func-
lions of Hish-Class Newspapers.
In presenting interesting phases of
scientific and economic problems, high
class newspapers frequently give in
formation of as great value in their adj
vertising columns as in those devoted
to the publication of the principal
events of the day; and when the fame of
a product is extended beyond its natural
limits into foreign lands, and large de-
mand created throughout Great Britain
and her Colonies and the principal sea-
ports and cities of Europe, Asia and At
Giea,, it becomes pleasant duty to'note
the fact and to tell of the points of ex-
cellence on which SO greatsa success is
based. We refer, to the now world
famed laxative remedy, Syrup of Figs.
the product Of the California Fig. Syrup
Company. The merits of this we'll
known excellent laxative were first
made known to the world through the
medical journals and newspapers of
the United States; and is one of the dis
tinct achievements of the press. It is
now we'll known that Syrup of Figs is
an ethical proprietary remedy, APP
proved by the most eminent physicians
everywhere, because it is, simple and ef
fective, yet pleasant to the taste and ac-
ceptable to the system, and not only
prompt in it's beneficial effects, but also
wholly free from any unpleasant after
effects. It is frequently referred to as
the remedy of the healthy, because it is
used by people who enjoy good health
and who live we'll and feel well and are
well informed on all subjects generally,
including laxatives. In order to get it's
beneficial effects. it is necessary to get
the genuine Syrup; of Figs. which is
manufactured by the California Fig
Syrup Co. only.

FREE BLEEDERs.
A Curious Tendency That Manifesto
Itself I'm Otherwise Apparently
Healthy Persons.

Among the members of some families
there exists a curious tendency to
bleed profusely from the slightest in
jury. An Insignificant cut on the finger,
or even a pin scratch, will sometimes
bleed SO obstinately as to almost en-
danger life, and many subjects Of this
strange condition do actually bleed to
death from trivial wounds, which in
a healthy person would not cause i've
minutes of discomfort.
In addition to the Importance OF
haemophilia, as the affection is called,
as a menace to life it affords most in
teresting study in heredity. The dis
ease runs in families and is transmitted
from one generation to another accord
ing to a curiously complex law.
It affects the male members OF the
family almost exclusively. The chill
dren of man who is 'bleeder" often
show no tendency in themselves to the
loss of blood from slight wounds, and
his sons children are likewise free from
the trouble; but the male children of
the daughters are again bleeders. Thus
the males of the family in every Sec
ond generation suffer, yet the tendency
is transmitted in the female line.
This looks like a malignant effort
on the part of nature to preserve the
tendency from extinction; for were it
transmitted only through the male line,
the boys and men only being bleeders.
the families would soon die out and
the, disease with them. AS it is, the
tendency persists through many gen.
erations, one family being known in
which it has been evident for more than
two centuries.
Except for anaemia due to repeated
hemorrhages, bleeders usually show no
signs of i'll health. They do not often
reach adult life, but when they do they
gradually outgrow the disposition.
Boys who suffer from this condition
are almost always covered with black
and blue spots, the slightest tap on the
skin often resulting in a new discolora
ton. A wound is not always necessary
to bring on the bleeding, and profuse
and even fatal hemorrhage, perhaps in
the form of nose-bleed, may start sud.
. denly without apparent cause. -.
The treatment of an attack of hem.
orrhage in a bleeder is the same as that
for any other person, but it must be
more energetic. The boys in bleede1
family should of course always be un.
der physicians care. Fortunately the
number of such families, in this coun.
try, at least, is small.-Youth's Com
panion.

A Boys Dewey Souvenir.

Souvenirs of Dewey are to, be had on every
hand, if not for the mere asking, at least
for the paying. But they are cold-hearted
souvenirs, that have no intimate connection
with the life of the great admiral If one
might get as memento something that had
been his own, that would be different mat
ter. A certain small. boy has keen appre-
citation of that fact. He feels that he has
been more highly favored than the average
mortal, TOR has ne not even penetrated the
hero of Manila face to face? He was taken
aboard ship by his father. After bis return
home the family observed that the little fel-
low was going about carrying his hand care
fully, bound up. in q handkerchief. "Have
Hurt my hand? MOI" in disgust Then
in great dignity: "That is the hand that
Dewey shook"-N. Y, Sun.
