Which Will Insure Rest and Comfort.

A bank president of high reputation writes
the following:
"About three hundred years ago Cervantes
wrote: Blessings light on him who first IN

"a HEART AS STURDY AS AN
OAK"

But what about the blood which the
heart must pump at the rate of 10
times a minute? If the heart is to be
sturdy and the nerves strong this blood
must be rich and pure. Hoods Sar-
saparilla makes sturdy hearts because
it makes good blood. 1t gives to men
and women strength, confidence, cour-
age and endurance.

merce. In the manufacture OF glucose part Of
the corn, about 8 per cent, could not be utI,-
lied. This waste Is what will be transformed
into the new substitute for rubber. Corn rub
Der has almost the same appearance as the or.
binary reddish brown india rubber. OIL OF
corn, from which principally the rubber Is
made. does not oxidize readily. It's tendency
toward oxidation is one OF the principal de-
fects OF india rubber. The chemists who have
been working on the corn rubber declare this
to be an enormous advantage for the new prod.

ways remain pliable and not crack. 1t is call
culated that corn rubber can be sold at six
cents a pound. 1t can be adapted to nearly all
the uses to which ordinary rubber Is put. from
bicycle tires to linoleum.

Two remarkable instances Of this fact are now
presented In this province.
For some time past the channel OF the st.
Lawrence between Quebec and Montreal has
been the scene on many accidents to vessels.
In some cases the casualties were due to care

caused by accident. such as the breaking o.
the steering gear. or bv error. as in the case OF
two large vessels meeting In a narrow and
dangerous part OF the channel. Some we're

Things That Happen in tho Suburbs While
the Poets Are Still Abed.
1t lisa pretty fiction of the poets that the ris-
ing sun is greeted with a sudden outburst Of
bird music. Certainly nothing OF the kind oc-
ours on suburban May mornings. and, indeed.
the appearance ofthe sun seems to be the signal
for a cessation OF song. The truth Is that the
poets are usually abed at sunrise. and for many
hours after the much earlier hour at which the
birds begin their mathis.

forfeited their lives if caught within
the enemy's lines General Shafter or
some one of his chief subordinates stated
that he learned that these men were
criminals released from prison to ply
their hellish business in exchange for
liberty. Men of this class had often
been used against the insurgents, and
as many of them were known to the
natives they knew that death was sure
to follow capture. Hence when the
American troops suddenly swept past
their hiding places they had no choice
but to remain concealed Partly from
motives of cruelty and partly no doubt
out of pure hatred of the Americans and
the Cubans they determined to exact a
heavy dole for the certain death to
which they looked forward. Only in
very few instances did these men sur
render. This occurred when the black
bread rations which they took to the
trees had given out and they were
starved into yielding.

SO with a concealed Mauser the effect
was about as sudden and as secret as
that of an airgun Many old soldiers
thought at first that stories of Spanish
sharpshooters remaining within the enc
mys lines must be Munchausenish.
Nothing of that kind occurred in the
civil war, although in those days sharp
shooting was carried to the point where
both sides called it unquestionable
murder.
Sharpshooters of both the Federal and
Confederate armies often hid in the
foliage of tall trees to ply their rifles
while the troops were closing in for
battle. Reynolds was shot at Gettys-
burg by Confederate rihemen hid in
a tree in Mcpherson woods, and with
in few moments after the gallant
leader fell his men charged forward
and the tree was inside the lines. But
if the Johnny was caught up the tree
he kept quiet for his smoking Enfield
would have brought volley Of Federal
bullets about his head. Many deeds Of
heroism We're performed to bring down
sharpshooters who had perched them
selves in tall trees and made victims of
conspicuous foemen all unconscious Of
peril

At first the camp stories about Span
ish sharpshooters inside the American
lines impressed me like those of masked
batteries and the Black Horse cavalry
after Bull Run. 1t seemed convenient
battlefield bugaboo But soon | found
that the evidence was too strong, the
explanation too clear for doubt. A staff
officer of the brigade told me that both
Wikoff and Worth were hit in his pres
,nce by sharpshooters Then officers
