SATISFIED.

Satisfied, Was ever mortal
Content with his lot and satisfied?
All! the longings for vaster portal
Beyond which sin and death cannot
abide.
Satisfied! The spirits yearning
For fellowship with kindred minds;
The silent love which here meets no
returning;
The souls sweet rest, which moth
ing earthly finds.
Satisfied! The deep unutterable long
ing
For wider paths and fields In which
to roam.
All! with what music my soul is
thronging.
AS I view by faith the pearly gates
of Home.
Here the heavy clouds are raining.
Here our path seems dark as night
In the dark are low winds complaining,
But the sunrise brings the light.
Satisfied Oh. love adjoining,
Maker and Friend, with thy frail
child abide,
That when we awaken in the morning
We shall see Thee, and be satisfied.

Helpless from Rheumatism.

tism for eighteen months, and during my
sickness tried tho skill Of many good
physicians, oil of whom pronounced my
case hopeless. was for year in such q
helpless condition that was unable to
dress or feed myself. had fillod at Diff
ferent limos, ffty-two prescriptions sug-
geated by friends, mono of them giving
me any relief. finally decided to include
8. 8. 8. in my list and took tho first dose
when hobbling about on crutohes. After
taking two bottles found so much relief
was able to rolinquish the use of one
crutch, and faithful continuance of the
medicine relieved me of the other crutch
and shortly afterward enabled me to go to
my work, at which I have boon ever since.
This was five years ago, and I have had
no return of the symptoms of rheumatism.

Acute rheumatism.

ULAH, N. c., Nov. 10. 1900.
Swift Specific Co., Atlanta, Ga.
Gentlemen-I had Acute Rheumatism,
which I contracted in Southeast Georgia
on F. O. & p. r. r. in the swamps, and
was completely helpless for about four
months, during which time spent over
$4,000 with doctors and got worse every
day. I quit them and took five bottles of
8. 8. g., which cured me sound and well,
and today I weigh IT'S pounds and am in
fine health. There is also lady near my
place taking 8. 8. s. for Acute Rheuma-
tism. She could not even turn herself in
bed for two months. She commenced tax
ing s. 8. 8. three weeks ago under my in
structions, and can now sit up in bed. I
can truly recommend this great medicine
to any one suffering from Chronic Blood
Disorders or Acute rheumatism.

More Confidence IN s. S. S. than Hot Springs.
Mr. Davis. prominent attorney of Iitslc
Rock, says: :" Some two years ego had one of
the worst cases of rheumatism q person could
have, and tried various medicines prescribed by
doctors, but received relief. Finally they told
me to go to bot Springs, which is only 90 miles
from here, but hearing of 8. 8. 8. as q cure for
this disease, concluded to give it q trial. can
truthfully say felt better almost from the first
dose; the hot and feverish joints and musolop
that were so painful before, gradually got better,
tho swelling subsidized, and before could hard
ly realize it was we'll; every ache and pain had
left me, and have never been troubled with
rheumatism since. I am confident that Hot
Springs nor anything else could have made q
quicker or moro lasting cure. ,oheerfully
recommend your medicine to oil Rheumatic

case, and many of my friends are now using il

FIRST POTATOES.
Tomatoes and Chincon Trees Were Raised
 In Poru.


 Lima Cor. Chicago Record: Peru is the birthplace of the potato, which was first used as all article of food by the lneas and exported to Europe by the Spaniards when they took over quinine bark and named 1t in honor of the countess of Chfneon, whose husband at that time was viceroy. The Indians had used the bark for medicinal pur- poses as long as any one could remem- Der, but this noble lady was the first European to test its efficacy, and it proved so excellent cure for the ma- laria which saturates the atmosphere Of Lima that she induced the Jesuit fathers to recommend it to the medi- cos of the old world These wise old chaps sent it to Spain and Italy, and it is said that one of the first doses of quinine that was ever administered in Europe was swallowed by the pope. The unregenerate potato, which is still found in wild state among the noun tains of Peru, is a delicate vine, which bears fruit about the size of plum dAu dS yelloW dS dH ofdaSe. Iultifd- ton has increased it's size and im- proved it's flavor. The scientists say that the tomato also originated in Peru, and was known among the Incas as a love apple. possessing peculiar qualities that influenced the affections. For centuries after it's discovery the same superstition prevailed in Europe. Peru also claims to be the mother of cotton, but l think Egypt will dispute that fact.

RAsslN- MAKING IN CALIFORNIA
Process of Getting the Fruit in Shape
 for Shipment.

The gang moves in a bunch, clip ping off the translucent clusters of museatels, arranging them upon the trays to shrink and shrivel under the rays of the sun into the concentrated delicacy we know. Behind them the lines of trays lie, a basking array of shimmering fruit, and some one inter- ested is showing the clusters together, that the tray shall be honestly filed for the workers are paid by the tray. After two weeks exposure in the dry heat the H. ed trays are ready to be turned so that the grape may be cured evenly. This is accomplished by two men, one on either side, placing an , empty tray over the full one, dexter ously reversing it, then. carrying the upper one with them, repeating the process on down the row. It is at this stage in the curing that the grape is most deleetab1e. The amber is chang ing through ruddy stages to amethyst. and the sum- warmed balls are drops of honey-double distilled, so sweet they make you long with a great thirst for the red water tank shimmering in the sunlight fe .ty acres away; but you must eat and eat, and go on eating even while your palate is cloying with the sweetness. In another week the dried grapes are ready for the sweat boxes. These wide, open boxes con- tain from 150 to 160 pounds, and as the raisins become sufficiently cured they are sorted from the others and placed therein, the large, perfect clusters and the inferior, broken pieces in separate boxes. They are usually carried to a westinghouse, a closed structure, in which they soften and moisten evenly. the drying having made the stems ex- ceedingly brittle; or simply stacked in one corner of the packing house to await the grading and packing. g.-Land of Sunshine.

Heir to S5oe.oo0.

Robert F. M. Cooper, formerly prominent newspaper man and politi- clan. has fallen heir to s500000. The estate was left to Cooper by John c. Crego, miser hermit, who recently died at Cripple Creek. Years ago Crego lived in the Panhandle country of Texas. Cooper made a tour of that region. Crego was not inclined to make acquaintances, but Cooper found him about to drown in river and risked his own life to save the miser. That resulted in friendship. Cooper returned to Springfield, Mo-, and be- came prominent. He kept up cor respondence with Crego for some years but they finally lost track of each other. Crego left Texas and was pioneer prospeeter at Cripple Creek. He cleaned up $500,000 and quit. There after he lived in absolute seclusion. So far as he knew Cooper was still in Springfield, and few days bafore he died he sent for Justice Mastin, and will was drawn up le@ying everything to Cooper.
 stradivarius Sold for Dollar.
 Apropos of fiddles, here Is a good story. While on a visit to the exhibi- tion in Paris in 1867 a wealthy San Francisco merchant purchased a Stra- divarius for some $1,500, and on his death the treasure was left to hfs son. The latter has just died, and in ac- cordance with the provisions Of his will the precious possession was sent to an auction sale. After examination by ex- perts in the auctioneer's establishment 1t was knocked down for a dollar! It was simply German made fiddle of the poorest quality. The most anus ing thing Is that the two possessors of 1t, both father and son. considered 1t much too precious to be played on.
 Tn Chinese.
 In making treaties with China each foreign country has chosen it's own name. England is Ying Kwo, the flourishing country; France is Fla Kwo, the law-abiding country; the United States is Mei Kwo, the beautiful coun- try; Germany, Je Kwo. the virtuous country; Italy, I Kwe, the country of justice; Japan is Ji Kwo, the land of the sun, but prefers to be called Ji Pen, the land of the rising sun.
