ternal treatment could cure scrofula.
The medicine which cures scrofula must
deal with the blood. 1t must be able to
eradicate and eliminate the poisons which
corrupt the blood and breed and feed
disease. When the blood is cleansed, the
pimples. blotches, bois and other erup

healed and the flesh becomes sound and

American Products.

Consul James Boyle, writing from
Liverpool under the date of February
Is, says there have recently been q
number of communications and ar
ticles in the Liverpool papers draw
ing attention to the fact that Ameri-
can manufactures, particularly in
specialties, had been accepted by Eng.
lish purchasers in preference to those
of home production, the reason given
being that the American goods were
better made and handler than the
home goods and were fully as cheap.
OF late, there has been a tendency
on the part of English critics to claim
that American manufactures were
preferred simply because they were
cheap and it was often added they
were nasty" as well as cheap. The
statements referred to at the COM
mencement of this report refute this
criticism, and American manufactur.
ers can now find plenty of champions
in England who base their support
on the ground Of actual superiority,

of them. The Indians lose all their
stoicism when indulging in this game.
One of the most impressive things
about this game is the manner in
which the opposing sides gather about
and urge the plays, much as dice
throwers on a Louisiana dock would
do. Pointing their two forefingers at
the player say coaxingly: "O-han-
dah, o-han-Gah"-all black-or Hun
je, hun-je"-all white. The oppon-
ents even more fiercely shout "Scha-

Narrow WeddlnQ Rlnae

Now that fashion has decreed that
the wedding ring shall be an incon-
spicuous band of gold, hardly wider
than is necessary for guard for other
rings, jewelers. say that women with
the good old-fashioned kind, which
made the finger lock as IL 1t was In Q
straitjacket, are coming to have the
rings shaved down to the prevailing
style.
A man complains of this as showing
lack Of sentiment In regard to
woman's most precious possession, but
1t Is safe to assume that nothing but
the dictates of Nine. Grundy, which
one knows cannot be ignored, had
made the thick, wide, unwieldy bands
once in vogue bearable to the owners
nnd wearers.
1t Is not the weight of the wedding
ring which makes the marital tie hard
to break.

The Right Sort of Newspapers.

From the Phila. North American.
The only journalism that is making
any headway is the independent press
not independent in the sense of having
no fixed principles or Of simply cracking
heads when one pops up, as at the
Donnybrook fair, but independent in its
financial circumstances and its mental
and moral equipment, owing no man
seryiity and needing only the favor Of
the public and the encouragement OF a
clear conscience.
For years now the old thick-and-thin
party organ has been dying; its circula-
tion has been dropping off; its business
has been decreasing; it's spirit has been
tagging, and, because OF the wide in
crease in education and public spirit
and personal capacity, the field for 1t
has shrunk until little is left. Indeed,
for most practical purposes the thick
and-thin party organ is dead. And
with its passing the right kind of news
paper enters larger and more
glorious era than any hitherto known
in the worlds history.
In the transition from one form to
another the press possibly lost some OF
its power, but, as in all evolution, that
was unacceptable. The great thing is
that it is getting back all its old in
fluence with certain modern dynamic
energy added so that the newspaper was
never so powerful as 1t is today-the
independent newspaper, OF course-and
tomorrow will find it stronger since
journalism began.
