IN cloud OF dust an outbuilding jumped

was due from Pepworth's.
Then the tearing scream; horrori Ii was
coming from Bulwan.
Again the annihilating blast, and not ten
yards away. A roof CAPPED and a house
leaped to pieces. a black reeled over, then
terror plucked him up again, and sent him
running.

ing matter The appetite cannot be healthy
till this is removed. A machine will not
run if it is all clogged up with dirt. The
stomach cannot appropriate food unless it
is clean, and so healthy hunger cannot
come. The stomach cannot be clean if the
liver and bowels do not dispose of the food
passed along to them. If poisonous. efete
matter is allowed to accumulate and con-
gcst the liver and bowels more or less of it
gets into the blood, and is carried all over
the body Is it any wonder that it makes

drive all impurities out of the blood itself.

English Readers Feel that They Are
i'm Debt to Him.
London Spectator.

IOHuOu SpeCtdlOr.
He never forgets that, although an Amer
lean politician he is an Irishman at heart;
and this is what gives detachment to his
view and excuses the candor of his criti-
cism. He can say things of Americans and
Englishmen which If Invested OF the brogue
and a certain Hibernian exuberance of ex-
preston, might merely irritate his hearers.
Take, for example, the admirable satire on
the AngloSaxon alliance-mongers which
opens with the description of Lord Charles
the White Mans Burden Thrajeedy Com
pany-two little Evas, four hundher mill
yon Topsies, six hundher miilyon Uncle
Toms" Mr.. Dooley "knowed his father
well-a markess be thrade. an a fine man.
Charles whit to sea early; but he's now
in tn plastherin' business-cementin tn
'liance Nv tn United States an England"
Then follows an admirable hurlesque OF the
mixture of captious criticism and interested
affabiiity of the British snob: Eye wheIps,
foolish and frivolous people, cheap but
thrue-hearted an insincere cousins :"
tbs little We know about anything. Ye
ARE a disgrace TO humanity. Ye love tn
dollar betther thin We love anything but
two dollars. We ARE savage but inthrestin'.
Ye misname our titles. . We have de-
sthroyed our language. We ar-re
mussy at tn table. an We have no religion.
But we ARE whelps iv tn OF line. Those
iv ye that ARE not our brothers-in-law we
welcome as brothers. We annoy much
ye must be Numbers iv our own family"
This is really a wonderful touch; and
hardly less good is the description OF the
Americans as feeling like a long-lost
brother that's been settin' outside in tn
cold fr week an is now asst in TO supper
AN s'arched at tn dure fr deadly
weapons. Mr.. Dooley is evidently no be-
lever In formal alliances, and yet. If we
cannot claim him as lover OF England.
or. indeed. as more than a very candid
friend. we may console ourselves with the
reflection that there Is a world OF differ

Shafter. to mention none others-a great
deal harder. and. in any case as Sir Edward
Grey said on Wednesday, we can stand
a great deal of criticism. And If, TO quote
classic phrase. he shows in the great case
of England VS.. Ireland good deal of the
natural resentment of quick-wftted race
at being governed by stupid one" he
never betrayS any venom He may be
home ruler, but he does not share the views
of Mr.. Davitt, just as. though obviously an
anti-expansionist, he does not scruple to
laugh at the outbursts of Mr.. Carnegie.
Mr.. Dooey, in a word, is anything but an
extremist, and the eXuberance OF his style
must not blind us to the fact that-if we
except an occasional prejudice against in
and as determined foe as the New York
Evening Post itself TO the national fault of
excess.
But our chief debt to Mr. Dooley is that
he is one of the very few writer's of the
day who have the priceless gift of COM
polling laughter-take for example, such
phantasias as 1.-The Hay Fleet" the in
mitable imaginary interview between Adj
miral Dewey and Lieutenant Hobson, of
"AIerrimac" fame, or the parody of "Cy-
rano de Bergerac. The dramatized bur-
lesque of the Dreyfus case is a really Won
derful piece of sustained and deadly ridi-
cule. When "Matther Blamange objects
to certain witnesses being sworn, ""They
must be sworn retorts the president, How
the divvle can they perjure themselves if
they aren't sworn We are indebted TO
him, again, for pillorying the effeminacy of
the dude. and, in general, for adopt
ing an attitude of wholesome Philistinism
toward the inopportune manifestations
of the artistic temperament. That he Will
be universally popular is not to be expect
ed; satirists never can be; but it is of good
augury that he has succeeded in evoking
aversion much In the same quarters as Mr.
Kipling. OF whom, by the way, he is any
thing but a Ienient critic Lastly, we have
little doubt that Mr.. Dooley has "cOme TO
stay" His second book is on the lines of
his first, but there is not the slightest sign
that he has come anywhere near exhaust
ing the peculiar vein of caustic drollery of
which he is the fortunate monopolist.

 Capt. Michael Healy of the U. S. rev enue cutter Hugh McCulloch has gone insane and has to be confined in a straight jacket, at the marine hospital at Port Townsend.
