BAD BLOOD,
BAD COMPLEXION.

The skin Is the seat of an almost end
less variety of diseases. They are known
by various names, but are all due to the
same cause, acid and other poisons in
the blood that irritate and interfere with
the proper action of the skin.
To have a smooth, soft skin, free from
all eruptions, the blood must be kept pure
and healthy. The many preparations of
arsenic and potash and the large number
of face powders and lotions generally
used in this class of diseases cover up
for a short time, but cannot remove per-
manently the ugly blotches and the red,
disfguring piInples.
Eternal vigilance Is fkse price
Of a beautiful complexion
when such remedies are relied on.

resisted all treatment. She was taken to two

the time the FIRST bottle finished the eruption
began to disappear. A dozen bottles cured her
completely and left her skin perfectly smooth.
She Is now seventeen years old, and not G sign OF

S. S. S. is positive, unfailing cure for

CarIeton,u Anchor to windward.

Henry Guy Carleton Is not only a
playwright, but also the president Of
an electric company that does business
in large Broadway Office building.
The company is devoted to the manu-
facture of certain Of Mr.. Carleton's
own inventions. which are designed to
serve a multitude of useful purposes.
Mr.. Carleton is not yet so well known
as an electrician as he Is as a writer
for the stage, although he is work
ing seriously in this field, and has
had the reputation Of possessing tai
ent for invention greater than his
plays have always shown. Mr.. Carle-
ton divides his time between his liter
ary work and his electric company and
finds one an admirable relief to fatigue
caused by. the other. Playwrights with
another occupation are regarded as for
tunate, because the proportion of plays
that will succeed can never be deter
mined. A succession of failures leaves
an author without income, and he will
find it more difficult to get rid Of his
products. So an alternative occupa-
ton is looked upon In the profession as
an excellent anchor to windward.

A Scheme That Failed.

With market basket filled with
pieces of bank and treasury notes an
old woman. who said she lived in Cam
den, appeared at the subtreasury and
stated that she wanted the bits Of mon
ey redeemed. says the Philadelphia
Record. 1t required only hasty eX-
animation for the officials to determine
that the pieces of notes were all from
the edges and corners of bills of va
rious denominations.
The woman was asked how she be-
came possessed of the pieces, which
information she failed to give. Then
she was bluntly told that the govern
ment would allow her nothing for the
remnants of money, because it was
plainly evident that the pieces were
all clipped from whole notes. This the
woman denied. yet she was obliged to
go away without receiving passable
cash for her offering.
The officials found that. though there
were corners and edges from $50. $40.
S5, 50 and 81 notes, there was not a
piece of center in the entire collec-
ton, so that it would be impossible
to make even one bill by pasting pieces
together. There We're enough bits.
however. to equal hundred notes in
size Judging from the paper and
style of notes. it had required about 20
years to collect the pieces.

Something more than pandemonium
broke loose as the speaker finished. This
was the third attempt at betrayal, and,
being unable to get at the betrayers, the

The Key to Washington Society.

The words army and navy are an
open sesame to the best elements of
social life everywhere in our country,
and among the leaders of Washington
society are found many whose hus-
bands are in one or the other. Wash
lngton is the natural rallying point of
the army, and even after the active
professional life Is ended they find
there the pleasantest resting place.
Mrs Grant, Mrs. Sheridan and Mrs.
Logan have chosen their homes there
and hold sway over large circle of
friends. The widows of other promi-
nent officers drift to Washington from
time to time. and in the inner circle
Of Washington's pleasantest social life
Admiral Dewey has found in General
Hazen's widow gracious woman to
hold sway over himself and his home.

Custer, known for her own charming
personality as well as because of her
gallant husbands fame, stood beside

Some curious eXpedlenIs are neces-
sary at times in the medical applica-
tions of electricity. 1t is not uncom-
mon now for the electric cabs in New
York to be pressed into service as per-
ambulating sources of electric power
by physicians who are called upon sud
denly to make v ray examinations Of
patients who are in localities where
electricity from street circuits is not
on tap. Recently on steamboat ply
ing from New York to a neighboring
town a passenger undertook to commit
suicide by swallowing laudanum.
Among those on the vessel physician
was discovered, but naturally he did
not have with him the apparatus for
shocking the patient into sensibility.
1t was for awhile an even chance
whether or not the suicide would be
successful. Finally the electric light
man on the boat bethought himself Of
his testing magnetic, which Is the same

two little gOngs In front and q crank
to turn. This machine can give live

wile and husky deckhand to turn
the crank, the electric light man ap-
peared on the scene and offered the
service Of his apparatus. Itwas prompt
ly accepted, and by dint of vigorous
grinding Of the crank the patient was
shocked to the extent Of keeping him

PEOPLE OF THE DAY.

1t has come to pass in the last quar-
ter of the nineteenth century that q
man may achieve fame as the mouth
piece of the lowly laborer in the United
States. Such a man is John Mitchell,
president of the United Mine Workers
of America. The great strike of the
coal miners in the anthracite regions
of Pennsylvania has made the chief
officer of the organization to which
these miners belong one Of the most
widely discussed men of the day. Yet
until only a short time ago he was a
miner working by the day in the coal
pit.
John Mitchell was born in Braid
wood, Ills, and is now in his thirty-first
year. He had small chance for school

A Vacant Garter.

According TO the London Chronicle,
there is now Garter vacant, and if q
plebiscite decided on whom it should
be bestowed there is not doubt but
that X. c. would be placed after the
name of the field marshal commanding
in South Africa. who most certainly
merits the distinction quite as much as
Lord Elein, on whom it was 80 proper
iy conferred by Lord Salisbury. In the
last two centuries the Garter has only
been thrice given for military services
to Marlborough, Wellington and Lord
Anglesey-and, strange to say, no naval
commander appears TO have had !. not

TYPES.

Climate, food and environment pro-
duce types. The Holstein COW is just
as much a natural product of the rank
pastures and mild climate Of the lands
reclaimed by the Dutch from the
North sea as is the little Kerry COW Of
the heather clad hills of Ireland. The
American cayuSe is natures best effort
to produce a horse upon the desert
lands of the west while no one would
conceive of a Percheron very far re-
moved from big bin of oats and abun-
dant roughage. The Jersey coww re-
moved from her native isle and instead
of being picketed out given the range
of large and well grassed posture al
ways increases in size. An Arkansas
rooter brought north and given hog
conditions common to the corn belt
confinement and unlimited clover and
corn-would, in spite of his degraded
and aboriginal ancestry, in the course
of just few generations assimllate to
the shape and type of the Poland-Chi-
ma of the corn belt. A parrot brought
from Africa will almost always learE
to swear in the English language. A
northern man locating south, no mat
ter If he was up and a-coming in the
north, will inside of five years lean up
against tree, snooZe peacefully while
the weeds are growing in his corn and
let things flicker with as much indif-
ference as his neighbor, the typical
poor white Of the south. One parrot
years ago In New Zealand some way
found out that the kidney fat of sheep
was a choice mOrsel, and as sheep in
creased in number in that country
there developed type of sheep kill
ing parrots, which, alighting on the
back of the sheep, would tear the skin
open and eat the fat around the kid
neyS. The dog allowed to run wild
very soon adjusts himself to his wild
environment and becomes gregarious,
like his prototype, the wolf, and, more
curiously still, will in a very few gen.
erations take on the fawnlike color
which distinguishes nearly all preda-
tory and carnivorous wild beasts. The

less thick, its enormous fore quarters
would be reduced in size and its hind
quarters enlarged. The need to be
constantly fighting and on the run be-
ing removed, the power to fight and
run would be diminished. A black
walnut tree which grows tall and
straight on the rich alluvial soil of a
river bottom becomes little more than
a scrub tree when planted on the top
Of some sterile knoll. All this teaches
us the lesson that certain types do

when he was 13 years Of age. About
six years ago he began to take a prom
inent part in the local organization of
the miners and in a short time was
elevated to a place in the state organi-
Zation, Of which he soon became the
chief officer. In 1897 Mitchell was
elected vice president of the United
Mine Workers national union, and
when in 1898 President Ratchford re-
signed to accept place on the Ma
tional industrial commission, appoint
ed by President Mckinley, he succeed

elected to the presidency for the full
term.
