by turn of the finger. Here, where
one knows by tired limbs the weight
of what one drinks, the thought Of
water flowing through pipes seems q.
dream of paradise. And such water!
Water through which one could see,
which left no mid at the bottom of
the mug, and did not stain what it
was spilled on. One remembers that
in England they analyze that kind of
water. Why, the water we drink here
is often too thick even to filter.

what was left of moisture in the
dam. One bathed in it only under
the most pressing compulsion OF clean
illness. The water was very shallow,
but the mud was black and deep. One
sank to the knees if one tried to walk,
and so sat gently half in mud and
half in brown syrup, and thanked
God fo. water. One rose from itwith
the green leches hanging about ones

sprinkling of other less-known insects.

Narcissus did not sleep. AS ne
tossed restlessly upon his pillow he
invoked the muses..
go muses. nine!" quoth he, ''pity
me, and send us something romantic
"a tempest, a sbipwreck-anything.
I have quilted the realms of pins,
needles and tape, and abandoned my
self to the caprice of the waves, only
that my life may become exciting.
Pity me then, ye gods! Blow, old
Bcreas, blowl Lash thy waves, O
Neptuner'
1t is doubtful whether either the
muses. or the gods heard him, but it
is certain that something very singular
took place almost upon the hesis Of
his prayer.
The brig was not provided with
staterooms for passengers, so the
apartment occup.ed by Narcissus con-
sisted only of an old sail draped
around the place tween decks where
his hammock was swung. This can
vas he could see over, and this is
what took place. The feeble glimmer
of ships lantern served to illumine
the place without, and its rays fell
upon the showman's boxes, which
were lashed up against the vessels
side. Emerging from the darkness
Narcissus saw the figure of the burly
Snowman.
"The base hind" thought he, cal
ways anxious for his business. Here
lie is examining his figures when he
might be watching the stars in yon
azure vault
Narcissus paused in his poetical
flight. His eyes opened widely; he
almost ceased to breathe. For the
Snowman, after carefully g,ancing
around him, had opened one of the
boxes, and man stepped out. The
re-rcomer ayelapoed b whispered

do your own. See that the poultry
house is clean and dry. Keep the
fowls in during wet weather.
To prevent the spread of the dis
ease, take shovelful of live Goals to
the poultry house when the fowls are
on the roost, pour on some tar, and
hold the shovel well under the perches
for quite while. Do this on three
successive evenings, and again smoke
for three more evenings. Be sure to
give clean water to drink.

Chicken Roup.

Roup often causes very sore

which is a consequence Of canker in

trils with weak soda water, quite
warm. Take wing feather, and with
it wipe out the split in the roof of the

borax. Leave it minute or so, and
then wipe out as dry as possible; then
apply the following mixture: One part
turpentine, one part sweet oil and one
third part iodine. Shake we'll before
using. Drop this into the nostrils
twice q day until the. fowl is better,

am going to the colonies to exhibit my
wax figures.
"What do they representa-" asked
Narcissus, mechanically.
'tThat," said he, pointing to one
they were long, narrow boxes, about
six by thcee-"that contains a mag
nifcent figure of the Emperor Napo
leon; that, figure of his holiness the
Pope; that, an Albino," and he went
through the list.
''Well what do you bother me with
it-for?" demanded Narcissus, glad to
find someone to vent his ill-humol
upon.
81 only told you because you asked
me; sir, replied the man, submis
sively.
"Well, shut up, will you" replied
the gentle Narcissus; ''you talk toe
muchr'
The stout mans eyes snapped an
grily, but he said nothing.
They reached the vessels side, ant
with unheard of precautions the show
man had his boxes put aboard. HI
made the sailors almost expire with
laughter at the gingerly way in which
he climbed the ladder, and his calling
the masts "the poles" furnished then
fresh food for merriment.
At o'clock in the evening the
Sarah Ana weighed anchor and SCI
out on her voyage. Narcissus re
manned on deck watching the sun SET

that they shall not be put in the

.sAll right" said the captain; sthey

"And 1 can examine them whenever
I like?"
whenever you like. -
"Well, here's your money" said
the stout man, and he placed the sum
upon the table, saluted and left.
"Who's that fellow?" asked the
cousin.
"ob, it's poor Snowman. He's
going to the colonies with lot of wax
figures, to exhibit them"
"Wax figures! Why, they'll all melt
if you leave them on the orlop deck,
won't they?"
"Well, that's his business" replied
the worthy captain, good-naturedly.
Then, turning to Narcissus, he said:
well, sir, 1 am pleased to meet you.
I shall make your voyage as agreeable
as possible. You will be very COM
fortable-just exactly the same as If
you were on land"
Narcissus left the Sarah Ann and
did not reappear until the hour of
sailing, such was his disgust at the
unromantic character of vessel, master
and crew.
When he went to the pier to engage
boat to take him out to the brig, he
met the stout man whom he had seen
il the captains cabin. This individual
proposed that they should hire boat
jointly to transport themselves and
baggage to the brig, and Narcissus
consented. He bade farewell to his
cousin and tumbled into the boat. The
stout man followed him.
''Have you ever been to sea, sir?'
he asked.
"No," replied Narcissus; "and

Again Narcissus lost his senses. He
liked romance, but he was getting too
much of it at one time.

New Boats for the Delaware.

A Philadelphia paper is responsible for
the statement that the Wilmington Steam
boat Company is to build two new steamers
for fast passenger line on the Delaware
between Trenton and Bristol, Philadelphia
and Wilmington. The steamers are tC
have speed of eighteen miles an hour
and to draw but four feet and half of
water.
The Trenton Gazette thinks that this
information sounds as if it were given b,
some one who is unfamiliar with thu
river Owing to the low water of the
upper Delaware, it would not matter if a
boat could make twenty miles an hour,
she could not make the trip from Trenton
to Philadelphia in a short enough time tt
make it practical for this means of trave
between the two cities for any comfortable
number of people. Outside of the ex
cursions the travel on the upper Delaware
would not pay the salary of capable
manager. 1t is the freight traffic and the
few passengers whose time is worth little
or no money that have made it profitable
for steamers to run between Trenton ant
Philadelphia.
| With plenty of water and fast steamers
trayel might be developed, but when tn
steamer would have to proceed from Bor
dentown to her Trenton wharf with the ut
most care and under the slowest spec,
that would allow the engine to turn, tn
project is not very enticing.

Your blood receives the nutriment con-
tanned in digested food, and distributes it
in every part of your body. When the
blood is pure, rich and healthy this nutri,
ment promotes the health and growth OF
the body, repairs it's wastes and gives 1t
strength. When it is thin and weak and
full Of impurities, poison and disease are
scattered throughout the system and the
body becomes more and more depleted and
exhausted until the physical powers at
last completely fail.
The reason is thus perfectly plain why
so many diseases are cured by Hoods Sar-
saparila and why this great medicine does
so many people so much good. 1t stops
the distribution of poisonous germs
throughout the system and gives the
blood power to nourish, strengthen and
vitalize the whole body.
If you are troubled with any disease
which originates in or is promoted by i'm
pure blood you may take Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla with perfect confidence that it will
give you prompt and permanent relief.
It cures scrofula, salt rheum, boils, PIN
pies, sores, rheumatism, neuralgia, dys-
pepsia, catarrh, malaria, nervousness and
that tired feeling by it's marvellous power
to expel impurities from the blood and to
impart richness and vitality to this all i'm
portant vital fluid.
