The liability to disease is greatly
Iesseued when the blood is in good con-
dition, and the circulation healthy and
vigorous. For then all refuse matter
is promptly carried out of the system;
otherwise itwould rapidly accumulate
fermentation would take place, the
blood become polluted and the ccnstl-
tuition so weakened that simple
malady might result seriously.
A healthy, active circulation means
good digestion and strong, healthy

low stone wall protecting battalion of
Illinois infantry. His wan face glow
ed as he described the charges Of his
company on this wall to uncover the
spring. The first was under Captain
Tailleur, who fell at the brink of the
pool with a MIME ball through his
forehead. Lieutenant Oakfell led the
second, received q murderous volley
within 20 feet of the wall and bit the
dust with Leon, the jockey, who had
joined him ct Corinth and followed
him as body servant and cook Of his
mess. The third charge was about to
be made under the leadership Of Lieu
tenant Brulleton when a shell exploded
in Valsin's face, and he knew no more
until he recovered consciousness in q
canvas covered wagon jolting through
the passes Of the Cumberland noun
tains to find himself minus a foot and q
hand. He had fingered about the camps
and hospitals until he was formally re-
ported as unfit for duty, discharged
and ordered to return home as best he
could. His journay back was long, te-
dious and painful and now that it was
accomplished appeared to him hide
Gus dream.
When the doleful story of Valsin was
carried to Estelle, she looked with
streaming eyes far into the blue vault
above and whispered:
Horace, hear me. Your voice called
my love into being, and now my love
is dead. No other voice than yours
shall ever recall it to life"

They Were Not pSilEs.

It is said that when the first Chinese
came to California the Indians were
very curious about them. A dispute
arose among some Of them as to what
country the strangers might hail from
and whether or not they were Indians.
The Indians, wise as the Pur!tans Of
old, decided to apply tie water test.
If the accused swain, they were
witches; If they drowned. they were
innocent.
One day a party Of Indians met a
party OF Cinnamon approaching a lit
tie stream. The strangers approached
the bridge and started across. The In
dams. too. fled across and. meeting
the Cinnamon in midstream, pushed
two CT them into the angry, spoominG
current below. The test was conclu-
sive. They could not swim. They
were not Indians.

LOVE OF JEWELS
Has Caused Many of tho Tragedies of
the Worlds History.

tue Norius history.
Women of all countries have an in
herent love for precious stones, which
are supposed to exercise some subtle
magnetism upon their natures. Hence
the latter-day craze for some mascotic
jewel, a survival of medieval super
stition. Upon impressionable people
certain gems appear to WELD a potent
influence. Who has not listened to
weird tales of some heirloom talisman
which, when lost or stolen, presaged
the ruin of a noble house? A person
with vivid imagination might even
believe in the theory of the Pythagore-
ans, who formulated the doctrine that
inanimate as we'll as animate things
are endowed with souls. Certain evo-
lutionists OF today trace the origin Of
man back to stones, asserting that in
their adamantine bosoms they contain
the all-pervading essence OF spirit, and
that the spark emitted from their crys-
talline hearts is the revelation of the
imprisoned soul within. From time
immemorlal jewels have served as pro-
pitiatory offerings at holy shrines, as
tokens of amity from one crowned
head to another, as mystic messengers
of affection between distant friends,
as pledges of constancy exchanged be
tween plighted lovers. Men have bled
and died, kingdoms have crumbled,
families have been rent asunder hus-
band and wife parted over the disputed
possession of some coveted jewel. Per-
haps poor Marie Antoinette of III
starred memory, might have kept her
pretty head upon her shoulders had it
not been for the unfortunate affair OF
the diamond necklace

CATCislrG LIONS,
Natives Who Formerly Caught Them BY
Their Iaila.


Their Tails.
A Mr.. Freeman, who visited South
Africa In tho first half of the CEN
fury, was able to gather much infor-
nation about life and sport in that
country. He gives his authority for
most singular mode Of attack upon
the lion. Mr.. Lemue, who formerly re-
sided at Motto, and is familiar with
the Kalahari country, assured me that
the remarkable accounts sometimes
circulated as to the people Of that part
Of Africa catching lions by the tail,
and Of which, l confess, was very
lncredulous, were perfectly true. He
well knows that the method prevailed,
and was certainly not uncommon
among the people. Lions would some
times become extremely dangerous.
Having become accustomed to human
FLESH. they would not willingly eat
anything else. When a neighborhood
became infested, the men would de-
termine on the measures to be adopted
to rid themselves Of the nuisance.
they would proceed in search of their
royal foe. AS the men stood close by
one another, the lion would make
spring on some one of the party
every man, of course, hoping that he
might escape the attack-when in
stantly others would dash forward and
seize his tail close to the body, lifting
him up with all their might. Thus
they not only astonished the animal
and took him absolutely off his guard,
but they rendered his efforts powerless
for the moment. Other men closed in
with their spears, and pierced the mon
ster through and through. All this
was done, not for the exciting pleas
ure Of lion-hunt nor as an exhibition
of prowess, but to rid the neighbour
hood of the villages of a dreadful
enemy, and to save the men them
selves from becoming in their turn
the breakfast or the supper Of this
monarch Of the desert.-Y ouths' Com
panion.
