nncka in the sahara pesert.

FFrom the N O. Times-D Democrat
THE proverbia1 fondness OF ducks for
water would lead one to presuppose
that of all the world the most destitute
of ducks would be the Sahara Desert,
and that If a stray spring tall happen
ed to drift into that region he would
either vamose or turn up his tees with
br1efest delay. Well, not at ALL" said
a Frenchman now in the city who was
formerly q resident Of Tunis. There
are parts Of the desert where ducks
abound, flourish and multiply with ev-
cry evidence of perfect satisfaction. The
fowl is slightly different from any Of
the varieties we know in this country.
but 1T has the same fiat tail, extensive
breast and web feet, showing that it
was once a water bird. though now It
scarcely finds enough to drink, and has
become too provident to waste any of
the precious fluid in additions. Like the
other good Aussulmans of the country,
they take their erpscribed bath in the
sand, and their web feet come in very
handy as snowshoes to walk upon the
deep yielding dust. It is claimed by
an eminent French ornfthologist that
the Saharan ducks are the remains of
a race Of aquatic birds which frequent
ed those seas when the present desert
was a part OF the Atlantic ocean,
While we are introducing foreign bugs.
beetles and beasts into the United
States for various purposes, why not
try some OF the desert ducks ia some OF
our arid western lands?

Sufferers from this horrible malady
nearly always inherit it-not necessarily
from the parents, but may be from some
remote ancestor, for Cancer often runs
through several generations. This deadly
poison may lay dorrr ant in the blood for
years, or until you reach middle life, then
the first little sore or ulcer makes its ap-
pearance -or q swollen gland in the
breast, or some other part Of the body,
gives the 6rst warning.
To cure Cancer thoroughly and psrna-
nently all the poisonous virus. must be
eliminated from the blood-every vestagc
of it driven out This S. S. S. does, and
is the only medicine that can reach deep
seated, obstinate blood troubles like this.
When ali the poison has been forced out
of the system the Cancer heals, and the
disease never returns.

Nashville Diamond Flooded.

Nashville Banner: Athletic Park is submerged, outfield and diamond. The river Is higher than it has been for years In August and 1t is fortunate that the Fishermen are away from home today, pr the only sport they could engage in would be catching tadpoles with pin hooks They couldn't nab any Whistlers. Unless the water recedes and leaves the park open to dry by Wednesday. the series with Birmingham, beginning Thursday, will be played on Dudley Field. Manager Fisher anticipates no diff ficulty in arranging with the Vanderbilt authorities for the grounds.
 The Nashville News seems to differ with the Banner as to Dudley field, and says;
 There has been some talk of playing on Dudley field, but that Is impossible. In the first place, the law of the university is that no outside team can participate in any athletic contest unless under the su- pervision of the university. This Is also a state law, as Vanderbilt is an educational institution, and Is not, therefore, subject to taxes, unless revenue from outside sources is obtained upon the premises. Another hindrance is blue grass which covers the diamond, and on account of the approaching football season the Ath- letic Association would not permit it to be skinned.
