Animals That Bloom.

Anemones, sponges, the sea cucum-
berS and certain other growths which
bloom and apparently behave in all
respects like plants are really animals.
The petals of the anemone, resem-
bling those of a chrysanthemum, are
really tentacles to catch food and put it
into the hollow tube which forms the
stomach, where it is digested. The
sea cucumber has flattened body. 1t
occasionally moves at snail's pace
over the mud or sand, digging its pet
ais, or arms, into the sludge for food
to obtain which 1t swallows a fair
proportion of mud. 1t has power to
sting and so keeps away it's enemies.
The sea lily SO exactly resembles the
common lily that it is difficult to real.
ize that it is an animal and belongs to
the starfish family. 1t has a stalk two
feet long, with disk for body. The
tentacles close round the disk, which
has a mouth, and completes the de-
ceptive likeness. They are the oldest
form of animal life on earth, and their
fossils are called "stone lilies"
These creatures were believed to be
plants and many people still refuse to
believe otherwise.

A Wind That Blew.

"You call this a stiff March wind p
remarked my friend, Dan Weyrich, the
other evening. why, this is nothing.
This is a southern spring zephyr COM
pared with what we used to get when
was a boy. We were living then over
on the farm. Our house was set il
a very exposed place on small hill.
When the March wind blew she rocked
that house like a small skiff in a gale
at sea. l slept then in bed on rollers.
Many a night in March l was awaken
ed by the rolling of the bed all round
the room. 1t would bang against all
four walls, making such a noise that
sleep was well nigh impossible"
"What did you do then?' l ventured
to ask.
"What could l d." said Dan, "but
sleep on the floor and hang on to the
bed to keep it from rolling. 1t was
sleeping under difficulties, I'll admit,
but then we didn't have many nights
like that."-Albany Journal.

Too Much For the Cab.

One of the wealthiest wine mer.
chants in Paris and also one of its
stoutest citizens was the hero of an cpl
sode which caused much laughter in
the Rue Princesse.
III. R., the corpulent man. hailed a
cab, which came alongside the curb.
He opened the door and, getting a pur-
chase on the railing of "cabby's" seat,
tried to hoist himself in.
But his weight was too much for the
vehicle, which careened over and, as
the sidewalk is very narrow, crashed
into a window of printing Office. NJ.
r. had meanwhile collapsed on the
ground, and ''cabby" by a miracle
chung to his uncertain perch.
Then followed a stormy period. The
printer came out and wanted to have
the price of his broken window, the fat
man tried to get the cabby to drive him
away, and cabby refused to take any
such load on board.
Finally all parties adjourned to the
police station, where the difficulty was
Strengthened out, and NJ. R. set to work
looking for another cab.-Paris Temps

Il now take pleasure in notifying you
that my husband has entirely recovered
from catarrh. He is well man today,
thanks to you and Peruna. He took six
bottles of your medicine as directed, and it
proved to be just the thing for him. His

RHEUMATISM
Caused by an Impure Condi-
ton of the Blood How 1t
May be Permanently Cured
From the Mirror, Manchester, N. H..

Although rheumatism is one of the
most painful and dangerous of the
many troubles which afflict mankind, it
can be permanently cured if a proper
course of treatment is taken The real
cause of rheumatism is the presence
OF acid in the blood, and the only cure
is to purify, nourish and strengthen
this vital fluid. The best specific yet
discovered for this purpose is DR.. Will
Jams Pink Pills for Pale People, and
the number Of cures they have effected
in cases of this stubborn disease is
wonderful. Mrs. S. d. Loveland, of
No. 1873 West Hancock street, Manches-
ter, N. H., was cured by a severe at
tack of rheumatism by the use of this
remedy. She says:
Several years ago one of my knees
was injured by fall. About the first
of June, 1897, rheumatism set in and
at last got so bad that 1 could not bend
my knee. 1t was very painful, and 1
was unable to move about / tried va
rious remedies, but not one of them re-
iieved me in any way.
In the latter part of August, nearly
three months after the pain and stiff
ness began, a friend, Mrs. Rothwell, of
Everett, Mass, told me of DR.. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People. l willingly
gave them trial, and experienced re-
lief in few days. 1 continued until l
had taken three boxes and was able to
bend the knee and go up and down
stairs without difficulty. 1 have since
taken the pills number of times for
other troubles, and always with good
results.
81 have recommended DR.. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People many times.
l have not learned with what effect
they were taken, excepting in the case
of two of my relatives and a young
| woman living in my family, each of
whom was greatly benefited. I feel
| that cannot say too much in favor
of the pills.

eYPsIEs ARE A NUISANCE.
Austro- Hungary Has Adopted Means
for Their Suppression.

Austro- Hungary Has Adopted Means
for Their Suppression.
In every part of Europe bands of
Hungarian gypsies are to be encounter
ed. AS a rule they travel in families,
numbering from twenty-five to 100
souls and more, carrying along with
them all their various and strange para
phernalia and domestic necessities. In
most countries Of Europe laws have
been passed according to which these
vagabonds are allowed to stay only a
couple of days or couple of hours in
certain provinces or provincial districts,
when they are escorted by ''gens-
darmes" over the border. Their princi-
pal business transactions consist of for
tune-telling, begging and stealing. They
are especially clever In the latter branch
of business and take everything from
a pin and needle to q horse and car
rage.
The gypsies have been a real nuis-
ance for Europe for centuries and the
Austro-Hungarian government is now
considering a plan to force this most
peculiar vagabond race Into settlement
somewhere in the vast plains of Hun
gary. Most characteristic of the gyp-
sizes is the fact that they never work.
This is one of their first principles. For
more than COO years they have been
roaming over Europe. and the up-to-
date gypsy is by all means the cleverest
thief in the world. Where no cat gets
through the little brown gypsy boy
finds his way. They have no religion.
no morals, no honor or no fatherland
But he Is prouder, perhaps, than a Span
ish grandee. He lies to perfection and
is the greatest story-teller in the world
Many other efforts have been made
from time to time to confine the gyp-
sizes to certain territories in Hungary
but always without any success.

ANCIENT ENGLISH BRIDGES
They Have Survived Times Ravage
and Remain Practically Intact.

They Have Survived Times Ravages
and Remain Practically Intact.
The old Bow bridge built by Queen
Matilda at Stratford-atte-Bow in the
twelfth century, survived till lately in
a much-restored condition; the charge
of it was given by its builder to a relig
ious house near by. 1t was a simple
stone structure of three arches and was
not only often in bad repair, but was
used by its keepers to eXtort money
from passengers.
From the frequency with which the
prefix bridge occurs in the names of
places one might imagine that many Of
our towns and villages have been NAM
ed from their bridges, and such is in
deed often the case, but in many other
instances the prefix comes really from
the name of st. Bride, or Bridget, one
of the most popular of Celtic saints.
At another Stratford, that situated
on the Avon and destined to world
wide fame, there was in Leland's time
poor bridge of timber, so insecure that
many poor folks and other refused to
come to Stratford when Avon was up,
or commynge thither, stood in jeopar-
dye of lyfe." 1t remained for Sir Hugh
of Clopton, once mayor of London, to
erect the existing fine structure, which,
says Leland hath fourteen great arch
es Of stone and long causey made Of
stone, low-walled on each side, at the
west end of the bridge" This was the
bridge that Shakespeare knew and to
all intents and purposes it IS the bridge
that still stands.
Another bridge existing is interesting
in that we possess the original contract
by which it was built. After giving
bridge of Chatterick should be built,
| the document ends: "And We saide>
John, Tho. and Bob. schalle this for
said brigge sufficiently in masoncraft

shire bridge is also stipulated.
! Sometimes the maintenance of
bridges was provided for by tolls, some
times by aims, sometimes by the
church's indulgences. Persons fire.
quently contracted to keep certain
bridge in order in return for the toll.
and in those days, it goes without say
ing, the exacting of the toll was more
vigorously exercised than the repara-
ton of the bridge. A form of applica-
ton for such rights exists. whose date
is probably the early fourteenth century
1t is as follows: ITO our lord the King
prays his vassal, William Of Laytmer,
lord of Yarum, that he will grant him
portage for five1years at the bridge of
Yarn, which is broken down, where

ter of the Tees toward Scotland. May
1t please him to do this for the soul of

How Flags Wear Out.

1t costs money to fly even two small
flags every day in the year. The two
small ones on the east and west fronts
of the capitol. each about three yards
long, which is small for such an i'm
mense structure as the capitol, fray out
SO fast that it costs 500 year to re-
place them. They are darned every
day and on windy days probably two
or three times. Even with all these
economies 500 worth of fine wool
floats off into the air in such fine parti-
cles that never a trace of it can be
found even at the foot of the two flag

How She Settled the Question.

The question of precedence at dinner

Is q weighty one in official circles, but
once upon a time there was a western
senator whose wife thought very light
ly on this subject She was in Wash

solved to have it without bothering
about precedence.
This. fearless little woman gave a
dinner on one occasion, and when it
was time to get her guests from the

said:
'There is some precedence about all
this. but don't know what it is. Just

Cafarrh has become such a common
disease that a person entirely free from
this disgusting complaint is seldom met
with. 1t is customary to speak of Catarrh
as nothing more serious than a bad cold,
simple inflammation of the nose and
throat. 1t is, in fact, a complicated and
very dangerous disease; if not at first, it
very soon becomes so.
The blood is quickly contaminated by
the foul secretions, and the poison through
the general circulation is carried to all
parts of the system.
Salves, washes and sprays are unsatis-
factory and disappointing, because they do
not reach the seat of the trouble. S. S. S.
does. 1t c1eanses the blood of the poison
and eliminates from the system all catar-
rhal secretions, and thus cures thoroughly
