A Bad Skin
BOiIS. PlmpIeS. Impure Blood.

Boils are simply very large pimples.
The trouble is not in the skin, but
down deep in the blood. You cannot
have a good, smooth skin unless it is
nourished by pure blood; and the only
way to make your blood pure is to take
a strong blood-pnrifying medicine.

FIRE ON THE ARETHUSA
SEVEN DIED AS A RESULT OF THE
ACCIDENT.
The Vessel is a Water-render to the
Ships of the United STATES Navy at
Hunghom.

HONG KONG, June 29-About nine
o'clock on Tuesday evening fire broke
out in the Shaft-tunnel of the American
steamer Arethusa a water-tender to the
ships of the United States navy at pres
ent in the docks at Hunghom for re-
pairs. A number of Chinese workmen
filters and coolies-were repairing the
shaft when the fire. started. Two filters
were burned to death, and seven others
four filters and three coolies, were ter
ribly injured before they could be res
Cued. Five of the filters who had been
removed home by friends have since
died, making a total of seven deaths.
The three coolies, whose injuries were
not quite so serious, refused to go to
hospital and were taken to their own
homes for treatment.
As to the cause of the accident there
is great deal of uncertainty. So far
as can be gathered. however, it appears
that the coupling bolts were being I'M
screwed to enable the shaft to be taken
out. BY accident a heavy bra IS nut
fell upon a large tin of copal varnish,
knocking a hole in it. A naked light
was being used, and the flame, reaching
the tin of varnish, set it in a blaze at
once.
AS may be readily understood, with
such inilammable material as the oily
greasy shaft tunnel of the vessel con-
tanned, the flames spread very rapidly.
Beyond this oil and grease, however,
there was nothing to give the fire a hold
and it quickly died out leaving behind
dense volumes of smoke that curled
thickly out of every little Granny. The
unfortunate workmen are supposed to
have been overcome by the smoke, as,
though the shaft tunnel is only from
four to five feet high, escape was OF
difficult No damage was done to the
vessel.

A Spectacle In Texas, the Like of Which

A Spectacle In Texas, the Like of Which
Is Rarely Seen.
1.-THE spectacle to be seen daily at
Beaumont, Tex, just now," said P. j.
Curran, to the st. Louis GlobeDemo-
crat, "is one Of the most distinctively
American imaginable. Beaumont, pre-
vious to the discovery of the oil spouts,
was commonplace, progressive little
place of about twelve thousand popu-
lation. 1t was growing in the regular
way, and everybody knew everybody
else. Now there are 25000 strangers in
the town, about two for each native
inhabitant and the town has the ap-
pearance of some kind of a show.
There isn't room for the people to eat,
nor sleep, nor move about. Two special
trains run every night to Port Arthur
and Sabine Pass to carry the drifting
population to points where they can
sleep and eat, and return next morn
ing. Different places of business are
given $100 per month for enough space
to put up little real estate booths of
canvass and people who don't manage
to get out of town tramp about all DAY
and then throw themselves down at
night on the canvass theyhaye brought
for the purpose of putting up tents.
But many of them don't have time nor
space to put up the tents, and sleep
under the open air on their tentage. 1t
is a scene of feverish activity, every
man who owns valueless property is
trying to sell for high prices, and every
man with a stake is trying to make 4
fortune out of it. Nearly all forms Of
legitimate business have been sus-
pended, and half the people seem to
have taken leave OF their senses 1t
will probably be a long time before
normal conditions are restored, and
the present indications are that Beau
mont will become one Of the import
ant commercial centers of Texas"

Seldom is the ruling passion for club
organization illustrated more pointedly
than in that weird association just or
ganized up in Maine and destined, ap-
parently, to go down the ages as the
first Appendicitis club. The clubs
membership is graded into two ranks
the lower being composed Of those
persons who have survived one opera
ton, and the higher degree those who
have survived two or more operations
for that uncalled-for thing, the vermi-
form appendix. Those who have un-
dergone the operation and have not
lived might be said to form the Club
Triumphant. The originator Of the
club is w. f. Fernald of Old Orchard,
Me- In 1898 the doctors in the Massa-
chusetts General hospital in Boston
took out Fernald's superfuous organ
ism, but failed to take his life too.
Fernald was so grateful that he decid-
ed to form club of persons who had
been as successful as himself. The
association which he has formed is to
be organized by states, and to have
national conventions and all the ma
chinery of a great party.-Chicago
