SIMPLICITY OF SCIENCE.

Science is always simple. It's only
quackery that juggles with jargons.
Medical treatment of the past dealt
with ''simples,'' the pure vegetable
remedies provided by Nature. Sagwa
is compounded of simples. 1t is purely
vegetable. It is scientific, because it
is based on the best known curative
properties of the herbs, roots. parks
and gums which it contains. It Is the
most efficient blood purifier and blood
builder known. Ninety per cent Of
diseases begin in the blood, and 80 per
cent of diseases are cured by the
prompt and proper use of Sagwa. It
expels from the blood all the corrupt
ing and corroding elements and builds
up a new body with new blood. There
is no substitute for Kickapoo Indian

LOOKING FOR
ONE ERITSON
Policemen Search the Mari
posa for a Much Wanted
Man.

Four or five anxious looking police
officers were stationed on board the
Mariposa yesterday, looking for a man
named Eritson. who held the position
of electrician on that vessel. Eritson
was wanted on charge of needless
driving" having, while under the in
fuence of liquor, hired a rig at a livery
stable last Sunday, and driven out to-
wards Waikiki. He was going along at
a reckless pace, and when half way
out on the Waikiki road, met another
carriage driven by a lady coming In
the opposite direction. For some rea-
son, whether intentional or not, he
failed to turn out. The result was a
smashup, in which the lady was
thrown out and suffered serious inJu-
ries, while Eritson escaped without
any material damage being done to
him or his rig.
The police were satisfied that he was
hidden away on the boat, but repeated
searching failed to prove it. However
the much wanted man is, no doubt
now enjoying the bracing salt air OF
the ocean

FOLLOWING THE BEAVERS PLAN

Animal instinct often gives valuable
hint to human reason. A case in point
is cited by an engineer in recently
written scientific review of the subject
of dams. The beaver, he says, does
not build his dam straight across the
stream, but with an arch against the
current, his instinct telling him that in
this form it will better resist floods and
the impact of floating ice. This hint
from the little animal has been acted
upon in many cases lately, notably in
the building of the Great Bear Valley
dam In California. Engineers, as a rule,
build straight across stream, chiefly,
perhaps, to save material, but the
arched dam is the more economical in
the long run.

RED RAIN AND YELLOW RAIN.

The peasants of Italy, Sicily and
Western Austria were recently fright
ened half out of their lives by fall of
blood RAIN in spite of the fact that
this phenomenon is not a rare one in
tina. part of Europe. Sometimes the
raindrops are SO red that they stain
the objects on which they fall. When
this is the case the color is due to a
scarlet seaweed that is picked up by
the wind from the north coast of At
RIGA and carried up into the clouds,
where it is dissolved. A red rain is al
so caused by the wind lifting large
quantities of red sand from the Desert
of Sahara, and carrying it into the up
per air. whence 1t falls with rain.
A yellow rain often falls in Norway
and Sweden. and also in Northern Can
ada, in the spring. There are vast
pine forests in those countries, and
when the trees are in bloom the wind
often takes up the yellow pollen from
the flowers, and as 1t is dissolved by
the moisture of the clouds 1t tints the
falling drops yellow. This Is what is
sometimes called a rain Of sulphur.

.sPRINKElNG WAGONS.
The Modern Ones q Big Improvement
ON the Old Style.


The modern sprinkling wagon is very
different from the old timer. The chief
Improvement is in the spray head,
which enables the driver to control the
flow Of water much better than the old
style. Thus, whether it is a dirt or
macadam road or stone paved or as
phalted street, there can be supplied
from the modern street sprinkler just
the amount of water required to lay
the dust in it without waste.
The spray head on each side has it's
own valve rod running to the drivers
seat, with a step there for the foot.
The driver can operate both heads at
once, or he can run only one head. He
can shut off one or open either one at
pleasure. With this sort Of wagon the
expert driver leaves behind him dry
crOsswalks with perfectly defined lin
its, and when he comes to carriage or
a street car upon which he doesn't
want to throw water he shuts off the
flow on that side and keeps the other
going. Sprinkling wagons are made in
various sizes, ranging from $50 gallons
to 1000 gallons capacity. There are 90
sprinkling wa agons sold in this country
nowadays where there were was one
sold only few years ago. This great
increase in their use is due in large
measure to sanitary reasons, TO the
great extension of good roads and to
the common desire for comfort.
Sprinkling wagons are used nova
days commonly in many smaller towns
and villages where they were never
thought of some years ago. And Amer
ican sprinkling wagons are now found
all over the world wherever sprinkling
wagons are used.
They are exported to Australia, Gu
ba, Porto Rico, South America, South
Africa and Europe. The modern sprin-
king wagon; that the traveller chances
| to see in Paris or Berlin or Hamburg
came very likely from the same factory
as the one he saw here before he left
home going through his own home

By the bushel. if only this were the
newcomers are dumped into q long,
narrow tank Of water at one end of
which is big wheel with tire of soft
bristleS. The wheel revOlves so that
the lower edge works in connection
with another set of brushes in a small
er tank below. and the oranges, after
bObbing about in the big tank, pass be-
tween the wet brushes and come out
bright and clean.
This washer is a neat machine and
does away with the more primitive yet
picturesque method of hand washing.
At some of the smaller packing
houses may still be seen groups Of wO-
men, sometimes white, sometimes
brown skinned, each with a tub of wa
ter and brush, Scrubbing busily away
at the yellow piles that never seem to
grow less till the last hour Of the day.
After their bath the oranges are
spread out in the sun to dry on long,
slantinS racks. At the lower end they
roll off into boxes, to be carried away
to the warehouse for their rest.
An orange needs a deal of grooming,
It would seem, before it is ready for
market. The washing was not enough.
There must be a brushing too. And
after the days Of curing the oranges
are fed into a hopper which drops them
single file on to a belt that runs be-
tween revolving cylindrical brushes,
this for a smooth, shiny look.-LOs An

says Sarah Orne tewett In The ATTAIN
dc.
There was a moment Of suspense.
The wind was very light now. The
powder smoke drifted away, and the
Tapping sails sounded loud overhead.
Would the admiral answer back or
would he treat this bold challenge like
. handkerchief waved at him from q
pleasure boat? Some of the officers on
the Ranger looked incredulous, but
Paul Jones still held his letter in his
hand. There was a puff Of white
smoke, and the great guns Of the
French flagship began to shake the air
one, two, three, four, five. six, seven,
eight, nine-and then were still save
for their echoes from the low hills
about Carnac and the great Druid
Mount Of st. Michael.
"Henry Gardner, you may tell the
men that this was the salute Of the
king of France to our republic and the
first high honor to our f1ag," said the
captain proudly to his steersman, but
they were all huZZaing now along the
Rangers decks. that little ship whose
name shall never be forgotten while
her country lives.
The captain lifted his hat and stood
looking up at the flag.

How Piccadf11y Was Named.

It's curious how the names Of towns
and streets come from something that
has been the fashion Of the day. Who
knows where the word "Piccadilly"
originated from, the name Of that won
derful street of which it is written
that @some make love and some make
poetry in PiccadillY The street was
built by tailor named Higgins, whose
fortune was made in kind Of collar
called Piccadel or Pickadill or Picca-
1illey, which was worn by all the beaus
Of the day. OF course it is not meant
that the street as it stands today was
built by him, but he erected a few
houses to which he gave the name the

FEASTED ON SPARROWo.
A Diet That Did Not Agree With the


Crane.
"Some time ago had occasion to OBJ
serve an interesting change in the hab-
its and temperament Of a crane which
had been picked up in the swamps Of
Arkansas" said a gentleman from one
of the towns on the Mississippi river,
"and the change was startling too. The
crane was placed in small park which
was literally filed with English spar
rows. These pests did not like the Wis
itOr from the lowlandS, and they made
daily assaults on the poor bird. The
craIe was pretty fowl, long, slender,
pure white and with the stately stride
Of tragedian. The Sparrows would sys-
tematically SwOOp down on the crane
in droves, and the attacks were fierce
and vicious.
The crane stood the assaults with in
difference for awhile, but finally the
fowl from the swamps figured out a
method Of retaliation, and it was effec-
tual. In some way the crane learned
that sparrow was a pretty sweet NOR
sell From the time she learned it she
feasted on sparrOWs. She would slip
up cautiously on these pesky twitterers
and throw her yellow beak out like a
gig. She never missed the mark. She
always landed a sparrow. and a singu-
lar part Of the thing is that she would
swallow them whole, feathers and all
But the crane would always dampen
the bird by dipping it in one of the wa
ter basins Of the park. ..
'The diet evidently did not agree
with the crane, and she became a trif1e
droopy and showed signs of indisposi-
ton. She finally died, and the keeper
Of the park believes that the cranes
death was caused by severe case of
indigestion brought on by eating spar
rOWs."-New Orleans Times Democrat:

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
