Laugh and Live.

Prince Jerome Napoleon was fond of telling the story of his scheme during the Crimean war by which he kept up the spirits of his men. The French nrrny was losing daily large numbers of men through the ravages of tho cholera. Marshal Canrobert sent the order to Prince Jerome that he should move his division to Varna. Jerome is- sued marching orders and added: Seek out in every regiment all the actors. comedians, clowns, conjurers and en- tertainers. will personally arrange a performance and present prizes to the best entertainer" During the whole of the retreat these perform ances took place for the edification of the division. Prince Jerome is not famous for any remarkable military triumphs. but this one act must at least be put to his credit, for 1t was undoubtedly due to this method of cheering up his men that his division could boast death roll at least three times as small as that of any other. These performances were the forerun- her of the now famous Zouave theatae In the Crimsa.

HOW SALT CoOLs COFFEE.
A Little Experiment Worth the Trys
 ing Out of Mere Curiosity.

Between bites of the simple break fast he had ordered the young clerk gazed nervously at the restaurant clock. It was plain he had overslept himself and was paving the way to fu- ture indigestion by bolting his food. The coffee was the stumbling block. It was hot-very hot-but the clerk need ed it badly, and he slipped 1t carefully, having due regard for his mouth and tongue.
 But time pressed, and, with parting glance at the clock, he reached for his glass of ice water and prepared to pour some of the frigid fluid into his cup.
 Don't spoil your coffee, young man." said an elderly gentleman who was eating his breakfast on the other side of the table. You take all the good out of 1t by putting Ice or ice water in it."
 The clerk was at first inclined to re- sent the interference. but the patri- archal appearance of the other man tempered his resentment.
 What am l to do?" he asked. q am late for the office. and want this cof fee badly"
 Let me show you little scheme" said the elderly man. Taking the cylir- drical saltcellar from the table, he wiped 1t carefully with napkin, then. reaching over. deposited the glass yes sel in the cup of coffee.
 "Salt you know, has peculiar cooling properties" he said meanwhile hold Ing the receptacle firmly in position. "They put it with ice to intensity the cold when making ice cream. It is used extensively in cold storage warehouses for cooling purposes and being incased in glass does not affect its power to any great extent"
 As he spoke he withdrew the saltcel- lar from the coffee and motioned to the younger man to drink. He raised the cup to his lips and. to his surprise, found the liquid cooled to such an eX- tent that he could drink it without in- convenience.
 "The uses of salt are manifold" said the elderly man. with the air of one be- ginning lecture. 'I remember once when was in Mexico"-
 But the clerk. with another glance at the clock. thanked him profusely and dashed out of the restauraDt.-New York Mail and Express.

R. G. DUN'S MONTHLY REVIEW
Trade Condition For October in South-
 ern California

The business outlook is generally en- couraging. The settlement of the coal strike removes the handicap to indus trial progress and the wheels at manu- featuring centers are turning actively again. Good crops. good prices and exceptionally good fall business has inspired confidence for the coming year and the volume of orders booked for spring delivery is unusually large.
 In our immediate vicinity the busi- ness conditions show little oh ange for the month past. Bean harvest is prac- tically over. October rains did not seriously damage crop, although 40 per cent of the product was in the fields. Recent advances in prices for all va rieties have been sustained.
 The celery market has opened well at an advance of five cents per dozen over last year. The crop is generally above average as to quality and will aggregate 1900 carloads.
 The citrus crop is reported in good condition. No "frst cars" have yet been sent forward. The delay this year is said to be due to an effort being made to insure sufficient maturity for early shipments. Eastern lemon mar ket IS booming. The present demand ;c o,rao Iar fho,, tho cnnnlv
 Cured fruit market IS firm. The demand is active and the product is readily going into second hands. The estimate of both peaches and apricots is much too liberal. It is about double the actual output. A price advance of 1 to 1a cent is noted on apricots. A movement in all lines is large, nothing like it on record for month of October. Raisin making is progressing. Crop is large, but short crop in Spain and high prices for import create an active demand for California product. More than one half the crop is already dis posed of. Eastern markets seem bare. Demand for seeded raisns for holiday trade is enormous. Southern Calitor- mia vintage is the largest in years, es- timated about one-third greater than last year. The quality is first class.
 The conditions for the oil industry are improving. Prices for the refined product have advanced 20 per cent in local market.
 General trade both wholesale and re- tail is active in most lines. Money is in active demand. Collections are fair.
 Realty values are firm. The demand remains active. Building boom con- tinues unchecked. 55l Hpermits were issued during the month calling for expenditure closely approixmating $1 ,000, ,O0O.
 Failures for the month, 8. Lia5ili- ties, $45, ,OO0. Assets, $47 ,OOO. For the same month last years there were five failures. Liabilities, $25, 1000. Assets, $17,000.

One of the Great Dinners of Venice.

OHe VT tHe N-VHt Dh"HerH UT Se"fVc'
 Perhaps the most expensive banquet ever given in Venice was that to Henry III. of France. He was feasted in the great hall of the doges' palace, and there were silver plates for 5000 guests. At another time the same monarch was entertained at sugar banquet-the napkins. plates, knives. forks and even the bread (so called) were all of sugar The Venetians were nightly pleased when Henry took his napkin in his hands and to his sur prise found that it broke to pieces. At this feast 1.260 different dishes were served. and 300 sugar effigies were distributed among the ladies.

Rheumatism must be treated d through the blood, and no remedy brings such prompt and lasting relief as s. s. s. It attacks the disease in the blood, neutralizes the acids, and removes all irritating or poisonous substances from the system.
 s. s. s. strengthens and enriches the thin acid blood, and, as it circu- lates through the body, the corroding, gnawing poisons and acid deposits are dislodged and washed out of the muscles and joints, and the sufferer is happily relieved from the discom- forts and misery of Rheumatism

 Gentlemen:-I am glad to say that s. s. s. has cured me of Rheumatism. About two years ago suffered from Rheumatism in my knees and feet, my ankles swelling so that I could not put on my shoes. This continued for several months, during which time I was applying liniments and going by my physician's directions, but derived no benefit. I was told of s. s. s. and tried 1t. immedi- ately got relief, and continued the medicine until was entirely well.

IRHEUMA 7ISM
 BA CANNOT BE RUBBED OUT

But good lininent or plaster will often give temporary relief because it produces counter irritation or reduces the inflammation and sore' ness. But no sort of external treatment can have any effect whatever upon the disease itself, for Rheumatism fs not skin disease, but is due to an over acid condition of the blood and the deposit of irritating matter or Uric Acid salts or sediment in the muscles and joints, and no amount of rubbing or blistering can dislodge these gritty particles or change the acid blood
 Rheumatism often becomes chronic, and the mus cles and joints permanently stiff and useless and the nervous system almost wrecked, because so much time is lost in trying to cure blood disease with outside applications or doctoring the skin.
