If coming events cast a shadow before," the mutterings of discentent among the white natives of Cuba will more than likely develop into open rebellion upon the inauguration of Presi- dent Palma, who owes his po- sition to the votes and intimidat- ing methods of the non-tax pay ing blacks of that country.

Of Virginia is a breeding ground of Malaria germs. So is low, wet or marshy ground every where. These germs cause weak ness, chills and fever, aches in the bones and muscles, and may in- duce dangerous maladies. But Electric Bitters never fail to des troy them and cure malarial troubles. They will surely pre- vent typhoid. We tried many remedies for Malaria and Stom- ach and Liver troubles," writes John Charleston, of Byesville, O., "but never found anything as Electric Bitters," Try them.

It is the general opinion that if this administration gives the west a practical irrigation law with reasonable appropriations TO enable the law to be utilized, there will not be a state in the arid belt which will not endorse Roosevelt to succeed himself. The entire west would be so strong for Roosevelt, that it would be useless to expect a single delegation to the national convention from the west to consider any other name for the nomination, and Presiden t Roosevelt appears to understand this important political fact.

The action of the Methodist conference at Winfield, Kansas, in convicting and expelling Rev. Luther on the charge of heresy, whose offense consisted in the declaration that no generation of men could teach a truth not yet revealed to them, and that the Creator reveals his purposes to men only as they progress and
 become capable of comprehend ing them, is a species of intoler- ance which will result disas- trously to that organization.

The demise of T, De Witt Tal- mage on the 12th inst. removes one of the most radical obstruc- tlonlsts to progressive eth ical research. Though a scholar and a gentleman of un- questioned integrity, he was un- able to throw off the influence of mythical fables imbibed in his youth and devoted his life to cxpounding the moral and re- ligious concepts of two thousand years ago and combating the truth as revealed by science and cultivated thought. He was con- scientious but his labors were misdirected and proportionately detrimental to the cause which he gave his years to promote.

Thumb Nail Pictures.

In collections, centuries old, to be
seen in both China and Japan are
specimens Of the most remarkable
drawings in the world pictures of all
kinds drawn with the thumb nail. The
nails of the thumbs on the left hands
of the artists Of these are allowed to
grow to an enormous length, some
times to foot or eighteen inches, and
are then pared down to a pen shaped
point. Dipping this oddly constructed
pen in beautiful vermilion or sky blue
ink, the only kinds of ink used in these
sacred thumb nail dra wings, the artist
gracefully outlines his work. ..>.
Occasionally the bold touches from
the studio of master in this depart
ment of "high art'' are life size and
are sketched by few sweeps of the
artists arm. Like other pictures and
sketches Of the orient, these sacred
thumb nail pictures are mounted and
rolled up like scrolls.

Patience With Eccentricity,

Many Of the leading people in Eng
hsh society regarded Thomas Carlyle
with feeling almost akin to reverent
delight when he chose to behave like
an ignorant boor in their drawing
rooms, even taking his seat, it is said.
unbidden in the presence of the queen.
This generation, however, has little pa.
hence with such eccentricities.

the historian Freeman had worn out

duced him to a waiting audience as

A Market Scene In This Quaint
French Province.
Brittany is land where the peasants
till the earth in zouave trousers, torea-
dor jackets covered with arabesque
enlbroideries and green waistcoats
around which run lines Of crimson.
The women wear short red skirts,
great medici collars and colts that fiut-
ter about their heads like the wings of
doves. From beneath the points of
their black caps the children gaze at
you with wide eyes full of the curiosity
of animals.
These people live in houses built of
sculptured granite and sleep in open
work closets carved like the mouchara-
bieks of Egypt.

in the village market places.
Fiery little horses draw to market

The peasants converse with but few

These taciturn people forget them

Some Words.

According to the late Richard 4.
Proctor, says the London Chronicle,
the phrase Il guess" to English ears
so ridiculous, is really identical with
the old expression, Il wis.," meaning
II know" The word guess has
changed its meaning entirely in Eng
land, but has partly preserved it in
America, where of course the native
says Il guess when he is more or less
IN state of certainty. There are many
other examples of words that have
played fast and loose with "g'' and

SnuR and n Crook.

Robert Pinkerton once told a story of
his father, the founder Of the detective
agency, which illustrates the elder
Pinkerton's caution. A noted criminal
was detained in Pinkerton's Chicago
office. The elder Pinkerton left the room
and when he returned took the precau-
ton of holding a revolver in front of
him ready for use.
He saw the criminal standing by the
door with snuffbox he had picked
up from Pinkerton's desk in his hand.
'"This is good snuff" affably re-
marked the crook as he took sniff.
''For the eyes or the nose?" asked
Pinkerton, who knew that the crook
had intended to blind him in an effort
to escape.
"Well." remarked the criminal, 'I'm
sorry to say that the nose gets it this
time"

Cold water with ice in it is the thing
to use when an accidental burn from

acid gets split at times, or even vitriol
may. A limb burned with acids must
be plunged in cold water and kept
there, SO that the water may dilute
the traces OF the acid In the skin as
much as possible. When acid burning
causes injury, the water should be rem.

LITERARY TREASURES.

Some Which Have Been and Some
Which May Be Lost to View.
The world, we have been assured
time. and again, knows nothing of it's
greatest men. Perhaps it is equally ig-
norant about it's greatest books. Are
we quite sure that the idols in our lit
erary pantheon are arrayed in their
due order Of precedence? The rules of
precedence change, and who shall as
sert that those prevalent at any given
time are the final ones? But, above
all, are we quite certain that there may
not be notable work Of genius lying
unnoticed and unknown amid the
wrecks of the river Of time, waiting
only for some lucky accident that shall
reveal it in all it's beauty to an aston
ished world2
Such accidents with such results have
been frequent in the history Of the
past. Indeed such accidents have pre-
served or have revealed to the world
no insignificant proportion Of it's now
acknowledged masterpieces.
The books of the Bible themselves
capes from what might have resulted
in their total loss. The most notable
example is that of Deuteronomy, which
disappeared from the Jewish world for
over a century. The story Of its re
discovery by the high priest Hezekiah
during the reign of good King Josiah
is set forth in the Old Testament.
Shakespeare was practically forgot
ten in the days when Addison wrote
his Account of the Greatest English
Poets," with never a mention of the
name of the very greatest, yet it was
shortly afterward that Shakespeare
was resuscitated.

FLAGS ON THE CAPITOL.
What 1t Means When They Are Fly
ing at Half Mast

ing at Half Mast.
The flying of flags over the capitol at
half mast is regulated by the strictest
rules. Whenever these flags are seen
floating half way down the mast it is
sure indication that a vice president,
senator or representative is lying dead
, or that the action is taken in response
to presidential proclamation ordering
the flags on public buildings at half
mast in respect to the memory of some
prominent official of the government
who has passed away.
When the sergeant at arms of the
senate or house of representatives
learns of the death of a member of
either of those bodies, he at once
orders that the flags, over the senate
chamber or hall of representatives be
half 1nasted. This is often done before
the houses Of congress themselves are
officially notified of the death. A good
deal Of discretion is exercised in the
manner Of placing the news of death
of this kind officially before the senate
or the house. Upon such an announce
ment it is customary for the houses to
adjourn in respect to the deceased SEN
ator or representative, and in order
that the current business may not be
stopped. early in the day the announce
ment is generally made just before the
houses are ready to conclude their
days work.
Officers Of the senate and house
when they fly the flags at half mast in
response to proclamation by the pres
ident regard their action as one of
courtesy, as they do not recognize the
power Of the president to order con-
gress to do anything except to assem-
BILE in extraordinary session. They
have always responded to the requests
Of such proclamations. 1t would be a
nice question, if one could imagine that
it could ever be raised, to know to
what extent the presidents authority
would allow him to order flags at half
mast on the capitol. While his author
| ity would not extend over the en-
ployees of the senate and house, yet
the capitol itself for many years was
in fact controlled exclusively by him
so far as the care Of the building is
concerned, and the superintendent of
the building is today appointed by him
without confirmatory action on the
part of the senate.
AS matter Of fact, the capitol has
for years been under the direct control
of the committees on appropriations of
the two houses Of congress, but that
control has been accorded them by the
failure of the president to give any Or
ders to the architect or more lately to
the superintendent of the capitol. If
he should order that official to fly flags
over the capitol at half mast and the
order should be disobeyed, he would
have power to dismiss him and appoint
some one else in his place without the
concurrence of either branch Of con-
gress, except so far as the appropria-
ton for the officials salary would be
involved. These are practically moot
questions, but they occasionally form
interesting subjects for fireside talks
when flags are half @masted in response
to presidential clamations.-Wash-
ington Star.

A MILD CASE

Of Contagious Blood Poison never exis-
ted. 1t is always bad, though sometimes
no external symptoms of the disease ap-
pear for long time.
Because the disease is slow in devel-
oping does not indicate that the case is
a mild one, for the poisonous virus at
work in the blood and system may be
spending its force upon some internal
vital organ while you are looking for ex-
ternal signs. Contagious Blood Poison
does not affect all alike. In most cases
the first little sore is quickly followed by
painful swellings in the groins, a red
eruption upon the body, sores or ulcers
in the mouth and throat, unsightly copper
colored blotches, loss of hair and eye
brows and other symptoms of this miser-
able disease. When the poison IS thus
fighting its way to the surface, exposing
the disease in all its hideousness, we call
it a bad case; but Contagious Blood Poi
son, whether working internally OF exter-
nally, is dangerous, treacherous disease.
S. S. S. is the only remedy that cures
Contagious Blood Poison thoroughly and
permanently. 1t is an antidote for the
deadly virus that produces the awful
eruptions, sores and ulcers, and destroys
the bones. Mercury and Potash dry up
the skin eruptions, but in so doing drive
the poison further into the system, where
it slumbers for time, but comes back
again with redoub1ed fury.

been used successfully for years in treat
