THE BLOOD.

The blood is life. We derive trsn the blood life, power, beauty, and req son, as the doctors have been saying from time immemorial. A healthy body, fresh appearance, and generally All the abilities we possess depend on that source of life. It is therefore the duty of every sensible man to keep the blood as pure and normal as possible. Nature, in its infinite wisdom. has given us a thermometer indicating the state of the blood, which appeals to our reason by giving notice of it's impurity. Small eruptions of the skin, to which we scarcely pay any attention, head ache, ringing noises in the ears, lassi- tude, sleeplessness, are generally sign that the blood is not in its normal state, but is filled with noxious sub stances. These symptoms deserve our full attention. If more attention were paid to those symptoms, and steps taken to remove them, then many illnesses from which we suffer would become un- known, and the human body would be- come stronger and healthier. Atten- ton therefor should be paid to those warning signs, and the blood can be purified and poisonous substances re- moved from it by the use of Dr. August koenig's Hamburg Drops, discovered more than 50 years ago.

Under date of January 10, 1897, Dr. Hartman received the following letter: My wife had been suffering from a complication of diseases for the past 25 years.
 "Her case had baffied the skill of some of the most noted physicians. One of her worst troubles was chronic constipation of several years standing. "She also was passing through that most critical period in the life of & woman-change of life. In June, 1895, wrote to you about her case. Ton advised course of Peruna and Manalin, which we at once commenced, ', and have to say it completely cured her. She firmly believes that she would have been dead cnly for those wonderful remedies.
 About the same time l wrote you about my own case of catarrh, which had been of 25 years standing. At times l was almost past going. l com menced to use Peruna according to your instructions and continued its use foi about year, and it has completely cured me.
 "Your remedies do all that you claim for them, and even more. Catarrh cannot exist where Peruna is taken according to directions. Success to you and your remedies"

Language of Parrots.

Do parrots understand what they say? A scientist relates that he has a Brazilian parrot which is a fluent and accomplished speaker. A gray parrot was introduced on day, but the Brazilian hautily declined to have anything to say to the gray. Then a neighbor who has just been given a newly imported green Brazilian brought the newcomer to call. The moment the parrots caught sight of each other they broke into a torrent of apparently articulate language, consisting. as 1t seemed, of questions and answers, but what the language was no one present could tell. The owner of the first parrot had never during the years it had lived with him heard it speak the strange tongue. The two parrots talked to each other without ceasing all the time they were together, and few days later. when they met again. ex- actly the same thing happened. Was the first parrot long exiled from it's native forests. asking eagerly for news of its people?

Runs Through a D. sert.

A well-known civil engineer, H. B. Carpenter, who has recently completed he survey of the southern line of Utah. says the boundary between that State and Arizona does not cross foot of cul- .iyated land. It trayerses a desert, which is cut up by great canyons that ire almost impossible. The length of he line is PIT miles. Landmarks along the line will make 1t possible for the boundary to be located without any difficulty In the future. Just east of the Colorado River a sandstone butte rises 1000 feet above the plain, and the very peak of this butte Is exactly on the boundary. Mir. Carpenter named the peak State Line butte. Not far from this butte Is another, which stands 300 feet above the plain, and was named Tower peak. These two gigan- tic stones will always be a guide to per sons who have enough curiosity to pen etrate the desert in search of the State liDa

In letter dated January 1. 1900, MT. Atkinson says, after five years ex- peiience with Peruna:
 'T will ever continne to speak good word for Peruna. In my rounds as travelling man am a walking adver- tisement for peruna and have induced many people during the past year to use Peruna with the most satisfactory results. am still cured of catarrh."
 John o. Atkinson,
 Box 2z2. Independence, Mo,
 When old age comes on, catarrhal diseases come also. Systemic catarrh is almost universal in old people.
 This explains why Peruna has become so indispensable to old people. Peruna is their safeguard. feruna is the only remedy yet devised that meets these cases exactly.
 Such cases cannot be treated locally; nothing but an effective systemic reme- dy could cure them. This is exactly what Peruna is.
 Ii you do not receive prompt and satisfactory results from the use of Pe- runa, write at once to Dr. Hratman, giving full statement of your case and he will be pleased to give you his valu- able advice gratis.

Noises Attract Snakes.

It Is a remarkable fact that there are certain kinds of noises which at tract snakes. For instance, the whirr of the moving machine, instead of soaring these reptiles, as might be supposed, seems both to allure them and enrage them, and they almost in variably dart toward 1t, rearing them selves In front of the machine. which, of course, promptly chops off their heads. In Six months so many as 120 cobras alone have thus been slaughtered on a farm in India.

SAINT AND JOSS IN NEW YORK.
A Comparison of Christian and Bud-
 dhist Observances.

dhist Cbservances.
 Long-ago missionaries. whose chron- ologic notions Were a little bit con- fused. declared that Buddhism was a palpable imitation of If not a deliber- ate steal from Christianity. Besides the similarities In tenet were those n ritual and ceremony. This likeness may be seen by any New-Yorker for himself. The heavy immigration of Neapolitans and Sicilans Las produced several celebrate Italys in New York. which celebrate the festas of home with more enthusiasm even than is ob- served in the fatherland. A feature of these celebrations Is the presentation of votiye candles to patron. saints and to the Virgin.
 On the other hand in Chinatown nearly every grocery store carries a stock of Oriental yot!ve candles. winch are presented 10 Buddha; the goddess of mercy. Qwang Yin: the god of war Qwang IT. and the god of literature, Man-Mo-Mew. These candies are made to suit all tastes, as well as all conditions of the pocket book. They range from poor, chap, little red af- fairs like the Christmas tree candles up to stately creations, four. five and six feet in length. The Italians use both red and white, while thr Chi. nese cOnfine themselves almost eXclu- siyely to red. They use white and vel low upon special occasions. white candle being symbolic of death and a yellow one of heaven, or the son of heaven, who Is the emperor of the celestial kingdom.
 Formerly both the Chinese and Ital- ians depended for their candles upon importing merchants In the last few months the manufacture has sprung up h New York and now attains fair proportions. In many respects the New York candles are better bits of workmanship than the imported ones The latter are usually softer and greasier than the former and produce a smokier light. The homemade are manufactured from stearin. pa affin or wax, although the last-narned sub stance Is growing into disuse. The finest quality imported from China are made from insect wax specially per fumed. while one variety of the Ital- ian imported Is made from clarified wax of fine quality, perfumed with the mild scent of blossoms.
 Both Italian and Chinese. says the New York Post, employ candle which Is really a shell within which the candle itself is placed and held in position by means of helical spr,Ig at the bottom of the shell. These shells are often profusely decOra ed and are strikingly handsome. The Italians prefer as ornamen;ation leaf work and geometrical patterns. while the Chinese like minute bas-reliefs O; men, gods, dragons, mountains and landscapes. A handsome sh II with candle within ranges from S1 up to $50, according to size and workman ship. It is durable and is used as an ornament In a church or a josshouse for many years.

Who Is there who dares to say that when old age is reached there Is not as much laid by in that soul wrapped in its weary body as there was in the infant full of latent power?
