THOUGHT HAM HAUNTED.

Why Southern Negro Would Not
Move the Meat.
1T Is often curious to observe the
play Of superstition in the nature Of
the black man." said writer in the
New Orleans Times-D Democrat; "and
1t is really astounding at times to note
the total ignorance Of the law of cause
and effect which Is to be found among
members Of the black race. Recently
had occasion to observe rather
striking instance Of the point have in
mind. It was during hog-killing time
out in my country home. Part Of a
hog had been left out on platform
and the thing have in mind happened
along late in the evening. just as the
day was merging into darkness.
Now. 1t is well-known fact that
the negro, In common with other peo-
pies who believe in ghosts, associate
these uncanny members with darkness.
One Of the negroes Of the place was
engaged In taking the meat from the
platform into the smokehouse, where
it was being salted down. Now note
what happened. 1t is dusk. The
shadowy part Of the day had set in.
1t was bordering on ghost time. When
the negro was on his way to the plat
form to get the last piece OF meat
which had been left he noticed that
It was moving restlessly on the plat
form. Did he get it? Not much. He
uld not get close enough to touch it.
He not only remained religiously away
from the piece Of haunted meat, but
he refused positively to leave his
white friends. and when they pressed
him for an explanation Of his con-
duct he told them just what the matter
was. Boss he said, seriously, dat
ham suttenly Is ha'nted'
Cf course, the trouble was soon
Strengthened out. There was cat I'M
der the platform, and the feline men,
Der was pulling away at the meat with
vigor. The white men explained to
the negro that there was no ghost, that
It was nothing but cat that had been
hanging around all day. But note the
darky's skepticism: 'Mebbe SO, boss,
he said. but hasn't seed de cat

PURE BLOOD
Blood Impurities of Spring
time Cause, Proven
ton and Cure.

DIR. Hartman's medical lectures are
eagerly scanned by many thousand
readers.
One of the most timely and interest
ing lectures he ever delivered was his
recent lecture. on the blood impurities
of spring.
The doctor said in substance that
every spring the blood is loaded with
the effete accumulations of winter,
deranging the digestion, producing
sluggishness of the liver, overtaxing
the kidneys, interfering with the ac-
ton of the bowels and the proper cir
culation of the blood.
This condition of things produces
what is popularity known as spring
fever. spring malaria, nervous exhaus-
ton, that tired feeling, blood thicken-
ing and many other names.
Sometimes the victim is ilious, dys-
peptic and constipated; sometimes he

pended on symbols in the buoyancy
chamber of the torpedo. Attached to its
axis is steel spring connected with the
tooth gearing. A rod to the air lever
actuates it. When the lever is thrown
back the spring is released, and the
gyroscope spins around at the rate Of
1920 revolutions minute. In his book
on "Torpedoes and Torpedo Vessels, !"
Lieut.. Armstrong, of the British navy,
says:
"The gyroscope works a servo-motor,
actuating a pair Of movable vertical
rudders placed in recesses in the YER
teal fms. These rudders, be it re-
membered, are therefore supplement-
airy to the small adjusted vertical rud-
ders ordinarily fitted, but which may
be discarded If gyroscope is being
used If, now, the torpedo from any
cause, external or internal, be de-
fiected out OF the line of fire, the gy-
roscope, by maintaining Its axial posi-
ton in the line of fire, acts on the
seryo-motor, and by means of the YER
teal rudders steers the torpedo back
again to it's original position"
Thus the torpedo is endowed with a
brain. SO to speak, that directs its
course through the waves on its mis-
sion of death.

Hear the sullen roar
OF the guns on the shore
"The dogs OF war are loose"
See the flying shells,
Hear the victors' yells---
THE dogs of war are loose"
Now the slow retreat,
OF beaten, shattered feet,
And pursuit by the enemy bold
IT'S story old
That will ever be told,
When the dogs of war are loose.
Hark! The bugle call,
In line columns fall,
THE dogs of war are loose"
Marching to the front
To stand the battle brunt--
"The dogs Of war are loose"
Flag they must defend,
To the bitter end,
Be their country right or wrong;
Join the battle song,
As they march along,
When the dogs Of war are loose.''
Many tear dimmed eyes,
And many good-byes-
THE dogs of war are loose"
Mothers heart must ache,
All for her country's sake,
"Thedogs Of war are loose"
She'll recall with pride,
How her dear boy died,
When nation pays him honor's need,
Scrolls Of fame, should read:
Thank his mother for the deed"
When the dogs of war are loose.

You may make for yourself an in
teresting book by constructing
scrap-book devoted to one subject.
One young girl with strong interest
In the life of Mary Queen of Scots
has collected from magazines and
other sources articles, illustrated or
not, as 1t happens, verses, pictures Of
buildings and localities, and portraits
relating to this heroine, and has put
them into a single scrap-book, making
volume in which she takes much
pride. When she cannot obtain a
printed copy of an extract she wishes
to add, she does not hesitate to COPY
1t out neatly upon the pages Of her
book-which is merely a large com
position book"
The educational value of such work
Is by no means slight, since to know
one thing well done must needs learn
much Of many others. Indeed, 1t has
been said more than once that to
know one thing completely we should
have to know all things.
There Is a good suggestion here.
You will be surprised, If you begin to
gather material upon some topic, to
see how much is printed about your
favorite subject. One word of caution.
Do not choose too wide a subject
Make your limits narrow enough to
be within your scope. Your scrap
book need not be upon history or lit.
erature, but 1t should be concerned
with something worth the time you
mean to spend upon it.-St. Nicholas.

Mandt, aclerk in the store, stood
on the opposite side Of the street
and saw the burglar enter. Mr..
Mandt had left the store shortly
before closing time and had gone
stothe barber shop. +. P. Mann,
and another clerk closed the store
"a few minutes before ten q clock
and after Mandt had left. AS
the latter was going home he OBJ
served two men at the front door

" entered the building. Suppos-
ing it was Mr.. Mann and a clerk
he waited for him to return and
walk home with him. After
waiting a few minutes the man
returned with an armload Of.
goods, and after being joined by
his partner, walked deliberately
from the store. Mandt then saw
that something was wrong and
gave chase, but the robbers could
not be found.
The party was evidently well
acquainted with the store and
the habits Of the proprietor and
clerks. After entering the dry.
goods department he passed
directly through the building to
the clothing and glove depart
I1nerlt. Here he took several
pairs Of costly pants, a lot Of
Woolen shirts, and several pairs
Eof buckskin gloves. He carried
them out openly on his arm and

could be found.

They were joined about six
weeks later at Liverpool by Mrs.

Switzerland France, England,

sailing on the return trip from
Hamburg to Liverpool and from
there to New z York.
Mr.. Maher gave the Inter
Ocean quite an pertaining ac-
count ofsthe countries and cities

sof the various count tries and peo-
pies.
He says London was disap-
pointing in the character Of the
uildings, many Of themsb being
small and old. There are no
American sky yscrapers, most Of
the buildings being three and
four stories. i
Naples, he thinks, is the most
beautiful citySin the world with
its splendid buildings combining
the modern and mad@vial beau
ty, and the beautiful bay and the
grandeur of Vesuvius make a
scene that can not be forgotten.
The party spent five days in
Rome, where the historic past

The trip through the famous
st. Gothard tunnel with its three

Switzerland are the most pros
porous Of any he saw.
In France the wheat crop was
( ruined BY the edrouth, from which
all Europe was suffering. Fields
that should have yielded forty
