SCROFULA
FROM PARENT TO CHILD

The laws of n,teoity ole lnvanaoie
and the diseased blood of parents is
handed down to children in the form OF
Scrofula. Being thus deeply rooted
nothing can reach the disease but a con.
stitutional remedy. The very foundation
of the blood is diseased, and until il is
purified and made strong, those who are
born with a scrofulous tendency cannot
have the blessing of robust health.

TIC 1u,inc;h;r srmu,,a.

The invineib!c armada was n famous
naval expedition sent by Philip III. Of
Spain against England i'll 15SS. 1t con-
sisted Of 130 vessels, 2,430 great guns,
1916 quintals of powder, nearly 10000
soldiers, above 5000 sailors and more
than 1000 volunteers. 1t arrived in the
English channel on July 10 and was
defeated the next day by Admiral
Howard, who was seconded by Drake,
Hawkins and Frobisher. Eight fire
ships having been sent into the Spanish
fleet, they bore OF in great disorder.
Protiting by the panic, the English fell
upon them and captured or destroyed
number of their ships, and Admiral
Howard maintained running fight
from July 21 to July 81, with such eff
feet that the Spanish commander, de-
spairing of success. resolved to return
home, and as escape through the Eng
lish channel! WAS prevented by con-
trary winds he undertook to sail
around the Orkneys, but the vessels
which still remained to him were dis
persed by storms or shipwreeked
among the rocks and shadows on diff
ferent parts of the Scottish and Irish
coast, and upward of 5000 men We're
drowned, killed or taken prisoners. OF
the whole armada fifty three ships only
returned to Spain and these in a
wretched condition. The English lost
but one ship.

EGGS AS FOOD.

Though Nearly Half Water They Are
Extremely Nutritious.
The white Of an egg is nearly seven
eighths water, the balance being pure
albumen. The yolk is slightly less than
one-half water. These figures apply
approximately to the eggs Of turkeys.
hens, geese. ducks and guinea fowls.
To show how nearly alike the eggs
of various domestic fowls are In re-
spect to composition, the following fig
ures are given by the department Of
agriculture:
Hens egg-Fifty per cent water, 10
per cent protein, SO per cent fat.
Ducks egg-Forty-s per cent water,
II per cent protein. 36 per cent fat.
Goose cgg-Forty-four per cent wa
ter, 10 per cent protein, SO per cent
fat.
Turkey Forty-eight per cent wa
ter. 1S per cent protein. 83 per cent fat.
1t should be explained that protein
Is the stuff that goes to make muscle
and blood. Fat Of course Is fuel for
running the body machine. Thus 1t
will be seen that eggs. though half or
nearly half water, are extremely nu-
trltlous, containing all the elements re-
quired for the building and support of
the human body. But the old saying
that an egg contains as much nutri-
ment as pound Of beefsteak Is far
from correct. 1t would be nearer the
fact to estimate pound Of eggs as
equal to n pound of lean beefsteak In
nourlshing power.-Saturday Evening

A Liberal Educution,

Professor Huxley held this opinion
as to what constitutes Il liberal educa-
ton:
The man has liberal education who
has been so trained In youth that his
body is the ready servant of his will
and does with ease and pleasure all
the work that as a mechanism it IS
capable of; whose intellect is clear,
cold, logical engine, with all its parts
of equal strength and in smooth work.
Ing order, ready, like the steam engine,
to be turned to any kind of work and
spin the gossamers as we'll as forge
the anchors of the mind; whose mind
is stored with knowledge of the great
and fundamental truths of nature and
of the laws Of her operations; one who,
no stunted ascetic, is full of life and
fire, but whose passions are trained to
come to halt by vigorous will, the
servant of IL tender conscience; who
has learned to love all beauty, whether
of nature or of art, to hate all vileness
and to respect others as himself. Such
IL one, and no other, has had liberal
education

Some Boston Bou.t..

1.-The Hotel Pelham was the first
Fren1h apartment house, or fiat, as
they have now come to call them, to be
opened in the United States" said an
old Bostonian. AT that time the late
Dr. Dix, who owned the property, had
returned from a European trip. where
he got the idea. Upon his return he
brought it with him, the Pelham was
fitted up in that way, and the idea has
continued to spread until it has gone
all over the country. Another thing
that you may have forgotten is the
fact that the Parker House was the
first hotel i'll the United Suites to be
conducted OH the European plan. 1t
was in a Boston hotel, the American
or the Revere-I forget just which one
1t was-that the elevator was first in

The Drum mcr'. Eu.,eush.

heart of many stern officer has been
moved to pity for the childish drum

days of the civil war an order was is
sued that under no circumstances
sho.td a furlough be granted. Just
then General Scott" Ohio drummer
boy, aged thirteen, became terribly
homesick and hungry for sight OF his
mother.
Poor little General Scott! He had
been in many battles. always obedient
and fearless. But he was beaten at
last. His lip quivcred and his eyes
filled with tears.
The bandmaster wrote out brief
statement of the case, but carefully
avoided asking fora furlousl, and sent
General Scott with it up the line of
officers. Generals Comfy, Hayes and
Crook each added line, and then it
was laid before Sheridan.

the hero of Winchester, .but General
Scott is hereby ordered to repair to
his mother and to report again ut

it was that one drummer boy went

Every persons feelings have a front
door and side door by which they

the street. Some keep 1t always open,
some keep it latchea, some locked,
some bolted with chain that will let

The side door opens at once into tho

The Sunday stone" Of the Oxford

drain and is Il perfect calendar of Sun
days and holidays. 1t is composed of
carbonate of lime. When miners We're
at work, the water running through
the drain left black deposit colored
by coal dust. at other times the water
ran clear, leaving the stone deposit
white. In course of time these black
and white layers formed stone Of

tutes very complete calendar. Each

At provincial theaters In France
when opera is given it is not uncom-

The Echoe. Of E.xle,. Nest.

The most wonderful echo in the
known world is that heard from the
Eagles Nest in the lake regions of Ire
land. The rock known as Eagles
Nest" is the most prominent peak to be
found among the heights that surround
the Killarney lakes. Its apex is 1850
feet above the surface of the water,
and the extraordinary echo is heard to
the best advantage from spot 100
feet to the west from an opening called
the Devils mouth. At that point the
effect Of the re-echoed sounds is abso-
lutcly startling, the slightest whisper
being repeated us often as 1000 times.
The rebound is always clear and dis
tinct and appears to come from the
crags, cliffs and peaks which surround
the experimenter on all sides.

The Drum.

The history of the drum goes back
to the childhood of the world. The
Greeks ascribe its invention to Bac-
chus. The Egyptians had 1t at least
1,G00 years before Christ. Pizarro
found drums in South American tenn
pies. The snakes Of Ireland, we are
told, fed from the island before the
drumbeats Of st. Patrick. Our Puri-
tan ancestors used the drum as u
church bell. When Sir Edmund Andros
ordered the drums to strike up" to
drown the voice Of protesting colonists,
the lights in the Hartford council cham
Der went out and the charter Of Con-
necticut disappeared In the darkness

Hearst's s Future.

Because, says the Des Moines Re-
gister and Leader, whatever the final
outcome of the New York mayoralty
contest, there is bound to be grow
ing interest in the personality of
William Randolph Hearst, we repub-
lish his closing speech of the cam
paign. Our report is taken from
The columns of the Brooklyn Eagle,
an unfriendly newspaper, therefore
nothing in It's delivery nor in the
conduct of his audience that might
prejudice him would be omitted or
covered up.
1t is evident no possible previous
preparation could have qualified any
man for the delivery of such a
speech at such a time if lie himself
were not master of the situation. 1t
is a speech that could not have been
memorized, could not have been
written by another, and sould not
have been used if 1t were not origin
al. 1t proves conclusively that how
ever much Arthur Brisbane may
have influenced Mr.. Hearst or done
to mold his style, he is not after all
the real Mr.. Hearst. Mr.. Hearst has
won out of his campaign the right to
be considered as an individual fact
or i'll public affairs in his own right.
There is force, vigor, directness,
and sagacity in this closing appeal
1t is in all respects an ideal speech
for the finish of such campaign as
the municipal ownership league had
conducted. There is probably not
political orator in the country who
could have stated his case more con-
cisely. There is ring in the short,
direct, New York American editorial
paragraph sentences that suggests
That Mr.. Hearst might become an
orator. In any event, the speech
proves conclusivcly that Mr.. Hearst
is force that must be taken into ac-
count for something besides his for
tune and his newspapers.
1t will not do to overlook what is
behind the Hearst movement. This
movement will be sneered at and
ridicu!ed. 1t will be called another
Jack Cade rebellion. But there is
something in it more than a mere
temporary ebulition of popular un-
rest. Mr.. Hearst is a young man.
He has the wealth, and the means of
reaching the people. He has the
ambition and energy. He appeals
to a fundamental sentiment that de-
mocracy means substantial equality
Of rights, to the feeling that a baron
is baron, whether he be the lord of
a little manor or the lord of great
monopoly. If Mr.. Hearst and those
who are with him are not to come in
to control Of the destinies of this
country it will be because the natur-
ally conservative lose no time in set,
ting up for themselves an ideal of
true democracy, industrial as well as
political democracy, and work to it
without fear or favor. And it will
not do to count too confidently on
posiponing the date of beginning
beyond the next national election.

A mob is usually creature of very
mysterious existence, particularly in IL

whittier it goes few men can tell. AS
sembling and dispensing with equal

nor does the parallel stop here, for

Brigadier General Frederick d.

owed S94 to his post club for some
time and General Grant, on being
to, questioned the officer.
The latter said he would pay in small
installments, but in few days he
applied for leave OF absence. The
general said that under the circum-
stances it would be too expensive for
the applicant to go on leave, since
by his own admission he could only
pay a few dollars per month on the
debt. The officers plea that he was
in poor health proved in vain and
not until his debt was llquidated did
the general grant leave.
