Peru Claims Kurokl.

Gen. Kuroki the famous Japanese
soldier, has been variously described
as of Polish, Russian and German ex-
traction. Another interesting chap
ter has been added to this genealogical
symposium byay official publication
in the Official Gazette, Of Lima, Peru,
which makes the claim, and submits
a plausible statement of facts to prove
II. that Kurolxi's father was peruvian
patriot whose name was Translto
Charroqui. 1t is also declared that
The generals father was descendant
Of the Incas; who themselves are be-
lieved to have been descendants OF an
Asiatic race, so KuroSi is an atavlsm
and has come into his own in the LAND
of his fathers.

Keen Your Blood Pure.

No one can be happy, light-hearted
and healthy with a body full of blood
that cannot do it's duty to every part
because of it's impurity; therefore, the
first and most important work in hand
is to purify the blood so that every
organ will get the full benefit OF
healthy circulation. There is no rem
edy so good as that old family rem
edy, Brandreth's Pills. Each pill con-
tains one grain of the solid extract Of
sarsaparilla blended with two grains
of a combination of pure and mild
vegetable products, making 1t blood
purifier unexcelled in character. One
or two taken every night for awhile
will produce surprising results.
Brandreth's Pills have been in use
for over a century, and are tIr' sale
everywhere, plain or sugar-coated.

RothschiIds Never Prosecute.

While the Bank of England makes
it a point never under any circum-
stances to relinquish the prosecution
of those who have defrauded it in the
slightest degree, being willing, if need
be, to spend thousands of pounds to
capture and prosecute people who
have robbed it of even few shillings,
the Rothschilds make it a rule never
to appeal to the courts or to the police
In such matters. OF course, they are,
like every other banker, occasionally
the victims of dishonesty, but neither
the police nor the public ever hear
about the matter. This has always
been a principle of the heads of the
house, who take the ground that it is
better to bear the loss in silepee than
to disturb popular confidence in the
safety of the concern by allowing 1T
to be seen that it's treasures are not
adequately safeguarded.

Horses Still In Demand.

Happily the horse has faculty for
upsetting the gloomy predictions that
he is fated to be put out of business
by the automobile. The horse business
has kept right on developing in spite
of the fact that the automobile indus
try has been engaged in similar un-
dertaking. The demand for horses Is
STILL great. The supply OF some
classes of them is inadequate. The
prices are high. The automobile may
scare the horse into the ditch, but
it isn't likely to crowd him to the wall.
There will always be field for the
horse, as there will always be a field
for the omobile.-Hartford Times.

a GENTEEL "HOLD-UP."

In my chlIdhoOd at home, my IaIher
was often away for week or longer,
working or looking for work. My
mother had a notion that boy should
be punished only by his father; so,
whenever she caught me in what she
regarded as serious transgression,
she used to say: You will get good
whipping for this, when your father
comes home" At first | used to wait
passively, suffering the torments of
ten thrashings before the good whip

staked myself, and that myself was
wholly different person from what

face to face with that unfathomable
mystery of sex-affinity that every man
laughs at and mocks another man for
believing in, until he has himself felt
it drawing him against will, against
reason, and sense, and interest, over
the brink of destruction yawning be-
fore his eyes-drawing him as the

The Life of Bells.

Comparatively few people know
that ringing a bell ruins it. That is,
a bell has a definite length of life,
and after so many blows will break.
A 900 pound bell, struck blows of lis
foot pounds of force, broke after H..
600 blows. A 1000 pound bell broke
after $4,000 blows of $50 foot pounds
force. A steel composition bell
weighing 1000 pounds broke after "a
blows of $50 foot pounds, but its
maker said it was calculated for 9
lighter blow.

This is made by sprinkling little
salt over fresh button mushrooms;
let stand for three hours, then mash
them.
The next day strain off the liquor;

This will not keep long, but can be
made during the season. Mush
