@The Blood is The Life"

Science has never gone beyond the
above simple statement of scripture. But
It has Illuminated that statement and
given it meaning ever broadening with
the increasing breadth Of knowledge.
When the blood is bad" or impure IL
Is not alone the body which suffers
through disease. The brain lie also
clouded, the mind and Judgement are
effected, and many an evil deed or impure
thought may be directly traced to the
impurity of the blood. Foul, impure blood
can be made pure by the use Of DR..
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. It
enriches and purifes the blood thereby
curing, pimples, blotches, eruptions and
other cutaneous affections, as eczema,
letter, or salt-rheum, hives and other
manifestations of impure blood.

In the cure of scrofulous swellings, en-

sores, the "Golden Medical Discovery has

When did you oil your watch last?

watchmakers say that watch should

Instinct In Plants.

Climbing plants have two opposing
methods of describing spiral growth.
The plants that turn to the right in
the northern hemisphere reverse this
trend in the southern hemisphere, and
therefore, for the sake of consistency
1t may be preferable to describe the
two kinds of spiral tendency as re-
spectively ''clockwise' and Counter
clockwise," which latter can be short
ened to ''counterwise The honey
suckle and the hop turn "clockwise,"
while the convolvulus and the scarlet
runner bean Irvine "counterwise." Ex-
periments made by growing scarlet run
ner beans In Opaque cylinders, to dis
cover whether the deviation of the
twist was innate or merely from the
direction of the light, disclosed the
fact that the plant possesses an inclina-
ton resembling the instinct of animals,

Pleasures of canoslnn

The canoeist is the most independent
of men. He can push his craft through
stream three feet wide and five
inches deep, and he can safely nego-
tate any bit of water that a catboat
or moderate sized launch would care
to attempt. Canoeing is popular be-
cause it brings It's devotees out into
the open freedom and lets them live
their summer life as they will. The
canoe does for humanity what the BIZ
cycle failed TO do. The bicyclist was
tied to roads, was dependent upon ho-
tells and restaurants for food and lodg-
ing. When the hill was steep he must
alight and walk. When the road was
bad or the foot of the hill dubious he
must do likewise. The canoeist suffers
none of these restrictions He carries
with him his place of abode-his bed,
his food and the means of preparing it.
He Is not confined to well worn high
ways. He is able to penetrate and ex-
plore out Of the way streams and pitch
his tent in spots inaccessible to the
average Misunderstanding

Blond Incians.

One Of the mysteries of Mexico is
presented by the Maya Indians, who
inhabit the Sierra Madre mountains III
the lower part of Sonora. They have
fair skins, blue eyes and light hair, and
students of ethnology have always
been puzzled to account for them
There Is a tradition, however, that
these Indians are the descendants of
the crew and passengers of a Swedish
vessel wrecked on the Mexican coast
centuries before Columbus discovered
the new world. But this tradition is
founded on nothing more substantial
than a folklore tale current among
them that their ancestors came over
the big salt water hundreds of moons
ago,

rhouaht He Was a Butter Exoert.


At party the hostess said to a
guest: II want you to entertain Mr..
Blank a little. He looks bored to
death. 1 will introduce him, and you
must try to amuse him. You know his
strong point is butter, ON which he has
written a book"
The lady guest graciously undertook
the task of entertaining the man, in
wardly wondering that he should be
SO interested in butter-of which she
knew very little-when his face indi-
Gated mind given to much profound
thinking.
However, with butter in view, she
began on the weather, gradually got
to the country, then on to a farm,
from that to cows and at last to but
ter. The man looked more bored than
ever, the magic word butter producing
not the slightest effect, and he left her
somewhat abruptly and soon withdrew
from the house.
II did my best" she explained to
the hostess. 81 went through agonies
to prove that l was deeply interested
IN butter, but it was all in vain"
"Butterw exclaimed the hostess.
What possessed you to talk to that

An Eco In a Bottle.

A chemist has discovered a simple
means of getting an egg with I'm
broken shelD into a bottle of, say, the
ordinary kind, used for ginger ale.
All you have to do is to soak a boiled
egg in vinegar for three days. The
shell becomes so soft that 1t can easily
be forced through the narrow aperture
of the bottle. And once 1t is inside If
it is soaked in water for little while
the eggshell resumes Its original hard
ness-and there you are!

South America has frog of peculiar
habits. Dwelling in the virgin forests,
at the tops of the highest trees, it
chooses as site for its nursery some
hollow stump and then proceeds to
line 1t with resin procured from trees
In the neighborhood. This lining serves
to catch and hold the rainwater, with
which 1t quickly becomes filed. As
soon as this takes place the eggs are
laid therein, and here they undergo de-
velopment into tadpoles. How the re-
sin is collected is a mystery, nor is it
yet known how the separate pieces be-
come welded to form the water tight
basin necessary to insure the safety of
the treasures deposited therein.

A good highland minister was en-
deavorlng to steer boat load of citr
young ladies to a landing place. A
squall was bursting. The steering was
difficult. One of the girls annoyed him

"Oh, where are we going to?" IF you

ct. 3. AS POEM"

Thomas Bailey Aldrich was fond of
Fetelling that anecdote of his own boy
ish daring which appears in his "Ponk-
apog Papers," to the effect that upon
first entering James T. Fields office In
the Old Corner Bookstore his eyes fell
upon that kindly editor and publishers
memorandum book, open upon the ia
BILE. Mr.. Fields was absent for the
moment, and the youthful poet could
not help noticing the impressive list
of agenda: Don't forget to mail R.
W. e. his contract" Don't forget O.
W. HIS proofs" etc, whereupon the
young Milton" who certainly deserved
to succeed in his profession, wrote
upon the memorandum book, Don't
forget to accept T. B. AS poem," and
disappeared The poem was accepted,
paid for and, truest kindness of ALL as
Mr.. Aldrlch asserted, was never print
ed. But the resourceful youth never
lost his deferential attitude toward the
bearers Of those famous initiated names
that had once preceded his own.-At-

MAKING SOAP.
The Modern Process Much Like the
Old Time Method,

tHS NOOeTn PROCESS muOn Like Ine
Old Time Method.
Our great grandmothers used to
make their own soap by the following
process: A barrel was raised off the
ground sufficiently high to allow a tub
to be placed under it, and the bottom
Of the barrel was perforated with small
holes. 1t was then filled with wood
ashes, and now and then a bucket Of
water was thrown on them, which
found its way into the tub beneath AS
the water percolated through the ash
es it dissolved the potash and soda
which are always found in the ashes
Of plants, and thus a solution was at
tanned which was put into an iron boil
er with quantity of grease fat and
the mixture boiled for an hour or
longer. Salt was then added, and as
the mixture cooled a solid layer of
curd soap solidlfied on the top of the
water.
The modern process of soap making
Is practically identical, only instead of
ashes a weak solution of caustic soda
or I've is used. Fats and oils are boil
ed along with this lye, and the mix
ture is kept constantly agitated. AS
the temperature Increases stronger lye
Is used until the operation is complet-
ed. Salt is then added, and as soap
is insoluble in salt water 1t rises to
the top of the soda liquor. The lye is
then run off and a fresh solution of
soda added, after which the soap is
again boiled. The boilers are then
left for several hours to allow impuri-
ties to settle, and the soap is finally
run off into nolds and cut into bars.
Fancy soaps are generally made by
remelting ordinary soap and adding
coloring matter and perfumes.
Glycerin is an important byproduct
of soap making Mostly all fats con-
sist of glycerin and stearic acid When
they are boiled with soda the soda ex-
tracts the stearic acid from the glycer-
in, and the latter is run off with the
soda liquor when the first boiling is
completed, but it is subsequently re-
covered by distillation. - Minneapolis
