William Springer, of Hughesville, is
now stronger believer than ever in
large families. He is the father of
eighteen children. and this fact alone
kept him from going to Jail or aying

skunk skins. The citizens of Hughes
Vile petitioned court for leniency be-
cause Springer was the only means of

0AmericanismA.v

Fired out commonly supposed to
be an "Americanism," has been traced
home to Shakespeare. In one Of his
sonnets he says:
Yet this shall I ne'er know, but live in
doubt
TIL my bad angel fire my good one out.
Say" as an exclamation to attract
attention to the beginning of remark,
is common enough and not very ele-
CANT At least so thought a school
teacher who resolved to break his pu-
pills of the habit of using it. A bright
one quoted, however, this from THE

often expressed, that DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root, the great kidney remedy fulfils every
wish in curing rheumatism, pain in the
back, kidneys, liver bladder and every part
Of the urinary passage. 1t corrects inability
to hold water and scalding pain in passing
it, or bad effects following use OF liquor,
wine or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant
necessity of being compelled to 60 often
during the day, and TO get up many times
during the night. The mild and the extra
ordinary effect of Swamp-Root is soon
realized. 1t stands the highest for its won
derful cures Of the most distressing cases.

put him under the care of doctors.
Under their treatment the disease

it would be cracked, inflamed and bad

SPAIN FAR BEHIND NATIONS.
llIiteracy Prevails There to a Most
Amazing Extent.

OF the 100000 people inhabiting
Spain, only about 35 per cent can
read and write; another two and one
half per cent. of the population can
read without being able to write, but
the remaining 621s per cent. are alb
solute illiterates. In the south of
Spain it is impossible to get a serv-
ant who can read and write, and
many of the postmen are unable to
tell to whom the letters they carry
are addressed. They bring a bun
die of letters to a house and the
owner looks through them and takes
those which are Tor which he thinks
are) addressed to him. The Spanish
postmen are not paid by the state;
the recipient of the letters have to
remunerate them according to the
amount of their correspondence, and
each letter costs the addressee at
least one cent 1t is a joke among
the easy going Spaniards that he who
treats the postmen best receives the
most letters-whether they are in
tended for him or not.

Few to Enact Role of Spy.
But the vengeance of the liquor
syndicate was no less far-reaching
than that of the Illicit diamond brok-
ers at Kimberley, and thus it occurred
that the role of Noah Claypole was
never a popular one.
To-day the traffic is chiefly in opium
The importation of $4,000 coolies from
China, accustomed to smoking it, has
led to an Unsuitable demand for the
product Upon the Rand, the name
given to the districts along the gold
reef, there exists yellow population
of indentured enthusiastically serfs
equal in number to all the whites in
johannesburg. Lodged in overcrowded
compounds, where they are confined
like animals, liable to be fogged for
any infraction of discipline by their
white overseers, who have learned the
summary ways of the Beers with ma
tives, from time to time some of this
seething horde overwhelms it's guards,
breaks out, and takes to a life of pill
lage and murder along the outlying
districts.
South Africa is not an especially
law-abiding country, and the punish
ment of the opium smuggler is usually
summary. He is offered the choice
between a fogging and period of
Imprisonment, and, of course, chooses
the former. Thereupon he is strapped
tightly to a wagon wheel and receives
so lashes from whip of hippopOtamus
hide, welded by half-castes. These
men, delighted at taking their revenge
upon one of the white race, do not
spare the victim. His back is literally
cut to pieces, and at the end, half
dead and streaming with blood, he is
flung out of the compound.
