PIoWInu With Dous.

One Of our correspondents while
waiting for steamer at Eagle on the
Yukon was attracted by loud howlings
In several different keys, accompanied
by a string of fluent oaths and curses,
writes the editor of the Engineering
and Mining Journal. On investigating
the source Of the uproar he discov-
cred an indignant prospect farmer at
tempting to plow a small field with
team Of five big, shaggy "huskies "
1t was July 5, and the temperature
was IS degrees in the shade. The
poor dogs, with swollen tongues hang
ing from their mouths, were strug-
Cling gamely in the hot sun, but were
moving the plow only by small, irregu-
lar jerks. Every few minutes they
would throw themselves exhausted on
the ground, and then their excited
master would assail them with whip,
boots and verbal pyrotechnics stimuli
taneously. Altogether, it was pic
turesque, but ineffective blowing. I'm
luckily, there was no local S. P. G. A.

Wars Tax on Uniforms.

Some of the correspondents are al
ready telling us that the British sol
diers' uniforms are beginning to show
wear and tear. It used to be believed
that a good uniform would last cam
paign. That was not the experience
of 1870. In December, 1870 (says Vop
der Goltz), according to a writer ir
the Manchester Guardian, German
soldiers might have been seen plod
ding along the miry roads in the
depth of winter barefoot, while many
had only wooden shoes and liner
trousers.
When the Tenth corps marched into
LIE Mans in January scarcely a sol
dier was clothed in the regulation
manner. Civilian garments, even
French red breeches, were common,
AS is we'll known, during the South
African war the Beers stripped the
dead for supplies, and our soldiers de-
veloped quite a fancy for boots Sc
cured in this way. It was not callous
ness, but necessity developing a mat
ter of fact habit of mind.

Soldiers Mentally Affected.

Discussing the mental anguish de-
picted by the tales of suicide, mad
ness and desertion among soldiers, ITO
say nothing of mental frenzy express
ing itself in wanton murder" the Jour-
nal of the American Medical associa-
ton says that as yet there have been
no scientific studies of the effect of
war on the minds of officers and enlist
ed men. But short rations, lack of
sleep, emotionalism. exposure, exer.
ton, homesickness and so on, might
we'll unbala,nce many minds that in or
dinary conditions would pass for sane.
The first results of an inquiry in our
own army by DR.. E. King, under the
surgeon generals advice, show that
one-flfth of all the discharges for dis
ease and external cau' are on &C
count of mental diseab.. Dementia
praecox j. the most frequent form,
averaging about fifty-six per cent each
year, of all the dismissals for mental
unsoundness.

The Pocket Stove.

place and the iron crane-not so yer,
ancient, either, because our grandpar
ents used them-and even later whel
the American cooking stove was al
object of such curiosity that people
visited their fortunate neighbors tt

nouncement that a stove could bt
made which one could carry in ones

Many people have marveled the way
s. S. S. overcomes skin troubles. The ex-
PLANTATION is the fact that S. S. s. works
in the blood and the blood is really most
intricate and extraordinary mass of arteries
and veins.
When you come to realize that the skin
and the flesh beneath are composed of
network Of tiny blood vessels you solve the
mystery.
There are wonderful medicinal properties
in S. s. S. that follow the course of the
blood streams just as naturally as the most
nourishing food elements.
1t is really remarkable remedy. 1t
contains one Ingredient, the active purpose
of which Is to stimulate the tissues to the
healthy selection of it's own essential nutri-
ment And the medicinal elements of this
matchless blood purifier are just as essen
tial to well-balanced health as the nutrt
tious elements of the meats, grains, rats
and sugars of our daily food.
Not one drop of minerals or drugs 3 used
In its preparation. Ask for s. ). y. dno
just insist upon having it. And If you de-
sire skillful advice and counsel upon any
matter concerning the blood and skin, write
to the Medical Department, The swift
Snecifc Co., 529 Swift Bldg, Atlanta, Ga.
Do not allow some jealous clerks elo.
quence over something Just as good as as
S. s. s. to fool you with the same ole
mineral drugs. Beware Of all substitutes

The Insulting Grocer.

The admission Of bribery on the part
Of the New Haven lines led Jerome S

at an advertising mems banquet:

Of all capital, does it?

MUD LUMPS IN RIVER
PECULIAR FORMATIONS THAT
ARE HARD TO EXPLAIN.
Presence Of "IsIands," Forming Serious
Obstruction to Navigation, Has
Never Been Accounted for on
Scientific Basis.

The territory within a mile or two
Of each Of the mouths Of the Miss1s-
sippi is characterized by large swell
ings or upheavals Of tough, blush
gray clay, to which has been applied
the name mud Jumps"
Many Of these Jumps, says the Mem
phis Commercial Appeal, rise just off
shore and form islands having a
height or five or ten feet, but some
do not reach the water surface.
To an observer at the mouth Of the
river the idea that the region is a
great dumping ground for large
part of the United States is most i'm
pressive. The land is being built out
into the sea at an estimated average
rate Of about three hundred feet a
year. In one place in Garden Island
bay the land appears to have advanced
1000 feet in the spring Of 1912.
The mud Jumps are commonly twen-
ty to thirty feet broad and stand twen-
ty to thirty feet above the adjacent
bottom. Generally mud lump rises
in few weeks or months to height
Of four or five feet above the surface
Of the water. Then it remains quiet
and Is beaten down by the waves in
the course Of few years. Many Of
them subside, however, and some dis
appear over night.
Among the most conspicuous and
impressive features Of the mud Jumps
are the mud springs that are active
on many, If not all Of them. The dis
charge from these springs consists
of salt, watery mud and gas-in fact,
gas escapes at many places on the
surface Of the delta Of the Mississippi.
Gas rises in bubbles in all the mud
springs.
It is considered by some scientists
that the mud Jumps are produced by
a gentle seaward flow Of layers of
semi-fuid clay under the land and
the shallow water under the ends Of
the passes. The mud Jumps appear to
be the product Of flow, because in no
other places have such thick bodies
Of clay been found, and the fact that
they occur almost exclusively near
the ends of the passes and that they
are most active during and after times
Of high water seems to support this
theory.

Dividing Two Birds Among Twelve.

Dividing Two Birds Among Twelve.
Problem:
One canary bird plus one parrot, di-
Vided by twelve, equals x.
Solve for x.
Such is the problem which confronts
Judge Rothgerber in his attempts to
distribute equitably the estate of Mrs.
Christina Leonard. One canary bird
and one parrot equals a portion of the
estate to be divided among the heirs.
Twelve equals the number Of heirs,
and x equals what each will get out of
that portion.
Mrs. Linnie Herold and Mrs. r. Cur
~ were called to the bedside Of the
;estator as witnesses to her will. In
gratitude for their services, Mrs.
Leonard bequeathed to each a bird.
The law forbids witnesses to benefit
lnder will. Therefore the feathered
egacies must be divided among the
,ther heirs.-Denver News.
