Scrofula, a Vile
Inheritance.
Scrofula is the most obstinate of blood
troubles, and is often the result of an
inherited taint in the blood. S. S. S.
is the only remedy which goes deep
enough to reach Scrofula; it forces out
every trace of the disease, and cures
the worst oases.
My son, Charlie, was afflicted from Infancy
with Scrofula, and he suffered so that It was

affected. No treatment

If you wish to be miserable, you
must think about yourself, about
what you want, what you like, what
respect people ought to pay you; and
then to you nothing will be pure.
You will spoil everything you touch,
you will make sin and misery for
yourself out of everything which
God sends you; you will be as
wretched as you choose.

Elizabeth Cromwell.
Cromwell legends are so übiquitouo
in England that it is a real relief to lay
one’s hand upon a bit of solid fact re
lating either to the protector or his
family. Elizabeth, the second and fa
vorite daughter of Cromwell, married
John Claypole of Northborough, and
appears to have spent a considerable
portion of her 12 years of wedded life
in his substantial fourteenth century
house. Carlyle asserts Elizabeth Clay
pole to have been “a graceful, brave
and amiable woman," and of her home
that it is “now ruined —patched into
a farmhouse. ’’
The second statement is not charac
terized by his usual accuracy, and the
first probably needs some modification,
for Elizabeth Claypole is credited with
some turning of her head over her fa
ther’s elevation, and at a wedding
feast is reported to have exclaimed,
when asked why the wives of the major
generals were absent, “I’ll warrant
you, washing their dishes at home, as
they used to do.” Not a particularly
‘‘amiable’’ sentence that.
Cromwell seems to have had some
insight of her little weakness. “Tell
her,” he wrote once, “to take heed of a
departing heart and of being cozened
with worldly vanities and worldly com
pany, which, I doubt, she is too subject
to.” It is agreed by most authorities
that John Claypole himseltf was little
enough of a Puritan, but let it stand to
his credit that, after Oliver died, he
provided a haven for his widow for the
rest of her life in this manor house.—

Barbera on the Ocean.
One of the most important persons on ;
board a well equipped ocean liner is the
barber. If he is gifted with a gojod busi
ness instinct, he is in a position to make ,
a good deal of money.
To the average man shaving while at
sea is a difficult and hazardous opera
tion. He therefore calls into requisition
the services of the ship’s barber, a man
who by long training is qualified to
wield the razor with skill and safety,
no matter how much the vessel rolls or
pitches.
He is always one of the most heavily
“tipped” officials on the ship. If the
ship travels on a route with interesting
ports of call, the ship’s barber makes it
his business to lay in a stock of native
knickknacks and curios of all kinds.
The inexperienced traveler is natu
rally a little suspicious of the native
peddlers who swarm on board with their
wares directly the ship is at anchor. He
prefers to purchase his mementos of
foreign travel of the barber, who, hav
ing bought his stock at wholesale rates,
is able to retail the various articles to
passengers at prices little if at all high- ,
er than those charged by the native
tradesman.—'Exchange.

rue Sea Gall and the Fisherman,
In the fishing village of Auchmithie
(the Musselcraig of Scctt’a “Anti
quary”) you may frequently witness
sea gulls fiying into the houses of the
fishermen and partaking of food from
their hands. One of these sea birds was
in the habit of staying in a fisherman’s
house all the year round except at the
breeding season, when it left. Quite re
cently, while the gull was away, the
fisherman removed his home from
Auchmithie to Arbroath (the Fairport
of Scott’s “Antiquary”), distant some
miles from the former place, taking
up his residence in South street of Ar
broath. The fisherman never expected
to see his old friend the gull again. It
was therefore much to his astonishment
that he beheld a fortnight later the sea
bird come walking into his new resi
dence with stately steps to resume his
old familiarities and household ways
with his housekeeper.—London Lady.

Goldsmith's Actor.
Lord Nugent was one evening very
eloquent 80 Goldsmith in praise of M.
(a bad actor). “But, my lord,” said
Goldsmith, “you must allow he treads
the stage very ill—he waddles. ” “Wad
dles?” said Lord Nugent. “Yes, he wad
dles like a goose. Why, you know we
call him Goose M.” “Well, aijd then,
you know, when he endeavors to ex
press strong passion he bellows.” "Bel
lows?” said I-tord Nugent. "To be sure
he does —bellows like a bull. Why, we
call him Bull M.” "Well, then,” con
tinued Goldsmith, pursuing his tri
umph, "his voice breaks and he
croaks.” "Croaks?” said Lord Nugent.
“Why, the fellow croaks like a frog.
We call him Frog M. But M. is a good
actor. ”
“Why, yes,” said Goldsmith, "bar
ring the goose, and the bull, and the
frog, and a few other things I eould
mention, and not wishing to speak ill
of my neighbors, I will allow M. ia a
good actor. ” —"Memoirs of the Earl of

Horseshoe*.
In Japan most of the horses are shod
with straw Even the clumsiest of cart
horses wear straw shoes, which, in
their cases, are tied around the ankle
with straw rope and are made of the
ordinary rice straw, braided so as to
form a sole for the foot about half an
inch thick. These soles cost about a
halfpenny a pair. In Iceland horses are
shod with sheep’s horn. In discussing
this subject a writer in The Horse
shoer’s Journal says: In the valley of
the Upper Oxus the antlers of the
mountain deer are used for the same
purpose, the shoes being fastened with
horn pins. In the Sudan the horses are
shod with socks made of camel’s skin.
In Australia horseshoes are made of
cowhide. A German not long ago in
vented a horseshoe of paper, prepared
by saturating with oil, turpentine and
other ingredients. Thin layers of such
paper are glued to the hoof till the re
quisite thickness is attained, and the
shoes thus made are durable and im
penetrable by moisture.

A Disputed Hero.
“I awppose that Wbittem is a great
hero in your community,” said a De
troiter to a friend from one of the in
terior towns.
"Oh, I don’t know!”
“Don’t know? Why, man, his bravery
was remarkable! I read all about it in
the papers. When his store was on fire,
be rushed to the scene, disregarded the
warnings shouted to him, jrashed his
way through the blinding smoke and
seething flames and dropping firebrands
to his office, dropped on bis knees in
the live coals before the safe, worked
the hot knob until the combination
caused the glowing doors to open, seized
a valuable paper, rammed it beneath
his vest to protect it from the raging
element and staggered forth again fron>
the consuming caldron. It was one of
the most thrilling acts of bravery I ever
heard of.” ■
“Do you happen to know what thafl
paper was for which Whittem risketfl
his life?” ■
"No, but it must have been a verw
important document. No man woulcl
incur such danger without his very for
tune was at stake. ”
“You’d think so, wouldn’t you?
Well, sir, that paper was the pedigree
of Whittem’s trottin boss that never
beat 2:28 and never will.”—Detroit

Hope of a Disturbance.
He had been tossed about uncomfort
ably for 30 years. He had a gentle, con
templative, book reading disposition,
was fond of pretty things, good man
ners and repose. But he had had to
work hard at things which ruffled his
spirit. “Intolerable” was the word most
frequently on his lips. But now he has
an easy, salaried position, congenial
work, and for the time is comfortable.
The other evening he sat in his cheer
ful apartment, with a warm dressing
gown about him, and talked to a friend
about how the troubles of life had fallen
away from him, how at last he had ar
rived in the haven. His friend told him
that he was just in the condition to ex
perience a new disturbance, deeper than
all the others; that this rest was only a
lull in the storm.
"What do you mean?” he asked.
The reply was a counter question.
"Are you as much resolved as ever
to live alone?” this friend asked.
There was a pause. Then the contem
plative man said slowly, "As an ab
stract proposition marriage doesn’t seem
as disagreeable to me as it did. ” *
His friend smiled. "You will find
that yon will be deeply disturbed again
before very Jong,” he said.—New York

Mellowing: Saperatitioaa.
Mr. Elbert Hubbard, speaking of
Meiseonier in The Philistine, says that
the temperament of the painters’ moth
er "was poetic, religious and her spirit
had in it a touch of superstition—which
is the case with all really excellent
women. ”
Mr. Hubbard is right A child can
not be handicapped more severely than
by a mathematically precise, “clear
headed, ” well informed, unimaginative
mother. There are wretched households
in which fairy stories are tabooed as
“absurd,” in which the "Arabian
Nights” is pooh poohed, in which prim
ers of science are forced upon little
hands in which there is no Santa Glaus,
no stork, no werewolf, no goblin.
A superstitious mother sees signs and
omens for her children. To find her
throwing spilled salt over her shoulder
or looking anxiously for the favoring
position of the new moon is a more
agreeable sight than to discover her in
the act of teaching indisputable facts.

Landor’i Retort at School.
One day in full school Master Lan

beauty. He had his Livy in one hand
and this apple in the other and read
and read and munched and munched
till the sound struck the doctor. He
espied the delinquent and ordered him
to bring that apple to him. He put it
on his desk, coram populo, and then,
half relenting, said: “There, sir. Now,
if yon want that again you had better
go and sit down and make me a short
line on the occasion. ” “Ob, I can do
that and stand here, ” says Master Lan
der. “Do it then. ” The boy thought a
moment, and soon obliged him with a
pentameter, “Esuriens doctor dnlcia

“Hum!” says Dr. James. “Andpray,
’sir, what do you mean by e-su-riens

you are too hard for me, ” said the

The Mad Poet’a Retort.
Many stories are told of McDonald
Clarke, known 50 years ago in New
York as the "Mad Poet,’’which show
that he had a vein of great shrewdness,
such as is often possessed by people
who are counted insane.
One day he was seated at a table in a
New York hotel quietly eating his sim
ple dinner when two young men took
their seats at the same table. They were
not gentlemen in the best sense of the
word, and it occurred to them that they
might have some sport with the poor
poet. Consequently one of them said in
an unnecessarily clear tone:
“I have seen almost everything and
everybody in New York except McDon
ald Clarke. I have a great admiration
. for his poems, and I would give a great
deal to see the man. ”
When he paused, the mad poet leaned
. forward and said with evident gratifica-
I tion:
I "Sir, lam McDonald Clarke, whom
I you say you wish <0 see. ”
I The young man stared at him with
I much rudeness for a moment, and then,
drawing a quarter from his pocket, he
laid it on the poet’s plate, saying,
“That’s for the sight!”
Clarke looked at the coin for an in
stant, and then, placing it in his pocket,
he took out a “York shilling,”
cents. This he handed to the young
man, saying gravely, “Children half
price.”—Youth’s Companion
A Decidedly Novel Claim.

ship to himself. He accordingly paid
another native S2OO to procure for him
the coveted goods.
The assistant took the money and did
his best to earn it, but Mr. Cameron
had perversely locked up the very arti
cles that the fellow’s employer had set
his heart upon. The man could not car
ry out his bargain, and neither did he
feel that be could part with the money.
Therefore he ran off with it. What
more logical fhan that the man who
was the loser by S2OO should expect the
explorer to make the loss good? This he
assuredly did expect.
He went to Mr. Cameron and told
him the story, demanding in the first
place the S2OO which he, Cameron, by
looking up bis goods, had compelled the
complainant to lose, and, secondly, the
actual price of the goods themselves,
which, but for these arbitrary measures,
would now have been in his possession.
It is not stated that his expectations
were realized.—Watchman.
Sterne’s Destitution.
Laurence Sterne, the writer, was the
victim of the intensest poverty. A little
time before his death, being in a state
of destitution, he went one evening to
borrow £5 from his friend Garrick.
Upon arriving, be heard music and
knew that a party was going on. He
heard the merry laughter, and, gently
replacing the uplifted knocker, retraced
his steps.
We never feel our miseries so keenly
as when contrasted with the joys of
others, and it is only then that we re
alize Wordsworth’s picture:
And homeless near a thpusand homes 1 stood
And near a thousand tables pined for food.
Another story of this writer does not
evoke so much sympathy. It was known
that Sterne used his wife very ill, and
in talking with Garrick one day in fine
sentimental style of conjugal love and
fidelity he said, “The husband who be
haves unkindly to his wife deserves to
have his house burn down over his
head. ”
iilf you think so,” said Garrick
quietly, “I hope yoars is well insured.’
A Malay Saltan’s Letter.
In the cover there were three inolo
enres—a formal letter of extreme polite
ness, written by a scribe; secondly a
letter written in my friend’s own hand;
and another paper, headed,
“Hidden Secrets,” written also in the
sultan’s own hand. At the top of the
first page of the second letter is writ
ten, “Our friendship is sealed in the
inmost recesses of my heart” Then
this, “I send this letter to my honored
and renowned friend” (here follow my
name, designation and some conven
tional compliments). The letter then
continues: "You, my dear friend, are
never out of my thoughts, and they are
always wishing you well. I hear that
you are coming to see me, and for that
reason my heart is exceedingly glad, as
though the moon had fallen into my
lap or I had been given a cluster of
flowers grown in the garden called
Benjerana Sri, wMe opening under the
influence of the sun’s warm rays.”—

This, says The Scottish Leader, is a
genuine extract from a schoolboy’s re
cent "Essay on Nelson:”
"Oh! Harding, kiss me again, "were
the butefull words of a heroik mortal
who won a grate battle with one eye
and a wooden leg. Before the bloody
context this motto was uttered by him.
"The queen expects every man to do his
duty.” When he died the queen met
him in a boat and he went to St. Paul’s
and was buried. This is a marvelous
lesson to me and all schoolboys. Do
your duty to your parstors and masters
and then even with a single leg you can
say, "with this simple thing I will do
my duty.” As Nelson himself said,
“Even though you are only man yon
can do your duty.”

The Platform Woman.
“The platform woman never haa been,
a credit to, but ever a blot upon, Amer
ican womanhood. I make this emphatic
statement from a personal knowledge
of the homes which these women leave
behind when they go to their meet
ings, ” writes Edward Bok in The La
dies’ Home Journal.
“I have seen the rooms of their
homes left in wild disorder; I have seen
their servants sitting in idleness with
work on every hand to do; I have seen
the children neglected and left to their
own devices; I have heard husbands
speak in derision of the motives of their
wives. No woman in a happy American
home can ever afford to listen to these
parasites of her sex.
“Fortunately, the platform woman’s
influence is steadily on the wane. She
was never a power. She was never even
picturesque. Her worst injury wae
wrought upon certain weak women who
for the time she deluded. But oven
with them she was sooi) regarded with
wonder rather than with interest; with
suspicion rather than with confidence
The disappearance of the platform wo
man is a case of a blot being blotted
out ”

A year later, however, she returned.
