Sacrificed to
Blood Poison.
Those who have never had Blood Poi
■on can not know what a desperate con'
dition it can produce. This terribh
disease which the doctors are totallj
unable to eure, is communicated from
one generation to another, inflicting its
taint upon countless innocent ones.
Some years ago I was inoculated with poisox
by a nurae who infected my babe with bloo4
taint. The little one was
unequal to the struggle,
and its life was yielded
up to the fearful poison.
For six long years I suf
fered untold misery. I
was covered with sores
and ulcers from head to
foot, and no language
oan express my feelings
of woe during those long
years. I had the best
medical treatment. Sev
eral physicians succes J
sively treated me, but all
to no purpose. Tiie mer-
cury and potash seemed to add fuel to th<
awful flame which was devouring me. I wa|
advised by friends who had seen wonderftt
cures made by it, to try Swift’s Speclfio. W<
got two bottles, and I felt hope again reVtve 11
my breast—hope for health and happinesi
again. I improved from the start, and a oom*

Is Leprosy Coming?
A warning, which is “important if
true,” has been sounded.
Capt. Walter S. Milner, who re
cently returned to Seattle after in
vestigating the spread of leprosy in
the Hawaiian island, has reached
this conclusion, that it will be about
ten or fifteen years before there will
be an epidemic of the dread disease
in the United States. He says it
will be brought here by United
States troops who stopped over at
Honolulu on their way to Manila.
With leprosy already introduced
upon the islands (it matters little
how and has not yet been deter
mined) it is not difficult to imagine
how it succeeded in spreading so
frightfully under the conditions ex
isting. It was into this vitiated at
mosphere that a lot of reckless, rol
licking American soldiers were
dumped for awhile, and it is through
the carelessness of some in seeking
dissipation that an outbreak of lep
rosy can be expected in the United
States.

eye, clear the complexion and insure the
natural bloom of health, use Dr. M. A.

Patti’s Third Husband.
Baron Cedarstrom. is Mme Patti’s
third husband. Her first was the
Marquis de Caux, a Frenchman, to
whom she was married in London on
July 29, 1868. The marriage was
considered a love match. In 1871
Mme. Patti made the acquaintance of
Signor Nicolini, the Italian tenor,
who was destined to become ber sec
ond husband. Nicolini was married
and had five children. The acquain
tance was begun in a professional
way, but soon resulted in Nicolini’s
becoming devotedly attached to Mme.
Patti whom he accompanied on her
tours. The Marquis de Caux got a
divorce. Mme Patti and Nicolini
were married on June 10, 1886, at
Ystradgyniais, Wales, and lived hap
pily together. At Nicolini’s death,
which occurred on Jan. 18, 1898,
Mme Patti showed great grief and it
was said that for a time she med
itated going into a convent.

Newspapers and the War.
It is probable that no previous war
has been so elaborately and exhaus
tively reported by so many newspa
pers as our recent war with Spain,
and while our great journals covered
themselves with glory and made mar
velous records of enterprise and abil
ity, they have good reason for con
gratulation that the war lasted no
longer than it did. Many thought
less people who looked only at the
increased sale of papers, and knew
nothing of the expense incurred in
getting the news, thought the war
was a great thing for the newspapers.
In an interesting article on this sub
ject in the Cosmopolitan maga
zine Mr. Arthur Brisbane declares
that had the war continued for two
years and been reported on the same
scale it would have bankrupted the
resources of every first-class news
paper in New York. He declares
that every newspaper of the first-class
has run far behind since the outbreak
of the war, and that the New York
Journal bad a war expense of more
than >3,000 a day, or a million dol
lars a year—enough to eliminate all
the profits of the most profitable
newspaper in America. The Jour
nal bad 10 sea-going craft io com
mission and a corps of about 25
special correspondents of the best
available talent. The cable tolls from
Cuba and Porto Rico were from 50
to 80 cents a word, while from Hong
Kong the rate was from >1.45 to
>I.BO. On messages sent from the
newspaper offices to correspondents
□o press rate was allowed, and the
cost was >2 66 a word.
It can be seen, therefore, that while
our great newspapers are to be com
mended for the enterprise displayed
in covering every detail of the war,
they made more reputation than
money. The New York Journal fre
quently published as many as 40 edi
tions a day, but the newsboys were
about the only ones who made any
money out of them. The idea that
the war was a bonanza for the news
papers is based upon the calculation
of largely increased sales, without
taking into consideration the tremen
dous expense incurred in securing
the news.

DUNLAP A PICKRM.L.
Wed by Telephone 78 Miles Apart.
After marrying Nellie G. Maxwell,
of Williamsport, Pa., over a long dis
tance telephone, Harry A. Rani z of
Elmira, took the first train he could
get and traveled seventy-eight miles
to find bis bride. This form of wed
ding ceremony was decided upon for
the novelty of the thing.
The service was conducted by the
Rev. Dr. Isaac Jennings of the First
Presbyterian church of Elmira. The
groom, best man and a few friends
were at Elmira. The bride and
bridesmaid, wilh her father and
friends, were at Williamsport. Spe
cial telephones were furnished, the
operators acting as witnesses to the
ceremony.
The full marriage service, respon
ses and all, was gone through in due
form. The bride put the ring on hi r
own finger and accepted the usua
clergyman’s kiss by proxy. Before
taking this curious means of becom
ing man and wife the opinions of
lawyers in New York and Pennsyl
vania were obtained affirming the
legality of the ceremony.
Married by Wholesale.
On the day that Alexander the
Great was married no fewer that.
20,202 persons in one ceremony were
made husbands and wives. This
monster wedding occurred upon the
conquest by Alexaneder the Great of
Persia, which was then ruled over
by King Darius. Alexander mar
ried Statira, the daughter of the con
quered King, and decreed that 100
of bis chief officers should be united
to 100 ladies from the noblest Per
sian and Medean families. In addi
tion to this, he stipulated that 10,000
of his Greek soldiers should marry
10,000 Asiatic women. A vast pa
villion was erected, the pillars of
which were sixty feet high. One
hundred gorgeous chambers adjoined
this for the 100 noble bride-grooms,
while for the remaining 10,000 an
outer court was enclosed, outside of
which tables were spread fur the
multitude. Each pair had seats, and
ranged themselves in a semi-circle
round the royal throne. Os course,
the priests could not marry this vast
number of couples, so Alexander the
Great devised a very simple cer
emony. He gave his hand to Stati
ra and kissed her—an example that
all the bridegrooms followed. Thus
ended the ceremony, and that vast
number were married.
‘•What willl people think?” is a
lash that makes us cower too often
and too long.
A Shoemaker’s Account*.
There was a shoemaker I met not
long ago, says a writer in Chambers’
Journal, who had a most elaborate
method of keeping his ‘ ‘books. ’ ’ Against
the, wall of his workshop he had a large
board erected, which he painted black.
Into this board he used to drive hob
nails, tacks, brass and steel rivets and
other nails used in his trade to reyre
sent work done. For instance, the soi
ling of a pair of boots woud be repre
sented by a small piece of leather tack
ed on to the board by means of a brass
rivet, but if the boots were hobnailed,
then a hobnail was used instead of the
brass rivet. A steel rivet indicated a
patch on the sole, and a patch on the
upper was shown by tbe addition of a
piece of thin leather. New boots were
shown drawn in chalk, as were also the
hieroglyphics representing the custom
ers’ names.
Some peculiarity of manner, dress or
surroundings was chosen to indicate
whose account it was. The parson’s ac
count was placed under the rough draw
ing of a church; the curate, who wore
glasses, was represented by a sketch of
them; a couple of circles, one blank
and one with a dot in the center, stood
for the postman, who had lost one eye.
A beer barrel was the innkeeper’s sign;
the village pump did duty for the milk
man, while the schoolmaster was per
sonated by the drawing of a cane. The
old man was a great wag, but ho never
had his accounts challenged in spite of
their quaintness.

Dr. H. R. Lemen of Alton, Dis., says
“I often meet people who have such a
wholesome fear of appendicitis that they
do not eat grapes, tomatoes, figs or
fruits containing little seeds because of
a fear that these seeds will lodge in the
appendix and cause appendicitis.
“Whenever I hear a person say he
denies himself fruits because of this
fear I take occasion to assure him that
it is useless to take any such precau
tions. If you like fruit, eat it, for ap
pendicitis, seven in ten instances, is
due to other things than seeds. Little
particles of food of any kind can lodge
in the appendix and produce appendi
citis, even a bread crumb being capable
of it. In addition, a great many cases
are caused by something entirely out
side the appendix, something causing
the inflammation.
“To all I would say, ‘Go ahead and
eat anything you like, for all precau
tions you may take are not going to
save you from appendicitis if you are
going to have it.’ The inexplicable
things to which the majority of cases
are attributable cannot be guarded
against, and it is useless to fight the
minority. ”
Sam Hodgklne* Will.
“Sam Hodgkins, ” says the Lewiston
Journal, “was in his day and genera
tion a much respected citizen of Han
cock. and. like his son Dudley, better
known as Uncle Dudley, was well
known all over the eastern portion of
the county. An amusing story is told
by some of his old acquaintances to an
eastern Maine paper of how he once
made his will It happened to be done
at a time when the old man was in one
of his happiest and most generous
moods, and. realizing no doubt the un
certainty of human life, concluded that
he would bequeath to his seven sons—
Dudley. Zachariah. Moses, Bam, Shem,
Gee and Elliot—his worldly goods and
possessions.
“He was very anxious that the will
should be legal, and was careful lest
any of his children might be left un
mentioned in some way. So the old
man drew up the instrument, in part
like this; ‘Half to Dud, half to Zack
and all the rest to Moses. Shem is
blind, Sam is poor. Gee has moved to
the Falls (Sullivan Falls) and Elliot is
the baby ’ As the will was never pro
bated it answered the purpose just as
well as any. ’’
AN EXCITED LAWYER
A CASE THAT WORKED HIM UP TO
THE BURSTING POINT.
The Outrageous Conduct of Juror Mo.
6 and the Explanation Which
Changed the Counsel’s Anger to
Limp Bewilderment.
“In my 20 years’ experience as a
practicing lawyer,” said a well known
member of the bar at the Lawyers’ club
the other day, “I don’t believe I ever
went through a more exciting trial than
one I took part in out at Freehold, N.
J. When I say exciting, I mean excit
ing for me, for I was the only one who
appeared to be concerned about the con
duct of the man who occupied the sixth
seat in the jury box
“The case was a civil action, and I
represented the plaintiff. It was a small
matter, and we were suing for only
SSOO, but as my client happpened to bo
a personal friend, and he was more
anxious to establish a principle than to
collect any money, I was out to win.
“The judge was a sedate individual,
who slept most of the time, and the
jury looked as though it bad been draft
ed from the hayfields. I scored well for
my client with the first witness and
was looking out of the corner of my eye
to see what effect the point had had
with the jury, when I LvijJed the
man in No. 6 scowling furiously at me.
When I continued to make headway
with the next witness, he shook hie
head, scowled and looked as though he’d
like to eat me up. The rest of the jury
men kept watching him, and I began to
think I was up against a pretty stiff
proposition.
“Finally I threw a question at a wit
ness, which if honestly answered I
knew would establish our claim to dam
ages. No. 6 evidently thought so, too,
for he rose from his seat, shook his head
vigorously at the judge, and leaning
over the rail waited for the judge’s de
cision, for by this time the defendant’s
counsel had made an objection.
“The judge ruled against me, and
No. 6 fell back into his seat and laugh
ed as though it was the funniest thing
he had ever heard. I was mad clean
through by this time. Such outrageous
conduct I had never seen in court.
“ ’Your honor,’ I began protesting!?.
“ ‘Go on with the case, ’ roared his
honor.
“’But, sir,’ I began, ‘this is the
most extraordinary’—
“‘Goon ith the case, ’ interrupted
the judge once more, and seeing it was
vain to protest I went on.
“Well, this thing went on all
through the trial. Every point I made
brought a scowl to the face of Na 6.
Every point my opponent made brought
smiles to his face. When I summed up,
he kept shaking his head vigorously
and saying things ia an ugly tone, but
under his breath. Once he threw his
hands up in the air in protest, and I
got so mad that I could have hauled
him out of that box and thrashed him
with pleasure.
“When the defense summed up, the
fellow grinned with delight. He shook
hie head approvingly at all the lawyer
said, and once, when the lawyer indulg
ed in abuse of me, he cis >ped his hands
together as though he was dying to ap
plaud. During the judge’s charge he
scowled and smiled alternately, accord
ing to which side his honor favored.
“ ‘ We’re gone, ’ I whispered to my
client, ‘and I never engaged in a better
case than this. Rather than submit to
such a barefaced steal I’ll fight this
case through every court in the state,
and without a cent of fee toa *
“The judge had finished by this time,
and the jury had risen to go out. To
my utter astonishment, Na 6 jumped
over the rail of the jury box, and going
over to where the defendant and his
lawyer sat clapped the former on the
shoulder and said in a loud voice,
‘You’ll win sure.’ Here my indigna
tion got the better of ma Rushing over
to No. 6, I took him by the arm and
wheeled him around.
“ ‘See here, sir, the jury has retired,
and you might better be with them
than talking to the defendant and his
counsel. ’
“‘Why should I be with’em?’ he
replied.
“ ‘Why, good heavens, man, can the
jury deliberate while you’re in the
courtroom and they’re elsewhere?’
“ ‘Don’t know why not,’ he replied.
‘I ain’t no juror.’
“‘Then who the devil are you?’ 1
demanded.
“‘He’s my hired man,’put in the
defendant.
“ ‘Then what was he doing in the
jury box?’
“ ‘Why, consarn it, there warn’t an
other seat in the room, ’ said the hired
man. ‘Didn’t suppose I was goin ter
stand up, did yer?’
“I went back to my seat, completely
bewildered, and as I sat down the jury
came in, having been out five minutes.
They gave me the verdict, and I was
truly the most astonished man in the
state of New Jersey at that moment.
“I found out afterward that before I
began active work in the case juror No.
6 had been sick for a week and that the
other 11 jurprs had been acting without
him under instruction from the court.”

HBNfSTT HD TBUSTFULIIISS REWIRDED.
S. E. Brees, of Orange, Had an Experience Recently which
is Intensely Interesting—An
Example for Others.
From the Lake Review, Osakis, Minn.
The following account of a farmer’s re
markable experience was recently told a
reporter by Mr. S. E. Brees, one of the oldest
settler, and most prominent farmers of the
town of Orange, Douglas County, Minn.
Mr. Bree. is town clerk, having held this
position for several years, and is a gentleman
of unimpeachable integrity and honesty.
This experience of Mr. Brees is certainly
interesting. lie says:
“In August, 1891, as I was on my last
day*, drive with the harvest team, I sud
denly became faint and weak. Every move
or exertion was made with an effort. I rode
home and rested a number of days but did
not obtain much relief. The top of my head
had a peouliar feeling. I could not rest or
sleep. I* went on this way until I was nearly
eras?. I had the grip previous to this and
it left me with a severe cough and also a dull
pain about the region of the heart. I con
sulted a prominent physician and took his
medicines for about two months. Some relief
was obtained. The physician proaounced
my trouble a difficulty of the heart arising
from the after effect of the grip. My family
were alarmed about me, and for two years
they would lot let me go away alone fbr fear
I would never get home alive. I finally con
sulted another physician. He told me the
same a. the first, but thought he could help
me. I took his medicine six months, and
for a while obtained considerable benefit,
but the old .ymptoms returned and I was as
bad as ever.
MAKING GLASS EYES.
More of Them In Use Now Than Ever Be
fore.
“The demand for artificial eyes,”
said the proprietor of a glass eye
factory t-i New York to a writer re
cently, “was larger during the last
two years than I have ever known
it to be, and I have been engaged in
the manufacture of the article in
question for the past quarter of a
century. Last year we sold 35,000
artificial eyes, or an increase of
7,000 over the previous year. Prior
to that our sales would not exceed
20,000 annually. The recent demand
indicates that more people are wear
ing glass eyes than formerly, and
one of the chief reasons for this is
that the false articles are sold cheap
er and are made to resemble the
natural organs more perfectly now
than ever before. Hence the poor
who are compelled to wear glass
eyes have little difficulty in obtain
ing them, and rich people are less
sensitive about wearing the artifi
cial product when necessary. Ten
years ago an ordinary glass eye cost
from $6 to $7, while those made to
order with the pupil and the cornea
carefully colored, sold anywhere
from sl2 to SSO. Competition has
cut these prices down, until now an
ordinary eye sells for $5 and the
finer grades are worth from $lO to
S3O, according to finish.
“More gray eyes are manufactur
ed than any other color, then comes
the blue and next the brown eye.
The call for black eyes is quite rare.
They are only made to order and
are seldom if ever kept in stock.
Ophthalmia hospitals are the largest
consumers of false eyes. These in
stitutions buy in quantities, and
naturally obtain their supply at re
duced rates. They generally pur
chase the ready made eyes, which
are used on poor patients who are
not in a financial position to be fas
tidious either as to the quality or
finish of the article. We have hun
dreds of customers scattered all over
the country, for all of whom we
keep duplicates, ready to ship when
ordered. The best glass eyes do not
last for more than a year, owing to
the action of such moisture as the
tear, the acids of which affect the
enamel, roughen the edges of the
surface, and very often cause a pain
ful irritation of the eyelids.
“The process of manufacture is
interesting. In its initial stage the
eye is a long, slender stick of en
amel, made of perfectly transparent
and fusible flint glass. This is put
into a crucible and exposed to great
heat. Now the globemaker places
the enamel over a blowpipe supplied
with air, which is pumped by a
machine into a huge cylinder and
stored under water pressure. Then
under the careful manipulation of
the workman the enamel tube is
formed into an oblong globe, just
the size and shape of the human
eye. Next it passes into the coloring
room, where a correct tint is ap
plied to the summit of the globe,
and this is gently heated by a small
flame and continuously rotated.
When it has assumed the correct
form of the iris, more coloring
matter is added to represent the pu
pil, and it is then covered by a thick
layer of crystal to form the cornea.
This done, the eye is cooled and
sent to the cutting room, where it
is formed into a small hollow oyal,
with irregular edges. These odgei
are again heated and the eye allow
ed to cool slowly. This tempering
pMcess toughens the enamel and
rende* it less liable to break. The
finish work consists in polishing the
eye, and when this has been com
pleted it ia ready for the market.”—

The Thief Trackers.
A curious profession among the
Bedouin is that of the “thief track
ers.” Being without paddocks or
stables, and their animals always
more or lees at liberty, theft of
stock would appear to be an easy
and frequent matter. Each tribe,
however, has its little company of
“trackers,” and it would be either a
bold or an ignorant man indeed who
ventured to interfere with an Arab’s
live stock. I have heard of one in
stance in which a camel stolen from
a camp near Ismailia was, after
weeks of labor, successfully tracked
to the Sudan, where the beast was
recaptured and summary vengeance
wreaked upon the robbers. Select
ed for natural ability and trained
from boyhood to discriminate be
tween each animal’s footprint, this
faculty becomes so highly developed
that a particular horse’s' or camel’s
trail is unerringly picked up from
among the thousands of impressions
on the dusty highway.—R. Talbot

Filipino Junta's Statement.
Hong Kong, Feb. 11.—The F li
pino junta has issued the following
statement:
“A Manila steamer has arrived
here with the Americen version of
the fighting, which is utterly f Use.
The Americans commenced the hos
tilities by the treachery of General
Otis aimu.taneously by land and sea.
Aguinaldo possesses a signed guar
antee from the American commis
sioners that there would be no hos
tilities on their part.- Hence the
Filipinos troops were resting and
many of the Filipino officers w. re at
the theatre on Saturday night, and
were arrested shortly before the out
break. The bombardment of the
defenseless towns of Malate, I’aco,
Santa Ana and M dahon caused
frightful slaughter among the women
and children. It is estiin ited that
four thousand of them were killed.
The Filipino forces, whose Lss was
comparatively small, terreiously held
their position. The co. duct of the
Ameiicaue in the suburbs was out
rageous. They compelled the in
habitants to leave their houses and
then shot them down, regardless of
sex. There is a reign cf terror at
Manila. Civilians are shot in the
street without being challenged.
The Iloilo commissioners arrived at
Manila at the invitation of the Amer
icans, and when they were starting
to return the American soldiers weie
looting and pillaging.”
What Shall we Do.
A serious and dangerous disease pre
vails in this country, dangerous because
so deceptive. It comes on so slowly yet
surely that it is often firmly seated before
we are aware of it.
The name of this disease which may be
divided into three distinct stages is:
First, Kidney trouble, indicated by pain
in the back, rheumatism, lumbago, fre
quent desire to urinate, often with a
burning sensation, the flow of urine be
ing copious or scant with strong odor.
If allowed to advance, this reaches the
Second stage, or Bladder trouble, with
heavy pain in the abdomen low down
between the navel and the water passage,
increasing desire to urinate, with scald
ing sensation in passing, small quantities
being passed with difficulty, sometimes
necessary to draw it with instruments.
If uric acid or gravel has formed, it will
prove dangerous if neglected.
The Third stage is Bright’s Disease.
There is comfort in knowing that Dr.
Kilmer, the great kidney and bladder
specialist, has discovered a Remedy fam
ous for its marvelous cures of the most
distressing cases and known as Dr. Kil
mer’s Swamp-Root.
It is sold by all druggists.
As a proof of the wonderful virtues of
this great discovery, Swamp Root, a sam
ple bottle and book of valuable informa
tion will be sent absolutely free by mail
on application to Dr. Kilmer & Co.,
