I wrote my last letter on Wed nesday, to catch the regular Fri day s steamer to Europe, so now I will get down to another one. The morning after my letter I went down to Padang to buy some pa jamas, etc. ana get my railroad pass. I left here at 7 a. m., and when I got there, at 2p. m., went straight to the American consular agent, Mr. Yet. It was pouring rain, nearly a cloud-burst, on the way there. The rain came in at the front of the carriage, at the back, sides and every othei imagin able and unimaginable place }’ou could think of. But I managed to keep fairly dry by using mv Chi nese umbrella and squatting in the middle of the floor. The consul was not in, but I was told that be would be back at 4:15 o’clock. So I went out again in that rain, bought what I thougnt necessary and returned to find Mr. Yet wait ing for me. Said he would not be able to get my pass for me just then on account of not being able to telephone because of thunder at the time. But he said he would get me a temporary pass for the next two days and my two months pass would be sent up to me here. He then invited me to dine with him that night saying that he would send his trap for me to the Orange Hotel at 8 p. m., which he did. I was the only one there be sides himself, (he is not married,) so we had quite a time of it. Sup ped at 9 and got up from (he table at 12:30. He sent me back and I got 41 p at 6 next morning to catch the 7:09 train to Padang-Panj’ang, the junction. Ther? I took the train to Fort de Kock, but when that place was in sight I decided to go on to Payakomba just to see the end of the railroad on that fork. Stayed there 20 minutes and got back to Fort de Kock at 4:27 p. m. The country up near Payakombo gets very precipitous and rocky, thereby being not so beautiful as the lower country, but, still it is a beauty of a different kind. All over this road you cross small creeks 100 or more teet below the track. At Fort de Kock I met Mr. Pet er.- and Prof. Littell, who were at Barnesville last year. Littell had forgotten me but Peters had not. They, especially Peters, expect to be in Labrador in August 1905 for that eclipse. May meet them there. On Saturday morning I went up to the market, bought a snake “kris” and other knives and returned, leaving there 12:30, getting here at 4:50 having spent a very pleas ant three days. Here is some news you all, es pecially papa, may like, . Prof. Skinner has decided to send one spectroscope and 96ft, by 6£in, telescopic camera up to Sewah Le onto, one hour beyond here. Dr. Mitchell from Columbia Universi ty will have charge of the spectro scope and I of the camera. Work here is going on first rate and everything ought to go all right if we have a clear 1 Sth.

A mother was racently reading to her young son the story of a lit tle fellow whose father was taken ill and died, after which he set himself diligently to work to as sist in supporting himself and his mother. When she had finished the story she said: '‘Now, Tommy, if pa were to die, wouldn’t 30U work to keep mamma?” “Why, no,” said the little chap, not relish ing the idea of work. “What for? Ain’t we got a good house to live in?” “Oh yes, mv dear,” said the mother, “but we can’t eat the house you know.” “Well, ain’t we got plenty of things in the pantry?” continued the young hopeful. “Cer tainly dear,” replied the mother, “but they would not last long, and what then?” “Well, na, said the young corrigible after thinking a moment, ain’t there enough to last •’till you get another husband. CASTOSIA. B*r* the jO The Kind You Haw Always Bough T 1 Poison Oak Poison Ivy BOTANICAL REPTILES THeir Sting Seta tHe Skin on Fire and Fills tHe Veins witH a Violent, Lingering Poison These plants seem to partake of the nature and character of the serpent; in winter time being comparatively harmless, but when warmed into life by spring and summer heat they become extremely venomous and spiteful, emitting a milky juice that burns and blisters like a fiery acid, producing <quick inflammation and painful swelling. Some persons are so susceptible to these vegetable poisons that coming in their vicinity will produce almost as much discomfort and pain as handling them; their thin and sensitive skins seem to absorb from the surrounding atmosphere the acrid juices emanating from these plants. There is seldom a picnic or family gathering in the woods but that some mem ber of the party comes in contact with Poison Ivy, Oak or some other hurtful plant or weed, and through the open pores the poison is carried to the overheated blood. Poison Ivy is found clingfrig to tree trunks, & BLOOD SATURATED WITH POISON OAK. Mr. John Friel, of Bear Station, Del., writes: “I was poisoned with poison oak which went through my blood, and my condition became so serious that the doctors all said I could not get well. I remained in a precarious condition, con- , fined to the house, for six months, when I saw S. S. S. advertised and began its use, soon realizing that it was doing me good. I continued the medicine and was cured entirely. I think it the best blood medicine made.” like edges and a downy appearance underneath. While the two plants are entirely unlike in appearance, the poisonous effects aie very similar. Aftqr the swelling subsides the shin remains for a long time in a rough and inflamed condition, dotted here and there with bad looking ulcers and little festering sores. It is truly remarkable with what regularity and certainty the disease returns, and always on schedule time, appearing the same month, day and hour, almost, that it did the year before. Don’t be deceived should all the signs of the poison vanish soon after the first attack —the acrid juices have been taken through the open skin pores into the blood, and the most persistent and faithful use of external remedies can never dislodge them, and next season, and for years to come, you may expect to endure the same bodily tortures; the blood in the meantime becoming so saturated system the effects of Poison Ivy, Poison Oak, Virginia Creeper, Thunder Weed, Sumac and vegetable poisons of every variety. S. S. S. will be found an invaluable and perfect antidote for poisons of this class. There is never any return of the aggravating symptoms after a • course of S. S. S., as it destroys every vestige of the poison. Don’t abandon hope because of repeated failures. State your case to our doctors, we feel sure they can help vou.

Rat Poison in Steak- Nevvnan, Ga., July 18. —Charles Warren, a negro boy fourteen years old, attempted to poison the family of R. C, Moore, of this city, yesterday. He was the body servant of M v , Moore, who has suffered for sever al years with rheumatism. He put rat poison in the steak which was ready for the table, but Mr. Moore detected the poison be fore any of the meat had been eat en. No reason is ascribed by the boy for nis attempt to poison the fami ly, yet he admits his guilt. Much indignation is expressed by the citizens of Nevvnan and this morning the boy was committed to jail by Judge Bohannon to await an investigation by the grand jury. The healthy old man wears his gray hairs like a silver crown. What if he be threescore and ten if there is still fire in his eye, firm ness in his step, command in his voice and wisdom in his counsel? He commands love and reverence. Yet how few wear the mantle of age with dignity. Dim eyed, quer ulous of speech, halting in step, childish in mind, they “lag super fluous on the stage,” dragging out the fag end of life in a simple exist ence. The secret of a healthy old age is a healthy middle age. The man who takes care of his stomach and wKo keeps.his body, properly nourished, will find that the body does not fail him in old age. The great value of Dr. Pierce's Medi cal Discovery lies in the preserva tion of the working power of the stomach and other organs of nutri tion. From this center is distrib uted the nourishment of the whole body, the salt for the blood, the lime for the bones, phosphates for the brain and nerves. A sound stomach means a sound man. A man who keeps his stomach sound by the use of “Golden Medical Discovery” will wear the orown of gray hairs as befits a monarch, with dignity and ease. Educate Tour Bowel* With Case*rets.
