Salt Rheum
Th<* agonies oI Utoso who suffer from severe
salt rheum are Indescribable. The cleansing,
healing, purifying Influences of Hood’s Sarsa¬
parilla arc unequalled by any other medicine.
“ I take pleasure In recommending, llood’s
Sarsaparilla, for It has done wonders for me.
I had salt rheum very severely, affecting ms
over nearly my eniire body. Only those who
have suffered from this disease in Us worst
form can imagine the extout of my affliction,
I tried many medicines, but tailed to receive
hem-fit until I took Hood's Sarsaparilla.
Then the disease began to subside, the
Agonizing Itch and Rain
disappeared, and now I am entirely free from
the disease. Mj Wrod seen* to be thoc
ougldy purified and n , y general health is
greatly jcuellted.” Lyxax Au.es, Sexton
. K. Church, North Chicago, 10.
“ My son had salt rheum on his hands and
the calves of kis legs, ad had that they would
crack oneaand bleed. He tot* Hood’sSar
ssparilfik s£S tt entirely cured.- J.RSnx
tox, Mt. Vernon, Ohio.
From 108 to 108
"I was seriously troubled with salt rhenm
for three years, and receiving no benefit from
medical treatment I decided to try Hood's
Sarsaparilla. I am now entirely cured of salt
rheum; my weight has Increased from 108 lbs.
to 135,” Mbs. Alice Smith, Stamford, Conn.
- If you suffer from salt rlieum, or any blood
* disease, try Hood’s Sarsaparilla. It has cured
many others, and will cure you.

THE NANCY LEE.
W c Bengal, were well bcund into for the Madras, Gulf of
when one morning, ?ust as night
was fading into dawn, I thought I
heard a voiee hailing us from the
surface of the sea There are at a
biids who cry out almost like hu¬
man beings, and although I was
startled by tho hafl I dismissed it
altor a few seconds as tbe cry of a
bird. Scarody had I done so wlvon
it camo again, aud this time I know
it was tho voice of a woman.
There was no need to hail the mate
on watch, for ho heard the cry as
well. Wo were jogging along un¬
der oasy sail, ayd he seised* the
glass und ran up the- forerigg'.ng.
There was a sort of steam rising
from the water but the mate had
a.>t climbed thirty feet when dcwn
4
.he camo again, and io one breach
ordered tho ship inlo tbe wind, tho
captaia aroused and the beat low»
erod.
We of the watch had iro doubt
that the ship had been hailed by
castaways, but the boat was down
before any of us made out a lone
woman ia a sort of canoe craft
about two cables’ length away on
our port bow. She had neither
paddle nor oar, and hor craft was
driving with the wind and sea,
while she sat cowering in the stern.
Our boat was soon alongside of her
craft, and tho woman canoe were
3oon aboard of tbe Admiral Nelson.
The watch below had been turned
up, and everybody was on deck to
see what was going on* The wom¬
an waa white, and, as we soon as¬
certained, America. I say white,
but bronze would be the better
term, for it was evident that she
had long been exposed to tropical
weather. She was os medium size,
regular features and about 40 years
of age, and had at one time been
good looking.
“Who and where is the captain
of this shi|i?” She suddenly snap¬
ped, as she reached the deck.
“Here, ma’am,” gallantly replied
our old man, as he stepped briskly
forward.
“I want-£o talk to you in yoiir
cabin,” sho continued, her fingers
working nervously and her eyes
afire,
They bad not bben.gone tw quarter
of an hour when both reappeared
on deck. 1 was at the wheel and
therefore heard all that was said.
It appeared that the womad, whose
name was Mrs. Thomas, owned and
sailed a trading schooner which
bad beed left her at her husband's
dcatb. It was a strange vocation
for a woman, but it seemed she lik¬
ed it and also had & good business
head on her. 8he. had-, a crew
six, her mate being an Englishman
and tbe others Lascars, and she
had been sailing between nearly
all the towns on the Gulf. Three
days before wo picked • her up her
scbconer had left Sumatra bound
for the Indian coast. Tbe crew
seemed to be perfectly . quiet and
content, but at 10 a’ciock of tbe
P revi0D8 ni s ht - boa,1<!d b y lbe “»*•
had suddenly laid violent hands on
her, and sent her adrift without
water, food or paddle. Tho inten¬
tion was to runaway with>.» bra,
lied ou but for her rescuo
She was the spunkiest,litilo worn*
an I ever saw. Sho was so mad
she couldn't stand still for three
seconds at a time. What sho wan¬
ted was for our ship to go in pur¬
suit. Her schooner was armed
with two brass six pounders, while
wo had four twelves, and sho ex¬
pressed hor entiro willingness to
see her craft sent to the bottam bo
fore the mutinous crow should ben
efit by their acts. Capt. Wheelor
was pretty well along in years,
very careful on the question of in
surance, and his mind was not
made up until after breakfast.
Then he docided to luff up toward
tha Andaman Islands in search of
the schooner, and he almost prom¬
ised to give hor a taste of our met¬
al if sho would not surrender,
Tho little woman managed to
eat a fow mouthfuls of breakfast,
and then "roturnod to tho dock to
almost consumo control. She or»
dered a man aloft, bossed the job
of casting iooso the guns and get
ting up powder and shot, and every
ten minutes iho was bailing tbc
lookout to know if anythiug was in
sight. Luck was in bar favor.
Whila we had been jcfjging along
all night the schooner,: being fur
tner to tho oast, bad been almost
becalmed. We raised hor almost
dead ahead about noon, and as
luok would have it again we had
plonty of wind, while she had none
until tho vessels wore not ovo
two miles apart. The schooner
could have no suspicion that the
vvoman was : b »ard of us, aud we
flow a signal that ho wanted to
speak her. Sho at once lay to, and
as wo ran down to hor I saw Mrs.
Thomas grit her teeth, clinch hor
hands aud show other evidences of
hor foelings. Sho bad borrowed
tho male’s six shooter, donnod n
hat and coat to disguise herself,
and as we lay to abaut a cablo’s
length away uo eye could have
made out her sox. ‘‘Schooner
ahoy I" called our captain.
“Ay, ay, sir! This is tho Nancy
Loa* bound from Sumatra to the
mainland.”
“Are you the captain?”
“No, sir. He’s very sick in his
berth.”
“Run out those guns!” whisper
ed tho old man to us, and down
wout the port shutters, and out
wont tho big barkers, and such of
the crew as wore not at tho guns
rested their muBkets along the rail.
I’vo got your explain here, and
she’ll be put on roard of you!”
shoutei the ovptain. “If you at¬
tempted any resistance I’ll sink
you!”
The Nancy’s mate ordered his
crew to one of the guns, hut the re¬
fused to obey, evey man of them sulk
fng forward and disappearing down
the hatch. The fellow left tbe dec k
long enough to arm himself with a
cutlass, and as we lowored iv-boat he
called out that he would sppt the
ihe head of the first man who attemp¬
ted to aboad the schooued. Our first
mate, the boatswain and two of us
foremas hands went in the boat with
Mrs. Thomas, and hooked on to the
schooner’s chains the boatswain pol¬
led a revolver and climbed in over the
bows. 'The mutineer retreated aft,
and theng we boarded. The woman
had not spoken a word since leaving
the ship- She was pale as death,
and her eyes glared like a tiger’s. As
she dropped from the rail to the deck
she oocked the weapon in hei hand,
walded aft and right up to the mate^
and as he flourished his cutlas and
commanded her to keep off 6he shot
him dead in his tracks.
“It’s the law of ihe sea,” she quite
ly remarked,* as ihe. turned to us.
“Now to rout out those LascBrs!”
But yoa won’t kill them!” said our
mate.
”No,not qute!” was the grim an¬
swer,, as she handed him the Jsmoking
revo ^ ver -
Casting a look at the dead mntin
eer, to be sure that he was dead, she
went forward, took a belaying pin out
of the port rail and, going to tho
hatoh,called down:
• ,0n deck here, evey cowardly man
of you, and be quick about it, too!”
They came up one after the other,
and rs each man touched the deck
she gave him a crak ove r J.he
whib made him

searched, and, as she had anticipated,
all the money aboard tlm schooner
waa found. She then ordered the
body flung over bond, and an .as it
touched the water one of the largest
biggest whits sharks 1 ever seised it
and bit it in half. While tho I as
cars were cleaning the deck the Httte
woman ran down into tho cabin and
brougbc up adozon bottle nl wine, six
boxes of cigars and a lot of dried
fruits for us to take back to ship,
Then sho gave each of us a shako of
rihe hand, and as we entered tho yawl
she sprang upon tho port rail, held
fast to the main shrouds with one
hand g d shouted:
0 Good-dy and Ghd blesa you,
Capt. Wheeler! I've got my craft
back, thanks to you, and I’ll keep
my eyes open aftet this!”
Then sne jumped down and went
wheel and gave ornders to get the
schooner on her course, ami in a eoup
lo of haurs the craft was-lost sight of
behind one of the islands as it made
for the inside of the route. Two
years latfe.t 1 saw tho woman at Sing¬
apore; and she still owned the sehoon
: er and was saed to have a comforta¬
ble fortune in bank. A year lat ter I
heard that she had puchased a brig,
and putting in a cargo on her own
account had sailed for home.—Lon¬

An Important Oilice.
One of the most important of the
state offices is that of school commis¬
sioner. In all parts of the state
there is a growing sentiment in favor
of improving the public schools.
The public schools in most of the
towns are very good, and in the larg¬
er towns they arc excellent. In the
country districts, however, they are
r ar from being what they ought to be.
The farmers arc beginning to see the
necessity for greater educational ad¬
vantages for their children. They
a?e, therefore, demanding bette
school houses, better teachers, and
that the schools shall be kept open
itonger each year.
u 1 he state school commissioner can
do a great deal toward raising the
grade of tho* publio schools.- He
should bo*a mail fam-iliar with educa¬
tional maiters arid a firm believer in
the public school system. He should
be a man of high character and much
more than ordinary ability; and es¬
pecially should he be profoundly im¬
pressed with the impcrtancc of his
duties and enthusiastic in the dis¬
charge of them.
It is doubtful if there could be
found in the state a man so well qual¬
ified in every respect for state school
commissioner as Mr- S. D. Bradwell
of Liberty county. He has had 2o
years experience as an educator, and
is, besides, a mail of broad views and
liberal culture. He knows just-what
the public school system of the stato
.needs to make ifcemore efficient. He
is in thorough sympathy with the
farmers, and he knows all of the
state’s prominent men. If he ap¬
peared before the legislature, there¬
fore, requesting assistance for the
public schools, he would receive a
qery respectful hearing, and the chan¬
ces are his request would be granted.
There would be such confidence in
his a bility and judgment that there/'
would he little hesitation in follow¬
ing his lead in mattecs relating to the
public schools.
There is another thing in this con¬
nection that ought to be taken into
consideration. It is that South
Georgia gets very little recognition
in the distribution of the patronage
of the state.
Mr. Bradwell is one of Georgia’s
prominent citizens. Ho lives in a
county in which some of Georgia’s
most distinguished sons were born
and reared. He would reflect credit
upon the state as commissioner of ed¬
ucation, and would render the people
service-irv that- ' capacity for which
they would be grofoundly grateful.
Mr. Northern will have the appoint¬
ment of a state school commissioner,
and if he is mindful of the best inter¬
ests of the people lie will not over¬
look Mr. Bradwell wdiec he considers
the applicacions for that appoint¬
ment?-—Savannah News.
