Rubinstein’s Free Seat.
A pianist who was pre-eminently
successful in his day was Rubin
stein, who traveled nearly the whole
world over delighting people with
his genius, lie was very much an
noyed by requests for complimen
tary tickets, but most of the time
lie maintained his composure, even
though justly irritated. It is told
of him that just before one of his
recitals in London he was accosted
by an old lady in the entrance hall
and thus addressed:
“Oh, Mr. Rubinstein, I am so glad
to see you! 1 have tried in vain to
purchase a ticket. Have you a seat
you could let me have ?”
“Madam,” said the great pianist,
“there is but one seat at my dis
posal, and that you are welcome to
if you think fit to take it.”
“Oh, yes, and a thousand thanks I

Who Ownad tha Fleh.
There is in Wales a creek fiva
miles long, connecting two small
lakes. About fifty persons own
property along this creek, and for
years and years the people have dis
puted aB to who owned the fish in
it. Not long ago two boys got into
a fight over the fish they were
catching, and the dispute was at
last carried into the courts. The
decision of the judge was odd
*mough. He decreed that any one
claiming to own any of the fish
•hould attach a brass tag to the tails
of the fish with the owner’s name in
plain letters, and that in the future
he must catch his own fish or none
at all This unique decision put an
end to the dispute.—Chicago Rec

f Sail Bearing Fiahea.
( Various marine animals possess
organs which, raised above the sur
face, act as sails, by means of which
they are propelled along the water.
Among these may be mentioned the
Portuguese man-of-war and the pa
per nautilus. Certain fishes, it ap
pears, use the same method of pro
gression, the dorsal fin acting as a
sail. Brousonnet called such fishes
Poissons voiliers. And the scientific

Arthur Brisbane, whose salary
is said to be about equal to that
of the President of the United
States. Here’s what he has to
say in regard to newspaper ad
vertising, at the same time pay
ing his respect to “fogies,” who
still exclaim “advertising doesn’t
pay.”
‘•That the millions spent
yearly in advertising Jis in the
end a saving to the {customer,
that only fogies continue to
think they pay more for adver
tised commodities that the mil
lions spent in this way is an in
aurance Against fraud were some
of the statements of Arthur Bris-
bene at a luncheon given March
24 by the Chicago Advertising
Association.
‘A man who advertises a
business properly' is a distributor
and helps to economize for the
consumer,’ he said. ‘If a man
manufactures a million articles
and advertises them he can sell
them cheaper than the man who
makes a thousand and does not
advertise.
“The old fashioned think
they pay more for advertised ar
tides They pay less and are
protected. The man who spends
$10,000,000 in advertising is
building a reputation the same
as if he bought bricks and built
a building. He can no more af
ford to be lalse to his word and
lose that reputation ithan he
could affoid to set fire to his
plant.
“ ‘The advertiser ought to
say. “I have spent so much
money to buy a reputation and
just that much is behind every
statement I make.” You havej
here in Chicago one ot the I
greatest advertisers in the world. I
The people do not adveitisej
their goods. They have spent |
fortunes advertising quality and

Both the s'iow fall and the
cold breaks all records for so
late a date here.
In fact, says Weather Observ
er Von Hermann the minimum
temperature here was the lowest
recorded in the United -States.
The snow, it is said, instead of
hurting the fruit, proved a proi
tection for it, because a tempera
ture lower than freezing cannot
ha«'e betn reached under cover
let of snow.
State Kutomologist Worsham
says :
“I am certain the fruit in south
and middle Georgia wasn’t hurt,
and I don’t think it suffered
seriously north of here. It is my
opinion that the entire Georgia
peach crop escaped without in
jury. “Many of the earlier peach
e? are half grown, and the rest
are deueloped to where they are
hardy enough to iwithstand'very

afforded protection. Vegetation

Painting Wagner’s Picture.
Sir Hubert von * nerkomer, the
celebrated English artist, described
his experience in painting the por
trait of Richard Wagner without a
sitting. Wagner in 1877 was intro
ducing his music to English udi-
ences, and he permitted the ymng
artist to be with him at his h ruse,
Bee him day by day and watch him.
iWhen Wagner was asked when he
Intended to sit he replied, “He sees
me all the time.” That went on
for a month. Then the artist start
ed one Friday on the portrait, work
ed at it all day at white heat, slept
badly all night and worked again
all day Saturday. By the evening
it was finished, and the next day he
took the portrait, glazed and
framed, to Wagner. Then came a
change over the great musician. He
was delighted.
The Silk From the Cocoon.
In attaining full growth the silk
worm stops feeding and throws out
silken thread. The silk is formed
in a fluid condition and issues from
the body of the worm in a glutinous
state, apparently in a single thread
From this silk tha worm constructs
its cocoon, aa interval of from
three to five days being required to
complete its imprisonment in the
envelope. In order that the silken
strands may not be subjected to the
danger of breakage by the moth
emerging from the cocoon the
cocoons are steamed till the in
closed insects are dead. After thif
the silk may be wound off.

Courtesy and Celerity.
Judge Talialerro was holding
court back before the war, in
the lit'le [courthouse ot Citron-
elle, Ala. It was a cloudy spring
afternoon, and a ver}' difficult
and puzzling case was on. The
lawyers wrangled, quoted from
great law books and broke into
grand flights of eloquence, while
Judge Taliaferro listened solemn
ly, or gazed out of the window
at the approaching storm. It
grew darker. The Judge snatch
ed a sheet ot paper, scribbled a
line or two upon it, and placing
it beneath a paper weight, took
up his hat.
“Colonel,” he said briskly to
the lawjer who had the floor,
“excuse me fo’ interrupting yuh
sir; I want you to go right on
with yo’ argument, fo’ its a
darned good one. But, Colonel,
I just nacherly got to set out my
potato slips. But you go right
on, Colonel; j|and, Majah, you
follow him up, an’ when you
two get through you’ll fiud my
decisionunder this here weight.”
And JJthe Judge disappeared
through the door before the
lawyers had time to exchange
one astonished glance !—Detroit

Will you allow me space in
your valuable paper to express
my opinion in regard to all day
siogiDgs. As I have been asked
if 1 believed if there was any
harm in an all day singing?
Ot course my dear readers, I
might say, yes I believe there is
harm in all day singings, or I
might say that I did not. It
would only be my opinion, either
way I would say. It doesn't
make it true tor any one to
spend his opinion on a thing
unless he has evidence to prove
it. As to opinions one man has
much right to his as the other,
then when refering to such
things as to whether it be. right
or wreng in having all day sing-
iugs we have no evidence; but
should let such things be Judged
according to good judgement
and sound reason.
1 am going to ask through
this letter that some ODe who is
so opposed to all day singings,
and are always ready to object
to them will give their reason
and where they got it that it is
not right to have all day sing
ings. It has always been my ex
perience aud understanding that
Christian people loved music and
would invite singeis to help
them. I want to say my dear
reader there never Wos a be-

• BAR BLOOD
The most important part of the human system is the blood. Every mus
cle, nerve, tissue, bone and sinew is dependent 611 this vital fluid for nour
ishment and strength necessary to maintain them in health and enable each
to perform the different duties nature requires. Even the heart, the very
“ engine ” of life, receives its vigor and motive power from the blood. Since
so much is dependent on this vital fluid it can very readily be seen how
necessary it is to have it pure and uncontaininated if we would enjoy the
blessing of good health. Bad blood is responsible for most of the ailments
of mankind; when from any cause it becomes infected with impurities^
humors or poisons, disease in some form is sure to follow. Muddy, sallow’
complexions, eruptions, pimples, etc., show that the blood is infected with
unhealthy humors which have changed it from a pure, fresh stream to a
sour, acrid fluid, which forces out its impurities through the pores and
glands of the skin. A very common evidence of bad blood is sores or ulcers,
which break out on the flesh, often
from a very insignificant bruise or
even seatcli or abrasion. If the blood
was pure and healthy the place would
heal at once, but being loaded with
impurities, which are discharged into
the wound, irritation and inflamma
tion are set up and the sore continues.
Bad blood is also responsible for
Anaemia. Boils, Malaria, etc.; the
weak, polluted circulation cannot fur
nish tiie nourishment and strength
required to sustain the body, and a
general run-down condition of health
results. S. S. S. is nature's blood
purifier and tonic; made entirely of
healing, cleansing roots and herbs.
It goes down into the circulation and removes every particle of impurity,
humor or poison that may be there, restores lost vitality’, and steadily tones
up the entire system. It adds to the blood the healthful properties it is in
need of, and in every way assists in the cure of disease. S. S. S. neutral
izes any excess of acid in the blood, making it fresh and pure, and perma
nently cures Eczema, Acne, Tetter, and all other skin diseases and eruptions
S. S. S. cures Rheumatism, Catarrh, Sores and Ulcers, Malaria, and all
other diseases or disordtrs arising from bad blood. Book on the blood and
•ay medical advice desired free to all who write.
THE SWIFT SPECIFIC CO., ATLANTA, GA.
Your S. S. S., In my opinion, is as good a
medicine as can be had; it simply cannot be
improved upon as a remedy to purify and enrich
the blood and to invigorate and tone, up the
system. This spring my blood was bad and I
was run down in health, and having seen your
medicine highly advertised I commenced its um.
Today my blood is in fine condition and zhy
general health is of the best. Am filling posi
tion as fireman for a large concern here, and
if I was not in good physical condition it would
be impossible for me to fill the place. Your
S. S. S. has been of great service to me and I do
not hesitate to give it the credit.it deserves.
