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 Where is it ?” was the excited reply.

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 ord-Herald. 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 name histiophorus {sail bearer), giv en to a genus of fish, implies a sim ilar belief. In a contribution to the zoological Janrbuch The Newspaper. Most everyone knows of 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.

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 unfavorable weather.

Sir Hubert von * nerkomer, the celebrated English artist, described his experience in painting the por trait of Richard Wagner without a sitting.

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.

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.

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.

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.
