Atlanta, Ua ORUTCH-BOUNP The man with the crutch never fails to arouse the deepest sympathy and I awaken the tenderest emotions of his more fortunate fellow being. The haggard 1 countenance, swollen joints and twisted and deformed limbs tell a pathetic story of \W| suffering such as Rheumatism alone can inflict. Only those who are painfully JJu I and slowly hobbling through life can fully realize what it means to be crutch-bound, //u They feel most keenly their helpless and dependent condition when it dawns upon J] A them that they are no longer workers but unwilling drones iu the busy world. @ f Rheumatism should not be neglected because the pains at first are wander \ iugand slight. These are only the rumblings of an approaching storm of pains \ and aches that may transfer you from a life of activity to the ranks of the crutch g bound cripples. Rheumatism is due to acrid gritty particles being deposited in the joints, muscles and nerves by an impure and too-acid blood, and the strongest constitutions or mus cles of iron and nerves of steel can long withstand these corroding poisons. They penetrate to every fibre of the body, and no liniment, lotion or other external application can reach and dislodge them. Finally the natural oils are consumed when there is a creaking, grinding noise with every movement of the limbs, the joints become locked and immovable, the mus cles wither or contract, the nervous system gives way and the patient becomes a physical wreck and crutch bound cripple. Rubbing with liniments may produce counter-irritation and afford temporary ease, but they cannot reach and destroy these corrosive particles, which are daily forming in the blood. The correct treatment the true cure for Rheu matism — is a remedy that will dissolve and wash out this inflammatory matter and expel it from the system, and no medicine does this so promptly and thoroughly as S. S. S. It neutralizes and eliminates from the blood current all poisonous, noxious substances and makes the blood pure and strong again and, as it circulates through the body, all effete matter is gathered up and sent out through the proper channels. This rich new blood cools the feverish, throbbing muscles and joints and refreshes the tired nerves, and welcome relief comes to the wretched sufferer. S. S. S. contains no Potash, Opium, Anodyne or mineral of any description, but is a Guaranteed Purely Vegetable Compound. The strong minerals that are usually prescribed in Rheumatic cases act very injuriously upon the lining of the stomach, causing inflammation and a most dis- S. S.

THE SWIFT SPECIFIC CO., Atlanta* Ga. LITTLE BEN AGAIN. His Comical Version of the Cow in Your Neighbor’s Field, in Rebuke of the “No* fence” Law. Editor News-Gazette :—\V<>ll, we have not troubled you much with our “seribs.” The extreme cold weather in December last and the wet weather since has been so severe on ns, that we have had to “hunt for cover.” But we are looking for spring time to open on us now and our thoughts turn to farming. We farmers have a varied ex perience : sometimes wet; some times dry; sometimes cold; some times hot and sometimes amusing, though it may be iritating. For instance, a farmer has been out all the morning on a hot summer day, hoeing his cotton patch. Be fore noon, he is tired and hot, and concludes to go to the house and rest awhile and to cool off, ready for dinner. As he walks along across his field, in that sun, lie hears a voice; hello! He stops, looks around, and away over on the next hill he sees Farmer B. standing under the shade of a tree with his hat in one hand and the other hand leaning against the tree. It is hot weather, and he is in his shirt sleeves. Farmer B. Hello's to Farmer A. “Your old cow has broke out, and she’s down there in my corn!” Farmer A. looks down on the ground and be gins to ruminate about the advan tages and disadvantages of tin' no-fence law, and finally, he con cluded that something must be done, and that quick, and al though he is tired and hot, he starts off down that way where that cow is. He takes particular pains to walk away ’round that cow, so as to get her between him and the lot. He comes up to- ward her from the far side, and says: “Haie there.” The cow throws up her head, with her mouth full of his neighbor’s corn, looks wild and begins move off in a fast walk, all the time keep ing her eye on Farmer A. Farmer A starts across to head that cow, lie gets his foot tangled in the pea vines and down he comes, spraw ling, and before he can get up, that cow lias swept by him in a lope, right contrary to the way he wants her to go, and soon stops and goes to lapping in another mouth full of his neighbor’s corn. Well, by this time Farmer A. is hot all over, but he gets up and THE BARNESVILLE NEaVS-GAZETTE, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 13, 1902. hurries on over there where that cow is, and just as he gets there, that cow breaks off again in the wrong direction, and stops away over in another neighbor’s cotton patch. Well, by this time Farmer A. I has about worried himself down, and he begins to soliloquize, thus ly: * “Talk about dignity, pomposity and cool-headedness, while trying to head a cow. 1 never did like this no-fence law, no way, there isn’t a fence anywhere now to stop that cow, and I can’t head her without help; she won’t hurt that cotton much. She’ll just top it a little, and it ought to be topped anyway.” So he leaves that cow there, topping his neighbor’s cotton, and goes off to get help. He soon comes back with help and a rope, and they surround that cow, and after considerable heading and hemming, they get a rope on her horns and lead her off home. Then Farmer A. says: “Why didn’t I think to bring that rope at first;” when the truth was, lie hadn’t been in fifty feet of that cow and couldn’t have roped her by himself if he had carried it. ’ All this is a part of learning how to farm. When 1 go after a cow now, 1 always take help and a rope. It is the best way. Little Ben. The East Heard of It. “My little boy took the croup one j night and soon he grew so bad you ' could hear him breathe all over the house, “says F. D. Reynolds, Mansfield (). “We feared he would die, but a few doses of < hie Minute Cough Cure quick ly relieved him and he went to sleep. That’s the last we heard of the croup. Now isn’t a cough cure like that valua ble?” One Minute Cough Cure is ab solutely safe and acts immediately. For coughs, colds, croup, grip, bron chitis and all other throat and lung troubles it is a certain cine. Very pleasant to take. The little ones like it. J.VO. H. BLACKBURN. L. Holmes, Barnesville, Ga. Milner, Ga. Many Peas are Purchased. A novel sight was witnessed in Barnesville last Friday when fif teen two-horse wagons, heavily loaded with peas, drove up to the side door of J. W. Stafford A Sons, here to be unloaded. There were more than three hundred bushels and they brought $1 per bushel spot cash. The peas are to be shipped to St. Louis and New Orleans. This speaks well for a community where usually cotton is the only product that com mands spot cash. It means pros perity among the farmers. Helpless From Rheumatism. I was terribly afflicted with Rheumatism for eighteen months, and during my sick ness tried the skill of many good physicians, all of whom pronounced my case hopeless. I was for a year in such a helpless condi tion that I was unable to dress or feed my self. X had filled at different times, fifty two prescriptions suggested by friends, none of them giving me any relief; I final ly decided to try S. S. S. and took the first dose while hobbling about on crutches. After taking two bottles I found so much relief I was able to relinquish the use of one crutch, and a faithful continuance of the medicine relieved me of the other crutch and shortly afterward enabled me to go to my work, atwhieli I have been ever since. I have had no return of any symp toms of Rheumatism, although this was seven years ago. Yours very truly, J. O’MALLEY, 2135 N. Senate Ave., Indianapolis, Ind. CHEAP STATUETTES, HOW THEY ARE MADE, HARDENED FINISHED AND COLORED. Itn liun* From Tuscany Excel thr World In Their Production—'Th Demand For These Casts That Comes From Our Schools. While it Is not difficult to secure good American workmen for carrying out schemes of Interior decorations, it is impossible yet to get native born men capable of modeling statuettes and busts such as are sold on the street corners and in many of the art shops. All the workmen employed in factories that produce these are Italians, chiefly from Tuscany. This is equally true o( those who follow this trade in Ger many and France. The Tuscans ap pear to have a natural ability for that sort of work that has given them tin monopoly of it. The great majority of these busts and statuettes are copied directly from the originals wherever they happen to be. and then the molds are made from that copy and sent to all parts of the world, the statues being east in the place where they are to he sold. In the lar ger shops In New York city, however, a certain amount of original work is done in order to keep pace with t_e popular demand for representations of the hero of the hour. A great many of our most distinguished poets, authors and statesmen whose busts are exposed for sale on the street corners never sat for those portraits. Some workman modeled the head after a photograph and occasionally has produced such good work that it Is almost a pity the sculptor’s name should remain un known. The chief purchasers of these easts from the larger makers are the high schools all over the country. They de mand, of course, not only classical sub jects and copies of nncient bas-reliefs and architectural details, but also busts of famous men and women from every period of the world’s history. Such a wide range of subjects is covered by this demand that seven and eight thou sand titles are included in some of the catalogues issued. The factories where these figures are turned out exhibit in their showrooms an assortment and confusion of time, place and nature be wildering to look at. The process of Casting these statu ettes is a comparatively simple one when the mold is once completed. The material used, plaster of parts, is cheap, and a very excellent quality is produced in tills country. When the statuette comes out, it Is pure white and covered with ridges made by the different sections of the mold. These ridges are carefully removed, and then the east is placed iu an oven heated at about 180 degrees. After it has been baked for a certin length of time It is plunged into a solution of stearic acid and kept there until thoroughly satu rated. Then, when It has dried, the yellow color Is gained by applying to the surface a solution of beeswax, tur pentine and coloring matter. This color will not wash off. and, of course, any shade can be produced at will. “The demand for nude statues In the art schools is growing less every year,” said one of the largest makers of these ! casts. “That is because people are realizing more and more that artists I must draw from the human figure it i self if they wish to understand the j human form. We get more orders now for draped figures in the art schools 1 and for busts in the high schools. Uii ! til very recently the busts of most of the celebrated Americans which wc sell had been made in Italy from pho tographs sent over from this country, and many mistakes occurred In mat ters of detail, like the cut of the coats and collars. We are trying to do these now In a more modern and characteris tic way and occasionally have been furnished with photographs by their families.” The statuettes which are carried about the streets wrapped In harmoni ous yellow tissue paper or are display ed on the sidewalks or on the steps of unoccupied houses are inuue by quite a different set of manufacturers. The larger dealers do not sell to these street peddlers at all. The peddlers have their own little workrooms, which furnish them with their stock at u much lower rate than the regular dealers charge. No originals are made In these ateliers, and most of the molds are gained by taking them from a cast bought from some other firm. The stearic acid bath is left out of the process, and conse quently the color of these cheaper works washes off. The peddlers of these statuettes stand In about the same relation to sculptors and sculpture that the band organ play ers do to music and musicians. They reflect fairly accurately the popular taste, and. according to their testi mony, it Is the Tanagra figurines that In the long run sell the best of al! their stock. From time to time there is a market for the bust of some particular man, and those sales are always tem porary. Grotesque figures are always in demand and copies of the various models of Venus with which the public are familiar. Rows of Cupids and of monks’ heads, winged Victories and busts of Wagner come and go as pop ular favorites, but the Tanagra figur ines Lave a steady sale that insures their presence in the stock of nearly every street peddler.—New York I’ost.

Any one who will take tlu trouble to compare the lunch and dinner, menu cards of some of the leading restau rants of New York will make a rather surprising discovery, lie will ascertain that the prices on many dishes are cut on the dinner card from 10 cents to 20 cents. A gentleman whose curiosity was aroused by this singular practice to the extent that he went to the head waiter for a nior t satisfactory reason than the table waiter could advance was given this explanation: “You see,” said the waiter, "the gen erality of men don’t care for u heavy lunch. One dish and a glass of milk or a cup of coffee, with bread and butter, are sufficient for them; consequently to prevent them from getting off too cheap we have to put up tlie price of single dishes. At dinner time It is dif ferent. A mail wants a number of dish es for dinner, and so we can afford to make our meats and fish cheaper.” “But do you think that is exactly”— “Honest? Why not? It is always honest to take wlint people are willing to pay you for what you have to sell, is it not?” —New York Times. Why Hindoo* Don’t do Mad. Why are there so few lunatic asy lums and so small a proportion of In sane persons In India? That Is a ques tion which many a traveler lias wou derlngly asked. The Hindoos regulate their lives en tirely in accordance with their religion— that is, their working, eating, sleeping, as well as what we usually regard as our "life” in the religious sense of tlie word. Everything is arranged for them, and they follow the rules now just as they did 2,000 years ago. This constant observance of the same rules for twen ty centuries has molded the brains of the race Into one shape, as it were, and although tlieir rites are queer enough, yet there is but an occasional example of that striking deviation from die common which is called insanity in countries Inhabited by the white race. Thc-y are fatalists too. With them it is a ease of “what is to lie will be” carried to the Extreme. This lias in time given them the power to take all things calmly and so freed them from the anxiety that drives so many white men into the lunatic asylums. Met Ilia Mittelt. That well known historical person age, Augustus the Strong, elector of Saxony, has furnished the subject for many a tale of his wonderful muscular power. We need refer only to one characteristic story in which, however, he met his On the occasion In question he ei-iered a blacksmith’s shop. To show his suit how strong lie was, picking up several horseshoes, he broke oue after tbe other, asking the blacksmith whether iie had no better. When It came to paying the bill, the Elector Augustus threw a six dollar piece on the anvil. It was a very thick coin. The blacksmith took it np, broke it in half, saying, “Pardon ine, but I have given you a good horseshoe, and I expect a good coin in return.” Another six dollar piece was given him, but he broke that and five or six others, when the humiliated elector put an end to the performance by handing the blacksmith a loulsd’or, pacifying him by saying, “The dollars were prob ably made of bad metal, but this gold piece, I hope, is good.” fiparehlnic For a goal.

Ekif of Crab* and Lobatera. Crabs and lobsters are hatched from eggs, resembling upon birth nothing so much as the anlrnalculae shown by the microscope In a drop of ditch water. They are as unlike tbe shellfish they are to become In mature life as a grub is unlike a butterfly. In the case of the crab tbe egg clusters are attached beneath the animal after extrusion, while with the lobster they become fastened to the tail, which, by Its fan ning motion, increases the stream of oxygenated air through arid among tbe ova.
