to be rid of, because bad blood is
the breeding place of disfiguring
and dangerous diseases. Is your
blood bad? It is if you are
plagued by pimples or bothered by
boils, if your skin is blotched by
eruptions" or your body eaten by
gc res and ulcers. You can have
good blood, which is pure blood, if
you want it. You can be rid of
pimples, boils, blotches, sores and

An Irishman who was out of
work went on board a vessel that
was in harbor and asked the captain
if he could find him work on the
ship.
“Well,” said the captain, at the
same time handing the Irishman
a piece of rope, “if you can find
three ends to that rope, you shall
have some work.”
The Irishman got hold of one
end of the rope, and, showing it
to the captain, said :
“That’s one end, your honor.”
Then he took hold of another end,
and, showing it to the captain as
before said : “And that’s two ends,
your honor.” Then, taking hold
of both ends of the rope, he threw
it overboard, saying:
there’s another end
honor.”
He was engaged.

The opening gun of w T ar between
Spain and the United States will

ive nation military specialists, ea

what may prove to be the first
great conflict fought under mod

investigators wull come as official

our government during the strife.
A number will study the move

Some governments will send rep

Oh, the Pain of
Rheumatism!
Rheumatism often causes the most in
tense suffering. Many have for years
vainly sought relief from this disabling
disease, and are to-day worse off than
ever. Rheumatism is a blood disease,
and Swift’s Specific is the only cure, be
cause it is the only remedy which can
reach such deep-seated diseases.
A few years ago I was taken with, inflamma
tory Rheumatism, which became so intense
that I was for weeks unable to walk. I tried
several prominent physi
cians and took their treat
ment faithfully, but was
unable to get the slight
est relief. In fact, my eon.
dition seemed to grow
worse, the disease spread
over my entire body, and
from November to March
I suffered agony. I tried
many patent medicines,
hut none relieved me.
Upon the advice of a
. „ _ friend I decided to try
S. 8. 8. Before allowing me to take it, how
ever, my guardian, who was a chemist, ana
lyzed the remedy, and pronounced it free of
potash or mercury. I felt so much better after
taking two bottles, that I continued the rem
edy, and in two months I was cured completely.
The cure was permanent, for I have never since
had a touch of Rheumatism though many
times exposed to damp and cold weather.

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure fin all its stages, and
that is Catarrh. Hall’s Catarrh Cure
is the only positive cure known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh being a
constitutional disease, requires a con
stitutional treatment. Hall’s Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting direct
ly upon the blood and mucous surfaces
of the system, thereby destroying the
foundation of the disease, and giving
the patient strength by building up
the constitution and assisting nature
in doing its work. The proprietors
have so much faith in its curative pow
ers, that they offer One Hundred Dol
lars for any case that it fails to cure.

A Place For flress Waists.
In these days, when space is a matter
of deep importance -in one’s home and
bedrooms and closets in apartment
houses are so curtailed, the young
housekeeper has to devise all kinds of
makeshifts to replace the wardrobe and
drawer space to which she has been ac
customed. Couches are to be had made
so that the top turns back easily and
discloses an airtight storage space
Where nice dress skirts may be spread
out at length and still be as accessible
as if hung in a wardrobe. And now
some one has solved the problem of
where to pat the betrimmed dress
waists so that they shall not be crushed
and still may be quickly got out, thus
giving further relief to overcrowded
closets.
Brass bedsteads are now made with
two dust proof drawers underneath.
The length of the drawers is the same
as the width of the bed. One draw 7 er
opens at the upper end of the bed, and
on the opposite side the drawer is at the
lower end. The plaited valance to
match the draperies of the bed is fas
tened separately to the front of the
drawers, and when they are closed they
are not noticeable, as the folds hang to
gether and the lace trimmed bed cover
falls over the top of the valance. The
drawers are so made as to clear away
any doubts of those who may object to
the idea on the score that they may be
come close and stuffy. There is a space
between the closed top cf the drawer and
the bed, thus allowing ample circula
tion of air all around.—New York Sun-
Opals and Peacock Feather*.
These are certainly the days of short
shrift with superstitions. Opals have
become one of the most fashionable cf
stones, the widely spread and long ex
isting idea that it "was ominous to own
them even, much less wear them, hav
ing quite passed away. An advantage
possessed by these gems over all others
is that they cannot be imitated. A paste
er any other sort of falsified opal doqs
not exist. With the passing of the opal
bogie has gone, too, the ban under
which peacock feathers have long lain.
Decorators delight in the rich colorings
of these plumes and have done much by
their persistent use of them in carrying
out effects, to do away with the non
sensical belief that they are unlucky W

It may not be known that the
wife of Maximo Gomez, command
er-in-chief of the insurgent forces
in Cuba, is an American woman,
but such appears to be the fact.
Representative Gibson claims to
represent the district in Tennessee
where she was *born. Her for
mer name was Miss Pink Martin,
a daughter of Henry Martin, who
lived on Nail’s creek in a county
in East Tennessee. The family
w r as one of the best in the county
and her father was very wealthy,
so that Miss Martin was given ex
ceptional opportunities during
her childhood and early woman
hood, She first married a Geor
gian, but he died shortly after the
civil war and as Mrs. Cline, his
w r idow, she went to Havana,
where her brothers were engaged
in business. While at the Cuban
capitol she met Maximo Gomez,
then a very important personage
in the Island of Cuba, and m a
short time they w T ere married.”

A Coin In the Bottle.
There have been patented all kinds of
schemes devised for the purpose of se
curing a bottle that cannot he refilled
after having once been emptied of its
eontents. A great deal of fraud is said
to be perpetrated by filling the bottles
of some standard liquor w 7 ith an inferior
grade and palming it off as the original
bottling. An ingenious Philadelphian
proposes to accomplish this by blowing
a coin in the body of the glass bottle,
and he thinks that this will be tempt
ing enough to induce some one to break
the bottle as soon as it has been emptied.

Orange Woman'* CluB.
The Woman’s club of Orange, N. J.,
held a most, interesting session on March
24, when its annual election occurred.
This marked the quarter century of the
club’s existence. It is one cf the oldest
clubs for w 7 omen in the country. There
were but four others in existence at the
time of its founding. It organized with
15 members; now it has a membership
of 800 and a long waiting list. The club
has become a department club, and the
recording secretary, Mrs. Stanley, read
a brief review of the year’s work, which
was followed by reports from the chair
men of each department. Each depart
ment in turn furnishes the club pro
gramme for general meetings. The de
partment of education furnished a pro
gramme upon coeducation, also one up
on the education of the Indians.
The election of officers for the coming
year gave the presidency to Mrs. Gush-
man, who has filled the place in a most
able manner during the last year. The
other officers were re-elected with the
exception of Mrs. Stanley, who was not 1
eligible for recording secretary, having
held the place for the limit allowed by
the clnb.
