Prie MISFORTUNE
Every one has a hereditary right to a pure blood supply, which insures
a strong, healthy body ; but how many do we see who have inherited that
greatest of all misfortunes, Scrofula, and are struggling under a legacy of
disease and suffering? Scrofula is a constitutional trouble handed down
from parent to child, a curse from generation to generation as long as the
scrofulous matter is allowed to remain in the family blood. As the very
foundation of the blood is diseased we see this awful affliction manifested
in many ways, such as enlarged glands or turmrs about the neck, which
often burst an~d become discharging ulcers, weak eyes, chronic Catarrh of the
head, skin diseass, etc. This blighting disease being so firmly intrenched
in the blood often attacks the bones, resulting in White Swelling, or hip
disease, vwhile a pallid, waxey appearance of the skin. loss of strength, and
often lung affections shiow that the disease is entirely destroying the rich,
nutritive qualities of the blood. There is but one way to cure Scrofula and
that is to purify the blood and rid it of the germs of disease, and for this
purpose nothing equals S. S. S. Its purifying and building-up properties
SSmake it the ideal remedy for Scrofula. S. S. S.

The Dramatic Flavor of Wall Street.
It is the speculative side of Wall
street that most appeals to the imag
ination. If we were dealing with that
side of Wall street we should not lack
for authenticated cases of high dra
matic flavor, as, for example, that of
a youth of eighteen who ran $2 into
a fortune of $200,000 in a few months
and was last heard of trying to pawn
his wife's engagement ring for $25;
or that of the farmer who made ser
eral millions of dollars from a very
modest beginning, slipped a check for
$300,000 under the breakfast plate of
each member of his family one morn
ing, tore the checks up because within
an hour the riches had become a mat
ter of domestic strife and was last
heard of when one day he brought a
load of hay across the ferry from Stat
en Island to New York and begged his
brokers to take it in lieu of margins

The Spanish 3lain.
"What do you understand by 'the
Spanish main?'" Such was the prob
len propounded at the club lunch ta
ble. and many and varied were the an
swers. In the "Wreck of the Hes
perus" it was remembered that there
spake up "an old sailor who had sailed
the Spanish main," and it was recalled
that in the "Ingolsby Legends" one
says, "My father dear he is not here;
he seeks the Spanish main." There
was. however, a certain vagueness
about the speakers' views as to what
particular thing was meant by the
word, some thinking one thing and
some thinking another, and only one
speaking with the authority of "an old
sailor who had sailed the Spanish
main." Such a discussion tends to
show how satisfied most of us are to
half know a thing or to think that we
know without troubling about verifica

A Tree of Many Powers.
The ash tree is rich with superstition.
The old charlatans'of the middle ages
used it in their love potions, and the
damsels of ancient times believed that
it would enable them to make their
sweethearts true and help them to dis
cover their future husbands. The in
habitants of Iceland still look with
dread upon the use of mountain ash as
fuel. Their belief that it will make
enemies of all who gather round a
hearthstone on which it burns is dcelp
seated and was once almost universal
in Europe.
Superstitious seekers after good luck
may still be found invoking the spirit
of the even l'eaved ash, after the man
ner of the ancient tree worshipers,
with the verses:
Even ash, I do pluck thee,
Hoping thus to meet good luck;
If no luck I get from thee
I shall wish thee on a tree.

The shopping sex.
The Englishwoman never knows
when she enters a shop what she
wants. She is swayed by impulse,
grabs wildly at everything she likes
or thinks she likes and probably comes
back and grumbles the next day. She
Is also completely lost If the shop
walkers do not dog her every footstep
to implore her to "look at this charm
ing toqlue" or condescend to "glance
at this special line in cheap skirts."
But the American woman resents any
suggestion that she does not know
what she wants, likes to be left se
verely alone and if interfered with
may abruptly leave the shop. But,
while she is less irritating than the
Englishwoman. she is far more exact

For some time before she was broken
up on the mue of the river Mersey,
near Liverpool, she was on view as a
showv ship. One firm of Liverpool
lothiers hired her for a season, and in
ddition to using her for its advertising
purposes made use of her for catchpen
ny shows. In the large cable tank a
circus was fitted up and performances
given at so much a head, while other
exhibitions of the Coney Island type
were spread all over her deck.
