In the hours of triumph after Wagram Napoleon rcaltecel that b.ad the young German fanatic who had come to attempt his life been suc cessful in his mission one thrust from that vulgar kite-ben knife which the lad concealed would have? shattered all the glories whose fashioning had caused such rivers of blood to How. He re solved upon the divorce of Josephine. He would take as his wife u princess and found a dynasty. Whom should he marry? Should it lie a princess of the Russian royal house or a priue-ess of another? He slept in the palace of the man whom he had but newly re conquered, the emperor of Austria, and slept, as fat would have it, in the very room in which the heir for whom ho prayed was destined to die. T'ndcr the roof of the son ef the Caesars lie re solved to marry that man's daughter. A little while earlier she' had heart! that the tide of battle hael turned ngalnst the French and had written to her father: "We have heard with great joy that Napedeon was present nt the battle which was hist. If he would only lose his bend as well!" The writer of the words became, ten months after the French troops entered Vienna as conquerors, the bride of the man whose eleath she now wished She was the granddaughter of Mario Antoinette, and by his marriage to her Napoleon believed it would be the sal vation of France. A man wiser In the matter than himself hud nointed to a ! Russian marriage, foreseeing renewed hostilities with either Austria or Rus sia. Xupoleou, he said, knew his way to Vienna; hedembted whether he knew the road to St. Petersburg. Napoleon chose to find, as he afterward said, that the marriage was but an abyss strewn with flowers. The marriage led Inevitably to the calamitous Rus sian campaign and to the breakup of his empire. His ruin began with his marriage to the princess who was to be the mother of his child. All France acclaimed the union with joy, which Mas eclipsed only by the birth of the heir. St. James' Gazette. SILVIS. Mrs. V. II. Dumbeck has been disposed for the past few days.

S. lias worn the crown of public approval and lias been recognized as the King of Blood runners. It has demonstrated its ability to CURIv in thousands upon thousands of cases of blood and skin diseases until it is regarded today as the most reliable and safest of all blood medicines. Pure blood means strong, vigorous bodies, well nourished systems, steady nerves, and all the machinery of life working in harmony with nature thus insuring perfect health. Impure or diseased blood means the opposite of all this; any impurity, humor or poison in this vital fluid acts injuriously on the system and affects the general health. Pustular eruptions, pimples, rashes and the various skin affections show that the blood is in a feverish and diseased condition, as the result of too much acid or the presence of some irritating humor. Chronic Sores and Ulcers are the result of morbid, unhealthy matter in the blood, while Rheumatism, Catarrh, Scrofula, Contagious Blood Poison, etc., are all deep-seated blood disorders that continue to grow worse as long as the poisons which produce them remain in the blood. All blood troubles are not acquired. Throucrh the blood disease rrerms are trans- THOROUGHLY tested in tier family. mitted from one generation to another. Par ents hand down a tainted circulation to their children, and we see its effects manifested in various waj'S. The skin has a waxy, pallid appearance, the ees are often weak, glands of the neck enlarged, and, as the taint has been in the blood since birth, the entire health is usually affected, and the system weakened from want of nourishing, health-giving blood. In all blood troubles b. S. S. has proven itself "Tho lung of Blood Purifiers." It goes down into the circulation and removes all poisons, humors, waste or foreign matter, and makes this life-stream pure and health-sustaining. Nothing reaches inherited blood troubles like S. b. b.; it removes every particle of the taint, purines and strengthens the weak, deteriorated blood, supplies it with the healthful properties it needs aud establishes the foundation for good health. As a tonic S. S. S. has no equal, aud it will be found es pecially bracing to weak, anaemic persons. One of the greatest points in favor of S. S. S. is that it is purely vegetable, made from nature's healing, cleansing, health-producing roots, herbs and barks. It is the one medicine that may be taken, with absolute safety by the youngest child or the oldest member of the family. Rheumatism, Catarrh Sores and Ulcers, Skin Diseases, Scrofula, Contagious Blood Poison, and all other blood troubles are cured perma nently by S.S. S., and so thorough is the cleansing of the blood that no trace of the disease is left to break out in future years, or to be transmitted to offspring. If your blood is out of order begin the use of S. S. S., The King of Blood Purifiers, and restore this vital fluid to its normal healthy condition, and enjoy the blessing of good health. Btxk on the blood and any special medical advice desired will be furnished free of charge to all who write. THE SWIFT SPECIFIC COMPANY, ATLANTA, GA S. S. S. has been used extensivply in our family, g'ron to both, young and old, and always with the best results. It thoroughly cleanses the blood of all impur ities, at the same time it builds up the neneral health, gives appetite, strength and nergy. We have given it to our children, as intimated, and found it to be non injurious to the system a:id always capable of purify ing tho blood and restoring health. I unhesitatingly recommend it to all in need of a, blood metliclne. It is superior to everything else as a cure for blood diseases. MUrf. CLAIiA DAUBEKT, Schuylkill Haven, Pa.

Harvard has disposed of his K. ai- Mnr.y birds i:ests that you mm nave never l-ee'.i used. Tor instance, the marsh wren builds several with the idea that hi the case of disturbance the male will attract attention to tho nests oilier than that in which the fe male is brooding and so shield her from enemies." OLD BIRDS'NESTS. Many Feathered Creatures Use tne Same Ones Year After Year. "That common expression for worth- lessiu'ss, 'It has no more value man a last year's bird's nest,'" said a bird fancier, "is often far from correct. The majority of our birds oo leave their nests after raising a brood, but many do not. and their nests are used through a succession of years. I have known some birds to use their nests ten years in succession, and so per sistent are they that many times the female will return even after the nest has beeui robbed and the mate killed. Among those users of perennial nests are the wrens, some of the swallow family, bluebirds, great crested fly catchers, some of the owls, eagles. chickadees and some woodpeckers. "They repair to the nest each year and often build it over. A little wren has made its nest in a bole in a tree in my garden and has occupied it for the last eight years. Each year it has pile-d on new stuff till the hole is almost fill ed up. Some say that as soon as it be comes crowded the birds will clean it out. I know of a bluebird's nest that has been occupied for several years. It Is the same female year after year, for she has two black wing feathers and is lame. "Birds that build In exposed situa tions, like hangbirds, always build anew each season, and some others build anew for every brood. Some nev er build.
