Mayor Tlmanus of Baltimore has read the riot act to city employes in the matter of keeping better office hours. Being a business man himself, he can see no reason why men on the city pay roll should not give a fair day's work for good pay. Therefore he has determined that all shall rigidly adhere to the hours which are sup posed to govern municipal service. Visitors to the ruins of St. Pierre have observed the following surprising effect of the eruption of May 8. While some parts of the walls and other re-! mains of masonry still stand nothing remains of metallic constructions but an impalpable powder. Visitors coming to Spokane this year during Interstate Fair week, October 3rd to 9th, will be greeted upon enter ing the fair grounds with the sight of a new grand stand. The only place on earth where fresh water is secured from a salty sea is in the Persian gulf. There are fresh wa ter springs in the bottdm, from which divers fill goatskin bags. ABSOLUTE SECURITY.

Contagious Blood Poison is as treacherous and elusive as the serpent. You may be carrying it in your veins with no visible evidences of its existence ; for while mercury and potash seem to cure and all external signs disappear, the dis ease is doing its destruc tive work within, or the patient is constantly harassed by returning symptoms and unmistaka ble-traces of the blood poison. Thousands of physical wrecks and chronic invalids from the effects of Blood Poison know the uncer tainty of the mercury and potash treatment—that it stifles but does not kill the serpent. As long as there is life in the serpent there is danger in its fangs; and while your blood is tainted there is danger of infec tion. Safety lies only in crushing out the life of the loathsome disease and killing the serpent. For many years S. S. S. has been known as an antidote for Blood Poison. It is a remedy composed entirely of vegetable ingredients, and we offer $i,ooo for proof that it contains the least particle of mercury, potash or other mineral. It thoroughly purifies the blood, improves the appetite and diges tion, and tones up all parts of the system. In chronic and long-standing cases of Blood Poison, S. S. S. acts promptly and without ^leaving any bad after-effects. Write us about your case, and our physicians will advise with out charge, and we will mail you free our home-treatment book tell ing all about Contagious Blood Poison and its different stages and symptoms.

The Kind You Have Always Bought Bears the Signature of Vegetable growers will have an un usually good opportunity to take prizes V the Spokane Interstate Fair this fall. a THE GENIUS OF THE LAMP. The title of "the Sultan of Sulu" has a comic opera sound which, a writer In Everybody's Magazine de clares, is carried out by the appearance' and behavior of this Oriental potentate. The sultan and his suite were once en tertained at luncheon on board a Unit ed States transport. None of them had ever been on board a large vessel be fore. The visit was full of surprise and excitement for them. They looked the ship over at first with stolid interest, and the sultan himself set off the six-pounder with out flickering an eyelid. But at last, ir. the saloon, some one attemped to explain the mystery of the incandes cent lamps, and there the natives wer-J surprised out of their reserve. Even the sultan's face showed amazement when an army officer reached up and turned a lamp on and off repeatedly. His highness ordered one of his suite to do it. The fellow's face went greenish for a moment, but, nevertheless, he reached up trembling ly and touched it as he might have a hot brand. When he found that it did not hurt him. and that the light actually obeyed the impulse of his finger-tips, he was the most excited Moro in the archipelago. His excite ment was contageous. Nearly every cue in the suite started for a lamp on his own account, and the cabin was a bewilderment of flashing lamps. Presently Oriental cunning got the better of amazement, and one or two of them tried to fool the lamps. A fellow would steal quietly up to a bulb and reaching forward, suddenly turn it on, evidently with the inten tion of catching it napping. Or he would turn it oft' and jump away, ap parently with the same intention. But the lamps refused to be fooled, and the facial expression that followed each failure was ludicrous to behold. Of course they wanted to know what made the light. It was impossible to give them a history of electrical devel opment, but an officer present thought of giving an object-lesson that wouid prove a short cut to knowledge. He directed four or five of them to stand in line, holding hands. Then the men on the ends of the line were told each to grasp the brass part of a lamp. They did so, and Instantly the entire line sustained an electric shock. They were too astonished to speak, and not knowing enough to let go. they just stood there, with wonder and fear surg ing from face to face. The officers broke them apart at last and took them in to luncheon, but tHoy were changed men. Tuey had had :iu experience that passed all Oriental ui derstanding. The luncheon was a more or less dignified affair, varied by interprétai compliments and the agonies of tie sultan's official taster. It was easy to see that although the taster vis an habitual necessity to the sultan's peace of mind, on this occasion, at least, his function was purely perfunc tory. Of what avail was the protec tion of a poor human taster against magicians who could make lamps to burn without oil, who could send tlio genii of unrest to twitch in one's body like the fever? A DIFFICULT FEAF. This sport is lots of fun for the players, and still more for the spec tators, and a thick rug will remove all danger of bumps or bruises. Over the rug old newspapers should be spread to catch candle grease. The players kneel on their left knees, facing ench other, on the pa pers. Each holds his right foot in his right hand, and a candle, in a holder, in his left hand. One candle is burning, the other is not, and the trick is to light the sec ond candle from the first. It does not look easy, and it is a great deal more ditticult than it looks. It is pretty hard to keep your bal $ THE ACT OF BALANCING. mice on one knee, especially tlie left knee, and It is hard for many people to do anything requiring exactness or delicacy with the left hand. You are very likely to topple over sidewise, and will have to let your right foot, and perhaps even the can dle, go and catch yourself as best you can. * Now I would n't describe this trick If it were absolutely necessary to use a lighted cant'c, spill grease <• ibout, and possibly turn yourself or set lire to your clo'hes or the house. The trick will be safer, though just as difficult a'd amusing, if other things are substituted for the candles. For example, one hoy may try to hand* 1 letter or a card to the other. This is comparatively easy. When y 0 i have mastered it, try exchanging c «rds, which you may find very diffi .ult. Or one hoy may try to slip a ring— a very loose one, of course—on or off the other's finger, or to write on a card held in the other's hand. Every one seems to be going trough the world compelled to see a good deal of the society of those he doesn't enjoy.

Alpena, Mich., Sept. 5 (Special)— Seventy-five years of age but hale and hearty is Mr. Jerome K.

When asked for his reason for so strongly recommending the Great American Kidney Remedy, Mr. Fourn ier related the following experience: "I lecommeml Dodd's Kidney Pills because they cured me of Diabetes. I suffered with my kidney» for a long time and suffered terribly from those Urinary Troubles that are so general among aged people. "Then I started to use Dodd's Kid ney Pills and eight boxes of them cured my kidneys, regulated my water and made me feel like» hearty young man." Dodd's Kidney Pills make the old feel young because they make sound kidneys, bound kidneys mean healtii and health is the other name for youth.
