Cancer until
the blood is
polluted and the system thoroughly con
taminated by this deadly virulent poison.
Then a sore or ulcer appears on some
part of the body ; it may be small and
Harmless looking at first, but as the can
cerous cells form and are deposited by
the blood near the sore, it increases in
size and severity, with sharp shooting
pains. No matter how often the sore is
removed by the surgeon's knife or flesh
destroying plasters, another comes and is
worse. The real disease is in the blood,
and the treatment must begin there. The
poisoned blood must be invigorated and
purified, and when this is done cancerous
cells can no longer form and the sore will
heal naturally and permanently.

the following biography of the patri

court had been appointed to sing one of
Haydn's compositions. At the rehearsal
she and the conductor differed as to the
time of the music. The matter was to
be settled by referring It to Haydn him
self. When called on to decide he asked
the conductor if the singer was hand

"Then she is right," replied Haydn.

LISZT'S "YOUNG BEETHOVEN.
A Reminiscence of Rubinstein. Half a
Century Ago,
Dr. William Mason was a pupil of
Liszt's, and while studying at Weimar
met many famous musicians, including
Rubinstein. In the Century he tells of
his first meeting with the "young
Beethoven," as Liszt called him.
Liszt sometimes left Weimar for a
few days in order to be present at or
conduct music festivals. On one of
these occasions, early in June, 1854, I
remained alone at home on account of
slight illness. As Klindworth had gone
to London for concert-playing and
piano-forte teaching, I had moved into
a suite of rooms In the Hotel zum
Erbprinzen. As a matter of interest
to pianists I here note the fact that
these identical rooms had been occu
pied by Hummel several years pre
viously. On the afternoon of the day on which
Liszt left with his cortege the head
waiter came to me, saying that a young
man who had just arrived was in the
cafe inquiring for Liszt and seemed
disappointed on learning of his at
sence. "I told him," said the waiter,
"that you were the only one of the fam
ily here. Will you see him?" I assented,
and in a few moments he ushered In a
young man about 24 years of age, of
strong features and with a great shock
of dark hair, who Introduced himself
as Anton Rubinstein. I explained to
him that Liszt had gone away for three
or four days to conduct a festival, and
that I could not say precisely when he
would return; but in the meantime, if
I could make him feel at home, I should
be very glad.
After some conversation he asked me
to play. I remember very well how he
looked sitting on the sofa, and the posi
tion of the piano in the room. I played,
but he did not. I had a suspicion that
he was inveigling me without any in
tention of allowing me to take his
measure. He sat there in a gruff Rus
sian way, like a bear, and perhaps my
imagination helped to produce this im
pression. Rubinstein was already quite well
known as a child prodigy, but of course
not nearly so famous as he afterward
Decame. 1 ao not recollect paying Mm
very much attention during Liszt's ab
sence, but, then, he did not allow me
he was rambling about all the time; nor
did I hear him play before Liszt came
back. When Liszt returned, Rubinstein
was immediately invited to take up his
residence on the Altenburg. I remem
ber that there, one afternoon, he played
may of his own compositions. His
playing was full of rush and fire, and
characterized by strong emotional tem
perament. He had .1 big technic and
reveled in dash and fire. His touch was
hard, and lacked the mellow and tender
beauty of tone which distinguished it
in later years.
STRIKING POWER OF FANCY.
Cainille Flammarion Cites Several In
teresting Cases.
Cainille Flammarion, in his recent
book, "The Unknown," alludes to the
power of imagination. "The power
which imagination is capable of exer
cising over life itself," he says, "has
long been established. The experiment
performed in tho last century in En
gland on a man condemned to dei'li,
who was made the subject of a study
this kind by medical men is well known.
The subject of the experiment was fas
tened securely to a table with strong
straps, his eyes were bandaged, and he
was then told that he was to be bled
from the neck until every drop of his
blood had been drained. After this an
insignificant puncture was made in his
skin with the point of a needle and a
siphon was arranged near his head in
such a manner as to allow a contin
uous stream of water to flow over his
neck and fall with a slight sound into
a basin placed on the floor. At the end
of six minutes, the condemned man, be
lieving that he had lost at least seven
or eight quarts of blood, died of ter
ror." A somewhat similar experiment was
also tried in England during an epi
demic of smallpox. Leading physicians
came to the conclusion that fright was
killing almost as many as the disease,
so they applied to the government for
permission to experiment on a con
demned criminal. The criminal, It is
said, was promised a pardon if he sur
vived the ordeal of sleeping in a bed
with a person who had just died of
smallpox. The man consented. The
result was that in the morning he was
found to be suffering from smallpox
and of this very disease he died a few
days later. Yet the bed in which he
had lain and the sheets and blankets
on it had been purchased expressly for
this very purpose and had never before
been used.
How to Save School Children.
In tie Ladies' Home Journal Edward
Bok takes up the cudgel again agains t
the cramming methods inflicted oa
school children, and urges as a step
toward a reform of the abnse "that
every parent who has a child at school
will send a note to the teacher that,
under no circumstances whatever, will
the father and mother permit any home
study by the child.
"This may seem to be a very simple
thing to do," he contends, "but often
the simplest things are the most effec
tive. If the teachers of this country
should, within the next month, receive
thousands of notes from parents to the
effect pointed out, which they could
and I can speak for hundreds of teach
ers when I say that they would gladly
do so hand to the heads of their
schools, it would practically mean a
readjustment of the entire system of
study. This may be better understood
when it is realized that the entire sys
tem of study during school hours in
many of the schools is so arranged as
to allow for some of the work to be
done by the pupils at home. Let this
taken-for-granted home study be stop
ped, and a change would at onceJSave
to be made. The studies at school can
not be increased in number, for already
there are too many. The school hours
cannot be lengthened because the tide
has set in to shorten them. Hence, some
stuies would have to be thrown out, if
home study were eliminated. And this
is the result desired." .
Un que Temples.
Mayalipuram, India, is graced with
seven of the most remarkable temples
in the world, each of these unique
places of worship having been fash
ioned from solid granite boulders. The
"Hevasa-Goda-Cla," the largest of the
seven, is three and a half stories high,
its outlines resembling those of an At
lantic steamship. The Inside of the
boulder has been chiseled away until
the walls do not exceed eight inches
in thickness. The two floors above
that of the foundation are each about
a foot in thickness, and seem as solid as
the rock of ages. The upper stories
are reached by a spiral stairway, carved
from the same piece of grSnite.

A Question of Color.
A young clerk at the Oliver-Flnni
Grocery Company received a slight
scratch the other day, and the manager
called out to the negro who does chores
around the store to go and get some
flesh-colored court plaster.
The negro started off down the street
at a lively pace, but In a few minutes
he came back with about three times
the amount of speed he used in his de
parture, and, running breathlessly up
to the manager, asked: "Do yon want
white or black flesh colored?" Mem

AN EDITOR'S EXPERIENCE.

FOR MANY YEARS.

Advises His Readers and Friends.
From Farmer Dairyman.North Yakima, Wash
In 1883, I entered the regular D. S.
Army and was assigned to Co. "K,"
Sixth Infantry, then stationed at Fort
Douglas, Utah. My boyhood days had
been spent on a farm in Kentucky, but
I had not been accustomed to manual
labor for several years previous to en
tering upon active military duties.
The constant and excessive daily drills,
sleeping in tents and general exposure
of a severe winter, brought on a pecu
liar nervous trouble, which soon inca
pacitated me for all garrison work.
The post surgeon ordered me to the
hospital and diagnosed my case as
mnscnlar rhuematism. My lower
limbs seemed to be dying losing all
sense of outward feeling. The most
excruciating pains made me almost
wild with misery and I could not stand
alone. My appetite was ravenous, di
gestion perfect, lungs strong and gen
eral health good except for this dis
tressing disability.
After several days' treatment with
no change, the surgeon concluded I
had heart failure. "He rescribed tinc
ture of digitalis, and gave me several
ounces of this without any effect, ex
cept that I kept getting worse. In the
fall of 1884, I was discharged on sur
geon's certificate of disability, and be
gan the difficult task of existing and
trying to regain my health in a strange
land, surrounded by unsympathetic
people.
My condition continued to erow
more alarming. I was compelled
to use a heavy staff to prevent tailing.
AH attempts at manual and mental
labor were made under exasperating
difficulties. I seemed about one-half
dead. My weight was less than 140
pounds, though I Was over six feet in
height. I tried electricity with no
avail. Several local physicians gave
me treatment which was not effective.
Many well advertised remedies for
nervous debility were taken .with no
satisfactory results.
I read all the medical authorities
obtainable, and finally found my symp
toms under the head of Locomotor
Ataxia. The author said there was no
cure for the disease, and I believed
him. He recommended a mixture of
iodide of potassium and sarsaparilla.-as
a possible aid to existence. I took sev
eral bottles of this formula and double
the strength. This failing, I made up
my mind to die as soon as possible.
There was no comfort, pleasure or hap
piness in'life which knew nothing but
pain.
One day I read the experience of a
man who had been afflicted with Loco
motor Ataxia, and cured by the use of
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale Peo
ple. I bought one box and tried the
remedy, following the directions very
closely. This had a little effect, and I
procured a half dozen boxes, and" took
them before I was convinced that a
cure was possible. I began with ono
pill after each meal, in a few days I
took two, and finally used one box a
week. My pains gradually disappear
ed, color came to my fiesb, I could,
walk, run and jump, and actually dis
pensed with a cane.
Words cannot portray my feelings.
Today 1 weigh 200 pounds, am perfect

than I did 10 years ago. Journalists
and all brain workers are liable to
afflictions such as I suffered. To all
such I would advise the 'use of Dr.

Why Certain Metals Cannot Be Cast.
As is well known, some metnls are
unsuitable for casting, whileothers,
like iron, can readily be cast ia any
desired shape. The property of casting
well is said to depend upon whether
the metal contracts or expands on so
lidifying from the liquid form. Iron,
like water, expands in solidifying, and
hence the solid metal may be seen
floating in the liquid iron about it.
Gold and silver contract iu oooling,
and therefore, are not suitable for cast
ing. A Slight Correction.

While some farmers are deploring
the loss of profit on wool, tiie knowing
ones are raising "hothouse" or early
lambs, and make more profit from one
ewe than they formerly did with half
a dozen sheep kept for wool. They
use the mutton breeds, attach but lit
tle value to the fleece, and make larger
profits from sheep than they have ever
done before.

The Smell

of the Back
That is where some people feel
weak all the time
They are likely to be deapondent
aad it is not unusual to find them
borrowing trouble as if they hadn't
enough already.
The fact is their kidnej'S are
weak, either naturally or because
of sickness, exposure, worry or
other influences.
'I am thankful to say," writes J. Ti.
Campbell, of Sycamore. III., "that Hood's
Sarsapnrilla has cured me. For many
years I was troubled with backache.. At
times I was so bud I had to be helped from
the bed or chair. I ani now well and
strong and free from pain." What this
great medicine did for liiiu it has done fot
others.
Hood's Sarsaparilla
Promises to cure and keeps the
promise. Begin treatment with
Hood's today.
An iugenious table intended for the
use of invalids who are confined to the
bed, has been devised. It is so arrang
ed that it can be raised or lowered,
an 1 can be increased or decreased in
diameter, to overlap the side of the
bed. By pressing a knob it can be con
verted into a reading-desk, and spring
clips are provided for holding the lead
ing matter in position. The mechan
ism of this tablejs so easily worked
that an inavlid can operate it without
assistance.
Giraffe skins have become extremely
valuable because of their scarcity.
Ten or 15 years ago it was common
enough for a hunter in South Africa to
kiil 40 or SO ot the animals in a day.
At this rate they were rapidly being
exterminated, and now a giraffe skin
is worth anywhere from $20 to $50.
It is a great mistake to make a large
tea biscuit. Properly speaking, a tea
biscuit should not be more than tw i
inches in diameter and proportionate!.'
thick when baked. This gives a deli
cate, moist, flaky biscuit which will
be cooked through before the outside
crust has become hard or over brown.
