The skin is the seat of an almost end less variety of diseases. They are knewu by various names, but are all due to the same cause, acid and other poisons in the blood that irritate and interfere with the proper action of the skin. To have a smooth, soft skin, free from all eruptions, the blood must be kept pure and healthy. The many preparations of arsenic and potash and the large number of face powders and lotions generally used in this class of diseases cover up for a short time, but cannot remove per manently the ugly blotches and the red, disfiguring pimples. Eternal vigilanco is the price of at bosostSSfisI compioxion when such remedies are relied on. Mr. H.T. Shobe, 2704 lucns Avenue. St. Ijuxs, Mo., says : ' My daughter was afflicted for years with a disfiguring eruption on her face, which resisted all treatment. She was taken to two celebrated -health springs, but received no bene fit. Many medicines were prcscriued, but with out result, until we decided to try S. S. S., and by the time the first bottle w as finished the eruption began to disappear, A. dozen bottles cured her completely and left her skin perfectly smooth. She is now seventeen years old. and not a sign of the embarrassing disease has ever returned." S. S. S. is a positive, unfailing cure for the worst forms of skin troubles. It is "the greatest of all blood purifiers, and the only one guaranteed purely vegetable.

Most people, If asked the question, would say that "bed" was the place to rest in, not to work. And though this Is true of the great majority of people. there Is still a decent modicum left wno find "bed" a very congenial place in which to do their work, or a great part of it, and who, In fact, do not dis guise the truth that they can work there very effectively. e This plan was followed by the great poet Campbell, who tells us that he lay awake thinking of his projected poem "Lochlel," when there came Into his mind, with other poetic thoughts, the idea of the shadows in the room "show ing up" as the day began to break, and he at once jumped out of bed and wrote down what has since become a world wide proverb, "Coming events cast their shadows before." Many writers owe much of their sue cess to.. clever plots and articles which have been begun, worked out, and linal ly set into proper form during the time that their authors lay between the blankets. The writings afterward have often been merely mechanical, and even much of that was done In bed; the setting of the plot and the dialogue was the chief thing, as most writers know too well. "I trust you'll excuse me," said a cel ebrated doctor lately to a friend who had called to see him early, and who, on being asked to go up to his bed room, found the physician still enjoying .the comfort of the sheets. "Kindly sit down, my boy, for a minute, till I've done answering these letters'. I have my letters brought up Immediately when they arrive in the morning and I go over them in bed and put down the replies in pencil on the back of them. Then when my secretary arrives at 9 he has nothing to do but go and answer them. As you know, I am kept busy from 10 o'clock, when I first ap pear downstairs, till late at night, and thlo plan, you see, saves me nearly an hour's work with him." That students often "burn the mid night oil" In bed is a fact commonly known, but few are aware of the length to which this is carried out, es peclally in colleges. I know a college in London where any night one could find thirty or forty men all working in bed, with note books, manuals, pencils and all In full rig-oiit, many of them having their writing desks before them on the bed. The contrivances for turn lng out the gas without getting out of bed when work is done would do credit to the Ingenuity of an Edison. "And where did you ever find time to get through your classical authors and do your mathematical problems so thor oughly as to gain distinction?" said I to a London University man, who had graduated a few years ago with dis tingulshed honors. For I knew he had worked hard at his own business all the day from 9 till 5. "In bed, old fellow, In bed!" said he. I used to He awake in the morning for an hour before getting up and employ ed the time In thinking over the Eucli dian 'riders' and 'conic' problems that had. nuzzled me. Almost invariably I worked Lthelr solution out in my brain reaper or pencil while lying in bed. And every night before I went to sleep I went over so many dozen Greek verbs and Latin annotations till they were all just like the multiplication ta ble to me." There is another class of men who work much in bed viz., the legal fra ternity. Not very long ago a leading Q. C. in an Important case only got his hrlef delivered the night before the case came on for trial at Manchester isslzes, and yet, to everybody's aston ishment, he showed next day a most surprising grasp of the case, and dealt so successfully with it and the wit nesses engaged In It as to briug off his client successfully. Asked as to how he had been able "to master such an In tricate brief In one night, the Q. C. re plied: "Took It to bed with me and Went over It this morning." Pearson's Wekly. Root Suffocation. It Is difficult to get people to under stand that trees can die from drowning just as animals can. Trees feed pri marily by the roots, but there must be a certain amount of oxygen in the soil to enable them to make cse of the food. Standing water prevents the action of the life-giving oxygen. A Boston corre spondent refers to two large horse chestnuts which were moved last spring with the greatest skill, but they died. In the fall an examination was made and the holes found to be full of water within one foot of the surface of the ground. The holes were really flower pots without the necessary holes in the bottom to allow the water to es cape. There can be no better lesson In gardening than to be continually re membering why it is necessary to have a hole in a flower pot. Mehan's Month ly. Sparkling Atmosphere of Pekin. A German diplomat is responsible for the epigram: "You approach Pekin in tears, but you leave It weeping." The reason for this appears to be the pure atmosphere. The quality of the air is described as one continual exhilara tion; "in winter, dry and sparkling, the very champagne of atmospheric vint ages; In spring and autumn, a delicious blending of frost and sun." The keen air braces the nerves like a tonic. They admit, however, that summer is hot in Pekin, but residents enjoy health and physical comfort in the crisp Pekin air. First Double-Decked English Ship. The first double-decked ship built in England was the Great Harry, con structed In 1500-by order of Henry VII. It was 1,000 tons burden, and cost 14, 000. a sum worth more in those days than 120,000 uow. At that time 50 to 100 tons was the usual burden of mer chant ships. The Great Harry was burned by accident, Persia's Royal Standard. An aproh is the royal standard of Persia.

THE SOUTHERN REPUBLICS Further Prospects for War in the Near Future An official announcement has been made that Chile has purchased from the Lairds in England two torpedo boat destroyers. The purchase of these vessels is considered in Argentina as being a violation of the agreement of botn republics not to increase their navies. Argentine,, as a resule of Chile's ac tion, has decided to purchase a battle ship of 11,000 tons and has instructed one of her ministers iu Europe to enter into negotiations for the pur chase of the - vessel. ' It is believed that tae. ship will, be ready for ser vice next May. It is believed that the Chilean ad ministration will propose an evacua tion of the disputed . territory by the forces of both republics until the de cision of the boundary question is announced by the British government, to which it has been, referred for arbi tration. It is understood that the Chilean government wishes to let matters drift along and try to avoid an actual con nlct with Argentine and yet refrain from making a frank explanation. Ar gentine has decided to insist upon ob taining a response from Chile that will clear away the unsatisfactory features of the case. TO KILL THE DANDRUFF GERM. Is the Only Possible Way of Having a Permanent Cure. If you see a woman or a man with luxuriant glossy hair, you may be sure neither has dandruff to amount to any thing. In nearly every case where women and men have thin brittle hair, they owe it to dadruff. There are hun dreds of preparations that "claim" to cure dandruff, but not one but New bro's Herpicide tells you that dandruff is the result of a germ burrowing into the scalp, and that permanent cure of dandruff and its consequent falling and baldness, can only be had my kill ing the germ; and there is no other preparation that will destroy that germ but Newbro's Herpicide.

AN OVERWORKED PHRASE. The Expression 'He Toole His Life la His HnndH." "The expression 'he took his life in his hands' alwaj's struck me as being very foolish," said a bright young gen tleman, "and I have often wondered why bo many persons persist in using It when they want to speak of extraor dinary dangers. Now, extraordinary danger is one thing and the simple, commonplace thing of taking one's own life in one's hands is an entirely differ ent thing. "I work In a big building. There are a steam engine and a mammoth boiler in tljejaseinent. Whenever I enter thatvullding, if they are running the engine in the basement, I take my lite in my hands. I get on the elevator on the fifth floor; I take my life in my hands. I go out of town; the car may tumble over a trestle somewhere. walk along the street; a sign may fall on me. I make my way across the thoroughfare; who knows but what a street car or a vehicle of some sort may not run me down? I cross the riv er; may I not suddenly find myself in the swirling stream and sinking for the last time? If I walk along the street, may not a brick or a loosened cornice come crashing down upon me? There are a row and a shot or two on the corner; may not a stray bullet wing me? And so on. Pessimism? No. Logic. That's all. It just shows the difference between taking one's own life In one's hand and the matter of confronting extraor dinary danger. These risks are ordi nary, plain, old, everyday risks. The fireman who dashes into a burning building to rescue a child, the fellow who grabs the bridle of a runaway horse, the hero who will plunge into the river to save some person who is about to drown these are the persons who confront what I would call ex traordinary dangers, and the worn platitude of saying of one of these 'he took his life in his hands' would not fit the case because there would be in the act an element of heroism which would place it much above the com monplace."

There Is a prevalent Idea that it is something you get at the sea and that it Is good ' for the lungs. What that something is, however, few people have sufficient curiosity to inquire. Ozone is what chemists call an nootropic form of oxygen that is to say, it is oxygen n a highly active and concentrated con dition. In ordinary pure air ozone ex ists, but only in what chemists call "traces." Larger amounts are found in ocean and mountain air. It Instantly disappears when brought in contact with decaying matter, dissipating it self, as it were, in the act of oxidizing that matter.. Ozone Is known to occur more plenti fully during thunderstorms, and we have, of course, the analogy of its be ing artificially produced from oxygen by electrical' discharges in the labora tory.. On the body "ozone Is believed to act as a stimulant; hence the popular notion of its beneficial effects as expe rienced by the sea, but in any greater amount than mere traces it is a violent irritant' One authority goes the length of asserting that it is doubtful whether It is beneficial to animal life at all. The Amex'Icnn Soldier. That West Point is the best military school in the world is conceded by all Impartial critics. Its methods trans form the average raw youth into the honorable, refined and highly educated officer of our army. He is pre-eminently taught the "habit of command," which, as a rule, he uses without any of the arrogance shown by officers of some of the armies of Europe, notably that of Germany. He is made to realize that he commands men who are as sen sitive as they are brave and who ap preciate and respect a character com bining generosity, kindness, firmness and, above all else, physical and moral courage. These traits of character are careful ly cultivated at West Point, with a re sult that, besides having the best en listed personnel, we have in the United Ktfltpi nrmv tvltliniit nnnctinn cv rlnn'hr IT.
