THE YELLOW BAISAM The Riesengebirge aboands in deli cious herbs, from -which the most effica cious balms have been at all times made. The inhabitants of the village of Exummhubel still use essences made "with, these simples, and this will appear less surprising waen it is known that those inhabitants are in part descended from the students of Prague of the fa mous school of Paracelsus, who were expelled during the war of the HuEsites, and who, without doubt, were in posses sion of unusual botanical secrets, the knowledge of which is at the present day neglected. But among the herbs which the Riesengebirge produces is one which has become celebrated beyond all the literature of fable. It is called the yellow balsam and grows only in a kitchen garden, of which Bubezahl has reserved for himself the exclusive en joyment. A marvelous power is attrib uted to this herb. The most durable and the most inveterate maladies do not re sist it. It serves even to nourish the mind, and Bubezahl permits only a small number of his favorites to gather it Once upen a time a lady of distinc tion who resided at Idcgnitz fell dan gerously ilL Fearing for her life, she sent for a peasant of the mountains, and promised him a large reward if he would bring her a yellow balsam from Bubezahl 's garden. Seduced by tho temptation of gain, the peasant ven tured to undertake the adventure. When he had reached the wild and desert place in which the garden is situated, he per ceived the wonderful plant and, seizing a spade, he prepared to dig it up, but while he was trenching the earth a fu rious wind suddenly arose and. a voice like thunder sounded in his ears words which he did not comprehend. He rose up quite frightened and advanced to ward the place whence the noise pro ceeded. Scarcely was he able to resist tho wind and keep himself upright. Presently on the ridge of a rock he saw the movement of a gigantic apparition. The phantom had the human form; his long beard hung down to his breast; a large, hooked ncse gave him a deformed visage; his menacing eyes seemed to dart lightnings, and his locks and his cloak floated in the wind of the tempest. In one of his hands was an enormous club, full of knots. ""What are you about there?" cried this supernatural being to the peasant The peasant, conquering like a bravo man the alarm which at first seized him, auswered: "I seek the yellow bal sam. A sick woman has promised to pay me well for it." "That which you hold you may take away," replied the giant, "but take good car a not to come a second time." At these words he brandished his club with a terrible gesture and disappeared. The peasant pensively descended the mountain, and the lady thought herself happy when she saw herself in posses sion of the remedy which was to shorten her sufferings. Her illness, in fact, di minished at the sight. Nevertheless, she did not obtain a complete cure. She again sent for the peasant. "Have you again the courage," said she to him, "to go and seek for me the yellow balsam?" ".Madam," answered the peasant, "the lord of tho mountain appeared to mo the first time in a terrible shape and forbade me with threats to set my feet again in this garden. I have too much fear of offending him. " Howevr, the dame conquered his fear by the promiso of a still larger sum than the first, and for the second time he determined to penetrate into Bube sahPs domain, but scarcely had he be gun to dig up the yellow balsam when a frightful storm again arose, and the figure appeared to him more menacing still than 1? had seen it on his first journey. The phantom's locks were more disordered; bis cloak floated in the air in larger folds; lightnings flashed from his eyes. He cried, with a voice which made the mountain tremble, f fWhat are yon about there? The abysses repeated, "What are you about there?" 'J seek the yellow balsam, " answered the peasant, '"'A sick woman has prom jsed to pay mo well for it." The giant could no longer contain his anger. "Madman, did I not caution you, and yon dare return? Kowyou pos sess it, save yourself if you can." At the same instant flames appeared to fall on the criminal and to burn his face. The powerful club flew round in the air and dashed a rock near him into shivers. The ground trembled under his feet. A frightful clap of thunder assist ed to stun him, and he fell down sense less. He did not come to himself until long afterward. The giant had disap peared, and the thunder growled less loudly, but hp still thought he heard he resounding voice of -the spirit, and his limbs were as if they had been broken. However, he grasped the bal sam in his hand. At last, soaked with rain, surrounded with thickfogs, shoved jiere and there by malevolent; genii, he crawled from rock to rock all the night end all the following day without knowing where he was. At length a collier, having found him half dead with fatigue, carried him into bis cabin. There he took some repose and got rid of his fright, after which he hastened to return to Liegnitz. The lady was de lighted to see him .again with the so much desired plant and gave him so large a sum of money that he forgot the dangers he had run and went joyfully home. Several weeks elapsed. The dame appeared almost cured. Nevertheless, she was not so entirely. "If I had a third balsam," said she, "I am well convinced that I should be out of danger." She then sent for the peasant, who at first was unwilling to come. Instigated, however, by some evil spirit, he at length yielded to the entreaties of the lady. "Here I am, madam," said he on en f . tering. "What do yon want with me? X hope that you do not require me to go a third time for the balsam. Heaven keep me from doin so. I had a great deal of difficulty to get back safe and sound from my last journey. I tremble yet when I think of if." The lady then conjured him in the most pressing manner again to brave the dangers which hitherto had caused him but a passing terror. She promised him great riches and offered him a mag nificent farm. In short, she so com pletely dazzled the rash peasant that he swore, although it should cost him his life, to go for the last time to pull a balsam in the enchanted garden. "If I come back from it," thought he to himself, "I shall be rich, and I may pass the rest of my days in joy and abundance." He re-entered his house making these reflections. Nevertheless, he did not again dare to undertake the perilous voyage alone. "My dear boy," he said to the eldest of his children, "I must go to the chapel which is at the summit of themountain. You will accompany me." They set off together. The more they advanced the more the defiles became narrow and the mountains barren. "When they arrived on the banks of a lake which spread calmly and darkly between two precipitous rocks, the fa ther fell into a profound reverie. There was something in his unquiet looks so strange that his son involuntarily trem bled. "What is the matter with you, fa ther?" he asked. The father remained silent. They con tinned to climb the sides of the moun tain, and when they were near the gar den the father' Eaid: "Evil spirits have misled me 'from my earliest youth, and therefore I have always aspired to the possession of great riches. I have never bad the fear of God. I have never had pity far men. I have led a wild and irregular life, not giving myself the trouble to set good examples, which is the duty of a father. I am now called by satan, for I must rob tho lord of the mountain of the yellow balsam and the lord of themoun tain will destroy me." The son began to weep. "Father, " he exclaimed, "renounce your project. Return to the house. God is merciful." Wild, however, with despair, the father had already seized the spade and Eet to work. In an instant all the ele ments appeared to be confounded to gether, the winds were unchained, the clouds burst, tho brooks were changed into impetuous torrents, groans issued from all the plants in- the garden. The mountain opened and from its crest de scended, in the midst of the hurricane, a giant of prodigious size, holding in his hand an immense club. He took the peasant and hurled him in the air. An enormous rock fell down and covered him with its ruins. The son heard the moans of his father, which gradually became weaker. For a long time he re mained astounded in the place. At last, the sky clearing up, he rose and, thor oughly frightened, sought the chapel in order to recommend himself to God. At the moment at which the peasant became no more, the lady of Liegnitz, who had appeared to be almost entirely recovered, suddenly died. New York News. The Crocodile's Strong Jaw. Sir Samuel Baker, in his "Wild Beasts, " Eays that the power of the jaws of the crocodile is terrific Once he had the metal of a large hook, the thickness of ordinary telegraph wire, completely bent together, the barbed point being pressed tightly against the shank and rendered useless. This compression was caused by the snap of the jaws when seizing a live duck, which he had used as a bait, the hook being fastened be neath one wing. On one occasion he found a fish weighing 70 pounds bitten clean through as if divided by a knife. This, again, was the work of a suap from the jaws of a crocodile. M. Paul Bert once made experiments on the strength of a crocodile's jaws by means of a dynamometer. He found that a crocodile weighing 120 pounds exerted a force of 308 pounds in closing his jaw. The lion has an enormous jaw power. On one occasion an African traveler pushed the butt end of his gun into a lion's month, and the pressure of the jaws cracked it as though it had been struck bv a steam hammer. Daily Duties. The best pert of one's life is the per formance of oe's daily duties. All higher motives, ideas, conceptions and sentiments in a man's life are of little value if they do not strengthen him for the better disc'-jnrge of the duties which devolve upon Lim in the ordinary affairs of life.

He and a friend, another old professor, used to take a daily walk together and discuss matters quite beyond the comprehension of ordi nary mortals. One day when the walking was very bad professor No. 1 was on his way to the corner at which he and his friend always met when he encountered a young student whose face he recognized dimly, having seen it every day far some weeks in his morning class. He accordingly hailed his pupil, who was wading through the mud to get across the street. "Have you seen my friend?" he asked. "Yes, sir, " replied the student, paus ing respectfully in the midst of a mud puddle to remove his cap. "He is at the corner waiting for you. " "Good," replied the professar,looking over his spectacles. "1 thank you. You may be seated." Strand .Magazine. 31 ore than 10,000 persons are engaged in the manufacture of explosives in' England.

We all become interested sooner or later in the subject of wrinkles. They are the "irreparable outrage" of Ra cine, but although they are so univer sal few have endeavored to explain their origin and progress. Wrinkles are pro duced in the first instance by the fre quent repetition of some muscular con traction or by sickness. They are not merely superficial, but appear when the epidermis is removed, and are found not only in the face, but all over the body. They do not run in any regular direction, and no law has been found including all their directions. It has been said that the life history of a man can be written from his wrinkles, but physiology hardly agrees in this in stance, for it has still to be proved that a general's wrinkles differ from those of a physician's or a laborer's from a lawyer's. A man does not always or even generally carry about a faithful autobiography in his face. Although no part of the body is free from them they visit chiefly the face, particularly round the eves and lips. Ther run in all di-' recti on horizontal, vertical and oblique, straight, curved and crossed. Going in the sun with the face insuffi ciently covered brings them on prema turely, but they are in every case nor mal at 40 or even earlier. Vertical wrinkles between tho eyes come quickly to men who study or wor ry themselves. This can readily be im agined. The eyebrows contract natural ly when in deep thought. Grief or wor ry produces the same action, which, when repeated frequently, produces a fcld in the skin, marking emotion un dergone many times. Between these and the straight lines on the forehead, al ready mentioned, come the arched wrin kles of the forehead, found above the root of the nose. These often tell of long and painful mental torture. They arise from a cruel physical suffering or of still more great development of the vertical wrinkles and the resistance of the skin above. The crow's feet mark tho passing of the fortieth year and are characterized by furrows which diverge from the ex ternal angles of the eyes in all direc tions, liko the claws of a bird, from which they aro named. The wrinkles of the nose, which descend from the nostrils down each side of the mouth, are, perhaps, the first to appear. These furrows aro created in laughing and mastication. A simple smile is suffi cient to produce them, so it is not sur prising that the repetition of the com monest acts should soon be graven on the face. They aro also hereditary. The wrinkles of the cheeks and chin follow the oval of the face and are caused by a diminution of the fatty substance un der the skin, which then falls into folds. The small wrinkles which form a network in the lower parts of the cheeks near the ears have the same origin and only appear in old age. Those found in the upper eyelids and . r At i tri - j.t sometimes in ine luwer, which give me i eyes an air of fatigue, are the results of , hard living, grief or worry. New York Ledger. KNOW THEIR POWERS. The Eternal Womanly In the Bongh Girls of Xew York. In the girls of the rougher tenement house districts the eternal womanly wears such a disguise of the eternal gamin that it cannot always be recog nized. Their pertness and sauciness are only sharpened by their precocity and their tomboy habits of street Arabia. A reporter recently had occasion to visit lower Washington street to ascertain the facts regarding tho murder of a boy down there. He was obtaining his in formation from the boys of -the neigh borhood, who might have been play mates of the dead youth. A circle of them, together with three or four girls of 15 or 16 years, was gathered around, him. A big, bulking youth about 20 years pld arrogated, to himself tho place of spokesman. He was evidently the ty--rant, the bully of the street, a young !tBill tho Brute," who had not yet ao quired a wife tQ beat and was conse-. quently an object of great interest to these misses, whose skirts bad not yet grown down to their ankles. With bis big, harsh voice he silenced every inter ruption of bis tale, saying: Shut up there I I'm tellin this yarn." Of course this adjuration, which forms a part of the ordinary courtesy of the neighborhood, did not quiet the girls. They chaffed him and the report er and giggled until at last the speaker said to the reporter: "Don't mind them. They're no 'count. They're nothin but girls." "Of course he'll mind us, smarty," instantly retorted one of the girls. "We's the makin's of ladies." It was the eternal womanly of street Arabia. New York Tribune. Dn Maurier Heroines. When Mrs. Frances Hodgson Burnett was first presented to Du Maurier, who was, in point of fact, rather an under sized man, she exclaimed : "Oh, I am so glad that vou are not six feet tall!" "But why?" asked Du Maurier. "Because for these many months," replied Mrs. Burnett, who is consider- ably below medinm height, 4 'you have simply denied us the right to live. You have made us feel that a woman who is not six feet tall has not the right to exist," "Oh, that is only a trick of mine!" laughed Du Maurier. "I have started again and again to make my heroine a little woman, but before I know it she has somehow grown way bevond my own recognition." American Queen. An Analysis. "What did that young man call this poem?" asked the editor. "A satire." "And that implies that he is show ing tne useiessness ana aosuraity ox something." "I believe so." "Well, there's only one guess that I can make concerning this, and that is that it is a satire on poetry." Wash ington Star. A Delicate CoBsplImeat. No more elegant compliment was ever paid to a preacher than that of King Louis XIV of France to Jean Ba tiste Masillcn, bishop of Clermont. Said he: "I bave beard" many great preachers, and the effect they produced on me was that I felt thoroughly satis fied with fhein. Every time I beard yon I was dissatisfied with myself." GHASTLY INDIAN RELICS. ef Giant Baee en Saa. NIcelaa . Inland. After nearly-three weeks sojourn on the barren island of San Nicolas a party of relic hunters reached Long Beach, Cal., loaded with skeletons, skulls and ancient implements and ornaments of stone and shells, tho remains of Indian tribes which inhabited the now almost desert waste in bygone ages. There were 11 in the party which left Long Beach in the gasoline schooner San Clemente for San Nicolas island, which lies 65 miles off the coast from Santa Barbara. Four days were occupied in the journey to the island owing to the dense fogs, and after landing the party the schooner returned to Long Beach and the explorers were left to their work. The party found 87 skulls buried in the sand of the island, but were only able to secure three entire. They made one excavation 20 feet square in which they found niijs skeletons in a crouching attitude, as though men, women and children had been buried alive. In an other place they found the remains of hundreds of bodies that had been burned, and some of the party believe that cre mation was practiced by the ancient peo ple of the island. Positive evidence was found that the island was inhabited by two or more different races in the dim past, one of which was of great size, a peculiar char acteristic being gigantic jawbones. Some of the specimens of the latter brought by the party are almost large enough to slip over the head of an ordi nary man. Mr. Longfellow, one of the party, speaking of the trip, said: "One of the most interesting relics brought back by us was part of a skele ton of a large man in whose bones a long bone spear point was sticking. In the shattered skull was a big round stone used as a war implement. The spear passed near the heart and entirely through the shoulder blade. I am sure that two different races fought and died on the island, as most of the bodies were of moderate size while some were al most giants. The latter were always in isolated graves. We found many imple ments and weapons of stone, but all are very crude and show almost no era a mentation." San Francisco Chronicle. DROVE OUT THE TRAMPS. Citizens of Elllnirood, tKaru, Sid selves of a Pest. Thero- Exasperated at the audacity of a band of tramps that has been infesting Ellin wood, Kan., recently, tho citizens drove as many as 30 of the gentry out of town. A posse was formed, headed by the marshal, and arms were procured in the shape of clubs and blacksuake whips. The infested districts were then raided and the tramps, routed out from their retreats, were driven before the angry citizens like so many pests. They were escorted to the outskirts of town and there warned not to return. These effective measures on the part of the marshal and citizens were occa- sioned by a series of high handed dep redations boldly carried on by the tramps. When they first appeared, they Eaid they were harvest hands and want ed work, and they were gladly wel comed by the farmers. They agreed to work as low as $1 a day, and the farmers were delighted, but when they had partaken of their employers' re freshments they changed their minds about working at alL Growing bolder, the tramps then or ganized a harvest hands' union. In the election of officers none but tramps were chosen, and henest laborers who had in advertently joined the union found themselves unrecognized. The union decided that no one should work in the fields at less than $2.50 per day, and" for three days they effectually stopped all work on the crops. Any one offering to work at reasonable wages was frighten ed into joining the union by the tramps and made to keep out of sight of his employers. Kansas City Times. WAS UP TO THEIR GAME. He Got the Best of Chicago Confidence Robert Luster was prepared to meet Chicago conadeuco men when he ar rived at the Polk street station recently from his home in San Francisco. He met some before he got out of the sta tion, and when they invited him to take n drink he assented. The confi dence men took him to a saloon at Thirty-first and State streets. A dice game was introduced. Luster did not bet heavily enough to suit the confidence men, and tbey taunted him with hav ing little money. Luster showed a cham ois bag containing four $20 gold pieces. When he put this back in his pocket, a man entered who said he was a policeman and arrested Luster on a charge of gambling. He took him from the saloon and when a block away said to Luster: "Here, you seem to bo a good fellow, and I hate to lock you up. Just give me that chamois bag and I'll let you go." "I'll do it rather than be disgraced," said Luster, and he handed the alleged policeman a chamois bag. When Luster told Lieutenant O'Brien of the transaction,, he said, "I was pre pared for him, and I gave him a cham ois bag all right, but it had only four silver dollars in it" James Elwood, the bartender at the saloon, was locked up at the Cottage Grove avenue police station.

Scrofula Is a deep-seated blood disease which, all the mineral mixtures in the world cannot cure. S.S.S. (guaranteed pttrely vegetable') is a real blood remedy for blood diseases and has no equal. Mrs. Y. T. Buck, of Delaney, Ark., bad Scrofula for twenty-five years and most of the time was under the care of the doctors who could not relieve her. A specialist said he could cure her, but be filled her with arsenic and potash which almost ruined her constitution. She then took nearly every so-called blood medicine and drank them by the wholesale, but thev did not reach her trouble. Some one advised her to try S.S.S. and she verv soon found that she bad a real blood remedy at last. She says: "After tak ing one dozen battles of S.S.S- I am perfectly well, my skin is clear and healthy and I would not be in my former condition for two thousand dollars. Instead of drying up the poison in my system, like the potash and arsenic, S.S.S. drove the disease out through the skin, and I was perma nently rid of it." A Real Blood Remedy S.S.S. never fails to cure Scrofula, Eczema, Rheumatism Contagious Blood Poison, or any disorder of the blood.
