WHAT DOES IT MEAN ?
It means it is the purest made.
I Soaps , strong with alkali , will eat
\ And burn the clothes , and leave them frayed ,
But Ivory Soap is clean and sweet.
It washes out the stain and dirt ,
And leaves the fabric all unhurt.

Cure Yourself at Home. only remedies which the doctors ever give for
. blood poison.
The doctors are wholly unable to get rid of
this vile poison , and only attempt to heal up the outward appearance of the
disease the sores and eruptions. This they do by driving the poison into the
system , and endeavor to keep it shut in with their constant doses of potash
and mercury. The mouth and throat and other delicate parts then break out
into sores , and the fight is continued indefinitely , the drugs doing the system
more damage than the disease itself. '
Mr. H. L. Myers , 100 Mulberry St. , Newark , X. J. , says : 'I had spent a
hundred dollars with the doctors , when I realized that
they could do me no grood. I had large spots all over my
bcdy , and these soon broke out into running sores , and I
endured all the suffering which this vile disease pro
duces. I decided to try S. S. S. as a last resort , and was
soon greatly improved. I followed closely your 'Direc
tions for Self-Treatment , ' and the large splotches on my
chest began to grow paler and smaller , and before long
disappeared entirely. I was soon cured perfectly and my
skin has been as clear as glass ever since. I cured my
self at home , after the doctors had failed completely. "

poison out of the system and gets rid of it entirely. Hence it cures the

In the civil war our soldiers face (
privation and hunger A little story in
H. Clay Trunibull'a book , "War Mem
ories of a Chaplain , " tells of the spirit
in which they sometimes did it
While before Petersburg doing siege
work in the summer of 1864 , our men
had wormy hard tack served out to
them. It was a severe trial to the men.
Breaking open the biscuits and finding
live worms in them , they would throw
the pieces in the trenches , although the
orders were to keep the trenches clean
A brigade officer of the day , seeing
some of these scraps along cur front ,
called out sharply to our men :
"Throw that hard tack out of the
trenches. " Then , as the men promptly
gathered it up , he added , "Don't you
know that you've no business to throw
hard tack in the trenches ? "
Out from the injured soldier hea
there came the reasonable explanation ,
"We've thrown it out two or three
times , sir , but it crawls back. "
I'retty Lively Eating.
When one grows weary of the eternal
ices , blancmanges , charlottes and pud
dings served to us year in and year out
for dessert , it ia pleasant to hear of an
innovation. A traveled American re
marked that she once had the felicity
of sitting down to a Japanese dinner at
which were served such dainties as
melons , ices , fruits and sja frogs There
was in addition to these sweets a cov
ered dish , into which , at the beginning
of the dinner , a bottle of wine had been
poured.
When the sea frogs and other dainties
had been discussed , the cover of this
dish was removed , and a number of
sandhoppers , hilariously intoxicated and
jumping about in the wildest manner ,
were presented to the gaze of the aston
ished American guests The lively de&-
sert , so the fair traveler says , was
caught by the Japanese with little
bamboo sticks and eaten with great
gusto
Chinese Tortnrc.
The ingenuity of the Chinese in de
vising punishment for offenders sur
passes that of the most cruel people of
the middle ages. Some time ago a boy
was kidnaped from u village about 30
miles from Chin-Kiang and brought to
that city to be sold. The kidnapers
were arrested and returned to the vil
lage , where the people dug a hole in
the ground , like a grave , about three
feet deep , covered the bottom and sides
with unslaked lime , placed the offend
er , with his hands and feet tied upon
the lime and covered his body with the
same material. Then they filled the
hole full of water and as the lime
slacked he was roasted alive and his
body consumed.
The New Wny.
The cannibal chief stood with his
hand shading his eyes. A solitary figure
was timidly creeping toward him from
the jungle. Suddenly the old chief
started. He took a quick step forward.
"It is , " he cried , "it is my son I He is
coming home again I" Then with his
eyes still fixed on the slouching figure
he shrilly called to his head hunter

Folly nt the Phone.
One Weflt Madison street drnggisl
lost a customer through his fondness for
pets. He has a largo green parrot , ani
the cage is hung near the telephone ,
with the result thajt Polly has become
quite proficient in "telephone talk" ant

The other day a stylishly dressed
young lady came rustling into the Htore
and asked penni'-'io ! ) to use the phone.
The druggist pointed to the rear of the
store , and she started in that direction.
The store was rather dark , and when
she heard t-ouie one apparently talking
into the receiver she seated herself on a
chair to wait.

Wnnt d to See Thnt Foot.
On the principle that to some persona
even old stories are new , this one , of
the royal princelings of England , ia
given in Mr. G. W. E. Russell's recent
book , "Collections and Recollections : "
An English gentleman who had a de
formed foot was going to visit the
queen at Osborne , and before hia arrival
the queen and Prince Albert debated
whether it would be well to warn the
Prince of Wales aud the prince&s royal
of hia physical peculiarity , so as to
avoid their making embarrassing re
marks , or to leave it to their own good
feeling.
The latter course waa adopted. Lord
duly arrived. The foot elicited no
remark from the royal children , and the
visit passed off with success. Next day
the princess royal asked the queen-
" Where is Lord Y"
"He has gone back to London , dear. "
"Oh , what a pity I Ho had promised
to show Bertie and me his foot ! "
They had caught him in a quiet spot
and made their own terms with the
captive.
His Hnlf Wny Scheme.
Not long ago a Pittsburg lifo insur
ance agent persuaded a Chinaman to
take out a policy of § 3,000. The latter
had no clear idea of the transaction ,
but understood that on paying the
premiums promptly ho would be enti
tled to $3,000 some time. He began
bothering the agent for the money after
a couple of weeks had passed , and the
agent tried to explain to him that he
would have to die before he could get
it. The Chinaman fell down a cellar-
way and was badly hurt. His frienda
tried to attend to him without calling
in a doctor. When they did call one in
two days later , the doctor was angry.
"Why didn't yon call me sooner ? " he
asked. "Thia man ia half dead now. "
Next day the injured man's brother
waa at the insurance office with a claim
for § 2,500. "You're not entitled to
anything on this , " said the insurance
agent , "until the man ia dead. "
"Doctol say him half died , " an
swered the brother "Why he no glet
lathalf ? "
Good Horse Sense.
The Mexican burros ascertain where
to dig for water by closely observing
the surface of the ground. One ob
server writes :
"We had found water in an arroya
of a sufficient quantity to make cof
fee , whou we saw three burros search
ing for water. They passed several
damp places , cxainiuiug the ground
closely , when the loader halted near us
and began to paw a hole in the hot ,
dry sand , llavinj ? dug a hole some
thing over a foot iu depth , lie backed
out and watched it intently. To our
surprise it soon began Jo Oil with wa
ter. Then he advanced , took a drink
and stepped asjde for his companions
to drink.VIieu they went away , we
drank from their well and found the
water to be much cooler than any we
had found for many a day. There is
no witchcraft about Mexican burros ,
but they have good horse sense. "
A Strniife Test of 3Iniiliood.
The ancient Clan Macleocl used to
exercisa a strange test to prove theman-
iood of their chieftains. At Dunvegan
castle , on the island of Skye , there is
reserved the large horn known as
'Rory More'a Horn. " Thia capacioua
vessel holds rather more than a bottle
ind a half of liquor. According to the
Did custom , every laird of Macleod was
jbliged on his coining of age to fill this
jorn with claret and without once lay-
ng it down to drain it to the dregs ,
rbis was taken as a proof of his man-
jood , and he was then deemed a worthy
successor to the lairds of the past
Deceitful.
"Men are queer animals , " said the
lessimist. "They are all more or less

"Oh , I don't believe that I" replied
: he optimist "I think there are plenty
jf people who strive to be honest. I
; now I do , and I don't give myself
.redit for being any better than the
uajority of men. "
"Then why do you ask me how my
icalth is every time we meet and stand
iround and look bored if I tell you ? "
