a common experience to have Dr. Ayer's
Sarsaparilla prescribed by a physician.
It is a common experience to see a " com
plete cure" follow the use of a few bottles
of this great blood purifying medicine.
Because, it is a specific for all forms of
blood disease. If a disease has its origin
in bad or impure Mood, Dr. Ayer's Sars
aparila, acting directly on the blood, re
moving its impurities and giving to it
vitalizing energy, will promptly eradicate
the disease.
The great feature of Dr. Ayer's Sarsapa
rilla is the radical cures that result from
its use. Many medicines only suppress
disease :thev push the pimples down
under the skin, they paint the complexion
with subtle arsenical compounds, but the
disease rages in the veins lite a pent-up
fire, and some day breaks out in a vol
car.:; eruption that eats up the body.
Ayer's Sarsaparilla goes to the root. It
makes the fountain clean and the waters
are clean. It makes the root good and
the fruit is good. It gives Nature the
elements she needs to build up the broken
dotrn constitution not to brace it up with
stimulants or patch it up on the surface.

One SeMler Dead.-
A fair young- mother calmly read
.While one hand rocked the cradle bed.
Wherein her first born slept away
The twilhjht of a summer day.
She .carelessly the paper turned
TIM "Latest War News" "ahe discerned.
"Our loss was small." the dispatches
said
"A .skirmish and one soldier dead."
They troubled not to give his name
Or e'en the troop from which he came; .
For who, rejoicing; In success.
Cares if-there be one private less?
Only a soldier lying; there.
With blood upon his sunny hair.
With no kind friend to raise bis head
Or treasure the last words be said.
O, happy mother, do you know
That not so many years ago
That soldier was -a baby, too.
With face as sweet and eyes as blue
As those within yon cradlecthere:
And knew a mother's tender care.
Who now must sit alone and weep
Because be wakes not. from his sleep?
And other thousands also 'said
"Only a private soldier dead,"
Without a passing thought that be
Ulght one of nature's nobles be.
Or that the words that line contained
Would wreck a life that yet remained.
His mother waits for him in vain.
For he. her only child, is slain.

From the Detroit Free Press: When
a retired army officer opens right up
and says what he thinks of the govern
ment in any of its relations or actions,
it may be put down that he is in deadly
earnest; for his whole training has
been to silence or the most discreet ut
terances. This fact adds force to the
language recently used by one of these
gentlemen in Detroit
"I want this country to know one
thing," he said, indignantly, "and I'd
like to see an explanation demanded
from the war authorities. Everybody
knows the famous old Seventh Cav
alry, the regiment of Custer and of
Forsyth, of Little Big Horn and
Wounded Knee. There is a body of
the toughest, hardiest troops in exis
tence. They have done more hard ser
vice in the field and had more mem
bers killed since the civil war, than
has all the rest of the regular army
put together. That sounds like an ex
aggerated statement, but it is absolute
ly true and verified in the records.
"Do you know where the Seventh is
in this time of the war when they
could do more to hunt down and exter
minate the skulking Spaniards in Cuba
than could any other like organization
in the service of the nation, who know
most about their style of fighting and
how to meet it? They are scattered
through the southwest in little army
garrisons of one and two companies,
keeping their eyes on the Indians to
see that they behave themselves on is
sue day and the brief period of exuber
ance that follows. They faithfully
carry out the daily routine of military
life, go through the usual evolutions
on the sun-baked parade grounds every
day, mount guard and attend with
prompt precision to every other duty.
Not a man among them utters a com
plaint, but their bronzed faces bear
the marks of disappointment as they
read and discuss the war news which
reaches them through belated newspa
pers. Every soldier knows how they
feel, how their blood warms and their
nerves tingle. Tet they, the tried and
seasoned fighters of the army, the
men who have followed the most dar
ing leaders, are out there doing police
duty while raw recruits are sent to the
front to combat a foe that employs the
same tactics with which the Seventh
Is so familiar and has so successfully
met.
"My own opinion Is, and it is shared
by other disinterested military men of
the country, that the Seventh has taken
up too much space in the army history
of the country for the last thirty years,
that there are certain men and cliques
of influence that are jealous of its
record, and that it is being ruthlessly
suppressed. More than once its dash
ing officers have been brought upon the
carpet after some brilliant victory over
the Utes, Apaches or Sioux, only to be
exonerated and complimented from the
war department. There is some un
worthy animus behind such harass
ment of brave men, and I believe that
it is still operative against the Sev
enth. Public sentiment should be
aroused, at least to the extent of de
manding an explanation. It would have
been just as foolish and inexcusable
during the civil war to have placed the
worthy followers of such men as Cus
ter and Sheridan on post duty in some
peaceable section of the country."
Not a "Hoodoo."
Among the unworthy superstitions
of the sea is one to the effect that if, at
the launching of a ship, a bottle of
water instead of a bottle of wine is
broken over her bows at the ceremony
of naming, this will make her unlucky
herself, and capable of bringing ill luck
to other ships with which she is as
sociated. To use the current expres
sion of the mariners, the vessel will be
"hoodooed." Such a superstition seems
incredible, yet it was actually urged as
a reason why the battleship Kentucky,
which was recently launched, should be1
named with wine. The 'governor of
Kentucky, to whom the ceremony was
committed, properly insisted on the use
of water, and hisr daughter broke over
the vessel's bow a flask of the purest
water, brought from a spring on the
farm on which President Lincoln was
born.
A gentleman who was lately a naval
officer furnishes the Union Signal with
facts which show that not only is there
no reason to entertain this notion, but
that experience may even be said to
point in the opposite direction.
He calls attention -to the fact tbat
one of the "luckiest" of American ships
doubtless luck because, as a rule,
she was navigated with skill was the
Constitution, or "Old Ironaides." which
was launched in 1797, and has just cele
brated her centennial anniversary
afloat. The Constitution was "chris
tened" with water taken from a. spring
on Copp's Hill, in Boston, and another
bottle, of salt water, was broken over
her figurehead as she left the ways.
Xext to the Constitution, the most
brilliant record of any United States
stlp now afloat is probably that of
the Hartford, .which was built at the
Charlestown navy-yard, and launched
November 22. 1858. She was the flag
ship of Farrapit. and in the battles be
low New Orleans was hit over one
hundred and forty times by .shot and
shell from the confederate works. Not
withstanding, she was In good trim for
the great Battle of "Mobile" Bay, where
Farragut was lashed to her mast.
The Hartford never had an accident,
and Is called by the sailors the "luck
iest ship that floats." She was named
by a young lady, who broke over her
a bottle of water from the Coanectlcat
river, near Hartford, aad Admiral
Preble, thea a Ilavteaast, broke a bot
tle of salt water aver her hows.

all of which had wise spilled apoa their
bows at their launching, aad all of
which have been deemed especially
"unlucky." Among them ware the
President, blowa up oa the Potomac
river; the Maine, destroyed by a mine
la Havana harbor, and the Texas, a
new ahlp, which has already had to
many, accidents tha't she Is kaowa to
the sailors as the "hoodoo. .
. The Constitution and the Hartford
would have been just as fortunate, 'and
the others just as unfortunate. It the
ancient custom. of breaking a bottle of
liquid at their launching had been
omitted altogether. 'And. we might,
with some reason, adopt the ceremony
which is employed by the Japanese,
and which consists In the liberating of
three white doves at the vessel's bows
.as she Jeaves the ways. With the Jap
anese, as with us, the white dove Is the
emblem of peace; and this pretty cere
mony Is a poetic expression of the hope
that the vessel may never have to bt
used In war.
The Chlacee Kavy. .
There can be no sort of. doubt;, as
Lord Salisbury intimated In his reply
last night to Lord Connemara, that
China Is capable of becoming a strong
naval power. It Is equally beyond
question that she cannot become such
without external guidance' and help.
The emperor's government has recog
nized the condition, and-Is willing to
accept the needed guidance and help
at our hands. Negotiations on the sab-'
ject are going on, and the prime minis
ter Is hopeful o'f their Issue. But he
could not forget the difficulties that
have to be surmounted.
' The question is, whether the emperor
and his immediate advisers are strong
enough to overcome the tremendous
opposition which will be forthcoming
to any serious effort to place the navy
under effective English control. In
any event, Lord Salisbury is right in
declining the task unless the officer
who may be selected for it is allowed
a perfectly free hand. We shall only
be preparing disappointment for China
and for ourselves if we permit the
work of naval reorganization to be un
dertaken by any 'Englishman whose
action is liable to be overruled, as Cspt.
Long's was. No doubt, as Lord Salis
bury says, we must make the difficult
duty of the Peking government as
easy as it can be made, but whatever
concession we may make in form, care
must be taken that there is none In
substance.
The reconstructor of the Chinese
navy must be a despot, or he will be
nothing, and worse than nothing.
Granted that proviso, however an of
ficer as powerful because as free as Sir
Robert Hart has been In the control of
the maritime customs the task, her
culean as it is, can be achieved. The
raw material for a sufficient and effi
cient navy Is abundant. Chinese sail
ore are intelligent, obedient to orders
and brave almost to a fault. They
proved their gallantry even In the mis
erable war with Japan, particularly at
the battle of Valu, when they actually
fought with each other at the powder
hoists for the ammunition which was
running out Nothing is wanted but
honest and able administration and
command. London Globe.
Jeatlee to the Eaeary.
In this time of national exulting, let
ns not fail to do justice to the stubborn
courage of the enemy. Fighting and
downing a coward is poor business at
best There's small satisfaction in it
and no glory at all. We are not in
any enterprise of that sort at present
Whatever else they may be, the
Spanish officers and men are not cow
ardly. Whatever other qualities that
go to the planning and winning of a
fight they may lack, they are not lack
ing in the primitive quality of cour
age. Santiago de Cuba has demon
strated that anew. They have lived
up to the character given them by his
tory as stubborn fighters behind en
trenchments, and they have done more.
They have shown themselves, in at
least one instance, fierce and persistent
in attack. If an equal force of ill-fed
Amerieans, so formidably beset, with
so little hope of ultimate victory or
escape, had fought as obstinately we'd
have been proud of them.

Electric Discharges of Fishes.
Some interesting facts have recently
been compiled with reference to fishes
which have the power of generating
electric discharges. Of the fifty spe
cies of fishes possessing organs capable
of giving electric discbarges, three
have a particular interest These are
the torpedo fish, which is found in the
Bay of Biscay, and belongs to the
skate family; the electric eel of the
Orinoco, and the thunder fish, found
in the Nile and other African water.
The charge is developed by some chem
ical process occurring in the plate in
which the electric nerve filaments end,
and in some instances the discharge is
from the head to the tail, while in the
'case of other fishes the reverse is true.
In 'a full-sized electric eel or gym
notus, the voltage is probably from
300 to 800 volts, and 'Is easKy capable
of stunning a man. The momentary
currents are sufficient to deflect a gal
vanometer or magnetize. a needle. It
is to be noted that the . generation
and intensity of the discharge are un
der the control, of the animal, which
ia apparently in ho way affected by
the action. Also; there are no insulat
ing materials in the fish, snd the great
est economy is shown in the genera
tion of the electrical energy.

"Dun colored horses are not the pret
tiest by any means, but my experience
has been," said Col. William F. Cody,
when In Washington recently, "that
they 'are the toughest of the horse
kingdom. An ordinary dun horse will
wear out three" other horses. Put ss
much work on him as you stay, be
never looks as well or as tidy in ap
pearance as a bay, a chestnut, 'black,
-ray or white, but as far as service
is concerned he will run the others to
a standstill. This Is my experience on
the plains, in the cavalry service, and
is my experience in the show business,
where I have nearly 500 horses.
"Dun horses are somewhat rare, but
when they can be picked up. I would'
advise that they be bought, especially
when the question of wesr aad tear is
considered. They are, as I said before,
not strong as far as looks are lavolved,
but for cavalrymen looks have to take
a back 'seat alongside of wear.. The
cavalrymen who are soon. I hope, to
ride over Cuba, will find that sty In
dorsement of dun horses Is of some

A MBwcriber wants mt to tell him
how to use dynamite to get out stamps.
sad stones, and wants to know hov
dangerous Is its use. writes J.-S. Wood
ward la Practical Farmer. I don't
know of any better way In fact, not
one so good, easy and cheap to rid a
eld of stumps or stones as the use oi
dynamite. It costs from 10 to 1 cent
per aound-by the box, 'and It should-b
got In sticks of Inch in diameter,
weighing; about 12 ozs: each. He may
e only a part of a stick, or two or
more.-as needed, by the size of stump
3r stones, but which can only be told
by a little practice on the particular
lot . It is not as dangerous as com
mon black powder, -as It will not ex
plode by contact with fire, and can
only be set off by capsor exploders
made for the purpose. In purchasing
be should' be sure to see that it has
00 free nitro-glycerine; in other words,
that any of the sticks are not leak
ing, for this is the explosive principle,,
and when it shows free it is very dan
gerous, as a sudden stamp of the foot
might explode lt What th'e effect of
the dynamite will be on any particular
lot of stones, or stumps no one can
tell. It will be necessary to do a 'little
experimenting, and only use just
enough when blasting stumps, as tho
larger the charge the more it will bo
torn.
When one is thrown ont entire, if too
large to be easily .handled. It can be
easily split by boring a hole into it' on
the side he desires it to split and in-:'
setting from a. quarter to a full stick.
To use the dynamite on stumps, dig
down on one side so a hole can be
,made with an Iron bar under the mala
part, close to the tap root if it 'has
one, and close up so the dynamite' will
be in close contact with the stump.
Take a stick of dynamite and undo one
end. with a lead pencil or small round
stick make a hole down In the dyna
mite an inch or more deep. Now take
a piece of' fuse of suitable length so
you can get to a safe distance while'
burning; slip a cap or exploder onto
the fresh cut end of the fuse far
enough so that the powder in cut end
shall rest. on the fulminth at the bot
tom and crimp the sides down on the
fuse so as to hold It firm, then push
the cap down into the hole made in
dynamite and pack it firmly about the
fuse and replace the paper and it is
well to tie it with a string. To make
everything sure smear all about the
end and over the fuse with the wagon
grease or tallow, so as to make it wa
ter tight I recommend this because
it Is better to use water in the hole
when blasting with dynamite, it will
give so much better execution.
Tou can use any portion of a "stick"
or any number of them as necessary
and when more than one is used be
sure to have them in contact and one
cap will set them all off. The same
directions will apply for blasting
stones. Get the. charges under the
stone, or as near so as possible, and
in. all cases with stumps or stones be
sure that the dynamite is In close con
tact with the thing to be moved. Pack
it up then with sticks, stones or dirt,
anything, and when all Is completed,
pour In enough water to fill the space
or hole, but of course the fuse must be
water-proof or coated with grease and
the end be kept out of the water; when
ill Is ready fire the fuse and "git-" go.
to a safe distance and see the stump
get out as quickly and easily as the
smallest. I have seen them cavorting
over the tops of the highest trees like
a flying Dutchman. It's just fun.
How to Make Poor nutter.
Mrs. E. R. Wood tells, In the Jersey
Bulletin; what she would do to
make poor butter. The lady says:
"J am not aware that I ever
made any poor butter, and for
nearly a score of years butter, from
my hands, has brought 25 cents, or
more, a pound the year round, which
is, I think, evidence cf its merit. How
ever, were I to set out to make poor
butter, the first thing I should do would
be to let the milk (if set in pans) stand
until it was covered with white spots,
and the next would be to allow the
cream to remain until it was a mass
of fermentation before churning. Then.,
if the thermometer showed about 70
degrees, when inserted in the cream,
and the churn smelled decidedly
cheesy, I should know I was on the
right track. When the butter had
"come" in a soft, "squashy" mass I
would take it out of the churn and
make a feint at washing It with cold
water, salt it, and after only half get
ting out the buttermilk, pack It away.
There would be streaks and mottles
caused by Insufficiently Incorporating
the salt, the remaining buttermilk
would soon become rancid (for what
more quickly gets to smell "old" than
buttermilk?), the mold spores in the
cream, in other words the bacteria,
would begin to get In their work, and
I would have poor butter in a very
short time."
Death from Anthrax. Anthrax re
cently broke out among some cows on
a small holding at Cramington, a few
miles north of Newcastle, and has, un
fortunately, Involved the loss of a hu
man life. It appears that a few days
ago a cow died and a butcher was call
ed in to dress the carcass, which was
sent to Newcastle. At that place it
was seized as unfit for human food.
The butcher shortly afterwards visited
Newcastle Royal Infirmary with a bad
hand. He refused to stay at the insti
tution, as suggested by the . medical
staff, but on Saturday last he returned
in a worse condition and consented to
become an indoor patient. He died,
however, within a few hours after
wards, and the cause of death was cer
tified to have been anthrax. Altogeth
er, three cows have died at the farm
referred to. Mark Lane Express (Eng.)
Manure for Compact Soil. If the
soil Is too stiff and compact, the ma

mechanical effect In making the soil
more open ss well as the chemical ef

the manure, worked by cultivation intc
the soil, will have a tendency to loosen
it. If the soil is very porous and needs
compressing rather than opening, only
well rotted manure, which in mixing
with the soil will make it more com
pact, should be used. In the loose soil
that has not a clay subsoil much of
the valuable part of the manure may be

AIDED BY MRS. PINEHAM.
Mrs. W. R, Paxto, YonrtgowTa
North Dakota, writes about her strag
gle to regain health after the 'birth of
aer little girl:
44 Dear Mrs. Piskham: It is with
pleasure that L add my testimony to
your list, hoping that it may; induce
others to avail themselves of your val
uable aaedicide.
44 After the birth of my little, girl,
three years ago, my health was very
poor. I Had leucorrhoea badly, and a
terriblo bearing-down pain which
gradually grew worse, until I could do
no work. Also had headache nearly
all the time, and dizzy feelings. Men
struations were very profuse, appear
ing every two weeks.
44 1 took medicine from a good doctor,
but it seemed to do no good. I 'was
becoming alarmed over my condition,
when I read your advertisement in a
paper. I sent at once for a bottle of
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound, and after taking two-thirds of
the bottle I felt so much better that I
send for two more. After using three
bottles I'felt as strong and well as any
one.
44 1 "think it is the best medicine for
female weakness ever advertised, and,
recommend it to every lady I meet suf
fering from this trouble.
Maternity is a wonderful experience
and many women approach it wholly
unprepared. Childbirth under right
conditions treed not terrify women.
The advice of Mrs. Pinkham is freely
offered to all expectant mothers, and
her advice is beyond question the most
valuable to be obtained. If Mrs. Pax
ton had written to Mrs. Pinkham be
fore confinement she would have been
saved much suffering. Mrs. Pinkham's
address is Lynn, Moss.
