They have headache, backache, and are restless and nervous. Food does not taste good, and the digestion is poor; the skin is dry and sallow and disfigured with pimples or eruptions; sleep brings no rest and work is a burden. What is the cause of all this? Inpare blood. And the remedy? REMARKABLE DOCS. .Lapp dogs are about the size of a Scotch terrier and look very much like the lynx, with long shaggy hair or va ried tints. They will fight off tna wolves from reindeer. The dogs of Lapland, Iceland and Greenland have a long hair, curled tails, pointed noses and ears and remarkably irritable tern pers. In Alaska the breed of dogs Is reddish-brown, and the animals are as much like wolves as dogs; they are vo racious and hardy and a team will draw 500 pounds. Forty frozen herring or one salmon will support a dog for a day They are not at all affectionate and such a thing as saving a man's life Is unheard of among them. Labrador has dogs so fierce that ft log of wood is tied to their necks to render them less dangerous to men and weak er dogs. In Kamchatka the dogs are severely trained to haul heavy loads across the ice and their tempers get soured, consequently they are surly brutes and their drivers manage them by stunning them with blows over the head, which Is not very good for their Intellects. There is a powerful breed of dogs along Smith's sound that does not hes itate to attack the most ferocious wild animals. These dogs hunt in pairs and a big bear Is a joke to them. One dog can bring down a reindeer and kill it in a few minutes. Their thick coat is tawny in hue and in winter a thick fleece of wool covers them. They look so much like wolves it is hard to tell what they are at a little distance. GOOD SUGGESTIONS. Try cranberries for malaria. Try a sun bath for rheumatism. Try hot flannel over the seat of neu ralgic pain., and renew frequently. Try buttermilk for the removal of freckles, tan and butternut stains. Try hard elder a winegiassful three times a day for ague and rheumatism. Try taking cod liver oil In tomato catsup if you want to make it palata ble. Try a silk handkerchief over the face when obliged to go against a piercing wind. Try a cloth wrung out of cold water, put about the neck at night, tor a sore throat. Try walking with your hands behind you if you find yourself becoming bent forward. Try breathing the fumes of turpen tine or carbolic acid tc relieve whoop ing cough. RECENT INVENTIONS. A westerner has designed a wagon which will improve the roada instead of cutting them np as It passes along, the front pair of wheels running on a wider track than the rear ones and all four Wheels having broad, flat tires. Lamp-burners are prevented from falling toff from the lamp whear un screwed for filling by means of an im proved top, a slot being formed all the way around for the entrance of the button on the end of the wick raiser as the burner is tipped over. A hew safety bottle which will pre vent fraudulent refilling has a sealing rod of glass with one end bent to cov er the stepper after It is in place, the other end extending into a well at the side of the bottle, which is filled with cement to prevent removal of the rod. A New Yorker has designed a com bined wagon, sleigh and boat, which has the body formed of a water-tight box, with axles underneath for the attachment of wheels, a pair of run ners being hung below the axles to rest on the ground when the Wheels are re moved. An Englishman has Invented a range-Bhder for battleships, consisting of a graduated glass to be inserted in a telescope, a horizontal line at the top Of the glass being adjusted to the horizon, when the graduations on the level with the boat sighted will indi cate its distance. An improved horseshoe has a con tinuous channel formed in the under surface of the tread, in which a num ber of curved plate3 are iuserted hav ing projections arranged radially around the center of the shoe to act as calks when the ground is slippery, the plates being replaced by smooth ones In summer.

When the American line had fought its way to the top of the hills at Kl Paso and San Juan and Caney, General Wheeler issued an order that every command should dig trenches in prep aration for the conflict that he knew would break out again in the morn ing. But the soldiers had thrown away most of their trenching tool during the fierce rifle charges, and 33 darkness fell upon the scene of battle they threw themselves upon the ground and went to sleep from sheer exhaustion. Adju tant Hood of the Rough Riders, noting this condition of affairs-, rode over to Gen. Wheeler's tent and Informed the good old veteran that the men were played out. Wheeler at the time was lying upon his cot more dead than alive, but there was a smile upon his lips, and his never-failing good humor twinkling in his eyes, when Adjutant Hood said: "General, I am afraid our men can't dig the trenches." "What -men?" asked the general. "The cavalry division," said the ad jutant. Gen. Wheeler sat up in bed and be gan pulling on his boots. "Send me tne man," he directed. "What man?" asked the adjutant "The man who can't dig the trench es." ' "But it is not one mad; it is many men. They are Just played out." "But you can surely find one man who says he can't dig the trench. 1 only want one. Go get him and bring him to me.'" "But there are" "I don't care how many there are, go get me one." The adjutant had never faced such a man as Wheeler before, and he did not know Just what to make of the cdn versation. The little old general was as smooth and ruave and courteous as could be, and Hcod had nothing to do but ride back to the line; In sbme way he managed to round up a colored trooper belonging to the Ninth caval ry, and brought him back to the divi sion headquarters. He stood looking sheepishly at the ground, when Wheel er addressed him. - " "Are you the man who says he can't dig these trenches?" asked the gen eral. The negro's feet shuffled Uneasily on the ground. "1'se one of 'em, boss, but there's a" The general stopped him and walked out of his tent "Yon can go to sleep now, my man, and I'll go and dig your trench for you. When the sun comes up tomorrow morning the Spaniards are going to open on us, and eveiy man who isn't protected is not only in danger of being killed, but will be unable to help us maintain our own position. The trenches have to be dug. and if you are unable to dig youis, I'll just go and dig yours for ycu. Where's your pick?" With the most businesslike air In the world Wheeler slid intn his mat and turned toward the big cavalryman. The latter's eyes opened as he saw the pro ceeding, and they began to bulge out when the general motioned him to lead the way to his camp. For a minute his voice stuck in his throat, and then he said: "Boss, you ain't fit to dig no trench es. If they done got to be dug, I'll just naturally do it myself. I'm' dog tired, but that ain't no work for you." Wheeler stopped and looked at the man with a flicker of amusement in his cyc3. "I know It isn't work for me to do," he said, "but I am going to need sol diers in the morning, and I am going to save your life, if possible. Do you think now that 5'ou can dig the trench?" The negro started up the hill without a word. Then the general turned to Adjutant Wood with a voice as pleas ant as sunshine in May. "He seems to have changed his mind." he said. "Now, you go find me another man who can't dig the U ach es." The adjutant bowed and rode off. He never came back. In the morning the trenches were dug.

"Another circumstance which nro- 'duces, the disease among army horses is. the fact that a great majority of them have been separated from a mate, with whom they have been accustomed to work for years. The moment they realize their partner Is missing, they go Into the most abject mourning and refuse to be reconciled.

When the shell got jammed in the gun. and after Corporal Gray and the gun ncr'sjnate, Smith, had gone out on the gun and failed, I had just come from where young Ellis was killed and told the captain of Ellia's death. The gun crew were starting to dis mount the gun. i asked the captain tb permit me to have a try at clearing it. He said It was no use; that the gun was disabled and that it would take an hour's time to dismdunt the gUn and feject the, shell. Filially I got Captain Murphy's permission. I pushed myself through the gdn port and reached the Jacob's-laddef and climbed outside. The eight-Inch tutrfet guns were fired Just at the time and the shock nearly threw me over board. I was handed a rammer and 1 found that It would not enter the bore. I then asked them to pass me a slx pouhder rammer, which was handed me. I again got td work and reached for the bore.

Once a tribe of some importance, only about twelve individuals now survive, and they are perpetual fugitives hunted like wild beasts, in fact, and possessing no per manent home. It has long been a practice among the coast Indians of Alaska, when a chief died, to go and kill a few of the Tsutsowt as the peo ple who talk like birds are called the object being that the chief might have servants to wait on him while on his way to the aboriginal Paradise. In the course of time the pursuit of this old custom greatly reduced the num ber of the Tsutsowt, and the latter, during the last fifty years, being too few to fight, have been kept continu- ' ally on the run.

"And those volunteers," remarked the'iuan to a reporter of the New York Press, "are not the only warriors that pine away and die from home-sickness. Horses are more susceptible to the dis ease than men that is, they were so In the civil war; and I don't see any reason to suppose that their tempera ments have changed since. "Of course, when a poor, four-legged brute, with no shoulder Strang, comes down with it, the doctors simply report that such and such horses in such and such a troop are 'off their feed, and let it go at that. But it is precisely the same thing, the disorder develops In precisely tbe same manner and the equine victims of It manifest Identi cally the same symptoms, and, what is more, the chances of their dying from It are Infinitely greater than are those of a soldier, simply because it is Im possible to bolster up their courage by telling them they are going homctsoon. That is the only medicine that will keep the disease In check, and. ot course, you can't administer it to a horse unless you speak Its language. "Loss of' appetite is the first-symptom. Horses that at home were tne mostly hearty feeders become dainty and particular, and refuse to look at anything offered to them.

The plague of locusts in the west and northwest has become so serious that the most strenuous efforts are to be made to devise some means by which they may be destroyed. One experiment is identical with that em ployed for destroying chinch bugs. A number of insects are inoculated with a fungous disease and turned loose among the locusts in various localities. The result is that the disease spreads rapidly and sweeps off entire colonies of the insects. This means of ridding the country of a pest is a great discov ery, but it entails possibilities that are by no means agreeable t intern plate. The sparrow was impo?d to destroy caterpillars, and now it has be come necessary in some localities to take the most thorough measures to get rid of the sparrows. As far as the locusts are concerned nothing could be worse than their devastation, and we may well take the chances of clear ing them out by the help of imported fungus. with her etomacb, and was all bloated up until she weighed 174 pounds, but after she took "S DatOF-" her weight came down to 146 pounds her normal weight and she is all right again.
