K?F3*5 a THE BLOOD. The blood is life. We derlr# from / tile blood life, power, beauty and rea­ son, aa the doctors have been saying from time Immemorial. A healthy body, a fresh appearance, and gener­ ally all the abilities we possess de­ pend on that source of life. It la therefore the duty of every sensible man to keep the blood as pure and normal as possible. Nature, in its Infinite wisdom, has given us a ther­ mometer indicating the state of the blood, which appeals to our reason by giving notice of its impurity. Small eruptions of the skin, to which we scarcely pay any attention, headache, ringing noises in the ears, lassitude, sleeplessness, are generally a sign that the blood is not in its normal state, but is filled with noxious sub stances. These symptoms deserve our full attention. If more attention were paid to those symptoms, and steps taken to remove them, then many Illnesses from which we suffer . would become unknown and the hu­ man body would become stronger and healthier. Attention therefore should bo paid to those warning signs, and the blood can be purified and poison­ ous substances removed from it by the use of Dr. August Koenig's Hamburg Drops, discovered more than 60 years •so. Stupidity of British Officials, ••jiJBlxty-eight years ago lire destroyed tni historic old building of the British house of commons. For centuries the public accounts bad been kept on certain splints of elmwood, called I "tallies." About 1826 it came to the ears of the exchequer that there were more modern ways of keeping ac­ counts and the tallies were discarded, •s Dickens said in a speech once: "In 1834 it was found that there was a considerable accumulation of them and the question arose what was to be done with them. It would natur­ ally occur to any Intelligent person that nothing could be easier than to allow the sticks to be carried away for firewood by the miserable people who live in that neighborhood. How­ ever, they never had been useful and official routine required that they never should be. It came to pass that v they were burned In a stove in the house of lords. The stove, over- gorged with these preposterous sticks set fire to the paneling, the pan­ eling set fire to the house of lords, the house of lords set fire to the house of commons, and the two houses wera reduced to ashes." JT . Emerson's Optimism. The contrast offered by the sunny, cheerful Sage of Concord to bis gloomy, dyspeptie friend, the Sage of Chelsea, is brought into striking re­ lief by the revival of an anecdote of Charles Kingsley's, says Success. Carlyle, it seems, had been bored by Emerson's persistent optimism, and undertook to cure him of it. "I took him," he said, "to the lowest parts of London, and showed him all that was going on there. This done, 1 turned to him, saying: 'And noo, mon, d'ye believe in the deevil noo?' P *Oh, no,' replied Emerson, 'all these people seem to me only parts of the treat machine, and, on the whole, I think they are doing their work sat­ isfactorily.' "Then," continued Car­ lyle, "I took him doon to the house > of commons, where they put us under j the gallery. There I showed him Xane chiel getting up after anither and ' leeing and leeing. Then I turned to him and said: 'And noo, mon, d'ye balieve in the deevil noo?' He made me, however, just the same answer as before, and then 1 gave him up in dospalr." A Good Place. The youthful offspring of a promi­ nent young lawyer who has a suite of offices in the Lord's Court building, at Exchange place and William street, was called into the parlor the other day to be "showed off" to an admiring visitor as the "brightest ever." The conversation naturally drifted to his father, and the visitor asked the child: "Do you know where your father's • offices are?" # * "Oh, yeth," said the youngster; 'they're in heaven."--New York Times.

V •••••••MeaattttMetMMMeMSMSMSSMsaMtasascsMM e : Philosophical e > __ Observations f ~ *' By BYRON WILLIAMS. An association of physicians out in Iowa has declared against kissing, la other words the members have joined forces with the railroad magnates who are seeking to suppress osculation in depots. "Klse Till the It is now the allied forces of the doctors and the Cows railroaders against the world. Sentiment is fast Come Home." crystallizing and you must soon line up for or against an ecstacy as old as Adam and Eve. About the qua- torn cling all the love, sentiment and soul soughing oi an affectionate race. Despite this, the doctors say we must desist or shorten our lives. They seem to have overlooked the true measurement of life. Does not Browning tell us we count time by heart throbs, not in figures on a dial? Who has not felt his or her heart go pit-a-pat at the amorous touch of a lip that was kissed? And in so doing, if the poet's philosophy be correct, we have prolonged our life rather than shortened it. The young man who has been spending his summer salary in nursing a growing right to sip the honey from the honeysuckle's chalice, will never give up being electrified for the mere matter of a few bacilli! Never, not if he has to live so fast in heart throbs that he gets a hot-box in his interior anatomy. And the young lady! Is she afraid of the cars? Not if she loves her Charlie--»ot with all the saw-bones in the country waving red flags and lan­ terns In the middle of the right of way. She had rather "feel the Hps which press love's glowing seal" and die, than live unklssed to become as old as Methuselah! This is a subject of such vital interest as to pronounce the antagonists' bravery, but even brave men are occasionally in error. On the other side Is arrayed a determined army of "bussers" who have decided tc return either with or upon their shields--still kissing. In case they are dead, of course, the kissing would be very still--but anyhow, they are firmly resolved to take Beaumont and Fletcher's advice and "kiss till the cows come home." The enemy should beware! "Everything is fair in love or war," is an old saw. Here we have both love and war. We pause to contemplate to what righteous extremes the apostles of the kiss may not go in the protection of their rights to drink the nectar of the gods! Religious wars have been terrible but when it comes to the sanguinary effort to tear lips from lips that have wedded the very souls of man and woman--look out for the fireworks! Who would not have his worries kissed away after a weary day of wres­ tling with business Gollaths! v "Come, lay thy head upon my breast. And I will kiss thee into rest" sad who would not fight for this phase of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness? Who would not kisp away the tears of those we love! Happier far the man who truly lives, and by hie kissing speaks to kindred heart of love! In the chamber of death angels hover, waiting while the lips of the living cling to the lips of the dying! The grief of holiest sorrow finds some comfort there! Speak not of contagion! Life Itself is not so dear as that long, linger­ ing, last caress! If Byron wrote truly, the dearest remembrances of life is the first kiss of lore: "Our sweetest memorial, the first kiss of love!" The doctors and the railroad presidents would rob us even of this! Cruel wretches, have they no past! Have they never been kissed or kissed anybody! Even philosophical, staid, old Ben Jonson knew a good thing when he sipped it He says: "Or leave a kiss but In the cup, And I'll not look for wine." Shakespeare iiys we have kissed away kingdoms and provinces, Tenny­ son, in "Locksley Hall," gives kissing a pretty illustration: "And our spirits rushed together at the touching of the Hps." Benjamin West said a kiss from his mother made him a painter! Thus we realize that the associations of osculation have ever been ardent, always demonstrative and generally holy! The anti-kissers may seriously embarrass some sighing young swain whose sweetheart has been "almost persuaded," but not quite, yet, further than this, they are helpless! We were kissed when we were babies, not only on the face and lips, but on the feet As children we were kiBsed and kissed each other, as sweethearts we got together somehow when the moon was under a cloud or both had our eyes shut at the bridal altar we have kissed our troth anew. In sunshine and sorrow, over the cradle and the grave have our . lips met In communion, and doctors or no doctors, we are going to keep up the good work as long as there is anyone left who doesn't dodge! PROFITS OF FISH DEALERS. Ours is a race of imitators. When Cain In the deep grass discovered a funny bug and handled It Abel had to do likewise. If there had been another pair of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, and The" Imitator Eve Number Two had seen Eve Number One tempt and the Adam Number One, she would have turned s back Originator. somersault quicker than scat, to find Adam Number Two and tempt him. And Adam Number Two seeing Adam Number One tempted, would have lain awake nights but that he, too, would have been tempted. From the crudest time to the later days, men have imitated the faults and successes of others. The small boy who sees the neigh­ bor's boy smoking "grapevine smokewood" and burning all the coating oft his tongue, will haunt the river shore for hours looking for the smoking mate­ rial. The same boy grown to man's estate will toil with might and brain* dilating every nerve, straining with tension his muscle, to follow in the foot­ steps of some more forward brother. Moses was the first journalist, and ever since then men and sawbucks have been imitating him and faring variously-- so to speak. The prince of fashion starts a new style and the cholly boys are his prototypes as soon as the "little tailors" can cut and sew the cloth. Some time ago, we are told in Bifrlical history, there was an Elijah. In these later days along comes a man named Alexander Dowle and proclaims himself Elijah's incarnation, a second edition. The Dowie-EUJah business is so good another imitator has arisen to file his claim for notoriety. This man's name Is John Hoppe of Albany, Minn., and he claims to be John the Baptist IL The world is full of imitators. There are too many imitators and not enough originators. If there were fewer of the former and more of the latter, there would not be such a plethora of conditions In the general lines of trade. Men fashion after each other too much. Suppose our great men, the men who have Invented the steamship, the telegraph, the telephone, the wireless toto graph, the airship, built the Brooklyn bridge and fashioned automobiles of progress, had been mere imitators, we would be a set of plodders still. It Is the men who do not imitate but who branch out into heretofore unknown and unforeseen lines, who make this old globe-mare trot. Quit imitating and work awhile on perpetual motion. You won't invent an impossibility, but it will be good. Independent practice. Commonality and Progressiveness. He was a wise old philosopher who said, "It takes all kinds of people to make a world." What a heterogeneous and conglomerate multitude this phil­ osophic axiom encompasses. Pausing to ponder the truth of the saying, "The noblest study of mankind is man," how the enormity of this wisdom impresses. •Hie writer or the speaker who has learned that themes closest to the real life of the masses, the pas­ toral heart-throbs of-the people, are in demand everywhere, has won success already. There are some who turn the olfactory nerves heavenward in disdain, at "the simple annals of the poor." Many beautiful things of life are simple and transitory, yet the rainbow attracts with its beauty as it fades In the canopy of the Great Above. The common people are so multitudinous, there are so many of the bone- and-tilnew-folks who live by the sweat of an honest brow, who shy at a finger- bowl and who never stand around on one foot In "four hundred society," enjoying themselves, that sympathy In volume is never denied the man who writes or speaks directly to them It ia not Doolev's dialect that has made Dunne. It is not George Ade's slang that has sold papers and books, but rather the true touch on the key-note of a sentiment pure and akin to real living. The clothing--light, airy filaments of lace--surround the real philos­ ophy, adding to and embellishing the fascination of reality without which the whole would be as dross. History is replete with epochs made by the common people, wars have been won, presidents have been made, the Great Ruler of the universe exalted --all by the common people. Fuss and feathers, sham and hypocrisy, fall as rhaff before the verdict of the real backbone of this republic. Great deeds of national significance are almost universally traced to the middle strata of existence, and truth prevails when uncovered by the rude hand Of the man who never wore a silken undershirt or a spike-tailed coat Like a rainbow In a drouth, even like an unexpected heritage, comes the joyous tidings that the buckwheat crop this season is a humdinger." It Is greater than for years. What a soothing, comforting piaase Pass sound this news has. It puts our troubles to sleep. the What care we for a shortage in coal, in rye, in meat-- Flapjacks, Ma. have we not the festive, brown and palatable buck­ wheat flapjack to cheer us through the long days of winter? The cake is crisp and delicious. How it me its on the tongue when with butter or maple syrup--or both! It is a cake for the rich as well as the poor, and unless a few kernels of ground corn are sifted in to make it digestible, it is a cake for the physician as well. Mother used to make buckwheat flapjacks. She plied them before you on a breakfast platter until you could scarcely see over, and then you ate away the barriers and went free to school, as full as a toad that has been sucking wind from a garden hose. Let crops fail and the harvest be short, trusts eat us up and politicians belittle us--with plenty of buckwheat cakes and " 'lasses" we will live happy, untrammeled by circumstances and unfettered by lordly menus, kings of the table, serfs only when the buckwheat bin is empty! ,jEe»'»e s«ratdhl»g^ we villi Would Seem a Good Investment fdr Your Surplus Capital. A remarkable statement as to the enormous difference between the pri­ ces obtained by fishermen for their catches and those which the public have to pay for ash was given by Mr. L. W. Lyde during a lecture to the members of the Manchester Geo­ graphical Society. Mr. Lyde, who is an examiner in and teacher of geo­ graphy, said that he once had a class of boys who were deeply interested In the question of railway rates for car­ rying mackerel. He learned after­ wards that the reason for this un­ wonted attention was that some of the boys' fathers were fishmongers, who had special arrangements with the railway companies in regard to the rates charged to them. He made inquiries into the subject, and found that, while fishermen received £4 17s 6d per ton for mackerel, the railway company charged for its carriage from St. Ives, Cornwall, to London, £5 per ton. Then Mr. Lyde wrote to Billings­ gate and inquired from the dealers what was their price for mackerel. The reply was £60 per ton wholesale and £60 a ton retail! New Dodge in Street Begging. Ideas count for success, even in street begging. Old tricks become tiresome through familiarity. The mendicant of the present day, if he would live well, must get something new. One of the latest dodges of the New York solicitor of alms is heroic. It first arouses the indignation of the victim, then pacifies him, and finally wins his sympathy and hi3 money. It is worked in this way: A shabbily at­ tired man hurries along the street, ap­ parently unconscious of his surround­ ings. He expectorates, as though by chance, on to the well polished shoe of a passer-by. Before the man has time to protest the mendicant drops on his knees and, with the remnants of a well-worn handkerchief, rubs away at the soiled shoe, meanwhile pouring forth profuse apologies. Nine times out of ten he gets a dime for his politeness. FOUR DAILY TRAINS TO ST. PAUL-MINNEAPOLMKI Costly Weddings for Guests. A royal wedding is a very inexpen­ sive affair, not only for those who give it, but for each guest. The presents necessarily cost the guests a great deal, for only the richest and rarest gifts can be offered to royalty. Besides a gift, each guest must leave a sum of money for every servant and at­ tendant in his host's house. As there are numerous attendants, and each one must receive a "tip" according to his rank, a great deal of money is necessary. At the marriage of the- Grand Duke and Duchess of Hess the guests left altogether £1,759 to be distributed, besides bestowing over £1,600 worth of gifts among tlfe ser­ vants before their ueparture. .Capt. Carter's Term Nearly Out Former Capt. O. M. Carter, whose military career suddenly terminated in the Fort Leavenworth prison with a five years' sentence against him for financial irregularities growing out of his connection with the river and har­ bor improvements in Savannah, is due for release from confinement early next year. Prisoners are granted a curtailment of their sentence at the rate of two months each year for good conduct. Former Capt. Carter has been a model prisoner ana ten months will be deducted from his term, ac­ cording to present indications. Gen. Corbln's Recent Report Since the publication of Adjutant General Corbln's report it has come to be known as "the wine, women and song report." It will be remembered that Gen. Corbin discussed the can­ teen, commented adversely on the ten­ dency of young officers to get married and recommended the instruction of soldiers in music, especially urging that they be taught regimental airs and songs. Mahomet snd the Cat Mahomet did not give encourage­ ment to those who ban the cat from the company of honest folk. A cat, it is said, once went to sleep on the sleeve of the prophet's robe. »>uen the hour of prayer arrived Mahomet, so the story goes, cut away his sleeve In order that the eat should be un­ disturbed.

"Angellne," called out a fretful voice from the family sitting room, "are you going to school this morning without washing the dishes?" "You oughtn't to ask me to wash the dishes, mamma," responded the high school girl. "Let Kiz do 'em. It spoils my muscles for the fencing ex­ ercise." Truly, the demands of our higher educational system are inexorable. . And still Another Disease. One of the latest diseases to attract the attention of the faculty is, it seems, mysophobla. A person suffer­ ing from this complaint will even go so far as minutely to Scrutinize his tumbler for finger marks, examine his serviette to make sure that it has not been used by somebody else, and often even,in advanced cases, wipe every plate put before him with his servi­ ette.
