V " When my llttlo boy was six ycaTS old
he had an Attack of the measles, and alter
recovering he was reitless at night, had
no appetite, and was cross and fretful.
Later on, large blotches and sores broke
out on his face and limbs. Wo wore told
they would heal In a few days; but
these few days grew into months. One
day my husband, who is a well-known
railroad man, was advised by some of his
fellow workmen to glvo the boy Hood's
Barsaparllla. We concluded to do so, and
after he had taken tho first bottle wa
noticed somo improvement. We kept on

YOUNG IDEAS.
"Johnnie," said a mother to her G-year-old
son, "Is it pcssiblo that 1 oveineard
you teaching the purrot to swear?" "No,
mamma," replied Johnnie, "1 was Just
telling It what It musn't say."
Little Katie's undo wus very fat and
his neck wus a series of rolls of ilesn.
One day whllo playing Katie noticed this
for tho nrst tlmo and exclaimed: "Oh,
uncle, you've got a u double chin on
the buck of jour neck!"
"Slammu,' said llttlo 4-ycar-old Slabel,
"ain't I us tall as you are'.'" "Of course
not, dear," replied her mother. "You
don't como up to my waist." "Well,"
answered Slabel, "I'm Just us tall down
tho other way; my feet are us tar down
as yours."
A llttlo fi-ycar-old Chicago boy was v ta
iling In the country and u bowl of bread
und milk wns given him for supper. Ho
tasted It, then paused nnd looked at It
for a moment In silence. "Don't you like
It'.'" nsked his mother. "Yes, Indeed!"
replied tho little fellow; "I was only wlsli
Ing our milkman would trade his wagon
for a real cow."
Llttlo Nelllo was In tho kitchen ono
day and seeing some large Insects crawl
ing around sho asked what they were
und was told they were ants. The next
morning she was playing in the yard, anJ
seeing a lot of very small nuts crawling
over tho ground she ran to her mother
nnd exclaimed: "Oh, mamma, there's
a whole lot of little nephews nnd nlecs
out In the yard coming to vi.slt their
aunts In the kitchen."
Llttlo Stamle was trying to write with
a dull tend pencil that her mother hud
given her, but meeting with poor suc
cess, sho exclaimed: "Oh, mamma, tho
wood has slipped down ovtr iho lead
and the marks won't como out!"
Eddie's father wns a Jeweler and some,
times the Ittle fellow got business mKM
up with Indian stories and Kunduy school
lessons. One Sunday morning he sur
prised; his mcthT by asking: "Say,
mamma, what tribe was It that mido
gold-plated calves the Israelites or tho
Choctiiws?"
Dorothy had heard somo one singing
that classical production, tho "IJttlo
Alabama Coon" on the Btreet. Presently
sho came to her mother and asked:
"SInmma, what docs 'swat' mean?"
"What do you think It mfans?" "Well, I
don't know, mamma; but I s'poso that
'swat' Is colored for spank!"
Harry, aged 6. had been to Sunday

Bright Prospects for Peace.
From tho Chleaco Tribune
Tho girl students of a school In Missouri
recently sent the folowlng lines to smio
of the boy students among tho troops at
Chlcknmouga:
Faro yo well, Intrepid heroes,
llnsto to war with Its alarms;
You'll return to find us sherocs.
Waiting here with yawning arms;
If the Spaniards do not pint" you
In tho sanguinary fight,
Hasten back und wo wll imir you,
In wild ujdims of d'jt'.ht.
j ONE WOMAN'S VIEWS, f.
It's a pity that the Board of Health
went on a tour of Inspection of tho
reservoirs. They must have poked
around with their canes and umbrellas
nnd stirred up tho water fearfully, for
It has been of a dark Spanish hue ever
since, by spells. Another thing which
Is to bo deprecated Is the llttlo habit
tho water company has of taking Sun
day to turn off the water nnd mix up
the mud. Tho results aro very bad for
Monday's wnshlng. A great many
housewives In this city havo wept over
the condition of tho clothes nfter the
cleansing process In the coftoo colored
lluld provided on Monday morning had
tnken place, while the remarks ut
tered by laundresses nnd maids of nil
work have been too profuse for repeti
tion In print.
Speaking about water, reminds me of
milk. A lady was heard to complain
the other day of her hard lot In being
unable to escape the "combine." "I've
made three attempts," said sho. "One
day a nice young man approached mo
In a reverent sort of fashion and want
ed to know If I wouldn't like to have
better milk than I wns getting. Of
course, I eagerly assured him that I
should. Who over wouldn't prefer to
have something better than she has,
except In tho way of husbands, or her
her own disposition and temperament.
Then he declnred that ho was selling
real cow's milk, fresh every day, nnd
I agreed to begin patronizing him tho
next week.
"Well, for eight days we had real
cow's milk, but after that wo began to
notice n difference. I Induced the cook
to keep awake ono night and lay In
wait for that milkman, to see If there
hadn't been a change. Sho didn't
catch hlin, but saw his wagon which
bore the proper Insignia, Indicating the
nice young man's ownership. But the
milk didn't Improve. Finally, after a
few days we did see him and he con
fessed that he'd sold out to the com
bine. "Then wo tried another Individual,
who made solemn vows nnd told us
deep, dark things that fully convinced
us he could neither be bribed nor
bought; but ono morning he came
blithely to the front door and said ho
was going to be a street car conductor
nnd hud sold his route to the combine.
No amount of questioning could de
duce the proof of our secret belief thnt
the street railway company and the
milk combine were In league.
"Thoro was one more experience,"
continued the speaker. "A friends of
ours had been telling us for weeks
of her good fortune In securing won
derful milk, which was brought to the
door every morning by a iady,' who.
of course, was Independent enough to
keep out of tho trust. We Immediate
ly had a wild desire to meet this iady'
and after some days of anxiety mudo
arrangements that she should bring us
a certain nmount dally. Sho couldn't
supply us with ns much as wo desired.
as her 'cow did not give enough for
three families,' she said; but we were
reasonably happy. Yesterday I dis
covered that our milk lady was buy
ing her supply from the combine nnd
that the cow had been a myth all
along. Imagine my feelings! Now I'm
going to buy combine milk, but I pro
pose to make the life of our particular
delivery man a burden, for I shnll Just
measure tho cream on top of the bot
tle, and If It Isn't of tho proper thick
ness and general consistency there will
be trouble.
"What I can't understand." she add
ed, meditatively, "how it is there Is
so much water on the outside of the
bottles. I can comprehend the manner
In which It gets Inside, but I can't see
why the bottle always stands In a pool
of water every morning."
You can keep moderately cool this
weather If you aren't obliged to be
much In the sun nnd If you don't "fus"
ofer the heat. Don't go around ejacu
lating "Whew!" every few minutes.
Don't wear uny more clothing than Is
absolutely necessary, and don't worry.
The last requisite is the most Impor
tant. It Is better to be busied with
something to keep your mind from
dwelling on tho altitude of the ther
mometer. Sundays, when you have
leisure to think about your miseries,
the heat is always most oppressive. As
regards the hot nights, when sleep
seems Impossible, you will find that to
tnke a cool bath will reduce your
temperature and then to throw aside
pillows, will almost Invariably give you
a comfortable night, at least In Scran
ton, whore there Is sure to be a breeze.
It Is a very easy mutter to accustom
one's self to sleep without a pillow.
After the first night you will abandon
It from choice. The consequence Is
that the base of the brain and the
spinal nerve centers do not become
heated from the close embrace of tho
feathers and the rest secured Is very
refreshing. This Is practical advice
from one who really does not suffer
from the heat. Saucy Bess.
THE FRIGATE BIRD.
It Lives in the Upper Air and Sleeps
Upon the Wing.
The frigate bird is endowed witi,
magnificent powers of flight. Ills wings
stretch to an expanse of about ten
or twelve feet; his body Is about threo
feet In length; his bill Is very powerful,
and his feet are webbed, but very
small; but for these he has but llttlo
use, as his home Is In the nlr, hund
reds of leagues uway from the land.
He Is seen soaring high above thn
ocean; but on Its bosom ho never rests.
When he seeks repose ho linds It aloft.
His foot rarely touches land, except
at the tlmo for pairing, making nest
und rearing young.
The expanse of his wing Is so great
nnd his body Is so light that he can
AWFUL
My baby sister hid a rasb, causing her In.
tense suffering. We had doctors, and tried
everything, without a cure. It would scab
ot cr, crack open, a watery matter would oozo
out and the scab fall off. Wo procured a box
of Cuticuiia (ointment), a cako of Cutioora,
Boap, and Ctmcunil Rcsoi.vr.NT, and alio was
entirely cured without a tear being Ut.

soar with llttlo or no exertion. Still, It
Is difficult to sec how this would cnnblti
him nctually to sleep on the wing, as
It Is believed he does.
A closer examination shows, however,
that his bones nro hollow, und that
there is a large pouch communicating
with his lungs and with the cavities in
the bones. This pouch he can Inllatn
with air, nnd thus render himself
buoyant: the sustaining power thus ac
quired, added to that of tho wings, Itij

If his home Is In tho nlr, If ho neither
dives Into the sea for fish nor searches
on tho land for other food, whence does
ho derive his sustenance? Impelled
by hunger, he descends from the lofty
regions where It Is his delight to dwell.
Whether the sea bo rough or calm, he
glides nlonc over the water, and any
unwary ilsh approaching the surfaco
Is pounced upon Instantly nnd swal
lowed. But the bird has other resources;
though he cannot dive Into the sea to
catch fish, ho avails himself of tho
labors of birds that can. Ho watches
one of them; sees It come out of tho

SOLDIERS' BEST FRIEND.
Why General Miles Is So Popular
With tho Rank and File.
The secret of the extraordinary pop
ularity of Slajor General Nelson A.
Miles with the rank and file of the
regular army was explained yesterday
by Headquarters Clerk W. H. Lc Roy,
of Fort Stcllenry. Lo Roy Is about 35
years of age and for fifteen of theses
years he has been In the regular nrmy,
having served In the Infantry, cavn'ry
nnd artillery. Ho served under Gener
al Sllles In the Northwest during the
Indian compalgn of 1S90-91, and has
had as much experience of active ser
vice In the Held as any man of his
years In the service.
"Men outside of the service have no
Idea of tho extent of General Miles
populniity with tho men of the regu
lar army," said Lo Hoy. "He Is Idol
ized by tho men as their best friend
among all the officers. In my early
years In the army I had no particular
reason to admire the general. I was
born In a southern state; my father
wus a slave owner and then a eon
federate soldier, who lost his light
leg whllo fighting against the Union
brigade In which General Sllles served
an a captain. When the war was over
our family had lost almost everything.
When I was old enough I went Into
the nrmy.
"I had often heard of Genernl Sllles,
but never saw him until the winter of
1SU0 In the Dakotas. Wc were out
lighting Indians in tho middle of win
ter, nnd the boys of the Eighth cav
alry, to which I then belonged, were
suffering considerably from the wentli
er, having no proper winter clothing
to protect them from the extreme cold.
One day I was doing guard duty near
Major Wells' tent when a general of
ficer whom I had never seen before
rode up. It was bitterly cold nnd I
had nothing on but the ordinary' '''uo
medium weight uniform like you see
on me now. We ought to have had
furs, but they were not supplied In
time nnd we hnd scarcely nny blan
kets equnl to the climate. I saluted
the general and ho returned It, asking,
as he eyed me, "Have you men no
heavier winter clothing? You fellows
must be freezing out here at this rate."
I replied that we had nothing more
than what he saw on me, and he at
once rode to the tent of the oliloer
commanding.
"After he passed I learned that he
was General SUlca. On meeting the
commanding oincer, the general asked
him why the men had no heavy cloth
ing or proper winter bedding. We
had to leave most of the available
stuff back at the last post, 130 tulles
to the rear,' responded the officer. 'Wo
have nbout all the bagguge we ian
curry with us.'
" 'What officers' baggage have you?"
asked General Sllles.
"The officer answered that each of
ficer had the regular amount of bug
gage allowed by tho regulations and
nbout 400 pounds each extra, which
consisted of mess chests.
" 'The olllcers can do without mess
chests better than the men can do
without heavy clothing and warm
bedding,' replied General Miles, nnd
he ordered the officers' mess chests to
be sent back to tho other post and sub
stituted for them plenty heavy horse
blankets and all the heavy uniforms
and clothing nnd warm German boots
that could bo secured at the post. The
were all comfortably clad and pre
pared to meet the worst weather. As
we donned the warm duds and our
blood began to circulate better, many
a soldier prayed silently as well as ho
knew how for General Sllles. In my
own case I felt that he had saved my
life.
"After that I saw many other no
table Instances of his humane and
considerate treatment of the boys.
Others say It, and General Sllles be
came the Idol of the men who served
under him. Since then he has done
much for the comfort of the private
soldier, and It Is common talk In the
army that It wns General Miles who
secured for the troops now down south
tho welcome canvas suits, which make
llfo in the torrid climate worth living.
If I could by any chance get near this
Puerto Rico outfit, and I may yet, I
would regard It as a high privilege,
nnd you will Hnd thousands of othets
under blue coats who will be equally
anxious to servo even to the death tho
best friend of the private soldier that
ever wore a uniform." Baltimore Sun.
GRANDMOTHER'S MINCE PIE.
Sit down around tho mystic mix,
And lay tho heaviest odds
That nowhere else can mortals fix
A mince plo for the gods.
In other minces there are Ills
Whose presunco perils ease,
Hut overythlng in this mince litis
Tho hurgry harmonies.
The crusts, that hold tho myst'ry close,
Melt In the mouth, und they,
Above the earthy and tho gross,
In 'raptures fado away.
i
Tho meat that's In tho mince Is meat
Tho gods themselves must grow;
Whllo grapo and citron, rich and sweet,
Are from Pomona's bhow.
Above tho full round mystery
Such nectarous odors rlso
That' when Its gates are opened, wo
Step Into Paradise.
And now may drerm who may have fed
Upon this perfect pie.
But nil tho dream paths ho may tread
Lead upward to the sky.
Sit down around the mystlo mix
And lay tho heaviest odds
That nowhere elso can mortals lis
A mlnco plo for the gods.

Tho underlying cause of nervous de
blllty, apparent In headaches, dyspep
sia, sleeplessness and neuralgia, Is
faulty nutrition of the entire nervous
system.
So long ns tho blood Is pale, watery
and hampered by bad humors tho
nerves cannot assimilate proper nour
ishment, no matter how much food Is
taken Into tho system. Paine's celery
compound arouses a hearty appetite,
regulates the bowels and brings about
a normal action of the liver.
This Is the sweeping and thorough
manner In which Pnlne's celery com
pound frees the system not only of
rheumatism, eczema, salt rheum and
other diseases due to Impure blood;
but also of neuralgia, sleeplessness and
nervous headaches and dyspepsia that
aro brought about by a "run down"
stnte of tho nerves.
The use of Palno's celery compound
makes all the difference between im
pure, sluggish blood and tired nerves;
nnd healthy, energetic bodily condl-
tlon.
