That there be no doubt regarding this

"Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale Peo
ple arc composed of vegetable remedies that
exert a powerful influence In purifying and
enriching the blood. Many diseases long
supposed by the medical profession to be in
curable have succumbed to the- potent in
fluence of these pills. This universal remedy
is sold by all druggists.

'The arrangement of furniture Is
much more formal than in the United
States. It is is very common sight to
aee a splendidly-furnished parlor with
row of straight-backed chairs all
alike with their backs against the wall
and as close together as they can be
placed clear around the room, says
the Modern Mexican.
Heavy single doors, such as are used
In the United States, ore practically
unknown In Mexican housea either ot
entrances or between Interior rooms.
All doors open in the middle and are
fastened with bolts at top and bot
tom. Exterior doors are always fitted
with gloss panels, for they also serve
ss windows. All such doors opening on
the street or open courts are fitted
with solid shutters that are folded at
the sides out of sight when not In

A good Mexican cook relieves the
mistress of the house of worry and re
sponsibility In a manner that is al
most unknown In the United States.
The cook Is given so much a day, and
with this amount she will purchase
ench niornin? all the provisions for
the day, Including even the staples
that are usunllr bouirht In larce quan
tities in other countries. On a dollar
a day n cook will provide a very good
table for a family of three or four,
and get enough beans and tortillas and
chile to set the servants' table besides.
Thev can really do better than tfielr
mlntreshes. because thev can usually
drive sharper bargains with the mar-
ketmen of their own class, ami tney
have more patience to haggle over the
last penny.

Mr. Ilorbert D. Ward contributes to
the Century a paper devoted to "Ile
roes ot the Deep," in which ho says:
"It la always with a vague regret
that we road the sugas aud are thrilled
by the vikings exploits. It seems as 11
the deeds of daring had gone by for
ever, and as If the heroes of the deep
wore a myth of the past. Absorbed
in the Norse romance, we forget that
the vikings were only pirates, and that
they dared for sluughter and for
booty. If the Gloucester of to-day had
only existed then, what heroic saga
would it not have Inspired! For to
risk life for glory, or riches, or rescue,
or love is la the heart of every man
to do; but to risk life for a bare ex
istence, for other people's profit and
for an anonymous e.nd partakes of that
commonpluce sublimity which does
not form the favorite plot of poets, ul
though once in awhile it Is the subject
of a daily paragraph.
"For the vikings are not dead. From
rortlund to Now Orleans our harbors
are full of them. They loungo upon
our wharves and we do uot recognize
them. They loiter on our streets and
we know them not. Hut if there Is n
more modest, unconscious or braver
fellow than Juck the Fisherman our
eyes have yet to rest upon h.t face.
He is the hardiest and motit daring,
the best Fuilor in tho world to-duy.
Any continental kingdom would give
its wealth to possess lilm for Its de
fense. IIo is the envy of every mari
time nation, llua he no value for uh,
beyond the halibut nnil the cod, the
haddock snd the cusk?"

The Number I Very Larvo nnd Thrre
la So Effort to lie
duive It.
The large proportion of blind people
in Spain nits uttracteU attention slnee
tho beglunlng of the present century.
The subject Is ugaln brought up by un
article by Prlvj- Councilor Hirscbberg
ill the German Medical Weekly giving
tlie results of his recent observation
in Spiiln, where he attended the hy
gienic congress. He says the streets
of Madrid swarm with blind beggars;
the further south he went the more
blind he met. The proportion in Spain
as given In tho census of I860 is 11 to
10,000, agiilust eight to nine in Ger
many, France and England; but that
figure is considered undoubtedly fulse
by continental authorities. More re
cent figures give 14.8. Tho chief causes
of blindness in Spain are inflamma
tion of the eyes of Infants, granula
tion nnd smallpox. The widespread
fatalistic attitude of the sick, the look
of goveramental oversight and the
small attention paid to disease of the
eye operate to increase the number
of the blind in Spain. There is not a
single publlo eye hospital in Spain, so
cording to Dr. lllrschberg; only wurds
in general hospitals and private insti
tutions. Instruction in diseases of the
eye Is neglected in the medical schools,
though there is hope that the new med
ical faculty in Barcelona, which has
.been organized within two years, may
work an improvement in ophthalmol
ogy In Spoln.
Mrs. ClCTcland nnd Her Little Glrla.
A close friend of Mrs. Cleveland's
tells this story of her in an anecdotal
biography of the former mistress of
the whilte house In the LntfteV Home
Journal: ''Mrs. Cleveland used to be
comewhat sensitive over the general
regret so freely expressed before the
birth of the last child that there was
no boy in the family. It seemed to her
to imply a lack of appreciation of her
three little girls. A friend, who is mar
ried and has a son, visited the white
house one day, and when the children
were brought in she exclaimed: 'What
a pfy they are all .girls!' Quick as a
