Blood
Is Life
Pure Blood
is Health
Without blood circulating through your
veins you could not Hve. Without pure
blood you cannot be well. The healthy
action of every organ depends upon the
purity and richness of the blood by which
it is nourished and sustained. If you have
salt rheum, scrofula sores, pimples, boils
or any kind of humor, your blood is not
pure. If you take Hood’s Sarsaparilla it
will make your blood pure and promptly
relieve all these troubles. In the spring
the blood is loaded with impurities.
Henoo, all those unsightly eruptions, that
langnor and depression, and the danger
of serious iliness. Hood's Barsaparilla is
needed to purify, enrich and vitalize the
blood and protect and fortify the system.

Two Acres Enough in Belgium.
What many an American farmer fails
to do on 100 acres, the thrifty Holland-
er in Belgium ecasily does on two acres,
namely, support a large family and
lay by something for a rainy day. He
does it by making the most of every
inch, by heavy manuring, allowing no
waste places. Ils two acres are sur-
rounded by a ditch of running water.
The typical two-acre Belgium farm
comtains a patch of wheat ar rye and
another of barley; another fair portion
grows potatoes. A row of cabbage
grows all around on the sloping sides
of the ditches with a row of onions
just Inside. leaving bare walking room
between them and the grain. The
shade trees round the house are pear
trees. Every foot of land is made to
produce. He keeps pigs and chickens.
We refer to this as illustrating the pos-
sibilities of land production. In Bel-
gium 6,000,000 people, chiefly farmers,
live on a piece of land the size of the
State of Maryland. They furnish an
sbject lesson on successful fa*ming.—

#What's the matter?’ inquired the
foreman, as he entered the sanctum for
copy and noted the editor's bleeding
nose, swollen forehead, puffed, red eye
amd tattered, dusty coat. “Fall down
stairs?”
“No—only that,” replied the editor,
pointing with his finger to a paragraph
in the paper before him. ‘It's in our
account of the Crapley-Smith wedding.
It ought to read: ‘Miss Smith's dim-
pled, shining face formed-a pleasing
contrast with Mr. Crapley's strong,
bold physiognomy.” But see how it
was printed.”
And the foreman read, “Miss Smith's
pimpled, skinny face formed a pleasing
contrast with Mr, Crapley’s stony, bald
physiognomy.”
“Crapley was just in here,” continued
‘the editor, throwing one blood-streaked
handkerchief into the waste-basket and
feeling in his pockets for a clean one,
“and he—but just send that fool of a

AIDED BY MRS. PINKHAM,
Mrs. W. E. Paxton, Youngtown,
North Dakota, writes about her strug-
gle to regain health after the birth of
her little girl:
“DEAR MRS. PINkHAM:—It is with
pleasure that I add my testimony to
your list, hoping that it may induce
others to avail themselves of your val-
uable medicine.
‘After the birth of my little girl,
three years ago, my health was very
poor. I had leucorrheea badly, and a
terrible 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.
I 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-
ponnd, 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.
“I 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 need 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. Mass.
PEARLS OF THOUGHT.
Training is the art of gaining.
Quietness is the magnet of peace.
Good works are the voice of faith,
Patience is the barometer of faith.
Influence is the magnet of character.
Capability is the polestar of position.
Truth is the dynamite gun of revo-
lution.
Discipline is the crucible of respon-
gibility. :
In forgiving a fault, we may inspire
a virtue.
Temptation is the balance where
character is weighed.
Conscience makes cowards of only
those who fail to obey it.
Love has emulation without strife,
unity without uniformity.
To put works against faith isto con-
trast the tree with its roots.
One’s faith shows less what he is
than what he is trying to be.
Beware of prosperity; luxury was
the death-knell of Rome’s vigor.
Those who worship wealth, will bow
i in adoration before good clothes.
Knowledge and wisdom make a
strong team when hitched together.
‘Penalty of violated law,”’ would be
an appropriate epitaph for half the
dead.
Cultivation that will not permit the
conscience to stand erect, is unworthy
thé name.
The dark cloud is little dreaded
when we are sure there is no tempest
in waiting beyond the tomb.
The child will laugh and cry; the
youth will primp and sigh ; the man
will twist and lie, and all will groan
and die.—Ram’s Horn.

REMARKABLE MARKSMANSHIP.
Killing Four Caribou Out of Five at Long
Distances.
A party of four of us left here for
the upper part of the state for a four-
days’ hunting trip on Feb. 12, says a
Bath (Me.) letter to the Army and
Navy Journal. There was one man
among us, Orderly Sergeant Richard-
son, U. S. A., at Fort Popham, Me.,
still in the service. =~ On the third
morning three of us—the sergeant,an-
other, and myself—Ileft camp together
in search of game, the snow falling
thick, but calm; no wind. We had
not gone more than a mile from camp
chen we saw on the nextridge (a hill-
side) five caribou staading on the hill-
side in such open place that it was al-
most impossible to get nearer them
without being seen. After a wait of
some time for them to change their
position, that we might advance nearer
and get a shot of more certainty, our
silence was broken by the sergeant’s
remark that he had killed deer as far
away as that, and thought he could
kill one of these. = We all agreed to
let him take a shot, and estimated the
distance at 500 yards. When he got
in his position, which ;he calls the
Texas grip, and selecting the one on
the right, told us to look out for him,
at the crack of his rifle, to my great
surprise, down came the animal with
his back broken. The others being
bewildered, ran in a circle like, stop-
ping to a standstill somewhat nearer
to us. All hands estimated 450 yards.
Again he selected the one on the right,
and at the crack of the gun again the
animal dropped, shot through the
heart. The other three leaped off in
another direction, as we estimated
600 yards. Then the sergeant ad-
justed his sights to that distance, and
to my greatest surprise he killed the
third one. The other two separated,
and one of them came back near the
first one that was shot;. when he stood
broadside to us and the sergeant fired,
but shot low and broke both front legs
just above the knee. After a little
skitmishing about in the brush we
found him, and one more shot from
the old Springfield rifle, with the ser-
geant behind it, gave us four out of
five caribou, and only five shots fired,
and by only one man at that, We
went into camp with flying colors, and
were the centre of attraction that
evening.
One of the party inquired of the
sergeant svhere he had obtained such
proficiency in marksmanship. when
he pulled his coat open and exhibited
a splendid gold badge from the army,
a distinguished marksman’s medal,
won by him in 1889 in the division
competion of the army, Department of
the East. Our party were on this
hunt for several days, and. killed six
deer, two elk, and four caribou, of
which Sergeant Richardson killed four
caribou, three deer, and one elk, and
he killed them all over 400 yards, ex-
cept one deer, which he shot on the
run, and ao 150 yards distance,
breaking his neck.

opments of the automatic macliine is

have a pain, find its corresponding lo-

the slot and the proper pill or powder
will come out.

“ Forcing” the Studies.
The abandonment of the Froebel sys-
tem in the government schools in Paris
Is an interesting educational announce-
ment. The: Paris correspondent of the
New York Evening Post makes this
comment upon the change: ‘“Experi-
ence has proved the wisdom of the old
saying, ‘Work when you work, and
play when you play.’ A game forced,
the teachers say, is no longer a game;
and while the children are amused at
first, they soon weary of Froebel’s in-
structive ‘mother play.” The authori-
ties here consider that prolonging dur-
ing the ages of 8 and even 9, as the
Froebel kindergartens do, the associa-
tion of amusement and instruction,
makes the child lacking in application
and retards him, which is clearly
proved by the fact that the children
who leave the kindergartens at 7 go
into the second and third.grade of the
primary schools, knowing reading, writ-
ing, addition, substraction, the geogra-
phy of France and the multiplication
table up to seven. So while there are
still occasional ardent devotees to this
method in Paris, the government has
pronounced against it, as failing to
amuse from the standpoint of play, and
hindering the fullest development in
the nature of work.” The prolonging
of the kindergarten age is doubtless at
the root of the trouble. There is no
doubt that in this country, also, the
spirit of the Froebel teaching is by no
means always followed. But wher-
ever it is comprehended the results are
| necessarily good, being founded upon
a deep philosophical principle of life.
The fault is not in Froebel’s philosophy,
not in the motor power, but in the sort
of machinery used, so to speak, in the
ignorance of the teachers of its right-
ful and spiritual and educational appli-
cation.—Boston Transcript.
Stone Moles.
An inventor has hit upon a method of
putting stone soles on boots and shoes.
He mixes a waterproof glue with a
suitable quantity of clean quartz sand,
and spreads it over the leather sole
used as foundation. These quartz
soles are said to be very flexible and
practically indestructible, and to give
the foot a firm hold even on the most
slippery surface.

In the Year 1900.
A pale form lay upon a cot in the hos
pital. Friends and relatives were gath-
ered at the bedside; all were gazing
anxiously upon the wan face of the
prostrate man. Grief was written upor
their faces, and ,tears, unconsciously
and unheeded, trickled down their
cheeks. Oh, would he not awaken to
speak one last word before he crossed
over the dark riwer of death! Ah—
look! His lips move, his eyelids slowly
open, he struggles to speak! Finally
the words came. In faint, quivering
tones he asked:
“Tell me, tell me, what make of air
ship was it that collided with mine?”
“Have peace, my dearest,” pitifully
sobbed the stricken wife, “it was an im-
proved, ball-bearing, chainless ‘Aerial’
of the latest model.”
“Thank heaven! Now I can die hap-
py. It is the same make as mine.”—
