They la- bor and sweat and struggle for bread; they squabble and scold and fight; they scramble for little mean advantages over each other; age creeps upon them; Infirmities follow; shames and humilia- tions bring down their prides and their vanities; those they love are taken from them, and the joy of life is turn- ed to aching grief. The burden of pain, care, misery, grows heavier year by year; at length ambition is dead, pride 1s dead; vanity Is dead; longing for re- lease Is in their place. It comes at last—the only unpoisoned gift earth ever had for them—and they vanish from a world where they were of no consequence; where they achieved noth- Ing; where they were a mistake and a failure and a foolishness. There they have left no sign that they have ex- Isted—a world which will lament them a day and forget them forever. Then another myriad takes their place, and coples all they did, and goes along the same profitless road, and vanishes as they vanished—to make room for an- other, and another, and a million other myriads, to follow the same arid path through the same desert and accom- plish what the first myriad and all the myriads that came after it accomplished —nothing.—From Mark Twain’s Auto- blography in North American Review. Origin of the Balloon. The word balloon means “a large ball.” To Montgolfier of Annonay, France, the invention of the balloon is credited. It is said that he was led to turn his attention to balloon making from the following incident: A French laundress, wishing to dry a petticoat quickly, placed it on a basket work frame over a stove. To prevent the heat from escaping by the opening at the top of the petticoat she drew the belt strings closely together and tied them. Gradually the garment dried and became lighter, and as the stove continued to give out heat and rarefy the air concentrated under the basket work frame the petticoat began to move and, finally rose in the air. This so astonished the laundress that she ran to her neighbors and asked them to come and witness the strange 'sight. Montgolfier was among those that came in. The petticoat suspended in midair suggested greater things to him, and he returned home with “gomething to think about” He at once began studying works on differ- ent kinds of atmosphere, and the in- vention of the balloon was the result. No Excuses Accepted. French officials are said to be par- ticularly strict in their discipline of tourists. A lately returned traveler tells several more or less apocryphal stories to illustrate the state of affairs. An American lost his footing, slipped down an'embankment and fell into & small, shallow pond. As he scrambled, dripping, up the embankment to the footpath he was confronted by an arm of the law. “Your name? Your address?’ de- manded this uncompromising person, notebook in hand. “But I fell,” began the astonished American. “I only”’— The man waved his arm. “It is for- bidden to bathe in this lake,” he said | firmly. “I am not here to listen to extenuating circumstances.” War' From a Thumb Bite. | Perhaps; the most portentous if In- nocent incident in the proceedings leading up to England's war with King Theodore of Abyssinia was—a thumb bite. The British consul was practically prisoner at his court ‘when Mr. Stern, a British missionary, called upon the “king of kings.” The first mistake of the Englishman was to seek an audience immediately after the king had dined too liberally with his court. The second was his choosing as interpreters two utterly incompetent men. The inefficiency of this pair.so angered the dusky monarch that then and there he ordered them to be beat- en. Mr. Stern, “unable to bear the sight, * turned around and . bit his thumb.” Now, he was not aware of it, but to bite the thumb is in Abys- sinia a defiance and a threat of venge- ance. The quick eye of the king caught the innocent menace, and he bad the missionary also beaten. From that sprang the war, the -defeat of the forces of the king and his death by his own hand in his ruined city of Mag- dala.—London Standard. The Eternal Wilderness. We still have our “unmanstified” places. And there shall come to us a wilderness here and another there where now there Is none, for every- thing moves n circles, which s not at all a new discovery, and the man wao today laments a dearth of the wilder- ness may live long enough to find him- self one day wielding an ax as dull as the pen he now bewalls with—and for- ty miles from a grindstone. We shall not remonstrate with the writers who are picturing us going to eternal smash for want of tall timber. Their work ig not without its good effect In staylng the denudation of our nearby recrea- tion grounds, and we are content to watch the wily.old wilderness creeping up in the rear of the advancing army of invasion, reaching out with sure, si- lent fingers and reclaiming her own, building anew her razed stockades and unfurling to the winds her defiant ban- nerets.—Recreation. ' A Good Laugh. Every hearty laugh tends to prolong life, as'it makes the blood flow more rapidly and gives a new and different muln- to all ‘the organs of the’bbdy. what is in force at the other times. The saying, “Laugh and grow | fat” has therefore a foundation ,‘ll’? tact. bt s. o S.THE BLOOD As every part of the body is: dent en the blood for nourishment and strength, it is necessary that this vital finid be kept free from getms, impurities and poisons, As long as it remains uncontaminated we are for- tified against disease and health is assured; but any humor or impurity acts injuriously on the system and affects the general health, or culminates in some special blood disease, Pustular eruptions, pimples, rashes and the different skin affections show that the blood. is in a feverish and diseased condition as a result of too much acid, or the presence of some irritating humor. ' Sores and Ulcers are the result of morbid, unhealthy matter in the |tests—P blood, and Rheumatism, Catarrh, Scrofula, Contagious Blood Poison, etc., are all deep-seated blood diseases that continue to grow worse as long as the impurity or poison remains in the circulation.. Some persons are born with an hereditary taint in the blood and we' see the effect manifested in various ways. The skin has a pallid, waxy appearance, the eyes are weak, glands in the neck often enlarged and usually the body is not fully developed or strong, because it has always been fed on weak, impure blood. In allblood troubles S. S. S. has proved itself a perfect remedy. It goes down into the circulation and removes all' poisons, humors, waste or foreign matter, and makes this stream of life pure and health-sustaining, Nothing reaches inherited blood troubles like S. S. S.; it removes every particle of taint, purifies and strengthens the weak, deteriorated blood, supplies it with the healthful properties it needs and establishes the foundation for good health. Rheumatism, Catarrh, Scrofula, Sores and Ulcers, Skin Diseases, Contagious Blood Poison and all blood diseases and disorders are cured permanently by S. S. S. It is made entirely of roots, herbs and barks, and is the King of all blood purifiers.
