The Dodo Was Too Stu~id to Build a Nest for Himself. Dodo is the Portuguese name for simpleton, and it is given to the silliest bird that ever lived. Three hundred years ago, when the Portuguese first visited the island of Mauritius, they found a great number of these birds. They were about the size of a large swan, blackish gray in color, and having only a bunch of feathers in place of a tail, and little, useless wings. _More stupid and foolish birds could not be imagined. They ran about making a silly, hissing noise like a goose and the sailors easily knocked thera over with their paddles. They couldn’t fly. they couldn't swim, they couldn't run at any great speed, and as for fighting, they were the greatest cowards in the POHO OF MAURITIUS, (The Silliest Dird That Ever Lived.) world. They were much too stupid to build a nest, and so they dropped an egg in the g nd went off and let it hatch as best it could. Added to all of these things, its flesh was fairly good to eat, and the Portuguese pursued it so y for food that in less than time there wasn't a sin dodo left in the world. It was quite too silly and stupid to save its own life, and so it b Xtinet. e Belles of Crow Agency.

An Arab almost always offers mar- riage to his brother’s wife. This is also an all but invariable custom among the Mormons. It is a sign of respect to the dead brother ard to the living woman.

The machines are the invention of Chz .of Hoboken, who said: “I have worked on this theory of a practical airship for 1S years. Five years ago in one of the public parks of Philadelphia I tried a working model. It was not large enough to sat as a ‘trial horse,’ so | have had a larger one made—one that can carry five men, provisions, etc. Next month it will be tried from the Guttenburg race track.

One gallon of petroleum a day will suffice to run the engine and about 40 gallons ean be carried—enough to last for a month without replenishing the fuel. “Unlike Prof. Andree, we are able to renew our supply of gas as fast as it leaks and the balloon loses its proper ganiz . Kuenz ~ Free From Rheumatism. If the people generally knew the true cause of Rheumatism, there would be nosuch thing as liniments and lotions for this painful and disabling disease. The fact is, Rheumatism is a disordered state of the blood—it can be reached, therefore, only through the blood. But all blood remedies cannot cure Rheuma- tim, for it is an obstinate disease, one which requires a real blood remedy— something more tha Swift’s Specific is the only ranedy and promptly goes to the very bottom of even the most obstinate case. i ' doctors are totally unableto cure Rheu- jmatism. In fact, the only remedies which they prescr r ‘mercury, and though temporary relief may result, these remedies produce a stiffness of joints and only intensify the disease. Those who have had experience ' | with Rheumatism know that it becomes | | tiore severe each year. Ninth Street, 5. E., Washington, D.C., should convince everyone that it is useless to expect doctors to cure Rheu- matism. Under recent date she writes: “A few months ago I had an attack of Sciatic Rheumatism in its worst form. The pain was so intense that my ner- vous system was prostrated, and I was for a long time perfectly helpless. The attack was an unusually severe one, and my condition was regarded as being very dangerous. “J was attended by one of the most able doctors of Washington City, who is also a member of the faculty of the leading college here. He told me to continue his prescription and I would get well. After having it refilled twelve times and receiving not the least bene- fit, I declined to take it longer. “Having heard S.S.S. (Swift's Spe- cific) recommended for Rheumatism, I decided, almost in despair, to give it a trial. After taking a few bot- tles I was able to hobble around on crutches, and very soon had no need at all for them, for S.S.S. cured me sound and well. All the distressing pains have left me, my appetite has returned, and I am happy to be again restored to perfect health.” S.S.S. never disppoints, for it is made to cure these deep-rooted diseases which are beyond the reach of all other reme- dies. Itcures permanenty Rheumatism, Catarrh, Cancer, Scrofula, Eczema, and all other blood diseases. Itis the only blood remedy guaranteed Purely Vegetable, buoyancy.
