‘Pipe Institution so long as the dear THE BLOOD. The blood is life. We derive from the blood life, power, beauty and rea- Son, as the doctors have been saying from time immemorial. A healthy body, a fresh appearance, and gener- ally all the abilities we possess de- pend om that source of life. It is therefore the duty of every sensible man to keep the blood as pure and normal as/ possible. Nature, in . Its infinite wisdom, has given usa ther- mometer indicating the state of the blood, which appeals to our reason by giving. notice of its impurity. Small eruptions of the skin, to| which we Scarcely pay any attention, headache, ringing noises in the ears, lassitude, sleeplessness, are generally a sign that the blood is not in its normal State, but is filled with noxious sub- Stances. These symptomse deserve our full attention. If more attention were paid to those symptoms, and steps taken to remove them, tlfen many illnesses from which we suffer would be come unknown and the hu- man body would become stronger and healthier. Attention, therefore, should be paid to those warning signs, ahd the blood can be purified and poison- ous substances removed from it by the use of Dr. August Koenig's Hamburg Dreps, discovered more than 60 years ago.

Lake Sarah, Minn., Nov. 24th.—Mrs. Hildebrandt of this place claims to have discovered a complete cure for Rheumatism, and numerous people can testify that as Mrs. Hildebrandt had the terrible affliction and is now a well woman, she appears to have good grounds for her claim. Mrs. Hildebrandt speaks of her cure as fol- lows: “I had the Rheumatism in my arms so bad that I could not sleep at night. I was induced to try Dodd’s Kidney Pills, and before I had taken two boxes I was much | better. When I had taken four boxes I was completely cured.” , It is only fair to state that others have made the same discovery as Mrs. Hildebrandt and that for Rheu- matism and other diseases arising from the Kidneys, Dodd’s Kidney | Pills are recognized as the one sure | and permanent cure.

City, adds her tes- timony to the hundreds of thou- saads on Mrs. Pinkham’s files. When Lydia E. Pinkham’s Reme- dies were first introduced skeptics all over the country frowned upon {their curative claims, but. as year after year has rolled by and the little group of women who had been cured by the new discovery has since grown into a vast army of hundreds of thousands, doubts and skepticisms have been SwEpe away as by a mighty flood, until to-day the great. good that Lydia E.

Otto Sver- drup will ‘reveal the fact that all the land masses in the North polar basin have been discovered. Nansen’s explorations, coupled with the work of Jackson, Baldwin, Well- man and others, determined the north- ern limits of Franz Josef Land. For cénturies the extent of the Spitzenber- gen islands have been known. Re- cently the location of most of the small island masses lying between Spitzen- berg and Franz Josef Land has been worked out, and through the efforts of Peary the extent of Greenland and its attendant islets has been settled for all time. The only part of the polar ocean, therefore, about whose exact balance between water and land masses there was any doubt, was that portion lying immediately north of the island groups lying immediately north of the North American continent and imme- diately west of the familiar land mass- es, Grand Land, Grinnell Land, Elles- mere Island, that lie to the west of Greenland, being separated from it by tha narrow channel that runs north from Baffin’s Bay to the frozen circum- polar ocean. It is just this part of the polar re- gion that has not been touched upon since the days of Parry and Franklin, the 1820-1860 period, that Sverdrup at- tacked. The Parry islands ,familiar names in all geographies, lie near the seventy-fifth parallel. of northern lati- tude, and by reason of the various ex- plorations incident to the search for Sir John Franklin, their outlines are fairly well known. Sverdrup has dis- covered, of course, many inaccuracies in the charts of these islands and the waters surrounding them; but the most imporatnt discoveries have been the determination of the western coast of Grant, Grinnell, Ellesmere Land, and the existence of two large island masses west of Grinnell and Ellesmere Land and north of the Parry islands, which have been named Sverdrup is]- ands. Sverdrup himself will not say that his discoveries complete the mapping out of polar lands ,as he suggests some islands still further to the north may be discovered; but others, who take into account the drift of currents in the arctic ocean, believe that, with the Sverdrup islands known, there has been added the last important group to the arctic archipelagoes that skirt the frozen polar sea. “PAA STORHOVE.” Bjornson’s. New Drama Presented at the National Theater. Bjornstjerne Bjornson’s datest dra- ma, “Paa Storhove,” appeared at the book marts of Christiania on the 4th inst., and on the same evening at the National theater. Bjornson calls the work a companion to “Laborernus,” but critics agree that, both’ as a liter- ary production and as an interesting play, the new drama is tar superior to “Laborernus.” The whole house was sold out for the first performance, which was high- ly successful and called forth un- stinted applause. Fru Dybwad and Halfdan Christensen distinguished themselves in their respective 1*es. The action is not remarkably dramat- ic; still, a fire and a suicide tend to! increase the interest of the spectat- ors. The psychological development is said to be well carried out and high- ly interesting. The intrigue in the play is managed by a woman, Fru Maria Ura ,whose propensity for lying, hypocrisy and in- trigue gives form to the play. She is married to the elder of two brothers, who own a factory. With the family of the brothers are their parents, two genial old souls. The father is an am- ateur chemist, bent on discovery and experimenting. His wife, Fru Mar- grete, is a very fine character. Among the visitors is fru Margrete’s brother, Dr. Kann, minister of the interior, whose penetration discovers in Fru Maria the author of the fire. WICKSELL’S VAGARIES. Sweden Urged Voluntarily to Surren- der to the Russian Bear. The utmost astonishment was cre- ated by Prof. Wicksell, of Upsala, pres- ident of the Swedish University union, in the course of a remarkable address before that body, in which he advocat- ed the immediate disarmament of Swe- den, and arguing that it should loyally enter fhe Russian empire as a civiliz- ing force. . This speech has evoked passionate replies from the Sbciai Democratic leaders, who declare that the Swedish workingmen see progress dawning and are determined to defend their coun- try from any sort of aggression. They assert that if it is a noble mission to transform the autocragy from within, /it is equally noble to check its prog: ess from without. | Death of Maurius Gad. Maurius, Gad, chief of one of the de- partments of the Danish finance min- istry, died at Copenhagen on Oct. 28. He was born on the Faeroe islands, where his father was, at that time a clergyman. He tok part in the first Schleswig war ,and afterward served in the war department. Gad was a member of the,folkething from 1858 to 1895 jwith the exception of three years. In Far Northland. sae Dr. Hedin’s Itinerary. Dr. Sven Hedin, famed for his tray- Explorers Believed to Have “Rounded | els and explorations in Central Asia, has begun his lecture tour, which will occupy his time until next spring. His first lecture was delivered before the Swedish Anthropological society, at Stockholm, on..Nov. 7, which was fol: lowed by a public lecture on Nov. 10. On the 14th he appeared in St. Peters- burg. The date for his Copenhagen lecture is Nov. 25, and on Dec. 8 he is due in London. Thence his tour will take him to Newcastle, Aberdeen, Ed- inburg, Dundee and Glasgow. Before returning home for the holidays he will visit Paris and Christiania. After New Year’s he has dates: at Berlin, Dantzig, Hamburg, Frankfort, Leipzig, Dresden, Munick, Stuttgart, Basle, Vi- enna and Budapest. The Venerable Thygesen, None of the world’s legislators and statesmen can compare in age with Tnygesen of Denmark. He is ninety- six years of age, but when the Danish folkething took its final vote on the Danish West Indies treaty, he was on hand to vote against the sale. He was born in Norway when it was a Danish province. With his own eyes he saw Napoleon reviewing his guards, yet to this day the almost centenarian takes a lively interest in public affairs and in agriculture. He has always been a most energetic worker ,and what old Thygesen has done for Denmark will be long remembered. Bismarck was considered an old man, but he retized from politics at the age of seventy- five, and Gladstone was but eighty-five when he left the public service. Danes Ceate Sherman Statue. Danish sculptors will have all the credit for the magnificent Sherman statue in Washington. Rohl-Smith se- cured the commission, but died before he had even completed the sketches. His widow took the work to Bash- brown ,but was not satisfied, and then went to Denmark. She first sought Lauritz Jensen, who had worked with Rohl-Smith. Jensen’ would, however, agree to undertake only the modeling of the statue itself. Stephan Sinding consented to model the figures for the four large groups. Rheumatism kept him from sailing to America, and so he left the finishing touches: to Bonne- sen, who is now in America. In Jail Fifty Years. Johan Henriksen of Lier, Norway, must be considered incorrigible. He is eighty years of age ,and since he was twenty-four he has spent forty- five and a half years in prison serving sentences. Including the times he was held for trial he has been in jail a round fifty years. His crimes were confined largely to theft. After re- lease from his last sentence, in 1900, being then seventy-eight years old, he was placed in the poorhouse, a kfad- ness he returned by setting fire to the buildings. Lament of a Veteran Actor. Gustaf Frederikson, the premier actor of Sweden, who is celebrating the fortieth anniversary of his stage career, says that the theatrical pro- fession’ has declined in Scandinavia. Educated men and women no longer choose a histrionic career ,he declares, but have left acting to mediocre per- sons who have no idea of even the ru- dimentary requirements of artistic pe- sentation of a part. “Co-Eds” in Sweden. Among the big student body at Up- sala university there enrolled this year forty-six ladies. Eleven of these are studying medicine and the others are taking general courses. Not a single one is taking the law course ,though one of the instructors in civil law is a woman, Dr. Elsa Hschelson. The ladies are said to be more at tentive to. their studies than their | classmates of the other sex. Accident to Minister Stang. War Minister Stang, of the Nacwe: gian cabinet, was seriously injured in }an accident while taking a horseback ride in Christiania, Oct. 4. His horse became unmanageable and ran against a tree by the roadside. Minister Stang was struck by a limb and fell uncon- scious to the ground. His collar bone was broken and he received two bad euts on the head. You Don’t Catch Him. “Your husband is a floorwalker in a { department store, isn’t he?” / “Yes... “Then why don’t you have him get up and walk the floor with the baby when he cries?” “I can’t wake him up. When I shake him and tell him what’s the matter, he mumbles sométhing about soothing syrup in the drug department, three aisles down, and then goes to snoring again.”—Chicago Trbune. There Was Danger. Chimmie Fadden (Edward W. Towns+ end,) Mr. Dooley (Finley Peter Dunne,) George Ade and Dinkelspiel (George VY. Hobart) were seated at a table in the Lambs’ club, one afternoon, re- cently, when in walked Henry Dixie, the comedian. He paused, threw up both hands, exclaiming: “The Lord preserve the English language,” and walked out, without a protest from the celebrated quartet, each of whom tried to look innocent.— Virginia Harned Walks Ten Miles, Virginia Harned is one of the New York women who thoroughly enjoys walkiag. She walks frequently ten miles a day when her stage duties are not too onerous.

Please listen to a short talk upon a most vitally important subject—one which is greatly disturbing the busi- ness world to-day. You have doubtless heard of thd word “substitution.” You have prob- ably read that “substitution is fraud.” ‘Tack that saying firmly in your mind and keep it there. It is worth some thing. It is true—almost invariably. You call at a store and ask for an article of a certain brand or manufac- ture, one which has been thoroughly advertised for years, and which has earned an excellent reputation. The dealer says “here’s something just as good for less money.” That dealer thereby usually tells a direct false- hood. He knows that the article which he offers you at a lower price is inferior, but the point is that it yields him a greafer profit; hence his desire to substitute. You may ask if an article is superior just because it is advertised. Yes, it is, and here’s why, The many well- known houses which spend millions of dollars every year in the good pub- lications of the country are managed by men of brains and wide business experience, and these men know only too well that unless an article has merit there is absolutely no business sense in spending good money to ad- vertise it. It does not pay’ to adver- tise any article of general use for a short time only. Every advertiser must wait some time before his adver- tising has created the desired impres- sion and while he is waiting his goods must have time to prove whether or not they are good. /If they are good, they stick; if not, they do not, and if they were not good and did not stick, would this experienced business man continue to spend good money adver- tising the goods—throw good money after bad as it were? Never! He has too much business sense, The qyerage article which you see advertised month after month in good publications is itself good. Buy an advertised article. - It is the true safe way. When you are buying ask for what you want and get what you ask for.
