Worn out, nervous women, receive
criticism where they should have
sympathy. They cannot help being
nervous, if their' blood is impure.
\Vhen the blood fails to feed the
nerves upon proper nourishment What
can you expect but nervous prostra-
tion, debility and nervous headaches?
If the cause is found in impure blood,
the cure must be in making the blood
pure. This is just what Hood’s Sarsa—

HEROIC AMAZONS.
Cuban Women Who* Fight
Their ‘ Country.
The Splendid Courage of One Woman
Who Faced an Army—Her Dy-
ing Act Was the Killing of
a Soldier.
The Cuban amazons recently have
been playing a prominent part in the
fights betwwen the insurgents and the
Spanish. These women, many of whom
have husbands in the ranks of the army
of‘ Cuba, have exhibited upon frequent
occasions courage, endurance, 'and
fighting skill to a greater extent than
very many of the men.
The amazons of Cuba are not, as a
rule,-_remarkable for personal beauty
or cleanliness. Anything in the nature
of a dress does not prevent them from
fighting. As a rule, they are negresses,
strong of limb and quick of action, and
able to use a machete, rifle, revolver,
or knife with the best of the men. They
are to be found in nearly all the in-
surgent camps and are increasing in
.numbers. “'he-n ‘not otherwise en-
gaged, they tend the sick and wounded,
mend and wash clothes, or cook the
meat, when fires are permitted and
fed is procurable. When regular sup~
plies are inadequate to the demand,
which is not infrequent, the amazons
chew sugar cane, and are thankful to
get it, and ride or tramp pluckily along
with the regular Cuban troops. If
there is fighting to do, they go into the
thick of it with energy and dash.
There is, or was, one woman, at least,
among them who may deserve more
than passing notice. She came to the
front in a recent engagement between
the Spanish troops and a number of
insurgents at Olayita. T’he fighting
began with the usual wild firing at
long range, but gradually the combat-
ants, few in number on either side, by
force of circumstances got nearer to
each other, and then, 'as usual when
they began to see the whites of each
other’s eyes, the insurgents went to
cover and the triumphant soldiers
dashed onward in pursuit. But all the
insurgents did not melt away. One of
them a tall, fine-looking woman, bright
of eye, well-built and looking like a
heroine from the top of her head to
the soles of her naked feet, stood her
ground bravely, calling first taunting:
ly and then in grand despair upon her
fleeing companions to fight like men.
They paid no heed to her. and the Span~
iards crept closer and closer from bush
to bush.
Then this woman determined toll
show men how Cuban amazons can die.
“’ith her back against a. tree she stead-
ily loaded and fired her carbine, tak-
ing the cartridges from the bosom of
her cotton gown, almost the only gar-
ment she wore. So long as the gun
worked she pumped lead at the Span-
iards, keeping them well at bay. But
the old carbine finally got out of order,
and she threw it away with angry cou-
tempt, drew a revolver, and shouted:
“Long live free Cuba!”
The Spaniards, - seeing the carbine
thrown to the ground, made a simul—
taneous dash forward, firing repeated-
ly as they did so: The Cuban woman
calmly awaited their approach, and
when they were within range of her
pistol the amazon gave another cheer
for Cubaland again opened fire until she
fell pierced by four Mauser bullets.
Then there was another rush for-‘
ward of the Spaniards, and the (lying
woman, half rising with difficulty on
her elbow, fired her last shot at the
nearest soldier of Spain, killed him in-
stantly, and sank to rise no more, with
a faint cheer for free Cuba on her lips.
This is only one of a number of in-
stances of how the Cuban amazons can
fight. and die. Another amazon who re-
cently kept at bay the Spanish troops
was the daughter of the insurgent lead-
er Soccorras. She fought to the last
as gallantly as any of the men, and
when her last» cartridge was fired she
gracefully gave up her revolver to the
Spaniards who had surrounded her, rc—
marking, as she pointed to the soldiers
she had killed: “I hope you will make
as good use of it as I have.”—St. Louis
Post—Dispatch.

The Influence of Winds on Vegetation.
At a. meeting of the international
meteorological congress—a. report of
which has recently been published——
considerable attention was given to the
effect of winds. It states that the de-
struction of the ferests is responsible
for many of the cold waves, which we
experience. Special mention is made of
the disappearance of peach treesfrom
Michigan, which is said to be traceable
directly to the deforestation of the
state and the ur'i: =~rruptxed rush of
'cold winds. The Lot, sweeping winds
of the plains,“.-.: .m'n as desiccating
winds, are held accountable for a loss
of something like 21,000,000 bushels
of corn in the state of Kansas alone.
The absence of timber belts and wind-
breaking forests 'allows these desiccat—
ing winds to sweep over many miles
of cultivated land. These winds may
reach a. temperature of 108 or 109 de-
grees, withi‘humidity not over 20 or
25 per,cent. at the outside. This report
recommends extensive planting of tim-
ber as the best protection against cold
waves and hot winds.——N. Y. Ledger.
The Compass Plant.
The “compass plant” is one of the old-
est creations of the vegetable kingdom.
It derives its name from the fact that its
leave-s always point directly north and
south. So that if you are out on a west
ern prairie and lose your way just look
for one of these plants and remember
that they always point in the directions
indicated. Botanists call this curious
plant “Selphium Laciniatum.” It is
unpretentious in appearance and bears
yellow flowers that-are not unlike field
daisies. It has a remarkably thin leaf,
so thin as to' be noticeable even to the
untutored eye. The “compass plant” is
really a western flower and is indigen-
ous to the prairies of that sections.—

There Were Some Drawbacks to Her Gen-
. orally Good Health.
Olersr Parlin had reached the age
of 93 years, and her two daughters,
both women of nearly ,60, were often
heard to say that the old: woman “took
as much comfort as anybody.” Their
unchanging affection failed to see the _
changes that were so pathetically ap-
parent to others.
“Juno Ann' and I don’t get about
so much as we Would like to, on ac~
count of mother,” Mrs. Patten re-
marked, in response to an invitation
to visit a relative in a neighboringtown.
“You see Juno Ann, living next door
as she does, takes about as much care of
mother as I do, so it sort of ties us
both.” =—:'~--;.,-
“Isn’t your mother well?”
“Yes, land sakes. mother’s as well
as can be; or she would be, if twa’n’t
for her age. I tell ’cm mother enjoys
as much as most of fem. She can't
see as well as she used to, of course;
fact is, she can’t see much of any; but
she’s real well.” _. ~-
“Mother don’t seem to hear so well
as she did,” ventured Juno Ann, “but
I s’pose that’s no more than natural.”
“She’s- a dreadful smart woman, if
she is my mother,” rejoined Mrs. Pat-
ten; “and it’s wonderful for a woman
of her age.”
“I suppose she enjoys going about to
see the neighbors,” suggested the vis-
itor. ’
“Pity sake! Mot-her hasn’t set foot
out of the house for more’n two years;
we wouldn’t dare trust her. The rheu
matism has sort: of crippled her up;
but besides that, I don’t see but she
seems about as smartas ever; don’t you '
think she does, Juno Ann?”
“Yes, she seems real well, consider-
ing her age. Her food don’t agree
with her, and she doesn’t relish her
meals as well as she might, but beyond
that she gets along real well,” replied
Juno.
“I suppose she likes to have people
run in and visit with her as well as
ever," remarked the visitor.
“Well, sne would like to see people as
well as ever, mother would, if she had
her faculties; but you see, she doesn’t

KNOWLEDGE IS NOT' WISDOM.
Men of Great Learning Sometimes Lose
Sight of the Fact.
In the recent memoirs of Dean Buck-
land an amusing picture is given of the
antipathy felt 50 years ago by the 01d
classical scholars at Oxford to the new
scientific learning. They described it
as “mischievous and absurd.” “’hen
Buckland once went to Rome for a long
vacation, one of the elder (lens is said .
to have exclaimed: .
“Well, Buckland has gone to Italy.
Thank heaven we shall bear no more
of his silly geology!"
Learned men do not always appreci-
ate the achievements of their fellows.
It is said that a friend brought Milton’s
“Paradise Lost" to a great Scotch
mathematician, who remarked when
he had finished it: '
“It’s verra pretty; but, mon, what
does it prove?” .
An American who stated recently in
a London club that he was going to
Enfield in search of the grave of
Charles Lamb, was astonished to hear
him contemptuously described by an
English statesmen as “a flignty writer
of silly papers, in which there was no
mention of politica' questions of his
day.”
Paganini while in England was
mentioned by a. great jurist in a letter
as "a poor fiddicrwvho had driven the
town mad with his squeaks and
scrapes," and he, no doubt, would have
described his critic as soulless and deaf
to the highest expression of emotion.
An anecdote is told of Henry Clay.
in the zenith of his popularity and
fame. Meeting an old schoolmate at a
reception he expressed regret that
another friend, a mutual acquaintance,
whose career promised to. be brilliant,
had given up his life to the raising of
pigs and making a fortune. The friend
presently met the gentleman referred
to, who exclaimed, with a shake of the
head: .
“Poor Henry Clay! He might have
made a good stock grower, and be a
comfortable planter now, if he had not
wasted his time in politics." .
We are all vain of our own little field
of knowledge. We should remember
knowledge is not wisdom, and that the
wise man notes and finds lessons of
profit in the harvests of his neighbors’
fields as well as in those of his own.—

Origin of Lynch Law. ,
It is said that lynch law had its origin
in Virginia. Charles ‘Lynch, whose
name has been given to the summary
proceedings known as acts of lynch law,
was a revolutionary soldier, and after
. the war took up his residence in Pittsyl-
:5
vania county. This region became in-
fested with bands of torics and outlaws,‘
whose deprcdations among the peeple
of the lower parts of North Carolina. ,
Carolina and Virginia caused a reign of
terror. Col. Lynch organized a body 0f
patriotic citizens, men of character and
property. When any of the marauders
fell into his hands they were not taken ,
at once to a tree or tied to a. stake and
shot, but were given a. trial by jury
selected from Lynch’s men. If the
prisoners were found guilty, punish-
ment was inflicted upon the spot. The
general impression has been that in all
cases of lynch law the penalty Was
death. One who knew Col. Lynch well
was assured by him that prisoners
were frequently let off with a‘severe
flogging and liberated on condition
that they would leave the. country.——

A MEXICAN CATHEDRAL.‘
It Is Lined with Millions Worth of Pre-
cions‘Metals.
During a journey from Panama, west
and north, overland through the Span-
ish Main to Paso del Norte, Mexico,
opposite El Paso, 'I‘ex., I was bound to
see not a little of the churches and the
priests, and to hear no end of stories of
the doings in connection with them,
but of all that I saw and heard nothing
seemed quite so impressive as my first
glance into the great cathedral at Pueb-
lo, Mexico. People throughout the
journey had told me often that of all
churches of the region this was the
most magnificent, invariably explain-
ing their admiration by saying that
here was a church so rich that in spite
of los‘ses of millions of dollars’ worth
of gold and silver taken fromit by the
Mexican rulers, there remained no less
than $11,000,000 worth of precious
metals within the walls, besides other
articles of value. That about every
English-speaking man I met in the
Spanish Main should have‘gauged the
interest in the church by the amount of
precious metal“ within its wall was in it-
self a matter worth considering, and so,
although not especially interested in
somebody else’s hoarded wealth, I went
to the cathedral first of all after reach‘
ing Pueblo. It was about ten o’clock
in the morning—an hour when I was
likely to find few people there. Pass-
ing through what seemed to be the
most-used entrance, I found a few feet
beyond the door a. small stand draped
with a. cloth that fell to the stone flag-
ging. In the center of the stand was
a plate of solid gold, 61/2 inches in
diameter and ' an eighth of an inch
thick. On this gold plate, which was
placed there to receive contributions,
lay a. copper cent of the coinage of the
country. ' ,
Quite a number of visitors came and
went while I was in the cathedral, and a
considerable portion of them comment-
ed in English on what they saw. I
heard one nice-looking old lady say to
another nice old lady: “If Brother Tal-
mage could see this—millions of gold.
on the walls, and on the saints—isn’t
it beautiful?—but so pagan!” I saw
other strangers come in, and after one
comprehensive look around walk across
the flagging and kneel before an image,
with every appearance of sincere dc-
vot-ion. Others, the majority of the
foreigners who entered, in fact, looked
about with idle curiosity for a time and
then went out. But so far as I ob—
served, no one except myself gave any
attention to the striking portrayal of
the wealth of the recipient and the pov-
erty of the donor which the gold plate
and the copper cent afforded. And that
seemed too bad, for if it be agood, prac-
tical, spnsiblc thing to pile up wealth
in a church building, penny by penny,
then here was an example for all man-
kind; whilc if there is anything that
ought to be criticised in such doings,
then here was the object lesson—N. Y.

- VIEWS ON CATS.
Leaves from Little Tommy’s Composition
Book.
This is an old subject which is liked
by girls, but not by boys.
.. The proper name for cats is, I believe,
felines. I don’t know whatthcy call
them felines, for, but they do, just the
same.
You' can find eats all over the world,
with the exception of our back yard.
Some cats live on milk, fish, meat,
mice and that kind of stuff, but all cats
that I've ever seen seem to live on the
back fences.
I have heard of cats of nine tails and
cats of nine lives, but I’ve never met any
of ’em. All the cats that I ever had
anything to do with had only one tail
and one life, and a mighty short life at
that.
They say it’s good luck to have a cat.
follow you. I suppose they mean it’s
good luck for the cat; for ninety-nine
times out of one hundred when a cat
follows you you remember about it’s
being unlucky to have a cat follow you;-
and you pick the eat up when no one is
looking, take it to your house and give
it a good home. ‘
I know of a. cat that was fooled
once. The gump followed me, and I
never had any luck afterward. Neither
did the cat. He went where all good
eats go—over in the vacant lot.
Some people stuff their cats after
they die. We tried to keep a eat more
times than I have marbles. But they all
died. The majority of them were stuffed
—-in the ash barrel. Nobody seemed to
know what made the cats die but Skin-
ny Snigglcs, Brick Taylor and I.
Cats like to rub up against a fellow,
but I never saw a cat that wanted to rub
up against me more than once.
I would rather be a dog than a cat.
Dogs don’t like cats. ,
I don’t believe in sicking dogs on cats.
.[ believe it’s cruelty to animals to sick
a dog on a cat. The best way to do is
to hit the cat with a club. Cats like to
yell all night.
in the house before the fire and to hear
him yell at night you would never be-
lieve it to be the same cat, and you can’t
find anybody that can make you be-
lieve it, either. It’s always the other
fellow’s cat that makes the noise—San

Our Vessels in the Lead.
The Vulcan, 6,620‘tons, with a radius
of action of 12,000 miles at ten knots ah
hour, or 3,000 at 18 knots, is regarded
as one of the most capable ships in the
British navy. Her French compeer is
the Tage, 7,255 tons, which has a radius
of 6,500 miles at ten knots. The Italia,
15,000 tons, Italy’s best ship, has a coal
capacity of 8,036 miles at ten knots
an hour. From this it will be seen that
no European navy has any vessel that
can compare with the Oregon and other
vessels of the United States navy which
can steam 16,000 miles at ten knots an
hour.—N. Y. Tribune.

PARADISE-AT i—‘HE NORTH POLE.
—___.._
Eden Was Located There.
In an interesting and highly instruc-
tive article Edward S. Martin, in the
Ladies’ Home Journal. reviews 'the
numerous theories advanced by Sci--
entists in the endeavor to solve the per-
plexing problem as to the exact locali-
ty of the Garden of Eden. After sift-
ing the theories the writer concludes
that the question is no nearer answered
than it was two thousand years ago,
and that there are no present indica-
nitely Settled by any man. To- one of
Mr. Martin thus refers: The north pole
will seem at first thought to [the av-
site on earth for paradise to have occu-
pied. Nevertheless several sober and
thoughtful books and pamphlets have
been written in support of the north
polc’s pretensions. The north pole
nowadays is bitter cold, but it has not
always been so. Geologists tell-us that
the earth was excessively hot when it
first began its course—much too hot to
admit of the presence of‘ any living
creatures, except, perhaps, a salaman—
dc‘r‘. As it grew cooler vegetatibn be~
gun on it,- and then it began to be
peopled, first with fishes, and then
with birds and beasts, finally with man.
The first spot on earth to get cool
enough to use was the north pole. In,
the process of time it got too cob-l, but
there mustdiavc been a long period
when the north pole was tin; most
comfortable part of the world. During
this period, many eminent geologists
believe, there existed around the north
pole a continent now submerged, and
.on that continent our progenitors
were comfortable in their firs» home.
It is known With entire certainty that
' the polar region was once warm enough
for tropical vegetation to grow them.
There was light enough also for, such
vegetation—abundant light. indeed, for
all uses, and plenty for primeval man.
Geology tells us that man inigl‘.+ ‘:-----

OPALS ARE NOT IJNLUCKY.’
Superstitions Connected with Such Gems
have No Foundation.
“The superstition which causes peo-
ple to regard Opals with awe as the
cause of ill luck and even death,” said a
jeweler, according: to the Washington
Post, the other day,“is due to a. peculiar
observation made years ago. Opals
were considerably in uSe in Venice dur-
ing the plague. and it was noticed there
in the hospitals that before death tuc
stone would somewhat brighten upon
the victim's finger. It never seemed to
occur to the people that the illness
could. produce a. glow of color. They
took it for granted that the stone occa-
sioned the illness. As a matter of fact.
Opals are affected by heat, even by that
of the hand, and the fever, being at
its height just before death, caused the
colors to shine. with unwon'ted clear-
ness. This confirmed the superstition,
and to this day there are sane and able-
bodicd pcOplc who believe that a chip of
the stone in the house can cause calami-
ties. Probably another rcason for the
distrust excited in Opals is the fact that
they change and lose their color. That
is due to the softness and porousness of
the material and its capacity both for
absorbing water and of parting with
what it has, one of which tends to
make it dull and the other chalky and
opaque. They have been known to be
carefully cut and laid away, and upon
opening the paper had crumbled into
dust within a few weeks. A species of
opal known as the hydrophane, found
in small quantities lately in Colorado,
has wonderful powers of absorption. In
its usual state it- is of a yellowish, waxy
tint, but when water is dropped upon
it the tint passes slowly away, and
from being translucent it becomes
transparent. On exposure to the air
the water evaporates in an hour, leav-
ing the stone as it was before.”
ATE ’SWANS AND H ERONS.
Why Not Now Have Roast Peacock with
All His Feathers On.
In the sixth year of the troublous
reign of King Edward IV. the arch-
bishop of York gave a. huge feast, the
menu of which has been preserved.
says the Lon-don Queen]
Among the dishes there were put on
the tables two hundred and sixty-four
cranes, two hundred and four bitterns
and four hundred heronshaws. How
many cranes and bitterns could be col-
lected now from the whole of these
islands?
But why should we not extend our
present limited range of edible crea-
tures and include at least some of those
which our ancestors loved? Crane, bit-
tern. heron, swan and peacock; all
these are birds which used to be'pre-
sented at dinners.
Why should we not at least try the
three which remain to use? Swans are
as easy to keep as ducks; peacocks
might, I suppose, be multiplied; there
are still plenty of heron.
I, believe that at St. John’s college,
Cambridge, they do still serve up réast
cygnet, for the college possesses swans.
Why should we not have Cygnet in
season just like roast duck?
And think of the lordly peacock pre-
sented with all his feathers and his
tail outspread; they killed him, skinned
him, roasted him, and then tied him
again. in his skin with his feathers ar-
ranged. And then they set that dainty
carved him—but I believe you did not
~ carve a. peacock—you displayed him.
