Weak
Worn out, nervous women, receive
criticism where. they should have
sympathy. They cannot help being
nervous, if their blood is impure.
then 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—
parilla does, and it! has proved the true
nerve tonic because it is the true blood
purifier, and the ‘sOlaee, comfort and

Hood’s Sarsaparilla has done for me and
my family. Two years ago I was in a weak,
nervous condition and had dreadful pal-
pitations or jumping of my heart, fol-
lowed by sinking spells, which'would last
for several minutes. Sometimes it would
seem as though I would never come out
of them. I was treated by the best physi-
cians, but only for a-Iittle time did they
help me. I seemed to be growing worse
,instead of better. I would often seem
hungry, but when I ate, no matter how
little, it would cause me such misery that
I was often wicked enough to wish my-
self dead. I had that

ful distress in my stomach. I had given
up all hopes of ever beingifgvell, when
my mother wished me to try. Hood’s
Sarsaparilla. I consented, to please her,
and before I had taken the whole of one
bottle I could see I was improving, and
soon was indeed very much better. Its
effects have been truly wonderful and I
hope this letter may be the means of help-

CAPE COD TERRAPINq-im
Interesting Facts About a. Very
Popular Reptile.
The “Dian-mind Back" Aftords a Com-'
fort'able Living to Those Who
Are Engaged in Cap-
turing It. '
It will be a great shock to the pride of
Maryland and Pennsylvania to learn
that terrapin are caught on the coast
of Massachusetts and that they com-
mand a higher price in the New York
market than those from anywhere else.
Where the Massachusetts “diamond
backs” come from or when they come
or whether .they are natives of these
waters are questions that have never
been answered. Indeed, naturalists
seem to have entirely overlooked, un-
til very recently, the fact that the ter-
rapin was to be found on the Massa~
chusetts coast. ' '- -
When the presence of, terrapin was
brought to the attention of a few men
who were interested in natural history
it was thought at. first that the reptiles
had migrated from the south. But many
of the terrapin were fully grown, and
as a. full-grown terrapin' is believed to
be not less than 50 years old it was con-
cluded that they were probably natives
of Massachusetts. If this conclusion is
the correct one it is the more remark-
able that the fashionable turtle- man-
aged to keep himself‘ out of text-books
on natural history.
Terrapin were first discovered in Mas-
sachusetts by a southern negro, Demp-
ster Hill, who happened to see several
of the “diamond backs” sunning them-
selves on a sandbar. He had not lived
in the south for nothing, and, recogniz-
ing the value of his find, he said not a,
word to anybody, but suddenly devel-
oped remarkable energy.
Like most of his race he'did not worry
about the future, and, when he had
caught a. dozen or twoterrapin, he. sold
them and lived on the proceeds until
his funds needed repletion, when he be
came again energetic.
Hill made a. very comfortable living
in this way for several years before his
white neighbors awoke to their oppor-
tunities.
This was a number of years ago, and
when Hill died his mantle fell on a
while man, who is now the principal
terrapin fisher on Buzzard’s bay.
Terrapin are to be found all along the
Cape Cod coast as well as in Buzzard's
w~ _
pecially for constipation. We give Hood’s
medicmes great praise,.and if anyone
complains of feeling badly, I say ‘You
should take Hood’s and only Hood’s.”’

The Saddle
Question.
This is an illustration
,, , ~ of the old style saddle.
If you will observe it
carefully you will note
that it fits like a glove
(and a saddle should
not). It presses the sen-
sitive parts, causes sorc-
ness, stillness and chaf-
ing, and has made cycl—
ing to a certain extent
injurious, because few
could enjoy a long ride
without fear of injury.
All this is now changed. Here is repre-
sented the perfect saddle—the Christy
Anatomical Saddle, _
sho'wingthe pelvis asit ' v'
rests on the pads. The
Christy Anatomical
Saddle is the only
saddle that is built
right. Made of metal,
of light weight, cannot
warp or change its
shape, has pads that
rest the entire body,
does not press the sen-
sitive parts, prevents
stiffness, and m a k e s
cyclin'r a pleasure. .

' something of a. suggestion of-the salt
bay. This year both the “diamond”
and smooth back terrapin have been
very scarce in these waters or‘else the
fishermen have not had their usual suc—>
cess in finding them.
Twelve years ago terrapin were
caught in great quantities in Barnsia-
ble, South Wellfleet and other points
on Buzzard’s bay, but most of the fish-
ing is now done in East W'areham and
vicinity, where the most expert “dia-
mond back” hunter on the coast-lives.
Terrapin are known on Cape Cod as
“turpin” and the visitor from the city
who gives the word three syllables is
regarded as hopelessly ignorant. The
native of Maryland prefers to speak of
this delectable inhabitant of a shell as
a “bird,” possibly because its flavor has
marsh in the early morning. _
It is in the salt marshes bordering
the creeks which have their outlet in
Buzzard’s bay that the choicest “tur-
pin” find their homes in the winter
months. To protect themselves from
the cold they dig down in the sand,
sometimes to a depth of five feet, and lie
dormant until spring. In the interval
they go without food. With the ap-
proach of warm weather appetite re-
turns, they resurrect themselves from
their sandy graves and until winter
comes again they swim about in the
water, catching the oysters, crabs and
fish on which they subsist or lie sunning
themselves on sandbars for hours——

A careful mother had impressed
upon her little boy the necessity of
ejecting the skins of grapes, and a few
days afterwards she told him the story
of Jonah and the whale. _
“The whale is a very large monster,"
said the mother, “and he swallowed.
J onah.”
“Did he swallow other men, too?"
asked the little'boy. . .
“Well, I suppose he did,” continued
the mother, whowas somewhat 111'-
doubt; and while she was hesitating
about the continuation of the story, the
boy interrupted:
