You don't wait until your hodv ia foul before you cleanse it It la a matter of surprise that many peo ple who are so careful to have clean bodies make no effort to keep the blood clean. Kvcrrone knows that uncleanness breeds dincase: that those who do not keep their bodies in a wholesome 'Condition and woo dwell in filthT surroundings are the first to fall when some epidemic of disease sweeps the country. Hut iota, Diooa is more aan-gvrous- to the individual than a foul body. An unclean body is rather a passive than an active hindrance to health. But unclean blood is an active threat against the very life it makes the body a prepared breed ing place for disease. It is cart of Nature's tlan for human safety that in many cases where the blood is impure or corrupt she sets a sign on the body in proof of the corrupt current that is flowing tnrougn me veins, acroima wun its disfiguring sores and scars, eczema with its irritation, salt-rheum, tetter, erysipelas, boils, pimples and other eruptions are only the outward signs of the impurity of the blood. But often in the earlier or simpler stages of the blood's impurity there are no outward signs oi tms condition: oniy auii, Ian r ii id slutrirish feelinirs. which are com monly attributed solely to the sluggishness of the liver. Of all preparations for purifying . the blood Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discov ery easily takes the first place.

It acts directly on the blood- making glands, increasing tneir activity, and so increasing- the supply of rich, pure blood which is tne me or tne ooay.

Remarkable Kesolts Reached by a Oermsn Scientist la Edncatlsg an Orlolf StslUon at Berlin. By Cable to the Morning Star. Berlin, Aug. 13. Wm. von Oaten, who has for a long time made Investi gations of the intelligence of animals, nas rescued results in educating an Orloff stallion that cause amazement among scientific men and psycholo gists. The horse, besides adding, sub tracting, multiplying and dividinsr sums, does examples involving seve ral of those operatlona and finds square numbers, and not only repeats what ia taught but solves fresh problems put to nim oy examiners in the absence of his master, showing a grasp of the principles of arithmetic. The stallion also forma little sentences, remembers them next day. and discriminates twelve colors and shades, rlvmar their corresponding names. The animal distinguishes musical tones, indicating wnere tney are- situated on- the chromatic scale, and picks out dls cords, designating which to omit In order to restore harmony. The horse communicates by a system of hoof beats, representing the alphabet Prof. Yon Oaten affirms that the horse is as well educated as a boy who has gone to school for the same number of years, and the professor desires that a commission of specialists be selected to take the horse under observation for four weeks. This probably will be done with the view of determining whether the con ventional Idea Is true, that animal In atinot and human Intelligence, are es sentially ainerent. asN Boot for Columbia, s. t.

VA New Or leu us engineer has applied for patents covering an excavating ma chine designed ' especially for digging ditckes for pipe and main laying Cor sewerage and drainage work. It has been submitted- to several -of the lead ing local engineers, who have declared It to be practical and mechanically sound In principle. . The engine and digging and excavat ing machinery are all on one car, which runs on a track over the line of the ditch to be dug. , Sliding stanchions. which can be fixed at the depth re quired, run down the inside, of the side framework of an extension at the rear of the motor section .of the vehicle There are two of these stanchions on each side. Between the .two nearest the body of the vehicle extends an end less chain of 'chill point steel picks. with slanting knives among the picks, which work In channel bearings. This cutting appliance operates perpen(Uci- larlv down. The other pair os" stan chions carry an endless chain of four teen Inch scoop backets, which pick up the earth or other material cut, the buckets rising between the two Bystems of stanchions and damping the ma terial behind. There it is caught by a carrier of adjustable length. At the bottom the stanchions are braced by a sheet steel hopper, the edge of which is on a DerDendlcnlar line with the descending picks," so that the picks work continually against a straight wall of earth. The material as it Is cat Is carried by the picks Into the body of the hopper and forced Into the backets as they turn'unaer tne power end of the rear stanchions. The excavation at the starting point may be made either by hand or by the machine itself cutting directly down. When the cut Is at the right depth the stanchions are pinned and the auto matic propelling connections made. When this Is done the steel hopper is fixed under the stanchion ends so that a smooth, clean bottom as well as smooth sides of the cut Is guaranteed. With the propelling connections on. the car may be made to travel at great er or less speed, according to the hard ness of the material cut. A part of the propulsion apparatus consists of a drum and cable, and in the event of the picks striking any unusually hard material, such as rocks or stumps. there Is an automatic release for the drum and cable, so that the pull against the wall of the cut Is instantly relieved. THIRSTY TRAMPS FOILED. Simple Lock For tie Dooratep Milk Bottle. The householder who docs not rise with the coming of the milkman not infrequently finds that his dally supply of milk left In bottles on the doorstep has been "lifted" by some predatory tramp. To avert such catastrophes is MILK BOTTLE UNDKB KEY. the business of the device we have here presented, the inventor's Idea be ing that the bottle shall be securely at tached to the door In such a manner that it can be easily removed by a per son Inside the house, but cannot be tak en by a passerby. The lock consists of two slotted plates for opposite faces of the door, with a spring hook between the plates. When the loop formed at the end of the bale on the bottle Is Inserted In the outer plate the book rises and then falls Into the opening, where It remains, securely locking the bottle until the householder lifts the hook from, the inside, remov ing the bale from the slotted plate, and carries the bottle of milk Into the house. When a man has met with bad luck It helps him very much' to bear the mis fortune to have a kind word at sym pathy even If it Is "not coupled with substantial financial help. About the meanest man in the world is he who will take advantage of bis neighbor's trouble tp say that he has got just what he deserves. Taken aa a whole, the native Ameri can hates to milk a cow, and the prin cipal thing which operates to keep the dairy business within Its present limi tations is the difficulty of employing men to do this wort. As for Ameri can girls and women, nine out of ten of them would never for a moment think of such a thing. If your small boy shows a natural aptitude for any particular line of hon orable employment you Just encourage and educate 'him along that line, no matter what it may be. The attempt or parents to make their boyB take up lines of occupation for which they have no native liking is the primary cause of no end of misfit's in business life. We should not go to law with a neigh bor If it could possibly be avoided. It is far better to adjust differences Without recourse to law, even if the neighbor does think he has got the best of the deal.
