All Her Life,
Here is another ease showing that
there are few remedies which cure deep-
seated blood diseases. Eczema is one
of the most obstinate blood troubles.
S. S. S. wipes out completely this dis-
ease, as well as all other evidences of
impure blood whether obstinate or mild.
There are few men better known all
over DeKalb county than Mr. E. D. Jen-
kins who resides at Lithonia Georgia.
He is the owner of a (juarry of
the celebrated Lithonia granite, which
is so extensively used in several
States, and is acknowledged to have
no superior as a paving stone. His
family has lived- in DeKalb for forty
years an-l everybody knows them.
"Ever since she was a year old," he
said, in a recent interview, "my
daughter, Ida, has suffered from Ec-
zema, and I hfcve never heard of a worse
case of this dreadful disease. For thir-
'! v > i/
IDA jr.XKIN'S.
teen years she has been badly broken
cut all over her bo£y, causing her un-
told suffering, and frequently rendering
her unable to attend school. Her arms
and limbs would crack open and bleed,
then drv up and scale off by the hand-
ful, and at one time an awful sore ap-
peared on h.er ear, which became severe-
ly inflamed and almost dropped off.
The disease also broke out on her head
and her hair was a continuous mass of
scales. Her condition was truly pitia-
ble.
"Of course we have done all we could
to relieve her, and have given her al-
most every known treatment. She has
taken potash mixtures and various salves
and external applications by the whole-
sale, and almost every so-called blood
remedy, all without the slightest
benefit, and year by year we could not
feel the slightest encouragement that
she would ever be well. I was advised
several times to send herto Hot Springs,
and also to a celebrated spring in Michi-
gan, and was told that this was the only
chance on earth of her ever being cured,
as the disease was too aggravated to be
checked by medicines.
"A few months ago, someone recom-
mended S..S. S., and as soon as her sys-
tem had taken on the effects of this
medicine, an improvement was noticed.
She grew better all the while and con-
tinued to improve in every way We
were delighted to see her so much let-
ter and for the first time felt that she
would get well. The medicine war. con-
tinued a while longer, and now she is
cured sound and well, her skin is clear
and pure, and she has been saved from
what threatened to blight her life for-
ever. The cure is all the more remark-
able because she inherited the disease,
which has been in our family for several
generations, and I am happy to find
in S. S. S. a cure for a diseas which
all the specialists iu the world fail to
cure. I consider S. S. S. a most wonder-
ful remedy, and it certainly has no equal
for deep-seated blood diseases which all
other remedies do not seem to touch."
This experience is like that of all others
who seek relief from the many so-called
blood purifiers, only to be discouraged.
It is^)ut folly to expect a cure from this
dreadful disease by tho use of salves,
lotions, or any external application.
The disease is in the blood, and
only a blood remedy can eliminate it.
S. S. S. is a real blood remedy, guaran-
teed purely vegetable, and for real deep-
•eatcd blood diseases, has no equal. It
cores permanently Scrofula, Tetter,
Rheumatism, and all of the many blood
diseases. It has made some truly re-
markable cures of Cancer, full accounts
of which can he had on application; our
valuable l>ooks on blood ami skin dis-
eases will also be sent free to any ad-
dress. Swift Specific Company, Atlanta,
Georgia.

THE WAR SCARE.
The President's messaKe of lust Wod-
nesdayon the Venezuelan question struck
the country all in a heap. From his re
cord of supine acquiescence for three
years, to any dictate of Great Britiiin
his awakenms; has been extreme and
startlmu;. While his position, a MHIW
stand on the Monroe doctrine, i« one
that meets unive sal approval, the Con-
gress now in seFsion will hold him
straight in line. We append the promi-
nent editorial opinions from the iiromi*
nent papers of the country.
Detroit Tribune (Rep )—Tlie Rubicon
has been crossed, and iher" in no buck
waid step to take. Then- in no lime for
arKUiuentu, either in Coupes or .•ii".. , ng
the people, touch ing the Midlciency of
the casus belli It is the one duty of
CouKress to stand Urmly in support of
the President, and the duty of tlie IKM)
f ile to sustain both to thw uttermost dol
ar of money ami drop of blood.
Nashville Americau (Dm.)—Uncle
Sam lo John Bull: '•Hands olT. old njanl
Quit trying to run over little Venezuela.
She is our sister, and if necessary I will
fight for hor and her rights.'*
Toledo Blade (Jfep.)—Now ihnt Mr
Cleveland seems to have a sudden ac-
cession of right patriotic feeling, be
should'still further commend hiuihvlf to
the American people by promptly re -
calling Ambassador Bayard.
Denver Times (i2ep.)—President Cleve-
land's messaue lo Congress upon the
Venezuela disput" is more patriotic and
squarely American than any of his pre-
vious public utterances.
Orand Rapids Press (Rep )—If it must
come to a war with England, it is to be
hoped some arranpementB can be, mnde
with Ambassador Bayard to induce him
to obey the neutrality laws.
Rochester Democrat and Chronicle
(Rep)—Fretddent Cleveland's special
message lo Congress on the Venezuelan
dispute rings . ound and true. Vigorous
and dignified, with a refreshiuK hint of
pugnacity,it voices admirably the senti-
ment of the A moncan people, and tho
stern declaration of purpose will awak-
en a responsive thrill in every loyal
heart.
New York Recorder {Rep )—LordSalis-
burj-saja; "Times have changed since
the* Monroe doctrine was promulgated.'
Bur the doctrine has not changed with
'them, as he will find out.
St. Paul Globe (Dem )—We can have
no European rule on this side of tii'
seas. B>? the consequences Vhat they
may, there we take our stand, the
guardian of own future, willing to abide
by any fortune to pregerye the intecnty
of this Nation against Insidious advances
aa well as assault by force of arms.
Cleveland Leader (Rep )—The Leader
has had fivqueut occasion to condemn
Grover Cleveland's foreign policy. We
believe that h.; has b stand he has taken with respect'
to tho Venezuelan question.
PitUburg Post [Dem '—The lime is
here to redeem our seventy years' talk
of the Monroe doctrine with positive
deeds worthy of a great nation, con-
scious of us rights and of its power to
make those rights good.
Kansas City Times (Dem )-N'o truly

The Twelve Day* Sareieitlng Cli^l-frnns
Supposed to lie Indi'-ex Fur tbe t-nsuln^
Year—Curious Customs ami Iteliefs of
Many Lands.
The 12 days from Dec. t > Jan. (!
0
havo long been recognized as indices nf
tho weather during the following year.
Tho nncicnt texts referred to distinctly
assort this, a Sanscrit proverb running
thus, "The 1-' nights are an image of
tho year." Another text from tho same
sources evidently refers to the same pe-
riod, "The Rhibhus (storm demons)
sleep for 12 nights and days in tho
house of the sun god Savilar."
In northern Germany it is snid that
as tho weather is during each of the 12
days, so it will bo during the corre-
sponding mouths of the year to come.
A liko belief exists to this day in Lan-
cashire and Northamptonshire, Eng-
land, nnd a very old writer tiiiUO) re-
cords tho current notion in his day that
tho 12 days served as an index of the
coming year's weather. It was said in
ono English port that if tho windMilow
hard ou the fifth night (Dec. 80), ships
at sen would bo in great peril the com-
ing year.
Tho inhabitants of the Vosges moun-
tains restrict this prophi'sying period to
thut of our holidays, from Christmas to
Now Year's, and are willing only to
say that these six days indicate the
character of the weather for tho succeed-
ing sis months.
In cue part, of our own country it is
said that "the first three d;.ys of Janu-
ary rule the coming three mouths,"
while in anotiier place tho 12 days are
said to bo tho "keys of tho year."
Of New Year's day ilsolf we havo
the authority cf a very old weather
prophet—tho authbr of tho "Shepherd's
Kalendar"—for tho generally ominous
portents to be drawn from the weal hor
on that day, "If Now Year's day in the
morning open with dusky red clouds, il
denotes strife and debates among the
great ones and many robberies that
year." More recently it is said of this
day, "If the morning of Now Year's
day is red, it portends foul weather and
great need." While of tho second day
of the yoar it is said, "As the weather
is this day, so it will be in September."
In the "Book of Presidents" (prece-
dents), 1P14, Jan. 1,. 2, 8, 4 and 5 are
set down as unlucky days. Another
chronicle says: "Jaivuury.—Of this first
month, the opening day, aud 'seventh,
like a sword will slay."
The first| lay of the year is often re-
garded as tho proper time to make cer-
tain divinations with reference to many
events affecting the future.' In North-
amptonshire the master of tho family
then tempts fate by opening tho Bible
with his eyes shut und obtaining from
the passage finat touched with his finger
some indication of the events of the
coming year.
Among tho Wends " young maidens
hasten the advent of the chosen husband
by going to tho henhouse on New Year's
eve, striking the perch right among the
hens, while repeating to themselves
the following doggerel:
If cockles tho hen.
Yon will have a man;
If cackles the hen.
Who knows when?
Certain observances are supposed to
obtain luck for the year following. In
ono part of modern Greece all in the
house go out early New Year's morn-
ii.g, then returu to the dwelling bearing
each a branch on which-the leaves are
well dried. These are cast on the open
fire, each wishing at the same time
good luck to tho family. The drier the
leaves, the greater the flame and the
better the augury.
In the north of England new clothes
we put ou for luck the first day of tho
year.
An odd ceremony is recorded of ono
locality in England. Bands of straw
were put under the feet ou New Year's
day while at table. When the meal was
finished, one person got under tho table
und another oue sat ou his back aud
drew out fhe bauds of straw. These
were taken to the orchard and bound
round trees, which were thereby insured
to bear a full crop of fruit the next
year.
In parts of France it is regarded as
unlucky to lend anything on New
j tear's day.
The fire must bu watched with great
, uare on the first day of tho year, lu Lan-
cashire, England, it is .-aid that if it do
not burn through tho night of New
year's eve, bad luck will visit the
household that yoar; nor must any one
lie given a live coal, or even a lighted
candle at this time, for the bad luck
will then visit the recipient of tho gift.
At Auspach the shadow thrown on
the wall by the candles on the Christ-
mas tree, on Now Year's evening will,
if any ono is to die soon, represent his
I shadow headless.
1 In Ronmania the Now Year begins
' with a ceremony of blessing the waters,
the priest performing a mass and
j sprinkling the streams with holy water
while blessing them.—St. Louis Re-
! public.

WATCHING THE OLD YEAR OUT.
The Custom tln^e Common In Now En*-
land Has Nearly Passed Away.
An old fashioned "watch night" in
New England or tho middle stntes was
until recently one of the institutions of
this country. Tbe keen, frosty air of tliR
early evening bore npon its crystalline
and twinkling depths tho somid of nn-
men .ns strings of sleighboils converging
at the church. The A M loaded cutters
a".'l tl • crowded sleighs hissed through
the creaking snow, that stamped off
with loud emphasis nt tho porch door,
announced tho arrival of each load. The
interior of tho church, heated to almost
a point of discomfort by big stoves, still
retains the decorations pus up when tho
1 Christmas treo did service before its re-
' moval. The usual chatter and gossip
soon subside. A fiolemn hush falls over
tho assembly, and when the first hymn
j is given out it is sung with more hearty
uplift of tone tnan usual. The prnyer is
more fervent than usual, and tho an-
them that follows it is more like a dirge.
The young elder, who is present,
preaches an address, the tones of which
fall on all hearts with a sadness that be-
! gets repentance. No such theme as this
finds expression at any other portion of
; the year, "Wo all do f:;de its a leaf,"
aud then ho closes with Longfellow's
mournful words:
Howl, howl, and fron the forest

Frocbel, the great promoter of the kin-
dergarten system of teaching children said:
" Let parents not live /or their children, but
uri/h them." The mother who understands
this sentinr ut lives with, even her unborn
child. She studies to be wise about herself
and the little life she is fostering. She docs
all she can lo give her child a fair start in
life, by giving it a strong well developed
body. All through babyhood, childhoud
and youth she lives with her son or her
daughter. Especially her daughter she will
keep near her. She will allow no false i
mode •ty to stand in the way of that daugh-
ter's knowledge of herself, of her possibili-
ties, of her perils. She will tc ich her that ;
happy, hr althful motherhood is au honor,
a ble sir-.g. That sickness is a mistake, a
breaking of nature's law. But there are
times of unavoidable owrdoiug when lhe
system becomes run-dowu.

Related by a Keeper of the Hichigoa
State Prison at Jackson.
(Prom the Jackson Citizen.')
Mr. A. E. Wing resides at C13 N. Jack-
son Street, Jackson, Mich. He is a keeper
in the Michigan State Prison, a man of ster-
ling integrity, and whose word is- beyond
dispute. He tells the following story of a
wonderful escape, and the incideuta COQ-
nected with the dangerous position in
which he was placed. He says, some
months ago my attention was attracted by
j a swelling of my groins, which began to
increase in size to such an extent that I
I was alarmed. It spread down my legs to
| my feet, and I was bloated from my waist
! down, so badly that I could not pull ir.y
: pants, over my legs, anil I had to open my
shoes fully two inches before I could got
them on. Even my face beenme puffcl
up; and my whole system seemed all'octc I.
' 1 could hardly drag myself upstairs ' »
unlock my men. 1 consulted a physidfia.
one of the best in the city. He Bald tho
swelling was caused bj'an irritation of tho
kidneys, and I commenced treatment with
him. But I seemed to be getting worse. C
was strongly urged by a friend to try
Doan's Kidney Pills, and I finally con-
sented. After the first week I commenced
to see a change, and felt much better.
Th.is was encouraging, anil I continued
their use. I took five boxes in all, with tho
happy result that I was completely cured.
1 have neverheard of any medicine which
had such a pronounced and radical effect,
and vet not affect the system generally
and leave it in such a good condition. "I
fed better now than I ever did. After
the effect was once established the swelling
gradually disappeared until it was entirely
gone. I regard Doan's Kidney Pills as a
most wonderful agent in the curing of any
form of kidney disorder.
