You published in ycur paper on Sat-
urday a very curious story about a
shark jumping 50 feet high in the air,
writes a correspondent of the South
China Post.
The writer or author of this story,
ti captain of a British vessel, bound
for London, says that he fired a rifle
sho't at a shark and badly wounded
it. The shark in question jumped so
high out of the water that he cleared
the mainsail with the ease of a sea-
gull.
Now, dear sir, this is rather a
trifle strong. The captain states that
♦hey threw some meat overboard to
get the sharks closer to the ship. At
the moment that the shark made a
grab for the meat the captain fired
his shot, which shot made the shark
jump 50 feet out of the water.
We that have been at sea all know
that there is one kind of shark which
has to lay on its side before it can
grab anything between its jaws, and
another kind which has to lay on its
back to do so. The construction of
their mouths compels them to take
these attitudes. As a consequence,
the shark in question was either lying
on his back or on his side.
A fish jumping out of the water
makes the following movement: The
fish stretches his back and bends him-
self in the form of a crescent by
bringing his head and tail closer to-
gether. At the moment he wants to
jump he straightens his back again
and hits the water with the tail end of
his body. This force produces the
power which enables him to jump a
certain height.
As above stated, the shark, when
fired at, was grabbing for the meat,
and lying either on his side or back.
In this position he was not able to
jump out of the sea. His movements
in this position were limited to three;
he could either move ahead, sideways
or downward.
I will not deny that a shark Is able
to Jump. I have seen sharks jumping
five feet and six feet high, but that
only when they were hunting some
victim. The first movement of a
shark when wounded is to dive down-
ward into the elements which is his
natural abode, and not to go and make
an airship performance around the
mast of a sailing vessel.
I know a little about sharks myself,
but little as this is it qualifies me to
write. 1 know what they can do, and
I know also how sharks "taste," hav-
ing eaten them, for want of something
better.
I heard once of an old sailor telling
an acquaintance of a shark which,
when caught and cut open, had an-
other shark inside; this shark cut
open, produced another shark; and
the last shark had in his stomach a
canvas bag with 25 sovereigns.
I think that both stories are about
of the same value concerning truth
fulness.

Now It's the Orange Cure.
Young women are this spring devot-
ing themselves to the orange cure.
It consists in taking the juice of two
oranges three times a day before
meals, or after, if it is preferred. Or-
anges are said to be particularly
healthful in the spring, and to give
the person who adheres to the regimen
a beautiful complexion, better even
than that which is supposed to be ob-
tained by eating one raw carrot daily.
It surely is a much more desirable
remedy.

RHEUMATISM
CAN NOT BE RUBBED AWAY
It Is perfectly natural to rub the spot that hurts, and when the muscles,
nerves, joints and bones are throbbing and twitching- with, the pains of
Rheumatism the sufferer is apt to turn to the liniment bottle, or some other
external application, in an effort to get relief from the disease, by producing
counter-irritation on the flesh. Such treatment will quiet the pain tempo-
rarily, but can have no direct curative effect on the real disease because it
does not reach the blood, where the cause is located. Rheumatism is mora
than skin deep—it is rooted and grounded in the blood and can only be
reached by constitutional treatment—IT CANNOT BK RUBBF.D AWAY.
Rheumatism is due to an excess of uric acid in the blood, brought about by
the accumulation in the system of refuse matter which the natural avenues
of bodily waste, the Bowels and Kidneys, have failed to carry off. This
refuse matter, coming in contact with the different acids of the body, forms
u. ?c acid which is absorbed into the blood and distributed to all parts of the
body, and Rheumatism gets possession of the system. The aches and pains
are only symptoms, and though they may be scattered or relieved for a time
by surface treatment, they will reappear at the first exposure to cold or
dampness, or after an attack of indigestion or other irregularity. Rheuma-
tism can never be permanently cured while the circulation remains saturated
with irritating, pain-producing uric acid poison. The disease will shift
from muscle to muscle or joint to joint, settling on the nerves, causing
inflammation and swelling and such terrible pains that the nervous system
is often shattered, the health undermined, and perhaps the patient becomes
deformed and crippled for life. VS. S. S. thoroughly cleanses the blood and
renovates the circulation by neutralizing the acids and expelling all foreign
matter from the system It warms and invigorates the blood so that instead
of a weak, sour stream, constantly deposit-
ing acrid and corrosive matter in the mus-
cles, nerves, joints and bones, the body is fed
and nourished by rich, health-sustaining
blood which completely and permanently
cures Rheumatism. S. S. S. is composed
PURELY VEGETABLE of both purifying and tonic properties—
just what is needed in every case of Rheu-
matism. It contains no potash, alkali or other mineral ingredient, but i3
made entirely of purifying, healing extracts and juices of roots, herbs and
barks. If you are suffering from Rheumatism do not waste valuable time
trying to rub a blood disease away, but begin the use of S. S. S. and write
us about your case and our physicians will give you any information or
advice desired free of charge and will send our special treatise on Rheumatism.
