Where Chrysanthemum Are Eaton
Iu Japan the flowers of chrysanthe
munis constitute a popular dish Dur
ing the months of November nnd De
cember bunches of them washed and
carefully displayed may be seen in the
stores of all the dealers in vegetables
Almost all the varieties are edible
strictly speaking but those to which
preference is usually given have deep
yellow flower heads

Anxiously watch declining health of
their daughters So many are cut off
by consumption in early years that
there is real cause for anxiety In
the early stages when not beyond the
reach of medicine Hoods Sarsaparilla
will restore the quality and quantity of
the blood and thus give good health
Read the following letter
It is but just to write about my daugh
ter Cora aged 19 She was completely run
down declining had that tired feeling and
friends said slit would not live over three
months She had a bad
and nothing seemed to do her any good
I happened to read ahout Hoods Sarsapa
rilla and had her give it a trial From the
very first dose she began to get better
After taking a few bottles she was com
pletely cured and her health has been the
best ever since Mns Addie Peck 12

Gladness Comes
With a better understanding of the
transient nature of the many phys
ical ills which vanish ibefore proper ef
fortsgentle efforts pleasant efforts
rightly directed There is comfort in
the knowledge that so many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease but simply to a constipated condi
tion of the system which the pleasant
family laxative Syrup of Figs prompt
ly removes That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families and is
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without debilitating the
organs on which it acts Itis therefore
all important in order to get its bene
ficial effects to note when you pur
chase that you have the genuine article
which is manufactured by the California
Fig Syrup Co only and sold by all rep
utable druggists
If in the enjoyment of good health
and the system is regular then laxa
tives or other remedies are not needed
If afflicted with any actual disease one
may be commended to the most skillful
physicians but if in need of a laxative
then one should have the best and with
the well informed everywhere Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most largely
vised and gives most general satisfaction

Can California Raise Coffee
An attempt is to be made to cultivate
the coffee plant in the beautiful San
Joaquiu Valley in California The
result cannot be known it is said
within less than six years The chief
anticipated difficulty arises from the
lack of a proper quantity and distribu
tion of rain
Pictured Rocks
On the base of a cliff of granite aim
marble running for about two miles
along the shore of Lake Alassanog in
Canada and rising in places to a
height of three hundred feet an in
teresting series of pictographs has re
cently been discovered These picture
writings extend at intervals along the
entire length of the wall of cliffs but
are nowhere more than six feet above
the water of the lake They probably
represent highly interesting events in
the career of the people whose artist
historians placed them there
Majjnets Pnt to Work
This seems to be emphatically the
age of work Elephants have been
set -to pulling stumps and rolling logs
and now electro magnets have been
pressed into service in England for
the lifting of heavy masses of iron and
steel The magnets are attached to
cranes and are operated by a current
from an electric power circuit When
the current is on they grip their load
with a lifting strength equal to two
tons but when the current is turned
off they instantly let go An instance
of the application of such a magnet
is cited where work which formerly
occupied six men for ninety minutes
can now be done by three men and the
magnet in fifteen minutes
Burning Gas from Ice
A correspondent of Science describes
an interesting scene recently witnessed
on a skating lake near Baltimore
White spots resembling air bubbles
were noticed in the ice and one of
the skaters bored a hole into such a
bubble and applied a match to it
whereupon a flame burst out at the
surface Further experiments showed
that when a small hole was bored down
to the bubble a long thin jet of flame
could be obtained which would last
for a considerable time The bubbles
were due to accumulations of marsh
gas formed by the decomposition of
vegetable matter at the bottom of the
lake The correspondent suggests that
such supplies of marsh gas might be
utilized for the illumination of skat
ing ponds at night
Useful Mechanical Principle
Trial has recently been made in
building operations of a mechanical
device known as Feases tubular con
struction it is
based upon the
simple fact that
three tubes each
having an open slit
along one side
may be interlocked
in the manner
shown in the accompanying cut Of
course the number of tubes that can
thus be connected is indefinite By add
ing a sufficient number on each side
of the three for instance a flat ex
panse like a roof would be formed In
fact this construction has been used
for the roofs walls and floorings of
buildings in place of corrugated iron
Sometimes to obtain greater rigidity
the tubes after being interlocked are
filled with concrete No bolts or riv
ets are needed By making the tubes
of different diameters and in other
ways a great variety is introduced in
the application of the principle
PhotographinK Hidden Tilings
Professor Roentgen of the Univei
sity of Wuertzburg Bavaria has re
cently succeeded in photographing the
bones of the hand of a living person
through their covering of flesh while
the flesh is invisible in the photograph
He has also made photographs of ob
jects concealed behind screens of wood
and other substauces and some of
his experiments have been repeated
both in this country and England In
experimenting with a Crookes tube
which is a glass tube or bulb from
which the air has been as far as pos
sible exhausted and through which
an electric current is passed Professor
Roentgen found unexpectedly that
the rays issuing from the tube were
not only able to penetrate certain
opaque substances a fact previously
known but also to impress upon a pho
tographic plate images of objects sit
uated between the concealed tube and
the plate When the hand for in
stance was thus placed with the elec
tricity excited Crookes tube on one
side and the photographic plate on the
other the rays from the tube passed
through the flesh but not through tli6
bones and the outlines of the bones
were photographed upon the plate Ex
traordinary suggestions have been
made as to the possibility of so perfect
ing this discovery as to enable physi
cians to photograph bullets calcareous
deposits and other extraneous and inju
rious substances or formations in the
human body Too much should not be
expected however until more facts
are known It may be remarked that
the rays which act so mysteriously are
not light rays and perhaps not electric
rays just what they are remains to be
determined

THE BREAD OF THE WORLD
What This Important Food Js Made
Of in Different Countries
In England and America wheat
bread is within the reach of all and
scarcely is a thought given to the fact
that only a small portion of the earths
inhabitants enjoy it It is only during
the last century that wheat bread has
come into common use A hundred
years ago wealthy families in England
used only a peck of wheat a year and
that at Christmas eating oatcakes dur
ing the remainder of the time
The German pumpernickel is a rye
bread with a curious sour taste but
after eating it awhile one acquires
quite a taste for it It is less nutritious
than that of wheat In the poorer parts
of Sweden the people bake their rye
bread only twice a year and store it
away so that eventually it is as hard as
bricks
Farther north still barley and oat 3
become the chief bread corn But in
the distinct north is where man is put
to thought to provide himself with
bread In Lapland if a man trusted
to grain he would starve so the people
eke out their scanty store of oats with
the inner bark of the pine and after
grinding this mixture it is made into
large flat cakes which after all are not
half bad
In dreary Kamschatka the pine or
birch bafk by itself well ground
pounded and baked constitutes the
whole of the native bread food Bread
and butter is represented by a dough
of pine bark spread with seal fat In
certain parts of Siberia the people not
only grind the pine bark but cut of
the tender shoots which procedure
must give the bread an unpleasantly
resinous flavor
In Iceland the lichen is scraped off
the rock made into bread puddings
and put into soup In Russia and
China buckwheat is pressed into ser
vice It makes a palatable bread
though of a dark violet tinge
In Italy and Spain chc stnurs are
cooked ground into meal and used for
bread and soup thickening Millet fur
nishes a white bread in Arabia Egypt
and India This grain is credited with
being the very first used in breadmak
iug
Rice bread is still the staple food of
the Chinese Japanese and Indians
In the Indian archipelago the starchy
pith of the sago palm is made into bread
and in parts of Africa the natives us i
a certain root for the same purpose
Climbing Elephants
Elephants are able to make their way
up and down mounts ins and through a
country of steep cliffs where mules
would not dare to venture and even
where men find passage difficult Their
tracks have boen found upon the very
summit of mouutains over 7000 feet
high In these journeys an elephnat
is often compelled to descend hills and
mountainsides which are almost pre
cipitous This is the wy in which it
is done The elephants first maneuver
is to kneel down close to the declivity
One foreleg is then cautiously passed
over the edge and a short way down
the slope and if he finds there is oc
good spot for a firm foothold he speed
ily forms one by stamping into the soli
if it is moist or kicking out a footing
if it is dry When he is sure of a good
foothold the other foreleg is brought
down in the same way Then he per
forms the same work over again with
his feet bringing both forelegs a little
in advance of the first foothold This
leaves good places all ready made for
his hind feet Now bracing himselt
up by his huge strong forelegs he
draws his hind legs first one and then
the other carefully over the edge
where they occupy the first places made
by the fore feet This is the way the
huge animal proceeds all the way
down zig zag kneeling every time
with the two hind legs while he makes
footholes with his fore feet Thus the
center of gravity is preserved and the
huge beast prevented from toppling
over on his nose Public Opinion
How Silk Is Adulterated
Some improvements in the treat
ment of silk are announced Ordinarily
silk is weighted by depositing tan
nate of tin on the fiber the material
receives a bath of tannic acid and theu
another of perchloride of tin a repd
tition of this being made until an in
crease of the weight amounts to from
15 to 20 per cent beyond which it is
not considered safe to go in the case of
silk intended to be dyed light shades
or to be bleached Recently a German
inventor has brought forward a process
in which silica is the weighting agent
In carrying out this method three steps
are described First the silk law or
in any stage of manufacture and either
before or after dyeing is worked for
n hour in a bath of perchloride of tin
hen after squeezing and washing it
is worked in a warm solution of water
glass or soluble silicate of soda for
about an hour followed by washing
having also been previously passed
through a solution of phosphate of
soda The operation may be repeated
again and again with no harmful ef
fect on the fiber or on the subsequent
dyeing and in five operations the silk
may be increased in weight some 100
to 120 per cent The silk is now soaped
and if already dyed is cleared in an
emulsion of olive oil and acid
Stove Polish

itove polish is made of purified black
lead granite reduced to a very fine
powder one pound perchloride of iron
half an ounce Moisten with just
enough water to form a stiff paste and
mix intimately by trituration in a mor

Paris Well Fortified
The German Chancellor Caprivi in a
speech said that Paris is the largest
and most formidable fortress the world
has ever seen a stronghold with fifty
six forts and an outer line of fortifica
tions of nearly 100 miles The wall of
Paris is built around the inhabited por
tion of the city inclosing all the monu
ments and business houses It is sur
rounded by a broad ditch The original
plans provided for a second wall some
thousand paces beyond this one but
instead there is a circle of forts from
one to two miles away from the Inner
wall Nearly 2C0O cannon are used to
fortify these forts The various first
class forts number about thirty They
are polygons in shape strongly bas
tioned and bomb proof with brick up
ditches covered ways and outworks

There is no question but what smooth
wire fencing is bound to take the place of
all other styles of fence for farm pur
poses The progressive and successful
fanner has already realized this and is

to pasture every field as sunn as the crop
can be removed It tins been demonstrat
ed iu many ways that those pastures will
inside of two years pay for inclosing
the field with a close mesh smooth win
fence itself Besides it keeps stock
healthy and seems to be the only true
method of keeping the hog cholera out of
your herds

Chronicle said Having suffered
for many years with dyspepsia
indigestion and biliousness I tried
every known remedy consulted
many physicians with the hope of
getting cured or even relief but
nothing seemed to relieve me
After meals I would feel as if a
ball of lead was lodged in my
stomach tired and listless as
though life was scarcely worth
living Finally I was attracted to
the ad of Ripans Tabules and con
cluded to try them After taking
the first two or three I was sur
prised to find the relief they gave
and by the time I emptied the first
box I felt like a new man I have
never been without Ripans Tabules
since nor have I ever suffered
since I heartily and earnestly
recommend them to any one suffer
