THROUGH ALL THE AGES of study and
investigation which have marked the
path of scientific discovery, one especially
alluring object has tempted the inquiries
and speculations of philosophers. 1t is
what the wizards and witches of olden
time, the jugglers of India, soothsayers
of Arabia, Magi of Egypt, necromancers
of Turkey and the Orient, and alchemists
of civilized Europe have sought, but
sought in vain-d Uegetd6Le nOn-pOisonOus
Eligir, which, by cleansing the blood, re-
moving from the system all impurities
strengthening the nerves, the muscles and
the brain, and vitalizing every fiber of the
system, should bid defiance to the cor
roding hand of disease.
DR.. Walker, Of California, discovered
an herb, the properties of which, if they
do not entirely fulfill all the conditions

themselves efflcacious in all of them thi'

A DERANGED stomach and impure blood
force human beings into melancholy state;
they do not enjoy life and are not in tit CON
dition to do business successfully. One of
the best remedies extant is VEGETINE, which
has acquired a reputation as wide az the
country itself, and is extensively known all
over the globe. This remedy has been exten.
sively advertised, but its cures have sold it at
more rapid rate than the newspapers. The
latter serve to bring il to public notice, but
like all medicines or inventions it has been
found to stand the test OF trial and time, and
its rapid sale shows how strong hold 1t has
gained.

How to Solder Holes in a Copper
Tea Kettle.

A domestic left the tea kettle on the
stove, where the copper bottom was
heated almost to redness. The cOnse-
quence was that two small cracks APP
peared in the bottom, through which the
water issued so rapidly that the kettle
could not be used. A tinker with his
soldering iron failed to stop the leak after
several efforts. With small piece of
sand-paper we secured the copper bright
on the inside near the cracks, then pull
veriZed piece of rosin half as large as a
small pea and spread the powder over the
cracks on the bright surface of the cop
per, on the inner side of the kettle, and
rubbed the rosin down with a finger.
Then a small piece of solder, about the
size Of a large pea, was laid on each crack,
inside the kettle, and the kettle was
placed on the hot stove until the solder
melted. As soon as the solder had melt
ed the kettle was removed, and as the
solder began to cool, while it was in a
plastic state, the smooth end of a stick
was pressed on the solder to tlatten the
surface. Those cracks were stopped
neatly in briefer space of time than is
required to write the nlOtlilS OperGndi of
such job. Holes in tin vessels can be
mended in the same manner without a
soldering iron.-N T. Herald.

The Hide Hunters.

1t is estimated that the "hide hun ters !" of Kansas, Texas, Colorado and Southern Nebraska kill 50, ,00O buffaloes each year for the skins alone that the Indians kill three times that number, and that perhaps 10000 are killed by sportsmen and those pioneers who de- pend on the buffalo for their winter meat thus we have the enormous fig ure of 210, 900 as the annual slaughter. But this even will not represent the grand total, for many calves are cap tured to be sold to menageries, mu- seums and private gentlemen who de- sire such pets. I cannot approach 8 summary of the latter, but think that from five to ten thousand would be an approximate estimate, though 8 low one. have known instances where 8 hundred of these creatures were caught in day by being run down, and not more than one-tenth were alive the next, for, though apparently strong, they cannot endure much hardship. By giv- ing the figures in round numbers we may estimate that a quarter of a mil lion bison are destroyed yearly and that, I think, will not be far from the exact number. At this rate of destruc- tion they cannot last long, so the pres ent generation will probably witness the decimation of the fauna of North America-one with which the history of our plains, pioneers and trappers IS most closely blended.

4 Question Settled.

A reporter of the Detroit Free Press conversed with those saved from the steamer Brooklyn, and their story of the explosion was the same. Some heard the angry hiss, and some had no warning whatever. The explosion came like flash, and the victims were strug- gling in the water before they realized what had occurred. As fast as their injuries could be temporarily cared for the sufferers were sent to the hospitals in hacks, and the office was soon cleai- ed of them. Borden, the passenger whose arm was crushed, sat on bench in the office until all the others had been cared for. His ooat-sleeve was soaked in blood, and blood had run down and filled his hand. It's bad awful to see you crushed mp so," said g press representative. "Yes," replied Borden, shutting his teeth together, "but it settles one question for sure the old woman will have to build the Ares this winter"

WesIey,s Little Affair.

George Dawson, in his lecture on the "Wives of Great Men," says :: "John Wesley had will enough to be presi- dent or king, and could govern men we'll but whenever he had anything to do with women he broke down.
 They were mysteries he could not solve. All his affairs with women were fascoes. He came out here to Georgia to preach the Gospel, and became ac- quainted with Sophia Cumston. She was young girl who wore long curls, danced, and did not dislike the sup pers that follow balls. Nov, 1t IS @ good deal for one man to undertake to do for a woman, to be her tutor, pastor, master, and lover. But Wesley did 1t. Finding her lover to be of an ascetic turn, Sophia clipped her curis and be- came sweet little Puritan. By-and' bye, when John Wesley thought it was time to marry, he did one of those foolish things that only very wise men can do. On board the ship that brought him over were some elders of that pious German sect, the Moravians. He re. ferred the question whether he should marry Sophia to these Moravian elders. Sophia didn't like it, and 1t wasn't likely that she should. So there grew up a coolness between them, and as coolness began the curls grew longer, and as it went on she began to dance, and, last of all, she took another man and married him. Wesley didn't like that, and when she presented herself for communion refused her. At last Wesley went back to England. Some times he would still think he had the gift for marriage, and sometimes tha' he had not; but at last, in an evil hour
 he married widow lady. After mar
 riage everything went we'll for awhile as it always does the barometer al ways stands 'set fair But it began t' fall, and by-and.bye it got stormy"

The Plains-A Prophecy.

Go ye and look upon that land, That far vast land that few behold, And one beholding understanding That old, old land which men call new Go journey with the seasons through Its wastes, and learn how limitless The solemn silence of that plain Is, oh' 50 eloquent. The blue And bending skies seem built for it, And all else seems yesterday, An idle tale but lilly told. It's history is of God alone, For man has lived and gone away And left but little heaps of stone. Lol here you learn how more than it And digniied is silence, when You hear the petty jeers of men. Its awful solitudes remain Thenceforth for aye a part of you, And you have learned your littleness. Some silent red men cross your track; Some sun-tanned trappers come and go <; Some rolling seas of buffalo Break thunder like and far away Against the foothills, breaking back Like breakers of some troubled bay; Some white-tailed antelope blown by So airy like; some foxes shy And shadow-ike move to and fro Like weavers' shuttles as you pass; And now and then from out the grass You hear some lone bird cluck, and call A sharp, keen call for her lost brood, That only makes the solitude Seem deeper still, and that is all. That wide domain of mysteries And signs that men misunderstood; A land of space and dreams 8 land Of sea-salt lakes and dried-up seas A1and of caves and caravans And lonely wells and pools; land That hath its purposes and plans, That seems 30 like dead Palestine, Save that it's wastes have no conf1ne, Till pushed against the leveled skies land from out whose depGhs shall rise The new time prophets the domain From out whose awful depths shall come, All olad in skins, with dusty feet, A man fresh from his Makers hand, A singer singing oversweet, A charmer charming very wise; And then all men shall not be dumb Nay, not be dumb, for he shall say, "Take heed, for prepare the way For weary feet" and from this land The Christ shall come when next the race Of man shall look upon his face
