PROF. TrndaII,. warnIng.

In concluding an address to the students
OF University College (London), Prof. Tyn-
dali, who is unquestionably one of the most
indefatigable brain-wOrkers of our century,
said: Take care OF your health. Imagine
Hercules as oarsman in a rotten boat; what
can he do there but by the very force of his
stroke expedite the ruin of his craft. Take
care of the timbers of your boat" The
distinguished scientists advice is equally
valuable to all ICOrkers. We are apt to de-
vote all our energies to wieldii z the oars;
our strokes fall firm and fast, but few Of US
examine or even think Of the condition of
our bOats until the broken or rotten timbers
suddenly give way, and We find ourselves
the victims of calamity which eou have
been easily avoided by little forethOught.
What began with slight fracture, or per-
haps even careless exposure TO disorgan-
izing influences, ends In the complete wreck
Of the hie-boat. The disease which began
with slight headache or an undue exposure
to cold terminates in death, unless its prog
ress be checked and the disease remedied.
The first symptoms, the heralds Of disease,
give no indication Of the strength Of the on
coming foe, and the victim trusts that his
old ally, Nature, will ex erminate the in
vader. But Disease is an old General, and
accOmplishes his most important movements
in the nighttime, and some bright morning
finds him in possession of one of the
strongest fort fcations; and, when he has
once gained a stronghold in the syst IN, Ma
ture ANONYMOUSLY turns traitor and Sc
ere ly delivers up the whole physical armory
to the invader. Like the willy politician, Ma
ture is always on the strongest side, and the
only way to insure her support is to keep
your vital powers in the ascendant. Keep
your strongest fo-ts-the stomach and liver
well guarded. Do not let the foe enter the
artcrial highways, for he will steal or de-
stroy your richest merchandise and inpoy-
erish your kingdom. To repulse the attacks
of the foe, you can find no better ammuni-
ZION than DR.. Pieree's Family Medicines.

Breathing m,asma wishou. Injury.

There is no exsggersticn in the statemen
that thousands of persons residing from one
years end to another in fever and -ue re-
gtons on this Continent and elsewhere,
breathe air more or less impregnated with
miasma, without ineurring the disease, SIM
ply and only because they are in the habit
of using Hostetter's Stomach Bitters as a
preventive. 1t has frequently happened,
and the fact has been amply attested by the
parties themselves, that persons surrounded
on all sides by neighbOrs suffering the tor
lures of this shivering and burning plague,
lave enjoyed absolute immunity from it,
thanks TO the protection afforded by the Bit
tiers. Nor is that standard anti-febrile cor
dial less cfficacious in remedying than in
preventing chills and fever, bilious remit
tents, and disorders of kindred type.
Taken between the paroxysms, it speedily
mitigates their violence, and eventually pre-
vents their recurrence. These facts, convinc-
ingly es ablished by evidence, appeal with
peculiar force to travellers and sojOurners in
malaTious districts.

A FrenchwOman's Tragic End.

The bright sunshine and balmy air
(says Lucy Hooper in her last Paris
letter. tempted me to lay aside my hus-
bands arm. was walking on the Rue
de la Paix, about one block from the
Yendome column itself, admiring the
effect produced by the dark bronze of
the shaft against the gold-fushed hue
of the sunset sky, the hour being about
five in the afternoon. Suddenly down
the face of the column fell q human
form with white and black draperies
futtering in the air lit struck the wreath
of immortelles that surround the col
umn at its juncture with the pedestal,
and rebounded with such force that it
was thrown clear over the railing that
surrounds the base and fell into the
center of the outside pavement. l could
not realize for a moment that l had
really beheld that awful spectacle-a
human being self-hurled into eternity
but such was indeed the meaning of
what l had seen. In moment the
PROSTATE figure was surrounded by a
dense crowd. The emotion of the spec
tators was extreme, and one old lady
who had CHANGED to be walking along
the Rue de la Paix near me burst out
crying in her agitation. At my solicit
tation my companion went forward,
very reluctantly, it must be confessed,
to learn the particulars of the horrible
event. The victim was young and
neatly dressed woman. She lay
prone on the pavement as she
had fallen, but no trace OF blood or
mutilation was visible, as one of the
bystanders had drawn her water proof
cloak around her shattered head, that
having been the point that first struck
the pavement Her shoes, neat pair
of black lasting boots, had been forced
from her feet by the fall, showing clean
white stockings of quality never worn
in France by the working classes. One
of her carriers, also jerked off by the
fall, lay near her-a dainty blue silk af
fair, with gilded clasp. She had, as
afterward learned. gone most deliber-
ately to work to execute her purpose.
She had concealed camp-stool under
her waterproof before making the as
cent. Arrived at the top, she had prof
tied by moment when the guide was
busted in pointing out certain objects
of interest in the view to another part y !
had then gone around to the opposite
side, had placed her camp-stool there,
mounted upon it, and so contrived TO
Chamber over the high railing.
1 passed by the spot an hour later.
The body had long since been removed
and the crowd was gone but few by !
ISLANDERS still fingered under the dark
ening sky, looking alternately up at the
summit of the gigantic shaft that tow
cred above them and down at two Grim
son stains upon the pavement, upon
which gravel had been hastily strewn,
but which still revealed g dusky and |
ominous red through the pebbles and |
sand that tried to hide them.

Unusual winters in France.

The present winter is remarkable for
unusual symptoms of early vegetation;
and this is still more the case in France,
where in some districts the season ap-
pears, by al reports, to be several
weeks in advance. One of the French
papers has taken the trouble to rsfer to
the records of past centuries for exam
pies of like abnormal winters, and gives
the following instances of premature
springs: In the winter OF 11SS the fruit
trees in France were in bloom IN De-
cember and the vine in February In
the winter of 1888 violets picked in the
meadows on the banks of the Rhine
were sold in the streets of Cologne.
Corn-llowers were seen in February,
and the vine was in blossom upon the
hill-sidcs of the MOselle in the month
of April. In 1872 the trees were COW
cred with leaves in the month of Janu-
airy, and the young birds were Matched
in February. In 1921 there was gen
eral Towering OF shrubs and plants in
February. In 1858 there was neither
snow nor frost. In 1882 the heat was
extraordinary in December. There
were thrnder-storms as in August, and
every thing was in blossom in January.
In 1924 the temperature was singularly
mild; green peas were in flower in De-
eember, and the rye was gathered in
before the oath of June. The vine har-
vest was one of the most remarkable Of
the present century. The winter Of
1867 is the last which can be placed on
the list of spring winters.-PaH MaH

The material and eontrollinginterests
of the future of Utah win be largely
found in her mineral resources. Out
side of the Cumstock Lode in Nevada,
this Territory takes the lead in silver
and lead. The Flagstaff Mine, whichis
owned by English capitalists, is now
producing 100 tons of ore per day. This
mine is situated at Alta City, thirty
miles from here. Among the Iesding
mines of the same locality are the
famous Emms Mine, the DsveHpoFt
and the Prince of Wales. The ores are
shipped during the winter evei>s tfam-
way. In the Ophir district, sixty miles
west, are the noted mines Kearsarge,
Mono, and the Hidden Treasure Desert.
Some of the richest silver ore has been
furnished by the Mono. The mine is
idle now, and is owned by
Stevens & Osborn. The Kearsarge,
owned by Lilly, Larsing & Co., Of
Pennsylvania, is considered here to
be the coming mine of 0phir. Ores of
marvellous worth have been recently
mined there. The noted mines of the
Bingham District, twenty-five miles dis
tant, are the Nez Perces, Montreal,
Winnemeh, Mayfower, and the Revere.
1t is said the Nez Perces has the largest
silver deposit in Utah, and Mr.. Holden,
of Ohio, the principal owner, is ship
ping 100 tons of the ore daily. The
profits last year were 100000. The
Jinta District, forty-fve miles distant,
contains the two celebrated mines of
Cant, Steele and Crismin. The richest
of all of Utah's mines is said to be at
Park City-the Ontario, owned by
Messrs. Hagger & Tiers, of California
The yield of ore last year has brought
Utah to the front, and recent discov-
cries in the lead districts are creating
more excitement. In these districts
biologists encounter strange phe
nomenon in the fact that the lodges of
ore are generally found in a horizontal
position firmly imbedded in sandstone,
something that has not been discovered
before.

THE majority of the House Commit
tee on the Privileges, Powers and Du-
ties of the House, on the 26th, agreed
to report a bill to provide for tempo
rarily filing any vacancy occurring in
the Office of President, in the event OF
there being no constitutional dec
laration of an election before
the commencement of the regular
term. The bill provides, if the Senate
be in session at the commencement of
the new term, the presiding officer
shall act as President of the United
States until the President shall be elect
ed and qualified in accordance with the
Consultation and existing law, but if
the Senate be not then in session, the
presiding officer last elected by that
body shall become President, of the
United States until the vacancy shall
be regularly filed, provided that such
last presiding officer shall not have
ceased to be member of the Senate
on the 4th of March, and provided,
also, that he be possessed of the con-
stiiutional qualifications as to age and
nativity. The bill also provides
that, in, the possible contingency
of there being no such presiding or ex-
presiding officer of the Senate, the
Speaker of the House shall act as Pres
ident. The bill looks to a new Presi-
dental election next November, and in
the event of any temporary occupant
being installed, he would be entitled
to continue in Office under the provis-
ions above referred to-, until the 4th of
March, 1873 t-~- A--- ~ .

SOME weeks ago the Courthouse of
Monterey County, at Salinas, Califor-
MIA, was destroyed by fire. Investiga-
tions since made show that the build
ing was fired fer the purpose of destroy
ing the records and covering a defalca-
ton in the Tax Collectors office,
amounting to about 100000. It's prov
en- to a reasonable certainty that most
of the money had been gambled off by
VIM. Rumsey, Deputy Collector, and
that number of prominent citizens of
Salinas, including certain county Off

ACCORDING to the Associated Press
report from Washington on the LIST,
Col. Z. A. Burke, of Louisiana, who
represents the Nichols Government
there, states that there has been no bar
gain concerning the election of United
States Senator, but that guarantees
have been given, in the event of the ia
auguration of Hayes, assuring the per
manent establishment of the Nichols
Government. On the other hand, the
Legislature of Louisiana and Gov.
Nichols have guaranteed peace,
order and equal justice to
black and white citizens, with full
protection to the colored people
in all their rights and privileges, and
no persecution of Republicans for past
political conduct, but no immunity for
crime. The announcement of the Pre- :
ident's intention to withdraw the troops
from Packard's support was independ-
eRt of any agreement, and was simply
in accordance with his well known
views. "There is no agreement" Col
ouel BurkS adds, g inconsistent with
the honor or dignity of President Grant
or Gov. Hayes, or the people of Louis
iana."
