A Lost Sailors Prayer.

A curious story is told of the ship.
wreck of large British collier, which
foundered far out at sea, off the coast of
California. The sole survivor was a
Portuguese sailor, by the name of
lopez, who was picked up lashed to q
raft, as he drifted in the path of an in
ward bound vessel for Puget Sound
He was taken to the Marine Hospital at
Port Townsend, and after a week of
skillful nursing he so far recovered as
to be able to relate his extraordinary
adventure. He had fioated with a
dozen companions helpless in the Pacific
for ten days without food or water
One after another of his shipmates died
from thirst, until he was alone with the
last survivor, and as he was dying
Lopez said to him, George, do you
think you are going to God?" On re-
ceiving an affirmative reply, Lopez
added with all the intenseness of de-
spair, "When you get where God is,
tell him to send us some water" The
dying man promised that he would do
so, and soon b;eathed his last. Shortly
after a copious shower fell, and Lopez
was enabled by its help to hold out
until rescued as stated above, on the
twenty-second day after the sinking of
the ship.

Measuring Physical Development.

Anthropometry is the science whic
weighs and measures men and women,
and endeavors to form standard of
physical development; in fact, it is one
of the foundations upon which anthro-
pology is to be built. IT is the yastness
of this subject of anthropometry which
renders conclusions so difficult. If con-
scription in Germany and France do no
other good, at least it can give us the
general run of the men as they stand in
ranks. In England some $4,000 original
observations have been made on the
relations of weight and size to age. In
London the letter-sorters were found to
be the lowest in size, as the average
heights between twenty and thirty-five
were sixty-four to siXty-seven and one
tenth inches; at the same time they were
the lightest, weighing from 1925 to
1899 pounds, T lie METROPOLITAN police
stood well as to size and weight, the
tallest being from siXty-nine two-tenths
to seventy one five teDths, and in wcigl t
1928 to 1927. Probably, taking the
average of New York policemen, the V
would have equaled the London "pee-
ers." In the consideration of the exact
time when an Englishman arrives at
his maximum of height, this distinction
has been made, that at twenty-one the
professional class arri at full stature,
while in the artisan. class men grow
until they are twenty eight or thirty !;
but this is a conclusion which requires
veriication.
The labors OF Americans in the direc-
tion of anthropOmetry have been as yet
very tentative. Commenced fully thirty
years ago by j. S. w. Mitchell, of Phil
adelphia, the method employed has been
naturally discursive. Types in the
United States seem to roam about, de-
pendent, of course, in some respect, on
the origin of the family, which may be
English, German, French, Dutch or
Scandinavian. Though very many fine
theories have been built at home as to
when or how the gradual blending of
all these types will take place, it is quite
certain that, save in peculiar insulated
areas, where the home stock is always
npreponderance, height, weights, chest
measurements and cranial developments
vary so much in the United Strtes as to
make the labors of the most conscien-
tious anthropometic committee a singu-
larly fruitless task.

Tossing Upon a Bed Of Agony.

Tortured in every joint with infiammatory
rheumatism, is prospect which may become
melancholy fact if the twinges of the dread
disorder are not checked at the outset. Per-
sons of a rheumatic tendency find Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters a useful remedy, nor do they
encounter the risk in using it they do from
resorting to that active poison, Colchicum,
which is often employed to arrest the malady.
The use of the Bitters is equally as effective in
its results, and is attended with no risk.
There is ample testimony to prove that the
medicine possesses blood depurating qualities
of no common order, besides those OF a tonic
and general Alternative. 1t stimulates the ac-
tion OF the kidneys and promotes the removal
from the system of impurities which develop
disease and are iIaught with serious danger,
Fever and ague, dyspepsia, debility, nervous
ness, constipation, etc, are remedied by it.

The Best Remedy Known 20 Man |

Dr. Clark johnson having associated himself
with Mr.. Edwin Eastman, an escaped captive, long

Comanches, is now prepared to lend his aid in the
introduction of the wonderful remedy Of that tribe
Tho experience Of Mr.. Eastman being similar to
that OF Mrs. Chas Jones and son, of Washington
Co., Iowa, an account Of whose sufferings were
thrilngly narrated in the Neio York Herald of Dee
15th 1873, the facts Of which are so widely
known, and so nearly parallel, that but little men
ton OF Mr. Eastman's experiences will be given
here. They ore, however, published in neat vol
ume Of 300 pages, entitled, Seven and Nine Years
Among the Comanches and Apaches," Of which
mention will be made hereafter Suffice it to say,
that for several years. Mr.. Eastman, while cap
tive, was compelled to gather tho roots, gums,
barlxs, herbs and berries Of which Wakametka'a
medicine was made, and is still prepared to pro-
vide the SAME materials for the successful intro
duction of the medicine to the world; and assures
the public that the remedy is the same now ~
when Wakametkla compelled him to make 1t.

A new product made from petroleum is a
Jelly called "Vaseline," which is OF the great
est utility in medicine, pharmacy and for
toilet use. Physicians all over the world have
discovered its great value in the treatment
OF wounds, burns, skin diseases, rheumatism,
eatarrh and every ailment where q liniment is
needed, and in almost every hospital in Amer
lea and Europe this substance is now in con-
slant use, and is acknowledged not only to be
the best treatment, but also one of the most
important recent additions to medicine. Its
healing and pain allaying qualities being
superior to those OF any known substance,

chilblains is almost magical. AS an emolient.
Vaseline is way ahead Of anything else, as it
renders the skin smooth, soft and clear, and
our lady friends will find it not only the best,
but perhaps the sole substance which will

a Pomade Vaseline," which is said TO be OF
great benefit to the hair, keeping it soft and
glossy, preventing and curing dandruff, and
keeping the scalp healthiul and free from dis
ease, and from those Objectionable creatures
which sometimes find dwelling there. Num-
berless instances are cited OF how by the use
OF this pomade thin and falling hair has re-
sumed a vigorous growth. Both the pure
Vaseline and the pomade are put up in twenty
nve cent bottles and are to be found at all first
class druggists, and we advise our readers to
make trial of this wonderful substance, and
we think they will find its claims to merit not
in the least exaggerated
