HOMEOPATHIC Medicines as rule,
are not amenable to the chemical tests
and analyses used in testing drugs gen
orally. Their reliability therefore de-
ponds solely on the character and repu'
tation as to probity of those preparing
and putting them up. It is therefore Of
paramount Importance that the public
satisfy themselves that the hom@opa-
thic medicines they buy are obtained
from a house of recognized standing
and reliability. Boericke & Tafei's
Hon e ,pathic Pharmacy is established
since 1885. Send for their descriptive

Preventative Power OF the Electric Light.

Some time ago We mentioned an ex-
pertinent with the Maxim light made
at Saratoga, n. Y, to test the distance
at which the electric light would IL
Illuminate q given spot, and it was
found that concentrated beam car@
ried seven miles Ito Ballston) furnish
ed enough light to read by. A more
crucial test of the great penetrating
power of the electric light is furnish
ed by the experiments of the officers of
the French-Algarian Triangulation
Service, who recently saw the electric
light from the Spanish station Zetica,
from distance of more than 164 miles.
This observation is proof, if proof were
wanted, of the great value Of the light
for maritime purpose. when it is ex-
hibited from sufficiently elevated posi-
tions.-Stsentfc american.

Two negroes were hung for the crime
of murder at Murfreesboro, Tennessee, on
Friday last. At the request of several
prominent physicians the governor gave
permission to the Sheriff to turn over the
bodies of the murderers to several expert
surgeons and physicians for the purpose
of trying the most efectual means known
to science to bring the corpses back to
life again. The physicians did their best,
trying, among other things, the galvanic
battery, but it was found that science
cannot make a live man out of a corpse.
The experiment resulted in failure. 7..-4

Reducing the Mail Service.

The following order, recently issued
by the postmaster general, cannot fail to
cause much indignation in the West. The
Star routes referred to in the order means
all routes not upon lines of railroad.
To the Second Assistant Postmaster General !:
That there may be no deficiency created for
the pres ent fiscal year, I direct that on and
after March l, prox., service on all Star routes
be reduced to one trip per week, allowing one
months extra pay, as provided by law, Oh SER
vice dispensed with. I also direct that the
service placed on ten new routes since and in
cluding July /, 1879, be disco ntinued, if the
former reduction is not sufficient for the pur-
pose indicated. I think the rapid growth of
the population and business in the Territories
aud in new States, and the restoration and
improvement of the service in the southern
States, demand the existing service, and in
many instances additional services on old and
on recently established routes. also believe
that the public service will suffer by the re-
duction, but the law requires that I shall not
exceed the appropriation, and am determined
to conform to the law.
[signed.] D.M. KEY,
Postmaster Genelal.
LATER.-A Washington special telegram to
the Pioneer Press, dated Feb. %, contains the
following:
"The committee on appropriations have in
structed the subcommittee to prepare at once
a bill providing for the deficiency for the pos
tai star service, caused by the prodigality Of
Assistant Postmaster General Brady. There
seems to be no doubt that the bill will pass,
and that the postmaster generals order cutting
down service on the star routes will be with
drawn. The sub committee Of the house COM
mittee on appropriations, which has been in
vestigating the business, held meeting this
evening to decide upon the terms of def
ciency bill which they will report to the full
committee to- morrow, and later will try to get
it at once before the house,"

He intended to ascend with his boats as
far up as the mouth of Crow Wing river
but on arriving at the mouth of Swan
river, Oct. 18th, 1906, the weather turned
cold during the night and he found ii
impossible to proceed farther. He went
