FORMER ATTEMPTS.
The first attempt upon the life of the

not yet twenty-one years of age. The would
be assassin, Edward Oxford, half crazy lad
of seventeen, deliberately fred two shots at
the Queen as she was passing in a carriage on
Constitution Hill. Oxford was found insane
by a jury, and, as is the English custom where
an acquittal is rendered on that ground, was
ordered to be confined at her Majestys pleas

stood. He was but few feet from the car
rage, but missed his aim. He was tried and
condemned to death, but the sentence was

The next attempt was made the day after
the mitigation of Francis punishment was
announced, and was the work Of bunch:

powder, paper tightly rammed down, and
some pieces of clay pipe. Bean was i'm

May 10, 1S49, fired pistol loaded only with

attempts. He was transported for seven
years.

not have wrought any harm, and the boy, who
was one Of the dime-novel reading persuasion,

Rnmhardmant Of the Earth.

'1t's lucky for us that the earth has
Tuch a good bomb-proof on the skyward
side," said the astronomer as he stood
on the roof, watching the meteors.
"Whyp" asked the reporter, through
the scuttle-hole.
You'd have seen if you had been up
here with me for the last hour. Why,
the earth has been undergoing a regu-
lar bombardment. It's not over yet.
Look at that fellow, how he skins.
You would call it a shooting-star. Well,
there's as much reason for calling it a
celestial shell. That meteoroid was
moving twenty or thirty miles a second;
yet it could not get through the bomb
proof that protects the earth"
where's the bomb-proof?"
"Why, right under your nose; it's tie
atmosphere. When the meteoroids
strike the air, the heat produced by
their tremendous velocity runs up a
million degrees a second, and in q
twinkle they are changed to vapor. II
they could get through the atmosphere,
no man could tell at what instant he
might be struck down by a shot from
the sky, for meteoroids are plunging in.
to the atmosphere millions a day for the
whole earth. The soft air is to most OF
them as impenctrable as a wall of steel.
Some are able to penetrate to the earth,
but they are few. When n meteoroid
strikes the earth, it is called an aerolite.
No good museum of mineralogy is with
ont one or more specimens"

DR.iSCHENCK'S
MANDRAKE PILLS

Do not produce sickness at the stomach, nausea
or gripping. On the contrary, they are so mild
and agreeable in their action that a person suffer-
ing with a sick headache, sour stomach, or pain in
the bowels, is speedily relieved of these distress
ing symptoms. They act directly on die liver,
the organ which, when in a healthy condition
purifies the blood for the whole body
They are a perfect preparation OF the great and
well-known remedy, Mandrake or Podcphyllin
remedy that has displaced the use of mercury,
as well as many other poisonous drugs, in the
practice Of every intelligent physician.
Prof. John King, OF the College Of Medicine, OF
Cincinnati, says: In Constipation it acts upon
the bowels without disposing them to subsequent
costiveness. In Chronic Liver Complaint there
is not its equal in the whole range OF medicines,
being vastly more useful than meTcuTial agents,
arousing the liver to healthy action, increasing
the flow Of bile, and keeping up these actions
longer than any other agent with which we are
acquainted See American Dispcnsatory, page
7FgJ
In all cases Of Liver Complaint or Dyspepsia
where there is great weakness or debility, DIR.
Schenck's Seaweed Tonic should be used in
connection with these Pills.

Peter, Scherffer has sought an explain

counts for it: When one of our senses
receives a double sensation, one being
strong and the other weak, the latter is
not felt. Especially is this the case
when both impressions are of the same

of an almanac, which contains chrome

explains the meaning of the references,
and requires the pupil to bring to the
recitation all the facts within his reach.
For instance: "Nov. 10, 1894, jays trea-
