manufactured Raw-Bonc Phosphates, and our brands
have become household words in nearly every section
Of the country In many comm unities the demand
for them has increased while in others the sales have
declined, account Of the preference for lower
priced goods. Six years ago, finding that the demand
for goods Of lower cost had become almost universal
and having peculiar advantages Of raw materials aud
manufacturing facilities, we determined 10 meet this
demand, and introduced TWENTY-FIVE DOLLAR

own. The quickness with which this phosphate

Quoted as nearly as possible ON the Ameri-

have American stoves, American heaters,

WHY HE FELT MEAN.

If over go into o new locality again I
will study up my geography better than I
did this time, for my ignorance got me into
most uncomfortable position. As the
boat neared Sanford / was standing with
others on the deck, when very pretty
young lady came up to me and, with q
sweet smile ON her face, looked up into
mine with pair of lovely eyes and asked !:
" Are you going to kiss me, sir?" II some
one had offered to lend me $40 could not
have been more surprised, and, hardly
knowing what to say and in order to gain b
little time, I gasped out. Pardon, miss
what did you ask ?" felt that she knew
heard her, but she said sweetly, Are you
going to kiss me to-night2g There was no
misunderstanding her this time. I heard
her, and SO did others, and / felt the blood
rushing into my face, and stamnered out,
/ would like to accommodate yon, Miss,
Iwenld truly, but have awife and thirteen
small children ON board with me, and If my
wife should sec me kissing you { Kiss
ing me, you hateful old thing Who asked
you to kiss me ~ "You did," I yelled !;
" you asked mef twieep' . You old fool
asked you il you were going to Kissime-
Kissime City tonight; don't you know
anything?" and of she went, and If ever
anybody felt meaner than l did would
like to exchange photographs with him

EARTHQUAKES.
rhe Wholesome Dread which Thcy Inspire.

Though earthquakes are now one of the
most terrible forms in which the internal
energies of the earth usually manifest them
selves, it has not always been so, and it
may not always be SO in the future. There
have been geological catastrophes in the
history of our planet immeasurably more
awful than any actual or possible earthquake
-catastrophes compared to which even the
eruption of Vesuyius that overwhelmed
Horculanenm and Pompeii was buta slnall
and unimportant episode. Professor Geikie,
following many distinguished American geo.
logists, has shown that the vast basalt plains
of Western America, as well as the region
about the Giants Causeway in northeastern
Ireland, have been produced by q peculiar
form of volcanic action which he calls
fssure-eruptions. In these cases it seems
that molten sheets OF lava of enormous size
poured forth bodily in a vast fool from
huge rents In the earth's crust, and over
vhelmed many hundred square miles,
together with their devastating sinundation.
The lava spreads to adepth of some hun.
dreds Of feet, and has rolled around the
feet OF mountains and filed up their valleys
exactly as foods of water might have done.
Those terrific massive eruption," or direct
out-hows Of incandescent molten matter are
probably the most frightful cataclysms that
lave ever visited the flea Of the earth.
Nervous people, however, my console
themselves by the consideration that the
chances Of their being ovefwhelmed in such
an outflow are practically infnitesimel. IN
all probability, il a man were to have an
infinity of lives, one after another, he would
have to get killed in railway accident eight
hundred and ninety-two times over, not to
mention several hundred thousand natural
deaths meanwhile, before he ever once got
himself caught in transcription. The
fear of it may be relegated to the same in.
genious people who don't much trouble
themselves about the typhoid and the scar
latina germs that are forever fitting around
us, but are terribly afraid every passing
comet has sinister intention OF cumming
full tilt at this one particular Insignificant
little planet. Curiously enough, one never
hears Of anybody who has abstract fears
lest a comet might interfere with tho do
nestle astronomical arrangements OF JLpite,
and Saturn ConliN Ma0driae.
