WHERE THE FIRE rs OUT.v
Magic NO More = Mystery-Seen From
Across the World.


'.Haroun of Aleppo," said Sir Philip Derval
''had mastered every secret in nature which
the nobler magic seeks to fathom. He dlscov-
cred that the true art Of healing is to assist Ma
ture to throw off the diSease-tO summon, as
it were, the whole system to eject the enemy
that has fastened on part. His processes all
included the reinvigOratisn OF the principle OF
life"
In this the Eastern sage merely anticipated
the practice Of the best physicians OF to-day.
What life itself is, nobody knew then-n0body
knows now. But we have learned something
of the reasons why the mysterious tide rises
and falls. Provided the great organs OF the
body are not irreparably destroyed, medical
science can always relieve, and often save.
Yet no reputable physician now adheres to the
barbarous and stupid processes OF depletion,
such as bleeding, by which it was attempted
to cure disease by reducing the PATIENTS ability
to resist it, Nowadays we do not tear down
the fort to help the garrisOn-we strengthen IT,
In this intelligent and beneficial work, 1t Is
conceded that PARKER'S TONIC leads all otn-
or medicines. As an invigOrant 1t acts immedl-
ately and powerfully upon the circulation ana
the organs OF digestion, thus giving nature the
assistance she calls for. 1t follows that all
ailments of the stomach, kidneys or liver are
at once relieved or cured. No other prepare
ton ombsdies the same qualities or produces
similar results. Its delicious to use, and the

England for her course in breaking the
American blockade during the rebellion
may be repeated. 1t is said that the
English Government will not do any
thing ia the way of preventing the con-
summation of such a scheme unless
there is formal declaration of war be-

between China and France is not only
still possible, but that England was
perfectly willing to use friendly offices
as mediator the moment both France
and China should ask English advice

Acres of Baked Potatoes.

"Hog Marsh" is the unaesthetic
name of a decidedly moist stretch
of country along the Pittsburgh road
between Ada and Forest, writes a
New Castle, Pa, correspondent of
The Indianapolis Journal. The soil
is black and rich. so as to require but
little fertilization and still less irriga,
ton is necessary. The ground is re-
markedly good for garden sass, u
and farmer who owned considerable
of it planted 90 acres Of it in potatoes
early this year. Interest in the cleo
ton, however, and his more pressing
agricultural duties prevented him
frona gathering the potatoes early,
and, o deserving that the autumn was
mild and frosts scarce, he continued
postponing the harvesting of his po-
tato crop, confident that the thick,
pasty soil would protect the ''mur
phies' from injury, at least till he
should have time to gather them in.
A cold night last week induced some
tramps to kindle fire 10 the woods
near the swamp. and, as usual, they
neglected to put it out when they
said good-by. The fire spread, and
ultimately reached some infammable
underground formation IN which the
muck burns like peat or coal. The 80
acre potato patch was invaded by the
flames, and about - acres were
thoroug hly roasted, above and below
ground.
On the following day the farmers
attention was attracted by an unusual
assemblaga in his fields, and on inves-
tigation found that his visitors were
digging his potatoes and eating them.
Wondering that they should be eat
ing potatoes raw, he joined the party,
and discovered that the vegetables
were baked as nicely as the best cook
could do it The tramps who, when
building the fire, ''builded wiser than
they knew" have returned to Hog
marsh.

CANAL building IN Its precent pro-
portions is generally looked upon as
a thing of modern times and triumph
of engineering made possible by the
most recent applications OF science.
But looking at the greatest schemes
in that line, the Suez canal and the
Panama canal, we find that the pro
totype of the former already existed
B. G.. 1914 in a canal cut between the
Nile and the Red sea, which was used
to such an extent that it needed and
underwent material enlargement
800 years later. The route of the Pan
anna canal has been found carefully
delineated on an old globe made by
Jesuits in the middle of the sixteenth
century, and even the canal cutting
now in progress through the isthnus
of Corinth was extensively worked at
during the time of Nero. When we
consider the many advantages possess
ed by modern engineers as com pared
with their olden time brethren, we
cannot help but admire the boldness
of their conception in overcoming OBJ
stacles which even at present appear
lnsurmountable.

a vengeanc

A DECISION of great Importance to
capitalists has just been rendered by
Judge Samuel FL. Treat, of the United
States Court of the Southern Illinois
District. The case was an action of
foreclosure brought by the Equitable
Trust Company, of Hartford, Ct,
against DR.. E. S. Fowler, of Spring
field, ILL.,, to recover $25, 900 lent by
the Trust Company to DR.. Fowler ten
years ago. Judge Treat decided that
the charge made by the Trust Com
pany of 10 per cent. usury invalidates
the claim for interest, and that the
$14. 500 already paid as interest shall
be regarded as payment upon the
principal. An appeal will probably
be made.
