"a petroleum picnic" is somewhat
novel idea, but at Baku, on the Caspian
Sea (the new coil City" of southeastern
Russia) such jaunts are of daily or rath-
er nightly occurrence at certain seasons
of the year. Among the naphtha springs
of the neigh'oorhood is one which
spouts up from the bottom of the sea, at
short distance from the shore, where

landlocked bay in front of the town per-

disturbed upon the surface of the water
for many yards round. To visit this
spot by moonlight, in small steam
launch kept expressly for the purpose,
is now quite a fashionable. amusement
with the Russian residents of Baku. On
reaching the spot lighted match is
thrown into the floating oil, and instant
ly the whole surrounding surface blazes
up into veritable lake of fire, through
which the boat, cased in iron as pro-
lection against the flames, is driven at
full speed, casting off fiery ripples in
every direction, while the faces of the
crew, looking wan and CHASTITY beneath
the internal glare, suggest train of
ghosts on their way across the river of
death. The whole spectacle is very
grand and unearthly, but unfortunately
it can only be enjoyed in perfectly
calm weather, and the sudden spring
ing up of breeze from the sea often
spoils it at the very last moment.

When Hostetter's Stomach Bitters first made their
appearance violent purgation, the lancet and
narcotics were measures resorted to with little
regard to the idiosyncrasies of the sick. Now
infinitely more satisfactory results are accom-
pHshed with the Bitters. The constipated are no
longer dosed and drenched, the fever stricken
are not weakened by bleeding, and sedatives
have taken the places of opiates. Dyspepsia
nervousness, insomnia, irregularity of the bow

cessfully treated with this popular tonic and reg
ulator. AS a medicated stimulant, it is profes
sionally commended, and is preferable, as 8
means of renewing exhausted energy, TO the av-
erage tonics These statements rest upon ample
evidence.

A Petrified Community.
1Omaha Cor. ST. Louis Globe-Democrat !

COnaha Cor. st. Louis Gobe-Dem ocrat.
Editor Smith, of the Ainsworth
(Neb) News, arrived here yesterday,
bringing with him interesting specimens
of petrifed prairie dogs, snakes, and
owls, to be added to the Nebraska ex-
hibit at New Orleans. The petrifactions
have the appearance of being made OF
heavy yellowish clay, but are undeniably
genuine. The country about Ainsworth
has long been noted for curious fossils
and petrifactions. It borders on the
''bad-land" of Dakota, and, while not so
much of desert, has many of the same
features. Mr.. Smiths story about the
finding of his specimens reads like a
fairy tale. He says that some weeks
ago party of hunters struck a hitherto
unexplored canyon near Plum Greek,
about twelve miles northwest of Aims
worth. As they rode into it they saw a
prairie-dog village, and at the mouth of
each of the mounds was one of the little
animals sitting on its launches with paws
folded across the breast, in q perfectly
natural manner. Contrary to their usual
custom, the dogs did not dive into their
houses at the approach of the strange
visitors. To the great surprise of the
latter they remained motionless. In
vestigation showed that every one of
them was "stone" dead. The whole
village of dogs had been killed at the
same moment by some unknown power,
evidently ages ago, and then petrified.
Stranger still. the hunters found scat
tered among the dogs, and in the same
condition, the owls and snakes which
are known to share their homes. We're
it not for the specimens brought in by
MIR. Smith, and the fact that he is known
to be reliable man, the story would be
put down as Munchausen-like lie,
There are many theories as to the entire
destruction of plant and animal life in
the Dakota "bad-lands." The most
commonly accepted is that OF volcanic
action; the OVERLOOKING of the country
with molten lava from subterranean fires.
The effect of this was also probably felt
as far east as Ainsworth. Whether the
death and subsequent turning to stone
of the inhabitants of the prairie-dog
village can be traced to the same cause
will make an interesting study for
scientists.

For every line is fraught with love,

How hard her stiffened fingers stroye
To fashion each one better.

The love it speaks is like the love
Which fills the whole forever;

To loftier endeaVor.
1t summons up ten thousand oeeos
Of selfshnesS before me,
The patient toll of weary years,
The cares of her who bore me.

And grateful tears are dropping on
