the people OF Missouri and adjoining
states that | only received three
hundred and eighty five dollars on
policy of three thousand dollars on

all good honest citizens to beware
of this unprinc,pled and defraudine
company and keep your money. l
wrote to the company, or had nv
attorney to do so, tor an explanation
as to why they never paid any more
money. but the result was 70 answer,
which is very good proof that they
are not reliable nor honest, and
believe them to be a fraud and a
perfect swindle on the people. Such
men should not be allowed to operate

pie out of their morey, or rathe,

The Formation Of North America.

The opinion is expressed by an emf
nent American scientist, in a recent lee
ture, that the North American CONT
nent had the beginning of its formation
in islands of matter rising out of the i'm
mense ocean, which grew until they fl
nally touched each other. Many of these
islands were volcanoes that threw up
matter that had formed below the sur
face of the water, and were larger below
the water than above it. The Hawaiian
islands have had many volcanoes, and
were much formed by them. The whole
area above the sea is no more than that
of the state of Massachusetts,, but their
combined bases must be equal to the
whole OF New England and New York.
Thus the original islands of this CONT
nent could easily have been made to en-
large and JON each other, and the gran
tie rock is so abundant was once erupted
from volcanoes, like flowing lava.
Among the first volcanic islands must
ave been Greenland, Canada, east of
Winnipeg, the Atlantic district, the
Rocky mountains and the Sierra Neva-
das; but as the islands rose and enlarged
great depiessions would naturally COM
mence and go on, and in this way the
depressions of Hudson's bay. the Missis-
sippi valley, and the Salt Lake and Ne
vada basins were formed. These de-
pressions would fill with massive
sediments, which would eventually be-
come rocks, and the depressions would
ave n saucer or platter shape.-Chicago

Madame Marchesi gave, a few even
ings ago, n soiree musicale, which was
one of the most crowded and brilliant of
Saint-Saens. the composer of Henry
WILL" were among the guests. i must
confess that | could not discern in the
Able List that fat and very big old man
in a straight. tight-fitting cassock, with
large feet and a face embellished with
two enormous warts, any trace of the
lady-killer of the last quarter of a CEN
tury. His long, thick white hair, reach
ing to his shoulders and carefully brushed
and arranged, was really the only at
t~ractive point about his appearance. Yet
this man has inspired ladies of high de-
gree with such devoted yet humble at
tachment that they refused to sit down
in his presence. He looked like a very
large old French peasant cure astray in a
fashion ible drawing room.
Rubenstein, with his short, flat nose
and tempest of wild hair keeps his
aspect as of a savage Beethoven, by
which he became familiar, several years
ago,t to the music-lovers of the United
States. Saint Saens is Il modest looking
gentleman, with dark eyes and hair, and
n fine intellectual brow. He interested me
most of the three; first, because greatly
admire his works; and, secondly, he did
not pose as a celebrity, as did the two
other famous guests of the evening"

Besides Venus, Mercury and the sus-
pected intra-Mercurial Vulcan, Mons. j.
c. Houzeau, of the Brussels observatory,
thinks there may be another planet be-
tween the earth and the sun. A tele-
scopic object has seven times been OBJ
served near Venus, the last time in 1884,
and an examination of the data thus fur
nished makes it appear probable that
this body is an unknown planet with an
orbit about equal to that of Venus or a
little larger, the latter case making it our
nearest planetary neighbor. 1t must
come in conjunction with Venus at in
tervals which are multiples of a little less
than three years. The hypothetical
planet is called Meth, and ambitious
amateur astronomers are advised to
search for it.-Arkansaw Traveller.

The recovery of digestion, and the re-
sumption of activity by the liver, bowels
and kidneys, are milestones which mark
our progress on the road to health. They
speedily become perceptible when Hostel
ter's Stomach Bitters is used by the inva-
lid. Nothing so surely and expeditiously
consumes the distance to the desired goal.
As no bodily function can suffer inter
ruption without impairing the gen.
eral health of the system, SO the
system can never acquire perfect
vigor, health's synonym. until
that function be actively resumed. Take,
for instance, digestion. a suspension OF

If the organs upon which it DEVELOPS
grow weak, biliousness, constipation,
headache, poverty of the blood, and a
hundred other symptoms supervene,
which indicate Enthusiastically the baneful
general influence of dyspepsia. The dis
appearance ofall these symptoms, through
the use of the Bitters. show with what
thoroughness it removes their cause.

rHE HARMONY OF coLoRs.


Selections in Fitting UP Apartments,
Dressing, Etc.-HInts to Merchants.
BY harmony of colors we understand
color placed side by side in such a man
ncr that they do not injure the effect of
each other; rather. on the contrary,
complete each other, i. e., they gain in
intensity.
Those who are familiar with the har-
mony of colors can, by using objects of
familiar use, make such selections in fit
ting up apartments, in dressing. etc, so
that with the greatest simplicity they are
able to produce a more favorable effect
than is possible with the most extrava-
giant expenditure without n sense of har-
mony in color.
A merchant, dealing in colored goods,
can very greatly improve the appearance
of his stock by knowing how to group
them in such a way as 20 produce a har-
monious effect. Very often, owing to
a lack of taste with reference to colors
among dealers, it will be found that the
silks in one shop will appear much
fresher and brighter than in another.
This difference in effect to colors is, how
ever, nothing more or less than n mer-
chant rrang his goods so that the col
ors are in harmony, while the other does
not follow any definite plan. In the
first instance the goods gain, while in the
second they lose in intensity of color
The attention of the ladies is particu-
larly called to the importance of har-
mony in colors, for the most of them in
the selection of their colored dresses,
bonnets, and trimmings, produce the
greatest discord in the composition of the
colors. Harmony in color does not de-
pend on the will or caprice or personal
taste of an individual, but it is based on
the Interchangeable laws of nature, which
we shall Immediately discuss.
Red and Green-A red body reflects
green rays, while on the other hand, a
green body reflects red rays. Therefore
green is the color which completes red,
and similarly red is the colorwhich com
pletes green. Both colors, therefore,
gain in intensity.
Blue and Orange-A blue body often
reflects orange rays, and inversely
an orange body will frequently re-
fleet the blue rays. Orangeis is, therefore,
the complementary color of blue, and
vice versa, therefore each color intensi-
fies the other.
Violet and Greenish Yellow-A violet
body reflects greenish yellow, and in
versely a greenish yellow body reflects
violet. Both %colors, therefore, complete
each other, and intensity each other.
Indigo and Yellow Indigo reflects
yellow, and yellow indigo rays, hence
they are complementary and intensity
each other.
1t would carry us too far to describe
all the other colors which are compile
mentary. and Printer

The windows of some of the South

ut is an oil specially prepared to
smooth an angry sea- said n dealer.
Boiled oil or animal oil will do pretty
well, but this oil will stand a greater de-
gree of cold without congealing than or
binary oils. 1t is n secret mixture of
common oils. The demand for it has
arisin through the publication by the
photographic office of the value of oil
in a breaking sea. 1t has become the
fashion to use oil. 1t is n singular char
acteristic, but many old sea captains
boast that they are not book sailors, and
take Il pride in refusing to do what the
books recommend and in refusing to
take up with what they call new-fangled
notions. They have heard about the
value Of oil ever since whales were first
captured off Nantucket, but it vas not
the fashion to use oil, so they let the
ships ink."-New York Sun.

A LITTLE SUFFERER
ci,ansed, Purified and Beautiied by the
Cuticura Remedies.

1t affords me pleasure to give you this
report OF the cure Of our little grandchild
by your Cuticura Remedies. When SIX
months old his left hand began to swell
and had every appearance Of a large boil.
We poulticed it, but all to no purpose.
About five months after it became n run
ming sore. Soon other sores formed. He
then had two OF them on each hand, and
as his blood became more and more i'm
pure it took less time for them to break
out A sore came on the chin, beneath
the under lip, which was very offensive.
His head was one solid scab discharging a
great deal. This was his condition at -
months old, when | undertook the care of
him, his mother having died when he was
ton (~scrofula, of %course). He could walk
q little, but could not get up if he fell
down, and could not move when in bed,
having no use in his hands. | immedia-
tely commenced with the Cuticara Rene
dies, using the Cuticura and Cuticura
Soap freely, and when he had taken one
bottle of the Cuticura Resolvent his head
was completely cured, and he was improv-
ed in every way. We were very much
encouraged, and continued the use OF the
Remedies for a year and a half. One sore
after another healed. a bony matter form
ing in each one of these FIVE deep ones
just before healing. which would finally
grow loose and were taken out; then they
would heal rapidly. One of these ugly
bone formations | preserved. After taking
a dozen and a half bottles he was compile
tely cured, and is now at the age of G
years a strong and healthy child. The
scars on his hands must always remain;
his hands are strong, though we once
feared he would never be able to use
them. All that physicians did Tor him did
him no good. All who saw the child before
using the Cuticura Remedies and see the
child now consider it a wonderful cure. If
the above facts are OF any use to you. you
are at liberty to use them. Mrs. 4. s.
briggs, 6l2 Clay ST., Bloomington, I'll.

ton than he appeared to his grandmother,

British capitalists are constructing a
railway in Asia Minor, the first section
of which, from Mersina to Tarsus, has
just been officially ~inaugurated. The
opening Of the road was made the occa-
sion of a grand jubilee, in which the
local officials heartily joined. A dozen
sheep were sacrificed, there were re-

DAY is OVER.

Lower and lower the light Is failing
Waves of color that come and go;
Yellow and purple slowly paling,
Flush of pink in the after glow;
Booming bees forsake the clover
Day is over!
Faster and faster from hazy hollow,
Night is closing on field and wood;
Out Of the west the %late-bound swallow
Hastens back to the crumpled brood;
Stately winged, the night-hawks hover
Day is Overt
Forest and fallow grow dark together.
A bell in the distance sounding slow;
Still the light of the rosy weather
yelling up in the after glow;
Now the starry skies discover
Day is overt

ATTITUDES AND HEART DISEASE.

The Risk Which Some People Run-Dan-
gers of the Higher Levels.
The Medical Journal has just reported
a paper read before the American Climat-
illogical association, by DR.. A. L.
Loomis, of this city, which may be of
vital Importance to many people propos-
ing to visit mountain resorts the coming
summer. DIR. Loomis datails four cases
in which heart disease was brought on
by n change from a lower to a higher
altitude. Two of these cases were per-
sons going to st. Regis lake, in the Adj
rondacks, at an elevation of only 1000
feet. One was that of a visitor to the
Catskill mountains, and the fourth had
gone to Colorado. Though a relief was
afforded them by a return to lowerlev-
els, they all died within four or five
weeks.
AS the result of his experience in
twenty-six cases, DIR. LOOMS concludes
that "the risks which one with ever
slight cardiac insufficiency runs by pass
ing from a lower to a higher altitude is
certainly very great; and, if the INSULT
cheney be extensive, such change be-
comes Immediately dangerous" This
conclusion, strongly supported as it is by
DIR. LOOMS data, is especially important
when it is remembered that cardiac in
sufiiciency may exist in those who give
no evidence of it while at, or moder-
ately near, the sea level.
