useful in overcoming torpidity of these organs.
Besides infusing more activity into them, this
excellent tonic endows them with additional
vigor, and enables them the better to undergo
the wear and tear of the discha- ging function
imposed Upon them by nature. Moreover, as
they are the channel for the escape of certain
impurities from the blood, increases their use-

of these important organs, they fall into a

Sponges.

1t used to be great puzzle to the
naturalists to tell whether sponges
were plants or animals. An Ordin-
ary observer, looking at them as
they grow in their natural state,
would surely be much more likely
to consider them to belong to the
former rather than the latter king
dom of living things. For sponges,
like plants, are fixed organisms, not
being able to move about from place
to place. Then there are some kinds
which are branched and mounted
upon stalk just as plants are. But
to the scientific observer these points
of resemblance would not have
much weight, because there are
many other forms of life which have
the same character, but are we'll
known to be animals. But even
when they applied the more funda-
mental tests it was hard matter
for the naturalists to tell the nature
of sponges. 1t was not, indeed, un-
til the microscope was discovered
that their true nature was known.
1t was then found that sponges
have characters almost precisely the
same as those of a little organism
that lives everywhere in pools of
stagnant water, and has long been
known to be true animal.-Golden
DdUs.

A Fight for Life.

A party of army officers who have
arrived here a few days ago from
Fort Gates, gives a description of
the most thrilling ride in the his
tory of this country. They were 70
hours in blizzard in coming from
Fort Lincoln, distance of 60 miles
or over an hour to mile. Their
vehicle. was an ambulance and was
drawn by four mules. During Mon
day night when the blizzard was at
its height, they were compelled to
shovel and plunge their way through
snow drifts from 6 to 10 feet deep
and the continual use of the whip
and moving sticks was necessary to
keep the exhausted animals on the
walk. The officers state that at the
time the blizzard hid the mules
from view, and but for the instinct
of the animals they would have
been lost and frozen to death. AT
one point they passed an Indisn
camp, but the savages would mot
give them shelter as their supersti-
tion taught them that this would be
fatal to them. They arrived at Fort
Lincoln without covering to their
ambulance, this protection having
been blown away by the first nights
wind, and within 30 minutes from
their arrival one of the animals
dropped dead. 1t was a fight for
life.-Bismdrck Tribune.

some political advantage from that

services on the fronntier, in the war
