Minute Writing.

1t was thought wonderful achieve
ment, when Paris was beseiged by the
Germans, to photograph one side OF a
newspaper on tissue paper small enough
to be enclosed in tiny quill A carrier
pigeon conveyed the quill out of the be-
leaguered city to those who read its con-
tents through a magnifying glass. But
neither photography nor the microscope
was known in the days of Cicero, yet
he mentions that the whole of Homer's
Iliad had been written on piece of
parchment so small as to be enclosed in a
nutshell. A Frenchman, after years of
practising, wrote the four canonical pray
ers of the Roman Church on one of his
finger nails. He was proud of his ex-
plot, but poet is mentioned by Pliny,
who excelled him in the art of minute
penmanship. He wrote a couplet in let
tels of gold, but so minute was the writ
ing that the bit of paper on which it was
inscribed was enclosed in the husk of a
grain of wheat. Paper WorId.

Growing Old.

It is the solemn thought connected
with middle life that life's last business is
begun in earnest; and it is then, midday
between the cradle and the grave, that a
man begins to marvel that he let the days
of youth go by so half enjoyed. 1t is the
pensive autumn feeling; it is the sensa-
tion of half sadness that we experience
when the longest day of the year is past,
and every day that follows is shorter, and
the light fainter, and the feebler shadows
tell that Nature is fastening with gigan-
tic footsteps to her winter grave. So
does man look back upon his youth.
When the first gray hairs become visible,
when the unwelcome truth fastens itself
upon the mind that man is no longer
going uphill, but down, and that the sun
is always westering, he looks back on
things behind. When weewere children
we thought as children But now there
lies before us manhood, with its earnest
work, and then old age, and then the
grave, and then home. There is a second
youth for man, better and holier than his
first, if he will look on, and not look
back. F. W. Robertson.

received, was this: The snakes were
released at the four quarters Of the
earth in order that they might find
rain-god (whose form is that Of gigan-
tic serpent), wherever he might be, aud
tell him of the honor which his children
had done him, and of the urgent need Of
rain among them. This is symbolized in
the circle and cross lines before men
toned. The part of the heavens from
which rain came indicated the region
where the god was at the time that he re-
ceived the message. This helps some
what to explain the reverence, we might
almost say fondness, which the Moki feels
for the snakes. The released snakes act
not only as messengers, but also as am
bassadors, to the rain-god and a snake
which has been we'll treated would pre-
sent the Moki's prayer much more forci-
bly, than one which had been roughly
handled.
Snakes of all varieties procurable were
used, including the rattlesnake, about 20
per cent. Of the latter. Many Of them
were numbed from long coninementand
frequent handling, though when given a
chance to escape, as they were dropped
on the ground, they showed decided
signs of life.

The Mice and the Cat.

A number of Mice once held conven-
tiOn for the purpose of adopting means of
defense against Cat that was making
herself very pervasive in the neighbor-
hood, and finally decided to put bell on
the monster. A committee appointed
for the purpose straightway put a brass
bell on the Cat while she was taking an
evening nap. But thereafter the sound
of the bell was so terrifying that no mouse
could sleep when the cat was anywhere
in the vicinity, even when there was no
real danger; and, finally, the alarm be-
came so general that the neighborhood
was entirely cleared of mice, and the
Cat held possession of the field.

Fish in the Pacific.

The excitement about the Canadian
fisheries gives hint as to the prospective
value of one of the undeveloped re-
sources of the Northwest. The shore
fishing of the Provinces, on the Atlantic
side, is of sufficient Importance to bring
the United States and its neighbors to
the verge of quarrel, but it is a small
matter compared with the opportunities
open in the Northwestern waters on this
side of the continent. The mackerel
fishing, which is the present matter of
dispute, is of less importance than the
Banks cod6shing, yet the whole extent
of the Newfoundland Banks is only
about 70, 900 square miles, while in the
Pacific and Okhotsk we have 800, 900
square miles, in Behring Sea almost as
much more, and around The Choumagin
Islands $4,000; altogether nearly ten
times the area of the Atlantic Banks.
The total money value per annum of the
fisheries on the Banks and off the east
coast of the British North American
Provinces is in the neighborhood of
$25, 900, 900, which embraces the catch
of the vessels of all nations resorting there.
When the fisheries of the North Pacific
are developed to anything like the extent
of those of the North Atlantic they will
form one of the great industries of this
coast San Francisco Call.

Many amusing stories are told of the
sayings and doings of the astonished
backwoodsmen when the first lines of
railroad began operations in America.
When the first Maine railroad was built
the conductor, Mr.. Pitman, left Water
vile on his morning train. 1t was rain
ing hard.
When he arrived at North Belgrade, a
fag-station, not seeing any flag, he ran
by the station. As the train passed the
red flag was hurFiedlS outaNe
Mr.. Pitman stopper his tfaih, and
backing up to the station, called out to

We have SO often seen fatal results follow
the declaration that it can be cured, that we
have unconsciously settled down in the belief
that this disease must necessarily prove fatal.
1t is true that occasionally community has
witnessed an isolated case of what may ap-
propriately be termed spontaneous recovery,
but to what combination of favorable crcum-
stances this result was due none have hitherto
been found able to determine.
We have now the gratifying fact to announce
that the process by which nature effects this
wonderful change is no longer a mystery to
the medical profession, and that the changes
brought about in the system under favorable
circumstances by intrinsic causes may be made
as certainty and moro expeditiously by the use
of the proper remedy. In other words, nature
is initiated and assisted.
Tuberculous matter is nothing more or less
than nourishment imperfectly organized.
Now, IL VIC can procure the organization of
this food material so that through the process
OF elective affinity it may take its place in the
system, we can cure the disease. This is Just
what Piso's Cure for Consumption does II
arrests at once the progress of the disease by
preventing the further supply of tuberculous
matter, for while the system is under its in
niGeih1oe an nonrishment Nc IS organized and as
tion, night-sweats, hectic fever, and all other
characteristic symptoms of Consumption.
Many physicians are now using this medi-
cine, and all write that Ii comes fully up to its
recommendations and makes Consumption one
of the diseases they can readily cure.
The forming stage OF disease is always the
most auspcious for treatment This fact should
induce persons 10 resort TO the use of Pso's Cure
when the cough is first noticed, whether IL has
q consumptive diathesis for its cause or not,
for this remedy cures all kinds of coughs with
unequalled facility and promptness. In coughs
from simple cold, two or three doses of the
medicine have been found sufficient to remove
the trouble. So in all diseases of the throa
and lungs, with symptoms Stimulating those
Of Consumption, Piso'S Cure is tho only infal-
lible remedy.

Cure for Consumption, is fair sample of the
