CleStnQtt'S Cash StOre!

Eighteen months ago I began the
contest for public patronage with a
light pocket>book but hopeful heart,
regardless Of an army OF rival merch-
ants-strong In experie nee and capi-
tai. Their weak spot; their credit
system; my only strength: my cash
rule trust to no one, peasent or king.
In this merchants warfare, Cash
against Credit" 90 victories out of a
hundred are won by Cashl The Cash
Inan on top, the Credit man under.
Now declare and mean to make my
prices prove my declaration. that n
strictly Cash Store can and does
charge from 3 to 10 per cent less prof.
IL than any store that gives credit, and
as there Is but one strictly cash store
In many counties there Is the place to
buy for people who have cash to
spend, and that place is Chestnutt's
One Price Cash Store.

Ones own Life ExDerienoes.

What would be the effect upon litera-
ture if every person of spirit and the
ability to write fairly well were to en-
body in a single romance the most vivid
and commanding experiences of his own
life, from the time when he began to
think to his maturity, and tell faithfully
the most sacred emotions of his own
heart, while faithfully photographing
the people and the life around him? We
should have a food of intimate autobio-
graphies, but slightly guarded by the
veil of fiction; heart breaking confess
sions, interspersed with broad views of
the beauty that there is in life, and
dashed with humor; and whose reality
would command our attention and our
sympathies in spite of ourselves.-Boston

Snake Bite and yellow Fever.

DR.. Urias da Silveira has sent to the
Medico-C hirurgical society of Rio de ia
metro a quantity Of a vegetable substance
which is very common in the provinces
Minas geraes and Barra mansa-and
which, he says, he has used with great
advantage in the bites of cobras, espe-
cially during the period in which the
most serious symptoms-hemorrhages
and ataxo-adynamic phenomena-ap-
peared. He points out analogies between
the effects of snake bite and of yellow
fever, both of a symptomatic and patho-
logical nature, and suggests that the
drug he sent should be tried in cases of
yellow fever.-Scientific American.

The Highest Inhabited VALLEY.

Presently, directly in out front, stood q
great high hill, and it seemed at first
glance as though further progress was
impossible. But mans ingenuity over
comes mighty obstacles, and as this one
could not be turned the road had been
made to ascend its steep side by a series
Of zigzags or swing this way and that
way and that no fewer than nineteen
times ere the top is reached. From
where we left the torrent bed to its sum-
init this barrier is at least 200 feet high,
and when we had reached the top l found
myself at the western end of the upper
Engadine.
This is the Hottest, most extensive high
valley in Europe, and perhaps the high
est inhabited valley in the world. Its
average height is 5,400 feet above the
level of the sea, and that is higher than
the top of famous Rigi, near Lucerne,
which everybody thinks a wonderful al
titude, 1t is a plain forty or fifty miles
long and a mile or so in width, which

meadow lands, and several Alpine lakes
hat finally flow off into the Inn river,
and the whole inclosed in majestic noun
tains so awfully high that they are for
ever covered with snow and colossal
glaciers, all so Enthusiastically shaped and
glittering that the spot has quite a polar
aspect, In other parts of Switzerland
eternal snow is never found below an al
titude of about s, 600 feet, but this limit
is not reached on the borders of the En-
gadine until we ascend as high as O., 900.

Shingled roofs are unknown in Eng

two men, intelligent English working
men, about the construction of buildings
in their country, and they both asked
me (when l told them how they made
roofs in America) what shingles were;
they had never seen or heard of them.
and laughed, when l described th"rr Mt
the Yankee notion of maxim w.Olen

roofs must be much better, every way,
than u shiEgled ones. In Whittlesea l
saw square topped garden walls sur
mounted by caps of thatch, to shed the

where one could sit u IF doors and be
protected from the rays of the sun-not
even an awning.-William T. Tidsley in

A Good Kind of Face.

Memory of Events. This is shown by
a wide, full forehead in the center.
Reasoning Power.-A high, long and
well defined nose and n broad face ex-
hibits this great faculty. .
Moral Courage.-This faculty mani
tests itself by wide nostrils, short neck
and eyes set directly in front.
Language.-This faculty is exhibited
in many parts of the face, particularly by
a large mouth and large, full eyes,
opened wide.
Self Esteem.-This faculty shows itself
in a long or deep upper lip. Large self
esteem gives n dignity, self control and
perfect independence.
Firmness.-T presence of this fac
ulty, when very large is indicated by a
long, broad chin. Firmness is synony-
nous with willfulness, perseverance and
stability.
Perception of Character. This is indi-
caed by a long, high nose at the lower
end or tip. This faculty is very useful,
if not indispensable, to a judge in the
exercise of the functions of his office.
Power of Observation.-The situation
of this faculty is in the face just above
the top Of the nose, filing out the fore
head to a level with he parts on each
side of the nose. 1t is u faculty which
enables n to concentrate the mind upon
the subject being discussed.
ConscientiousnesS- This is shown in
the face by a square jaw, a bony chin,
prominent cheek bones and a general
squareness of the features of the entire
face. To be Conscientious means that
one has a sense of justice, honesty of
purpose, rectitude of character and moral
coulage.-Pittsburg Dispatch.

A ships chronometer is so adjusted as
to remain always in one position, no
matter what the motion of the ship may
be, and on that account it keeps better
time than a watch that is placed in the
pocket during the day, on a table at
night, and is more or less irregularly
Jared from day to day by the motion of
the body. A pocket watch that gains or
loses only a second a day is considered an
excellent timepiece, but in order to be SO
considered itmust make the gain steadily
one day after the other, or lose in the
same way-it must not be a second fast
one day and a second slow the next

~ distinguished officer said to me, after
we had inspected Edison's photograph
at the Press club by favor of Col. Gou-
raud, 81 wonder can that be adapted to
naval and military use2" Subsequent
conversation with him developed these
ideas. There is hardly a campaign of
which we nave a complete record; there
is hardly an accident at sea of which we
have ever heard, or that did not give rise
to the question of the exact wording and
precise emphasis on the wording of an
order. The most conspicuous instance
in modern times of a misunderstanding
was perhaps the case of the charge at
Balaklava, but. the ceaseless flow of bat
tie papers in the American magazines
goes to show that what happened in the
case of our Light brigade happened in
substance pretty often in your great war.
Now, if there were a portable form of
the photograph there could be n record
of the orders given, whether in case of
an action ashore or an accident aloat.
Perhaps Mr.. Edison will copdescend to
give the subject his attention.
But meanwhile / have spotted" a
use for the photograph that probably
has occurred to no n else. 1t has been
my lot in days gone by to attend perhaps
d" 6AthNIl vi "ANAAiIil SAP1iA
ments han any one else not an artillery
officer, and 1 can see how if a number Of
monographs, synchronized, were placed
along a range there would be a better
and clearer record Of the path of a shot
or shell than there is at present where
the use Of screens inevitably cause sone
DETECTION and some loss of energy, how
ever light. But in applying the pho
nograph to military and naval purposes
it does seem to be necessary that there
should be found some more durable, even
if less sensitive, material than the wax
cylinder as the receiver of the vibrations.
That such a material exists can hardly
be doubted; but it may interest Mr..
Edison to know that already some of the
smartest military minds in England are
considering his invention with a view to
its adoption for, or adaptation to, mill
tary purposes. l do not feel at liberty
to say moro on the matter at present.
