The treatment Of many thousands Of cases
of those chronic weaknesses and distressing
ailments peculiar to females, at the Invalids'
Hotel and Surgical Institute, Buffalo, N. Y,
has afforded a vast experience in nicely
adapting and thoroughly testing remedies

DIR. Pierce's EaVOrite Prescription

and valuable experience. Thousands of
testimonials, received from patients and
from physicians who have tested it in the
more aggravated and obstinate cases which
had baff1ed their skill, prove it to be the
most wonderful remedy ever devised for
the relief and cure of suffering women. 1t

1t is that impurity in the blood, which, ac-
cumulating in the glands of the neck, pro-
duces unsightly Jumps or swellings; which
causes painful running sores on the arms,
legs, or feet; which developes ulcers in the
eyes, ears, or nose, often causing blindness or
deafness; which is the origin of pimples, can
cerous growths, or the many other manifesto
tons usually ascribed to "humOrs;" which,
fastening upon the lungs, causes consumption

The Shamrock.

The emblem OF Ireland is not known by
It's lower, but by its leaves. The tradi-
tiOn runs that st. Patrick, when preach
log in Ireland, gathered the leaves of
this plant, which contains three lobes,
or leaves, and thus illustrates the Holy
Trinity. Bentham, in his British
Flora, says that oxtails acetocella or
wood sorrel, is the original shamrock,
having pale pink, or nearly white
lowers. This is quite plentiful in the
woods, and in a climate like Ireland,
easy enough to obtain on the seven
teenth of March, the day tina: all Irish
men like to have few sprigs for their
button hole. or on the cap or bonnet.
Others contented that the original plant
S a clover, and the plant that at pre-
sent, at least, is the commonly accepted
plant, called the shamrock. There are
varieties os this plant that have larger
leaves than the common clover one
with dark brown, the other with purp-
lish leaves, with zone in each leaf.
This appears the kind most acceptable

1t does not localizs the work in a
particular region OF the body, for all the

seduce the child into efforts touching

He has natural disposition to perform
light but frequently recurring acts,

rather exact slow and intense efforts

Water Essential for Grinding Wheat

One OF the largest millers In the
United States. c. A. Pilsbury, Is cred-
tied with asserting that millers do not
dampen their wheat before grinding is.
This Is correct OF some millers, but not
Of all, and the reason Is not attributable
to differences 10 millers, but to differ
ences in wheat. Most OF the California
wheat ground In this state Is moistsued
because It Is necessary to do SO. On the
other hand, Oregon wheat will net
stand dsmpening, as 1t contains enough
water without this treatment.
On this account local milIers prefer
California wheat, as they can add the
necessary water for nothing, which
they hsYe to pay for In the Oregon ar
ticle. When shipped abroad or stored
for months 81 tidewater. there is less
difference, as wheat which is not moist
will become so in damp atmosphere.
California wheat when afioat gains two
to three per cent. from absorption OF
moisture. 4 certain percentage of
water in wheat Is essential to render Il
tit for grinding, and the moisture has to
be either found in the grain or applied
artiicislly thereto.

A Stupenduous Mystery.

Proctor declared that few even
among scientific men appreciate the
amazing mystery OF the force we call
gravity. Wonderful as is the familiar
attraction OF bodies 80 The earth, gravi-
tation is altogether a greater mystery
when considered as a property possessed
by matter. The universally of the
property which belongs not merely to
this or that substance, but to every sub
stance, solid, liquid or gaseous, and not
10 such sggregations of matter, but to
the ultimate molecules and atoms is an
amazing, II not an appalling mystery.
Here is matter. which men call inert,
rot merely possessing inherent force,
bot with its whole texture instinct with
inherent, unexplained, probably mex
piCable power. But IL the universally
Of gravitation, and the infinite range OF
the force thus exerted by all matter are
wonderful, infinitely more wonderful is
the instantaneous nature of It's opera
tion. This quality OF universal gravi-
tation is indeed so wonderful that few
vino hear of 1t for the first time can even
admit that it is possible. Yet :he as,
stronomer has been able to demonstrate
that the interval Of time required tol
gravity TO extend Its action from one
body in space to any other body, even II
separated by distance so great tha,
light at $4,000 miles per second takes
thousands of years TO cross 1t, is less
than any interval which can be meas

The United States signal service
station at Pixies Peak is the highest
signal station in the world, and is also
the highest inhabited portion of the
globe. 1t was opened In the month of
September, 1873. That 1t was q wise
provision OF the Government In sstab-
fishing a signal station at this point is
no longer questioned, the facts having
already demonstrated its prseticabilit
and the present success promises that
Pixies Peak signal station is yet to
stand at the head of all astronomical
and meteorological stations in the
world. This point is wonderfully favor
ed by nature for the study of astronomy
and meteorology. The rarity of the at
mosphere brings out remarkable bril-.
liancy and cIsarness to the stars and all
the heavenly bodies. The nights are al.
most always cloudless, and cloudy days
are the exception. Nine-tenths of ths
storms are below the Peak.

At recent meeting OF the National
Academy of Sciences in New York,
Professor A. E. Verrill, of Yale col
lege, described the physical and geolo-
gical character of the sea bottom off
our coast, especially that which lies
beneath the Gulf Stream s.The
depths OF the ocean TEEN with life.
Sharks are seen by thousands, and
countless dolphins but 1t seems
strange that not a f1shbone is ever
dredged apon. A piece of wood may
be dredged up once q year, but it is
honeycombed by the boring she'll fish
and falls to pieces at the touch of the
hand. This shows what destruction is
constantly going on In these depths. II

would be eaten by fish with the excep-
tion OF the metal, and that would cor
rode and disappear. Not a bone of a

dredged up after cruising for mouths in

"As to this quantity OF light at the
bottom OF the sea there has been much
dispute. Animals dredgsd from below
seven hundred fathoms either have no
eyes, or faint indications of them, or
else their eyes are very large and pro-

that II the creatures In those lower
depths have any color, 1t is Of orange or
