The political situation in the Caro-
linas is thus summed up by the Phil
adelphia LGdger: 1.-THE Democrats of
Carolina are reported to have fixed up
a kind of peace between the factions,
and the Republicans of North Carolina
have also come together in some kind
of harmony, but the Alliance people
are getting the best of it all around,
the compromises usually resulting in
the choice of Alliance men as candi-
dates whether labeled Democrat or
Republican, There are besides inde-
pendent candidates in most of the
Congressional districts, making the
outcome very uncertain"

How ~ &C. Can CURED

By taking Hoods sarsaparilla, which, by
the remarkable cures it has accomplished,
often when other medicines have failed, has
proven itself to be potent and peculiar
medicine for this disease. Some of these
cures are really wonderful. If you suffer from
scrOfula, be sure to try Hoods SarsapariIla.
"My daughter Mary was afflicted with scrOf-
ulOus sore neck from the time she was 22mOnths
old till she became six years of age. Jumps
formed in her neck, and one Of them after
growing to the size Of pigeons egg, became
running sore for over three years. We gave
her Hoods Sarsaparilla, when the lump and
all indications of scrofula entirely dis
appeared, and now she seems to be a healthy
child" j. S. CARLILE, Nauright, N. ].

WHAT ES
SCROFULA

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
and death. Being the most ancient, it is the
most general Of all diseases or affections, for
very few persons are entirely free from it.

WHY Docs the Earth Quake ?

The earthquake theory which seems
most probable, and the one which has
the most adherents, is the one which tells
us that the ''quake" is caused by an ef-
fort of internal heat to make its escape
through weak part of the surrounding
earth crust. How thick the earth's crust
is would be hard matter to find out for
a certainty. The German government
is now at work upon shaft Qf it has not
been recently abandoned), near Schlade-
bach, with the object especially of OBJ
tanning trustworthy data concerning the
rate of increase in the earth's tempera-
ture as it nears the interior. The last
statement the writer read concerning
this shaft said that it was at that time
1892 meters in depth The temperature
was about 48 degs. centigrade, equal
to about 100 Fahrenheit. If it increases
uniformly as the depth increases, as it
has heretofore, the boiling point of water
will be reached at about 5000 meters
providing the shaft could be sunk to
that depth). which is equal to about two
miles

which platinum melts would be found to
be at a depth of forty-five miles
According to these figures the earths
crust cannot be more than one-ninetieth
of its radius.
Professor Newcomb, connected with
the naval observatory at Washington,
said at the time of the August earth
quake in 1884: The only common sense
explanation of an earthquake, to my
mind is that down in the bowels of the
earth say from 90 to 100 miles beneath
the surface, there is fluid matter, boiling
at a white heat, which as it gradually
becomes cooled, contracts, leaving
space between it and the solid parts, and
the heavy weight of the earth above the
vacant place causes the earth to sink,
then you have your earthquake. st

To Prepare LIQUID Glue.

Liquid glue possessing great resisting
power, and particularly recommended
for wood and iron, is prepared, accord
ing to Hesz, as follows: Clear gelatine,
100 parts; cabinet makers glue, 100
parts; alcohol, % parts; alum, 2 parts,
the whole mixed with 200 parts of
20 per cent. acetic acid and heated on a
water bath for six hours. An ordinary
liquid glue, also well adapted for wood
and iron, is made by boiling together for
several hours 100 parts of glue, 260 parts
of water and sixteen parts of nitric acid

Hypnotisnl.

Hypnotism literally means IA condition
resembling sleep, artifcially produced;
that is, not by drugs, but by the mag
netic (0 effect of one mind upon another.
That condition of mind, however, to
which you doubtless refer as 'hypnot-
ism" is q different condition entirely. 1t
is not connected with sleep at all, but
could be defined to be that condition of
mind in one person Called the subject
set up by the attractive or impulsive
power of one or more minds, and in
which the subject, by the power of "sug-
gestion, is made to obey the behests or
commands of his operator or operators.
This power can be exerted at distance,
and the operator need not be known to
the subject. The operator is not legally
responsible for the acts of his subject,
not being personally concerned.-An-
swers in Herald of Health.

Where the Nickel Comes From.

In the Copper Cliff mine, near Sud-
bury, Canada, it is said more nickel is
being produced than the entire market
of the world calls for at current prices.
A little branch off the main line of the
Canadian Pacific railway, four miles in
length, leads out to the mine, which
opens into the face of q crag of the brown,
oxidized Laurentian rock, characteristic
of this region. The miners are now at
work at depth of about 300 feet below
the surface. AS fast as the nickel and
copper bearing rock is hoisted out, it is
broken up and piled upon long beds, or
ricks, of pine wood, to be calcined or
roasted, for the purpose of driving out
the sulphur which it contains. The roast
ing process is of the nature of lime kiln
ing or charcoal burning. Each great bed
of ore requires from one to two months
to roast. When roasted the rock goes to
the principal smelter, powerful blast
furnace 'jacketed" mining phrase
with running water, to enable it to sus-
tain the great heat requisite to reduce
the crude, obdurate mineral to fluidity.
The dross of the molten mass is first
allowed to flow off, and afterward the
nearly pure nickel and copper, blended
together in an alloy called the ''mat," or
matte, is drawn off at the base of the
furnace into the barrow pots and wheeled
away, still liquid and fiery hot, to cool
in the yard of the smelter, The mat con-
tains about 70 per cent of nickel, the re-
naming 30 per cent being mainly cop
per. When cold, the conical pot loaves
of mat can easily be cracked in pieces
by means of heavy hammers. The frag-
ments are then packed in barrels and
shipped to Swansea, in Wales, and to
Germany, where the two constituent
metals are separated and refined by secret
processes, which are very jealously
guarded by the manufacturers.
So jealously is the secret kept that no
one in America has yet been able to learn
the process, although one young metal
lurgist spent three years in Swansea as
common laborer in the factories in order
to obtain it. At present there are pro-
duced daily at the Copper Cliff mine
about ninety pot loaves of mat, each
weighing near 450 pounds, an output
which yields an aggregate of more than
1000 tons of nickel a year. Manufac-

Rainfall on the Plains.

Professor Frank Ii. Snow, of the Kan
sas State university, said several years
ago: But the fact that thousands of
new corners, from ignorance of the eli
mate, have attempted to introduce ordi-
nary agricultural operations upon the so
called plains, and have disastrously failed
in the attempt, has placed an undeserved
stigma upon the good name Of Kansas in
many far distant communities, and has
undoubtedly somewhat retarded immi-
grafton during the past few years. 1t is
time for the general recognition Of the
fact that, except in exceedingly limited
area where irrigation is possible, the
western third Of Kansas is beyond the
limit of successful agriculture"
The severe seasons of drought which
have occurred since the above conserva.
tive statement was written show the
whole truth Of the matter to be that the
westward advancing line of settlement
is byno means an isohyetal one, but that
it is merely a line representing in way
the overflow of the population of our
eastern states 1t needs but slight
acquaintance among the old settlers
in central Kansas to know that they
fear nowadays excessively dry weather
as much as they did twenty-five years
ago, The people who live farther west
are losing faith in the idea of an in
creased rainfall, as is evidenced by the
fact that over two hundred linear miles
of main canals have lately been con-
structed for irrigation purposes nearly.

A MONKEYS Weakness for Sweets.

One of the attractions at a church fair
recently held in this city was lottery
conducted ON Il small scale. Ten per.
sons contributed ten cents each Each
subscriber drew slip of paper from a
hat The slips were numbered from one
to ten The papers were then placed in
another hat, and monkey was allowed
to pick one out. The person who at the
first drawing had obtained the slip select
ed by the monkey was entitled to ninety
cents, ten cents going to the fair fund
After each drawing by the monkey the
slips were destroyed. One night young
man won over $50 at this little game of
chance Nearly every time the monkey
drew the slip this young man was select
ed at the first drawing. Those present
marveled at the young mans luck, and
but for an accident they never would
have ascribed his winnings to any cause
but good fortune. Every slip Of paper
the young man drew he rubbed with a
piece of lump sugar or course the
monkeys weakness for sweets led him to
pick out the sugared slip. The young
man dropped the piece of sugar while he
was rubbing it on a slip, and then his
smart little game was discovered. New

Gas for Air Publication.

Gas jets may be made important aux
iliaries to ventilation. Inserted in the
bottom of air shafts, they establish active
currents which withdraw the vitiated
air. A cubic foot of Illuminating gas
can be utilized SO as to cause the dis
charge of 1000 cubic feet of air, and a
common gas burner will consume nearly
three feet of gas an hour, so that the
quantity of contaminated air that would
be extracted from an apartment during
that time would be 5000 feet. BY suit
able contrivances gas lights, the effects
of which are but too often pernicious,
may not only become ST ventilating,
but may be also made to contribute ma
terially to the publication of the air of
inhabited apartments York Tele-

The shah as Sovereign.

AS ruler the shah possesses many ex-
cellent qualities Firm, fairly just and
diligent, lie is in his own person the sole
arbiter of Persia's fortunes. All policy
emanates from him. He supervises every
department with a curiosity that requires
to be allayed by periodical gratuities, and
his attention to affairs of state is constant
and unremitting. There is a consensus
of opinion in Persia that he is the ablest
man in the country and the best ruler
that it could produce. Nor will any one
deny him the possession of patriotism
and of genuine interest in the welfare
of the nation. He is, however, placed
in a most unfortunate situation by the
rivalry of Great Britain and Russia,
while he is further impeded by the in
triguers that swarm about the court and
person of the monarch, by a tendency
natural to humanity and particularly to
a man who has passed the middle of life,
to let things abide in his time, and by a
sense of powerlessness against the petri-
fled ideas and prejudices of an oriental
people. Chicago Herald.

A Bridge Over the Bosphorus,

The most recent proposal for a huge
bridge is for one across the Bosphorus, a
project for which has been made out by
a French engineering company. The
historic and picturesque channel between
the shores of Europe and Asia, which
connects the sea of Marmora with the
Euxine, is 872 yards broad, and it is pro-
posed thas the bridge to span it should
be of one arch only. In these days of
huge bridges this should not offer seri-
GUS difficulties from an engineering point
of view, if the financial ones can be got
over Various projects have been put
forward to the same effect during the
past twenty years, but it was not consid-
cred that the bridge would be useful
enough to justify the enormous expense
which it would entail. Railways have,
however, developed very much during
recent years, and it is now thought that,
if constructed, it would act as link in
the local railway system, and eventually
pay fair return on the money invested
in it.-Toronto Globe.
