Tho Hsau,y or Health

How many women with regular
features that might be beautiful, arc
not, and instead of awakening our adj
miration only arouse our pity. Their
hollow eyes and sunken cheeks and
sallow skin haunt our memory. Alas
an invalid wife or mother or sister fills
the house with gloom and sadness,
and an otherwise happy fireside is
shadowed with pail of regret.
Blessed be the physician who has in
vented a remedy with power to
strengthen the female organization
that regulates the delicate functions
OF feminine life, that relieves those
bearing-down pains, that renews the
appetite, that perfects digestion, that
brightens the eye and beauties the
complexion with the glow of health.
Such remedy is DR.. Bulls Sarsapa-
rilla. II is woman's best friend for
counteracting the evils that aiilict her
sex. Thousands of ladies owe their
beauty to use of this Incompatible
Alternative. Demand it of your drug
gist. Take no other.-Pdris Ne,rs.

WONDERS OF THE SEA.

All About the Height of Waves and Their
Tremendous Force.
| Oceans occupy three-fourths OF the
earth's surface. At the depth OF $500
feet waves arc not felt Tho tempera-
ture is the same, varying only triHe,
from the poles to the burning sun Of tho
equator.
A mile down tho water has pressure
Of a ton on every square inch. II box
feet deep were filled with sea water
and allowed to ovaporato, there would
be 2 inches OF salt loft on tho bottom of
tho box. Taking the average depth OF
the oceans OF the world to be miles,
there would be layer OF salt $50 feet
thick over the entire bed should the wa
ter evaporate. The water OF the ocean
is colder at the bottom than at the sur
face. In many places, especially in tho
bays on the coast of Norway, tho water
freezes at tho bottom before 1t does
above.
Waves are very doooptiyO. To loo X a
them in storm one would think tho
whole water travelled. Tho water stays
in tho same place, but tho motion goes
on. Sometimes in storms these waves
are forty feet high, and travel fifty ymilos
per hour-nearly twice as fast as the
neetest steamship. The base of wave
the distance from valley to valley on
either side at the bottom Is generally
rechonod at being fifteen times tho
height, therefore an average wave, say
one twenty-five feet high. has a base
extending over 375 foet. The force of
waves breaking on the shores is said to
be seventeen tons to tho square yard

According to the naturalists, scor.

fly will lay LA eggs, a leach $50, and a

eggs and a frog l,lO0. A female moth
will produce 1,1oo eggs, and tortoise
1000. A gall insect has laid so, 900 eggs;
shrimp, 5000; and 10000 have been
found in the ovary of an ascaris.
One naturalist found over $4,000 eggs
in lobster, and another over 81, 600.
An insect very similar TO an ant Autilia)
has produced $4,000 eggs in single day;
and Louwenhoeck seems TO compute A.
200, 900 to the crabs share.
Many fishes produce an incredible
number OF eggs. Moro than SO, 900 have

It's material effects will, we suppose
In tho main be good. An increase to
the productive force OF the race can
hardly be other than beneficial, and II
electricity is found not to increase that
,orco, 1t will be disusod. Civilization is
dependent, first of all. on the possibil-
lty that man may produce something
more than he and his family want TO
eA., and any power, not even in itself,
which can increase that surplus without
increasing toll, must tend to promote
material civilization.
The less the force sasted in compari.

conservation OF human energy. The
mere tightening Of the day OF two hours

most countries be an unspeakable boon:
Ind we do not know that the
equalization Of chances as between
the moro favored and the less favored
countries and districts. which must ulti-
nately come when electricity Is gener-

southern England from tho gorge OF the

Secretary Blaine has addressed letter
to the President suggesting an amend
ment to the pending tariff bill authoriz-
ing him to declare the ports of the United
State free to the products of any Ameri-
can nation upon which no export duties
shall admit free to it's ports the manu-
features and products of the United
States. In transmitting the letter to
Congress. the President heartily com
mends the policy outlined and presents
strong arguments in behalf the sugges-
ton. Reciprocal trade relations between
the United States and the South Ameri-
can States would open a vast market
for our manufactures and farm pro-
ducts, and contribute largely to the
prosperity of the countries so effect
ing exchanges. The application of
the policy existing among the
States, of free commerce, to the friendly
South American States would bring
about not only friendly trade relations,
but bind the countries more closely to-
gether in every respect: The adoption
of the suggestion Of Mr., blaine would
have the effect to open the markets for
American products to a0,000.000 people,
including Cuba, whose trade is now d.
yerted from this country by reason of
unwise laws, enacted, it Is true, with no
reference to the point named by Mr..
Blaine, but none the less restrictive upon
American commerce.

Little Franklin, thou has left us,
Here thy loss we deeply feel,
But It's God that has bereft us,

Yet again we hope to meet thee
