to raise the required quantity of water to the desired height, as the ram is then subjected to an unnecessary amount of work, the wear and tear of all the parts is increased and the durability of the whole is proportionately decreased. The proportion between the water raised and that running to waste depends mainly on the height of the spring, or source of supply above the ram, relatively with the height to which the water is delivered.
 The following is commonly given as approximating the efficiency of the ma chine: About one-seventh part of the water will be raised to five times the height of the fall, and so on in the same proportion. Thus, if the ram be placed under head or fall of 10 feet and the stream delivers 50 gallons per minute, about gallons per minute can be raised to height of 50 feet or 34 gallons to height of 100 feet" Hydraulic rams have had but limited use in this coun- try and are worthy of more extended application.

Tho Grave Gets Tired Yawning,

Seemingly, for certain wretched invalids who toddle feebly along, though always look ing as if they were going to die, but emitting to do it. They dry up, wither, dwindle away finally, but in the meantime never having robust health, know nothing of the physical enjoyment, the zest of that existence to which they cling with such remarkable tenacity. They are always to be found trying to mend by tinkering at themselves with some trashy remedy, tonic or ''pick me up" to give a fillip to digestion, or "help the liver" If such mis- guided folks would resort and adhere to Hos tetter's Stomach Bitters it would be well with them. This superb invigorant supplies the stamina that the feeble require, by perma- mently reinforcing digestion and assimilation. It overcomes nervousness, insomnia, malaria, kidney complaints biliousness, constipation, rheumatism and and neuralgia.
