When anything stands test of fifty
years among a discriminating people like
the Americans. il is pretty good evidence
that there is merit some where The value
of medicine is best proved by its con
tinued use from year to year by the same
persons and families, as well as by a
steadily increasing sale. Few, if any,
medicines have met with such continued
success and popularity rs has marked the
introduction and progress of Brandreth's
pills, which. after a trial of over fifty
years, are conceded 10 De the safest and
most effectuaI purgative introduced to the
public.
That this is the result of merit, and that
Brandreth's pills actually perform all that
is claimed for them, is conclusively
proved by the fact that those who regard
them with the greatest favor are those
who have used them the longest

The whaler, while singing, accompa-

cestors were whalers and men of IN

heard to say. They went into the whal-

The Columbia river sturgeon is also a
large water fowl, frequently growing to
great size. He attains weight of 600
pounds, and has head that looks like
that Of Goliath of Gath after his two
round set-to with David.
/ saw one of these surgeons lying ON
the dock at Kalama the other day. He
was dead, and looked like fat man I
saw In the Paris morgue last summer.
Ills head weighed 100 pounds-the stur-
geon's head, l mean. And there isn't
brain into it, either. The sturgeon gives
very little thought to his future. Or his
past for that matter.
AN honest resident of Oregon told me
how the surgeons, during the high wa
tiers, got into his cellar and ate sixty
bushels of his potatoes. At night they
would also come up stairs and bite the
children. They plagued him good deal.
Often they would chase the cattle around
the yard and brighten his wife. They al
most ate him out of house and home; but
in the midst of their wild orgies in the
cellar they struck jar of Pompadour
Yamhill butter, and death was swift and
painless
When the Columbia river fisherman
succeeds in his days work by catching
seven or eight of these 600 pound stur-
geons he puts them ON a willow stringer,
and as he trudges gayly home with them
in his hand it is gladstone sight.
The sturgeon dies hard, often refusing
to ascend the golden stair for twenty
four hours after he is removed from the
water. Although his head often weighs
over 100 pounds. he Is not deep thinker,
and it takes him day or two to get it
through his head that he is corpse.
Aside from the Greenback party and
Thompson's colt, he probably does more
to discourage the overworked fool killer
than anybody of whom history has in
formed us.
He likes very much, also, to wrap the
drapery of large salmon net about him
and lie down to pleasant dreams. When
he is rudely awakened he hears strange

Pictured Spheres Of the Ancient Egyptians
and the Aryans Of India.
The Egyptians had q pictured sphere
in yery ancient times. Signs OF 1t may
be seen in the tomb OF Seti l., al Biban-
el-Moluk, and considerable develop
ments Of It in the calendar sculptured
on the ceiling OF the tomb OF Rameses
W., at Medinet Abou. There are on
this monument which is OF the thir-
teenth century B. c., series OF constel-
lations designated by imaginary hgures.
Among them are river, an arrow, and
a lion which differs from that OF our
classical sphere. There are hippopot-
anus and lute-bearer; with q great
asterism extending over nearly quar-
ter OF the circumference OF the sky,
called the god Nacht, or the Conqueror,
carving set OF arms and ascending a
stepping-stone. Another parsonage,
Mena, is surrounded by servants. Egypt
therefore, In its uranography most
distinctly followed the system OF pict-
ured nomenclature.
The Aryans Of India did the same
thing in another independent manner.
We find. among other things on their
sphere, which was completed In the
ninth century bsfore the Christian era,

dog in II, an Ethiopian With giants
features, and woman covered with q
