Mortuary Gold.

each year, the enormous amount of
800 kilogrammes (about 1900 pounds)
of the precious metal, which repre-
sents nearly S450,000. This gold is
never recovered of course, but is bur-
led with the person in whose mouth
it is placed. Making allowance for
the rapid Increase Of the population
of the United States and for the con
tinued deterioration of American
teeth, it appears that in less than one
hundred years the American GENE.

A Realistic Poem.

Nation Star. @"--
The editor sat on a hard. bottom
chair trying to think of thought,
and he plunged all his fingers about
through his hair, but not one topic
they brought. He had written on
temperance, tariff and trade, and the
prospects of making crop, and joked
about ice cream and weak lemonade,
till his readers had told him to stop.
And weary of thinking, sleep came
to his eyes and he pillowed his head
on the desk when thethoughts which
awake had refused to arise, came in
troops that were strong and gro
tesque. And as the ideas airly float,
heselects thebright one of the tribe ;
and this is the gem which while
dreaming he wrote ~"Now is the
time to subscribe"

The Electric Light VS.. Insects.

Scientific American. ..... ...
Prof. Lintner, State Entomologist,
has made a microscopic examination
Of the insect collections of a single
electric light, and estimates that the
debris which he inspected represent
ed $4,000 insects. AS many of the
smaller forms of insect life probably
constituted the larger portion ofthose
attracted to destruction by the light,
he believes that the average number
Of insects destroyed in night by a
single electric light is nearly 100000.
The larger portion of Prof. Lint
ner's specimen collection from one
light consisted of minute gnats,
midges, crane flies, and similar small
two-winged insects. No mosquitoes
were among the victims, as they are
not attracted to the lights. There
were, however, large numbers of
plant bugs, which are injurious to
vegetation, particularly OF one small
species of handsome green gassid,
which feeds upon our grasses. A
number of the moths, and one of the
leaf rollers which have made such
havoc in our fruit trees this season,
were found, as we'll as other species
of the same family. Prof. Lintner in
speaking of his examination said:
81 was sorry to see quite a number
of the beautiful gauze wings among
the heaps of the slain, as their Larvae
are the aphis lions, which aid in keep
ing down phides or plant lice"
1.-THE electric light" to quote Prof
Lintner, twill undoubtedly prove an
active agent in the reduction ofinsect
pests, and also furnish entOmologists
with many rare specimens and with
many species never before seen"

Thought And It's Cultivation.


1t has been said that it requires
more art to be good listener than
convesatienalist. What an incentive
to eloquence is an attentive listener
What triumphs have come before the
footlights through an enthusiastic au-
dience! WHAT symphonic poems
have been sung upon instruments
whose swaying bows were guided by
sympathetic, silent listeners
How beautiful, indeed, is thought !
However hard and mean ones toll,
fancies can rise, such as might have
had their birth midst woods and
flowers. How many brilliant writers
have been utter failures as takers;
and alas how many takers would
be considered wise, but for the ex-
pose their conversation makes ! Men.
cannot all be authors, but they can be
thinkers. On the street, in the car,
we can pursue our silent thought, till
time and space become oblivion-till.
as Lowell has said:
What we long for, that we are,
For one transcendent moment;
Uatil the Present, poor and bare,
Can make II, anerriug comment"
Ever superior To adverse circum>
stances, oblivious to pain and hard
ship, can we become by cultivating
thought. We all know how subtle
is its influence, though silent work
er. The sudden impulse to speak Of
previously forgotten subjects has
often been traced to the effect of some
contiguous mind. The preSsage Of
some event is often felt by persons
given to "presentimentS."
1t is only through persistent untir-
ing thought that grand results are
born. All are prone to look upon
inventions as spontaneous creations !;
Dul thCIC 10 ilO CliSS vi lllCll SO dDoOlU-
ed in one idea as Notwithstanding
everything and everybody subservi-
ent to their moods, till, at last, the
result is given to the wondering
world and the inventor again plum"
ges into seclusion, and the world and
its surprise are lost to him as he
thinks out another sO-called "discOv>
cry" Then, in the literary world
there have been many inspirations of
the moment, but earnest, deep
thought has preceded, and at least
indirectly, brought the great produc-
ton.
The supremacy of the mind has be-
come an absorbing movement toward
treatment of disease. And every
conscientious physician knows how
great is the subsection of the body to
the mind. Through our thoughts we
make for ourselves sphere, from
which emanates unconsciously a
power for good or evil.
Lilies more than breath and the quick
round of blood.
ave live in thoughts, not breaths. lie
most lives who thinks most-lives in one
hour more than in years do some"
Then, let US think, then speak

itself to higher meanings-noblel

One of the elementary lessons in
astronomy is that the planets differ
from the sun and stars in shining,
not by their own light, but by the
reflected light of the sun, just as the
moon does. Recent changes, how
ever, in the appearance of Jupiter,
indicate that that planet gives addi-
tional light of its own. The middle
zone of Jupiter is ordinarily of a
cream color, but for several years it
has shone with a ruddy tint, which
has given place to the usual shade.
1t has been thought that this is due
to the inherent light Of the mass of
the planet, which is generally obscur-
ed by the whittier cloud atmosphere
around it, The fact, recently Observ-
ed, that the flourish of Jupiter's satel-
lites, whose power of rejecting may
be compared to that of our moon.
looks black when crossing the disk OF
the planet is also supposed to prove
that Jupiter shines with light Of its
own, and must, therefore, have an
intense heat.

For Your Stomach's Sake.

"Take little wine for your stomach's
sake" is a celebrated piece of advice.
"Take little Pe.ru.na for your stomach's
sake" is saying that bids fair to become
equally famous. The stomach is at once a
most delicate and most abused organ and,
between its delicacy and its abuse, it is no
wonder that it is constantly giving its owner
trouble. There is no medicine that will help
the stomach so promptly and so effectively
as Pc ru.na. II actions is very simple, and
it leaves no bad effects whatever. Especially
in summer time is it a valuable remedy to
have at hand. For hot weather easily affects
the stomach, and any little imprudence in
eating or disorder of tue system deranges it..
Then it is that Pe-ru.na will show itself to
be just what is claimed to be--a general
Tonic and a cOrrector of Stomach Troubles.
