made of two circular pieces of inch
board screwed face to face to-
gether, holding the spokes firmly in
grooves previously cut. There are eight
spaces between the points, and if they
are just long enough for each space to
be twenty-four and three-fourths inches,
the implement will measure accurately
one rod. The points should not be so
sharp as to sink into soft ground. The
axle is an iron rod with nut on each
end, and a sole-leather washer is placed
between. A suitable size for the spokes
is half an inch thick and one-and a-half
inches wide at the hub, tapering to an

wagon wheel has been used, but it is
too heavy, and the jerks which its
weight causes, makes it inaccurate. On

Why Mussels Poison.

The sad case of mussel-poisoning in
the family of Mr.. James o. Connor will
turn attention to a subject still under
dispute among authorities on poison. In
1887 M. Dutertre published in the
French medical press series of obser,
vations on this question. He came to
the conclusion that there is no class OF
mussel which is always poisonous. The
venomous properties of these shell-fish
are dependent on accidental circum.
stances. The poisonous quality is not
due to any influence hitherto advanced
as its cause, such as seaweed, the copper
sheathing of ships hull, the spawn, OF
some particular part of the mussel itself,
poisonous food taken by the mussel, OF
decomposition. The poison is due, in NJ.
Dutertre's opinion, to true disease at
lacking the liver OF the mollusc. An
alkaloid, mytilotoxine, which was alb
stracted by this observer, from the dis,
eased organ was found to act in the same
way as ourare.-British Medical Jour.

BAYlONIAN TABLETS.

Two That Are Especially Interesting
From a Social Point of View.
The collection consists of tablets OF
the Second Babyloniar Empire and Of
the Persian, Greek and Parthian peri
ods Two are especially interesting
from the social point of view. One is
the summing up and judgment in law
suit of the thirteenth year of Naboni-
dus. A farmer named lddin- Marduk
had sent by boat to Babylon $50 meas
ures of fruit Kurgal-natan, who had
undertaken the transport, lost part of
his cargo on the way, and, having ad.
mitted that there had been neglect or
his part agreed to make restitution
When Iddin- Marduk came to claim the
amount Kurgal-natan avoided him, SO
that the former was compelled to
bring the case before the court. The
boat owner, when summoned, &C.
knowledged the charge, and was con.
demned to pay the value of the lost
fruit. The decision is attested by the
seals of five judges. This curious case
cally included insurance.
Inc OCnef IS Klnu OF remOnStranCe
addressed to the crew of boat bound
for Shushan with provisions for the
King. The crew, for reasons not ex-
planned, wanted to abandon the boat
and the writer of this tablet remon-
strates with them, pointing out that to
desert boat laden with royal provis-
ions would be tantamount to high trea-
son. 1t is probable that if the sailors
had not given way after this reno n
STRANGE, it would have been followed by
their arrest and formal accusation.
There are great many contracts of
sales and loans. An interesting one
(No. 2O5) shows that slaves, as we'll as
lands, houses and personal property,
were mortgaged. 1t also comprises
lists of various kinds of tithes due to
the temple of Esagil, of animals
brought to Babylon for sale, and of
other personal property. No doubt it
was an inventory made before a mort
gage or bill of sale.
The tablets of the Greek and Parthian
periods are, as usual, mostly astronomi-
cal. The latest is of B. G. 91.-Academy.

A dying man, no matter how old he
may be, wants a little more time. A
hardened old criminal, about to be
hanged, pleads piteously for a little
more time. A man staring bankruptcy
in the face asks for time. Time flies,
and all too swiftly for those who are
growing old. 1t will not wait for them.
With earnest care we can help time
make wrinkles; but we can not prevent
the wrinkling work of time. For young
people time seems too slow. thine

rites" A man says he has no time to
do this or that; to do good or be polite.
If he is making a steeple-chase for
wealth he says he has no time for
rest; no time to repair nature with COM
forting repose. Time is the nurse and
breeder of all good,' and yet it is
wasted and shabbily treated. 1t is
wrong in man that says he has no
time. He has all the time there is in
the world, and one man has as much as
another. Every day has twenty-four
Hours, anu every man ana every COG
has his day and his time. The old rep

bands treat time most unkindly. The
worlds poet says: How sour sweet
music is when time is broken and no pro-
portion kept" Now, in the face of all the
Importance, the value, the preciousness
and sweetness of time, there is loafer
and leisure class of people who wish to
kill time. 1t is murder done to the
best of friends. 1t is better to wear out
than to rust out 1t is better to be
killed by the hard usage of time than
to do nothing, than to be always trying

AGRICULTURAL HINTS.
MEASURING LAND.

Some simple Tools with Which 1t Can
he Easily and Accurately Done.
Certain simple tools, for measuring
both garden and farm crops, or the con-
tents of fields, are sometimes a great
convenience. For moderate distances,
a light pole Gig. y may be used to ad-
vantage and with much accuracy. 1t is
eleven feet long, so that three leng this
will make thirty-three feet or two rods.
1t is made of light, stiff wood, or of the
material used for making flshing-rods.

angled triangles, and measuring each
in the way just described. A few light

right places will make the division

We've heard Of a woman
who said she'd walk five miles
to get a bottle of DR.. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription if she
couldn't get it without. That
woman had tried it. And it's
a medicine which makes itself
felt in toning up the system
and correcting irregularities as
soon as it's use is begun.
Go to your drug store, pay
a dollar, get a bottle and try
it-try a second, a third if
necessary. Before the third
ones been taken you'll know
that there's a remedy to help
you. Then you'll keep on
and a cure II come.
But if you shouldn't feel the
help, should be disappointed
in the results you'll find a
guarantee printed on the bot

money back for you.
How many women are there
who'd rather have the money
than health? And "Favorite
