two girls, Jennie Hastings and Hazel Cor

few days since. but at the time one item
escaped even the eyes of the watchful
guards, which has just come to light, and
proved that the girls had laid their plans
with deliberation. On Friday morning,
after the attempted break was discovered,
the matr0n walked into the cell they had
occupied and found on the floor an envelope
addressed to her, which, upon being opened,
disclosed the following interesting docu-

The most efficient advertising IN behalf
of Hoods Sarsaparilla is that which comes
from the medicine itself. That is, those
who are cured by it, speak to friends suffer
ing similarly, who in turn derive benefit,
and urge others to try this successful medi-
cine. Thus the circle of its popularity is
rapidly widening from this cause alone,
and more and more are becoming enthusi-
sstic in behalf of Hoods Sarsapsrilla, as il
actually demonstrates its absolute merit.
All that is asked for Hoods Sarsaparilla is
thst it be given a fair trial. If you need q
good blood purifier, or building up medi-
cine, try Hoods Sarsaparilla.

Quoted in thoroughly honest manner; and

have made Hoods Sarsaparilla the most sue
cessful medicine of the day.

A Flower That springs From the Fro.
zen Soil of siberia.

A'French paper gives facinating
accO unit ofA newly discovered flower,
of which rumorsg have from time to
time reached the ears of floriculturists.
1t is called the snow flower and is said
to have been discovered by Count An
thyskoff in the most northern portion
of Siberia, where the ground Is contin-
uously covered with frost. This won-
deTful object shoots forth from the froz-
en- soil only on the first day OF each sue.
ceediBg year. 1t shines but for sing
lie day and then resolves to its original
elements. The leaves are three in
number and each about three inches In
diameter. They are developed only on
that side of the stem toward the north,
and each seems covered with micro
scopic crystals of snow stis
The flower when it opens is star-shap-
ed, its petals of the same length as. the
leaves and about half an inch in width.
On the third day the extremeties of the
authers, which are five in number,
show minute glstening specks like dia-
monds about the size of pins head
which are the seeds of this wonderful
flower. Anthysskoff collected some OF
these seeds and carried them with him
to st. Petersburg. They were placed
| In spot of snow, where they remained
for some time. On the first of the fol
loving January the miraculous snow
flower burst through its icy covering
and displayed its beauties to the won
dering Russian royalty. e-.s ...r-

Ocean Telegraphy.

The immense Importance of excessive
care in the insulation of an ocean cable
is shown by Herbert Laws Webb in late
number of Scribner. He describes how,
after the cable has been taken on board
the vessel to which is to be intrusted the
task of laying it, it is kept cool and free
from strain or any adverse influence in
the ships tank, where it is submerged
in water. When the time comes for pay
ing out and the cable is Strengthened
and has to bear strain of several tons
as it leaves the ships stern, then any
slight imperfection will be revealed, and
although it may consist merely Of a
minute bubble of air which has burst and
made a puncture in the gutta percha
into which fine hair could not be intro
duced, although 1t may be only or ack
so imperceptible that it would not admit
of the insertion of cigarette paper, yet
the current would escape, and, like the
Insignificant stream which trickles oveH
a dam, would gradually widen the
breach, until the cable was electrically
"broken down" and entirely useless for
communication.
