MILES OF SALT.
An Incrustatlon Several Feet Thick IN .
Strange Persian Desert.

An IncrustAtlon Several Feet Thick IN .
Strange Persian Desert.
One of the natural curiosities OF Asia
Ia the Great Salt desert Of Persia, which
covers large territory about seventy
miles south OF Teheran. G. Z. Bid
dulph, who recently visited this place,
says that Darya-i-NamalS Is an extern
sive tract Of ground, sloping on all
sides toward the center, covered with
an incrustation Of solid salt several feet
thick In most places, while IN some
parts II is of unknown depth. No
oording 10 Goldthwnite's Geographical
Magazine, IL must have taken many
centuries 10 form As he saw II from
the mountain top IT stretched away for
many miles, appearing like u vast frozen
lake. IL extended as far as the eye
could reach toward the south and west
and glistened In the sun like q sheet Of
glass.
His party finally approached the mar
gin Of the salt plain and decided TO
cross IT, They found swampy ground
for q mile or so and then entered upon
the sheet OF salt itself. Near the edge
the incrustation was thin and the salt
sheet was soft, sloppy and mixed with
earth. At a distance Of three or four
miles from the edge the salt looked like
solid Ice as IL Is seen on any pond in
northern latitudes during the winter,
The surface was not quito level, but re-
sembled that OF ice which had partially
thawed and then frozen again after u
slight fall of snow. OF the solidity Of
the incrustation there could be no
doubt, for camels, horses and mules
were travelling over II without vibra-
ton Of any kind being perceptiblo.
After marching for about eight miles
upon this unusual surface the party
halted TO examine its composition They
tried by means Of hammer and an iron
tent peg, TO break of block Of salt 10
carry away as q specimen. The salt,
however, was 30 very hard that they
could make no impression upon It.
They managed at last In another place
10 chip of lot Of fragments which
were Of the purest white. In two or
three days they had absorbed 30 much
moisture that they became soft and
slatey blue in color.

Way Of Color.

The hue OF health Who can mistake It,
The white brow, the deepened tint of the
cheek, these associated with brightness and
animation of the eye, a CHEEKY expression of
the countenance. are infallible indicia that
the liver is performing its function actively,
and that consequently digestion and the
bowels are undisturbed If, however, the
complexion and eyeballs have saffron
tint, or the face is drawn and void of spright-
illness and animation, the hillary gland is
almost certain to be out O + order. Reetify
the difficulty speedily, thoroughly, with the
paramount antibilious specific, Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters, which promptly remedies
not only the above outward and visible signs
of biliousness, but also the sick headaches,
constipation, vertigo, fur upon the tongue,
nausea, sour breath and pains through the
right side seriously involved in malaria, for
which the Bitters is a sovereign specific. This
medicine remedies with equal promptitude
and completeness, kidney complaint, dys-
pepsia, rheumatism and nervousness.

Syrup"

The majority of well-read phys
icians now believe that Consump-
ton is germ disease. In other
words, instead of being in the con-
stitution itself it is caused by innu-
merable small creatures living in the
lungs having no business there and
eating them away as caterpillars do
the leaves of trees.
A Germ The phlegm that is
coughed up is those
Disease. parts of the lungs
whi C h have been
gnawed off and destroyed. These
little bacilli, as the germs are called,
are too small to be seen with the
naked eye, but they are very much
alive just the same, and enter the
body in our food, in the air we
breathe, and through the pores of
the skin. Thence they get into the
blood and finally arrive at the lungs
where they fasten and increase with
frightful rapidity. Then German
Syrup comes in, loosens them, kills
them, expells them, heals the places
they leave, and so nourish and
soothe that, in short time consump-
tives become germ-proof and well. .

OUR PARTY.

You all have heard the mutterings
That bodies the coming storm;
When the swift of foot shall lose the race
And the battle-those that's strong.
You have reused a patient people,
And they are standing in their might
Stern brow'd, with right arms lifted,
They are striking for the right
You have seen the dashing torrent
Spreading desolation wide!
And the wild tornado with its breath,
Lying bare country's sidel
More strong than rush of waters,
You will find the peoples will
More strong than wild tornadoes,
That go sweeping through hill
How have the mighty fallen
Lying prone along its path?
Publish it not in Askalon,
And tell 1t not in Gathl
Good bye, old parties, all good byel
You are passing down times stream,
To be swallowed In Lethe's waters,
Like the memory of dream.

Bridging tho Bosporus.

Encouraged, no doubt, by the sue
cess of the bridge across the Forth,
engineers are now considering the
equally great scheme Of a bridge
across the Bosporus, thus connecting
Europe and Asia and their present
and future railway systems. The
Turkish newspaper Hakikat gives
Some particulars OF this project
apropos of an offer by French syn
dictate to build bridge ofS00 meters
in length and 70 meters high between
Roumeli and Anatoli Hissar. The
striking feature of the bridge would
be that it would consist of one span,
and thus, although of much shorter
length than the Forth bridge, it is
described as n greater work. because
its single span exceeds in length by
one-half the longest span of the
Forth bridge. The Anatolian raif
way, it is thought, will make the con.
struction of such q bridge a necessary
and feasible undertaking before many
years.-St. James Gazette.

Mr.. james j. Hodge is tenant on

Box II feet in size. Hesays that near

there was a jar and oil was still. The
children cried out in alarm, and he

house had identified from it's founda-

feet beyond them and deposited hat
upon the ground.
The house was not injured and not
an article in it was broken. A lamp
that was placed on the mantlepiece
was not thrown down.

He Saved Her Life.

Miss Susnnnah Warfeld, by her will
filed at Westminster, lett 800 to
Mr.. julius A. Hood, formerly Bal
timore and Ohio telegraph operator
at Sykesville, now at Mount Airy
switch. This money was left to Mr..
Hood to show her appreciation of his
bravery when no once saved her life
ut Sykesville. 1t was about seven
years ago. Miss Warfield was going
to Baltimore and had to cross both
tracks to get to the platform. She
was in the middle of the east bound
track and the passenger train was
coming along. Mr.. Hood was in his
office short distance away and saw
thedanger. The train was then only
about 100yards away, and she could
not hear it. Mr.. Hood ran and
caught her and carried her off the
track. The engine came so close to
her thatit touched her dress. 1t was
a very narrow escape, and Miss
Warficld often expressed her high
of Mr.. Hoods bravery.
