n Reveals Defects Invisible to the Naked
Eye.
Speaking of heredity, it is we'll
known that the Photographic camera is
keener in distinguishing things than
the human eye. The case is well known
of the photographer who took picture
of a woman who appeared to be in good
health, and whose skin seemed perfect
~ normal to the eyes of those who met
her. But in the Photographic negative
there were a lot of queer spots or
freclSles upon the face which the pho
tographer could not account for; they
were not due to anything in the pro-
cess of taking the picture, and they did
not appear to be in the sitter's face; but
in twentyfour hours the woman came
down with smallpox, and it turned out
that the camera had detected the spots
in the skin. which no eye could as yet
perceive, Well, the case to which |
wish to refer is one in which, so to
speak, the camera has detected kind
OF moral spotting on the human face.
A person whose parents on both sides
had been very bad in various ways, and
who, under the laws of heredity, was
thoroughly entitled to be bad, too, was,
on the contrary, very exemplary and
thoroughly well behaved. Further
more, this person was handsome and
noble of feature, and gentle and win
ming in facial expression. All who saw
the face were at once prepossessed by
it. But whenever this person was
photographed, something cruel and
criminal was sure to be revealed in the
picture. If one had been an expert in
criminal neurology. if there is any snch
science, he might have said, when
asked to give an opinion of the char
acter of the subject from the photo
graph This person is forger or en-
bezzler on a large scale, with strong
tendency towards countcrfeiting, and a
perceptible leaning in the direction Of
homicide" All the vices of the persons

photograph. Boston Transcript

It's flying IN the face
of Nature to take the ordinary pill.
Just consider how it acts. There's
too much bulk and hustle, and not
enough real good. And think how
it leaves you when it's all over!
DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets act
naturally. They help Nature to do
her own work. They cleanse and
rcnovate, mildly but thoroughly, the
whole system. Regulate it, too.
The help that they give, lasts.
They're purely vegetable, per-
fectly harmless, the smallest, easiest,
and best to take. Sick Headache,
Bilious Headache, Constipation, In
DIGESTION, Bilious Attacks, and all
arrangements of the Liver, Stomach
and Bowels are promptly relieved
and permanently cured. One tiny,
sugar coated Pellet for a gentle
laxative three for cathartic.
They're the cheapest pill you can
buy, for they're guaranteed to give
satisfaction, or your money is re-
turned.
You pay only for the good you
get.
This is true only of DR.. Pierce's
medicines.

Some Uses of Sawdust,

There is a popular slang expression,
"Out for the sawdust," which will apply
to peculiar business very little known
even in New York. 1t is sawdust, and the
man who is out for it makes a daily trip
frow the sawmills somewhere across the
Hudson or on the Brooklyn shore and
brings it in barrels for consumption in the
metropolis. 1t retails for twenty five cents a
barrel here. The most of this sawdust
goes to the butcher shops. where it is
spread over the floor fresh every morning
and emits sweet, piney smell and alb
serbs the bad odors and droppings. Much
of 1t goes to old fashioned chophouses
that still preserve the old time sawdust
floor, while the big fashionable hotels use
considerable for cleaning purposes, it be-
ing moistened and sprinkled on the tiled
floors before they are swept, thus laying
the dust without wetting the marble
