NOTHING ELSE LIKE 1T.

When the publishers decided to
issue The Journal twice a week
at the same price of the old week
lies, S1.OO per year, they stl uck
just what the public wanted
something between the old-fash-
Toned weekly and the high-priced
daily. The success Of The Semi
Weekly Journal has been imme-
diate and continued. It has dis
tanced every one Of it's once-a-week
rivals. It doesn't take long to
convince people that a good live
paper every Tuesday and Friday
is better than only one a week,
especially when you appeal to their
pocket books, and give it to them
at the same price. Readers will
testify that it is almost as good as
a daily. The markets twice a
week are worth the money. -Four
complete novels each year by
"The Duchess" Miss Braddon,
and other widely known authors,
are worth the dollar. Its legisla-
tive news is its strong point just
now. It is wide-awade, spends
money for news, and is always in
the lead. You can see it's supe-
riority over the old-fashioned
weekly. Everyone who subscribes
now gets a Seaside Library free.
This offer won't hold good al
ways. One of our big offers is
The Semi Weekly Journal and
Weekly New York Tribune, both
one year for $1.25. Our great
premium, History Of the United
States, Stanley's Book, OF Life of

Trees Require Good Soil.

Southern soil seems to possess the nee
essary substances for the growth of all
species of trees and plants natural to
warm climates. Substances that con-
tribute to the nutrition of plants will act
as food for trees, and, as we see the phys
ical properties of the trees themselves,
leaves and other matter have a direct
share in their nutrition. There are some
soils SO hard and clayey that the roots of
trees cannot spread, and thus they fail
to reach the substances which they re-
quire for food. Hence the tree becomes
stunted in growth and is soon dead, fall
ing to the ground to become, through its
ashes, nutrition for some other Trailer
plant which can subsist in such SOIL

Woman to Woman

The attitude women assume toward
strange women was amusingly brought
out in a New York court a few days ago.
A female witness in a case where a
young man was accused of slashing a
young woman's dress while riding in the
elevated was asked by one Of the law
yers, "Do you mean to say, madam, that
you saw all those tears. OF cuts, which
ever you please, in a lady's skirt and yet
hadn't the po~liteness to tell her of it??'
81 do" said the witness. 81 have often
told women when their dress was out of
order in the street, but I always got
snubbed for my pains, and I made up
my mind not to do it any more. If man
should tell a woman that her dress was
out Of order, she would be very apt to
thank him, but she never thanks a wom-
an."-San Francisco Argonaut.

Said to Be Better Than Morphine.

Mention is made of codeine sulphate
as an extremely prompt sedative in af-
fections of the respiratory tract, pos
sessing an advantage over morphine in
that it does not check the secretions, nor
does it lead to a habit, nor has it dis
agreeable after effects, and it will allevi-
ate pain. The dose varies from one
eighth to one-half, and, exceptionally,
one grain, given in pill or in solution,
frequently in strip of wild cherry.
The officinal alkaloid is rarely used,
the sulphate being preferred for the pur-
pose. If administered in water, an in
soluble residue is sometimes found,
which, on examination, proves to be the
alkaloid codeine, found in codeine sui
phate from the excessive heat employed
in concentration of the solution for crys-
tallization.-New York Tribune.

Learning From Engl.shmen.

It is true that the English have cult
waited eprinting, hurdling and the vari-
GUS field events somewhat less success
fully than we, but for all distances above
the quarter mile the English records Ito
use U American standard of compare
son) are the worlds records. This means
that the prevailing interest abroad is less
in the close gymnasium and on the dreary
cinder track han in cross country runs
and paper chases, which lead the athlete
through woods and fields, blow his lungs
full of fresh air and steep his senses in
sunlight. Likewise the Englishman's
yacht is, as it were, his summer home,
while his horses are the companions Of
the hunt and his travels. If yacht or
horse wins races for him. so much the
better.
But he draws the line when it comes to
sacrificing their sounder merits for the
passing glory of sweepstakes. Thus sport
with him is pleasanter and less intensely
exciting. 1t is fruitful in mental relaxa-
ton and rest as well as in bodily health.
In short, Americans lack the strength
that comes through moderation and re-
pose, through wholesomeness of mind
and body. We have yet to learn that
the work of life is too serious for us to
set our hearts and stake our health on
the pastimes of idle hours; that our years
are too few to be shortened by devoting
workdays and playdays alike to the
wasting passion of achievement.-John
Corbin in Outing.

Ancient Forms of Life In Australia,

Australia seems to have been a place
of refuge for many ancient forms of life,
and every now and then some supposed
to have become extinct are found still
existing there. The latest in this respect
is a discovery by a Mr.. Ogilby, a natu-

Wales of fresh water herrings, identical
in every way to those before not found
later than the latter part of the creta-
ceous and earlypa ofthe tertiary period.

a Good Dressing For Shoes,

When meditating a trip on a rainy day,
it is a wise plan to rub the shoes with a

Of an ounce of Burgundy pitch, melted
over a slow fire with a half pint of oil.
Be cautious with the turpentine. This
