DISCOVERIES IN CONSUMPTION
What Dyspepsia has to do with 1t
Old school and new school, methods.

Old school and new school methods.
1t is, to say the least, peculiar, that all con
sumptives suffer from dyspepsia. Dyspeptics
are not always consumptives, but they are
quite likely to become So il they don't cure
their dyspepsia.
Dyspepsia is more like consumption than any
other disease known. II is. in fact, one of the
most fruitful causes of consumption. The
dyspepsia in consumption:is as dangerous as
the lung trouble.
There are no drugs known that will cure the
dyspepsia of consumption or enable patients
to properly digest their food, and thus gain
flesh, except Paskola, which is Pre- Digested
Food.
Starch, not fat is the food for people who are
losing weight Paskoa, not cod liver oil, is
the modern treatment for consumption.
A starch food made of grains and fruit, pre-
dlgested like paskola, is the nearest approach
to perfect food for dyspeptics that can be got.
The starch in Paskola, being already digest
ed is absorbed almost as soon as it is swallow
ed It's fruit ferments which are the same as
those in the stomach and pancreas, act as
powerful digestives of other food The imme-
diate nourishment given:by Paskoa is very
refreshing and invigorating.
Mr. Charles NJ. lie Furge ,.of New York City
N Y, says: "My wife has used several bottles
of 'Paskola' with great benefit to herself-good
appetite, general improvement in health and
not only considers 1t a boon, but everything
you claim for it.

Club Drinking.

One Of the perils for young men, es-
peciallS ut the present time, Is club
drinking. MANY Young men who would
be ashamed to be seen drinking in the
ordinary saloon are tempted to this in

environment of the club. An old New
York club man is quoted as saying;
The bar-room makes drunkards.
wish | could say that the purpose Of the
club was to make men sober, but AS
cannot do so with truth, might as well
confess among other things that the
tendency of the modern club is to inten-
sify the drink habit till it degenerates,
particularly with young men, into the
disease of inebriety know OF scores
of promising young livcs-and so does
every club man OF eXpcrience-that have
been wrecked by the opportunities for
conviyiality afforded by clubs If the
stewards of the leading clubs in any of
our cities would confess to the number
of members they know to be habitual
drunkards, the report would startle the
uninitated.
Friends of temperance, while laboring
for the legal suppression of the saloon,
should also exert all possible moral
power for restraint and abolition of club
drinking .-Ndtionai temperance Adro'

King Louis and the Forest.

Louis XIV once remarked impa-
tiently in the hearing of the Duke
d'Antin, superintendent of the royal
buildings, that he hoped that at some
time a forest which he had always
disliked, because it INSTRUCTED one of
his favorite views, would be cut
down. Unknown to the king, Duke
d'Antin had the trunks of all the
trees in the Objectionable forest
sawed through in such a way that
they still stood, though a slight pull
would bring them down. He re-
moved every evidence of the work
and fastened ropes to the tops of the
trees and concealed more than 1900
men in the forest to manage the
ropes at signal from him.
The duke knew on what day the
king would walk in the wood and
planned the work accordingly The
king took his accustomed promenade,
and, as usual, expressed his senti-
ments about the hated forest. Your
majesty, the forest shall be removed
whenever you like" said d'Antin.
Indeed, said the king; then wish
that it might be done at once" At
that moment dAntin blew shrill
blast from a whistle, and to the ut
ter amazement of the king and the
royal party the forest fell as if by
enchantment.-San Francisco Argo-

The Little Bronze Star.

English soldiers regard the Victoria
cross as the highest prize that can be
won, and the Frenchman looks eager
" forward to the time when he can
pin upon his breast the cross of the
Legion of Honor. Individual acts of
gallantry in the American army are
not often greeted with a flourish of
trumpets or special decoration, but
there is at least one substantial and
much coveted reward 1t is known
as the medal of honor. This little
bronze star is difficult to obtain and
is only granted in rare cases. Con-
gress must vote upon the question
just as if it were an especial act.
Numbers of veterans in the army
have gained such medal, but they
are far more limited in numbers than
the similar lists of other countries
would show. The rarity with which
this medal is awarded makes it all
the more highly priced by the recipi-
epts. San Francisco Examiner.

AFTER FIFTY MILLS.
An English Syndicate Getting Control Of
Wisconsin Paper Plants.

Wisconsin Paper Plants.
MILWAUKEE, Oct. LA special to
The Wisconsin from Appleton, Wis,
says: The greatest syndicate deal since
the purchase of the American breweries
by English capitalists has just been
concluded, and unless something un-
foreseen occurs, all the paper and pulp
mills ON Fox river viii pass into the
hands of an English syndicate on April
1. 1t is learned from parties interested
in the sale that every paper and pulp
maker on Fox river, with two excep-
tions, has signed contract giving OPP
tons ON all mills, machinery, water
rights, leases and other properties. The
option is good for six months from Oct.
/. The two firms who have not yet
signed have agreed to do so soon
The reason for the delay is to gain time
to complete schedules of the properties
which must be attached to the options
when given to the syndicate in London.
Fifty Mills in the Deal.
The properties involved in the deal
include 30 paper and 81 pulp mills, sit
uated at Neenah, Menasha, Appleton,
Kimberly, Little Chute, Kaukauna,
Combined Locks and De Pere, situated
along Fox river for distance of 70
miles. The value of these plants is es-
timated at $40, 100000. The daily prod
uct when run to the full capacity
amounts to 1900 miles of paper in a
sheet z inches wide and 800 tons Of
pulp. The value of the product is
about $1,000 daily. The terms of the
option are that the value of the plants
be reckoned on basis of actual cost of
mills and machinery and present value
of the water rig hts and leases and the
earning capacity of the mills as shown
by past business records. The pay
ment for the properties is to be half
cash and half in three-year notes, to be
secured by mortgages on the mills and

MAXINE CURRENTS.
Ingenious instruments For Showing How

They Begin and Are Maintained.
The marine globe, an apparatus
to produce currents similar to sea
currents" consists of glass globe,
under the interior wall of which are
constructed the massive outline of
continents and hollows of sea basins.
The bottom of the sea consists of
an interior sphere, concentric with
! one of glass, moving on vertical
axis and worked by gearing. The
sea basins are filed with water, con-
! tanning particles of stearin in suspen-
sion, which render all it's movements
visible. The exterior of the appa-
ratus does not differ much from that
of a geographical globe.
When the movable globe turns
upon itself, the water is seen to start.
From both extra tropical regions it adj
vances along the sea bottom toward
the equator There the two cur
rents, from the north and from the
, south, meet and together rise to the
plane of the great circle, reaching
the surface in a stream that occupies
the equatorial belt of the oceans, the
waters pour southwark and north
ward of their line of emergence;
then, almost Immediately born to-
ward the west, they produce in their
course all the secondary currents
which are formed by the outlines of
the shores and the shapes of the sea
bottoms
Through the transparent glass one
can follow the movements Of the
liquid mass and get a better idea of
sea currents than from the finest
map, for the best specimens of ny
biography seem only dead letter
compared with these real, moving
currents, emerging, advancing on
the surface, then disappearing in the
depths of these miniature oceans, the
capacity of which is scarcely more
than a few glasses of water.
This apparatus is both a useful
plaything for children and an object
of serious thought for students.
Every young geographer in our pri-
mary schools would delight to follow
with his eyes, on this little artificial
world, the marvellous evolutions Of
the water of the oceans. Every
earnest investigator into the phe-
nomena of nature would be surprised
at the facts revealed by this simple
instrument and would perhaps be
disposed to question the value Of GER
tain notions on the physics of the
globe which till now he has held
without questioning,
The marine globe would facilitate
the teaching of geography, SO far as
the sea currents are concerned, and
the notifications these effect In cli-
mate regardless OF latitude. 1t may
also aid navigation and furnish n.y.
typography with valuable data for
the co-ordinating and completing
of the experimental study of ma
rtne currents, their origin, their mu-
tual relations, their temperature,
their fauna, etc. Finally, it seems t9
