always accompanies good health, and
an absence of appetite is an indica-
ton of something wrong. The uni
versal testimony given by those who
have used Hoods Sarsaparilla, as to
its merits in restoring the appetite,
and rs purifier of the blood, consti-
tutes the strongest recommendation
that can be urged for any medicine.

city, inquiring as to the truth Of the

Mexico City, Aug. 2O.-The killing Of
the famous border bandit, Luna, and
his wife by a troop of soldiers, forty
miles from this place, has caused great
rejoicing in Tamalejis. The soldiers

behind some locks and opened fire.
The soldiers returned it and killed
them both. I.una's wife, as usual,
fought by her husbands side, and only
ceased shooting when killed. They

and six assassinations. The dead des-

(To BE coNTINUED.)
Strongest Living Creatures.

What living creature is possessed Of
the greatest strength in proportion to
its size? was a question asked by a
reader of Pearson's Weekly. The an
swer was as follows: This honor must
be divided between the cockchafcr. the
hive bee and the flea. 1t is rather diff
cult to apply test to prove which par
ticular insect among the borcrs. the
jumpers and carriers is the strongest,
but there Is no question that in proper
tion to their size insects undoubtedly
possess the greatest strength among
living creatures. The flea can jump II
foot high. more than 100 times its own
length, and taking its average jump us
thirty times its own length, it is as II Il
man jumped as high as the gallery Of
the monument. The springs Of the kan
CARGO are insignificant when compared
with this. A cockchafcr is strong
enough to lift 24.3 times its own
weight, small hive bee 2}5 times the
weight of itself. Judged by this stan
dard, there is nothing comparable to it
among other insects or among the
larger animals, and it may be safely
asserted that these three insects di-
vide the honors between them, for
though boring insects pierce the hard
est wood, 1t is by the wonderful adap-
tation Of their boring instrument rath-
er than by abnormal strength.

Steel Pipe. for Sewer.

An engineer suggests that sewers of
riveted steel pipe, coated with pure
asphalt or other suitable compound,
are in every way adapted to their pur-
pose. 1t is claimed that for large sew
ers this pipe is cheaper than brick.
lasts longer, and will not cave in. The
editor of leading engineering news
Journal, by way of comment ON this
suggestion, says that before any city
adopts steel pipes for sewers it must
settle the question whether the sewage
carries a sufficient amount of acid or
alkaline matter to cause corrosion, and
whether the steel could be so protected
as to prevent corrosioD. Another ques-
ton to BE- considered would be the
relative cost Of steel and iron pipe.
Both steel and iron can now be bought
at marvclously low figures, and the
difference in their cost is less than ever
before. Most sewer work is done in
streets that are fairly accessible. and
this fact In great measure lessons
the urgency of using steel pipes on the
score of lightness and greater ease of
handling. Furthermore. the advantage
Of cast iron Is that it rcsists corrosion
better. and furnishes a greater thick
ness of metal which must rust away
before leakage will occur.

GOLD IN AUSTRALIA.
On the Whole the Outlook
Is Good,
But Whoever Goes Should Have
Enough Money to Last at
Least Six Months.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 19.-Very timely,
in view of the great rush Of prospe ctors
from all quarters of the globe to the newly
discovered gold mines of Australia, is an
exhaustive report to the State Depar tment
just published. from United States Consul
General Maratta at Melbourne. He has
been besieged with letters of inquiry from
residents OF California, Colorado, Nevada
and other Western mining States asking
his advice about going to Australia, and
takes this method of answering inquiries
The report is very instructive. and goes
so far into details as to induce q set OF
very practical suggestions drawn up by
the Australian Minister of Mines for the
guidance of people unused to digging for
gold, showing where and how it is looked
for. and TO aid those miners who want to
get little gold for subsistence as quickly
as possible in easily worked ground. But
the kernel of the report is in the follow wing
paragraph:
''There is good opportunity for miners
from the United States well versed in the
best methods of obtaining gold, but It is
absolutely necessary that they come well
provided with both funds and experience,
with sufficient of the former to last them
at least six months, irrespective OF what
gold they may obtain. The machinery
and appliances in vogue here are not
altogether the latest and best, in maDY
cases they are quite old fashioned. II
some of our large manufacturers of min
ing machinery and appliances would send
representatives. out to this colony it would,
in my opinion, well repay them"

RATHER A LARGE JOB.
Silver Men Propose to Rule or
Ruin.
The Scheme by Which they FondIy
Hope to Disrupt the Repub-
lican Party.

MINNEAPOLIS. Nov. ia Gary Is. d.
correspondent of the journal wires the
following information obtained from the
private secretary of one of the leaders of
the movement: "For several months an
understanding has existed among the lead
ing silver men of the United States to the
effect that an emphatic demand shall be
made that the Republican platform of 1896
shall contain an unequiyocal declaration
in favor of the unqualified free coinage of
silver, and in the event of the failure of
the Republicans to so declare new party
movement shall forthwith be sprung with
two-plank platform declaring simply for
protection and free coinage. The man.
agement of the movement is largely in the
hands of Senators Jones, Stewart and
Pettigrew, and they are looking to Senator
Cameron as a Presidential candidate in
the event OF The birth of the new party
The results OF the recent election have
given the silver leaders renewed conf
dence, as they now believe they will be
able to absorb the remnants Of the Popu-
lists and secure through protective plank
the adhesion of the labor vote of the East
Thus they hope TO centralizs the entire
free silver strength and much of the labor
vote of the country. My informant is
positive in his declaration that the Repub-
lican party will be forced either to adopt a
free silver plank or be destroyed. Tlis
intention to rule or ruin is the funda-
mental tone of the movement. 1t is said
that Senator Cameron has already con-
sented to join the movement"
WASHINGTON. Nov. 19.-The rene wed
his consent to be the Presidential candi-
date of a ''Protection and Free Silver"
party meets with an emphatic denial from
close and intimate friends of the Senator
here who are in position TO speak with
authority. Mr.. Cameron said recently to
an Associated Press reporter that while he
was a silver man he was none the less a
Republican, and it was as a Republican
that he hoped to see the white metal
recognized.
