Always accompanies good health, and an

the strongest recommendation that can be
urged for any medicine.

A Climbing Bullock.

At the great slaughter houses in the
Partisan suburb of La Villette there is
a granary from which the beasts await
ing execution are fed. The way to it is
up substantial ladder staircase. One
of the buIlocks, having escaped from the
pens, climbed up this staircase before he,
could be stopped. When his escape was
first discovered, he was seen on the
stairs, slowly and laboriously making
his way upward. As soon as he reached
the granary two or three attendants fol-
lowed him and endeavored to get him
down, bat all their efforts were unavail--
ing. There was nothing to be done,
therefore, but to leave the beast there
to eat his fill and then see whether he
would be clever enough to return by the
way he went. Possibly some thought
of exhibiting him in public may have
crossed the minds of his guardians, but
if so they were doomed to disappoint-
ment. The stupid animal, instead of
trusting to the staircase, got out of
window on the opposite side of the
building and put one foot on little
thin ladder standing against it. There
was crash, the ladder broke in half
and the too adventurous bullock fell,
breaking all his legs, SO that he had to be
killed on. the spot.-Paris Letter.

TWENTY MILLION DOLLARS.

That Amount Involved In tho Tacoma
Harbor Decision, just Rendered.
TACOMA, Wash, March Twenty
million dollars is the estimate of the
value placed by the harbor line COM
mission of this state on the property
affected by the decision of the United
States supreme court in the case of
Prosser against the Northern Pacific
railroad, which has just been handed
down. The railroad company laid
claim to a strip 200 feet wide on each
side of the roadbed. The Northern
Pacific wharyes, bunkers and elevators
coming within these lines, the state,
through the harbor line commission,
looks forward to heavy rentals. In
addition to the bunkers and elevators q
quarter of a million has been spent by
the Northern Pacific for filing in
wharves.
Justice Gray, who delivered the opin-
ion, held the question to be whether the
charter giving land grants to the rail.
road authorized it to monopolize the
harbor. The court held that every state
has the right to define its harbor lines,
and regulate building upon them, since
a general system is necessary, and pr.
vate parties could not be permitted to
control portions of the lines. The in
junction against the harbor commits
sioners asked for was denied as against
public policy. The lower court was
therefore sustained and the suit dis

1.-THE most eloquent speakers are not

Fithian of Illinois. There are men
who could hold an audience spellbound
with speech about cockroach and at
the close of it the people would not
know whether the cockroach was an
animal, bird or piece of machinery.
I saw an illustration of this one time in
political meeting One of the most
eloquent speakers in the country is En-
erson Etheridge, and I heard him deliver
speech that swayed the hearers like
music at the hands of a master. There
was nothing that he could not do with
the crowd while they were under his
control His opponent had a voice like
a big bass viol, halted and stammered,
but confined himself to holnely Ian
guage and rather coarse ridicule.

ABSOLUTELY PURE
The WONDERS OF ATOMS.
Even the smallest speclt Visible Contains
Millions OF Particles

Even the Smallest Speck Visible Contains
Millions OF Particles.
There are but few persons outside of
the ranks of the biological students that
have any idea of what is meant by the
expression IAN atom of matter When
the microscope is applied to the ezani-
nation of living tissue. whether that
tissue be of animal or vegetable life, 1t
is soon observed that all living things
are made up of minute bodies called
organisms. - Experts in the various
branches of biological research will also
tell you that no essential difference can
be distinguished between those cells
which go to make up the Sum total of
animal life and those which give the
vegetable its existence. These life cells,
although wonders within themselves,
are made up of minute particles called
atoms" which are so small that they
must ever remain invisible to the hui
man eye. Some critical reader will say,
IF this last remark be true, how can
it be proved that such infinitesimal par
ticles as your so called atoms exist?''
To this query the reply would be that it
is only when an untold number of these
atoms unite themselves so as to form a
single body, like the grains in pop
corn ball, that they become at all visi-
BILE and then only by the best appliances
that optical science has been able to
furnish.
This being the case. it is not an exag-
geration to say that every little piece of
matter which we are able to see is built
up of millions upon millions of these
atoms which are so small that no mind
can comprehend their minuteness, even
when taken in aggregations of thou
sands. There are, of course, many diff
ferent kinds of atoms, such as atoms of
carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, ETC., each of
which is believed to have its own par
ticular size and weight. Then, too,
they probably differ in shape as we'll as
size. According to the specialists in
this line, they combine together by mu-
tual attraction, which is in some cases
called cohesion and in others chemical
affinity, according as the atoms are of
the different elements. This being the
case it is easy to understand why myr-
lads of these atoms of all sizes and
shapes, fitted snugly one against the
other, combine together in varying de-
grees of intensity to build up structures

ceived about $50, 900. Of this amount
the towns paid to the lobbyists per
