TWENTY YEARS AGO.

Twenty years ago, pills, portions and the
surgeons knife were the only resource in
| the treatment of disease. Science had not
as yet turned her full light on to the prob
lens of life She had not shown that foods
| are more valuable than drugs, when things
are not running just right in that compIi-
Gated piece of mechanism known as the
human body
Today, one may almost say that the
higher the standing of physician, in his
profession, the less medicine he employs.
He has found that due attention to diet will
accomplish more than the pills and por-
tons of his forefathers.
PaskOla is step forward in the line OF
foods specially designated for the cure OF
dyspepsia and other diseases which are di-
rectly traceable to some arrangement of
the digestive organs. Its novelty lies in the
fact that it is artificially digested In 9th
erS words, it has been prepared for immedi-
ate absorption without requiring work for
the poor, tired stomach that needs rest,
Further than this it contains principles
which are active in the digestion of other
foods. Therefore it at once nOurlshes and
at the same time relieves the diSagreeable
symptoms which are the chronic dyspep-
tic every day lot.

Sun Light and Heat.

Science teaches physical impossible
ity when it says that heat and light as
such come direct to Ms from the sun,
for these two forces-i. e., heat and
light (Which are simply different mo-
dalities in the motion of electric force,
or ether in motion) require ponderable
medium for their transmission, radia-
ton and reflection to render them per-
ceptible to our senses. Could we, then,
be placed midway between the sun and
the earth we would be wrapped In
worse than Egyptian darkness" and
subjected to degree of cold beyond all
calculation. Then not only the sun,
but all the planets as well, would ap-
pear as balls of fire, from which no ray
of light or heat could reach us through
the imponderable, motionless, forceless,
rayless ether by which we would be
surrounded From this argue that
the heat and light possessed by the
planets must be generated within the
ponderable sphere of each and is the nat
ural result of the friction of the suns

phere and rendering both more intense

THE OK CART.
Some Facts Concerning That laundering
but Picturesque Vehicle.

Some Facts Concerning That laundering
but Picturesque Vehicle.
One would scarcely expect to find OK
carts made in this city, but they are
made here by one manufacturer as part
of general wagon making business.
The sale of OK carts in this country is
decreasing. Here the use of them has
always in large measure been confined
to the rough and hilly farms of the New
England and middle states, and even in
those states they are now giving way to
carts and wagons drawn by horses Old
farmers brought up to use 81 carts con-
tinue to use them, but their sons do not.
The younger men buy not oxen, bu5
horses, not OK carts, but wagons and
horse CARTS How much of this change
is due to the fact that the stony, hilly
lands are now pretty well cleared and
that oxen are less needed for blowing,
how much is due to the spirit of the
age with its quicker movement in all
the fields of labor how much to a great
er inclination toward luxury, it might
be difficult to say, but the OK cart is
passing away. 1t is still used, however,
to some extent 1t may be met perhaps
in the haying field, perhaps under the
spreading elms at the village black
smiths shop The cart met amid such
surroundings is quite as likely to have
been made in the city as in the country,
for they are all substantially alike.
The only important changes that have
been made in OK carts in many years
have been the substitution of iron for
wooden axles and the broadening of the
face of the wheel. All OK carts are now
built with iron axles and 4 inch tires.
New York city built OK carts are sold
in western Connecticut, in western
Massachusetts and in New York, and
occasionally in remoter parts of this
country. There is steady demand for
them from the planters of the West In
dies and of Central and South America.
An OK cart costs about $100.-New

A Big Cypress Tree.

We started at $50 O'Clock, determin-
ing to take on our way the big cypress
of lula, which is so large that it is
of California. We found it in the in
closure of the parish church. There is
no doubt that the latter was built in
that place because of the tree, for which
the Indians feel great veneration. 1t is
precisely Of the same kind as the trees
of Chapultepec, but the largest there is
only 40 feet in circumference, while this
one is, by recent measurement, 152 feet
inches. There is another difference,
and very marked one. and this is the
tendency to a fattening of the lower
and larger branches and of the peculiar
buttresses which the trunk throws out.
In the latter they are almost as fiat as
boards, and in the branches the flatness
is that of wedge. The contrast be-
tween these and the upper ones, which
are rounded, is very striking. The
trunk is not like an ordinary one, but
resembles a buttressed wall so that the
two diameters vary enormously. The
height must be less than 300 feet, max
ing the appearance in photograph al
most dwarfsh. The spread of the
branches from north to south is gigan-
tic, and the effect of light and shade is
enhancing to the artist There are col
onies of lizards and of various birds in
the different departments of the trunk
and branches, and upon the green dome
of the top were a group of buzzards that
croaked without intermission during our
whole stay. San Francisco Chronicle.

The friends of Ex-Governor Wilson, In
their temporary enthusiasm for him,
were little forgetful Of propriety when
they adopted resolution styling him
1.-THE one fearless leader who comes to
the front In every great political crisis
to rally the people to the standard Of
true Democracy" We are confident
that not many even of those composing
the personal meeting of Monday after
noon would have, except through mad
vertence, cast slur upon their Repre-
sentative in Congress, whose splendid
services they have repeatedly endorsed
by resolution and by their votes, or
upon any other of the tried Democratic
leaders Of this county and of the State.
Perhaps 1t was not an inadvertehce, as
the author of the resolution referred to,
Mr.. Morrow, in his paper last week
said that Hon. VIM. L. Wilson's opin-
ion, and the expression Of it, was driv-
ing the country and the Democratic
party to the devil.

In the interval between now and the
election there is something to do. Good
and tried men should be nominated to

down to county commissioner. The
Democrats are going in to win, and with
good men on the ticket supported by
good and well directed work the victory
will be sure.
The Congressional nomination be-
longs to Mr.. Pendleton. He has led the
First district three times to victory and
can do the same again.
