The Cause of Rheumatism.

An acid which exists in sour milk and
cider. called lactic acid, is believed by
physicians to be the cause of rheumat-
ism. Accommodating in the blood, it at
tacks the fbriops tissues in the joints,
and causes agonizing pains. What is
needed is remedy TO neutralize the
acid, and to SO inYigorate the kidneys
and liver that all waste will be carried
off. Hoods Ssrsaparilla is heartily re-
commended by many whom it has cur
ed of rheumatism. 1t possesses justine
desired qualities, and so thoroughly
purifies the blood as 10 prevent occur-
renee of rht amatic attacks. We sug-
gest a trial of Hood's SarsapArilla by
all who suffer from rheumatism.

FLOWERS OF THE NIGHT.
Peculiarly Adapted to Attract Winged
Insects.

Peculiarly Adapted to Attract Winged
Insects.
AS we all know, there are day-bloom-
ing and night-blooming flowers, says
the Cornhill Magazine. The former
lay themselves out for the fertilizing
visits of bees and butterflies; they
are generally declSed in red, blue, yell
low or purple, and have often lines spots
or markings on their petals which
point TO the hectares and so act as
honey guides The notwithstanding
flowers, on the other hand, lay them
selves ont for the visits of moths or other
crepuscular insects, and therefore have
recourse to something like the tactics
of the frefies and the glow-worms.
They are usually pure white and the
petals are often of such peculiar tex
ture that they seem to glow with in
ternal light in the dim shades of even
ing. At times one might almost fancy
they were stained by nature with
some curious forerunner of luminous
paint, so strongly do they reflect every
invisible ray of the faint twilight.
They thus succeed in catching the
eyes of moths, which, OF course, are es-
pecially modified for receiving and per-
ceiving the slender stimulus of dusk
and the cleaning.
But the nocturnal flowers have no
lines or spots, because these last could
never be perceived in the gray gloom
of evening. They make up for it, how
ever, by being heavily scented; indeed.
almost all the strong white flowers,
like jessamine, tuberose, gardenia,
stephanotis, cereus and syringa, which
are such favorites with florists, belong
to night-blooming plants. specially
adapted to attract the eyes and noses
of night-fying insects.

The superstitiou- Turk.

TREES AND THEIR AGES.
They Are the Only Forms of Nature Which
Accurately Record the Years.

Accurately Record the Years.
Elm, 500 years; ivy, 1856 years; maple,
$40 years; larch. $40 years; orange, $50
years; cypress, 800 years; olive, 500
years; walnut, 900 years: Oriental
plane, 1000 years; lime. LOO years;
spruce, 1900 years; oak, 1900 years;
cedar, 1000 years; yew, $500 years.
The way in which the ages of these
trees have been ascertained leaves no
doubt of its correctness. In some few
cases the data have been furnished by
historical records and by traditions,
but the botanical psychologists have a
resource independent Of either, ami,
when carefully used, infallible.
OF all the forms Of nature, trees
alone disclose their ages candidly and
freely. In the stems Of trees which
have branches and leaves with netted
veins-in all exogens, as the botanist
would say-the increase takes place by
means of an annual deposit of wood,
spread in an even layer upon the sur
face of the preceding one.
In the earlier periods of life trees in
crease much faster than when adult
the oak, for instance, grows more rap
idly between the twentieth and thir-
tieth years-and when old the annual
deposits considerably diminish. so that
the strata are thinner and the rings
proportionably closer. Some trees
slacken in rate of growth at a very
early period of life, and layers Of oak
becom4 thinner after 40, those of the
elm after so those of the yew after 90.

peror.
Careful inquiry has led to the discov-
cry that there are no fewer than nine
of Napoleon /. S hats still in existence.
A writer in The Vie Contemporaries
gives a list of them. One is in the pos
session of Nine. Claitte, whose grand
father, Gen. Giraud. picked it up at
Marengo. At a critical moment Bona
parte started off at gallon, and the
wind blowing off his hat he did not
stop to pick it up.
Another Of the hats, says the London
Daily News, is in little crypt beside
Napoleons tomb at the Invalides.
This was worn on the 18th, sth and 9th
of February, 1907, at Eylau, and it is
the identical one represented in the
colossal picture Of the battle by eros,
to be seen in the Louvre During the
peace which succeeded the battle eros
was commissioned TO paint the picture,
and in order that the figure Of the en-
peror might be faithfully depicted the
hat was given to the painter
At the death Of eros in 1885 it was
found under glass case upon a
wooden stand, and it was sold by auc-
ton among the painters effects for
two thousand and forty-seven francs
fifty confines to DIR. Delacroix, who
presented it TO Louis Philippe. The
latter, after the famous second funeral
of Napoleon, ordered it TO be placed be-
side the remains with the emperor's
crosses and the sword he wore at Aus
terlitz. OF the remaining hats, one
belongs to Prince Victor Napoleon and
another TO the museum at Gotha.

THE AUTHOR OF "sPARTAcus."
Composed by Elijah kellogg When STU
dent At AndoTer.


Talking with correspondent of the
Boston Herald Rev. Elijah Kellogg, Of
Hsrpswell, Ne, thus described how he
wrote that favorite defamation Of
school boys: "Spartacus to the Gladia-
tors:
1T was while ! was at Andover, T"
said he, smiling as the remembrance
Of the event came back to him I'VE
were required TO prepare speeches for
our rhetorical exercises. and after each
man had spoken he was subjected TO
criticisms by his feuows-and their
comments weren't always so compli-
mentary as they were pointed. Then
the professor would follow with seri-
GUS criticism, and he always found
faults that needed correcting.
80 these speeches came 70 be looked
upon with dread. and at last made up
nay mind that I'd try to get something
SO different from anything we had had
and so interesting that il would hold
their attention too closely for them to
think about points on which to criti-
else me, and so l would get off free.
"Well, wrote 'Spartacus-' When l
began it worked just as had ex-
pected. They were so taken by sur
prise that they never thought Of any
thing but the speech. You could have
heard pin drop at any time while
was speaking, and they did not recover
until had finished and had come down
to ask for criticism.
Then when Prof. Payne turned TO
the students and inquired: What
criticism have you to offer, young gen.
tlemen?' there wasn't one of them had
a word to say, for they were all think
ing of the piece and hadn't noticed
anything else.
Gentlemen said the professor,
we are not here for theological dis
QUESTIONS nor for learned arguments,
but these exercises are purely rhetor-
zeal, and, gentlemen, that is rhetoric
''Then, turning to me, he remarked
4 could criticise you, Kellogg, but
don't know whether it would do you
more good or harm, and SO, on the
whole, l think | win say nothing
so" added the old gentleman, with
a chuckle, II escaped criticism"

nE.As Love br Lightning.

The late Prof. Morse made lore by
lightning as il were. He met his first
wife during an evening call at the
house Of her father and proposed mar
riage 70 her before he went away thet
night, After some happy years she
died, leaving him with several children.
He remained a widower until at the
age Of fift J-scven he attended the we'd
ding Of his eldest son. One Of the
younger ones was what the Scotch
tenderly call an innocent, and it was
the kindness Of relative Of the bride
to this boy that attracted bis fathers
attention. He invited the lady to drive
with him the following day, When
they returned from the expedition they
were engaged to be married

BoENETs AND CIGARS.
sure Relief for the Man Whose WIFE Buys
Cigars for Him.

sure Relief for the Man Whose WIFE Buys
Cigars for Him.
When lovely woman stoops to folly
and sets out to buy her husbands
cigars for him one Of two things Is
reasonably sure to happen, says the
New York Press. If the unfortunate
head of the household is Of choleric
temperament he uses language and
pitches he offending weeds out of the
window. This naturally gives pain 70
their innocent purchaser, and is ex-
tremely likely TO bring about family
hurricane, with plentiful shower of
tears. If the victim of his wife's good
intentions is suave and diplomat he
says nothing, but adroitly substitutes
box of cigars of his own choosing for
the gift which was meant TO add TO the
comforts Of home, and generously pre-
sents the first box to the Italian boot
black around the corner. This is I'M
douhtedly the better method of the
two, but II has the serious disadvan-
tage of encouraging the misguided
wife to repeat the experiment which
apparently worked SO well. This is
apt to bl laying 70 the patience even Of
a patient husband. Besides IL is very
hard on the bootblack
Assuredlv some method should be
adopted to prevent occurrences so re-
grettable. Since argument in such
cases would in all human probability
be utterly useless, we venture to sug-
gest another remedy. When a mans
wife inflicts on him the gift of box Of
cigars let him accept them smilingly,
remembering the bootblack around the
corner. Then let him reciprocate by
going out and purchasing his wife a
bonnet approved solely by his own
masculine Judgment. The cure may
seem trifle expensive, but it will
work. The woman does not exist who
would not take the hint For the bon
net chosen by a man without reference
to his wife's tastes is certain to be as
acceptable as the cigars which the wife
buys for her husband.

THE USE OF PAPER MONEY.
Common to Nearly All Civilized Countries
-Issses In various Nations.

Issues In Various Nations.
Almost. If not quite, all civilized
countries use paper money TO facilitate
payments within their own jurisdic-
lions, says the st. Louis GlObe-Demo-
crat. The United States uses paper
money TO a greater extent than any
other country, and in notes of smaller
denomination than any other country
OF equal Importance. All of our paper
bills except the gold certificates are in
tho denominations of 81, G., s., $40, $50,
$50. 500, $500 and 81 900, our gold Ger
tihcates do not appear in denomina-
tions less than go. The Dominion OF
Canada issues 81 and 81 notes, and
various banks Issue notes varying from
S. to $1,000. Mexico issues paper
money of 10 pesos and upward and the
South American states issue paper Of
similar denominations. The Bank Of
England issues all English notes in de-
nominations of Go, $40, $50, $50, e10O,
e200, $500, $500 and 81. 900. The banks
of Scotland and ireland issue notes of
81 and upward. The Bank of France
issues notes for 80 francs, 100, 200, 500
and / 200 francs. The Bank of Belgium
issues notes of 20 francs and upward.
italian banks issue notes Of lire and
upward TO 1000 lire. The Bank of
Germany puts out notes for marks
and upward to 1000 marks. Austria
issues notes of l gulden and upward.
Russia is the only European country
which issues government notes, its
paper money being of the denomina-
ton of l ruble and upward. Sweden,
Norway and Denmark issue by their
banks notes for krone, 10, 25, 90 and
100 krone. India does not issue paper
money, nor does China now. Japan
provides paper money of yen, 2, 5, 10,
20 and 100 yens, and the other countries,
as a rule, ISSUE paper money, the low
est denomination of which is usually
ten times the value of the coined unit
of value.

At IL O'Clock tais morning the students
of the Warren building. who were busy IN
the various rooms on the thiri fioor. were
startled by
Successive Reports of "A Pistol.
At the same time the three or four other
| female~pupils, who with Miss Andrews
had been awaiting their turn, came
shrieking down stairs. saying that wild
| looking man had seized Miss Andrews
and was trying TO assault her.
Instantly there was n scene of wild con
fusion in the building. Some Of the small
students tried the reception room door
which was found locked, others ran down
the stairs and out on the street calling for
help.
Officer Lowell of station ii happened to
be passing up fremont street and his ear
caught the cries He FASTENED TO the
building, and quickly mounted the stairs.
He tried the door, and then putting his
shoulder to it forced it inward with II
crash.
A Horrible Spectacle
met his gaze and the eyes of those gath
cred ABOUT him.
Two bodies were lying on the floor
bathed in blood. That of Miss Andrews
was lying face downward in the middle of
the apartment: that of johnson on its
| back with its CLASSY eyes staring up at the
ceiling.
The officer glanced at the man and saw
that he was dead. But he thought that
he discovered signs of life in his victim,
and he drew her toward the window,
| which overlooks the common.
She seemed to be breathing slightly,
but it was u final effort. Even as the
officer felt her pulse the
Heart Ceased to Beat and She Was Dead.
Her slayer had used his weapon with
terrible effect Two bullets had gone
crashing through her head. One in the
right temple had gone completely through
the head and had emerged on the opposite
side, The other had broken the jaw.
johnson had turned his revolv. against
his own head and placed the muzzle just
back of the right ear. When he drew the
trigger death IAust have been instan-
taneous.
On the floor lay the still smoking pistol
and ado n savage looking razor besmeared
with blood. A deep cut severed the ar
teries of his left wrist. How this wound
was made will never be known.
1t looks as though johnson must have
been insane, and after slashing himself
with tne keen blade expedited matters
with the bullet. The prettily furnished
little reception room was horrible sight
The rugs and furniture were deluged with
blood and the bodies of both slayer and
slain were sanquinolent.
