She has recovered complete use of her arm, her appetite is splendid, and no money could procure for our daughter the health Dr. Miles NerYine has brought her
 When my brother recommended the remedy I had no faith in patent medicines and would not listen to him, but as last resort he sent us a bottle, we began giving it to Blanche. and the effect was almost immediate. Mrs. R. R. Bullock, Brighton. N. I.

Where the Sum Gets ITS Heat.

Why the sun continues to give forth
light and heat in undiminished quantities
and unvarying intensity after having been
in state of combustion for untold ages
has long been puzzle to the astronomers
as we'll as to the thoughtful observer in
the lower rank of the star gazers. Those
learned in sun lore tell us that for every
second of time the sun emits as much heat
as would result from the instant combus-
ton of II 600, 900, 900, 900 tons of coall Cal
culating from these figures, it is easily
shown that if the sun s entire mass consist
ed of first quality of coal in a state of COM
bustion, and that it could burn until the
time when the very last ton were consum-
ed-lnaintaining until then the rate of
heat emission now kept up-the supply
could not possibly last over 5000 years.
But it is believed that the sun has been in
existence for hundreds of thousands and
probably millions of years, and that since
the lagos of man" dawned the quantity
of heat emitted has not perceptibly dimin-
ished. This being the case, tn re is but
one conclusion as to how its heat supply
is kept up-viz, that it has an outside
store fuel to draw upon. The latest the
DRY is that the immense res ions of space
are occupied by untold myriads of minia.
ture bodies known as meteors, meteorites
and acrolites, which are being constantly
dr-wn to the sun, and that these, constant
ly blowing it's atmosphere, evolve numer.
GUS streams of both heat and light.-St.

On the god of April, 1878, as the steam
ship Russia was proceeding. on her voyage
from New York to Liverpool, with stiff
breeze blowing and the ship cutting
through the water at the rate of 14%
knots an hour, seaman named Michael
Heines, who was up in the rigging in per-
formance of his duty, fell overheard. I'm
mediately ON this being perceived ship
mate named Matthew Webb jumped over
board and swan to the place where the
poor fellow had disappeared. He was too
late, however, TO recover him, seeing moth
ing but the mans cap, which he brought
on board. The steamer was stopped, a
boat lowered and sent to the rescue, and
after cruising about for half an hour, re-
turned to the ship, with Webb, who was
Iound swimming nearly mile astern of
the ship, not at all exhausted, though suf-
fering somewhat from the cold.-Badmln-

Fate of u Boom Town.

~ was one of n party that went down to
Tennessee in the halcyon days of the iron
mine boom towns, :" says talkative Maine
business man. "There is not living soul
today at a spot where l saw men crazy
with the excitement of a wild speculation,
it being the supposed site of future iron
metropolis and business center. On paper
it was immense. Streets were plotted,
great manufactures seemed as certain to
be established there as the sun to continue
in its course and land buyers elbowed and
jostled each other in their hustle to get
in on the ground floor You never saw
more excitement at a sensational camp
meeting of men in haste to save their
souls, than | saw there at an auction sale
of lots on a business street. / saw Fair
field man pay $4,000 cash down for lot
having 25 feet frontage, and 10 minutes
later he called himself fool for his folly.
His cash is sailed there today, doubtless,
and his lot could probably be bought for
% cents. Its actual value is certainly not
more than that. The great scheme petered
out few weeks after we were there. The
manufactures did not materialize, and
today the sparrow builds her nest undis-
turbed in the very heart of the proposed
great mart of the south ''-Lewiston Jour

him who had peculiar and interesting
malady.
doctor, my arm twitches and aches all

arm grown from the shoulder for an in
spection.

"You are troubled this way often2"
"Constantly, doctor. l can at this mo-
ment feel the fingers of my lost arm CON
tracing with pain"
81 don't doubt it, answered the doctor
calmly; 'you must dig up the arm and
have it burned; then you will not suffer
any more"
doctor, you are making fun of me-"
81 never was more in earnest in my
life"
81 cannot find my arm. 1t is somewhere
in Montana, returned TO dust by this
time"
eff that were the case, your arm would
not ache. As soon as that member is en-
tirely decomposed you will lose the sense
of pain. That is why said it should be
burned. There are sympathetic magnetic
chords connecting it with your physical
system. When every vestige of it is de-
stroyed, it will become part of your as
trail body and give you no pain"
The man walked thoughtfully away,
and visitor in the DOCTORS Office asked:
doctor, is that superstition?'
'No," said the doctor, in a convincing
way; cit is science. Detroit Free Press.

The Law of Motion.

If q person were to jump into the air
from the floor of car in a rapidly NOV
ing train, his feet would reach the floor in
a direct line to the very spot from which
he jumped in accordance with the sec
ond law of motion, which says: If there
be two or more causes of motion taking
place in two different right lines, whether
inherent in the body or external to it,
their effects do not interfere, nor does eli
ther diminish or augment the effect of
the other. In other words when a force
acts upon a body in motion, the change
of motion which it produces is in the di-
rection and proportional to the magni-
tude of the force which acts. Those who
move on railroad at the rate of 80 miles
an hour, or 45 feet in a second, do not find
the relation in which they stand to the
objects in the car i'll any degree changed
by the velocity. Take Il stone, by way of
illustration-instead of the person jump
ing-and it, like the passengers, has a
common motion onward with and derived
from the train, and when let fall from the
hand it retains that motion during its de
scent. At the beginning of its fall it
would have the speed of the train in
horizontal direction, land gravity would act
upon it in vertical direction, and it would
fall as if the car was without motion. If
the stone be dropped outside from the plat
from of the car to the lower step thereof,
instead of to the ground, it will be found
that in accordance with the laws stated it
will fall in direct vertical line, the same
as does the stone let fall inside the car
The stone, if dropped to the ground out
side, likewise falls in direct vertical line,
but it has lost the onward motion of the
train and is left behind.-Brookly Eagle.

THE LIsTLEss MAID.

She was tistless maid; her eyes we're blue;
Perhaps her thoughts were great, but they were
few.
then
To her returned, but soon they fed again.
And after time had lapsed and still they staid
Her eyes that longed to know why they de-
layed,
Straying away upon the faroff view,
Soon lost their own in that more distant blue.
And though her face is fair, as all agree,
There's vacancy where two bright eyes should
be.
