Inc best way to do this is to take the
newly discovered pre- digested food at
least once daily. This food. which 10
known as Paskola. is not a drug or a
concootion but pure, starchy food, in
liquid form, delicious to the taste and
exceedingly refreshing. Being pre.

Farming for a Living.

Secretary Morton reminds the croak-
ers that only about three per cent. Of
all the merchants escape failure !;
whereas, hardly three per cent. of the
farmers fail. The statistics really
show that agriculture is safer than
banking, manufacturing or railroad
ing, taking all things into account.
There is no farmer Of good sense and
good health anywhere in the West,
Mr.. Morton declares, who cannot make
good living for himself and family,
and that is as well 81 the majority Of
men are doing in aIy other pursuit.
The man who owns a farm and sticks
to it is certain to profit by it in the
future. There is practically no more
land to be added to the area Of culti-
vation. The supply of agricultural
products has reached it's limit in the
United States, and must now remain
stationary, while the demand will go
on increasing every year. This I'M
plies a gradual improvement in prices
and steady appreciation of the value
of farming nds.-Selectea.

Bitten by q Rattlsr.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, January IL.
H. G. Clark, who has been seen in
the role of snake charmer, in all the
large museums of the country under
the show name of "Harry DeLong,"
was bitten this morning by a huge
rattlesnake. He came here recently
and blasted two rattlers out of the
rocks on Lookout Mountain. While
in room in the midst of highland
moccasins, China snakes, spreading
vipers and rattlers, he attempted to
wash one of the mountain rattlers and
plunged it into a basin Of hot water.
Then it buried it's fangs in his hand.
One of the deadly prongs he sucked
out and then swallowed a quart of
whiskey.
Three hours afterwards he fell to
the floor as if dead. Medical aid was
summoned and the poison extracted.
His arm was swollen to twice its Or
dinary size, and at one time the heart
ceased beating. The charmer' s wife,
Cora, died from a moccosin's sting
while exhibiting in Fond du Luo,
Wis, five months ago.
Clark showed season with Cole &
Migdleton' FIVE museums the largest
of which is stationed at Chicago. He
will recover.

Why Mankind Has TO Learn How TO
Swim.

A writer named Robinson, in Nine-
teenth Century, brings forward quite
plausible explanation of the fact that,
while most of the animal creation ap-
pear to swim by intuition, man is al
most alone in requiring previous
training to enable him to keep his
head above water. He says it is
merely a matter Of heredity, and due
to our descent from races who were
cave and rock dwellers and rock and
tree climbers. This theory does not
necessarily imply Darwinism, or go SO
far as to demand.t the belief that man
is but a highly revised addition Of some
anthropoid ape. He suggests that all
mammiferous animals, when conscious
of danger, uses instinctively the
means given them for fight and es-
cape, which involve precisely the mo-
tions best calculated to keep them
afoat in water. The hereditary in
stinct Of the man, however, is unfor-
tunately, he says, to climb out of the
danger. Hence, unless he has nata-
tory education, he throws his arms at
once above his head, thus increasing
the weight upon the latter, which, of
course, goes then under water.
Thus the struggles of the untaught
human being tend to his own destruc-
tion, as is well known to be the case.
1t may be added that, admitting
this view, we bar ourselves from any
imputation of batrachian element in
our ancestry. Had there fortunately
been such, we ought to have found
ourselves swimming instinctively,
when plunged into deep waters. New
ertheless, in any case, the frog has
clearly been our preceptor or rather
our examplar in this useful art, for
man swims greatly like frog, and by
no means ''like a duck" or ''like
fish," as so often tritely phrased.

Deep.Sea Diving.

The steamer Alfonso XII, having
on board 10 boxes Of gold coin, each
box worth 100000, struck on rock
and sank at Grand Canary while on
voyage from Cadiz to Havana in 1886.
1t was ascertained that the specie was
at depth of 26 2-3 fathoms, 100 feet,
and grave doubts were entertained of
the possibility Of any diver being able
to withstand the tremendous pressure
incidental to such depth, viz, some
81 pounds to every superficial square
inch of his body.
Experiments at this depth were
made off Dartmouth, and two men,
Lambert and Tessier, were found
equal to the perilous task. Also,
dresses were at length made which
would remain watertig ght at so great
depth.
An expedition was sent out by the
Marine Insurance Company, the divers
to receive reward of 5 per cent. or
$500, on each box recovered. Lam
bert got up seven boxes and Tessier
two. So terrible was the pressure that
neither man could stay below for more
than few minutes, and Lambert, for
some time after his return, suffered
from chronic paralysis of the bowels,
by which. he was in certain respect
reduced to the helpless condition Of a
babe in the cradle. Probably a tightly
sealed kettle, sent down empty to the
same depth, would have been crushed
fiat.
As it was, the divers only succeeded
in finding nine boxes out of ten,
100000 thus remaining below. A
subsequent expedition went in search
of this box, and the diver, after being
down for 20 minutes, was hauled up
only to die. Nothing discouraged, a
fresh expedition went out with two
divers from Germany.
The first Of these was promptly
hauled up half dead, only to be sent
ashore to the hospital raving mad;
the other went down but returned
declaring that no box was there.
Whether he really got SO far as the
lazarette from which the nine boxes
were taken is open to doubt. The
pressure at such depths must be posi-
lively crushing. In the accounts of
one of the deep sea dredging expedi-
tions it is mentioned that when the
trawl was raised from great depth
the pressure proved to have been such
as to crush together the wood of the
trawl beam so that the knots started
out of it.
- Trees are felled by electricity in
the great forests of Galicia. For cut
ting comparatively soft wood the tool
is in the form of an auger, which is
mounted on carriage and is moved
to an fro and revolved at the same
time by small electric motor. AS
the cut deepens wedges are inserted
to prevent the rift from closing, and
when the tree is nearly cut through
an Ak or hand saw is used to finish the
work. In this way trees are felled
very rapidly and with very little la
Dor.

could be used. So the letter of the
order was obeyed, while the important

The fuse was accordingly lighted
