Are You In Poor Health?

The Northwest is one vast sanitari-
um. There is notable freedom from
fogs and raw chillyweather. The bright
sunshine and the bracing air put vigor
into the steps of men and paint roses
in the cheeks of women, with colors
not to be found in the drug stores.
There are hot springs, too, along the
line of the Great Northern, in the
West, noted for healing many human
ailments.

MYSTERIES OF MEDICINE.
Doctors Know What Drugs Will Do, but

Doctors Know What Drugs Will Do, but
Not Why They Do 1t.
"When person takes dose of medi-
cine," said doctor, "he never stops to
consider what wonderful provider ma
ture is When you consider that we are
able to give drugs which will go though
the entire system without having any ef-
feet upon any part or organ until it
comes perhaps to some nerve upon
which it expends all its force, it is in
deed miracle of the most wonderful
kind. We don't know why it does it, but
we know what it does. The progress in
materia medica has been wonderful BY
provings the specific effects of drugs
have been discovered, so that they can
be given with specific results Medicine
is gradually emerging from the dark
valley Of guesswork into the bright sun
light of science
''The modern physician does not make
q mixture of seven or eight drugs, hop
ing that some one Of them will produce
the effect desired. He does not take
chances upon striking a remedy one in
seven. He knows now just what drug
will produce the results he wants, and
he prescribes that I attended man
the other day who had not been sick for
30 or 80 years went into his room,
and after observing his symptoms asked
for half glass Of water, into which l
dropped small pellet, triturate. The
old man looked at me after had given
him dose of it and then smiled.
We'll, doctor, he said, you treat
ed me for this complaint when I was
sick many years ago, and I must say the
remembrance of the taste of the medi-
cine you gave me then is still vivid. /
don't think that person could have
mixed more horrible concoction than
that was Now you treat me for the
same disease, and the drug is almost
tasteless. How doyou account for that?'

it is! Every day increases our knowl-

A SUBTERRANEAN OCEAN.
1t Is Believed to Underlie Nebraska, Kan
sas and Indian Territory.

It Is Believed to Underlie Nebraska, Kan
sas and Indian Territory.
The best scientists Of the land favor
the opinion that Nebraska, Kansas and
part of Indian Territory are situated
over an immense underground lake or
sea. It is well known fact that in sew
eral places in Kansas whole sections of
land have suddenly disappeared, leaving
only fathomless lakelets to mark the
spot where they were once situated.
Proof that there is something peculiar
with the foundation of the section of
the country mentioned may be found in
the celebrated "tide wells" of Polk,
Butler and Colfax counties in Nebras-
ka Polk county is best provided with
these curious wells, having between a
dozen and 90 which roar and ebb and
flow with an unseen tide. The roaring
of these remarkable curiosities-they
cannot be called natural wonders, be-
cause they are the work Of man, at least
so far as excavation is concerned-is
caused by the inhalation and exhalation
of immense quantities of air. There are
hours, regular and uniform, in which
the air will rush out with loud, hiss
ing sound, and again an equal space Of
time in which it seems that all the air
of the Platte valley will be sucked into
the cavernous depths Of these wonderful
wells.
The period of this ebb and flow does
not seem to depend upon either the sea-
sons or the state of the weather, but is
thought to have some mysterious con-
nection with the high and low tide Pc
riods of the Atlantic and Pacific oceans.
A meteorologist. of national reputation,
who sought to fathom the mystery Of
the "Platte river tide wells" and who
issued little pamphlet with the title
Roaring Wells of Nebraska" gave 1t
as his opinion that the roaring phenon1-
enon was in some way connected with
the prevailing direction of the wind,
being strongest IN time of west or south
west breezes. The farmers in the three
counties mentioned as being best pro-
vided with these tide regulated, air ex-
pelling wells believe that the water sup
ply is connected with body large
enough to have a regular ebb and flow
of tide. ALI the wells in the counties Of
Polk and Butler which are tide regulat-
ed are of about the same depth, those
of Colfax being deeper, but all extend
ing to a porous stratum having the same
general characteristics st. Louis Re-

with but single claws, while the
fourth pair (which are much smaller
than either the second or third and
not one-tenth as strong as the

with a pair Of weak little nippers.

to simply be useless rudiments, are
attached to the body near the abb

NATIONAL SONGS,
The Collection Made by sousa When
Leader of the Marine Band,

The Collection Made by sousa When
Leader of the Marine Band
1t is not generally known that
seven years ago John Philip Sousa,
then leader of the Marine band at
Washington, commenced, in CO.
operation with the United States
government, a collection OF the
national songs of the world. A
writer in the st. Louis Post Dispatch
says that the state department sent
out requests to all the nations for
their national and typical songs
When these arrived Sousa divided
them into three classes: The first
contained those which official or
popular voice had made the principal
patriotic airs OF their respective
countries; the second those OCCASION
ally used in this way; and the third
those typical songs indigenous to the
people. The whole collection con-
tains nearly 500 specimens, and three
years we're spent in arranging them.
The national songs OF the United
States, England, France and Germany
are OF course well known. Austria's
national hymn was composed by
Haydn after the pattern of God
Save the King" ard the national
hymn OF Zanzibar is but a slight va
ration. Turkey has no national
song, but, instead, certain hymns
called the sultan's hymn or prayer,
apparently changing with each ruler.
Syria's typical air is written back
ward, like the Arabic. The Servian
national song, "Rise Servians," is
very melcdious, and ends curiously
with a note higher than the keynote.
San Marine, a wee little republic,
has the longest OF all national airs,
it covering ten pages OF note paper.
The Philippine islands have prac-
tically unlimited number OF typical
songs. The words are generally i'm
provised for the occasion and
ehanted without any attempt at
rhythm. Lapland has a curious
reindeer galop, and the national
song of Jamaica is saidto be-repeat-
ing the first line three times:
Monkey, monkey, play the fiddle,
Make the baboon dance
This is a good deal to believe, but
If such words stir the patriotism of
the Jamaicans it just shows what
coffee-drinking can do. But, to re-
turn to our own country, only one OF
the various national songs is said to
be of American origin in both words
and music. This is Hail, Columbia.

A WONDERFUL ECHO.

But 1t Was Lite too Responsive to

AT Madame Arabella's the CONVEX
sation turned upon echoes, and a
lady in the company declared that she
knew of one that repeated a sound
nine or ten times

marquis, al have an echo in my park

impossible" said everybody in
chorus.
"YOu can easily put it to the test,
if you like"
Very good, We will step across
tomorrow to hear for ourselves"
"Yes. come without fail" and so
saying, the marquis took his depar-
ture, meditating a little scheme OF his
own. On reaching his mansion he
sent for his old lackey, Sancho by
name
"YOu are up to all sorts Of tricks,
old chap Do you think you could
manage to play the part of an echo?"
Certainly, my lord; you have only
to shout 'Hol Hon and | repeat the
same"
Every well; tomorrow afternoon
you shall 90 and stand III that clump
OF trees behind the lake and. repeat
thirty times any call that you may
hear, gradually lowering your voice.
But mind-mum's the word"
Next day his lordship's friends
came trooping into the park. Sancho
was at his post, pricking up his ears.
"Now, ladies and gentlemen, your
doubts will soon be dissipated," said
the marquis; "will you be the first
to try the experiment, madame"
mo, thanks, marquis; your voice
is louder and more effective for the
purpose than mine"
Whereupon the marquis inflated
his lungs and called out at the top Of
his voice:
"Are you there'"
10 which the echo made answer:
"Yes, my lord; I've been here cou-
pie of hours" (Curtain.)
