gether when Caiicot approached the
subject OF the magazine guardedly,
with the one purpose of finding out, If
possible, what Laport knew about it.
To his astonishmenth he knew all about
1t. He had surveyed 1t. It was an enor-
nous pocket In the southwest wall of
the rotunda, its mouth facing the
northeastern direction Of the cave, and
it had no other outlet. Calieot felt
his vague hopes all vanish MS heard
this, but Laport went on talking nm
suspiciously. 1t is, said he, "a peril
ons piece of business and I told Hem
bricks SO at the start, but he never
could see It in that light. He has an
enormous amount of powder, fixed am
munition and other explosives stored
there. There must bea hundred thou
sand pounds. I believe he has some
kind Of notion that he might have to
blow his way out Of the cave at some
time, but he never can do III at the
point of the magazine"
And why not22
because the rock Is twenty-five feet
thick at that point. 2
And suppose the magazine should
explode?'' ss.
..In that case, every living soul In
the Laran on this side Of the maga-
zine, would be killed"
Ca1icot was listening eagerly, but he
did not clearly understand, 50 the old
man glibly explained. 81
IF by any accident y he said, .the
powder is exploded there the magazine
will simply go off like an enormous
stone cannon, whose mouth points to
the northeast passages. Can you not
see that the sudden concussion and
compression Of the air In the confined
spaces. reaching to the last wall of the
arena, will kill every thing by shock?
The whole force must expend itself in
what is really an enormous pneumatic
tube. Hendricks is a wonderful man
in dealing with events, but he makes
some singular mistakes in dealing with
physics. "

GOOD PRE- CHING.

A Little Feathered and His Rough Rut
Attentive Congregation. III 1
A young man who went out from
England TO Australia as a gold-digger,
made some money, and finally estab-
1ished q rough shop at place called
s"The Ovens q noted gold cid about
two hundred miles from Melbourne.
Then he wrote home asking his par
ents to come out to him, and to bring
with them, II possible, lark. The
father died on the voyage, but the old
mother and the lark arrived safely III
Melbourne, md were sent on to the
store at The Ovens. y
The next morning che lark was hung
outside the rough Int, and at once be-
gan to sing. The effect was wonder.
full. Sturdy diggers paused in their
work to listen; many curses from
drunken lips were silenced by the little
singer In his cage. Ear and near the
news of the real English sky1ark up
at Wilsted's store spread like light
ming among the diggers ss5||
When Sunday morning came there
was q sight such as had not been seen
since the first spadeful Of the golden
earth was turned. From every quarter,
from hills and creeks twenty miles
away, came stead stream of rough,
brawny Englishmen, brushed and
washed, to look as decent as possible.
There had been no pre-a arrang gement,
as was plain from the half ashamed ex-
preston on. every mans face as he saw
his acqnaintances But they had all
come on the same errand to hear the
lark.
They were not disappointed, for the
little minister plumed his crest, and
lifting up his voice sang them a ser-
mon from his cage which touched the
heart OF every man In his congrega-
tien, fAsx en- he,ar'ss steady preach

Buying
Beauty.
"If wQs only good looking" is the
wish of many woman to-day.


wish of many woman to-day.
It never occurs to most women that there
is beauty obtaiuable at little trouble. 1t
is the beauty of rosy cheeks and ruddy
health. Most women lose it through in
digestion, biliousness, disordered liver
etc.
If you want to transform a sallow COM
plexion into the glow of health you can do
it by cleansing the system from impurities
and causing the liver to work effectively.
No single medicine can accomplish all
that is needed. A liver pill Will merely
arouse the liver; it vii. not purify the
blood, or repair the waste, or tone up the
system. For this you must follow your
liver pill with some powerful. inv1goratlng
tonic.
The best, and also the least ex-
pens1ve preparation, is RaTnOn'S
Tonic Liver Pills and Ra.

FASHIONS IN MEDICINES.

A druggist has discovered that pat
ent medicines have their fashions like
hats and walking-sticks. There was a
time when plasters were all the rage,
but after sticking to them for some
years the public taste changed, and
then kidney and liver medicines came
into vogue.
People who never knew they had
kidneys began to- take stuff that they
had heard was good for them, and
men first in the field got rich.
Cough remedies are having their inn
ings now. there being something like
800 in the market, with any number OF
doctors and professors sitting up by
night concocting more.
Bitters were in vogue universally at
one time. A man whose sideboard was
not provided with half a dozen differ
ent varieties of bitters was considered
old-fashioned and destitute of enter
prise. a- ....
Then there was the craze for pads
There were lung pads. and liver pads
and kidney pads, and foot pads. No
man who wished to keep up with the
times failed to go to his druggist and
be measured for a pad. With a full
quota Of pads properly adjusted under
shirts were superfiuous.
