WHAT THEY ARE.

A gentleman OF methodical ha-
bit, who had adopted the practice
OF TT tanning copy OF every pre-
scription issued by his family
physician, became interested as
time went on to note that the
same ingredients were pretty GER
tain to be prescribed at some point
of the treatment OF every case.
For poor appetite, or sore throat,
for restlessnes which disturbed the
baby's sleep, and for troubles
which beset the aged grandpa ents,
the favorite remedy was always
turning up, although slightly mod
fled from time to time and used
often in conjunction with others.
His family physician had ever been
successful practitioner and when
another was consulted, care had
always been taken TO obtain the
services OF some one eminent for
skill and reputation. Still the fire.
quent recurrence OF the favorite
formula was marked circum-
stance. One day our friend hap
pened to observe that the formula
of a certain advertised remedy was
identical with the latest prescrip-
ton he had received from his own
physician, and in some surprise he
stated the case to him. The fam
lily doctor, after listening to what
he had to say, replied "The case
is about this way: Whenever
there is a disturbance OF the func-
tons of the body, no matter OF
what nature, il is pretty certain to
be accompanied by arrangement
of the digestive organs. When
they are all right the patient gets
we'll. That particular formula
that you have observed me TO
write more and more frequently
is-the result OF an age OF careful
experiment, and is pretty gener-
ally agreed upon now by all edu-
Gated physicians who keep up
with the times. The discovery
OF the past few years OF means OF
reducing every drag to a powder
and COMPRISING the powders into
little lozenges or tablets,or tabules
il you prefer, which will not break
or spoil, or lose their good quail
ties from age, II protected from air
and light, is the explanation of
how II has come about that this
prescription is now for sale as an
advertised remedy. 10 is as you
say, however, and is all right. II
is the m' dicine that nine people
out OF ten need every time they
need any, and have no doubt
that making II so easy to obtain,
so carefully prepared. and withal
so cheap, will tend to actually pro-
long the average OF human life
during the present generation"

Terms Include the independence Of
Corea and Other Things.
Japan's Retention of Conquered Places
and Lao River Territory.

LONDON, April 16.--Li Hung Chang's
son-in-law telegraphs that the treaty OF
peace was signed in Shimonoseki today,
April 10, and that the terms are:
"Fnst-The independence of Corea;

lion dollars;
"Sixth-An offensive and defensive alli-
ance between China and Japan"
The News Confirmed.
WAsHINoToN, April l6 The reported
signing of the treaty of peace between
China and Japan is confirmed by a
cablegram received this morning from
Hon. j. w. Foster, the advisor OF the
Chinese plenipotentiaries. II is dated
Shimonoseki, April 10, and says: every
thing settled satisfactorily. Treaty signed
today" No particulars are given, the
cable being private one, but IL

probably remain in Japan a short time
until the details are settled, and he then
may accompany LII Hung Chang to
Pekin.

THE INCOME TAX.
IL Is Estimated That I'm All 2fOO Re-
turns Were Received.

The Office of collector OF internal reve-
nue. on South Main street was open till
midnight yesterday to receive income
tax returns, about fifteen coming In
during the evening. Altogether 1t is
estimated that 2100 returns were received
out of the 1900 anticipated. The collectors
have now to divide the returns,
back them, arrange them alphabetically,
and forward them 10 Washington by
May Is. IL will be necessary TO search the
probate records to see that
nobody received bequests during 1894
which they neglected to account for, etc.,
and those who have failed to comply with
the law will be waited upon by the col
lectors.
Ifanybody declihes to give the neces :
sary information, the district attorney
does the rest.
The collectors state that they have been
treated most courteously and have tried
to give no cause for complaint.
Collector Murphy, "the youth" who has
demonstrated that he knows something
more about the law than many of the
Vastorbilts who have made returns,
says the law is hard to interpret, but 1t
has been found much easier sailing than
was anticipated He thinks no.
body intentionally made false
returns. He has all OF the district west
ofthe river, comprising the greater part
Of Providence and twenty towns, and
collector McGlynn will have the

collections begin and their manner of
operation remains for the Washington
authorities to indicate.

QuARRYlNo WITH FIRE cHIsELs.
Thirty Pounds OF Stone Broken Up by One
Pound of Wood.

At Bangalorc, In southern India, the
quarrying of granite slabs by means of
wood fire has been brought to such perfcc-
tion that an account of the method is in
tcresting. The rock forms solid masses
uninterrupted by cracks for several hun
drcds of feet, and when quarried over an
area is treated as follows: A narrow line
of wood fire, perhaps seven feet long, is
gradually elongated and at the same time
moved forward over the tolerably even sur
face OF solid rock. The line of fire Is pro-
duced by dry logs of light wood, which
have been left burning in their position
until strokes with hammer indicate that
the rock in front of the fire has become
detached from the main mass underneath.
The burning wood is then pushed forward
a few inches and left until the hammer
again indicates that the slit has extended.
Thus the fire is moved on, and at the
same time the length of the line of fire is
increased and made to be convex on the
side of the fresh rock the maximum length
of the arc amounting to about 25 feet. 1t
Is only on this advancing line of fire that
any heating takes place, the portion which
has been traversed being left 10 itself.
This latter portion Is covered with the
ashes left by the wood and with thin splin-
torS which have been burst OH. Ihese
splinters are only of about one-cighth of
an inch in thickness and few inches
across. They are quite independent of the
general splitting of tho rock, which is all
the time going on at depth of about five
inches from the surface
The burning lasts eight hours, and the
line Of fire advances at the average rate of
nearly six feet an hour. The area actually
e A a.
feet, but as tho crack extends about three
feet on either side beyond the fire the area
of the catiro slab which is set free meas
urcs about 7i0 square feet. All this Is
Gone with, maybe, about IL hundredweight
cf wood. TaSing tho average thickness
OF the stone at inches and its specific
gravity as . GO, the result is 30 pounds of
stone qvarried with one pound of wood

reading covers them. Good voice reading
