Capsicum

The capsicum plant, from which the
different varieties of pepper are produced,
Is indigenous to the tropical regions Of
Europe, Asia, Africa and America. It
grows wild almost as we'll as under cult
walton in all these countries, and in each
is used by the natives as a seasoning for
food. Its extensive employment has sug-
gested to medical theorists the thought
that it must be considered as a natural
tonic for the stomach in tropical countries.

1t Is Thought They Are the Steel Masaba
and Matsa.
SAULT STE. MARIE, Mich, Oct. a..
The captain Of the Anchor liner,
Schuylkill, which arrived from Duluth
during the day, reports passing two
boats ashore at Keweenaw point. He
thought they were the Matsa and Ma
saba, two big steel steamers belonging
to the Minnesota Iron company, both of
which cleared from Two Harbors for
Cleveland Sunday. The vessels are of
about 2 900 gross tons capacity each, are
very powerful and as staunch as any YES
sells at1oat on the lakes. They have been
in service about three years, and are part
of a fleet of 10 owned by the Minnesota
company. Keweenaw point has some
of the most dangerous spots on the
lakes in its 100 miles Of coast, and the
boats stranded are likely to prove total
losses if on an exposed part of the
point, as is probable, owing to the heavy
northwest gale, which has been fercer
than known for years.

Salad Dressing.

Mrs. Rorer uses cocoanut water in a novel way in salad dressing, for which she claims "an unrivaled favor;' Cut the nice, tender and white parts of celery as for any salad and put them in q bowl. Crate cocoanut and pour over it a pint of boiling water. Let it stand until the water is cool then with your hand squeeze the cocoanut in the water. Then press the pulp out and throw it away. Strain the milky water through cheesecloth and let it stand until cold and cream rises on top. Just before sending your celery to the table scatter over it tablespoonful of grated onion and trifle of 0 fresh red pepper or dash of cayenne and half teaspoonful of salt. Skim the cream from the top of the cocoanut milk and put over the celery; then add tablespoonfuls of lemon juiec-New York Times.

The Circumierenco of a Circle.


 One of the most fascinating studies of the old 1nathematicians was what is known as the value of "pi''-pi, the Greek letter, expressing tho relation of the ciroumfer- ence of circle to it's diameter.
 If the valuHof pi could bo found exactly, the old problem of "squaring the circle" might be solved-that is, the side of q square having precisely the area of a given circle might be found. Bat the value of pi, which is given in tho arithmetics ap- proximately as 3.14159 can never be as certained exactly
 The calculation has been carried to 500 decimal places without coming to any series of repeating decimals. Mathema- ticians have now, by means of their mod. ern methods of analysis, demonstrated that the calculation might be extended forever without coming to an exact result
 It is not generally known that there arc two numbers of three digits each whose ratio comes surprisingly near that of tho diameter and circumference of the circle. They are 113 and 355. They are to each other as one to B. 1415929 plus, whereas the value of pi is 3.1415926 plus. The differ ence is so small that it would amount to only 57 miles in tho orbit of the earth. Or, measured by the time it would take the earth to traverse the distance, it is an error of only three seconds in year. - Youths Companion.

ONLY AWAITS INSPECTION
And the Purchase of the Fort
 Payne Steel Mill
Will Be Consummated and It's Removal to Bessemer Be-
 gun-A Company Formed.

Last Sundays AGE HERALD reported the
 proposed purchase of the plaut of tke Ala
 bama Steel company at Fori Payne by II.
 F. DeBardeeben and associates, and of
 their intention to remove 1t to Bessemer
 and put it in operation.
 The stockholders of the Alabama Steel
 company held a meeting at the Parker
 house, in Boston, Mass, last Wednesday,
 at which the sale and terms agreed upon
 between Mir. DeBardeleben and the agent
 of the Fort Payne company were ratified,
 subject to an investigation of a committee
 appointed at that meeting.
 The DeBardeeben Steel company will
 have a capital stock of S1 ,000, ,000 half of
 which will be in outstanding bonds. Of
 this capital stock the Alabama company agrees to take S15O, ,oO0, and that company
 also takes S75, ,00O of the first mortgage bonds.
 The committee appointed at the stock holders' meeting in Boston will begin an investigation of the matter ct once, and 1t is very likely that the deal will be fually settled within very short time. Before agreeing to purchase the steel plant at Fort Payne Mir. DeBardeleben had it thoroughly inspected by an expert steel man, who pronounced 1t of the very best pattern, and the expert further said that II p1Is SdfUeRley ln6 SISdb EcuuoJl lfduits
 iron and steel man, were to build new steel mill it would be q duplicate of the one at Fort Payne.
 The DeBardeleben company will begin the removal of the steel plant from Fort Payne to Bessemer immediately after the Alabama company agrees to the sale and signs the transfer. The reconstruction will begin as soon thereafter as possible, and immediately on it's completion, whicn will probably be within the present year. the mill will be put In operation. The Alabama Steel company was organ ized in the boom days as Fort Payne, and this plant was completed and put in opera tion about the time the financial depression set in. After running for a short time the mill was forced to close down and has never been started up since. It now has stored in it's yards several thousand tons of steel of mer- chantable quality which was never dis posed of. The steel turned out at the mill | In Fort Payne was of a soft grade.

MONTGOMERY, Jan. 17.-[Special. l. While the past has been hard year with most cities Montgomery has had nothing to complain of, as was shown by the re- port of the real estate committee of the Commercial club tonight. The report shows that Montgomery's real estate sales have during the past year been equal to those of any three years in her past his- tory, and twice as many houses have been built here within the past twelve months as during any year heretofore. The sales of city property during 1894 aggregated over S1, ,000, ,000.

failed, Peine's celery compound made them well.
 The Chicago Herald has just devoted q page or more to interviews with prominent meu and women in that city who have b cen made we'll the past year by Paine's celery compound.
 There are many in Birmingham whom it has cured of serious illness.
 Paine's celery compound is the one spe- c,fiC for those nervous disorders, indiges- tion, neural gia and rheumatism; for heart trouble, lassitude, seeplessness from which men and women in this climate too generally suffer.
 It cures not only speedily, but perlna- nently. It supplies the nerves with food; it makes new blood; it removes the cause of disease. J. s. Bassett of Atlanta, Ga. whose portrait is given above, writes thus of his experience:
 Having ed Paiue's celery compound, l unhesitatingly pronounce it the lest medicine for indigestion, bilious ness, over- work and the blood that have eyer used. .''
 Testim onia Is might bs published by hun dreds. They all go to show that for any of those complaints that arse from an im- , paired nervous system or impure blood Paine's celery compound should invariably be taken, for it makes people well.

 Tho irrigated farm is the only ''sure thing" farm on the face of the earth. Hero man may, for the small sum of S1 an acre. make it rain or shine on any or all of his acres when ho wills. An irrigated farm never wears out.
 There are farms in New Mexico that have been irrigated for $50 years, and they are today as good as new. The Pima h. dians of Arizona, we are told, have culti- vated the same lands for 300 years, and nothing has been applied but the water which freshened and fertilized the fields.

THE HONEST MOUNTAIN RAT.
An Exemplary Trait of This Queer Kanga
 roo Rodent of the Rockies.

An Exemplary Trait of This Queer Kanga-
 roo Rodent of the Rockies.
 ''In O Colorado mining town," said the tourist, 1T saw queer animal in tho shape of mountain rat, which prospector had captured alive in his cabin and brought in as 0 curiosity. The creature had been a captive about week and was kept in a cage in saloon. This native rodent of the Rockies was about as large as good sized house rat Its fore parts resembled 0 squirrels, while it's disproportionately long, large hind logs and tail could con- pare to nothing but those of young kan garoo.
 He's little too neighborly of disposi- ton so1netimes-nakes free with your pro- visions-but he's got his good qualities, and one thing I like about the mountain rat Is his honesty, said rough miner as he fed the little creature with nuts and bits of apple, which it took readily from his hand and ate, using it's fore paws in handling them, after the manner of squirrel.
 He's great investigator and has talk ing ways, he continued. It can't be de- nied he'll sometimes walk away with as many of your things in a night as burro can carry-almost. But it's swapping, not stealing. For everything he takes away he brings back something else and leaves it in the same place. Fact, every time A colony of 'em will take up their quarters in the roof of your cabin, for in- stance, and some morning you'll miss a pair of socks or suspenders, but just as sure as you do there, in place of them, will be pair Of buckskin gloves or a Mexican spur or something of the kind that he's brought you from somewhere else to make things square. It works that way every time, as the campers out in the mountains all know. Where neighbors in a mining camp are not well acquainted this shifting about of things leads to misunderstand- ing and difficulty sometimes, but the rat means all right It's just his way of keep Ing things moving in camp.
 Several other old timers standing around confirmed the miners statement about this reniarkable consoientiousness of the mountain rat. Other good and anus ing qualities of this mountain kangaroo were cited, and no one spoke word against him. "-New York Sun.
