The FauIts and rolries of the Age

are numerous, but of the latter none is
more ridiculous than the promiscuous
and random use of laxative pills and
other drastic cathartics. These wrench.
conyulse, and weaken both the stomach
and the bowels. If Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters DO used instead OF these no
remedies. the result Is accomplished with
out pain, and with great benefit to the
bowels, the stomach. and the liver. Use
this remedy when constipation is mani
tested. and thereby prevent 1t from be-
coming chronic.

CALLED A DEAD MAN AS WITNESS.

An Attorney Asked for the Murder.
er's Victim in A Dramatic Manner.
The calling Of q dead man as q wit.
ness once gave rise to a dramatic Incl.
dent in one Of the local courts. It was
years ago, when the position of district
attorney was held by ID. j. Murphy,
now q veteran superior Judge. AS Dis.
trict Attorney Judge Murphy 9rosecut.
ed a prisoner for the murder of John NJ.
Massey. The prosecution ended alb.
ruptly, and the attorney for the defense
professed surprise at what he termed
''such slight showing"
why" he asked of Attorney Muir.
ply, "have you no other witnesses?
Murphy studied for moment, and
then thought struck him. "Mr. Bail.
ill.," he said, 'call John NJ. Massey at
the door,"
Before the opposing counsel could re.
cover from his surprise the baili6 had
left the room. Three times he called
the dead mans name.
There is no answer" was his an.
nouncement to the court.
If you honor please" said Prose.
cutor Murphy in solemn and vet dra-
matte tones, 1.-THE people must rest. Our
only remaining witness lies buried in
six feet of earth out at Lone Noun.
tain"
The jury, at the close of the case,
promptly returned verdict Of guilty.
How much the dramatic calling Of Mas.
sey's name may have contributed to
that result nobody will ever know.-San
Francisco Chronicle.

A Home In the Country.

1t takes good deal to make a good
home. It needs something even be-
sides father and mother, and an open
lire and the cat on the hearth. The
first element in the home is the house
itself, which needs to be distinctly
different from any house in sight.
Then there needs to be some land
around house before it can he real
honey" 1t gives fair play room for
the eyes as well as for the feet. A
wide range Of solemn woods will do
more for a child in week than yellow
bricks and dirty paving stones will do
for him In year or ever do for him.
1t is great thing for child to grow
up within earshot Of babbling
brook. There is kind of musical
ness of spirit that will become his in
that way that he will never be able
to acquire from q piano teacher or a
hddling master. This wide range Of
prospect will also companion him with
the bright and more earnest moods Of
the great mother earth, on whose bos-
ON he is being nourished. He will
have an opportunity to see the days
and his soul will unconsciously absorb
brighten in tue east in the morning,
some Of the glory of the setting sun.
Children in the city hardly ever see
the sun come up or go down. It sim
ply grows light about the time they
have to get up, and grows dark doz-
en- or SO hours later. To O child in
the country there is likewise opportu-
nifty for him to see it rain. There is a
great difference between rain and fall
ing water. Rain in the city is only
wetness broken loose, and Is calculat-
ed only in terms of STRENGTHENING and
acqueduct supply. A square mile Of
the rain or dozen square miles is q
different matter, and is unconsciously
construed by the child as being mood
Of natures mind rather than hydro
pathic uncorking. Still more impress
i've upon the child's mind are the
strange communications made to them
by the lightning flashing above them
across q hundred miles Of country
sky, and the weird aurora and the
swift and blazing track Of failing
stars" that make him feel how col.
EMMY close to him is the great won
derful world above the clouds.-Dr:
Charles 81. Parkhurst.

The lecture hall Of the academy q
natural sciences was filled Thursday
Afternoon, principally BY school teach
ers, for whose benefit the Ludwick In
stitute free coursees Of lectures in nat
al sciences are given, to hear Prof.
angelo Hellprin lecture upon 1.-THE
Common Rocks and How to Distin-
guish Them"
1t is mistake, he said, to suppose
that 1t requires much study to Identify
the rocks which abound oil about US.
A very few characteristics, we'll
learned, Of the leading types. will ems
BILE US to name nearly all the rocks to
be found In this locality. About ten
types would cover them oil. He de-
eclibed the three principal types, sand
stone, limestone and granite, which
cover the greater part Of the rocks One
would meet with in q long walk.
Sandstone, he said. can be easily
known by its homogeneous structure
Of grains Of sand held together merely
because they have been pressed to-
gether, or cementcd, by iron rust or
Time. It may be Of any color, but ls
more commonly brown, red or gray. "A
familiar example is the brownstone
'front.' which many fine houses display.
and which Is as familiar In New York
Us brick in Philadelphia.
Limestone Is carbonate Of lime, and
Is also homogeneous In structure; but,
unlike sandstone, Gun be cut with q
knife. 1t varies in character from
chalk to marble. By far the greater
portion Of oil limestone is composed OF
the shells of various animals that are
s0und in the sen, lakes or running wa
:ers. The microscope must. be used to
discover the shells in some limestones,
while in others they IRE quite large,
ike oyster shells. Unlike sandstone,
It is attacked and dissolved by acids,
and this is q certain test Of limestone.
It is found In many colors. Some build
ngs are erected in this city whose
dmestone fronts are filed with shells,
plainly visible.
The third type Of rocks, the kind
most frequently met with around Phil
tdelphia, Is granite. This is a c0mpos-
tie rock and is not homogeneous. Tho
constituent rocks vary In their proper
uOAc anu ViOOuCS SFStC VuTleCy. 1ue
principal element is feldspar, and this
lives to granite its color. It is also the
principal constituent Of soil produced
rom disintegrated granite. Quartz Is
also constituent. Broken-down
quartz crystals form sand from which
sandstone is made. The third element
n granite is mica, which may be sill
Gerry or brown in appearance. The lit
lie plates Of mica can be picked out
with. q knife. Neither quartz nor field
spar can be scratched with knife.
There is q mineral called hornblende,
which sometimes takes the place Of
Mica in forming granite. One form Of
granite which is quite plentiful about
Philadelphia is called gneiss. It is made
