THE INFLUENCE OF MEDICINEs.-Th The idea
formerly entert aimed by the average person
was that medicines acted mysteriously; ex.
erting magical kind of power that was not
understood, but nevertheless, of undoubted
potency. To-day We know that medicine s
are only useful in supplying that which de-
fective constitution lack. Science has come
into the field of medicine, and with science
has come Anglers Petroleum Emulsion, for
the rebuilding of weak or diseased lungs.
Soothing, healing and purifying, it strength
ems and rebuilds by supplying just the vital
izing and nourishing elements needed.

very desirable for monumental work. AS

der SD rich in gold that in an instant
he is a millionaire. It reads like a
fairy tale, but it happens to be true.
There is satisfactory evidence Of the
truth of Martin Neilly's wonderful
find. 1t was on Monday, April ~, that
Nelly was returning to Rcssland,
British Columbia, after an upsuccess-
full prospecting trip in the Salmon
River district. He had reached the
Columbia River at roint about six
miles north of Trail Landing, B. c., at
about noon, and, selecting a site on
the bank of the stream at the foot of
Lookout Mountain, sat down to eat
his dinner. AS he munched his hum
BILE food he noticed large boulder,
half buried in the sand in dry por-
tion of the river bed, not far from
where he sat.
When he had finished lbs meal, he
walked over to the boulder, examining
it in casual manner, and then, as his
experienced eve detected signs of gthe
precious metal for which he had vain
ly sought for months, he attacked the
great gray mass with his pick, work
ing with feverish energy. He almost
swooned when fragment of the rock
came away, showing distinctly the
traces of gold and copper.
81 am rich p he shouted. Then he
proceeded to take specimens of the
ore from a dozen places on the boul-
der, staked out his claim, hurried into
Rossland, arriving late in the after
noon, and recorded the claim. The
next day he had his specimens assayed
by different experts, who found that
the ore ran in value all the way from
$43 to $58 to the ton.
When he told of hisssgreat fortune,
there was wild rush to the place. A
surveyor accompanied Nelly to his
bonanza, and after making measure
ments, declared that the boulder
weighed approximately 10000 tons,
and that, in round numbers, it will
prove to be worth 81, 100000.
The miners argue that there must
be more gold where this came from,
and the mountain side clear above the
timber line is being rapidly staked
off, and miners are hocking to the dis
trict from distant points, confident
that the story of Cripple Greek is to
be repeated. Nelly was originally an
Ohioan. He has been prospecting for
twenty years, but never ''struck 1t
rich" before.

woods, the strips should never exceed
three inches in width. With prices
for material and labor as reasonable
as they are present, there are few who
cannot afford ite luxury of a finer
floor in few of the rooms.
The constant growing popularity of
rugs and art squares for the dining
room and library has made hardwood
floors almost necessity for these two
apartments at least. 1t is true that
the ordinary matched pine floor may
be stained and shellacked with good
effect, but there is never the satisfac
tion that comes from a floor that is
meant to be seen.
Expensive marquetry floors, beauti
full in themselves, are not required.
There are few more satisfactory and
attractive floors than those that are
we'll laid in thoroughly seasoned
maple. These are reasonable as to
first cost, and they are readily kept in
good condition. One advantage they
have over the beautiful oak floors is
that they do not become so CLASSY
smooth. They do not require such a
high polish as the oak, and conse-
quently have less of menace for fragile
bones. 1t is by no means necessary
for the best effects that floors of this

dence enough to risk 100000 in
policies on the place.
One of the most interesting divisions
of the work of preparing for the eagles
screech is the torpedo factory. The
giant torpedoes are made by hand, for
they are very sensitive and they re-
quire quite lot of illuminate of sill
yer, which must be treated with ex-
treme courtesy. Boys cut the pieces
of tissue paper the exact square, by
machine, and then force the centre
of the square through the holes of a
brass rack. Then lad drops some of
the illuminate in the bottom of the lit
tie bag there formed, and another boy
fills the little paper up with gravel.
Then the racks are handed to girls,
who brush paste over the tops of the
papers and twist them tight into little
points so that the gravel cannot fall
out. This done they are packed in
sawdust, ten in box, and are ready
for you to awake your neighbors.
The one really dangerous place at
the factory is the laboratory where is
made the illuminate of silver used in
the torpedoes and percussion shells
and caps of all sorts. Muslin and
cheese cloth is used here for tops OF
tables, covers for boxes and every
| that has to come into contact with the
explosive, for just as soon as the sensi-
tive illuminate encounters resistance
away it goes, and so do the four walls
about it. The ideal laboratory would
be made of mosquito netting, but this
| would let the rain in, and the shock
of drop would make things too lively
| even for Staten Island. York
