A BACHELOR UNcLE's MUsiNo

I often took her on my knee
When she was Ave years old. tr'
And told her famous fairy tales,
And smoothed her hair of gold. ~.
When she was eight she'd run to me
And greet me with a kiss.
Eager to make me sharer OF
Her childish woe or bliss.
At twelve she'd nestle by nay side.
In her conhiding way.
And snuggle up. as I should hke
To have her do to-dayl
But now, alas! she's seventeen. E
And though she's friendly yet,
All I have now Is memory
OF what used to get.

It appears that Assistant General
superintendent and General Mana
ger-of- the Western-E End G. w. Dickin-
son may have to retire from the
Northern Pacific service. That will
follow, IL 1t does follow. because Mr..
Dickinson did not fall in with the plans
of the people operating the other end
of the line, in the matter of the re-
ceiverships. This is a part of rail-
road rumor in st. Paul; it's as likely to
be unfounded as not. They can invent
more groundless gossip about railroad
matters in that town than elsewhere
in the country. But If 1t turns out
that the report is true and that the
man in question is likely to be fired.
the citizens of Helena ought to strike
out for an extra session of the legisla-
ture and do something. That is due.
No man in the Northwest put the
Northern Pacific to more unwarrant-
able use for Helena in the capital con-
test than did Mr.. Dickinson, whom st.
Paul rumors now mark for fall.

Electricity in Surgery,

Mr.. Lawson TAFT, has, it is re-
ported, invented an elect ric hemo-
stat, an instrument whereby the
electric current is applied for the
arrest Of bleeding. The principle
of the instrument is the generation
of heat by the resistance to the cur
rent offered by certain metals, and
the coagulation of all albuminous
tissues by temperatures at or above
1SC degrees Fair. A platinum
wire is enclosed in the blades of a
rair of steel forceps or any other
requisite instrument, the wire be-
ing isolated by q bed of burned
pipeclay. A current of suitable
voltage is turned on, the artery
seized and compressed, and In
few seconds it's tissues are so cosg-
ulated and its walls agglutinated
that further passage of blood Is
rendered impossible. The neces-
sity for ligature Is thus removed
and new and completely effective
method is placed in the hands of
the surgeon for the treatment of
surface oozing.

A Note For Cyclists,

1t will interest cyclists to learn,
on the authority Of M. Bounty,
who recently presented a memoir
to the Paris academy of sciences
on the measurement of the work
expended in driving a bicycle, that
to double the velocity required
treble work, and more. He meas
ured the work done by q pedal Of
special construction, containing
two dynamometers, arranged so as
to register the force exerted in two
directions at right angles to each
other, and also so as to take into
account the effect produced by the
deviations Of the pedal from the
horizontal plane.

Artificial" Feathers.

The subetitution and palming off
OF artificial for natural products is
understood not to be uncommon,
but 1t is rather novel to hear of nat
ural products being palmed of as
artificial. 1t appears that the
crusade against wearing the re.
mains Of slaughtered birds as bon
net ornaments has affected so many
ladies as TO greatly lessen the de-
mand for such articles. Bnt the
purveyors have got the things in
stock, and probably have arrange
ments made for further supplies,
and they are, it seems, reconciling
the "Nonconformist consciences"
Of their fair customers by assuring
them that the coveted feathers,
wings, &C., which "look so sweetly
pretty" are artificial products
Sir William Fowler has examined

fetal plumes, and finds that they
are genuine animal remains.

\tJith a better understanding OF the
Wv transient nature of the many phys
ical ills, which vanish before proper eff
forts-gentle efforts efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge, that so many forms OF
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply'to constipated condi-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, and is
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due TO the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without facilitating the
organs on which it acts. 1t is therefore
ali important, in order to get its bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine arti-
Gle, which is manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by
| all reputable druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
| and the system is regular, laxatives or
| other remedies are then not needed. If
afflicted with any actual disease, one
| may be commended to the most skillful
| physicians, but IL in need of a laxative,
| one should have the best, and with the
l well-intormed everywhere, Syrup of
| Figs stands highest and is most largely
| used and gives most general satisfaction.

English or German Colonization.

During all the long period when Great Britain was striving against Spain, Hol- land and France, and building up her empire in spite of them, the Germans were working out their destiny on a smaller scale, and in a mode which never brought them into collision with this country.
 From an electorate of Brandenburg they struggled into kingdom of Prus- sia, and when wiped off the face of the earth by Napoleon they rose from their ashes with renewed vigor and laid the foundations of a great empire, and con- solidated it at the expense first of Aus tria and then of France. Great Britain has welcomed its rise as a guarantee of peace, a means of maintaining the bal ance of European power. Itcannot com pete with England for world empire. It comes too late into the field It has not the preparatory political training. It has other duties to accomplish, and it's geographical position forbids it.-Black- woods s Magazine
