but low merely an object Of interest to
the curious.
In order to obtain NJ adequate idea Of
this great hillside figure. dominating
the surrounding country and appearing
to watch as guardian over the little viii
lago below, 1t Is desirable to approach
it nfuot, trampimg along the winding
lanes, rs the pilgrims Of old must have
tramped when they came hlthcr on the
occasion of some great religious festival.
Seen from afar. the figure doe not APP
pear to he of remarkable size, but grad
ually, ms ole approaches the hill, it AS
sumes an imposing md definite shape.
The figure, about 240 feet i'll height,
was merely shaped in the turf SO as to
allow the chair to appear through. In
the course Of time these deprcssions i'll
the surface became almost impcrccpti-
bic, II to such an extent was the fig
ure neglected that at last it WA only

Man, and to render it ut the SAINT time

The effect has been to produce IL somc-
what startling figure, which is plainly
visible in fine weather from II great dis

There are i'll different parts Of tho
country other examples of extremely
rude and carly hillside figures, and, al
though the very fact of their great an
tiquity renders it unlikely hat histor-
ical or documentary evidence will be
forthcoming rs to their design or precise
purpose, it is very satisfactory to find
that III explanation has been found
which will ut once account for many of
their pcculiaritics.
The theory is that these are sacriiicial
figures. We learn from the writings of
Caesar that the Gauls (and the Britons
were doubtless includcd) had figures of
vast size, the limbs of which. formed of
osicrs, they filled with living men. Tho

THOUSANDS DIE
From Exposure TO Infectious
Disease and Impure Air.
Important Points About "Parifna," The
Great DiSinfGCtant,

In these enlightened days of the nine
teenth century it is an acknowledged
TACT that "an ounce of prevention il
worth "a pound of cure" and that ounce
of prevention was never better exempt.
fed than in the use of tie great dis,n-
fectant known as"Purifne." The public
has had many disinfectants brought to
their attention. Some were good, some
were bad, and some were simply lpdif-
ferent, but none ever yet placed on the
market combined all the many good
qualities of ''Purifine.' In the first place
1t was left to the manufacturers of
"Purifine' to compound disinfectant
and antiseptic that would be odorless. "a
most important matter, las users Of disin-
fectants well know that the odor of the
disinfectant, especially when in constant
use, becomes sickcning and disagreeable,
oftentimes as much SO as the odor or
NELL tobe killed.
In a word "Purfine" is odorless. and
ITS work, removal, not creating one odor
to cover another. 1t comes in highly
concentrated form, and when diluted
With two parts water there is not the
slightest odor. rendering it suitable for
places where food is kept. In the bath
generally it is indispensable.
Then again it is uon-poisonous. an all
important feature, for if used carelessly
by children or servants there are no
harmful results, and it is ALSO utely safe
to have around the house.
AS sample of it's harmlessness it can
even be used in in refrigerators. and, if
accidently spilled no harm is done, and
1t is particularly adapted for this use
The uses for which 'Purfine' is used are
almost limitless, and to enumerate them
would fill pages of The Post. For flush.
ing sewers. and for cleansing sinks,
drains, barns, urinals. water closets,
floor cloths and the bed clothes from
sickness or infection it is invaluable.
Then again the price is so low that il
can be used lavishly. and for hospitals,
asylums. public buildings. hotels, rcstau-
rants, school rooms, laundries, diaries,
markets, stables, packing houses and
canneries where disinfectant is used in
large quantities, this is a point to be
considered. One gallon is used To bar
rel of water, and for general use one
tablespoonful to pint of water.
"Purifine" is a sure preventive against
cholera, la grippe, small pox, diphtheria,
all fevers and contagious diseases.
AS an antiseptic and healer "Purifne'
is invaluble. for it relieves and cures
sore throat, catarrh, stings and bites of
insects, burns and scalds. chilblains, sore
eyes, pimples, and for the bath it is a
delightful adjunct. 1t will instantly
stop any flow of blood. and physicians
will understand Its full value from its
principal constituents, bromihe and
chlorine. 1t is prepared only by the

A QUEsTIO., OF NUMBERS.

Herbert Spencer does not agree with
the scientists who favor the metric
system. He says it is artificial and
unsatisfactory, ten being divisible by
only two numbers-two and five-and
in one case the result is ffths. which
are practically useless in the everyday
life of the people. The decimal sys-
TEN is similarly Objectionable, he con
tends, because it has an imperfect
fourth and Il more imperfect third,
both of which are desirable in ordi-
nary transactions. He regards twelve
as one of the most favorable numbers
as it is easily divisible into groups of
units for popular use.

Natural Gas.

An experiment Of some Importance is
reported, made with a view to deter
mine, if possible, the origin of natural
gas, irrespective of theories hitherto
prevalent. For this parpose dried sea-
weed was STEPPED in water which had
been freed from air, and ON the third
day gas appeared, continuing to be
evolved in diminishing quantity until
the tenth day, when some S03 cubic CEN
timeters had been collected The evolu-
ton had evidently ceased, though after
standing two years and half 30 cubic
centimeters more of gas collected in the
apparatus; the second gas differed from
the first, consisting, it is recorded, al.
most entirely of methane-the chief con-
stituent of natural gas-from which ii
is inferred that this slow secondary de-
composition of vegetable matter has
some relation to the origin of natural
gas. New York Sun

HARDWARE SHOP TALK.

The Statesmen Recount Their Amusing Ex-
pcriences With Various Customers.
One morning, when by mistake we
had arrived at the store ten minutes be-
fore the arrival of the boss with the
keys, the men were amusing themselves
relating their experience with various
customers.
why is it, asked the Tool Man.
that so many people get twisted with
corliscrews and screwdriversY"
Mature of the tool" suggested the
Cutlery Man.
Whatever the reason, continued the
Tool Man, II have observed the almost
universal confusion of d screwdriver
and corkscrew. 1t is an everyday occur
renee with ladies as well as men, only
a lady asks for u corkscrew and a man
for a screwdriver and then look ut you
SO surprised.

said the Stove Man, mine people out of
ten ask for stove litter D."

Cutlery Man, chow man or woman

rupted the Tool Man. 1.-THE woman who
asked for clear tacks got what she
wanted as quickly as though she had ask
ed for timed tacks Such requests give
opportunities for mental gymnastics,
and thus relieve the lethargic tenden-
cies incident to continuous routine
work. "
Without apparently observing the in
terruption the Cutlery Man continued
"The other day lady came rustling
into the store. She was one of those
nervous, bustling little women, and she
wanted a pair Of 'twinchers. Noticing
my blank look, she said, You know, like

'tweezers. When man wants an an

HERE IS A S|DEL|GHI
MR.. CLEVELAND WHISTLES TO
HIS LITTLE GIRLS.
He Is Not Quite an Artist-Favorite
Air Ancient-"Whistle, Pop."-Maj.
Mckinley, Too.

Every man has firm belief stored
aw. somewhere in his heart that he
is a mighty fine whistler, says an
American paper. He also has some
particular tune which he thinks he
whistles with more feeling and with
greater charm than any one else.
But if this man were asked to whistle
his pet melody in company he would
think that some one was trying to
make fun of him in public.
Whistling and small boys are gen
orally supposed to be the inalienable
property of one another, but any one
whose vocation throws him much in
the company of the statesmen of the
day, knows that whistling belongs rs
much to them as it does to the small
boy. 1t may not be the height of dig
nifty to fill the air with the shrill notes
of some popular tune, but that doesn't
seem to count.
Even the chief executive of the ma
ton is addicted to the whistling habit.
lie has only one tune in his repertory,
and this was in the hey-day of its pop
ularity twenty-five years ago The
first line of it runs Darling / am
growing old, silver threads among
the gold" Men who were Young n
quarter of century ago will remem-
Der that when they called on their
sweethearts they were always regaled
with this song. which teemed with
touching sentiment.
Ruth and Esther can both sing "Sil-
YER Threads Among the Gold" but
their baby sister is not old enough vet
to appreciate the beauties of the song
Every night when Ruth and Esther
have been placed i'm their brass cribs
Mr.. Cleveland visits the room and sits
with them until they are asleep. Ruth
always says, Whistle. pop" and
Esther, who says everything that her
sister does, repeats, whistle, pop"
Other people would not think much Of
the President as n whistler, but his
little girls think it is the finest music
in the land. They drift into the land
OF nod every night to the same tune.
and in their waking hours hum it all
day long, Once or twice Mr.. Cleveland
has endeavored to throw in little
variety by singing his only song, but
as he is unable to hold the tune he
was warned by his children to desist
William Mckinley is the personifica-
ton of dignity at all times, with the
one exception of when he is in a
whistling mood. Rumor saws that
since he began sweeping everything
on the board to the chagrin of his @.
o. p. rivals, he has been whistling a
great deal. He has number of
songs, but unconsciously he has set
tied upon as his favorite that joyous
melody called eyer Can't Lose Me.
Honey" Joe Marley of Maine heard
the Ohio statesman whistle this not
long ago. and mutual friends say he
regarded it almost as a personal af-
front to Tom Reed.
