Billet-Fahrkarte.

It would be an advantage to have all
over the world the same word for tick
ct, for railway, for postoffice and SO
forth. And something of this sort, how
ever rudimentary, did actually exist on
the continent before the German empire
arose and, in its newly awakened self
consciousness, did its best to blot it out.
In those days, for example, the word
always used in Germany for ticket was
billet" and every educated man in
Europe understood it. Now the word
is "Fahrkarte, word understood only
by Germans and German scholars. 1t is
O sorry perversion Of patriotism thus to
complicate the intercourse between ma
tions. Nor has the effort even the merit
Of success. "Billet" is rejected as being
French, but what Of the second syllable
OF the word that has been substituted
for it? No doubt "charta" is Latin, but
1t is equally certain that it has reached
Germany through tho French "carte. "
This is but one instance out Of many.
Germany, however anxious to be free
from obligations to other countries,
must still borrow many words from her
hereditary foe Contemporary Review.

House of Representatives, U. s.
Washington, D. c., Feb. 10, 1866
have for several years been acquainted
with the medicinal qualities of Paine's
celery compound, and can enthusiastically
indorse as specific in many cases for
which its use is recommended by its pro-
prietors. H. HENRY Powers,
1st Dist. vt.
By far the best use that any tired or
ailipg person can make of these preci-
GUS spring days is to purify the blood
and regulate their nerves with Paine's
celery compound. 1t is plain to any
observant person that the best remedy
for neuralgia, persistent headaches
and such like indications of low nerv.
Gus vigor, is the one that most rapidly
and completely nourishes the worn out
parts. 1t is not in the power of any
other remedy to DO the vigorous work Of
Paine's celery compound in strengthen

back to an energetic, healthy condi.

Judge Powers, who today represents
Vermont in congress, entered the ma
tional house with magnificent record
as lawyer and judge of the supreme
court of Vermont.
He is a fine type of the careful,
learned. New England lawyer.
Though but 56 years of age, he was
member Of the Vermont legislature
a third of century ago, and again in
1874, when he was speaker of the
house. He has been state censor, a
member of the Constitutional convention
and of the state senate. In 1874 he
became judge of the supreme court Of
Vermont, and reamined on the bench
until 1890, when he took his seat in
congress. Judge Powers presided at
many of the most notable trials in the
history of the state, and is the author
of many of the most important opinions
to be found in Vermont reports.
No judge on the supreme bench in
any of our states has a reputation for

Mail-Protected Monarchs.

From 1885 to the. time of his death
the late Gar of Russia never appeared
outside his bedroom and study with
out a fine steel suit of mail, which
would protect his body from the dagger
of the assassin. Excepting his valet
and his wife nobody had seen his suit
of mail, but the Cars unwillingness to
go even to cabinet council without it
was an open secret in all the courts of
Europe. Bismarck at one rime wore
such a coat, as did also Stambouloff
and Crispi. The Italian ex-premier in
deed still wears, for protection from
the assassin's bullet or knife, light
shirt of mail Of double thickness over
the heart. None of these men, how
ever, resorted to such precautions until
repeated attempts at assassination had
been made. Nicholas II. Of Russia has
waited for no such attempt on his life.
Ever since the last arrests Of nihillst
students at Odessa he has worn shirt
of nickel and steel.

The F1uoroscope,

Mr.. Thomas A. Edison has invented
an apparatus, called the microscope,
by the aid Of which a surgeon, in
stead Of photographing with the X
rays the bones or other hard substances
concealed under the skin and flesh of
q patient may actually see them.
The machine depends for its action
npon the fact that the X rays possess
the property Of rendering luminous
Pertain substances, which chemists call
fuorescent. Mr.. Edison first deter
mined, by experiment, that the best
fuorescent substance for this purpose
was calcium tungstate. The tungstate
is spread in smooth layer upon a
piece of pasteboard which forms the
bottom Of small box, having holes

Examined, it is placed upon the box

looks into the viewing box, whose
tungstate-cOvered bottom is placed di-
rectly above the hand, and sees, with
startling distinctness, the bones and
joints showing as dark and delicately
graduated shadows, while the flesh is

herbaceous plants growing at height
of nearly 5000 feet above sea-level.
