AIamininm Not Poi.onons.

Recently two healthy and robust physi-
clans, aged 26 and 35 years, were selected
by the imperial German health bureau to
undergo an interesting experiment in or
der TO ascertain whether aluminium is
poisonous or not These two gentlemen,
In order to test the nonpoisonous proper
ties Of aluminium, volunteered, every
morning for one month, to swallow Is
grains Of aluminium tartrate with their
lunch. At the end Of the trial neither of
them had lost flesh or appetite or expert
enced the slightest discomfort during the
entire period of their metallic lunch. 1t
vas found that the metal was not adapted,
however, to contain for long period
brandy, whisky or wine. After time
these liquids turn turbid, and although
perfectly harmless are not inviting, to say
the least, although for two or three days
journey they are not appreciably acted on
when carried in aluminium TASKS
A correspondent writing in the London
Electrical Engineer on the subject states
that he has used cast aluminium cooking
utensils for over 12 months, and that they
have given both the cook and the con-
sumner every satisfaction without any fear
Of poisoning, as when copper utensils were
employed. Dental plates are also now
made of aluminium, which, besides having
only fraction of the weight of gold plate,
possess the additional advantage of pro-
ducing no disagreeable taste in the mouth

Willibald pleged himself to the un-
lallowed contract and followed the
fiend, who hobbled on till he stood
by new made grave.
At the same infant Willibald saw
fire spring from the ground and
caught glimpse OF several bars Of
iron and the tools of his trade. The
clock struck IL, and, starting, he be.
took himself to work. So diligently
did be apply himself that the work
grew rapidly under his hand. A
single screw only was wanting when
the clock was heard striking !, and
Wllllbald fell to the ground insen-
sibIe.
When his senses returned, it was
morning, the sun was shining bright
ly, and be thought all that had passed
a wild dream.
Full of shame and repentance.
Willibald fastened to the church to
pray for the pardon of his dreadful
sin. His heart was lighter after the
prayer, but he could not 60 home to
work that day, and sadly he walked
toward Dame Martha's cottage.
Ellen came to meet him, as before,
and shed tears as she threw her arms
around his neck.

of joy. When you left so suddenly

The Savage Americans.

Citizens of the effete monarchies Of
Europe will take deal of educating by
Mark Twain before they know an
American joke when hey see one. The
Paris Herald, initiating the "silly sea-
son" controversies of the English pa
pers, recently started discussion on
the question, "Do Chicago ladies and
gentlemen use forks?" and about half
the idle Americans in Paris amused
themselves by sending The Herald guy
ing letters about Chicago manners. But
the Parisians took these effusions in the
most sober earnest, and consequently
their idea of the barbarity of American
customs is more fixed than ever. A
Havre manufacturer, for instance, writes
for information about establishing him
self in business in Chicago He says he
is the most extensive manufacturer of
forks in France, and as he learns that
article has only lately been introduced
in Chicago he thinks he could make a
good thing by establishing branch
house there.

THE APPRENTICE.

Three hundred years ago there
lived at Augsburg lad named Wilt
bald, apprentice to smith, whose in
dustry obtained him the regard of his
master, while his good nature caused
him to be a favor:te with all who
knew HIM. His master so highly
estimated his skill that when the boy
grew into man he offered to make
him his partner and limited that he
was not displeased at the young
mans friendship with his daughter.
Willibald, though favored by the
young lady, was quite free from any
feeling Of love for her, and the reason
of his coldness was apparent.
In the small house opposite lived
Dame Martha, a respectable widow,
with a granddaughter Of uucom-
mon loveliness. Young Ellen had
quite captivated Willibald, and when
he saw her through ,he window or the
open door he thought there could be
no happiness SO great as that of call
ing her his own. But the old woman
seldom suffered her to stir from her
sight, so that there was no opportuni-
ty for the young man to declare the
passion with which the fair had IN
splred him.
For a long while Willlbald sought
some pretense to visit their dwelling,
but fortune at length favored him.
One, day, when the snow made the
ground so slippery as to be dangerous
to an infrm person, he saw Dame
Martha coming out of the church
alone. He hastened to offer the as
sistance Of his arm and conducted hel
home. She invited him to enter, fol
she thought that only very worthy

VIII Continue to Ride the Wheel.

That the recent attempt at organized
denunciation of women who ride the BIZ
cycle should have fallen flat is in ac-
cordance with the eternal fitness of
things. Very likely a crusade against
the woman bicyclist might have gained
some Roadway six or eight years ago,
when women first began to ride the BIZ
cycle. for there is always an ultracon.
servative class that regards any change
in woman's conventional dress or habits
of life as inmodest. Women have been
too much influenced by this ultracon-
servativo opinion in the past. But the
invigorating. healthful and altogether
exemplary sport of bicycling is now SO
widely recognized that all such un-
thinking criticism can have but little
effect. 1t is in every way good for wo-
men to ride the bicycle, and they will
continue to do so.-Boston Globe.

the latter part of December, my
mother was, according to the honest
belief Of three physicians, on her
deathbed; she could not retain either
food or medicine on her stomach, and
it did not seem reasonable to think
there was anything but death to re-
lieve her. The doctors informed US
she had cancer in the lower bowel
and there was no cure for her. She
showed such vitality for a person to
be so near death we thought there
must be something to help her, and

use of your 8. 3. g., we thought 1t

She concluded to try 1t and from the

in due time by the use of your 8. s. s.,

Pierceis Golden Medical Discovery are all
that is necessary to convince fair-minded
people of its tTanscendent merit. They
are as follows:
All diseases come from germs. The germs
get into the blood, propagate and increase
in the blood, which carries them all over the
BODY. When they find weak spot, they
stick to the weak spot. 1t becomes a dis
eased spot, and the disease is called by the
name corresponding TO its location III the
body. The cause is the same for nearly all
diseases. All impurities are germs, or breed
germs. Impure blood means germ hlled
blood. Kill the germs, eliminate the I'M
purities, enrich the blood, and it will force
itself into the diseased spot and strengthen
it. and give it power to throw of the germs
that exist there DR.. Pierce's Golden Med
ical Discovery is designed to do this-that
is the theory. The facts are these-tens of

No other poet has done more to glorify
the maternal sentiment or to make the
family relation sacred. Woman's work,
as he conceived it, is not only training
the plastic minds of the young, but
squirting the man to more resolute en-
deavor and grander achievement. Yield
ing to her subtler forces and gentler
agencies, he aspires to a higher plane Of
being. While accomplishing his man
hood" by repressing the baser and cul-
tivating the finer side of him, she at the
same time works out her own salvation,
humanity speaking, in the truest sense.
In word, it is by loving and being
loved that she reaches the fullest devel-
opment and renders the world the best
service. Conserving and fostering good
ness and greatness, ministering to the
wants of the lowly, scattering gloom
and softening the sting of anguish-this
is woman s mission. n.-Chautauquan.

TENNYSON'S WOMEN.
The Poet Never Idealized the Work Of the

The Poet Never Idealizsd the Work Of the
Wage Eayner.
Tennyson gave the world pictures of
some of the fairest feminine creations
In poetry-winsome maidens, demure
and trustful; womanly women, loyal
and companionable; devoted wives, gen.
tie and faithful; noble matron5, loving
and self sacrificing, serving the best in
terests of home and country.
Tennyson's conception of woman and
her sphere may be regarded as rather
old fashioned. He was evidently not in
full sympathy with some Of the ad.
vanced notions of the modern woman.
His burlesque of woman's rights in
The Princess" has not hurt the cause
Of the weaker sex. He understood the
right relations of the man and the wom-
an. and his utterances in the closing
passages of this poem go to the heart of
the problem. 1t is still true that wom-
ans chief place and crowning glory is
to be queen of the home. There she may
have an unlimited field for usefulness
and exert a farreaching influence for
good if she but realize her opportunities
and improve them. In the household
woman finds her proper sphere and
work.

roots in the granite sand on top Of the
bed rock. In many places no gravel
or other evidence of wash or deposit by
water could be found, and the fats on
the open submits of the highest
surrounding mountains often con-
tanned the very richest spots. After
searching for thirty-fiye years for the
quartz which it was confidently be-
lieved fed these deposits the nntiring
efforts of these gold hunters were re-
warded. In 1894 Charley Woods and
his partners struck ledge about three
miles south of Florence upon which
shafts have been sunk and tunnels run
until fine body of rich ore was I'M
covered. This gave new courage to
the new prospectors to renew their ex-
plorations and after following small
seams of tale for many feet they found
that these mere lines dropped into the
earth in horizontal position. By
sinking on these seams they developed
into rich, well defined lodges of quartz
containing the coveted gold of the
same fineness as the Florenos placers.
Charley Cone and partner made a
sale few days ago Of one of thess rich
finds for $4,000 and other sales have

chasers being eager to secure these
bonanzas at such smallN figures. One
of the last strikes made was by Hull
and Frank Rice at the head of Bah
boon gulch near the center of the great
placer field and on the summit of the
district. 1t is considered one of the
best finds yet made, and as the combi-
nation to this great treasure house has
just been discovered and solved it is
freely predicted that when the snow
goes off new locations will come thick
and fast.
