The poles of Jupiter are lattened al
most exactly like those of the earth.
The phenomenon can be plainly seen
with the telescope.
In the useful report of DR.. Lintrer,
state entomologist of New York, it is
stated that the little red ant, a pest in
troduced from Europe, has the single
redeeming feature that it is an active
and efficient enemy of the bedbug.
The pleiades contain six stars Wis
ible to eyes of ordinary keeIness,
though twelve or fourteen have been
counted in this cluster by persons of
extraordinary eyesight. A two-inch
telescope shows about sixty stars in
this cluster.
The most scientific forester in Eu-
rope says the oldest trees in northern
Europe are the pines of Norway and
Sweden, and that these are not known
to live more than. $40 years. Ger
many's oldest oaks live only a little
more than three hundred years.
Mathematical calculations show that
an iron ship weighs twenty-seven per
cent less than a wooden, and will carry
lis tons of cargo for every one hun
dred tons carried by a wooden shiI
of the same dimensions, and both
loaded to the same draught of water
1t has been a sourc of interest and
wonder to arctic explorers to find such
quantities of singing birds within the
arctic circle. They are abundant &c.
yond belief. But the immense croI
OF cranberries, crowberries and cloud
berries that ripen in the northern
swamps account for the presence Of thu
birds.
1t appears that the domestic cricke
of Europe, the Cricket of the hearth,
has been introduced into this country

A Lucky KlOndyke Woman.

Luck, like lightning, strikes in curl
Gus places. 1t is so in the KlonGyke.
Mrs. j. T. Willis vas less than three
months ago a poor washwoman, living
in Dawson City. She set out alone for
the gold fields of the frozen north from
Tacoma, Wash, about two years ago,
She was not successful in her prospect
ing, but she managed to make a fair
living as a laundry woman
in Dawson City. When the
news of the Klondyke discov-
cries of gold reached that place she
joined a party of cattlemen and went
at once to the new diggings. She
staked out a claim as soon as she got
there, and it turned out to be a good
one. She is now worth at least $780,
600. Mrs. Willis has a husband living
in Tacoma. He is a blacksmith and
great sufferer from rheumatism. 1t was
his inability to work that caused hel
to start out for the gold-mining coun'
try, resolved to return rich or not a
all. Incidentally she has the fame O.
introducing the first boiled shirt
among the Yukon miners. She pait
$3.50 for a box of starch with which
she starched it and paid 81 a day anC
board to the Indian squaw who wa!
her first assistant in the laundry.

p%aratus while on the way to a fire has
been found to work so well that the
system has 10Y been definitely ac-
cepted. 1t consists in the use of an
apparatus looking very much like a
small semaphore, now in use on the
railroads. The appliance is rugged up
OIL the drivers seat, and is visible for
quite a distance. When the vehicle is
to go straight out the arm of the SEM
aphore is placed straight out; if it is
to go to the right or left into another
street the arm of the semaphore is in
clined in that direction. AS the sig
nails are always set for the next cor
ner, drivers of other vehicles know at
once what they have to do in order to
get out Of the road of the fire engine
or other apparatus.

From the Capital, st. John, Kansas.
Hearing hat j.. H. Detwiler, a prospsr-
Gus farmer who resides about three miles
east of st. John, Kansas, had been using
DR.. Williams PINK Pills with marvellous
beneficial results, a reporter of the Kansas
City Star called upon him for an interview
regarding the matter. He found Mr.. Det-
wiler a tall AMI apparently we'll prsserveo
man of seventy We IRIS. Upon our interre-
eating him concerning the use Of Pink
entire CO lsent to it's public ltiOu:
II had been troubled for several years
with extreme nervousness. AT first it did
not prevent me from attending to my
farm duties. About three years ago, how
ever. / began to grow rapidly worse: then
my nights became sleepless. and l could not
sleep two hours in an entire night. j be-
came terribly affected, too, with %indiges-
ton. / became alarm ID at my condition.,
and consulted a physician. One doctor
told me the trouble was IT. scmnia, and /
took his medicine for that, but without re-
lief. Another told me 1t was nervous
prostration but his m.dicine had no more
effect than the same amount of water.
Finally. seeing DIR. Williams Pink pills
advertised, and noticing particularly the
testimony of a person who had been cured
by them of a very similar disease to mine.
l determined to try them. l called upon
our local druggist, Mr.. j. Stivers, and pro-
cured a supply. I began taking them, and
in a very short tim my nervousr ess was
less severe. After 1 had given them a
thorough trial, / found myself entirely
cured. I can now lie down at night and
go to sleep without the slightest trouble.
Furthcrnic re. the cure has been perma-
nent, and / can recomme Id PM Pills to
all who are afflicted as l was, for their
equal cannot be found"
