when you find the task of getting well

Paine's celery compound will cure kid

permanently when other remedies only
raise hopes that are never fulfilled.
Palne'sIcelery compound, which owes
its origin to the most distinguished physi-
clan and investigator this country ever
produced, Prof. Edward E. Phelps, M. D.,
LII. D., of Dartmouth college, has been
publicly Endorsed among medical experts
as the only spring remedy in any sense

FISH AS FOOD.


The Dark Is Better Than the White For
an Active Person.
Mrs. S. T. Rorer, in The Ladies'
Home Journal, contends that there has
not been a sufficiently accurate analysis
upon which to base any table regarding
the chemical composition of fish at all
reliable. 1.-THE albuminoid matter in
white fish, as cod, paddock and halibut,
is in about the same proportion as in
beef and mutton. They contain, how
ever, more phosphorus-the active fish,
such as trout and pickerel, containing a
still greater amount, due no doubt to
their activity. The amount of carbon
depends largely upon the amount Of fat
they contain. The whitefish are, there
fore, deficient in carbon. If you should
ask an intelligent cook what vegetable
to serve with boiled white fish she
would answer quickly, potatoes, as they
supply the wanting carbohydrates.
There are other kinds of fish, how
ever, such as salmon, catfish and stur-
geon, that are quite well supplied with
carbohydrates, in consequence of which
they are not SO easily digested as the
white fish. The more oil they have dis
persed through the body, the more diff
cult the digestion. In the white fish the
fat is held in the liver; in the dark fish
it is dispersed through the entire flesh.
From this fact we learn that dark fish
make much better diet for the active
man. Many authorities affirm that the
more active fish, as well as the more
active animals, give better muscle max
ing food than their more INDECENT rela-
tions -

PROOF OF SINCERITY.
How An Army Oficer Stood the Supreme
Test of Belief In FataIism.

How An Army Onacer Stood the Supreme
Test of Belief In Fatalism.
In the days of the ''old army" on the
frontier, when military posts were
sometimes hundreds of miles from any
civilized place, there was little to do in
the way of amusement in the winter
time when the post was snowbound,
and it was then that the reputation the
army has for card playing and drinking
was gained. And it is true that great
deal of both was done at that time.
1t was in these days that an event
transpired that showed that the prin-
victions, and that he was most certainly
born under lucky star. 1t was after a
very "wet' stag dinner party, and all
had partaken most freely of the wine,
and, strange as it may seem, the subject
that came up for discussion was the
Mohammedan religion. The Mussul-
mans believe in fate. To them a man g
his death is set, and nothing can adj
vance it. Well, this belief had been dis
cussed long and earnestly. The pros and
cons had been gone over at length, till
one officer wanted to know of what use
was reason if every one was born with
tag of destiny attached One officer
finally arose and said there was no use
of discussing the matter any further.
The only way was to make practical
test of the question, and he would
give himself as a subject. Could man
willfully dispose of his life when the
fatal moment had been chosen at his
birth from above?
He could get no one to try the expert
ment on him. Finally a wager was
made.
"Who will pay you if I lose?" said
the subject as he drew his pistol and
showed that it was loaded. He placed
the pistol against his temple and pulled
the trigger. The pistol missed fire.
"A joke, =" yelled the crowd.
The fatalist smiled, and, recockine
the pistol, aimed it with steady hand
at the clock on the wall. He fired, and
the bullet crashed through the center Of
the dial.
Apologize to me now," he said. 81

Kaiser and Painter.

There was a touching exchange Of
compliments the other day between En-
peror William and the Russian painter
Verestchagin, whose works are now on
exhibition in Berlin The kaiser went
to the gallery and was gracious enough
to remind the artist that they had met
before. Eyes, your majesty" replied
Verestchagin, land then You were only
'highness, but now you are majesty. +"
To this the kaiser is said to have replied,
holding out his hand, "And you, who
were a great painter then, are now a
greater one.''
1t is not altogether surprising that
the Russian is reported as expressing
deep respect for the emperor's critical
powers, or that he quotes, as showing
imitless historical knowledge, the en-
peror's declaration, made at this mo-
mentous interview, that If ever judg-
ment of God broke over a man, it was
over Napoleon at Moscow" Meanwhile
Verestchagin' S pictures will continue to
reveal the horrors of militarism, and
thus supply one with the pleasant men

The scholar should know his text
books, else he may have the mortifica-
ton of being outmatched in his own
speciality by a layman, as in this story
from an exchange:
A child was brought to Yorkshire
vicar for baptism. AS he was told that
the name was to be Noah he naturally
referred to the infant as che" in the
course of the service Soon he felt his
surplice pulled by one of the women,
who whispered to him that lit was q
lass. "
"But Noah is not a girls name, -
said the parson.
eyes, it is" spoke up the child's ia
ther
An adjournment was made to the
vestry to settle the point. The father
said that whenever he had child to be
named he opened the Bible and chose
the first name of the proper sex that
met his eye. The clergyman insisted
that in the present case a mistake had
been made, whereupon the father opened
the Bible at Numbers XVI, 33, and
read, 1.-THE names of the daughters Of
Zelophehad were Noah" etc.
There was no more to be said.

SUBMARINE CABLES.
The Difficulties Encountered In Sending
Messages at Profitable Speed.

The Difficulties Encountered In Sending
Messages at Profitable Speed.
While submarine cables can now be
made Of any length and at comparatively
small cost, great difficulties are still en-
countered in sending messages at
commercially profitable speed, and these
difficulties increase with the length Of
the line. In long cables there is trou-
blesome retardation of the electric cur
rent, due to the fact that the insulating
cover of the copper strands becomes it.
self electrified, and this surface charge
delays messages by preventing the cur
rent at the beginning of any signal
from rising rapidly to its maximum
and again from rapidly dying out. The
consequence of this is that while from
400 to 600 words a minute can be sent
over land line, the maximum speed
on an Atlantic cable is somewhere about
80 words minute. Before the ''siphon
recorder" and Lord Kelvin's ''curb
sender were invented, the maximum
speed was eight or ten words per min
ute. Curiously enough, the more perfect
the cables insulation may be the greater
is this retardation, and slight leaks in
this covering often increase for the
time the lines working capacity. The
corrosive action of the salt water is &C.
tive at such points, however, and will
soon cause break in the cable.
Professor Silvanus P. Thompson Of
the Royal society of England has in
vented q system of cable construction
by which he expects not only to increase
the capacity of the present lines, but to
make practicable the covering of the
B, 600 miles which separate Hawaii from
North America. His plan is to make d
cable with two separate conductors in
closed in the same armor, so as to form
a complete circuit, and every 100 or $50
miles he will introduce stretches of
cable with three such conductors, the
third being wire of high resistance,
the purpose of which is to act as sort
of artificial and protected leak One end
Of this third wire will be connected with
the positive conductor and the other
with the negative one By this device
the static charge ON one wire will neu-
tralize that on the other, and all retarda-
ton will be avoided. The expectation
is to multiply four or five times the
number Of words now sent over Atlantic
cables, to increase to 20 or 80 the 10
words per minute that could be sent
over single core cable to Hawaii, and
raise from 10 to 70 the words sent from
London to Cape Town. New York
Times
