Rivers That Flow Backward.

Near Argostoli town on one of the
Greek islands, four little torrents of sea
water, rolling on an average 55 gallons a
second, penetrate into the assures of the
cliffs, flow rapidly inland and finally grad
ually disappear into the creyices of the
soil.
Two of these water courses are suffi-
GENTLY powerful to turn all the year round
the wheels of two mills constructed by an
enterprising Englishman. This seems at
first sight absurd on the face of it, but it
Is quite easily explained. The hills of the
island are of soft, calcareous rock, full of
assures, and suck up water like immense
sponges.
In consequence the pools in their subter-
ranean cayerns are always lower than the
surrounding sea, SO, to restore the balance,
these little brooks, fed by the waves, are
always descending inland. The curious
yet natural result of the constant evapora
ton of the sea water is that gigantic masses
of salt crystals are constantly forming in
the caves. Strand Magazine.

These rocks lie to the southern end of
Santa Catalina island in the Pacific ocean.
They, and the rocks on shore (seal rocks
proper lie off shore from ten to fifty rods ,
are usually covered with seals. Herds of
them lie there basking in the sun al mid
day, and they bark and make such I'M
earthly noises that they give weirdness to
the scene at sunset.
The tourist who comes to the island
must go to seal rocks, and so he can have
his choice of many boats and boatmen

WEIGHS, SWITZERLAND, July 81, 1897.
Through some English girls we heard
OF this place which is on Lake Lucerne
only half an hours ride from Lucerne.
1t is very pretty and quiet, and we live
here for four francs eighty cents) each
per day. The food is good and in abun-
dance; we shall probably stay here a
week. Grandmother is here with US,
having come up from Lugano, meeting us
at Lucerne.
The last excursion we made from here
was up the Rigi, one OF the high noun
tains of the Alpine range. We walked
both ways. We left here at $50, and
walked and walked four whole hours, and
at last reached the Rigi-Kulm, very hot
and very tired.
Up there, though, we soon became
quite cool again-a bit too cool for COM
fort-and were very glad that we hadn't
overlooked those lines in the guide books
informing us that ''warm wraps will be
found necessary.
AT the top we spent about three
quarters Of an hour in admiring the view,
writing postal cards and eating. We
sent you postal card; hope you re-
ceived it. We also bought some edelweiss
and pressed them; didn't try to pick any
ourselves as they only grow in the most
dangerous places.
We found the walk down the mountain
even more trying than the walk up,
though OF course we did it much quicker.
1t got quite dark as we neared the foot of
the mountain, and by that time all our
matches had given out, SO we were obliged
to stop every few minutes and grope
around until we found the gravel pat
again. Sometimes it was rat her uncanny,
but as we were party of eight we
managed to keep up our spirits pretty
well.

The Shakers of Mount Lebanon, a com
munity Of simple, honest, God-fearng
men and women, have prepared he Shaker
Digestive Cordial for many years, and it
is always the same simple, honest, cura-
tive medicine that has helped to make the
Shakers the healthy, long-lived people
that they are. The Shakers never have
indigestion. This is partly owing to their
simple mode of life, partly to the Won
derful properties of Shaker Digestive
Cordial. Indigestion is caused by the
stomach glands not supplying enough
digestive juice. Shaker Digestive Cordial
supplies what's wanting. Shaker Diges-
tive Cordial invigorates the stomach and
all its glands SO that after awhile they
don't need help. As evidence OF the hon
esty of Shaker Digestive Cordial, the for
mula is printed on every bottle. Sold by

THE LAPP'S SNOWSHOES.

He Can Easily Travel Ten Miles Hour
on Them.
For many months in the year in the
north of Scandinavia the snow lies deep
and frozen over the surface of the earth.
Ordinary walking is not possible, as
with every step the weight Of the body
would causs one to sink deep down into
the treachsrous snow, and the fatigue
would not only be terrible but the risk
to life would be enormous Therefore
the young Lapp has to learn as soon as
possible the art Of walking On snow
shoes, much more difficult matter
than you may be inclined to suppose.
The Lapp snowshoes are made of fir
wood, pointed and slightly upturned at
either end They are third of an inch
thick in the center, which is the thick
est part, or inches wide and vary in
length from Z to II feet. In the center
is a loop through which the foot is
passed. and the wearer is furnished with
two wooden slaves with iron spikes at
band. and by which he can help to push
himself forward The feet have to be
slightly raised one after the other, and
the motion is gliding and swift, Lap
lander easily travelling from 10 to 10
miles an hour when the snow is crisp
and in good condition.
The greatest difficulty is found in as
sand mo opl JocconJinp stoa,> hills
The ascent is made in zigzag and is
very hnrd work to those who are not
used to it, In the descent the feet have
to be kept quite still and close together
and the body bent we'll forward, while
the traveller guides his course with a
long staff, which he sticks into the
snow now ON one side and now on the
other. The speed is very great, and no
one could thus come down a mountain
side who had not been In the habit of
wearing snowshoes from his childhood
upward. Any one who has not been
used to do so has to ride ON staff,
leaning heavily upon it, so as to de-
crease the speed. and keeping the feet
quite close together. Even this Is not at
all easy, and the traveller may suddenly
lose his balance, fall headlong into the
deep snow, and rise to see his snow
shoes far below him at the bottom of
the mountain side.
The Laps, however, have great skill
IN the use Of snowshoes, and it is sur
prising to zee how much at home even
young children are upon them, leaping
