Nervous dyspeptics often do not have any

The largest fountain in the world was
turned on recently at Indianapolis, and
permitted to flow for On hour. 1t is one
of the cascades now in the course of
construction at the base Of the soldiers'
monument. The flow of water meas
ures fully up to the contract, which calls
for 1000 gallons a minute at each of the
two cascades as regular thing, with q
capacity under high pressure, however,
that is much greater. The combined
capacity of the world famous fountains
at Versailles, hitherto the largest in the
world, is $4,000 gallons an hour. They
would make but feeble streams in COM
parison with the monument cascades,
and yet the cost of running the French
fountains is so great that the water il
only turned on on gala days.-St Louis

How the Rivers Are Changing the
Country.
A recent explorer in part of Alaska
as far removed from the newly -discoy-
cred Klondike region as Washington il
from Boston has said: "That country
Is one-half made; the glaciers are slow
ly doing the work, the mountains are
smoking and the rivers are vomiting out
quantities of quicksand." What is true
of the Cooks Inlet country of southern
Alaska is also true, in measure, of the
valley of the Yukon. There are, how
ever, some differences. In the region of
The gold fields there are no glaciers.
Active volcanoes, too, are 50 far away
that it is only by the occasional reports
of Indians or prospectors who have
made a longer trip than usual that
their existence is known. And yet ono
can see, through all the valley of that
great river of the north, aboundans
evidences of the uniformed character OF
the country.
The one thing which strikes the trav-
eler, be he layman or geologist, is the
immense amount of work which the
streams are performing. The Lewes
river, down which he takes his way to
the diggings, rises, as Is known, in .
series of lakes, the largest of which IL
over 80 miles long. The country in the
upper lake region is mountainous, with
torrents plunging down through rough
valleys from the eternal snow
The contrast between this water of
the lakes, which is clear, and that of the
stream emerging from them is remark
able. The latter soon becomes turbid,
being full of sediment, SO that one cam
not see more than quarter of an inch
below the surface. A basinful taken
out and allowed to stand clears itself In
time, and a thick deposit of mud is
found in the bottom of the receptacle.
The current boils and flows very rap
idly, and as the boat floats along sound
is heard like that of frying fat. Upon
searching for the cause of this sound
it is found to lie In the grating against
the bottom of the boat of the very fine
particles of sand carried In suspension.
From the moment Of entering the Lewes
river until the end Of the trip this sound
is never absent. A truly enormous
amount of material is thus borne along
by the Yukon and finally emptied into
the immense delta at its mouth in Nor.

Help yourself. but not by grasping
All that's good for selfish gain.
Gather what the passing moments
Bring In reach of hand and brain;

You may hold for others good
That which helps poorer brother
Who may stand where you have stood.
Help yourself. but not to honors
That another fairly won;
Neither join the victors only
When the hard-fought battles done;
For the bravest do not carry
Standards from the field Of fight,
But into The trying conflict,

Help yourself. but not by casting
Down some noble, struggling soul,
Who has not your strength or prestige.

"A case OF blindness from teeth
crowding has been put on record by DR..
y. E. Gemmel. A boy of II went to bed
nenight with normal vision, but awoke
in the morning quite blind. The pupils
were dilated, fixed and not influenced
by light. Investigation at last re-
vealed the fact that the teeth were
wedged and crowded together, when
two permanent and four temporary
molars were extracted. Sight returned
In few days without other treatment.
The city of Breslau recently con-
suited the chemists of the university re-
specting some old manuscripts of the
sixteenth century, which damp and old
age had made quite illegible in some
parts. A remedy was very easily found.
1t was ascertained that gall nut ink had
been used, as had been expected. When
painted with a one per cent. alcoholic
solution of fannie acid the characters
became at once fairly discernible. Am
monium sulphide brought them out
again in full distinctness. This is the
well-known cure, which once more has
proved reliable.
One of the most beautiful insects
Is the diamond beetle of Brazil. Ac-
cording to recent investigation Of DR..
Garbasso. the sparkling color Of the
beetle, which blazes with extraordinary
brilliancy in the sunshine, originates
in an entirely different way from the
hues of the butterfly. The scales Of
the diamond beetle appear to consist OF
two layers separated by an exceedingly
thin interspace, and the light falling
upon them experience the effect Of in
reference, so that the resulting colors
correspond with those Of thin films or

THE RUSSIAN CAPITAL.
vastness and Emptiness Of the City
of st, Petersburg.

of st. Petersburg.
An indefinable sense of vastness il
he characteristic feature of the Rus
sian capital. Peter the Great planned
a city for one of the 40 islands of the
marshy delta of the Neva, and built
fortress on a smaller island to command
L. Basil Island is now the commercial
quarter, with the custom house and
exchange opposite the fortress, and with
a long line of granite and stucco struc-
tures-the academy of sciences, the uni
versity, the academy of art, the military
school, the school of marine cadets and
the school of mines-facing the river
on a massive stone quay. Only one of
these huge buildings-the school of
marine cadets-remains from the time
of Peter the Great. 1t was the palace of
his favorite minister, Mentchikoff, and
was a marvel of splendor in old St. Pc
tersburg two centuries ago. The 40
islands behind the fortress have been
converted into struggling suburbs and
parks dotted over with villas and cot
tages to the shores of the Gulf of Fin
landau immense district with an end
less network of good roads and shady
alleys, where wealth and fashion dis
port themselves during the summer.
Beyond the fortress to the east is the
populous quarter of viborg. with its
arsenals, barracks, railway stations
and factories-the manufacturing GEN.
ter of the capital. Beyond the Neva, to
the south is one unbroken level, with
a line of palaces along the outer quay,
is the great side of st. Petersburg,
pierced by four semi-circular canals,
and with broad streets radiating mile
upon mile from the Admiralty, until they
end in remote suburbs. In magnitude
and endless completely it is an imperial
capital worthy of all the Russias.
To this sense of vastness is added
singular impression of emptiness. Lon
don is human universe, with system
OF self-centered worlds swarming with
population and throbbing with vital en-
ergy. In st. Petersburg everything is on
a tremendous scale, but whatever may
be the record of the census, the city
seems to be only half populated. The
arms of the Neva are almost as broad
as the fjords of Stockholm, so that there
are few bridges; the cathedrals and
palaces have open ground around them
on every side; the thoroughfares are
broad and the squares are spacious;
and wherever one may Zoe, far and away
opens vista of roof lines and struggling
streets. All these vast places seem to
be tenantless. On the river there is
only sluggish movement of traffic;
the quays and bridges are without signs
of hustle and activity; the public |
squares are empty and the streets at
all hours appear deserted. Even the
Nevski Prospect, the chief thoroughfare
OF the town, is singularly quiet and emp
ty. st. Petersburg has been built upon
so grand scale that generations must |
pass before the streets can present the |
spectacle OF populous capital astir
with human life and energy In this re-
spect, too, it is representative capital
for an empire of vast territorial area,
every section of which is thinly popu-
lated.-N. Y. Tribune.

at the sound of the noise at the gate,
and, like Evey, took in the situation at
a glance. But he was absolutely UNI
armed-he had not even a stick, and
he was alone in the midst of wide
field with death in its fou e t form not
80 yards from him.
Then Eyey Lancaster, from where
she knelt on the grass under the hedge,
took aim and fired. She was his friend,
and knew that his life was at stake,
and that quickened the presence of
mind and the courage within her. She
was made of British stuff, and that
steadied the shaking hand and kept
the revolver straight; and though the
first bullet went wide, the second car
ried true, and the mad dog with mid
eous yell dropped disabled with shat
tered shoulder not is PAGES from him.
Then the crowd closed in and put an
end to everything.
Five minutes later Edward Vereker
and the woman who had saved him,
leaving the excited villagers still clus-
tered around the horror on the grass,
went back into the garden.
1t was as much as she could do to
walk now, for the strain was past, be-
ing only a woman after all; and the
green garden was going round and
round in the dim mist that smelt of gun
powder and grew blacker at every step.
He saw her falter and stop, and was
only in time to catch her in his arms
to prevent her collapsing on the lawn
at his feet. The earth and sky might
wheel and melt into a blackening mist
at will, but pair of strong arms were
round her and her cheek on protect
ing shoulder.
Strong emotions make us view the
world in distorted light with cur
mental as well as our bodily eyes, and
there was no David in the green garden
behind the high hedge; only a brave
woman, weak and trembling, with her
head on the breast of the man she had
rescued from worse than death--the
man who called her "Evey, my darling!"
and passionately kissed her.
David Lancaster came home in the
cleaning half an hour later, with a
piece of salmon in bass bag and the
fifth Globe with all the latest cricket
in it.

had come awakening and shame, az
it came with the knowledge of good
and evil into the First Garden.
Some time later the two men came
back to the house, and Evey's prefer
acknowledgements ears heard Edward
ascend to his own room and David turn
down the passage to come to hers. She
stood in the middle of the floor in her
white gown, her hair slightly RULED,
her face drawn with the stress of emo
ten which she had undergone, her
hands-those little hands that had done
SO much-hanging Imply by her side.
And David opened the door and came in.
She could not look at his face, but
she understood as he walked across
the room to where she stood, and took
her straight and unhesitatingly into
his arms, that somehow, in spite of all,
he knew about the kiss and had for
given her. And the kiss was all she
could remember of her past life.

Edward Vereker, having done all that
lay in his power to atone for what had
happened, left the house early next
morning without seeing Evey again.
And her husband shook hands with him
at parting.
They have not met since, except cas-
uolly in society, and then they meet and
greet as friends. They had fallen a
