Poor
Blood

When a horse Is poor in flesh,
a new harness won't give him
strength. IF a house is cold
new furniture won't warm It.
If your strength is easily ex-
hausted; work a burden;
nerves weak; digestion poor /;
muscles soft; If you are pale
and worn out, the trouble IS
with the blood. 1t is not so
much IMPURE blood as
POOR blood. Pills won't
make this blood rich; nor will
bitters, nor iron tones, any
more than a new harness will
give strength to the horse, or
new furniture will make a
house warm. For poor blood
you want something that will
make rich blood.

A Little Notice of How They Do Things
in Texas.


The gentleman from Tom Green county,
Texas, had the floor and pretty much
everything else he wanted.
You people in the east" he was saying
with earnest emphasis, "do not seem to
realize that down in our state we don't do
business by the-same methods that you do
but when 1t comes to doing things on the
really strict t, think we have got few
examples down our way that will make you
feel like apologizing. For instance one of
many was like this: We used to have a
man in business in our community that
was the graspingest old cuss ever saw, or
anybody else. He was not only reaching
out for all In sight, but when he got his
clutches on a poor devil he never let up till
the victim was squeezed drier than a local
option town on Sunday morning. He
was a bachelor (wouldnt have been half
as ornery If he hadn't been), and slept I'D
over the big store that he kept SOS he
could watch 1t always.
well, one morning when the clerks come
to work they found the place all shut up
and knowing something must be wrong or
the old man would be on hand to let them
in. they forced a window and scouting
around they found him up stairs in his den
hanging to rafter, deader than salt
mackerel. They thought at first that he
had done it himself. but on second thoughts
they knew he was too close to even give up
the ghost unless he had TO, so they looked
around for signs and clues and things
like that and mighty quick they struck a
card hanging from his coat lapel on.
which was written: Not wishing to par
ade our good deeds before the public we
leave this token here. Signed: Pro Bono
Publico.'
Coed people hey were who wrote that"
concluded the gentleman from Tom
Green" as you will see by the spelling,
and if you have got anything to show
that is quieter and more Sentlemanly and
refined than that in any of your effete east
country. please pass it this way, won't
you:"

Recent publications of tie Russian Geo
graphical Society contain most interest
ing accounts Of explorations undertaken
under it's auspices by Roborovsky and Koz-
loft in one of the most inhospitable regions
OF the earth's surface, the elevated Thib-
etan plateau, which along the Russian
mountains lines up to the northeast face
of the giant snowclad Kuen-lun. Over this
region Of dismal dreeriness. elevated from
II. 600 to 1900 feet above sea level, mans
foot is hardly ever known to pass and even
to the natives of kashgaria it is virtually
a sealed province. The surface is largely
covered with deposits of loess and earth
of extremely fine particles, Identical with
that which forms the dominant landscape
feature of a large part of China, and very
similar to that which makes up the bluffs
OF the upper and middle Mississippi valley.
In this loess originate sandstorms of ter
rible severity, the dust being carried in
such volumes into the air as TO cause COM
piete darkness, objects being rendered in
visible at a distance Of more than ten
yards. Entire forests of poplars are buried
in these dust deposits decaying and rotting
in dry mass of earth which surrounds them
In the desert which lies south of the Uzu-
tagh. and occupies position upward of
10000 feet high, hardly a trace Of animal life

feet OF the travellers. seeming too weary to
pay attention to their presence. Snow alons

Immediately. On June Is, at an elevation
Of 1859 feet. the thermometer marked H.
Fahrenheit.
Along the depression of the Cherchen-
daria striking contrast Is presented in
tie characteristics of the country, the
banks Of the rivers being overgrown with
rushes. poplars and tamarisks, and harbor-
ing immense numbers of wild camels ante
lopes. wildcats. boars and various smaller
animals. But traces OF recent desiccation
are everywhere apparent, large tracts being
marshes. strewn with the remains of fresh
water mollusks-the former Inhabitants Of

Come! Let US all be merry! There is COM
fort for US yet.
Think not of what we're missing but give
thanks for what we get.
1t seemed to us a wicked and objectionable
fault,
To levy this taxation upon sugar and on
salt.
And the winds on the Potomac carried
echoes Of our walls,
When they smashed the bargain-counter
rates for lumber and for nails
But there still is balm in Gilead. Wipe
your glistening eyes and see,
That toluol and xylol are admitted, duty
free!
Oh, toluol and xylol, like sweet music from
afar,
You bring us gentle solace, though we don't
know what you are.
When We pay more for our clothing, twill
be glorious to recall
The way that we can revel in xylol and
toluol.
Though they raise the price Of dishes and
enhance the cost of hides,
And slate and stained-glass windows, and
lot OF things besides,
Well lift gladstone chorus that will sound
from sea to sea,
Since toluol and xylol are admitted duty
free.

Borfng Through the Nile DeItn.

The peculiar interest which associates IT.
self with the past history of the Nile val
ley, and the possible changes that NAV
nave marked a Transformation i'm the
physical characteristics of northeastern
Africa, have induced biologists TO make a
critical investigation of the region, with
the view of ascertaining in how far the
existing conditions are merely a modern
development of the continent, or represent
the events of a long past period of time
All the more recent explorations of the
region of the Sahara indicate that the
desert conditions which exist today have
been steadily and progressively accentuated
throughout the historic period of mans
habitation there: that many parts, now
desert and more, were at no very
ancient period fertile, bearing good
growth of vegetation of some kind. The
remains of trees found buried along many
of the wadis, or dried water courses. are
evidence of this, as likewise the abundance
of human implements scattered about In
centers is proof of mans lodgment in the
wilderness. Under the guidance of a COM
mittee of the Royal Society of London, a
number of borings have been sent through
the deposits of the Nile delta, and con-
corning the latest of these sunk at Zaga-
zig. report has just been published by
Prof. ]. w. Judd, F. r. 8. The boring
penetrates the alluvial deposits to a depth
of 3i5 feet For the first lis feet the strata
passed through consisted of alterations of
desert sand and Nile mud. Beyond 115 feet
noteworthy change was found to occur.
the beds first penetrated and extending
down to 151 feet being a mass of coarse
sand and shingle. With slight interrupt
tions the shingle beds continued to the
deepest point of the boring, the individual
fragments. nearly all perfectly rounded. be-
ing Of all sizes up to that of hens egg.
This section conforms very closely with
one that had been previously obtained at
Rosetta The conclusion reached so far
from the evidence. and one that is firmly
held by Prof. Judd. is that the subdelta
formations represent a series Of deposits
which were formed under totally different
conditions from those which prevail in
northeastern Africa at the present time.
The land must have stood at an elevation
at least from 100 to 800 feet higher than
at present, and the lower Nile. instead OF
forming an alluvial fiat, as at present.
must have deposited coarse sands and
gravels. Upon the very uneven surface OF
the subdelta deposit the alluvial muds and
sands of the delta were laid down the
surface gradually subsidized below the level
Of the Mediterranean. The borings have
not yet reached bottom rock, nor were any
fossil organisms found that could give q
clue as to the age of the deeper deposits. or
the length of time that was occupied In
the making of the formation.
