THE AWFUL FLOOD

According TO government estimates
the amount of submerged land from
the Mississippi overflow on April 6 was
about 1880 square miles. the region
containing population of about $4,000
The flooded districts comprised about
4O. 900 farms, of which 1880 were in
Mississippi, 10000 in Arkansas and the
rest about equally divided between Mis-
souri, and Tennessee. The total value
Of the farms, according to the last cen
sus, was about $50, 900, and the live
stock on hand January 1. 1897, is est
mated at S7,5OO,O00. These figures give
in few lines as clear an idea Of the
extent of the disaster as could be con-
veyed by whole columns of description
The effect will naturally be to depress
the value of real estate throughout the
overflowed district for many years TO
come.
1t Is estimated by those In a position
to know that fully POO human livesh have
been sacrificed by drowning as a result
Of the terrible floods in the Mississippi
to say nothing of the thousands who
win suffer sickness and possibly death
as a direct result of the exposure from
the foods. More than 10000 people
have been made homeless, 100000 are
still unaccounted for but will probably
be rescued, 10000 farm animals have
been destroyed, 10000 square miles of
farms inundated. and upwards of $780,
100000 wiped out of existence. This
loss becomes all the more appalling
when the knowledge is certain that
much OF the loss is due TO the destruct-
I've hands of the woodmen. Similar
conditions are likely to occur in sue
ceeding springs and the disasters are
likely TO be multiplied unless a period
is put TO the awful destruction wrought
every year in the forests which are To-

The PorcupIne.s Quilts.

The current opinion that a porcu-
pine throws its quilts at an enemy is
not supported by facts, says the
Portland Oregonian The spines of
the porcupine are very loosely attach
ed to the body and are very sharp
as sharp as needle. At almost the
slightest touch they penetrate the nose
of dog or the clothing or flesh of a
person touching the porcupine, and
stick there. coming away from the ami
NAL without any pull being required.
The facility IN catching hold with one
end and letting go with the other has
sometimes caused people to think that
the spines had been thrown at them.
The outer end of the spines, for some
distance down, is covered with small
barbs. These barbs cause spine once
imbedded in a living animal to keep
working farther in with every move
ment of the muscles.

Dr. Richard S. Storrs, the president
of the American Historical society,
chose for the subject Of recent adj
dress, THE Contributions Made by
Plain, Uncelebrated Men to the Devel-
opment of the United States" The
names he mentioned were Eleazar
Wheelock, Manasseh Cutler and Mar
Gus Whitman. The first was a poor
New England country minister, but his
efforts founded Dartmouth college,
where Daniel Webster, Rufus Choate,
Salmon p. Chase and George Ticknor
were educated. Manasseh Cutler was
also a country minister, but to him
was due the fact that slavery never set
foot upon the soil Of Ohio, Indiana, I'LL
nois, Michigan and Wisconsin. And
Marcus Whitman was an humble mis-
sionary who gave his life for the In
dams, and TO them-for they killed
him; but because of Marcus Whitman,
Oregon belongs to the United States
and not to Great Britain. These were
all plain, uncelebrated men," but they
saw things worth doing, and did them
manfully.

Haunted!

The human tenements is often haunted
to the grievous discomfort of It's possessOr-
by those malignant spirits, constipation and
biliousness. But the abOminable pair may
be speedily driven out with the potent help
of Hostettei's Stomach Bitters. This genial
Alternative, while it relieves the bowels aud
regulates the liver. never. as drastic pur-
gative dose. produces violent effects and
weakeDs the intestines. On the contrary,
the action of the Bitters is precisely anaog-
Gus to an effort OF nature seeking to resume
her proper functions. This furnishes pretty
conclusive evidence that it is better Ia use
persuasive means, so to speak, than TO
endeavor to cOeTce nature to return duty.
Violent remedies produce only temper
airy effect, followed by hurtful reaction.
For indigestion, maaial and kidney com
plants, rheumatism and nervousness, the
Bitters take highest rank among remedies
of the philosOphic school.
