The Philadelphia Record says: with
the recent sale of the towboat Colonel
Thomas A. Scott, which is to be con
veIted into wrecking craft, the old
type of sidewheel towboats has disap
peared from the Atlantic coast OF the
United States. Not long ago it was
coWmon sight to see them with dozens
of barges slowly but surely working
their way up and down the Delaware
river. On the Inland waters OF the
United States few still remain, but
their days are numbered"

Cleaning a Bicycle.

Many cyclists don't give care and at
tention to their wheels from the fact
that they find it troublesome to get at
the different parts. They either have
to lean the wheel against something
while they are working at some defec
tive part or hold it with one hand while
theysdo the best they can with the 9TH
er toward the work they desire to ac-
complish. For all such riders it might
be well to suggest that they grasp the
front and rear fork on the same side OF
the wheel and turn it over on the sad
die and handle bars, thereby giving
them access to any part of the machine
and at the same time allowing them
the use of both hands. This Will be
found most convenient way for clean
ing the ewheel.-Hardware.

When Lord Chesterfield was in his

matter of a few weeks, his physician
advised him to go for an easy drive in

the equipage was proceeding slowly
along it was met by lady. who re-
marked pleasantly to the great invalid,
"Ah, my lord, am glad to see you able
to drive out p II am not driving out.

simply because the combination won 'twork.
A sick man is in very much the same fix
about getting at the nourishment he needs
to keep him alive. There is plenty of good
food at hand, but his digestive organism is
out of order; the nutritive combination /"
of his system won't work. He can't possi-
bly, get at the nourishment contained In the
food. He takes it into his stomach, but It
does him no good. It isn't made into good
blood. He is just as badly off as if the
food was locked up where he couldn't touch
it. He gets no strength or health out of 1t.
Ali these ma1-nutritive conditions have
perfect and scientific remedy in DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. 1t puts the nu-
tritive combination y of the system into
perfect working order. It gives the diges-
tive and blood making organs power to
make pure, red, healthy blood, and pour it
into the circulation abundant1y and rapidly.

plaint, nervousness and neuralgia, and

SCIENTIFIC EGG-HUNTER,

Ihe fcnrly Nautilus, Not the Hen, Is
His Subject.
Scientists are Offering congratula-
tions to DR.. Arthur Wiley on the sue
cess of his search for the eggs. of the
pearly nautilus. The pearly nautilus
is the only living representative of the
great group of extinct animals whose
shells are known as ammonites. says
the Pittsburgh Dispatch. So rare were
specimens of the animal itself that 90
Years ago 500 was paid in London fer
two preserved in spirits. The structure
o. the animal is extremely curious, and
an account of it formed the first scien-
tific memoir produced by Sir Richard
Owen Setting out two years and half
ago for the south sens, DR.. Wiley pro-
ceeded first to Ralum, New Britain.
where he spent 4 year trapping the
nautilus in 70 fathoms of water and
dredging in vain for it's eggs. He then
tried station on the coast of New
Guinea, where he was nearly drowned
by the capsizing of his small craft.
After passing through New Caledonia
he arrived last summer in Lifu. one of
the Loyalty islands, where nautilus can
be captured in three fatho1ns depth
only. Here he constructed large sub
marine cage, in which he kept speci-
mems of nautilus, feeding them daily.
In December last his patient endeavcrs
were rewarded. Some of the NJ titus
spawned in the cage, and he was able
to obtain abundant samples of the eggs.
Each egg is as large as grape and is
deposited separately by the mother nau-
titus It is expected that by this time
DR.. Wiley has obtained the young in
all stages of growth.
