News comes from Attica, Ind, of the de-
struction, by fire, of the big laboratory and
office building Of the Sterling Remedy Com
tany, makers of Cascarets Candy .Cathartic
and No-To-Bac, the original guaranteed to-
bacco habit cure. The fire broke out in one
of the packing rooms on the third floor dur
ing the noon hour, and had made consider
able Roadway before IL was discovered.
As soon as il became apparent that the
fire department would have difficulty IN
combating the flames, the work of saving
the thousands of valuable documents, con
tracts, files, millions of booklets and tons
of advertising matter was begun with the
utmost energy. The Sterling Remedy Com
pany is the principal industry of the beauti.
full little city of Attica, employing several
hundred people, besides being affiliated with
the Indiana Mineral Springs, the famous
Magno-Mud Cure. Hundreds OF men, WON.

rying the contents of the burning building
TO places of safety.
Meanwhile the proverbial energy and
and presence-of-mind of General Manager
Kramer, of the Sterling Remedy Company,
was displayed. He quietly walked away,
and secured n big show room near by, and
had all the Office furniture, charred and d.
lapidated as it was, taken there. Before the
boxes had ceased burning, in which the fire
originated, orders were being dictated in
the make shift Office for new supplies, and
car loads of material were ordered by wire
while the streams were still playing on the
ruins. Several shipments were made the
same evening from goods saved, and on Fri
day morning, all departments were at work
in various rooms about town, while a gang
Of men were cleaning away the wreckage

be stands in the way of such men as
Fench and Sharpless. That letter you
have is only a beginning; if they find
out it hasn't driven Kilgrow out of the
country, we may look for harsher meas
ures. Can you see the old man and bring
him to me to-day?"
Ma, ma" objected Duncan; "ye'll no
be able to fash yer brain wi business
this day. Johnnie Keelgrow's ease has
kept weel enough these sax years, an q
day or so MARIE or less Wilma make or
break him"
But you don't understand insisted
1horndyke, rising on his elbow and
pushing back the dizziness that threat
cned to submerge him. "A single day
may make all the difference between
success and failure. You must remem-
Der that it's the life or the liberty of
enc poor old man against more money
than you ever saw. If you don't prom
Use to bring Kilgrow here to-day I'll

Duncan yielded at discretion, secretly
proud of the invalid's pluck. "Mak

fash yersel' waur than We need. I'll
fess auld Johnnie down, gin i hae TO
tie him neck an heels an lug him. Do
We just be quiet, moo, an Martha'll
bring ye a bit an a sup"
Thorndyke sat up to eat the break
fast brought him a little later by Mrs.
Duncan, and he was able in the course
CT the forenoon to dress and go down TO
the sitting-room. Elsie had been re-
preaching herself all the morning for
her part in the imprudent~ excursion of
the day before, and when the invalid
came down she installed herself at once
as his nurse and companion. Philip was
made comfortable upon the lounge, and
when he was tucked in with rugs and
propped to the exact angle of restful
ease with pillows the girl ransacked the
ancient bookcase for something TO read
10 him. Philip saw and protested.

beside the lounge. II don't believe

O GOOD OR ILL.


In offering to fight the battle for the
old mountaineer, Thorndyke had reck-
oned without his host i'm one very i'm
portant particular. When he awoke
from a troubled sleep on the morning
following the talk with Duncan he was
too ill to get up, and he was still in bed
when the farmer came to call him to
breakfast.
Il feel as il I'd been brayed in a NOR
tar" he said, in reply TO Duncan's in
quiries. Il suppose it was the long
tramp yesterday; i ought to have had

INSANITY AND CIVILIZATION.
As Civilization Advances Mental Un-


40 pessimistic as II may seem, there
can he no doubt Of the fact that insan-
ity is. to large extent. the product Of
civilization.
Otherwise, the alarming growth OF
this mental disorder in some Of the
most highly civilized countries of the
globe completely battles explanation.
For instance, In Prussia, which is one of
the most cultured and refined %centers
of Europe, there are nov confined in
the various lunatic asylums not less
than $3.50 inmates. These figures are
startling. but even more so is the
steady rate of increase which has been
going on for several years past. In 1871
there were only 5000 inmates in these
Prussian asylums; but in 1850 the num-
Der had grown TO 66,345, and again in
1896 TO s2,s50. II these figures are cor
rect there are $1,000 more lunatics to-
day in Prussia thar in 1871. and, what
ever the cause or ,6uses of this alarm
ing growth Of insanity may be, the fig
ures themselves contain food for seri-
GUS thought.
What is tru of Prussia Is also true in
y 80 VI 'lth
France, Germany and the United States.
On o of the ~tireless mental ac-
tivify which characterizes the average
American, the statement can excite lit
tie surprise that during the past few
years the number of insane asylums In
this country has rapidly increased. In
sanity is brought on mainly through
overexertion, and, naturally, the pres
ent w~ideawake aud progressive age of
the world is calculated to burden the
mind with more than il can readily
bear. OF course. this observation is not
made for the purpose of impeaching
our civilization, but rather for the pur-
pose of showing that the human mind.
in order to grapple with the intricate
problems of this complex age, needs oc-
c%asional rest and relaxation. The con
slant strain which is put upon the mind
by weigbty business or professional
matters at the present time calls for
something more than eight hours of
sleep out Of every twenty-four. Men.
tai diversion is needed; ideas and sur
roundings should be changed; diligen,
care also should be taken of the body
ana other precautions which suggest
themselves readily to every thoughtful
person, should be observed. Otherwis,
the mind cannot possibly hold up un.
der the burden imposed upon II, and
sooner or later there must come a pa
thetic end to the strain. To observe the
precautions limited at above does not
require that the march of progress.

the least. On the contrary the observ,
ano' OF these precautions is calculated
to luild up and strengthen the minc
and to make IL capable of greater
achievements in the cause of progress,
and civilization. If the mind is tn,
noblest part of the human organism
why ruthlessly destroy it? This is q
question which should address itself tc
the sober thought of Americans.-At

An Antique Treasure Hou.e.

lRerhaps the widest of all the meny
wild suggestions in Mr.. Rider Hag
Cards king Solomon's Mines was the
existence in Newfoundland of a mighty
treasure in a cave. the entrance to
which was protected by a falling door
of stone. 1t at once struck the reader
that the treasure was improbable be-
cause the foreign race who dug out the
diamonds would, as fast as they APP
peared, send them on to their employ
ers. A correspondent of the Birming-
ham Post, however, declares that
Messrs. Neale and johnson. who are EEK
ploring Zimbabye in Rhodesia, have
satisfied themselves that native story
of the existence of a great building
with massive stone doors. never yet
opened, is true They have not been
able to visit it because they could not
store water enough for the journey,
but they believed it could easily be
visited, as tie natives are of the sub
.missive kind Lis hardly probable
that a building erected by adventurous
miners would be SO protected unless it
were a store house OF some kind,
whether of weapons or of treasure,
and we might find in it clear evidence
as to who the builders of the Zimbabye
works were. 1t is as yet only a guess,
though a guess with much probability,
that they were Phenieians. -Londop

81 had n bit writing frae some mer-
cifu' body in the town"
"Mr. Duncan, that's the most i'm
portant thing you've told me yeti Find
me That letter, il you can"
Philip walked the floor excitedly I'M
til Duncan came back with the missive
in question. II was written in type
writing on a blank letterhead, and It
was dated at Allacoochee.
Dear Sir: 1t is known that you are
friendly toward an old mountaineer named
I kilgrow, who is wanted by the United
States officers for a breach of the revenue
laws. 1t is rumored here that the officers
have Information of his whereabouts, and
lnaI III 1Ounu ne VIII DE arrested anu
brought to trial. 1t would seem, to one who
knows the circumstances. to be merely an
act of common humanity to warn the old
man. A FRIEND"
What do yc make out o. that, Mr..
Thorndyke?" asked Duncan, after
Philip had read and examined the let
ter.
"Just what | expected when you lnen-
toned it.. There's only one man or one
set of men who could be benefited by
getting Kilgrow out of the way. When
we trace this letter to its source well
find that either Sharpless or Fench die
tated it. It's the most important bit of
evidence Nv had, so far, because if I'm
right it proves that Sharpless and Fench
are not innocent. The next thing in
order is for me to have n talk with Kill
grow; you'll have to see him and smooth
the way for me-"
Duncan promised and babe his guest
goodnight; after watch Thorndyke
went to bed to dream of endless law
suits and interminable weddings, in
which Helen and Kilgrow, James Dun
can and Elsie, were COMPOUNDED in hope
less confusion. And for a grotesque
background, the scenes of his dreams
had for a stage setting the new city OF
Allacoochee, rising end spreading like
another flood until the waves of build,
ings surged up the valley and over the
mountain to tumble in n cascade OF
bricks and mortar into the quiet depths
of the Devils Pocket.

Electrified Rain In spain.

Maurice Despres, an electrical en-
gincer of Cordova, Spain, reports a re-
markable shower of electrified rain
which he recently witnessed. The day
had been warm and MINDLESS, and about
five in the evening the sun was over
rtst with dense clouds lowering to the
horizon. Soon after dark there was
a fash of lightning, and two minutes
later great drops of rain fell. which
cracked family on touching the ground.
From each of them sparks darted to-
ward the walls, trees and soil they
fell upon. The phenomenon lasted sev.
eral seconds, and apparently ceased
when the air between cloud and earth
became saturated with moisture.-N

THE POST
4 system which Has Proved to Be n
Great Success.


Some years ago some sensible man
suggested as a substitute for the post
traders stores at army posts a CO.
operative store, to be known as a post
Exchange. The profits of this store
were to be expended for the benefit
OF the enlisted men. The suggestion
was surprising because it was both
simple and praiseworthy. What was
more surprising vas its adoption by
the war department. The department
had been struggling with the post
leadership question, considering com
plants of commanding officers and the
petitions Of temperance advocates
against it. The new plan was not cal
culated to satisfy the advocates OF tenn
perance, but il pleased them in some
degree, because the removal of the
profit feature of the trade in beer killed
trade-soliciting and lessened the in
element to drink. The commanding
officers welcomed the plan, and the re-
suit of several years of fair trial has
justified their faith. The post exchange
is no longer the subject of complaint
and ill-feeling. The men can buy goods
there at a fair margin above cost, with
the assurance that even the profit will
be expended in their own interest
Reading rooms, card rooms, billiard
rooms n gymnasiums are fitted up
with the profits of the exchange and
these are for the equal use of all men.
SO successful has the system proved
that orders rave been issued by the
commandant of the marine corps 10
Capt. Cochrane. in charge of the ma
rinesa AT the naval training station, New
port, TO establish a post exchange there.
II at the end of six months the expert
ment proves successful there post ex-
changes will be established at Wash
ington and every other point where de-
taehments of the marine corps are sta
toned.
In creating the post exchange the
government has placed the soldier in
directly on the same plane as the officer
of the army. An officer can buy general
supplies for his home at army ware
houses in any of the principal cities
and can get them there at wholesale
pIices.-Leslie's Weekly.
