Workers in the wide, unexplored field of
modern chemistry are daily astounding the
world with new wonders. Professor and
layman vie with each other in their COM
mendable efforts TO lessen the ills of human
ity Yesterday it was Pasteur and Koch,
and today it is Slocum, with new discovery
which is the result of years OF careful study
and research.
Foremost among the worlds greatest
chemists stands T. A. Slocum, of New York
City. His researches and experiments,
patiently carried on for years, have finally
eliminated in results which are proving as
beneficial to humanity as the discoveries of
any chemist, ancient or modern. His efforts
which for years had been directed toward the
discovery OF a positive cure for consumption
were finally successful and already his NEW
scientific system of medicine" has, by its
timely use, permanently cured thousands of
apparently hopeless cases. and 1t seems a
necessary and humane duty to bring such
facts to the attention of all invalids.
The medical profession throughout Amer
ic and Europe are almost unanimous in the
opinion that nearly all physical ailments
naturally tend to the generation of consump-
ton. The afflicted die in the short, cold
days of winter much faster than the long,
hot days of summer.
The Doctor has proved the dreaded disease
to be durable beyond doubt, in any eli
mate, and has on file i'm his American and
European laboratories thousands of letters
of heartfelt gratitude from those benefited
or cured in all parts of the world.

When savage people first come in con.

hers that they see is regarded with more
suspicion than large sheets of paper
The native is apt to regard paper as q
sort of cloth, and the fact thao it tears
easily and is worthless for most % the
purposes to which cloth is put convinces
him that it is a fraud.
One or two Kongo travellers told Of
the disgust with which the natives at
first regarded paper. The Kongo tribes,
by the way, are on the lockout for
sharpers, and it is exceedingly hard
work for anybody to sell them bad
quality of cutlery or cloth. Savages

Then they cease to look upon it as q
fraud, but they do not think it ranks
high among white man manufactures,
and they have little use for it.
Some time ago we'll known explorer
was travelling in the interior of Queens
land, Australia, where he met many
natives who had never seen a white man
before
One day crowd of natives was in
the white man s camp carefully inspect
ing the explorer and his baggage when
newspaper happened to drop out of
his pocket.
The natives unfolded and spread il
out on the ground They decided that it
must be an article of wearing apparel,
and one of them tried it on. He wrap
ped it round his shoulders like shaw
and sat down on the ground, arranging
his covering this way and that anC

Presently, however an accident hap
pened. While the savage was rearrang

corners together in front of him the gar
ment began to tear at the nape of hi
neck A howl from the crowd called a,
tention TO the disaster. The blanket, c

The savage took his covering off, e,

A question that has often been asked
is, How long does fright last in wild
creature? The close observer will be
surprised at its brief duration. They
are not subject to nerves like human
beings. A partridge after running Tor
rather flying the gantlet of half dozen
guns-if we may be allowed a mixed
metaphor--drops on the other side of q
hedge and begins calmly to peck as if
nothing had happened. You would
think II rabbit after hearing a charge of
shot whistling about its launches and
just managing to escape from yelp-
ing spaniel would keep indoors for a
week, but out it pops quite merrily as
soon as the coast is clear. A fox pur-
sued by hounds has been known to halt
and kill fowl in its fight, though we
may assume that his enemies were not

German preference for certain kinds OF
meats. Berlin consumes 100000 hogs
annually, Paris only 100000. Parisiaus

But now know II hut wait

Though vice may don the judges crown

And nature ruled by art,
Though labor tolls through binding tears
And idle wealth is might

These facts are very important for

he opens it for use, after all his labor

such a climate, and under the trying

difficult and expensive routes an arti-

that will be found when required

ence. Mr.. McQuesten, who is called
1.-The father of Alaska" after an ex'
perience of years upon the trail, in the
camp, and in the use of every kind Of
supply, says: 1--WE find in Alaska
that the Importance of proper kind
of baking powder cannot be overesti
mated. A miner with a can Of baC
baking powder is almost helpless IL
Alaska. We have tried all sorts, ant
have been obliged to settle down to use
nothing but the Royal. 1t is stronger
and carries further, but above al
things, it is the only powder that will
endure the severe climatic changes o

It Is for the same reasons that thu
U. S. Government in it's relief expedi
tions. and Peary, the famous arcti
traveller, have carried the Royal Bak
ing Powder exclusively.
The Royal Baking Powder will no
cake nor lose its strength either OF

is indispensable to every Alaskan out

procure his supplies before leaving, b

filter to palm off upon him any of tn
other brands of baking powder, fo
they will spoil and prove the cause q

PLANS WE'RE CHANGED.
Reason For the Delay in Rebuilding
CHRIST Chnrch.

Reason For the Delay in Rebuilding
Christ Church.
Some delay has arisen in the repairing
Of Christ church, at Bull and Congress
streets, which was partially destroyed by
fire last May.
The building committee was to have held
a session last night for the purpose of
opening and passing upon bids which had
been filed for the construction of the roof
Of the church, which was altogether de-
stroyed. But the committee did not meet.
II IS understood, on account of the stormy
conditions.
1t is said that the work of rebuilding
that part of the church which was de-
stroyed, was delayed by reason of de-
cision of the building committee to con-
struct wooden roof, in place of an iron
one. This change from the original plans
was necessitated when it was learned that
the cost of the iron roof would exceed the
appropriation. Upon learning that this
change had 10 be made, the work of the
architect had to be repeated and plans
prepared for d wooden roof.
The damage TO the interior consist Of
the entire destruction Of the chancel and
It's furniture, the walls and many of the
pews, to some extent. The organ was also
destroyed.
Speaking of the matter of rebuilding.
to a Morning News reporter, Mr. John NJ
Bryan, member of the building commit
tee, said:
The Brown company of Wilmington.
Del, have already built an organ for US,
which has 1889 pipes. It will be a mag
nificent one better than the one which
was destroyed. Just when the church will
be completed, ! cannot say, other than
that the building committee is at work
ana will push the work as rapidly as pos
sible"
At present the members of the congrega-
ton are greatly Inconvenience by having
to worship away from their own church.
An early rebuilding, they say, would be
a source Of much satisfaction.
