Dun s. Co. on Prosperity.

'There is no hating in the advance
says Dun & Co.'S weekly business re-
view. Business grows better in all
ways, Efor while its speculative end
breaks conspicuous gamblers for a de-
cline, steady increase in production.
in working force and in the power of the
people to purchase is the feature which
overshadows all others. Reports of New
York trade unions show an increase
since one year ago of 81 per cent. in the
number of men at work, and similar
increase among men in like positions
throughout the country would exceed
establishments to the active list"

1 The
Cruel Knife!

The alarming increase in the number
of deaths which occur as the result of a
surgical operation is attracting general
attention, and a strong sentiment
against such methods of treatment is
fast developing among the most intelli-
gent classes. It seems that in almost
every case for which the doctors treat
ment IS unsuccessful, the learned physi-
clans decide at once that an operation
must be. performed, and the keen blade
of the Surgeon is recklessly resorted to-.
Doctors are human, and of course are
liable to make mistakes, but their mis-
takes are too fatal to be INDUCED in
promiscuously, and as so many lives are
sacrificed in this manner, it is but natural
for the public to believe that half the
operations are unnecessary, besides be-
ing fearful risk TO human life, even if
successful.
1t is q positive fact, however, that all
operations are not necessary, and that a
majority of them are absolutely under
taken without the slightest chance of
success. The doctors have never been
able tocure blood disease, and a sur
gical OPERATION is their only method of
treating deep-seated cases, such as can
Ger ami scrofulous affections. Aside
from the great danger, an operation
never did and never will cure cancer, as
the disease never fails to return. Cam
Ger is In the blood, and common sense
teaches anyone that no disease can be
cut from the blood.

Here is case where the pam inf cted
on a six-year-old boy was especially
cruel, and after undergoing the fortunes
produced by the surgeons knife he rap
idly grew worse. Mr.. J. N. Murdoch,
the father of the boy, residing at 27o
Snodgrass street, Dallas, Texas, writes ::
"When my son, Will, was six years
old, small sore appeared on his, lip,
which did not yield to the usual treat
ment, but before long began to grow. 1t
gave him great deal of pain, and con-
tinued to spread. He was treated by
several good doctors, who said he had
cancer, and advised that an operation
was necessary.
"After much reluctance, wecOnsented,
and they cut down to the jaw bone,
which they scraped. The operation was
only hope for my boy. Before great
while the cancer returned, and began to
grow rapidly. We gave him many rem
edies without relief, and finally upon the
advice of friend, decided to try SIS.
(Swift's Specifc), and with the second
bottle he began to improve. After twenty
bottles had been taken, the cancer dis
appeared entirely and he was cured.
| The cure was a permanent one, for he IS
now seventeen years old, and has never
| had sign of the dreadful disease to re-
turn"
SIS. is far ahead of all other blood
remedies, because it is the only one
which cures deep-seated obstinate blood
diseases such as Cancer, Scrofula,
Eczema, Catarrh, Rheumatism, etc.
| 1t is the only blood remedy guaranteed

PICTURE WRITING.
Three Miles Of Bluff in Oregon Gov
cred with Hieroglyphics.
Indian Tradition Says They Were Made
Ages Ago by a "very Bad People"
Opportunity for Interesting
Archaeological Study.

W. B. Whittemore, while in Alturas,
Ore, recently, told the Plain Dealer of
some remarkable hieroglyphics or pic
ture writing discovered about Is miles
northeast from the north end of War
ner valley, on the edge of what is local
ly known as the "desert," in Lake coun-
ty. Mr.. Whittemore is one of the Off
GERS and principal owners of the War
ner Valley Stock company and is thor
oughly conversant with the locality.
He says the hieroglyphics have been
cut with some sharp instrument in the
surface of the hard basatic rock and
are perfectly plain to be seen. They
cover the face of the bluff for a dis
lance of about three miles and consist
ofpicturesof Indians with bows, arrows
and spears, besides deer, antelope, dogs
and wolves, geese, ducks, swan and rep
tiles of various kinds. Intermingled
with these animals are characters,
which, of course, he could not decipher.
Mr.. Whittemore says the execution of
the pictures is very good and he is salts
fed it could not have been the work of
ordinary Indians. Throughout the en-
tire distance the characters and pic
ures are in rows.
The Indians in the vicinity have no
knowledge of the meaning of the
hieroglyphics or of the people who ages
ago chiseled them on the surface of the
rocks. One old Indian said there was a
tradition among his people that many
ages ago a people came there who were
very bad. They remained for a long
time and went away-where, he knew
not.
Now the question arises: Who were
these strange, bad people? They were
not, as Mr.. Whittemore says, ordinary
Indians, for their knowledge of sculp-
ture could never have enabled them to
execute the pictures so remarkably true
to nature. From the description given
the picture writing bears close re
semblance to those found in Mexico and
Central America. If this supposition is
true a careful study might reveal to
the archaeologist some insight into the
origin or wanderings of dead and for
gotten civilization

MINIATURE wATERSPoUT.
Experiment Which Any Boy Can Try with
Apparatus Made by Himself.

We often hear of the natural phenom-
enon of the waterspout-that great
column of water ascending from the
ocean to the clouds in seeming defiance
of the law of grayitation. For the bene-
fit of those who would ike to have a
waterspout of their own this article will
show how one may be made artifcially,
in miniature, by means of q very neat
and interesting experiment.
First, however, it will be we'll for the
experimental to consider the necessary
conditions of the original. He must
have water heated to a degree that will
just allow vapor to arise, and he must
provide some mechanical means to pro-
duce that gyratory motion of the air
which will whip the ascending vapor
into shape.
First secure strong oblong box open
at the top; this should be fastened firm
" to table. This box should be about
three feet in height and two feet square
at the bottom, with one of it's sides of
glass, so as to give view of the expert
ment; and the whole must be perfectly
water tight. Over the top construct a
sort of bridge or frame of wood about
one inch thick and four inches in width,
connecting the two opposite sides of
the box three or four inches above the
level of the top. Then, directly in the
center of your frame and beneath it,
fix small paddle wheel with four
fanges about four inches long; bring
the axle up through the frame, and at
tach it to the other end of q very small
grooved wheel.
You must then provide a highly
geared motive power in the shape of a
