Electric Bittcrs

Electric Bitters is medicine suited for any season, but perhaps more gen erally needed in the spring, when the langnid exhausted feeling prevails, when the liver is torpid and sluggish and the need of tonic and alterative is felt. A prompt use of this medicine has often averted long and perhaps fatal bilious levers. No medicine will act more surely in counteracting and freeing the system from the malarial poison. Headache, Indigestion, Con- stipation, Dizziness yield to Electric Bitters. Only soc per bottle at J. E. Harbert's drugstore.

Good Railroad Year.

Gen. James Longstreet, the commis- sioner of railroads, in his annual report, calls attention to the general prosperi- ty in railroad affairs, and recommends the government construction and oper- ation of a.first class double track rail way from Kansas City, Mo-. to San Diego, Cal, by air line route. He says the financial condition of our railroads generally is better than ever before. He points to the spectacle of roads, which only two or three years ago were in the receivers hands, now paying dividends on their preferred stocks and piling up surpluses, which in the course of a very short time, his report says, will be distributed among the common share holders. Many roads, which in 1893 were forced to cut sala ries 20 per cent, he says, have volun. tarially restored the old basis of wages. In April, 1894, receivers controlled in this country 2l0 roads, embracing about 20 per cent of the total mileage of the United States. On June 30 of this year there were only ll9 railroads in the hands of the receivers, and Gen. Longstreet predicts that under the present condition of prosperity within another year the list of insolvent rail- roads will be as small as in the years immediately proceeding 1893.

FOOTPRINTS IN THE STONE.

Discovery in a Los Angeles Park of
 Great Interest to Archaeologists.
 Scientificall ly-inclined persons Tn southern California are pondering deeply over th discovery, in Elysian park here. of aa'nstnct imprint in solid stone of shoe worn by human being. says the Los Angeles Herald. This dis covery is certain to excite no little com ment, for there appears to be no authen- tic record of a fossilized footprint of a human being of ordinary size having been found heretofore. The peculiar feature of this find is that the owner of the foot wore a shoe of antique MeXi can fashion. with high. narrow heel and broad. fiat sole. The imprint IS perfectly clear and looks as though the owner had unwittingly put his right foot into soft mud but day or two ago ard left his mark, to be dried by the sun and preserved for future gen erationS.
 The fossil imprint was discovered by laborers who were making deep cut for the new wagon road northwest of the park. It was cut out of solid rock. four feet or thereabouts below the sur face soil and from point on the hili- side at least 70 feet above the bottom of the little canyon at the hill's base. The stone is fine grained shale, i'm pregnated with lime. An interesting fact in connection with the find is this: Several other excenenhy preserved and clearly defined organic remains. such as ferns. leaves and twigs, have been found in the some deposit, and, stranger still. but a few days ago the complete outline of a fish was taken from the same stratum Of stone not many feet distant from this last find. The dsh's remains were 20 feet below the surface.

MEN BURN SPONTANEOUSLY

Medical Science Records Instances of ths
 Combustion of Flesh From Within.
 When Dickens used so effectively the spontaneous combustion of the human body as Q climax for a novel, he had back of him great deal of evidence that such miracle had actually taken place.
 In an article on The Pathology Of Man, in tho old French Encyclopedia Methodique, ' D Ayr gives the case of a woman 30 years of age who had made D practice of going to bed drunk every day for many years Her bones were finally found i'll the bed with the flesh charred from them, as scientists sup posed by spontaneous combustion.
 Tho somewhat similar ease of Graoo Pitt is given in the transactions of the English Royal society. She was the wife of fishmoBger who lived at Ips. wtch, and she was found stretched on the kitchen floor by her daughter, burn ing, the girl said, without flames Her body and legs resembled snoldering eoals and when water was thrown on her gave forth the odor of scorched flesh, accompanied by suffocating smoke. The girl ran from the house and called in the neighbors, wbo found nothing but bones and oharred flesh left of the woman She, too had been D hard thinker

end of it, and bis egg stood up. Just think of 1t, Harold-on clean table cloth, and likely as not the egg was soft boiled We'll, Cousin Edith said that as time went on and people progressed ill the arts and sciences they learned more about eggs than their aunt's sisters knew.
 Ancestors" said Harold inquiringly.
 "Aunt's sisters, 's retorted the little girl quickly, "and that we could man. age the egg trick much better nowadays. She stood one of her eggs up on its lit tie end and didn't break it either. Then she made it lean over, and it stayed that way and didn't t roll down. She took another egg, balanced it on it's end and put the first egg on top, and they both stood up, one on top of the other. Aft erward she built up the goblets the queerest way, and balanced the egg on them and on the edge of the mouth of the decanter of milk, and it stayed there, leaning over, but never fell, and -oh, she did all sorts of things like that.
 There is no trick of such simplicity so easily performed that is as effective in puzzling, interesting and amusing a party of children as the antics of the eccentric eggs, which Alice was at tempting to describe.
 The eggs to be used must bo blown Make small perforations in the egg at either end, and, holding it oyer q cup or some other receptacle, apply your lips quickly to one ef the h9les, and with your breath force tue contents out of the other. Stop pp cne of the perfora- tions with white wax end drop into the other tho smallest shot you can procure, until the weighted e&d makes the egg stand securely in any position ill which it may be placed, then stop up with your wax the other aperture, and your trick egg is complete.
 If shot is not to be procured, common sand will answer. As 1t k much lighter tan the leaden shot, however, it will require more of 1t to accomplish the purpose.
 The eggs are brought upon tho table along with others and are seemingly se- leoted at random by the performer.
 The accompanying diagrams will sug- gest different positions in which the eggs may be placed and these may be varied according to the fancy of the per former. Atlanta Constitution.

Indoor Photography.

To make good portrait in the ordi- nary room is quite a difficult task, as all the light to be had comes through the window and leaves the shadow side of the portrait rnderexposed. This can somewhat be remedied by the use of Il piece of white muslin about 12 feet long and about 3 feet wide or more.
 Stretch 8 string across the room par allel with the window and fasten 1t to point about six feet from the window, ana also six feet from the floor Fasten the muslin over the top of the window and throw the other end over the string, allowing it to fall to the floor This forms a sort of one-half side of a tent, and this somewhat confines the light and re- fleets it on the shadow side of your ob- ject and helps to brighte4 and soften the light. In uging curtains for a back ground place them back of the sitter as far as the wall will allow, so as to pro duce soft effect. Place the sitter about three feet from the window and about opposite the far side of the easement. Pull the window down from the top, and perhcps it would be best to cover up tho lower part of the window with some dark cloth or paper. Close all doors so as not to have any draft, and then make tl:6 exposure. .-J. A. Boos i'll New York Mail and Express.

FOR LITTLE FOLKS.
coMIeAL EGGS.

Simple Tricks That Can Be Easily Per
 formed Though They Look Difficult.
 q It is really very strange, " said liar old, how long person may look at a thing without seeing it. If you'v been looking at that ostrich egg on the book shelf for minute, you've been looking a good quarter of an hour, Alice, and yet l don't believe you know what you were looking at. A penny for your thoughts, Alice!p
 "Oh, they're not worth it, Haroldi' replied the little fair haired girl who lay curled up in the big library arm chair T was only thinking what queer old things eggs are sometimes.
 ' \ cry queer indeed, especially if they re old, assented Harold gravely.
 At that birthday party Cousin Eva gave last Wednesday--you couldn't go you know, because your arm had been hurt playing football-there were some of the queerest acting eggs you ever saw. You should have seen how they be- haved, said Alice.
 But l never saw eggs act at all, y cried Harold. You really surprise me, Alice. Of all the tranquil, harmless, inoffensive quiet sort of living crea- lures ever came across, eggs break the record. D
 "But these weren't living; they were boiled, ;" said Alice. "I don t think that explains matters !" began Harold, but Alice went OH unmindful of the inter ruption. When we had our boiled eggs, Cousin Edith took two of them, and then she told us the story about Columbus and his egg. Columbus said he could discover America, you know, and they said he couldn't and that you might as well try to make an egg stand up on end. Columbus said that was nothing; he could do it, and he smashed his egg right down so it broke in the

THE MAYORS PLEDGES.

The News says that Mayor Clark has
never broken a single ante-eleetion
pledge, and for the reason that he never
made any. Very few men who run for
office ever make any direct pledges,
they would be very foolish to do so.
and if Mayor Clark made no ante-elec-
ton pledges he followed a common
rule; that is all. But it was generally
understood by the people that certain
pledges were made by the non-parti-
san committee and that their mayor
atty candidate was bound by them. The
News says:
He had never, either expressly or by
implication, promised that he would or
which is equally important to be con-
sidered just now-that he would not
appoint any particular man. He was
at perfect liberty TO select appointees
from among the prominent men of Re
publican, Democratic or non-partisan
political belief, and as a matter of fact
has made selections from all three per-
suasions. Even the fact that a man
was member of the nOn-partisan COM
mittee has never been a reason why the
mayor could not select him for Office
without violating a pledge.
But a pledge was made in connection
with the non-partisan movement. Who
made that pledge and what was it?
The non-partisan committee made it by
resolution; the candidates selected by
the committee, and especially the may
or, were never parties to it in the
remotest sense nor degree. The pledge
was to the effect that no member of the
committee would seek to influence the
mayor in his selections of candidates
for office, but would leave him entirely
free and untrammeled to choose for
himself, without pressure from them.
1t seems, then, that this pledge was
all for display, all for deception; the
committee that passed the resolution
was bound by it. but not the commit
tees nominee; it was right enough for
him to get the benefit of the impression
that he was bound by it, and now it
seems it is right for him to cast the
pledge aside.
1t is stated that the pledge was to
the effect that no member Of the COM
mittee would seek to influence the
mayor in his selections of candidates
for office. The inference from that is
that the mayor would not permit him
self to be influenced by any member
of the committee in the selection Of
candidates for Office. How viii the
mayor and some Of the members of the /
have obeyed the letter an!
spirit of the resolution What would
be said Of mayor who was not a
non-partisan" whose acts had to be
and justified by such sophis-
try as Mayor Clark's apologists use?
The News article makes it palmer !
than ever that the purpose of the non |
partisan platform and all the pledges |
made in pursuance of it, was to get in
Oh and not to stand on.
