Nature Likes Them Not and Invari-
 ably Brushes the Breed.
 Through all time men of genius have scoffed at and have ridiculed the at tempts of purse proud old "richesse" to create superior orders of manhood. Nor is this matter for wonder. They were and are ridiculous. Yet these at- tempts are repeated every hour. Con- sidering them one would suppose that wealth, titles, dignities, are talismans which insure virtue and honor and per- sonal worth and beauty in those to whom they descend Talismans are ridiculous, and so are titles.
 Nobility is of blood and not of gar ters, royal sponsors and christening robes Pedigrees, portraits and family history when truthful tell us great deal about the nobility of a race. Titles, quarterings and patents are worthless. and the production of a great genius is in general as bad sign as the produo- tion of a great profigate. Races that produce geniuses should be avoided. The best is the second best-the normal.
 Genius, as some one (Victor Hugo, think has finely said, is a promontory stretching out into the ocean of the in- finite Look for the descendants o1 Shakespeare, Bacon, Macaulay, Vel. lington, Nelson, Gibbon, Swift, Vol. taire, Carlyle, Bonaparte, Goldsmith, Spencer, Milton, Crom we'll, Disraeli- to take @ few names at random-and you will find that they are not, for the genius is always transgressor o1 the normal-a "sport.

illuminated Buoys.

Another form of beacon for mariners of smaller dimensions, but hardly less important, is the illuminated buoy These floating lamp holders, placed in an estuary where the available channel is often only narrow one, bounded by mud or sand banks only few feet below the surface of the water, are invaluable to shipping, Hitherto the illuminant chiefly employed has been compressed gas, pecessi tating a high pressure reser- voir and compressing machinery.
 MT. Wigham, whose name has long been known in connection with light house apparatus, has introduced a min eral oil lamp which can be fitted to any existing buoy and will burn for a long period at very small cost. The maintenance of one form of lamp can be kept up at a cost of one penny for 24 hours and as no compressing machinery is required this is the only expense plus the original cost of the lamp. The approach to port-such as that of Liv- erpool, for instance, where a ship has to enter through long avenue of buoys could by this invention be almost as we'll lighted as a city street.-Cham bers' Journal.

NOT AFRAID Of. MAN.
Remarkable Tameness of Animals I'm
 the Yellowstone Park.

the Yellowstone Park.
 The daughter of birds has almost en- tirely xemov ed one of the delightful ao- componi ments of life in the rural east the music of the feathered songsters. Apropos of this, it may be said that one of the most pleasant features of the drive through the Yellowstone National park is the apparent intimacy between man and the animal and bird life in the park. Thanks to the wise and stringent regulations, no shooting is allowed with in it's boundaries.
 'The result, says an English tour ist, "is positively charming. Hundreds of little ohipmunks, with their gaudy striped backs, soampered impudently about or peered at the passing coach from the roadside The squirrel did not bolt for the nearest tree, but nodded Q welcome. All bird life treated us like wise, Even the lordly eagle hovered near, and the wild turkey stalked un- conoernediy through the rank grass. We were fortunate enough to see a fine specimen of the wolf tribe. He stood, a beautiful creature, and watched us out of sight, showing only curiosity, not AooA. t1WO W0EO poIOO1NOu O uOo and fawn grazing by the road. Not un- til we were within a few feet did they seek the shelter of the woods, yet not to fly. They simply moved aside. Here at least mankind was regarded as 8 friend-one who could be trusted. The only animal who ran away was a brown bear. He turned tail at the sight of a coaching party, yet it was quite com mon thing for bears to approach close to the hotels at evening to feed on the refuse thrown out. It was an after din ner relaxation for the guests to watch them feeding, They munched and dis puted the choicest morsels, for the most part indifferent to the company Only when we became inquisitive and ap- preached too near did they retire. and these animals were perfectly free and unfettered in their movements. It may read like a fairy tale. but it is solid fact. "-Troy Times

How Snake Poison Kills,

The action of poisons upon the system is and always has been one of the most interesting of subjects. Just how and why it kills has been determined through a series of experiments made by scien- lists. The following description is un- occasionally the best and most lucid of any that has been given to the public: ''The venom may be roughly separated into two parts-one acting. upon the blood, and the other upon the nerves. When injected, it immediately begins
 to create terrible destruction in the blood vessels. the walls of the veins are eaten away and an internal hemorrhage takes place. While this is going on portion of the venom is attacking the nerves. Particularly susceptible to its rayages is the 'vasomotor' system, Q nerve center which controls the muscles of respiration. Paralysis takes place in these organs, and the victim generally dies from an inability to breathe. - New York Ledger.

A Hopeless Case.

A Scottish paper tells a story of an old Scottish woman who was ''unco' drouthie," without the money to buy "a drappie. "Lassie, y she said to her little granddaughter, "gang round to Donald McCallum and bring me gill. Tell him I'll pay him f the morning" |"
 Back came the child with a refusal. Donald declined to part with his whisky without the cash. Eager and irritated, the old woman cast about for some means of "raising the wind" and her eye fell upon the family Bible. Here, lassie, she said, "gie him this and tell him to keepit until bring him the siller." Of went the little girl, but she soon returned, still carrying the Bible. Donald was obdurate.

A Warm EnGIaud,

The extremes of outdoor temperature in England vary more than l23 degrees. The greatest heat probably on record was registered in the valley of the Medway on July 22, 1868, when the thermometer at Tonbridge stood in the shade at 1OO1a degrees F. Eleven years later, in December, 1879, 55 degrees of frost were recorded at Blaokadder, in Berwickshire-i. G., 23 degrees below zero F. More remarka ble, however, than the heat in summer were the hot winters of 174S and 1857 and the warm Januarys of 1877. 1884 and ls9S.- Notes and Queries.

They had heen cboppfng wood on the north side. aud ny crossing the pond would be saved long walk in re- turning home. The Doyles took seats on hand-sled and were pushed by White, who was on skates. They got a good start on their perilous trip, and for about for yards all went well. While under full headway they discovered hole in the ice, and, before halt could be se- cured, dashed into it. Philip Doyle, who was sitting in front, sprang forward and reached the edge of the ice beyond; the others took g cold bath. Philip made great exertions to rescue his companions, and caught Henry by the hair of the head, George having disappeared under water Upon hauling in his brother he was most agreeably surprised to find White clinging to Henry's boot. The trio were saved, but three axes and one boot went to the bottom.

Tso Point d onestLons Answered.


 What Is the use of making a better ar ticle than your competitor If you can not get q better price for 1t
 Ans.--As there is no difference in the price',th public will buy only the better, so that while our profits may be smaller on a single sale they will be much greater in the aggregate.
 How can you get the public to know your make Is the best?
 lf both articles are brought prominent ly before the public both are certain to be tried. and the public will very quick ly pass judgment on them and use only the better one. This explains the large sale on Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. The people have been using 1t for years and have found that it can always be d. pend ed upon. They may occasionally take up with some fashionable novelty put forth with exaggerated claims, but are certain to return to the one remedy that they know to be reliable. and for coughs, colds and croup theie is nothing equal to Cham. berlain's Cough Remedy.

AT TIMES IT IS MORSE.

Anyone who is obliged to take cod liver oil will find certain days when it is impossible to swallow the greasy, vile-tasting mixture. Es- pecially in warm weather, or on @ mild day, does cod liver oil become doubly obnoxious. Because Vinol contains none of the unneces- sary grease or fat, but does contain the active curative principles of the cod's liver, it is bound to reyolutionize the science of medicine.
 MT. Harris Caldwell, chemist of Ames- bury, Mass, writes in this connection:
 "Vinol is of particular advantage in warm weather, or on mild days, when sufferers of wasting diseases particularly need their medi- cine. At such times our heretofore best known remedy for such diseases, cod liver oil, had to be abandoned. Now no interruptions is ex- perienced, for with Vinol, without the grease, a patient can take his medicine in all weather, and thus doubly insure himself of @ cure."
 We have found that many people with tend dencies to wasting diseases took Vinol all last summer. The consequences is that they im- proved in 6 manner that would not have been possible with cod liver oil in its old form. Yours very truly,
 "A. c. EATON,
 Special vinol representative.
