Formation of Gold Nuggets.

Concerning the theory that gold
nuggets are formed by the depesitina
of the gold around nucleus from So
luton, Professor A. Liversidge, the
gold expert OF New South Wales, Aus
tralia, has made Investigations which
he thinks disprove it. By slicing the
nugget and examining the cross-see-
lions obtained he found no traces oil
concentric coatings, but that the gold
was always more or less crystallized
the crystals being in some cases very
large and with well-defined bound
aries. Some of the nuggets also showed
cavities and Enclosures of quartz, al.
though in many cases none were Wis

Pink Pills for Pale People, andI decided to
try them.
Emma had no faith in proprietary
medicines but tried the pills, and after
taking a dozen doses, she began to improve.
1t was about the first of April when she
began, and by the middle of May, after
taking about eight boxes, she was entirely
cured"
while i'll, she lost twenty pounds,
but now weighs more than ever before
Her nerves are strong and she is in per-
feet health. We are all confident that DR..
Williams Pink Pills for Pale People cured
her, and cheerfully recommend them in
all similar cases. MRS. Z. A RYBoLT."
Subscribed and sworn to before me, this

FEAST OF THE DOLLS.
one of the Many Odd Customs In Odd
Little Japan.

Little Japan.
In that land of feasts and festivals
-Japan-the most popular one with
the children is the feast of dolls, which
takes place in the month of February.
1t perhaps answers to our st. Valen-
tines festivities.
+ The fun lasts for three days, and II
little Miss Japan's father and mother,
and grandfather and grandmother, have
laid up in store for this occasion, dolls
by the hundreds are brought forth to
celebrate the feast, and many of the
dolls are years and years old--hun-
f,reds of years even, for every old doll
that enters Japanese home Is treasur-
ed and kept for this great day.
The best room in the house is chosen.
Here shelves covered with rich silken
hangings, gay in colors, are arranged,
perhaps five or six shelves, extending
the length of one side of the room.
The principal dolls are the emperor
and empress of Japan, or two dolls
dressed to represent these august per-
sonages in their court attire. Every
thing centers about them; dolls to
represent maids of honor, courtiers and
statesmen, each in appropriate dress,
are ranged next in order.
Everything which their imperial mai
estes can possibly need in the way
of household furniture is represented
in miniature; silver cups, bowls and
rice buckets, on lacquered trays, are
placed before the emperor and empress,
and each day the little child for whom
this festival is prepared fills the dishes
with the different kinds of food used
in Japanese household-rice, fruits,
nuts and cake, or sweet wine.
Besides the table service, everything
which an imperial doll can be expected
to need is seen-lacquered palanquins,
funny, hood-shaped bullock carts, fire
boxes, charcoal baskets and tongs. Nor
is the toilet table and it's accessories
forgotten-there are combs, brushes,
mirrors, utensils, for blackening the
teeth, for reddening the lips and whit
ening the face.
At the end Of the feast the dolls are
packed away for another year, except
two or three, which are left out for
daily use.

a SCHOOL GIRLS BATTLE.
From The Mail, Milford, Ind

Miss Emma bolt, a prepossessing school
girl of Milford, Ind, is of more than usual
intelligence, and is ambitious to rise in the
literary world.
In the fall of 1885," said Mrs. Rybolt,
"Emma was taken ILL., She wes close
student and her work began to tell on her.
She grew weak, pale and nervous, and COM
planned of pains in her back chest and
limbs. A few weeks passed and she grew
worse. The doctor said she was victim of
nervous prostration, and should have been
taken from school weeks earlier She
gradually grew worse, her nerves were SO
tense that the least noise irritated her, and
she had fever and a continual twitching
in her muscles. The symptoms were much
like St Vitus' dance

for whom it was built The building
was situated at Newington Butts, near
the Elephant and Castle, on the Sur
rey side of the River Thamas. 1t was
opened in 1851 and grew steadily under
the influence of Mr.. Sturgeon and his
brother, Rev. Thomas Spurgeon, who
replaced the famous preacher after the
latter's death in 1892
The tabernacle was upward of 140
feet long,, 80 feet wide and 60 feet
high, and was approached at the east
ern end by fight of steps which ex-
tended across the entire width of the
building. The principal entrance was
ornamented with six lofty Corinthian
columns. In the audience hall proper
was room for 5000 persons. There was
also lecture hall with a capacity of
900, schoolroom for 1000 children,
six classrooms and other spaces for re-
ligious work. Besides all these it had
thirty mission halls and schools and
several almshouses.
This remarkable group of religious
utilities grew up around the PERSONAL
ity Of Sturgeon, who was one of the
most remarkable men of this latter end
OF the century. Sturgeon preached his
first London sermon in New Park
Street Chapel, Southwark, in December,
1853. He was then only 10 years old,
and his fame had spread all over the

Mr.. Morley Of this city has one OF

these instruments are well made and
out of the best material. Mrs. Hart
son has large consignment OF these
high-grade organs which she sells very
low, either on time or for cash. Call
on her and inspect them. She also
has a consignment of the celebrated
Merrifield pianos. These instruments
are second to none. They are manu-
featured by the celebrated Western
Cottage company, and the same con-
scientious care in the selection of ma
terial, and in the manufacture, is
shown in these superb pianos that the
company have always shown in the
construction of their celebrated organ

Lower Than Montgomery, Ward Co.

We believe that we state facts when
we say that harness is sold cheaper in
Ritzville than anywhere else in the
west, and it is only the fact that our
dealers are selling such an enormous
amount of harness that they are en-
abled to sell on such small margins.
We dropped into the store of w. r.
Peters the other day and about the
first thing we noticed on the counter
was Montgomery, Ward Cos. 1898
catalogue. On our suggestion that
such books were bad thing to have
in sight of customers, the obliging
proprietor took the trouble to quote us
his prices on several articles, and rof-
erence to said catalogue showed that
his prices are actually lower than Chi
cago prices with freight added. This
can only be accounted for by the fact
that he buys his stock in large lots
and sells goods in such unprecedented
quantities that Ritzville prices are
possible.
