Tho Fulincss Thereof.

Amid the discomforts of life and the
fullness therof, reaching to every
family. there is that which can SO
easily mitigate or entirely cure, the
wonder is why we endure and suffer
SO much. From big pains to little
aches, which are the wear and tear
OF the physical structure of man, there
are always remedies good, better and
best. The choice should be always for
best as the surest and the cheapest. In
chronic or acute suffering with rheu-
matism, neuralgia. sc!atica or lum-
bago. or with the minor ailments OF
sprains and bruises, or of soreness and
stiffness. the efficacy of St. Jacobs Oil
and the fullness thereof In SO many
complete and perfect cures make 1t
stand out as the best remedy for pain.
Why, then, should We stand on the
order OF going for It. and not go at
once? In numberless cases the aggra-
vations Of discomforts and pains are
from delay. Why should we suffer?

AAVAh oE Asolts
The sciepce of navigation has failed
to develop any cOntrivance to over
come the perils of n fog ut sea. Steam
ers blow their whistles at intervals as
n warming to each other. On the coasts
they have fog horns planted at high
places and whistling buoys and tolling
bells fl0ating on the surface of the
water. Sailing ships use heavy bells
that can.be heard afar on, and advise
the masters of other ships of the neces-
sity OF caution, but the great difficult
" that always has been found and
still exists is to locate the source of n
fog signal. There is something decep-
tive In sound that has passed through
n thick atmosphere. The vibrations
may be carried n long distance, hut the
ear Is apt to be deceived. They seem
to come from different directions. The
captain of a ship In fog will stand
with his mate upon the bridge with his
hand to his ear trying to locate n sig
nal from another vessel, and nine
times out of ten the two will Disagree
as to the direction from which 1t came.
The mate will insist that 1t is Off the
port quarter and the captain will be
sure that 1t comes from straight ahead,
while the quartermaster down In the
wheel house, when his opinion is ask
ed. Will point another way.
1 lay for twenty-four hours once In
Tampa bay within plain hearing of n
whistllng buoy which marked the
channel and groaned like the cry of n
lost soul, but the captain dared not
turn his wheel all that time and lay at
anchor for night and a day until the
fog lifted, because he could not locate
the source of the sound. Sometimes II
was straight ahead, sometimes II was
behind him, and then again it would
be on either side. He even sent out
boats TO. scout the waters and locate 1t,
but they Were unsuccessful in their
search and found great difficulty in
getting back to the vessel
For two or three years microphones
were used on some of the ocean steam
ers, and l believe they still have them
on several mcn-of-war, but the skippers
say that they are useless and confus-
ing. AT the last international marine
conference the testimony of the most
experienced navigators of the world
was against them. Old sea captains as
sert that the human ear Is more accu-
rate In detecting sounds and determn-
ing their direction without the assist
ance of any new-fangled invention. and
