into the ice, the fringe rising round it expands laterally upon the borders of the piece, and tends thus, as in fluids to fill up the cavity made by the body driven in. These experiments tend greatly to illustrate the placity of the ice." m
 While l was in the Artic regions my cook inadvertently and unintentional- ly confirmed this experiment in a way more ludicrous than scientific upon an- other kind of solidly frozen fluid, re- fer to that in our molasses barrel, which we kept in the cold for the good and sufficient reason that there was not room inside, and when addit- ional molasses was wanted the cook took hatchet or axe (the head of the barrel being out), and split off enough from, the frozen mass to use, brought it near the fire, where it thawed into molasses, or at least into eatable mo- lasses. This liquid luxury was about one-third gone, when the hatchet dis appeared with which the cook col lected it for the meals. He attributed its loss to the Eskimo, although they were known to be exceptionally hon. est, for savages, and the molasses barrel was in a tent that could be entered without going through the cooks snow house adjoining, or cutting through the tent, which would have shown. An axe replaced the missing hatchet for few days until the cook, visiting the tent, found only the tip of it's handle sticking out of the molasses, it having sunk into that material when carelessly left on top. Had the axe sunk into a rock on which it had been placed the cook would not have been more astonished; but it proved the placity of solid frozen molasses at 50 degrees below as surely and certainly as if it were spread over a hot buck wheat cake, though the degree of this might vary in the two cases of course .- Frederick Schwatka in the Independent.

1T was troubled about three years or more with that terrible disease, dys- pepsia. I had been living so long in this state that became so weak could scarcely get up and down stairs. I could not eat substantial food enough to give me the proper strength to work on.
 T got a bottle of Dr. Greene's Ner- vura and took about half of it when l began to see change in my condition, and so kept on until I was perfectly cured. don't think it took over five bottles. Before I began to take the remedy could eat nothing but rye bread, this was all I could keep on my stomach. Now can eat anything, vegetables of all kinds, and we now keep Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy in the house all the time. II recommend it to everybody"

VICTOR HUGO WAS RIGHT. A Plain Fact But a Tor menting Truth. "He Who is Sick Is Never
 Alone,
For He Has His Sickness Constantly
 With Him.

Victor Hugo once said: "He who is hungry is not alone, for he has his hun ger always with him."
 The modern version of this might be: "He who is sick is never alone, for he has his sickness constantly with him."
 But what a companion! He is like the criminal who found himself shack led to a corpse, his days are miserable and his nights a nightmare.
 You can shake off the dread compan- ionship of disease and weakness, if you will. You can be made again strong, vigorous and well if you will use that greatest cure of modern times, pr. Greene'sf Nervura blood and nerve rem sedy.

A beggar once asked aims of Oliver
Goldsmith as he walked with friend
up Fleet street, and he gave her a shil-

thing of the woman, censured the writer
for his excess of humanity, saying that
the shilling was misapplied, as she
would spend it for liquor. IF it makes

Another proof that the doctors gen

money, but friend calling upon him
and relating piteous tale of his goods
being seized for rent, the thoughtless
but benevolent author gave him all the
money. The tailor called and was told
that if he had come little sooner he
could have had the money, but that he

TREE OF TIBET.
Fabulous Prices Paid For the Leaves

of the Sacred Growth.
Few persons probably have heard of
the marvellous tree of Tibet. Neverthe-
less for long time it has enjoyed
great reputation in the east. 1t is sa-
cred tree, and fabulous prices were paid
for few of it's leaves.
In his Souvenirs de Voyage au
Tibet Pere Hue speaks of this won
derful tree. 1t is essentially of a literary
and artistic turn of mind and has the
strange habit of producing images and
hieroglyphics upon its leaves. Some
times religious figures take the place Of
the letters. Pere Hue called the myste-
rious thing "the tree of thousand
images " These images are found on
the leaves, on the stems and on the
trunk. Near the temple of Buddha, in
the village of Liousar, Tibet, this
great tree has stood for years. the plague
and the puzzle of all the botanists who
have ever received the gift of faith.
A great antiquity was given to the
tree; indeed it was claimed that it bad
existed from time immemorial But an
investigation not many years ago proved
the images on the tree to be fakes. The
trick was simple enough, like every 9th
er trick when it is found out In the
spring and in the summer on dark
nights lama, endowed with acrobatio
power, with his pockets full of hand
stamps, climbed all through the tree
and stamped the leaves with all sorts Of
holy images and characters. the most
numerous being the following formula
"Om name padone om' (Glory to
Buddha in the lotus) This is also
stamped upon the bark, and the leaves

GENUINELY HARD UP.
Ont of Three Hundred Accepting Free
Beds Only Five Had "the Price,"

Out of Three Hundred Accepting Free
Beds Only Five Had "the Price,"
A short time ago a curious test was
applied at the London Congregational
Union Free Shelter For Homeless Men
at Medland hall, in the east of London
The object of the test W is to ascertain
if the men were really as penniless as
they represented themselves to be. The
free shelter is intended for men who
have not the fourpence necessary to pay
for nights lodging elsewhere and one
night Edward Wilson Gates, the shrewd
superintendent of the philanthropic
work of the union, announced that he
would give sixpence to each man present
who could prove that he had some
money, but less than fourpence. A chuo-
king laugh passed over the 800, that
being the maximum allowed in the hall.
"But how shall know that you have
less than fourpence?" asked Mr.. Gates.
"Search us!" cried the men,
"You really mean it?"
eyes"
Every well, but if any one objects let
him go to the gallery, and guarantee
that he shall not be turned away.
Only five of the 800 went up stairs,
and the others were thoroughly search
ed by experienced men. Two hundred
and forty-nine had nothing, one had
farthing, II had halfpenry, one had
three farthings, I3 had penny, two
had penny farthiHg, four had throo
halfpence, nine twopenoe, three two
pence halfpenny and two had threepence
halfpenny. Thus out of the 800 men
295 had not the fourpence necessary for
a "fo'penny doss' at lodging house.
1t seems pretty clear, therefore, that the
men were genuinely ''hard up. Lon
