SCIENTIFIC SCRAPS.

Forty-four muscles are called Into

Scientists say that the whole human
body is full of microbes, and that a
person is healthy so long as the mi
orobes are in good condition.
According to Nilsson, the zoologist,
the weight of the Greenland whale is
100 tons, or 224, 900 pounds, or equal
to that of eighty-eight elephants or
440 bears.
The interior of o gold bearing rock
was inspected in an Oregon town by

Red light is not the lowest kind
visible to the eye. Whom a body is
heated up it emits first gray" glow
and then a red glow. Herr hummer
finds that this gray light is perceived
by the 'rod' formation and the red
light by the "cone" formation in the
nervous structure of the eye.
Professor A. Liversidge states that
when solid carbon dioxide is examined
under the microscope, it presents
along its edges projecting wire-like
crystals, which have branching fila
ments issuing from them, apparently
at right angles, resembling somewhat
the groups of minute crystals seen in
crystallized iron, gold and ammonium
chloride.
That the cinematograph is now

astronomer, has used a cinematograph

AIDED BY MRS. PINKHAM.

Mrs. W. E. PAXTON, youngstown,
North Dakota, writes about her strug-
gle to regain health after the birth of
her little girl:
DEAR MRS. PINKuAM:-It is with
pleasure that 1 add my testimony to
your list, hoping that it may induce
others to avail themselves of your val
liable medicine.
after the birth of my little girl,
three years ago, my health was very
poor. l had leucorrhea badly, and a
terrible bearing-downi pain which
gradually grew worse, until l could do
no work. Also had headache nearly
all the time, and dizzy feelings. Men
situations were very profuse, appear
ing every two weeks.
81 took medicine from good doctor,
but it seemed to do no good. / was
becoming alarmed over my condition,
when l read your advertisement in a
paper. l sent at once for bottle of
Lydia e. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
ponnd, and after taking two-thirds of
the bottle felt SO much better that
send for two more. After using three
bottles 1 felt as strong and well as any
one.
&c I think it is the best medicine for
female weakness ever advertised, and
recommend it to every lady meet suf-
fering from this trouble"
Maternity is wonderful experience
and MANY women approach it wholly
unprepared. Childbirth under right
conditions need not terrify women.
The advice of Mrs. Pinkham is freely
offered to all expectant mothers, and
her advice is beyond question the most
valuable to be obtained. If Mrs. Pax
ton had written to Mrs. Pinkham be-
fore confinement she would have been
saved much suffering. Mrs. Pinkham's
address is Lynn. Mass.

THE TORPEDO IN WAR.
It's Disastrous Effect in an Encounter o
the Coast of Chill.

It's Disastrous Effect in an Encounter on
the Coast of Chill.
One of the conspicuous elements of
the torpedo's value is the fear which
its use excites. Tho fact that its To-
cation is secret and its attacks we'll
nigh irresistible gives it power Of
intimidation out of all proportion to
it's actual potency and makes fleets un-
willing to face it. It caused terror
and decentralization at the battle Of
Lissa, and later, in The Franco G erman
war of 1871, the French feet was ac-
tually frightened out of Prussian ports
by the rumor and belief that numer-
Gus torpedoes had been planted for
their reception. A striking instance
of the effectiveness Of the torpedo is
found in the sinking of the Blanco
Encalada in Chilli from injuries thus
inflicted during the revolution of
1891. The whole of President Pof
maceda's feet pro-
insr~ae-- .uuueu4J
swift torpedo vessels, the Lynch and
Condell, arrived at Valparaiso. They
were armed with two 14-pounder guns
and four torpedo tubes. They imme-
diately attacked the Blanco Encalada,
and the ironclad was taken completely
by surprise. She had no protective
net out, and no guard boats were pa
trolling, while portion of the crew
was on shore. After two or three
futile attempts the Lynch approached
the Encalada within 90 yards and
discharged torpedo, which struck
the ironclad abreast the engine room.
The explosion was tremendous. Many
were killed, and the ship keeled over
and sank in fivo minutes. The tor.
pedo used carried charge of about
so pounds of guncotton. Neither Of
the attacking boats was injured, and
this fact and the demonstration thai
such charge of guncotton striking a
vessel in vital part is irresistible,
combined to give to the torpedo
prominence in naval equipment and
warfare which it had not before pos
sessed. - Frank Leslies Popular

Now and again, no doubt, the toxt IS

Is an anecdote OF London bishop who,
having read that story of John Wesley
cutting out every word of his discourse
that his servant maid did not under

try congregation the simplest sermon
he could write. He chose an eloment-
ary subject, and took as his text "Thc
fool hath said in his heart there is no
God" On leaving the church he asked
the parish clerk what he thought Of

After that box had been used no secured

the Countess of Balmoral, and can be
recognized officially only by that title.
Leopold II. of Belgium went to Paris
as the Count of Rayenstein and return
ed to Brussels under the same name.
The Prince of Wales has never been in
Paris; it Is the Earl of Chester who Is

ascribed to Albert Edward. The Em-
press Frederick Is the Countess Lin

self the Countess of Hohenembs; the
Empress Eugenie, Countesse de Pierre

she had restored. If you meet the
Countess Of Toledo on your travels, you

the Count Of Barcellos is King Carlos
Of Portugal, and his wife, Queen Amc-

Amusing Phase of Castiiian Character
Exhibited by Cabinet Crisis.
The Cabinet crisis which took place
in Spian in 1888 exhibits an amusing
phase of Spanish character. The minis.
terial crisis had existed almost year,
when the resignation of the Cabinet
took place as the result of q trivial
question of military etiquette. The
Queen had left Madrid for an excursion
to Valencia, which the Minister of JUS
tlce Insisted on her making, according
to the published arrangement, lest the
postpOnement should be construed as
sign of fear of the Zorillist republi-
cans, who had convoked mass meet.

bel, who was left to represent her, de.
cided to take a journey also, and In
formed General Martinez Campos that
her sister, the Infanta Eulalie, would
give out the military watchword. The
military governor Of Madrid replied
that the married infanta was not legal
~ly competent to perform that Office, and
that it was impossible, according tc
military rules, for him to receive the
parole from her husband, Prince An
tonic, Due de Montpensler, who was
only a captain in rank. The Minister
of War, who was not on good terms
with the captain general, sent brusqut
telegram ordering him to receive the
password from the Princess Eulalie
yharpIIpon General 70 on1pos offarad I, a.
resignation. All attempts to settle the
quarrel failed. and as a majority of tho
Cabinet sided with the captain general
General Cassola and the ministers who
had supported his view resigned theil
portfolios. Senor Sagasta handed IL
the resignation of the entire Cabinet tc
the Queen Regent, but subsequently
upon the later's request, formed a new
ministry.

Picturesque Havana.

Havana is dilapidated and pictur-
esque, and the traveller will find as
much of the bizarre and unique in a
stroll up the Prado and about the les
ser streets as he has perhaps ever en-
countered in like distance anywhere
To me the most interesting hour in
the day in one of those antique towns
is in the very early morning, when
the place is just getting awake and
the hucksters are coming in.
These country people arrive in all
sorts of ways for the daily market.
One group comes afoot, with tremen-
dously heavy loads of fruits and vege-
tables careleesly balanced on their
heads or swung on their backs. Here
is swarthy fellow leading o horse
bearing capacious reeded panniers of
fruits and stalks of sugarcane.
LAUNDERING wains come straining
into town, drawn by heavy -necked
yokes with restraining nose bitches.
A four-team of these cattle and their
great cart will alone block the aver
age side street, SO the country OK
carts rarely get very far into town.
When two Of them meet there is an
ably conducted debate On road rights
hnd considerable native profanity. An
ambulating haystack adds a pictur-
esque touch to the scene and breath
from the fields. As the diminutive
horse under the load swings down the
way the grass often brushes the
houses Oh either side and crowds the
footmen to the extremity of the eight
een-inch sidewalks. Woman Home
