the equinoxes," and also from the further
fact that each sign Of the zodiac occupies
thirty degrees of celestial longitude, while
the consultations are some small and some
large. For instance, the constellation
Virgo occupies only about twelve de-
grees OF the sign Virgo" all of the ''sign
Libra, and a large part of the sign
Scorp1o." Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Ac-
Quarious are small considerations.
The signs" are reckoned from the
first point in Aries term by which is
meant the venal equinox, or the exact mo-
ment when the sun is on the point where
the ecliptic and equator cross each other.
This point is now twenty eight degrees
west of where it was 100 years B. c. The
annual recession is al the rate Of fifty
seconds OF arc, and in about {, 100 years
from this date the vernal equinox will oc>
cur on the 1st Of January. During Druidi-
cal times the vernal equinox was celebrated
on the 1st of May. Hence the origin OF

Combinations in many conditions Of
earth life seem to have been the rule for
the year 1899. Not only have capital and

but even nations have made determined
efforts to form gigantic alliances which
were calculated to insure greater nation

TO bless humanity in the aggregate.
These efforts at getting together. how

DO WE REALLY TASTE?

1t would now seem from experiments
which have been carried on in the Univer-
sity of Iowa that we do not taste many Of
the things which we eat at our daily meals.
1t is asserted confidently that we merely
smell them. If the nose is tightly closed
in the ordinary man and he is blindfolded,
he will not be able to distinguish coffee
from water or weak solution of quinine.
This has been proved by experiments made
on many persons. Common coffee was
said to be water; it was also said to be
quinine. Water was said to be coffee.
Tea was called coffee. Turkey was ca lied
pork. Raw apple was called grape juice.
Malt extract was sherry wine. Lard was
pronounced butter. In short, experienced
persons were unable to distinguish many
common foods and drinks when sensations
Of smell were removed, and the conclusion
was reached that person might even prac.
tice economy in eating by merely blind
folding the eyes and substituting lard, pork
and beef for butter, turkey and venison,
while il the further precaution was taken
to close the nose a very weak solution OF
quinine would pass for good coffee and
vinegar for the most costly wine.

ORIGINATED IN CHINA.

Few people while enjoying the delicious
sensations OF the massage at the hands Of
an expert operator are aware that to the
Chinese we probably owe the treatment.
While the question as to whether massage
originated in Sweden or China has been
much discussed, the latter country is evil
IDENTIFY strong claimant. According to
longtime Chinese ideas, life is entirely
dependent on "air current which are
designated as the primary aura of the
organism; so long, then, az the body is per-
meated by the air current it is proof against
disease, and the object of physical exercises
is to circulate the air current. TO effect
this the Chinese system is divided into
three periods, each period occupying hun
dred days. the first period commencing at
the time Of the new moon. The patient
must rise at four o'clock in the morning
and walk outside his house, taking seven
deep inspirations, and, Immediately after
this, two youths who have been specially
trained commence gentle friction all over
the body, starting over the cardiac area.
At the time OF full moon a further set of
inspratory exercises are taken. Later on
in the second period, the various parts of
the body are rubbed with wooden planks
until the muscles are hardened, and it is
not until the hardening takes place that
the real physical exercises are taken
Between the fifth and sixth month is the

EASE AND DISEASE.
A Short Lesson on the Meaning of a
Familiar Word.

Disease is the opposite Of ease. Webster
defines disease as ''lack of ease, uneasness,
trouble, vexaton, disquet." 1t is a con-
dition due to some arrangement of the
physical organism. A vast majority OF the
disease" from which people suffer is due
to impure blood. Disease of this kind is
cured by Hood Is Sarsaparilla which puriies,
enriches and vitalizes the blood Hoods
pimples and all eruptions. 1t tones the
stomach and creates a good appetite, and it
gives vigor and vitality to the whole body
1t reverses the condition of things, giving
health, comfort and lease" in place of
''disease."

If the Proposed Dam in walkerville
Should Break.

There is big hole in front of the
East Walkerville school house, into
which some one or more children are
liable to fall any day. Mayor Briney,
who was in Butte last night to see
what was really sensational in "The
Turtle" said that the Walkerville au-
thorities would see to it that the hole is
filled and danger removed
AT present." said he, everything up
our way is reservoir talk-nothing
else"
What is there really dangerous
about that damn" asked one of the
party of men with whom the mayor
was talking.
Nothing at all, if it doesn't break.
But if that thing breaks when it is
full of water, it will send down the
gulch clear to the Centennial brewery
a sweep of death and destruction sim
ply appalling in extent"
Asked what the council and commit
tee of citizens intended to do about it,
the mayor replied that definite action
in the matter would not be taken I'M

process of formation, are arranged sat
