Cure Worse Than the Disease.

The Bureau of American Republics
bulletin states that pulque, or the ter
mented juice of the Mexican lnaguey
plant has been found to be anti-scorb-
utic. and that DR.. Baca, a Mexican
physician, has used 1t successfully in
eradicating the forms of scurvy a dis
ease common among the Mexican In
dams. The drink swarms with bacter-
ia, and DR.. Baca's theory is that the
bacilli introduced into the system by
the drinking Of pulque attack ana con-
uuer those existing in the scorbutical
blood. Assuming that all this is true
It is also true that after the conflict
between the respective bacilli the pa
tient is left as drunk as a lord and
blind, fighting drunk at that, The pull
que Jag is said to be worse, therefore
than a hard cider jag. 1t Is a question
whether the remedy is not even worse
than Che disease.

different mark somewhere on it.
Every piece Of jewelry the jeweler
owns is marked with an Identification
number. 1t is scratched by the jewel
er as soon as it is bought, and entered
on his registry books, with full des-
cription of the setting and each stone.
Examine your rings with microscope
and the number will be found
Whenever an article CT jewelry Is
repaired this number, with its repair
registry number, is entered on the re-
pair book wherever it is left. This is
true of all articles of jewelry but is
particularly noticeable in the repair
of watches. Every time a watch Is
cleaned its new number Is scratched
somewhere on the inside of the case.

the length of time since the watch
was last cleaned, as he has 1t regist-
cred in his books.

TITS USELESS TO REGRET.

And disappointments. griefs and cares
Have hedged us round about.
And many sad mistake we've made
Throughout our lives, and yet
We've done the very best we could.
Tis useless to regret
For out of evil good has come.
And out of darkness light,
And all wrongdoings in this world
Some day will be set right.
And though we have not reached the
height
Attained by others, yet
We've done the best we could, my dear;
Tis useless to regret.
We've tried to live ike honest folks,
To do our duty WELL
'Gainst evil things to take our stand.
In goodness to excel.

Dramatic Climax to His Introduction
to Chewing Tobacco.
"A long time ago, when / was a mite
of a boy" said Edison, Il, with two
other little fellows, had saved up a lot
Of scrap iron and tin and zinc which
we meant to sell when the holidays
came around. There was large boy
in the neighborhood q think he must
have become bunko steerer after
ward who knew of our hoard. One
day when we had been in swimming
he came TO us and said:
"'Say, you fellows, if you will give
me that tin and iron and stuff you
have, I'll teach you how to chew
"The proposition struck us as being
very fair, particularly as he agreed to
furnish the tobacco. Well, we were
quite willing, so he brought some Ca
madam cut down to a sand bank by the
river. He divided the stuff into three
parts and gave us each one. Then he
said:
"'Now you must do exactly as say,
and you must do it right away, or
you'll never learn to chew.
Now. them he shouted, hold up!
I'VE held it up.
"'Put it in your MOUTH he yelled.
"We put it in.
"'Chewr he hissed dramatically.
@We worked away at great rate.
Swallow itv he screeehed.
1--WE gulped it down, and then that
young rascal fairly rolled down the
bank with laughter, while we soon
rolled down the other side, sicker,
suppose. than any of us had been in
our lives before or since. One of the
boys nearly died, and they had very
serious time with him. That was my
first experience with tobacco. ."-Phila-

FRESH GOLD CROPS.

Localities Where the Precious Metal
Deposits Itself Annually.
There are several localities where
gold may be said to grow every year
or, in other words, where fresh depos-
its of the precious metal are to be
found annually.
One such district is in the Edmonton
country, in the Canadian northwest,
where, after the spring floods, from the
same banks and benches" of the Sas-
katchewan river there are taken every
year considerable quantities of gold by
a few diggers, who make their living
out of the business.
But the most conspicuous and inter-
estlng case of this sort is to be seen
near Ichang, In the province Of Hupeh.
In China. For many centuries past
each year gold has been washed from
the banks of coarse gravel on both
sides of the river Ham, and in the
midst of the auriferous district there
is an ancient town called Li-kiu-tien.
which means gold diggers' inn." Its
inhabitants subdivide the gold bearing

Pig Bone Bracelets.

The natives of the New Hebrides
Islands, in the Pacific ocean. raise pigs
for bracelets. The upper canine teeth
of the pigs are removed, and that gives
the lower tusks a chance to grow as
much as they wish. The lower teeth
grow, and finding no resistance, attain
a good length. The teeth grow in a
spiral. and the tip often lies beside the
root of the tooth. Very rarely the
point grows into the root of the tooth
and makes a complete circle. A COM
plete pig tooth bracelet is a very valua-
bic jewel, which is worn around the
wrist or attached to a string around
the throat.-San Francisco Call.
