Most Excellent Service.

Such is the universal comment of ex-
perienced travellers after making a trip
over the "Great Overland Route" the
Union Pacific Railroad. 1t excels in
completeness of equipment, condition
of track and speed of trains, all of
which make travel a continual source
Of comfort and pleasure. All principal
points east are reached many hours
sequently at less expense. Therefore,
when you decide to go east you should
use this popular line, and for further
information communicate with H. M.
Clay, General Agent, Salt Lake City,
Utah.

DIRT PASSES FOR BUTTER.
In Many Places of This Globe Where
Primitive People Dwell.

In Many Places of This Globe Where
Primitive People Dwell.
Eating earth is practiced all over the
world to a certain extent, and is net
confined to the clay-eating Indians of
the far west. In some parts of the
mountains of Germany the natives eat
a certain kind of clay spread on their
bread, calling it "stein butter" stone
butter. In upper Italy and Sardinia
a kind of clay is offered in the markets
for sale as food. In Northern Sweden
and the peninsula of Kola a kind of
earth called bergmerl, mountain flour,
is baked with the bread. In Persia, too,
large quantities of clay are eaten. The
natives of Africa are great ~clay-eaters,
especially the Botocudos of the Orino-
CO river. In Nubia a certain kind Of
earth is eaten as a medicine, and on
the island of Timor the eating of earth
is connected with the religious cere-
monies. The cause of this widespread
custom, according to Doctor Lasch, a
German scientist who has just been in
vestigating the matter, is that the clay
contains a certain amount of salt,
which tastes good to these primitive
people. The consequence of habitual
earth-eating is a great d~istention of
the stomach, an increase in the lean
ness of the eaters, and distention OF
the liver. When a child Of civilized par
cnts shows a disposition to eat earth
or slate pencils, as is often the case,
there is a physical cause for it, and the
case should be brought to the attention

The observations OF Captain Carpen-
ter, Of the Royal Navy, show that the
hurricane which destroyed more than
1900 houses and hundreds Of lives in
the islands of Barbados and St. Vim
cent last September had a calm EYE"
at it's center -four miles in diameter.
The phenomenon of a central calm at
the core Of a whirling storm is charac-
t~eristic Of the West Indian hurricanes.
The diameter of the storm center, in
Guiding the circling winds that en-
closed the eye, was about thirty-five
miles during the period of greatest de-
struction. After the hurricane passed
st. Vincent. the storm center enlarged
to a diameter of 10 miles.

Discover Land.

The following are the names Of those

AS the morning light came in there
appeared to the southwestward a vast
bank of mist or cloud, which shrouded
half the sky and assumed a variety
of beautiful tints when the rising sun
shone on it-yellow and saffron, deep
ening into purple and blue as it's
masses changed in the contrary cur-
rents of air; while to the eastward, in
the quarter of the suns ascension, the
ripping ocean shone as if covered with
tremulous and glittering plates of min
gled gold and green.
A ration of r~um-and-Water in equal
proportions was now served round to
each man, the leathern cover of a
hung being our only cup, as we had
omitted a drinking vessel among our
hastily collected stores. Half of a bis
cult given to each constituted our
breakfast, and with hope dawning with
the day in our hearts we shipped our
oars and pulled stoutly toward the
west.
Tom Lambourne steered; the sea
was smooth, the wind light, and in our
favor; so ere long the mast was ship
ped and a sail hoisted to lessen the
labor of the rowers.
We were anxious for the dense bank
of purple cloud to clear away, that we
might have a more extensive view OF
the horizon, and perhaps discover a
sail, but the envious vapor seemed tc
darken and to roll before us, or rather
before the wind that bore US aft after
it.
About midday, when we were paus'

ing with heat, drenched with perspira'

We pulled with a hearty will, and
ere long were close in shore-so close
that our larboard oars seemed almost
to touch the mighty rocks which rose
sheer from the sea, like mighty cyclic

AS Hislop had foreseen, on rounding
the bluff, the shore receded inward, and
through a line of white surf. like that
which boils over the bar at a rivers
mouth, We dashed into a beautiful lit
tie bay, the sandy beach of which was
shaded by groves of bright green trees.
Still we saw no trace of inhabitants;
but selecting a small creek, which was
almost concealed by trees that grew
like mangroves, close to the edge of
the water, We ran our boat in, moored
her securely, where none were likely
to find her save ourselves, and then all

A Straight Line.

On a railroad map does not always
imply that there are no curves of
beauty or deviations in the exac
course of the road itself.
For over sixteen years, the Chicago,
Milwaukee g. st. Paul Railway Co., has

between Omaha and Chicago, which
runs in almost a straight line due east
from Omaha to Chicago through Gen
trail Iowa and Northern Illinois, and
is Familiarity known as the Chicago d.
Omaho Short Line because 1T is the

where in the East. It's sleeping cars
and Buffet-Library cars are models of
beauty and comfort. Electric berth
reading lamps in every section in it's

There is more Catarrn IN this section of the
country than all other diseases put together,
and until the last few years was supposed to be
incurable. For a great many years doctors pro-
nounced it q local disease, and prescribed local
remedies, and by constantly failing to cure
with local treatment, pronounced it incurable.
Science has proven catarrh to be a conStitu-
tional disease, and therefore requires conSti-
tutional treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure, man
ufactured by F.. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio,
is the only constitutional cure on the market.
1t is taken internally in doses from 10 drops to
a teaspoonful. 1t acts directly upon the blood
and mucous surfaces of the system. They offer

The Special Delivery Letters.

A special delivery stamp crowns an
ordinary letter and insures it royal
care. 1t travels first-class; the clerks
pass it rapidly on its way; on reaching
its destination all schedules are dis
regarded; it is honored by being sent
by a special messenger. This service
was begun in 1886; in 1898 the number
Of these stamps issued az over 5,0OO,-
