For the love Of heaven, get this in
your heads and keep it there. And
whatever you do, don't write us
any more letters sagely proving
that the nineteenth century begins
when we have only lived through
eighteen hundred and ninety-nine
years. The nineteenth century will
end when we shall have lived
through nineteen hundred years,
namely, on the last day of Decem-
Der. 1900. If this does not con-
vince you, come to the journal
Office with $1,000. We will gladly
give you $1,899 in change. If you
accept we will believe that the
nineteenth century ends at the end
of 1899. If you don't accept $1,899
in exchange for your $500, then
you don't think that the nineteenth
century ends till the end of 1900.

Hotel in n GRAVEYARD,

One Of the largest hotels in Central
America and by far the largest in Be-
lie, Honduras, is surrounded by tomb
stones. AS this old and abandoned
cemetery was located in the center OF
the town, and afforded an excellent
site for an hotel, the necessary permis-
sion was obtained from the proper au-
thorities, and in less than a year a
large and handsome hotel was erected
In digging the foundation hundreds OF
skulls and bones were discovered, all
Of which were carefully collected and
inferred in the new cemetery. The no.
tel possesses a room in which service
is conducted by local preacher every
Sunday. Last year the Battersea YES
try voted a sum Of G400 for the pur-
pose of erecting refreshment kiosk in
the Battersea Parish Cemetery, better
known as Modern Cemetery"

Elevator Sickness.

Physicians have discovered a new
and distinct modern ailment, which
they call elevator sickness. 1t is as
serted by reputable medical men that
the large increase in the number OF
cases of brain fever and nervous dis
orders is due in no Insignificant degree
to the extension of the elevator sys-
tenn. Most people feel sensation as
II they were falling when going down
in a rapidly moving lift" and the
constant repetition of this seemingly
slight dizziness induces chronic head
ache or other nerve disorders, and even
leads to brain fever in some instances.
Those who habitually ride up and
down six or eight stories two or three
times a day almost invariably become
a prey to some form of nervous trou-

Part Of tho Brain That Keeps Names.

An Austrian savant has declared that
the human brain contains a name
center" He says that it is the Office
of this cell to retain names. A strik-
ing case which would seem to confirm
this theory recently occurred at Cleve-
land. A brakeman was shot by a con-
ductor, and the former could not re-
member the names of persons and
things, although he could perfectly
well describe the functions of all ar
ticles exhibited to him. A surgeon
probed for the bullet and found it in
the exact spot necessary to affect the
remembrance of names, according to
the Austrian's theory. When the pres
sure of the brain had been relieved the
patient remembered names as well as
he had done before his injury, and told
the name Of his assailant.-Scientifi

&c see gambling is running wide

Harris, a cattleman of Topeka to a
Denver Republican reporter. - cont
suppose, though, it is as vide open
now as it was in the late SOS. was
in Manitou every sumner at thic: time
and the high games that used 10 run
at some of the clubs would be an eye
opener to the gamblers of the present
day. Cattlemen were making money
then, Is were the miners, and they
used to meet in Manitou and try for
each others pocketbooks, with the re-
suit that the professional gamblers got
the money. | remember how one
young fellow was made to quit winner
against his will. His name was Rich.
He was a nephew of one of the big
reaper men and his folks kept him
supplied with money, a regular allow
ance. He had been gambling every
cent of it, letting bills pile up for ho-
tel and livery and everything else. His
people sent word that they wouldn't
send any more money, and said II he
got into trouble he'd have to get out
himself. His creditors were just about
ready to jump onto him, when one
night he made a big winning. He
was playing faro in the club that's
torn down now. 1t used to stand
over from the depot and was the place
for high play. suppose he had $4,000
or $4,000 in front of him when his
friends began trying to persuade him
to quit. He was just like all the rest
of them, going to break the bank and
all that sort of thing, and he wouldn't
quit. 1t was red hot night for Man
itou, and with the excitement and all
Rich had pulled off his coat and rolled
I'D his sleeves There was doctor
among his friends, and though he
hadn't said anything to Rich, l sup
pose he felt u responsibility, because
the young fellow had come out here
for his health and had been referred
to the Manitou doctor by the doctor
he had at home. / was watching the
play, though | didn't know any of the
people. l saw the doctor turn his
back to the crowd for minute and
fiddle with something he had taken
out of his pocket. Then he walked
over to Rich and put his hand on his
bare arm. You need a sedative, he
said. Quick as a flash he took the hy-
podermic syringe he had in his hand
and fired charge into Rich's arm.
Rich said ouch and grabbed at the
place where he had been pricked, but
the deal was going on, and he turned
to that again. Before half the cards
were out his head settled on the table,
he commenced to draw good long
breaths and was asleep. The doctor
took the chips, cashed them in, then
he took and wrote a receipt for the
money and gave it to another friend
of Richs to keep Then he took Rich,
loaded him into a carriage, took him
out to his Office, and watched over him
until he came around the next day.
Rich paid his bills, but he did no more
gambling in Manitou. They wouldn't
let him play again."

According to the Irrigation Age, the
waters of the Great Salt Lake in Utah
have receded a mile in the past year,
and some persons think that within
the coming century this wonderful
body Of water may be completely dried
up. The cause of the lowering of the
water is ascribed to the rapid extension
of irrigation bitches, which draw their
supply from the streams emptying into
the lake. There is now salt DESERT
not far from the lake, which was once
covered with water. The salt deposit
on the floor of the lake itself is be-
lieyed to be Of great thickness.

BULLER'S FLYING WEDGE
FOOTBALL TACTICS APPLIED BY
THE BRITISH.
An Advance of Another Five Miles
Would Enable The British to Score a
TonCh Down.

LONDON, February 9.-The military
experts are spending their energies just
at present to figuring out from the
meagre news given out by the War
Office, just what Gen. Roberts and his
chief assistants are doing in South
Africa. What puzzles them is the
silence of the War Office.
1t is figured out that Gen. Butler Is
not attempting to turn the Boer posi-
ton His seeking to break his way
through the Dutch lines by means of his
bammering power of artillery. During
the first three days, artillery fire from
&c guns at one point and 70 at another
were concentrated upon the enemys EN-
trenChments Gen. Butler was not in q
hurry, but was content VIII, holding the
position taken by Lyttleton's and Hid
yards soldiers, and with moving his
guns across the river to support them.
The wedge had been driven in only a
short way, but it was i'm the direction
of Lady smith, which was not more than
zen miles from the advanced British
position. If it could be hammered fol =
ward another five miles, White would
be enabled to cooperate with Gen. Bull
Ger.
