MISCELLANEOUS.

1t is Just as easy to drift into danger
as to drive into it. The progress is slower
but the end is equally sure. 1t is the
gradual progress of drifting which blinds
to the danger. Men and women drift into
ill-health in such way. There is a
little feeling of oppression after eating.
Alter time it passes away. Some day
it returns and brings another symptom
headache, perhaps. Something IS done
to relieve the headache, but nothing to
relieve the cause. SO one more victim
goes drifting on to the rocks of disease.
Young women who are teaching or
studying are very apt to become victims
OF disease of the stomach. They eat in
Jud1c1ously, in some cases, aud in gen.
era1 the brain is too occupied to allow
the stomach the blood necessary to carry
on its functions. Hence in time the
organs of digestion and nutrition are
totally deranged, and the young gradu-
ate goes home chronic invalid.
The timely use of DIR. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery will avert such con-
dition; the faithful use of it in chronic
cases will effect complete cure.

.AeeITATING IRRIGATION.
The Strength Of the Newspaper Recog
nized as an Importance.

The Strength Of the Newspaper Recog-
nized as an Importance.
1t lies largely with the western press
to say what shall be. done by Congress
for the West. Western papers are OF
course for anything that is benefit to
the west. but SO long as they advocate
western measures in a desultory and
disorganized manner, they cannot &C
complish the results that can be attain
ed by com bined and sustained effort.
Some time ago western papers COM
menced vigorously agitating the water
question. Everybody has always
known of course that the West is de-
pendent upon water, but in showing
what might be done with more water
and in continually urging the vital i'm
portance of the question to the country
and the necessity for Congress taking
some action on broad national basis
for irrigation development, such inter-
est has been aroused that the whole
question has now been forced to the
front and is now recognized as one
which must be reckoned upon at each
session of Congress and which cannot
be suppressed. This is primarily the
result of newspaper agitation and the
newspapers of the West now hold the
key to the position
The situation in Congress is such
that if United demand is made by the
West for irrigation appropriations it
cannot be refused. There is no ques-
ton of this fact. The trouble has been
in the past that the West has not been
thoroughly united upon this PROPOSE
ton. The West holds the power in
Congress if it will stand unitedly and
exercise it,
And if Western newspapers-thec city
papers, the country papers, the dailies
and the weeklies-will print arguments
and demands that Congress shall con-
slider this great question of irrigation
as national question, not print one
article on the subject, but keep contin-
ually driving at the idea that the ques-
tion is the one most vital thing to the
entire West, the one question, which II
acknowledged by Congress will change
millions of acres of waste and barren
places into smiling fertility and wealth,
then it will take Western Senators and
Congressman long to see that this is a
question upon which they must unite
to a man, and with united western
delegation the battle is won. This is
the power which the western press
possesses.

The Eternal Cffv

In a recent lecture on Rome Mr..
Frederic Harrison said that the great
value Of the city Of Rome, from the
point Of view Of general culture and
education, was that it had by far the
longest and most complete history of
any city In the world. 1t had three
great qualities as the center of human
culture and the development of human
civilization. It was the center of the
ancient world for many centuries, 1t
became the center of the early Chris
tian world and for 1000 years 1t had
been the center Of religious pilgrim
ages, while for four or five centuries 1t
had been the center Of poetry and art
OF the modern world. These three
great epochs together made up some
thing like 1900 years, and no city in
the world had had so continuous a
life. Hardly century passed without
leaving its memorial in Rome.-London

The Health of Pearls.

A Philadelphia dealer in jewels says
pearls are in good health this summer
pearls are particularly liable tc
disease" he said. Commercially, the
health of pearl refers to it's lustre
and when it becomes dull you may
know that it is sick. Salt water is the
only tonic that is known to be effica.
ciOus in such cases, and after being i'm.
mersed in brine for several days the
gems will be found to be restored tc
their usual health. The summer
months are usually hard on pearls, but
this year, for some reason, there seems
to be very little illness among them

Makes Brilliant Flames.

People who live on the New England
coast like to use ocean driftwood as
fuel in open fireplaces. 1t is impreg-
mated with copper and ocean salts and
when burned gives out the most bril-
liant colored flames. 1t is asserted
that New Bedford dealer has orders
for the wood from all parts Of the
country, and even from Europe, and
ships hundreds of barrels Of it yearly.
Various attempts have been made to
initiate this wood by artificial process,
but without success. Long submersion
in the sea water is necessary to pro-
duce the brilliant fiames.-New York
