Mr.. Foraker then moved that the reso-

There is no drug yet discovered, so far
as we know, unless it is alcohol, which dis
tinctly adds force to the body when it is
taken. All of the so-called Strengthening
remedies" which enable a man to accom-
plish more work when he is under their in
fuence do this not by adding units OF force
to his body, but by utilizing those units Of
force which he has already obtained and
stored away reserve force by the diges-
ton of his food. Kola, coca, excessive
quantities of coffee and tea and similar
substances, while they temporarily cause
nervous work to seem lighter, do so by
adding to the units OF force which man
which he should most sacredly preserve
his reserve food. The condition Of the In
dividual who uses these remedies when
tired and exhausted. with the object of
accomplishing more work than his fatigued
system could otherwise endure. is similar
to that of banker who, under pressure of
financial difficulties, draws upon his CAPT.
tai and reserve funds to supplement the
use of those moneys which he can properly
employ in carrying on his business The
result in both instances is the same. In a
greater or less time the banker or the pa
tient, as the case may be, finds that his re-
serve fund has disappeared. and that he is
a pecuniary or nervous bankrupt.
One of the early signs of consumption is

to other causes than tuberculosis. 1t may
be seen in the neighoorhood of carious
teeth, or where tartar incrusts the
crown of a tooth. It's diagnostfc value is
thus qualified. Clubbed finger tips are
common to phth.sis. with many other
wasting diseases or conditions which inter-
fere with nutrition, such as valvular or
other heart affections. Morning sickness
and want of appetite are common forerun-
ners of consumption. To the same cate

In a very humble cot.

In very humble cot,
In a rather quiet spot,
In the suds and in the soap,
Worked woman full OF hope:
Working. singing all alone
In a sort OF undertone:

He will keep me to the end"
Sometimes happening along

And / often used 10 smile,
More in sympathy than guile:
But i never said a word
In regard TO what / heard.
AS she sang about her friend
Who would keep her TO the end.
Not In sorrow nor in glee
Working all day long was she,
AS her children three or four
Played around her on the floor:
But in monotones the song
She was humming all day long:
with the Savior for a friend,
He will keep me to the end"
It's q song I do not sing.
For / scarce believe a thing
or the stories that are told
OF the miracles OF old;
But / know that her belief
Is the anodyne OF grief.
And will always be a friend
That will keep her to the end.
Just a trifie lonesome she.
Just as poor as poor could be,
But her spirits always rose
Like the bubbles in the clothes,
And, though widowed and alone.
Cheered her with tho monotone.

Hardly year elapses without evidence
being forthcoming of nature deviating In
some remarkable fashion from the beaten
track. This is especially noticeable in the
case of birds. A semi-albino hare how
ever, is a thing almost unique, and one
has just been shot at Stansted, in Essex.
The specimen in question had the fore
parts and all the extremities pure white,
the back being of the usual tint but ex-
tremely pale. Not every one. perhaps, is
aware that albinism is even extended to
such diminutive insects as carvings.

CATCHING sMELTs.

How the Little Fish Are Hooked
Through the Ice.
The smelts are all caught with hook
and line, says the Bangor Commercial.
Taking them otherwise, such as by
seine. would be regarded by the fisher
men here as a great wrong. The fish
ing is all done In tents, the tents being
about six feet long, five feet wide and
high enough for a man to stand up in
them.
These tents are covered with cloth,
heated by stove and lighted usually
by a lantern. l have known the tenn
perature Of my tent to vary, however,
60 degrees within ten minutes during a
cold day.
A hole about six feet long and eight
inches wide is cut In the ice and the
tent set lengthwise of this. Six lines
attached to a pole fastened TO the
plates OF the tent hang into the water
nearly eight inches apart. These lines
during fishing hours are always kept In
motion.
The way the fishermen handle these
lines, how they can bait the hooks and
slat smelts. when, as they say, they
are taking holt" is certainly wonder
full. 1 have known one man to catch
100 pounds in less than one hour. This
means at least 1000 fish, or about II a
minute. One smelter has been known
to catch 500 pounds during one tides
fishing.
Some have made S25 to $50 a day and
others 5000 in a few weeks. But these
big catches are only made by those ex
pert in fishing. The chances are that
a green hand would starve the first
winter if dependent wholly on what
fish he caught

In Nassau, the capital city Of the Ba-
hama islands, they say ''the tree In the
public square"-not the trees. Now
the public square OF Nassau is quite as
large as that of most cities of the size.
but there is only one tree in It, and
that tree literally fills the square and
spreads its shade over all the public
buildings In the neighborhood. For It
Is the largest tree in the world at Its
base. although It is hardly taller than
three story house. IL Is variously
known as a ceiba or a silk cotton tree.
but the people OF the low islands of the
West Indies call It the hurricane tree:
for no matter how hard the wind
blows It cannot disturb the mighty,
butuessed trunk of the celba.
Its trunk throws out great curving,
windlike braces, some OF them 20 feet
wide and nearly as high. These extend
into the ground on all sides and brace
the tree against all attack. while the
great branches spread a thick shade
overhead. In the troplc sunshine Of
midsummer, hundreds, even thousands,
OF people may gather In the cool OF ITS
shadow. No one knows how old the
great tree IS. but It must have been
growing hundreds, If not thousands, OF
years. a very old picture In the library
at Nassau shows the tree as big as II
Is at present, and even the oldest negro
in the island cannot remember when II
was bit smaller.-Washlngton Post.
