The profit of a gold mine despends,
not on the amount of rock crushed un-
der the stamps but upon the amount
of gold which can be extracted from
the rock. In similar way the value
of the food which is eaten does not
depend on the quantity which is taken
into the stomach but upon the amount
of nourishment extracted from it by
the organs of nutrition and digestion.
When these organs are diseased they
fail to extract the nOurishment in
sufficient quantities to SUPPLY the
needs of the several organs OF the body,
and these organs cannot work without
nourishment. The result is heart
''trouble," liver "trOuble." and many
another ailments. DR.. Pierce's Golden

gan of the digestive and nutritlve
system, restores it to health and vigor'

Nash thought he had killed him-and

''Ivey got up a crowd, and with the
sheriff of the county. secured the neigh
borhood looking for Nash, but to no
avail. He could not be found, and no
trace of him whatever was visible.
Ivey finally told the sheriff that he
was satisfied that what he had done
for Nash was plenty, and the party
abandoned the idea of finding him. 1t
was accepted as sure thing that Ivey
had killed Nash, and his widow mourn
ed him as dead. To corroborate the
generally accepted theory of the neigh
borhood, skeleton was found in the
woods by fox hunters, near lvey Is place,
about two years afterwards, and two
doctors who examined the skeleton
wisely and gravely decided that those
charred bones were all that was left of
the late Mr.. Nash. Ivey had many
friends and the matter was never

CONCERNING LAND CRABS.

One of the commonest and the largest
of the Christmas Island land crabs is
the well-known robber crab, which is
found in most of the tropical islands
of the Indian and Pacific oceans. II
sometimes reaches the length of two
feet, and may measure seven inches
across the back; its colors are of a
very gaudy description, the ground
color being a bright red upon which
there are stripes of yellow, but in some
cases a purplish blue is the prevail
ing tint.
The eyes are fixed on stalks, which
can be moved Independently of one an
other, and there are two pairs of feel
ers, one long the other short; the lat
ter pair are continually jerked up and
down. There is a pair of powerful
claws, then several walking legs. In
general appearance these animals are
much more like rather stout Holsters
than crabs, and ones first encounter
with one of these creatures in the mid
die of forest far from the sea is pro-
ductive of much establishment on both
Sides
Another species of land crab common
in Christmas Island, is a little bright
