The word ckicker' is no more slang,

word proves that there was real need
for it; that certain class of people had
no word in the English language to.

THE RISE OF THE KICKER.

ANY one who cares to trace the rise Of
the kicker will find that he keeps pace
with the prevalent American disease,
dyspepsia. All kickers may not be
dyspeptics, but all dyspeptics are surely
kickers. They are everlasting fault
finders. Nothing goes right for them
in the family or in business. There is
always dead fy il their ointment. It
is a miserable condition for the dyspep-
tic and his friends. He really can't help
himself His nerves are strained to the
limit of endurance. His ears are like
megaphones magnifying every little.
sound to the shock of thunder. His
eyes lose sense of perspective and he
sees mole-hills as mountains He is
suspicious, jealous, unreasonable and
obstinate; and all these things are only
symptoms Of the disease which is starv-
ing and weakening the entire nervous
system and reaching out toward heart,
liver, lungs, kidneys and other organs.

When at last every portion of the body
was uncovered and the work OF measuring
commenced, it was found that this giant
fossil had the advantage of almost a foot
over the one in the British Museum, which
was until the discovery of Professor ANA
lizky me largest ono Of the pariosaurus
family In the world.

skeleton being In any way destroyed. The
thirty other specimens which Professor
Amalizky unearthed were in fragments, but
they proved beyond a doubt that a race OF
giants In prehistoric ages inhabited the re-
gion Of Northern Russia
1t Is almost Incredible that Information 30
exact can be drawn from the few scattered
fragments which have been brought TO
light. but such Is the unity and persistence
Of plan which runs through the different
classes Of the animal kingdom that a single
tooth. whether OF a living or extinct spe-
cies. will often sufice to enable the expert
to disclose ali the geological relationships Of
the animal to which 1t belonged. to delin-
cate its form and size and habits Of life.
Not less sublime than the work OF the
astronomer, who sits in his observatory
and by the use of a few figures determines
the existence and position in space OF some
far-off, unknown orb. is that of the paleoh-
tologist-the astronomer OF time-worids-
who. from the tooth OF q reptile or the
bony scale Of a fish found thirty feet deep
in the solid rock. declares the existence
ages ago Of an animal form which human
eyes never beheld-a form that totally
passes out Of being uncounted centuries be-
fore the drst intelligent creature was placed
upon our planet-and by laws a. unerrins

ceeds to give US the length and breadth of

From the thirty fragments which PROBES

history Of the p~ariosaurus which the colos-
sal skeleton representa-. and from the per-
feet condition Of which q clear idea of the
formation Of this antediluvian race Of rep
tiles can be gained.

delayed the work considerably.
For weeks the party labored on without
receiving much encouragement to continue
their efforts. but q portion of a fossil or a
gigantic footprint clearly marked in strata

Professor Amalizky had the good fortune
to be leading the party who discovered the

sure that where such a specimen was there

feet higher up on the side of the cavelike
mountain of hard sandstone. in which they
were making their explorations.
