OUR BOOK Table.

MRS. EDDY AND BOB NIGER
SOIL: OR, CHRISTIAN SCIENCE
TESTED
This little book, recently published.
is interesting and useful both for the
subject treated and the manner of it's
treatment. The subject is one Of the
latest novelties, or facts, in the re
ligious world. Christian Science is
tested in the form of a dialogue. The
author quotes from Mrs. Eddy's work,
Science and Health, with Key to the
Scriptures" and shows that the sub
ject, when pressed to its logical con-
illusions, is not only unscriptural, but
a denial of all Christian principles.
The author, Rev. c. Van Der Donct,
of Pocatello, Idaho, deserves credit for
his zeal and good intentions in aX-
posing the fallacy of this latest ad-
denda to the religious creeds of the
world.

Uncle Rastus. who was seeking infor-
nation concerning mushrooms, had been
referred by preternaturally solemn stu
dent to the professor of botany. and with
hat in hand he was addressing that dig
nitary.
Would yo' mind tellin me, Mista5h
Mandrake" he said, "how to 'stlnsuIsh
a mushroom I'm a toadsJOOd?'
Willingly said the professor. In
the first place, you must remember that
The amanlta phallOtdes, or deadly agarlc,
closely resembles the agaricus campes-
iris, or edible funS gus, Which IS ouI >~4H-
mon variety and absolutely innOcuouS-
Next, it will be necessary to fix firmly IN
your mind the distinguishing marks or
characteristics of the agarIcus campes-
trlS, which are these: n pneuS not COW
cred with excresCence-like scales; gIllS OF
q browniSh purple when mature, stalk
solid and approximately cylindrical; ring
near middle OF stalk; base not dubious nd
not sheathed by membrane. The diStin-
gushing characteristics OF the amanlta
phallOideS or deadly aSaric, are these:
Pileus destitute of distinct eixcrescenCes;
white gills, hollow stalk. large rl-g and
prominent bulb at base. with membran-
Gus upper margin. Bearing these points
of differentiation fully in mind, you will
never be al a loss to determine which va

The New Bank Building at HermosiIlo-
 The Banco de Sonora has moved in- to it's new building at Hermosillo and that solid financial institution now occupies one of the handsomest struc lures upon the Pacific coast. Tte edifice IS of a single story, and the front presents hand some colonnade of composite capitals, supporting the portico, under which is the entrance. Immediately inside are the counter and railing, of heavy mahogany, with the desks and windows of cashier, paying teller, note teller, etc. To the left, at the end of the counter, mas sive door swings back and admits to the door of the reception room, com municating with which are the otiices of the bank-the presidents and di' rectors' room, etc. The main office is a large room about 40x30 feet, with a high ceiling, supported by three Cor inthian capitals. The vault is mas sive, solid piece of masonry, the walls, ton and sides four feet in thickness, solid cement and stone, with steel bars interlaced imbedded in the cen ter. With the best of tools the most skillful bank burglar could not drill the walls and penetrate tte vault within several days. The door is Of burglar proof steel and fitted with a time lock. Passing the vault the "almacen" (wareroom) is reached. This is spacious room about l0Ox60 where are stored coffee in bags, sugar in boxes, carboys of mescal, and such other commodities as are accepted as collateral for loans, being simply a more direct form of the practice prev alent in the United States of loaning money upon warehouse certificates, the bank being in this instance the warehouseman. Here, as in the front office, everything is new, complete and elegant. This new home of the Banco de Sonora is one of which all having any interest therein may well be proud It is convenient and desir- able as banking office, and an orna. ment to the city.

There is more Catarrh in thi. sec. tion of the country than all other dis. eases put together, and until the last few years was supposed to be incur able. For great many years doctors pronounced 1t local dis ease, and pre- scribed local remedies, and by con- stantly failing to cure with local treatment, pron ounced it incurable. Science has proven catarrh to be a constitutional disease, and therefore requires constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co.,, Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional cure on the market. It is taken internally in doses from 10 drops to teaspoonful. It acts directly on the blood and mucous surfaces of the system. They offer one hundred dollars for any case it fails to cure. Send for circulars and testimonials.

NEW and improved pumping machinery of great power has been recently installed upon the Comstock lode, and the Consolidated Virginia mine, in which the lower levels have been under water many years, has paid a dividend from the proceeds of ores extracted below the I75o fort level, down to the 2I5o fort level, which ground was all under waiter. The result there shown would indicate that the Tombstone pumping proposition is comparatively simple.

How Trees Are Dwarfed.

produced by Chinese and japanese gar

a branch from tree. Just below an

moves ring Of bark. Then he sticks
the branch in ball of specially pre-
pared earth. This he Grams into a
flower pot and keeps 1t moist enough
to start the roots. After the roots are

French Elections.

Connected with French parliament
airy elections are some curious features
For instance, no wall literature issued
by candidate or his friends NAV be
printed on white paper, white being
the color reserved for official announce
ments. In the days Of the empire,
when official candidates were known
in the land. the addresses of the gov
ernment's nominees were printed on
white paper. and this no doubt had due
weight with the more ignorant voters.
Again, any elector whose name is men,
toned in newspaper can. IL he feel
himself aggrieved. call upon the editor
to publish reply. This, however, is
not confined to elections. but Is a right
enjoyed by French citizens under the
law of the country.

RACE FOR A MINING CLAIM.
Midwinter Dash to Secure Possession
of q Rich Di ggin1 in Washin9ton.

Midwinter Dash to secure Possession
of q Rich Digging in washinRton.
An exciting race for mine took place
in February, 1896. For many years It
had been known that the Colville In
dian reservation was rich In minerals
and prospectors had slipped in. eluding
the vigilance Of the Indian police. to
explore the mountains in northern
Washington. But long before white
men had entered the Indians knew that
the top of low mountain near the ma
tons border line was covered with
bright blue stones. so gaudy that many
were carried off and placed in the Wig
vans. The prospectors knew that these
gay stones betokened the existence or
copper veins and many hungry eye
was cast at that rOck-strewn patch OF
ground before the government lifted
the ban that kept out pale-face intru-
ders. But Congress passed a law open
ing part of the reservation to mineral
location.
Waiting for the President to sign the
formal proclamation, two parties quiet
" entered the forbidden territory and
camped alongside the promising vein.
At Marcus. the nearest telegraph sta
ton, two young men waited with tense
nerves for the first tick that would tell
that the President had signed the proc
lamation. It was a cold. gray winter
day and the snow was piled high. Late
in the afternoon the word came and
there was a simultaneous dash for the
horses that were waiting outside. Then
the race began. Plunging through
drifts, tumbling down declines. to.llng
desperately up steep hills and bound
ing at full speed over the level stretch
es, these two horses bore their riders.
Sometimes one was ahead and some
times the other. The sun disappeared
and the hurrying pair blundered along
through the deepening twilight, ana
then in the light Of the stars renecteo
by the glistening snow. Spurs were
plunged so deep that flecks OF blood
stained the snow. Almost side by slde
they scrambled up the mountain. Inc
wells of the riders were heard In the
distance by the rival watchers. who did
not wait a further hint, but drove the
stakes that were to locate the La Fleur
mine.
Then followed wordy disputes. nst
fights and the fiourishing of Wincnes-
tiers, but before the mine was chris.
tened with blood one party concluded
to withdraw and fight its battle In the
courts.-Ainslee's Magazine.

ARMOUR AND HIS EMPLOYEES.

An Incident Showing the Kindness OF

Perhaps phil" Armour had less trou-

country. He was exacting and re-
quired punctuality and energy, put ne
always paid good wages and showed q
personal interest in the welfare OF each
one of his employees. He never permit
ted himself to get into debt, and he
tried to impress upon his. employees the
rule which he had followed. 1t is re-
lated that one day, Oh going into his
office, he found policeman in the cor
ridor.
What are you doing here. sir?" he
asked.
81 am here to serve paper" was
the reply.
What kind of a paper?" asked Mr..
Armour.
81 want to garnishee one OF your
mems wages for debt" said the police
man.
Indeed" replied Mr.. Armour, land
who is the man?" He thereupon asked
the policeman into his private office and
ordered that the debtor come In. He
then asked the clerk how long he had
been in debt. The man replied that for
twenty years he had been behind. and
that he could not catch up.
But you get good salary" said Mr..
Armour, don't you?"
"Yes," said the clerk, but can't get
out of debt. My life is such that some
how or other l can't get out"
But you must get out" said Mr..
Armour, "or you must leave here. How
much do you Owe?"
The clerk then gave the amount. II
was less than 1000. Mr.. Armour took
his check book and wrote out a check
for the amount.
There" said he as he handed the
clerk the check. There is enough to
pay all your debts. Now l want you
to keep out Of debt, and IL hear Of you
again getting into debt you will have
to leave"
The man took the check, paid his
debts and remodeled his life on a cash
basis.

GIRLS FIGHT WITH A HAWK.

California Child Displayed a Wonder
fui Amount of Pluck.
Ida Duffy. the 9-year-old daughter Of
Thomas J. Duffy, Of the Palatine In
surance Company, of San Francisco
had desperate battle with a wounded
chicken hawk at San Rafael and mar
rowly escape with her life. Several
days ago the bird was given to the
child and it has since been kept a pris-
oner in the yard Of the family residence
at that place. The other morning the
hawk succeeded in making it's escape
and few to nearby tree, where a
piece Of string attached to it's leg be
came entangled in the branches, again
making the bird prisoner.
The little girl seeing that the hawk
was unable to fly away, ran to the tree,
and taking advantage Of its spreading
limbs, rapidly climbed to spot many
feet above the ground, where the bird
was entangled. She attempted to undo
the string from the tree, when sudden
ly the bird swooped at her and buried
the talons of both feet in the little girls
face. The child screamed with pain,
but pluckily fought the hawk off as
again and again it attacked her with
beak, talons and wings.
The child's face was terribly scratch
ed and her hands cut In the struggle,
but the little heroine chung to the tree
and eventually securing hold on the
birds legs prevented 1t from doing fur
Their harm. Slowly and painfully she
climbed down the tree and still cling
ing to the struggling bird she brought
it with her to the ground and placed 1t
in captivity. Then she ran to the
house, where her cut and bleeding face
was promptly attended to.-Los Ange-
