Better than Pills.

The question has been asked, Gin
what way are Chamberlain's Stom-
ach 81 Liver Tablets superior to
pills." Our answer is: They are
easier and more pleasant to take,
more mild and gentle in effect and
more reliable as they can always be
depended upon. Then they cleanse
and invigorate the stomach and
leave the bowels in natural condi-
ton, while pills are more harsh in
effect and their use is often follow
ed by constipation. For sale by

he attached scale to measure the de-
gree of heat of the liquid into which he
plunged it. His lowest point was that
of freezing, as his highest was that Of
boiling water. He chose for the start
ing point on his scale the heat of the
human body, and this he called by the
round number II, the duodecimal sys-
tenn being then in use-that is, he sdivid
ed the space between the freezing point
and the temperature of the body into
twelve parts. He further stated that
the boiling point would be about 30, as
it was nearly three times that of the
human body.
A few years afterward, when Fab
renheft was working at the subject of
heat he took Newston's instrument for
his experiments, but, finding the scale
not minute enough, he divided each de-
gree into two parts, and SO made 1t "a
degrees instead of II. He also did more,
for, finding he could obtain lower tenn
peratures than freezing. and notably
that of ice and salt mixed together, he
took this for his starting point. 1t was
from this point he began to count "a
degrees up to body heat. This made. by
Boiling point he made So. 1t then be-
came zero; freezing, 8; body heat, "a,
and boiling water, So. This was really
the same as Newton's. only the scale
started lower and the numbers were
doubled. Later on, finding that he could
measure increments of heat more mi
nutely, Fahrenheit divided each degree
into four parts. 1t will now be seen
that if the numbers just mentioned are
multiplied by we have the thermOm :
eter which is now in use.

ON Observation-Disclosures.
Iron American Medicine.1

Is Observation-Disclosures indicative of
mental failure? This question is sug-
gested by such facts as the large num-
Der OF unaddressed letters posted each
year. An English contemporary cites
in evidence the official list of articles
left in one year in the London cabs and
omnibuses. 1t includes $50 canes, $4,000
umbrellas, 267 rugs. 742 opera glasses go
purses. besides birds. dogs, cats, etc
The list seems like a pretty severe
indictment of the mental Qualities On
the modern city dweller, and if the haro
pressed newspaper reporter happens to
see it he will undoubtedly send Off a
narrowing syndicate letter to all the
Sunday editors on this alarming demon
stration of mental degeneracy of the
twentieth century man. Even our med
ical contemporary suggests the adyisa-
bility of those who ride in omnibuses
and forget things of consulting physf
clan.
The more marvellous thing, however.
is that they do not forget far more
often than they do. Civilization has
suddenly increased a thousandfold the
necessary and synchronous preoccupa-
tions of the mind. Singleness of atten
ton was the predominant characteristic
of mental action before our time of be.
wildering interests and duties. Not to
have learned the trick of pofsing in the
attention at one instant such multi
tude of objects is certainly not demon
stration Of mental failure, but rather Of
non-acquirement of a difficult art
But the more convincing proof of the
actual triviality of the amount of for
getfulness is shown by the comparison
of the number of memory slips of the
Londoner with the number VINO ride i'll
omnfbuses and other public carriages
Let us double the number of lost ar
ticles and put the total at $4,000; IL now
we roughly estimate the number of rides
each day in London, as at least on the
average one for each twentieth citizen.

FROM AGUINALDO's DIARY,


IFrOm the brooklyn Eagle
The record of the month of January,
1900, is a repetition OF evasions. escapes
and forced marches in the mountains
from settlement to settlement to dodge
the American troops, which seem to
have kept up a relentless pursuit. The
month of February opens In the same
way. Under the date of February )
there is this interesting entry:

was insulted by all the Cayagan people,
especially by the officers of the unfor-
tunate battalion. In the presence of q
great public gathering they called him
thief, man of dfshonOr, coward. etc.
But Tirano probably through ignorance
of their meaning, paid no attention to
the insulting remarks When the Off
GERS of the battalion went to embark
for Manila on board a ship where there
were friars and Spanish prisoners. the
latter on seeing the former approach in
small boats or lighters, commenced cat
calling and kissing. saying: Away with
the dishonorable officers: away with the
thieves: away. lest we kill them!

General Tirano and all leading officers
of the two battalions under his COM

trade in rice, tobacco, salt fish, matches,
ETC., in a word, they monopolized all
business. The price OF rice rose to SIS

nine months General Tirano gathered

NO EXEMPTIONS POSSIBLE,
Opinion Regarding Sale Of Wood il
the District

A. B. Duvall. the corporation counsel,
sioners in which he holds that under the
present laws there can be no exemption
from the requirement that all firewood
brought into the city for sale shall be
measured by the inspector and measurer of
wood Phillips & Juenemann recently
wrote to the Commissioners saying they
had bought seventy-five cords of wood and
intended bringing it here for sale. They
did not desire the protection guaranteed re-
tail dealers by the requirements of meas
urement, and asked to be relieved of such
fees AS far as the consumer is concerned
the writer's declared, he was protected by
the Office of the sealer Of weights and
measures. MI Duvall says:
1T is in terms the duty of the inspectors
and measurers Of wood, by the ordinance OF
the late corporation of Washington, to
measure all the wood landed or sold, and a
penalty is imposed upon any person bring
ing or sending firewood to the city for sale
who shall sell and deliver the same before
it has been corded and measured.
The object of the inspection and meas
urement Of wood is not alone to protect the
wholesale buyer of wood. but also to pro-
tect the outside seller and others interested
in the cargo 1t is a mistake to suppose
that the consumer gets any protection
through the sealer of weights and meas
with the measurement of wood. The con-
sumner is practically without protection in
the purchase of wood, and must rely upon
the integrity OF the dealer"
The Commissioners have approved the
opinion.
