Cause Of DeIerium TremeRs.

The reason that persons suffering
from delirium tremens SO frequently
have the sensation of seeing snakes is
probably explained by some recent ex-
perments in France, where number
of alcoholic patients were examined
with the ophthalmoscOpe with the re-
sultiug discovery that the minute
blood essels in the retina of the eye
were congested. Ia this condition
they appear black and are projected
into the field of vision, where their
movements resemble the sduirming OF
Serpents.

plate rock in this country occurred
in Florida in 1888 and 'S9. There are
different forms of this phosphate;
first, we have the land or boulder
phosphate, which occurs in rocky or
stony masses of varying size and
form, and varying from 80 to 40 per.
cent. of phosphoric acid; second. the
soft" phosphate, white powdery ma
terial, mixed with more or less kaolin
and containing from IS to 80 per cent.
phosphoric acid; thirdly, we have the
pebble" form consisting OF small, hard
in the beds of the rivers, and in de-
posts on the land. They are varia-
BILE in composition, but range from
about 80 to SO per cent. Of phosphorlc
acid. The Florida rock constitutes
very important source of phosphorlc
acid, is highly esteemed, and is used
largely both at home and abroad.
Tennessee Phosphate.
Shortly after the discovery Of phos-
phate rock in Florida, discoveries be-
gan to be made in Tennessee in the vi
cinity of Nashville, and later still i'm
portant deposits began to be found
in Maury county, Tenn, near Mt.
Pleasant This rock. like the others,
is variable in form and composition,
but the marketable varieties range
from 30 to 81 per cent. of phosphoric
acid. There are other important phos-
phatic deposits in the world, but those
just described constitute the import
ant ones for southern agriculture.
Having mentioned the chief sources
of nitrogen and phosphoric acid, we
will take bird's-eye view of the
source of potash

STORY OF HENRY l.. DAWES.
How He Added a Bronze Figure
TO His Indian Relics.

The late Henry Laurens Dawes, eX-
United States senator from Massachu-
sets. who was chairman of the COM
mission appointed to investigate the
disturbances among the Ave civilized
tribes of Indians in the Indian Terri
! tory, had veritable museum Of Indian
relics. The nucleus consisted Of bust
| that has been declared to represent ev-
cry Indian chief Of prominence in the
history of the last quarter of century,
according to the fancy of the visitor,
and an old pipe bought of White Cloud.
One of his treasures was a big case
from the Carlisle Indian school, the
cabinet itself and the contents all being
the workmanship of pupils at the
school. The cabinet is of prime wood,
neatly painted white, the work Of Con-
rad Sioux, a carpenter of twenty-five,
who learned his trade at the school in
four years well enough to put this to-
gether Behind the glass panes is dis
played q large collection of durable
and useful articles of Indian make.
One compartment holds harness, mar
tingale made by Victorian Addipan, q
blind by Harold Dodestenay, also shoes
for boys and button boots for girls by
Otto Zoban, a Kiowa, Samuel Dive, a
Sioux, and Others. There is a case full
of iron work-hammer heads and NIP
pers; one of tin work-dippeys, cups
and a coffeepot T. Tinkat, q young
fellow from Alaska, made the cup, ac
cording to the label, and Charles Hand,
a Modoc. the big dipper. Several little
girls from ten to fourteen have con-
tributed baby clothes. Close by the
many named bust is the bronze figure
Of an Indian at a spring. 1t is a fine
bit of work. The young brave, denoted
as such by the feather plume on his
head, is leaning over in a meditative
mood and peering into the water. Sen
ator Dawes captured this only after
some controversy with Mr.. Evarts. The
bronze was originally in the room of
the library committee OF the house.
Mr.. Dawes saw it there and coveted it.
One day his desire got the better Of his
modesty, and in conversation with the
"See here, Evarts; you'd better let
me have that Indian maiden for my
room"
Maiden! How do you make that
out|' was the reply.
Mr. Dawes looked the bronze over
and again said he thought he ought to
have the maiden.
Evarts insisted and finally said, well,
when you will acknowledge your mis-
take you can have the statue; not be-
fore"
Mr. Dawes went away unconvinced.
Week after week passed, but the New
Yorker showed no signs of relenting.
At last Dawes went to him one day
and gave up. 81 guess we won't let
question of sex stand between u.s." said
he and carried off the figure.

oroverb. 1t often seems to
work though no one has ever
old why.
When mothers are worried
because the children do not
gain strength and flesh we
say give them SCOTS Emul-
sion.
1t is like the penny in the
milk because it works and
because there is something
astonishing about it.
SCOTS Emulsion is simply
a milk of pure cod liver oil
with some hypophosphites
especially prepared for delicate
stomachs.
Children take to it naturally
because they like the taste
and the remedy takes just as
naturally to the children be-
cause it is SO perfectly adapted
to their wants.
For all weak and pale and
thin children SCOTS Emulsion
is the most satisfactory treat
