Everybody knows the great value Of
this remedy in the household, but
everybody does not know that the imita-
tons of it, which some second-class drug
gists ~dishonorably palm off on their Gus
TONERS, have little or no value. What
should be understood by the public is, that
1t is not a mere question of comparative
value between "Vaseline" and the imlta-
tions, but that the limitations do not effect
the wonderful healing results of the world
renowned "Vaseline," and that they are
not the same thing nor made in the same
way. Besides this, many of the limitations
are harmful irritant and not safe to use,
while Vaseline is perfectly harmless.
Perfect safety, therefore, lies in buying
only original bottles and other packages
put up by the Chesebrough ManufactR Co.

OUR GREAT PASTURES.
How the Western Cattle Ranges May
BE Restored.

BE Restored.
E. Benjamin Andrews, in Review of Re-
views.
The number of cattle in the United States
is increasing. though ii does not keep pace
with the population But the business is
land. rendering beef production costlier
than 1t need be. According to figures laid
before the House committee on public lands,
April is, 1902, the number of range cattle
sent to market diminished 81 per cent
between 1885 and 1900.
With due care the range can be made 10
recover its old fertility. 1t might easily
be put in condition to fatten four head Of
stock to each head now grazing upon it,
To effect this, regulation is needed. Some
authority must be asserted over the
pastures to prevent their abuse, to make II
for the interest of occupants not to kill the
goose which lays the golden egg. An end
must be put to the blighting competition
now kept up.
Regulation being established, pastures
can be used in rotation. period of rest
being given each. during which the grazing
and trampling of herds may cease, and
grasses have opportunity to scatter and
fructify their seeds Barren places can be
artificially reseeded and induced to yield
heritage as of old. In localities better
grasses than ever grew there can be sown
and grown.
Such a recuperative process has been set
going in other countries and in parts of
our own. Australia has suffered the pinch
through Wnlcn We are now passing. Her
great live stock industry was dying out;
her exports of wool and Of frozen and pre-
served meats dwindling Ranges were de-
pleted or destroyed, as now with us. Cattle
''duffing," outlawry, range jumping and
quarrels were general. The men of that
country faced the problem and solved IL. A
system of leases was devised, giving each
graZier, for term OF twenty-eight years,
exclusive range rights upon his land. 1t be-
came profitable for him to improve hts
holding instead of promoting it's deteriora-
ton. The lessee cuts his domain in two,
pasturing each part one year and resting
it the next. In this way the whole pasture
gradually improves in quality. Cattle null
tiply and thrive as additional grass grows
to feed them.
Mexico and Canada have had a similar
experience, and so In our own country have
Texas and other States. The excellent con-
troll of cattle afforded by the Canadian
system accounts fer the present hegira OF
American cattle people across our northern
border.

HOW TINE Is MADE.


Clifford Howard, in January st. Nicholas.
Strange as 1T may seem, Uncle Sam does
not make use OF the sun for reckoning time,
but, as already described in St Nicholas. he
turns his attention to some of the regu-
lar steady-going stars or fixed stars" as
they are called. Every clear night an as
tronomer with big telescope looks at GER
tain of these stars and makes his calcula-
tions, from which he can tell just when
the sun would cross the seventy-fifth
meridian. One of the greaf clocks in the OBJ
servatory is called the ira -smitter. because
it transmits or sends out the signal that
keeps standard time. This clock is set and
regulated by the star-time, and then every
day at three minutes and fifteen seconds
before twelve a switch Is turned on and
the beats of the pendulum of this clock are
sent by electricity over the wires to the
telegraph offices in Washington and New
York. When the telegraph operators hear
this sound on their instruments they know
that the noon signal is about to be sent out,
and they at once begin to connect the tele-
graph wires with other towns and cities.
until In a minute or two the tick. tick" OF
the clock at Washington is heard in hun
dreds of telegraph Offices. The beats stop
at ten seconds before twelve as a notice
that the next tick will be the noon sig
nal, and so as to give the operators time TO
connect their wires with the standard
timeballs and clocks. There are timeballs
in great many cities-usually on top OF
some prominent building where they can
easily be seen. The one at Washington is
on the roof of the State, War and Navy
department Dullding, at the top OF hign
pole, ready to drop the instant the signal
comes over. the wire. In the government
offices at Washington and in many places
in other cities there are large clocks con-
nected with the observatory by electricity
These are so arranged that when the
twelve o'clock signal is flashed over the
wires, the hands of each one of these clocks
spring to twelve, no matter what time the
clock may show; I'm this way hundreds of
clocks are set to the correct time each day
Well, the moment the sun is supposed to
cross the seventy-fifth meridian, the tele-
graph instruments give a single tick. the
timeball drops, the clocks begin to strike,
and everybody in the district knows 1t is
twelve O'clock
