UNA IDEA ANEJA Y TONTA.t

Sc crela antiguamente, que un.
medicina era benGfica en- proportion
& 10 repugnante de su sabor olor; !;
pero va sabemos que tai idea era
un disparate. No hay ninguna ra
z6n por la cpal la medicina deba
offender 4 los sentidos mas que los
alimentos, y por 10 mismo, uno de
los triunfos mas grandes que ha al
canzado la quimica en- los ultimos
aflos, consiste en- 10 que Sc puede
lamar Ia redenci6n del aceite de
hlgado de bacalao Todo ell mundo
sabe cuan asqueroso es el sabor y
olor de esta droga en- su estado ma
tural, y no es de extraharse que IL
mayoria de Ia gente declare QUO
prefere sufrir la enfermedad & to-
mar ell aceite de higado de bacalao.
A pesar de todo 10 que Sc olga en-
contrario, las emulsiones son entera-
mente tan repugnantes como ell a.
ceite puro. Ahora bion, es una de
las leyes de la naturaleza, que un
remedio que es repugnante al olfato
y al paladar, y que tambien revuel-
We el estomago, no puede producer
buenos resultados, pues ell organis-
mo Sc rebela en- su contra { gri-
tos pide deshacerse de 81. Ell mila-
gro apetecido Sc encuentra en- la
PREPARATION DE WAMPOLE
en- la cual tenemos la parte valiosa
del aceite, sin los demas elementos.
Este moderno y eicaz remedio es
tan sabroso como la miel Y contiene
los principles nutritivos y curativos
del Aceite de Higado de Racalao
Puro, que extraemos de los higados
frescos del bacalao, combinados con
Jarabe de Hipofosftos, Malta y Ce-
rezo Silyestre. Tornado antes de los
alimentos, 9evita y cura la Tos, Dis
pepsia Nerviosa, Afecciones de los
Pulmones y todas las intermediates
que Sc originan por las impurezas de
Ia sangre. GEL Sr. Dr. Juan f. Vaca-
rezza, de Buenos Aires, dice: Me es
grato hacer constar ell buen resulta-
do que he obtenido con su prepara-

----- ---.s --ss-7-- ---- -.------ The Pleasure of Visits,

From the London Spectator.
 It IS pleasant sensation to wake up In the morning and feel that one is a guest. Strange wall papers and strange furniture surround ones bed, and there Is strange view out of the window All the jostling demons of worry, anx- iety and responsibility, whether domes- tic or professional, who stand ready to crowd upon our consciousness vanish in the unfamiliar environment. We have got away out of the claws of the usual, and lie blissfully waiting for knock at the door winch shall have an unfamiliar sound.
 Downstairs we find new faces, new pictures, strange books, fresh stand point. Life has a new savor. We taste it everywhere, in the atmosphere and in the conversation, even in the bread and the salt. Our first sensation is that everything depends upon some body else. It is nothing to do with us, whatever happens. But presently the old truism of our chiIdhood---that every situation in life has it's duties-comes back to our mind, and though with our waking thoughts we cast off those of the home dweller, we must immediate ly prepare to take on those of a guest at least if we are constitutionally conscientious, which, alas! all guests are not. They may, indeed, be divided by this conscience test into visiting sheep and visiting goats.
 The motto of the conscientious guest is Mme. Mohps well-known saying: Tt is shame to eat another mans bread and give him nothing in re- turn!" Such one should be a joy to his hostess, but in the holiday world of hosts and guests, as in workaday life, good intentions do not always in sure success-the conscientious some times fail where the unconscientious succeed.

Women in JournaIlsm.

In Hampers Weekly for September 12 Mrs. Florence Jackson, the editor of the Overland Monthly, writes instructively on ''The chances for Woman in Journalism" There is still heard at times, she says, an adverse criticism of womans work in Journalism-a criticism of it being done at all by woman. Tt is said that such work of the sort as woman have accomplished is trivial in character and unneeded, and that woman make 1t so by entering the profession without any proper equipment for 1t This criticism is somewhat true. Probably no calling Is generally entered upon with so little technical preparation for 1t. Men have a better chance of sue cess because, while they may be un- trained for certain calling. they have the 'all-round training which rubbing against the world. physically and ment- ally, has given them; and this stands them In good stead of special preparation. This kind of schooling 1t is safe to say, woman are as yet totally without If a woman's life has not fitted her to meet rebuffs with a placid front, to disregard sights, to travel alone day or night with independence of mind, then she has not gained that wide mindedness. that ability to view dispassionately the many-sided tragedy and comedy of everyday exls- tance, that sympathy with the good and and pity for the bad. that understanding of motives, that every student of the world must acquire if able creative work Of any sort is to be done. But this takes long to learn, and women have been in

ORIGIN OF DIAMONDS.
Precious Stones Visitors and Not Ma
 lives of the Earth.

From the New York Times.
 The diamond has recently attained a scientific importance which justifies any effort to solve the mystery of its origin. In 1898, before the American Association for the Advancement of Science at Bos- ton, in advancing the theory of their meteoric formation, offered the first ex- planation ever suggested. The facts were then sufficient to sustain 1t, and the re- cent discovery of the most perfect dla- mond ever found In a known meteorlte has demonstrated what I then maintain ed that diamonds are visitors and not natives of the earth.
 It is now positive that in interplanetary space are bodies and conditions where diamonds are manufactured of more perfected formation than any found on the earth The only question possible to raise against my theory is. Are all dia- monds of meteoric origin? As the evi- dence now stands, 1t is all Tn faVor oI their celestial origin, and no fact IS found to give testimony to the other side. The volcanic theory IS untenaple for many reasons, and 1t is the only al- formative to offer.
 Diamonds cannot be formed in the presence of oxygen, and the necessary conditions of heat, pressure and electrl- cal energy, while they are all possible in volcanic action, were never succeeded by sudden cold, which is equally re- aulsite to the formation of the diamond crystal as proved by Moistan in Paris, and Kronchoff, in Russia. The reasons that they are not of terrestal origin, and must have been formed under con- ditions never possible in the earth, are these:
 1. Oxygen is everywhere present 2. Sudden cold never succeeded intense heat, as terrestial temperature changes are slow in operation.
 3. They cannot possibly be reconciled with any of the eras of geology. and have been denied a place by all geolog- ists.
 4 They are always isolated. and are never found in masses of carbon, so com mon in all parts of the earth.
 5. They are consequently never found in matrix, where they could have been manufactured, as is the case with all other crystals.
 6. They have different refractive powers in their interior and exterior layers ow- ing to tension. during their formation, according to Sir David Brewster and others later.
 [. As conclusive they have a different law of specialization from carbon of known terrestrial character and forma- tion. This the air, and the diamonds Of the meteoric origin as the meteoric forms of iron and other minerals tell of their celestial birth.
 S.. The diamonds of Kimberley are liable to crack or fly to pieces on coming into the air, and the diamonds of the mete- oric in Arizona have done the same. This establishes most remarkable relationship and proves them all to have been sub ject to a pressure unknown to any ter restial era which they have experienced
 g. A perfect diamond was never found except in a meteoric. They are all frag- mentary. broken, Assured, corroded and coated with foreign material, differing in individual cases and localities.

use there, and the most striking single development is the electrical farm.
 Take, for example, the Quendnau farm, which covers 45O acres, and it's dairy handles 1000 gallons of milk daily Every part of the farm is lighted by electricity, and is in telephonic communication with every other part. The dairy has an elec- trical churn; the barn contains electrical ly operated feed and carrot cutting ma chimes, and even the grlndstone is turned by small belt from the shaft connect- ed with the barn motor.
 The water-pumping apparatus is run by electricity; all the buildings are lighted by incandescent lamps, and there is an electrical indicator at the doors of all the houses. This farm has all it's own thrashing and grist mill, the machinery of which is turned by current from the miniature central station; and finally there is small sawmill, which gets it's power from the same station. On the farm are all kinds of electrical agricul- tural machines.
 The power of all these various opera tions-lighting. heating, telephones. churning, cutting, grinding, pumping, thrashing and sawing-comes from 50- horsepower stationary engine working two dynamos. From this station the power is distributed to all parts of the farm, and the switchboard is so plainly regulate the supply to fit the need.

Three SIeepIess Niuhts.

The late Peter M. Arthur, chief of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, was born in Scotland, but his humor was of an Irish rather than a Scottish sort. MT. Arthur was a good deal of humorist, many anecdotes of him having been cir culated in Cleveland since his death.
 One of these anecdotes concerns night that he once passed without sleep-a night of hard work. wherein he averted a great strike.
 An assistant in sentimental tone, sym pathized with MT. Arthur for his loss of rest. Tt is too bad" he said. NO man should be driven like this. A whole night without sleep You will break down.
 MT. Arthur disliked sentimentalism- coddling-profoundly. He said with a frown
 Tt isn't one night I have gone without sleep. It's three nights"
 "Three nignts?" said the other. dow so?"
 why" said MT. Arthur, Hast night. tonight and tomorrow night-I haven't slept wink In one of them"
