which the blockade is to be raised at
once. and all property taken
from Venezuela to be returned to her.

a remedy of untold value. Mr..
Hughes. who has been employed for

his back just across the loins 1t
hurt when he stopped or lifted and
morning after morning his back was
so lame and sore. particularly so if he
contracted a cold, that he was often
in misery. Doan's Kidney Pills pro-
cured at George f. Tiffany, Jr's drug
store so convinced him of their great
value that he has repeatedly stated
to me and to other people with whom
he was discussing the medicine, that
the remedy was the best he every
used. l have often had backache af-

Though one of the most nervous sing
ers that ever went before an audience,
Brignoli In his way was one of the
most conscientious. He refused to
sing II he did not feel that his voice

believer In homeopathy and was never

ing bryonia and the other spongla,
which he used alternately. His body
servant, Barbagelata, usually admin
Istered the drug.
On one occasion 1t happened that
Barbagelata gave him larger quantity
OF bryona than he had asked for, but,
like the faithful servant that he was.
he Informed his master of the mistake.
BrignOli was furious lie thought he
was n dead man. He raved and storm
ed and swore as only he could swear.
Barbagelata thinking to relieve his
mind, swallowed the entire contents of
the vial.
You see. Signor Brignoh, there Is no
harm In the medicine" he said.
"Ah. misery" cried Brignoli, forget
ting his own danger Mt once. you
are dead man. What have you
donci"
All the doctors In the nelghborhood
were sent for, and all had to testify
that the drug was harmless before
Brignoli would believe that Barbage-
lata could survive.

All trees display constantly anC
broadly their nature and the marks of
the class to which they belong. The
oak, elm, willow, birch beech, together
with poplar, chestnut and pine, are
among our native born trees, and those
most familiar to lis as the ancient land
marks. remembered so well In child
hood-the mulberry, olive, lick, hem
lock, spruce, apple, pear and cherry
trees-go to make up the almost sacred
circle of friends 50 dear to us because
they are monuments of other and hap
pier days.
The homestead and It's associations
recall all the dear old trees so fondly
cherished in days "lang syne" and so
dear to me now that 1t Is pleasant to
write what | know of their history,
utility and why they are valuable as
lumber or the more valuable mechan-
ical need which they meet. They all
afford the human race certain amount
of reliable service and are the founda-
ton Of many industries. They furnish
the ships that cover the ocean with
white sails and afford easy commu-
nicatlon with all nations. The arts
and sciences depend upon them for
substantial aid In completing palaces
and churches and all the grand and
lasting buildings which have dotted
the earth with beautiful cities aud
comfortable dwelling places for man.
And thus we find that the trees are

RUNNING TO A FIRE.
How the Horses Enjoy the Mad Dash
Through the Streets.


Every one who has watched FIRE horses
dashing through the streets In answer
to an alarm will admit that the ami
mails seem to enjoy the run. This idea
is brought out by Sewell Ford In
Horses Nine" as follows:
For Silver all other minor pleasures
in life were as nothing to the fierce
Joy he knew when, with a dozen men
clinging to the handrails, the captain
pulling the bellrope and Lannigan, far
up above them all, swaying on the lines
the Gray Horse truck swept up Broad
way to first call box.
Itswas like trotting to music IL you've
ever done that. Possibly you could
have discovered no harmony at all in
the confused roar of the apparatus as
1t Numbered past. But to the ears OF
Silver there were many sounds blend
ed into one. There were the rhythmical
beat Of hoofs, the low undertone of the
wheels grinding the pavement the
high note of the forged steel lock
opener as 1t hammered the footboard
the mellow dingdong of the bell, the
creak Of the forty and fifty foot extern
sions, the rattle of the iron shod hooks
the rat-tat-tat of the scaling ladders on
the bridge and the mutfied drumming
of the leather helmets as they jumped
In the basket.
With the increasing speed all these
sounds rose In pitch until, when the
team was at full swing, they became
one vibrant DEMONSTRATING, inspiring
exultant-the action song of the truck.

DISCUSSES OF NATURE.
The Qualify of Defense lis Found In
Every Animal.


By a decree of nature one-half the
world fiourishes at the expense of the
other half. The sparrow chases the
butterfly but the hawk chases the
sparrow For the problem OF life Is
twofold 1t Is not enough merely to
eat 1t is necessary to avoid being eat
en-. Yet nature detests killing for kill
ing's sake Massacre forms no part OF
her great plan. So we see that every
creature is provided with some more
or less effective quality of defense by
means of which the attacks OF Its nat
ural enemies are rendered less frequent
or less deadly.
Thus the antelope by means Of Its
superior speed at times escapes from
the lion The armadillo, rolled in Its
wondrous coat of mail, lies secure
among score of hungry, gnawing
foes, while the white hare, scarcely
distingushable from the snow on
which 1t crouches, Is often overlooked
by his foe, the fox. But of all creatures
none has received more ample protec-
ton than the insects. Some of them
possess stings, others bite. and few
puff out clouds of poisonous vapor to
stupefy or blind their pursuers. Again,
there are insects clothed In impenetra-
BILE armor insects covered with sharp
spines and prickles and others whose
means of defense consist in nothing
but a likeness to the objects which sur
round them.-Royal Magazine.

The Turks perhaps were the first PEG
pie to use ornamental burial grounds
such as we call cemeteries, but as to
when this custom was first adopted In
the land OF the crescent no one seems
to know. The earlier Jews buried their
dead In the earth, that method being
without doubt the most ancient burial
mode known to man. The very earliest
Egyptians seem TO have understood the
art of embalming and to have practiced
1t from time out of memory. The an
Client Greeks and Romans cremated the
body, the ashes only receiving sepul-
ture, except In case of Industrious war
riors, statesmen, etc, these latter being
buried unburned as Il special mark Of
favor.
Some ancient tribes preserved only
parts of the body and burned or buried
the remainder The parts retained and
preserved dried or in liquid, varied ac-
cordlng to tribal notions. With some
1t was the heart that was thought to
be too sacred for cremation or burial,
with others the liver, ears. nose, tongue
or fingers The Tartars OF 1000 years
ago preserved only the thumb and toe
nails of their dead.

uau saxarea Walk.

Savages always walk with their toes
turned in for two reasons. In the first
place the foot naturally falls In that
position when 1t has never been con-
fined by boots or the ankles distorted
by high heels In the long stride OF the
savage the leg swings freely like
pendulum round the center of gravity,
which Is somewhere between 1t and
the other leg. In the swing the abduc-
tor muscles of the inside of the thigh
bring the sole of the foot under the
center of gravity, and In doing so
slightly rotate the foot toward the In
ner line, turning the toe In. Conven-
ience is also on the side of the natural
position of the foot In the case of the
savage. for he has to do much walking
through long grass and underground In
forests.
A moments reflection will show how
very much his progress would be I'M
peded If he turned his toes out to catch
these obstacles instead OF brushing
them aside and outward as he now
does Lastly, the savage uses his foot
much more as a help to his hands than
we do, and 1t is obvious that In doing
thIs he must turn his toes In.

The Right Way TO Boil Water.

ITO boil water would seem to be
very simple thing" writes some one In
the Boston Cooking School Magazine,
"and yet the late Charles Delmonlco
used to say that very few people know
how to do 1t. The secret is he said,
in putting good fresh water into ket-
tie already quite warm, setting the wa
ter to boiling quickly and then taking
1t right off for use In tea, coffee or 9th
er drinks before 1t is spoiled. To let 1t
steam and simmer and eyaporate until
the good water Is In the atmosphere
and only the lime and iron and dregs
left In the kettle is what makes great
many people sick, and 1t is worse than
no water at ALL For water boiled Ike
this and favored with few drops Of
lemon Juice Mr. Delmonico used to
charge as much as for his best liquors,
and he often recommended II to his
customers and friends who complained
of loss of appetite. 1t is worth trying"

The Stockholm museum possesses an
interesting collection Of eyes taken

which are cut across in such way as
to exhibit plainly the internal and the
external eye. II is easy TO observe that
the eye OF a young child is as trans

little less so; IN the man of thirty the
eye begins to be slightly opaque. In the
