ETHER AFFECTS PLANTS.
Scientific Tests Prove That It Hastens
Their Development and Short
ems Winter Rest.

BY series of experiments DR.. J. TO-
hansen. professor Of vegetable physiol-
ogy at the Copenhagen agricultural COL
lege, has established the fact that under
the influence of ether or chloroform
plants shorten their period Of hibernal
rest and develop foliage,and blossoms
from two weeks to as many months be-
fore the normal time.
Prof. Johapnsen found that plants are
most susceptible to the influence Of
anaesthetics toward the end of their
period Of rest, and-that no noticeable re-
suits can be obtained If plants are sub
jected to the influence Of ether or chloro-
form before they have entered upon the
period Of rest OF after they have begun
their spring activity. -
Lilacs, etherized at the end Of July,
after they had reached their rest period,
but while they were still in leaves, Slost
their foliage rapidly and at once began
to develop new leaves. In five to eight
days they had new foliage and q few
days later were in full bloom, while
Illacs not treated with ether did not de-
yelop to maturity until 20 or more days
later. ~
Chloroform seems to act more. ener-
getically than ether and its use is pref
cradle from an economic point of view.
Some florists in France and Germany
have already begun to. make practical
use Of the accelerating effect of anaes-
thetics upon plants and have obtained
gratifying results with lilacs. snowballs,
azaleas, deutzias, glycinium. and many
other dower-bearing shrubs.

For Growing Girls

West Pembroke, Me, March 2l.-Ms.
A. i: Smith, Of this place, says that
Dodd's Kidney Pills are the best remedy
for growing girls. Mrs. Smith emphasizes
her recommendation by the following ex-
perience:
My daughter was thirteen years old
last November and it il now two years
since she was first taken with Crazy
Spells that would last week and would
then pass of. In month she would have
the spells again. At these times she
even the whites of her eyes would be vel
low:
THE doctors gave us no encouragement,
they all said they could not help her.
After taking one box of Dodd's Kidney
Pills, she has not had one bad spell. OF
course, we continued the treatment un-
til she had used in all about dozen
boxes, and we still give them to her oc-
casionally, when she is not feeling well.
Dodd's Kidney Pills are certainly the best
medicine for growing girls"
Mothers should heed the advice of Mrs.
Smith, for by SO doing they may save
and ensure healthy happy future for
them.

MAGNET IN AN OPERATION.
Patients Life Saved by Drawing Up
a Nail He Had Swallowed.

The story OF a curious surgical oper-
alton at the st. Antoine hospital has
been communicated to the London sur
gical society. The patient swallowed
a packing nail, which was shown by
an X-ray photograph to have lodged,
head downward, at the level of the
seventh rib.
A bronchoscope, which consists of
q tube, the inner surface of which is
highly polished to serve as a reflector
and an electric lamp arranged so as
to throw a strong light on the tube,
was passed into the bronchial tube
anI then withdrawn.
This process was repeated for six
days with larger and larger tubes; and
then an eight millimeter tube was in
serted to a depth of nearly Is inches.
A magnet had been specially made to
put into the tube, but it was too short
to fit and the coughing of the patient
forced a suspension of the operation.
A second X-ray photograph showed
that the nail had now slipped to the
level of the eighth rib. The doctors,
therefore, performed the operation of
temporary ~tracheotomy.
A 10 millimeter tube was introduced
to a depth of Ia inches. The magnet
was introduced and the nail adhered
to it. The whole operation lasted only
five minutes and saved the patients
life.-New York Sun.

Has Been Invented.
7 These Remedies Do Not Reach the

Tx. y. s. Senator NJ. G. Butler from

The only rational way to cure dyspepsia
is to remove the catarrh. Peruna cures
catarrh. Peruna does not produce arti-
ticial digestion. 1t cures c%atarrh and
leaves the stomach to perform digestion
in a natural way. This is vastly better
and safer than resorting to artificial meth
DDS or narcotics.
Peruna has cured more cases of dyspep-
STA than all other remedies combined,
simply. because it cures catarrb wherever
located. If catarrh is located in the head,
Peruna cures it. If catarrh has fastened it.
self in the throat or bronchial tubes,
Peruna cures it. When catarrh becomes
settled in the stomach, Peruna cures it,
as well in this location as in any other.
Peruna is not simply a remedy for
dyspepsia. Perunia is a catarrh remedy.
Peruna cures dyspepsia because it is gen
orally dependent upon catarrh.

FOUND ANCIENT INDIAN JAR.
Rare Specimen Recently Discoveries
In New York State.

W. iNSW tOTK ObdICs
r. Horracks of Fonda, N. Y, while
stalking deer during the last hunting
season at the Little Falls of the up
per waters of the Sacondaga, near
Lake Piseco, caught in . hcavy down
pour of rain, was Obliged to seek
shelter from the storm under the
lodges of the Little Falls. While sit
ting there his attention was attracted
to what seemed to be a round, brown
bowlder partly covered with moss.
Carelessly striking it, it gave forth a
hollow sound. His curiosity being
excited, he dug away the earth with
his hunting knife and soon laid bare
a symmetrically formed earthen jar.
The jar stands ten inches high. At
its largest circumference it measures
thirty inches, and at it's smallest
twenty inches. The circumference of
the top or mouth of the jar measures
twenty-four inches.
The vessel on the inside bears signs
OF use, but the outside shows no trace
OF fire, as is usual in Indian jars. The
bottom is rounded. The ornamentation
around the top is Of the usual style
OF the Mohawk pottery-that is, a
series Of straight and diagonal lines.
The jar stall bears the moss that had
gathered on the rounded bottom that
was exposed above the earth.
The jar is a well preserved speci-
men of Mohawk pottery, and is rare
on account of the shape Of the top,
which is cut in three curves, forming
three points, which give it a triangu-
lar Observation-Disclosures Morning
