Arful Fate Of the Lazy Little Sea

Among marine animals are a very large num-
Der Of creatures little interesting when grown

lumpy cactuses' says 1.-THE London Spectator"
''They have no eyes, ears or limbs, but look
like little feshy sacks tied up tightly at the top
and fixed to a rock or the mud at the bottom.
They are called tunicata, or jacketed animals
and many of them ascidians, sacklike animals,
they do not become greatly more Interesting
There is an orifice at the top into which sea
water comes and another at the side from which
1t flows out; and when cut open they are found
to be built UP only OF double jacket, Inside Of
which is another sack, rather deliberately made
to pass currents OF water from part to part.

brought them to end. So slumbrous ever
since has been the business life of the town, so
undsturbed by house wreckers and skyscraper

show little change from century to the

A TRINITY OF EVILS.
Cured by Cal. cura Solvent, the Great New
Medicine, After Other Treatment Had Failed.
Your Money Back II II Does Not Cure.

Mr.. Martin Montgomery, of Silvara, Pa,
formerly of Roxbury, N. Y, writing to DR..
David Kennedy, of Kennedy Row, said:
"Your ne,o medicine, Cal-cura Solvent,
is wonderful. 1t cured me of liver and kid
ney troubles, and rheumatism, after a lot of
weary dosing with things that did no good.
1t is a record bresker and no mistake"
As in Mr.. Montgomery's case, rheuma-
tism is often, indeed almost always, COM
plicated with kidney and liver trouble.
1t is because Cal-cura Solvent acts on the
kidneys and liver and at the same time ex-
pels uric acid from the blood, that it is such
a reliable remedy for rheumatism and the
attendant disorders. 1t cures by removing
the cause. therefore the cure is permanent,
safe and sure.
If your druggist does not have Cal-cura
solvent, write to the Cal-cura Company,
Rondout, NY. but ask your druggist first.

A WOODEN INTRODUCTION.
How GninsborouEh Got Acquainted
viii, TbIckncsse.

GainsborOugh. th" artist. was born
ut Sudbury, In England, and there
says Lord Ronald Cover, he designed
mis- first work OF art. The orchard of
his fathers place had been repeatedly
plundered Of fruit. No one knew who
the thief might he until one day young
GalnsbOrOugh saw there a rough look
ing man leaning his elbows on the
brick wall. lie made Il sketch OF the
fellow, and from this portrait the thief
was afterward identified.
Later the boy cut out a rough figure
from wood and painted 1t In oils in the
likeness of this man. The scarecrow
was known as Jack Peartree." 1t
probably represents Gainsborough's
first attempt at working in oils.
II was the means of introducing the
artist to one OF his most intimate
friends, Thicknesse, the lieutenant gov
ernor OF the Landguard fort, near Ips-
wich. Thickncsse was one day walk
ing with Il friend when he perceived
what seemed to be melancholy faced
countryman. with his arms locked to-
gojhcr, leaning over the garden wall.
lie poiI~ed out the doeful figure to
his companion. who. il seems. was nc
quaintcd with ii.
"Ilc has been there all day" said the
gentleman. II pity him. lie must be
either mad or very miserable"
1hlCkncsSe insisted on approaching
the wretched man and TO his delighted
surprise found him to be Jack Pear
tree. SO charmed was he with Jack
that he lost no time in becoming ac-
qua inted with the author of Jacks be-
ing with the result OF a warm and
lasting friendship

HORSEPOWER.
The Init nv ~ WINS Originated aud
Defined by WAIT.

When steam engines were employed
to drive mills. pumps ana other ma
chin"ry which had been previously
driven by horses, il was natural To at
tempt 10 express the work done by
them in terms of the working power
of the horse
James Watt was the first To define
tn" unit of horsepower, which by cx-
pertinent ho found 10 be $4,000 foot
pounds a minute. In other words.
one horsepower engine would raise
$4,000 pounds one foot every minute.
ana 80 on proportonally to the number
Of "horscpowers" indicated by the en-
glnc
He arrived at this conclusion by oh
serving the work done by heavy dray
horses m brcwerics working eight
hours daily and found that horse 20
iug at the rate of two miles and half
an hour could raise n weight of $50
pounds 10y Il rope led over pulley,
which Is equal To $4,000 pounds raised
one FOOT in one minute
Watt, for the credit of his engines,
selected horses of more than average
power.
