Tendency Of the Times.

The tendency of medical science is to.
ward preventative measures. The best
thought of the world is being given to
the subject. 1t is easier and better 10
prevent than to cure. 1t has been fully
demonstrated that pneumonia, one of the
most dangerous diseases that medical
men have to contend with, can be pre-.
vented by the use of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy. Pneumonia always re-
suits from a cold or from an attack of
Influenza tgrip), and it has been observ-
ed that this remedy counteracts any ten
dency Of these diseases toward pneumon-
ia. This has been fully proven in many
thousands of cases in which this remedy
has been used during the great prevail
ance of colds and grip in recent years,
and can be relied upon with implicit con-
fidence. Pneumonia often results from a
slight cold when no danger is apprehend-
ed until it is Suddenly discovered that
there is fever and difficulty in breathing
and pains in the chest. then it is an
nounced that the patient has pneumonia.
Be on the safe side and take Chamber

is contracted. 1t always cures. For

stage settings.
Many have asked, "Why Is Quincy

has invariably been, because it's diff

"But why is it differentf' "oh, every

The husking-bee scene alone would
win fame for the play. The real red ears,
the real kisses, the real supper and the
natural and humorous incidents attend
ing the features have pleased immense
audiences all over the country.
There is genuine comedy all through
the play, and the few touches of pathos
strike as true and convincing. The story
is simple and sweet one, appealing
to the heart. There is nothing in it ap.

JAPAN's LITERARY LINNos.
Subjects Of the Mikado Show Decided
Preference to the Writings Of
Carlyle.

The most widely known English
writer in Japan is Carlyle. Next TO
him comes Macaulay, says the Dundee
Advertiser. Emerson is admired by
some Of the English students, and we
see the influences of his writings
among many japanese journalists to-
day" Mill and Herbert Spencer have
had a tremendous influence upon the
thought of modern Japan" In poetry,
Tennyson, LOngfellow-his "Evangel-
inc" is heard from the lips Of any
little girl in a girls seminary in ia
pan"-Wordsworth, Byron and Mil
ton; and in fiction, Irving, Thackeray
and Dickens are best known. "Othel-
To-" Macbeth and The Merchant Of
Venice" have been translated by Prof
Yuzo TsubOuchi. Tolstoi has many
worshippers, and no one who is not
acquainted with German is regarded
as a scholar. Rousseau's "Contrat So
cial" was the book which first taught
the japanese the idea Of civil right and
liberty" A translation OF it has
been circulated in every japanese
home" The writer's of French fiction
and drama, on the other hand, do not
seem to find many friends in Japan"

lcFossiI Rain prons. y

In slabs Of Triassie rock little de-
pressions are often seen which have
been called fossil rain-drops," the
idea being that they we're formed by
showers on muddy sea beaches, and
preserved by being covered with q lay
er Of mud at the next high tide. But q
correspondent Of Nature, in England,
suggests in view Of recent observations
Of his on a food plain in the Dorm val
ley, that the supposed impressions Of
rain-drOps may really be due to pit
tings formed by bubbles in q film Of
mud at the bottom Of shallow water.
He has watched the formation Of many
such pittings, and found that after the
mud has dried they exactly resemble

HOW OIL PIPES ARE CLEANED
Conducts on Becoming Incrusted Are
Cleaned by a Revolving Knife
Passing Through Them.

The long pipes that carry crude Pc
troleum from the oil wells to the re-
ineries many miles distant are cleaned
by an ingenious device, says the Oma-
ha Bee. AS the oil flows through these
underground conduits some of the
parafln in the fluid incrusts the sides
of the pipe and proves a serious him
drance to the free passage Of the cur
rent of oil. The device that is used
to remedy this evil is a knife about
two feet in length, with a sharp edge,
constructed like the thread Of a screw;
indeed, the knife resembles a huge
headless screw. It is, Of course.
slightly smaller than the pipe through
which it is to pass.
When the thickness of the crust Of
parafin renders a cleansing necessary
this instrument is inserted in the pipe
st the oil fields. The pressure of the
stream Of oil drives it forward, revolv-
ing rapidly as it hurries along, and
scrapes the channels clean. II turns
and twists and cleanses in this manner
throughout its whole journey, and
finally drops from the pipes in the
midst of the vast stream of petroleum
that empties into the receiving tanks.
Its edges are duller than when ii set
out on its journey. but otherwise it is
in perfect condition. 1t is at once
shipped back to the oil wells, where it
is shsrpened and laid away until its
services are again needed.
