Hear Plants Grow.

Two Germans have discovered
method by which they can hear plants
grow. In the apparatus the growing
plant is connected with disk. having
in it's center an indicator which moves
visibly and regularly, and this on
scale fifty times magnitied denotes the
progress and growth. Both disk and
indicator are metal, and when brought
in contact with an electric hammer,
the electric current being interrupted
at each of the divided intersltices OF
the disk, the growth OF the plant is ai
perceptible to the ear as to the eye.-

Putting food into a diseased stomach Is
like putting money into a pocket with holes.
The money is lost. All Its value goes Ior
nothing. When the stomach is diseased
with the allied organs of digestion and nutrl-
ton, the food which is put into it is largely
lost. The nutriment is not extracted from
it. The body is weak and the blood impov-
erished.
The pocket can be mended. The stomach
can be cured. That sterling medicine Tor
the stomach and blood, Doctor Pierce
Golden Medical Discovery, acts with pecui-
iar promptness and power on the organs OF
digestion and nutrition. 1t is positive cure
for almost all disorders of these organs, ana
cures also such diseases of the heart, blood
liver and other organs, as have their cause

ach.

HOW TO WIN A HUSBAND.

Woman's sphere in this goth century is

The M0rmOns Scored.

Senat or Kearns of Utah, who retires
March 4, delivered in 1.-THE senate on
February %, bitter speech against
the Mormon church. Senator kearns
addressed the senate concerning the
anti polygamy resolution introduced
by Mr.. Dubois of Idaho. The Wash

declared that the Mormon leaders had
broken every pledge they made when
Utah was given statehood, and accused
President Smith of the church with
setting up a monarchical institution
within the republic. 1t is the duty OF
the senate of the United States to serve
notice on this church monarchy that IL
must live within the laws, that the ma

on which statehood was granted must
be preserved invlolate,' he declared.
Senator Kearns recited the pledges
given by the people of Utah, as fol-
lows: "That the Mormon leaders would
| live within the laws pertaining to
plural marriage and the continued
plural marriage relation and that they
would enforce this obligation upon all
of their followers, under penalty OF dis
fellowship. That the leaders of the
Mormon church would no longer exer

lowers would be free and would exer

Hotel Guests Sudden Transformation
and Its Serious consequences.

and Its Serious consequences.
A New York special to the Wash
ington Post says:
A thin little old man put up at Smith
Il McNell's hotel on Washington
street last night. He was SO consump-
tive looking that the kind hearted
chambermaid put an extra blanket on
his bed. Manager Waddell saw him
enter and cracked joke with the night
CLERK about his silky Dundreary whis
kers.
The next morning the manager saw
his guest depart, but he had to rub his
eyes to make sure it was the same
man. The thin and cadaverOus indl-
vidual had been metamorphOsed into
a corpulent old man. He had SO many
suspicious protuberances that the
manager called policeman and the
guest was taken back to his room and
searched.
Wrapped around his body they
found the blankets. Four pillow cases
incased his calves. Two pairs of sheets
were folded on bis chest. A large
bedspread filled up the hollow Of his
back and his arms were swollen with
towels. In his pockets were half a
dozen cakes of soap and the soap dish.
The manager was relieved to find bed
and bureau in place.
The old man was hurried to police
headquarters. There they found that
his name was Samuel J. KOenigan, and
his picture, which had been in the
rogues gallery for twenty years, was
numbered 157. His record showed
that he had served four terms in pris-
on for the same ofYense. He was held
for the grand jury.
