Remarkable Curative Properties Of a

stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, a prepa-

1t Is not a cure all, but for any stom-
ach trouble 1t is undoubtedly the SAT-

advised with the prospect Of a per-
manent cure. 1t is prepared in tablet
form, pleasant to taste, composed Of
vegetable and fruit essences, pure pep

SLEEPING PLANTS

Plants sleep much the same as ami
mails Their sleep is quite real, and its
reality can be shown. Perhaps the best
marked form of sumber in the Vege-
table world is that of the great winter
rest. when so many species retire alto
gether under the sheltering soil, and
there lie dormant side by side with the
sumbering animals. How does the long
winter rest of animals differ, after all
from the winter rest of the crocus or
the hyacinth, which withdraw all the
living material from their leaves in
autumn and bury themselves inches
deep in the soil III the shape of bulb

leaves and flowers out again? The
whole vast class of Dubious and tuber-
Gus plants, indeed-the lilies, orchids

bells and snowdrops-are they not just
alternating creatures, which retire un-
derground in autumn with the slugs

SOME TEMPERANCE STATISTICS

Investigations made by the depart
ment of labor into the attitude of
large corporations on the liquor ques-
ton have recently been made public
Circulars were addressed to large
employers of labor throughout the
country. Many circulars, as usually
happens, were unanswered; but over
1000 establishments, employing 100000
persons, took the trouble to reply In
transportation lines alone 719 employ
ers replied, representing 45S,0O0 en-
ployes. OF those who answered the
specific inquiry regarding liquor 1858
reported that means were taken to as
certain the habits of employees and 1894
stated that they prohibited, either in
whole or in part, the use of intoXicat-
ing drinks by their employees. In very
few of these cases did the motive of
philanthropy or public spirit seem to
count for much. Sobriety was insisted
upon from motives of purest self-ln-
terest OF those who restricted their
employees only twenty-eight gave as
their reason, ITO make good example
for their employees" second, ITO guard
against temptation" and third, For
the good of employees"

ISLAND OF SULPHUR

About thirty miles from the shore in
the bay of Plenty, North Island, New
Zealand. an immense rock or rather
series of rocks, three miles in cir
cumference, rises precipitously from the
sea to a height of $50 feet. 1t is a
desolate island, only inhabited by the
wild sea fowl and almost forgotten
save by the few men who occasionally
visit the island to mine the sulphur.
White Island is the name given to this
spot, and certainly it would be difficult
to hit upon a more applicable title, in
in thick, impenetrable clouds of white
vapor, which rise more than 10000 feet
in height, thus making White Island n
conspicuous object for many miles
around. The island is practically one
mass of sulphur, while the clouds of
vapor constantly issuing from the
craters are highly charged with sui
phuric and hydrochloric acid fumes, so
powerful at times that the sulphurous
odor can be discerned sixty miles away.
So impressive is it's appearance from
the sea and so abruptly do the rocks
rise from the waters edge that at first
sight it seems impossible to effect a
landing, but as the steamer sweeps
around the southern side of the island
into Crater bay a beach comes into
view, small, it is true, but sufficient to
admit of Decentralization, provided the
sea be calm. This is the only level
stretch of land on the island, the rest
being nothing but towering, irregular
rocks.

CLIFF CLIMBING FOR BIRDS EGGS

Any young man in search of a call
ing which would combine daring and
plenty of nerve could not do better
than become one of the climbers who
search the Yorkshire cliffs for sea
birds eggs. The entire length of the
cliff is rented during the breeding
season by two or three separate lots
of climbers who have great respect
for each others rights. The man
about to descend to gather the eggs
gets into a kind of leather breeching
which fastens about his waist. and to
this a long, thin, strong rope is at
tached. A strong running iron pulley
is fastened into the edge of the cliff,
so that the rope shall work easily and
run no risk of being frayed by rubbing
against the sharp edge of the cliff.
Three of his companions, having dug
their heels firmly into the soil a few
feet away from the edge of the cliff,
sit down one behind the other; the
first man wears a stout piece of leather
around his body round which COM
plete turn of the rope is taken, and
the other men assist him in paying out
or hauling up the rope, as the case
may be. The third man also has in
his charge the signal rope by which
the egg gatherer intimates his desire
to ascend or descend. There is little
danger in the business. The ropes
are carefully tested and well tended,
and even should the climber turn
turtle he cannot fall from the leather
preaching. The only danger is from
stones falling upon the head which
have been dslodged by the pulley
above. These men become very ex-
pert in swinging about to reach the
lodges.

rREApMlLL AS A PUNISHMENT

The treadwheel is still in vogue at
many English prisons. Within the walls
is a little building, built of blue-gray
stone, standing somewhat apart from
the main structure in a corner of the
exercise ground and prison garden. ON
the chocolate colored door is painted in
white letters the two words wheel
House, AS the door opens the dull,
grinding sound that we heard outside
grows a little louder and clearer. The
door closes behind us with the newt
able clash and click of the returning
bolt. The house is an apartment some
thirty feet long and fifteen wide. On
the left hand side are the wheels, four
of them, in two tiers, divided by a
galley running the whole length of the
house and communicating with the
floor by a staircase at the opposite end
On the right hand side there is another,
lower and shorter, gallery, on which
stands the warder in charge. The
wheels are separated by a section of
brick wall.
Each wheel is divided into compart-
ments cutting off each prisoner from
the other. The object of this is to prA-
vent the prisoners from seeing ard
hearing each other, although converse"
tion in low voice, pitched in diff
ferent key to that of "the music of the
wheel" is perfectly easy and intel
ligible.

GREWSOME DANCE

The death dances of the Thibetan
mystery plays, one of which is per-
formed on the last three days of the
year, are called the ceremony of the
sacrificial body of the dead year" The
effigy of a man made of dough, as
lifeless as possible and having inside
a distinct heart and all the entrail5
filled with red fluid is placed by four
cemetery ghouls in sight of the nu-
merous spectators in the center of the
yard and at once bands of skeleton
ghosts rush upon the corpse to at
the necromantic power of Lamaism
over the evil spirits. Monks and lameS
come forth and go through a series
of ceremonies, the magic effect of
which keeps the fiends away. But
more forlnida BILE devil with great horns
and possessed of superior powers
makes his appearance and takes the
field. Whereupon saint or an incar-
nation of Buddah himself comes to
the rescue, sprays flour on the enemy,
makes mystic signs and utters incan-
tations. The skeleton ghosts and the
big fiend grovel before him and ilu-
plore mercy. He graciously yields to
their supplications and allows them
TO partake of a sacramental meal.
While they kneel before him he gives
to each one of them a little flour to
eat and a drink out of vessel of holy
water

HUMAN FUEL

In India the gross superstitions pre-
vailing among the natives frequently
produces horrible tragedies. Occasion
ally they come to light. In the up
country town of Hingoli, in the Deccan,
Is a cotton ginning mill owned by ma
tives. one of the proprietors, a Parsee
named Nowrojee, looked after the en-
gines and machinery of the mill. Late
ly, the machinery had not been working
well and the engine in particular had
given considerable trouble. The ma
tive engineers seem to have got it into
their heads that the engine was really
driven by a god which took the form
Of steam. When it went wrong they
thought the god was angry and needed
propitiating by the sacrifice of a hu-
man being. one night hindoo labor
er named Govindah was passing the
mill. Some workmen sitting in the
yard smoking called out to him to
join them. The gang had just been
discussing the vagaries of the engine
and the necessity for Offering a sacri-
flee to it. The whole party walked to-
ward the boiler, and some of the men
seized Govindah. Others swung open
the furnace door and the unfortunate
man was crammed inside, head first
They had to lose their hold on his
body in order to shut the furnace door
whereupon Govindah, who was a very
powerful man, managed to get out and
free himself. He was frenzied with
pain and fear and sustained ghastly
injuries. The engineers did not make
a second attempt to thrust him into
the furnace and he crawled away to
his hut.

CAPITAL PUNISHMENT

Capital punishment came near to be-
ing abolished the other day in France
on account of the expense, and the cost
of the institution does certainly seem
rather high. The chief executioner
draws a salary of $1,000 a year. He has
two first-class assistants each drawing
$500 year, and three second-class as
sistants, each drawing $500 a year. II
addition to this the executioner draws
$3.50 and each assistant draws $16O a
day for expenses when operating in the
provinces, while the stabling of the
guillotine costs $500 a year, and an
Algerian eXecutioner is salaried at the
same figure as his Partisan colleague.

In the course of a day a person
breathes about twenty-six hundred
gallons of air weighing thirty-four
pounds, which is about six times the
average amount of food and drink con-

foolish to be constantly on guard
against adulterated food and impure
water and to allow your neighbor to
pollute the atmosphere because it is
cheaper for him in his business.
