New Paper-Making Material.

Interest has been created in AIatamor-
as. Mexico. by the suggestion that the
fiber of the papSya. commonly known as
the Mexican pawpaw. would probably
afford an admirable material fer the
manufacture of high-srade paper. The
fiber IN question is the full length of the
tree trunk and appears to be quite strong
and rather silky in texture. With the
exception of the bark and small pithy
heart. the trunk i composed entirely Of
this tbrouS material Some samples of
the fiber have been seat to mn American
paper expert and manufacturer with the
purpose of having it tested with refer

far more Eng.sh than Russian. She

handsome lady, considerably older than
her husband. She goes very little into
society and, indeed. is so rarely seei

that the admiral was 4 bachelor. and the

LOSS OF APPETITE
Cold Sweats, Twitching Nerves and

Pink Pills.

Nature Furnishes every iufractiOn Of
her laws, and careless habits easily lead
to the condition described by Mr. vii,
liam Browne, of No. 1919 Lincoln street,
st. Joseph, Mo. Mr. Browne is an ex-
pert timer in the employ of the National
Biscuit Co. He gives the following ac-
count of trying experience:
:" In the spring of 1902" he says,
"while / was regularly working at my
trade, grew somewhat careless in my
habits of eating and drinking, and finally
found that my appetite was tickle, a bad
taste fingered in my mouth, my nerves
twitched and were beyond my control
my kidneys We're out Of order and cold
sweats would break out over my body at
odd times. Perhaps, while stood talk
ing with some one, this trembling
of the limbs, and profuse sweating, aud
a severe chill would seize me. | became
alarmed at my condition and, having
read an endorsement of DR.. Williams
Pink Pills, / got box and began to use
them. They helped me at once. After
/ had used one box the twitching OF the
nerves, the trouble with the stomach
and the cold sweats stopped and have
not reappeared, and my appetite IS good.
Ihave told all my friends that DR.. VIII

mend them to everybody"
DR.. Williams Pink Pills cured Mr.,
Browne because nothing can strengthen
the nerves except good rich, red blood

The Moon Uninhahitea

The moon being much the nearest 10
us of all the heavenly bodies. we can
pronounce more definitely in its case
than i'll any other. We know that nei-
Their air nor water exists on the moon
in qualities sufficient to be perceived
by the most delicate tests at our com
mand. 1t is certain that the moons
atmosphere, if any exists, is less than
the thousandth part of the density of
that around ms. The vacuum is greater
than any ordinary air-pump is canable
of producing. We can hardly SUPPOSE
that so small a quantity of air could
be of any benefit whatever in sustaining
life: an animal that could get along Oh
so little could get along on none at all
But the proof of the absence of life
is yet stronger when we consider the
results of actual telescope observation.
An object such as an ordinary city block
could be detected on the moon. If
anything like vegetation were present
on its surface we should see the changes
which it would undergo in the course of
month, during one portion Of which il
would be exposed to the rays of the an
cl0uded sun and during another to the
intense cold of space.-prof. Simon
NeWcomb in Harpers Magazine

Famous Swiss Avalanches.

One of the most famous Swiss ava
lanches and one which only falls in very
snowy seasons is the Schwalbentobel-
lawine. In 1888 this avalanche fell near
Glarus-Davos, destroying life and prop
erty and carrying all before it. The
mass was estimated to be over 100000
cubic feet in bulk, while the tunnel
which was afterwards cut through it to
allow the traffic to pass along the valley
road was over 300 feet long.
The Simplon, always noted for the
serious avalancbes falling from the
tIletschhon glaciers, was, early in July,
the scene of an immense fall of snow
and rock owing to the bursting of Il gia :
cler lake on the BOdmer.
