The lac of OuIuine,

People who suffer with the liver and
who get run down In nerve strength
sometimes complain that QuInlne does
them no good, says n physician. The
reason Ia this: When quinine passes
into the intestine Il Is acted on by the
bile and forms with II salt that Is
soluble only In great excess of bile,
so II passes out of the system without
entering the blood at all. To prevent
this bilious persons ought to clear out
the bile by n good liver pill or saline
purgative before the quInine Is taken.
Even when the liver is not affected II
Is always best TO take such medicines
before using quinine.

THE. ATMOSPHERE.
Pirs, Attempt to weigh II Was Made
by Aristotle.

~ tFi@tbtts'
II We are 10 believe both legend and
history the first attempt 10 weigh air
was that made by Aristotle the great
Greek philosopher Of the nth century,
He tirst weighed nn einpiy goatskin
bag and then inflated II and again put
II IN the balances, ana because he
found no difference In weight under
the two conditions announced TO the
world that air was Substance wholly
without weight.
With modern laboratory apparatus
most any high school acholar can dem
onatrate the fact that a flask Of ten
cubic inches capacity weighs fully
three grains more when fIlcd with air
than II does after being placed under
the exhaust Of an mir pump. The nu'
merous experiments that have been
made on the weight OF air warrant the
scientists In announcing that the
weight OF the whole terrestrial atmos'
phcre Is about equal 10 that Of n solid
copper ball slxiy.two miles In diameter
The philosophers have also shown that
the weight of the atmosphere must be
limited 10 where gravity overcomes the
centrifugal force. II II were OF equal
density throughout its height above the
earth, II could not extend greater alti'
t,ido than 2Tsis feet, which would
leave about 100 feet Of Mount Ever
est sticking out above the atmosphere
II IN n well known fact, however. that
air loses Its weight and density as we
ascend from the sen level. and calcula'
tions which have been made on that
basis 10 to show that there may be q
stratum OF very thin air at height OF
2i,000 miles.

The Last Long Sleep.

Familiarity with death is apt to alter
ones earliest conceptions of-is.: Two
ideas are very generally accepted which
experience shows to be false. One Is
that the dying usually fear death and
the other that the act of dying Is ac-
companied by pain. 1t is we'll known
to all physicians that "nen death IS
near it's terrors do not seem to be felt
by the patient. Unless the Imagination
is stimulated by the frightful portrayal
Of the supposed "pangs Of death or Of
the suferings which some believe the
soul must endure after dissolution it is
rare indeed that the last days or hours
Of life are passed in dread.
Most sick persons are very, very tired.
Sieep-long. quiet sleeps what they
want. have seen many people die. +
have never seen one who seemed to
fear death, except when it was or seem
ed to be rather far away. Even those
who are constantly haunted while
strong and we'll with dread of the
end Of life forget their fear when that
end is at hand.-scribner's Magazine.

A Spool OF Thread.

To make a spool of thread, says a
manufactured, Is complicated process.
Only the very best cotton can be used
for this purpose. The cotton IS taken
in the raw state and torn all to pieces
by a machine called breaker. It then
goes through several other machines.
By which it is carefully combed and
freed from impurities. i machine
called slipper takes it up and twists
it out into soft white yarn. This is
carefully combeI again, and It IS taken
into another department. where se7-
eral small strands Of this yarn are
twisted into one fine one. Three Of
these are twisted together, and you
then have six cord thread, which, after
it Is bleached, is ready for the market

Early Autograph Hunters.

\ certain -Atossa in early Roman days
seems to have been the mother Of au-
tograph collectors. Cicero had q collec-
ton, which must have been fine one,
for he speaks Of it with particular
pride The fever, even in those far
back days, was contagious. Pliny
speaks Of Pompeius Secundus, at
whose house he had seen autographs
OF Cicero, Augustus, Virgil and the
Gracchi, and his own collection was
valued at $4,000 Of our money. Then
came the inrush Of barbarians, and we
do not again meet with the collector
until the beginning Of the sixteenth
century, when be reappears in the per-
son Of Bohemian squire, who kept a
book:to record his exploits in the chase
