Bo tons Earthquake Of 1855.


The earth at first seemed to be lift

crash like peal of thunder.
Superstitious Bostonians thought

Although the houses Of that day

Chimneys, though built regardless OF

exercising properly, will do this more
effectually than most panaceas, which
may cure one i'll. but leave another

by proper diet and care. Take the
deep breathing exercise night and
morning before an open window,
drinking two glasses Of cold water

Office Boys Dabble in Wall Street.

THE WORLDS LONGEST TREsTLE.
Through Americas Dead Sea Runs
Railroad.

Right through Great Salt Lake-the
railroad. The actual length of this.
the longest trestle in the world, Is
twelve miles 1t contains 25,0G0 piles,
the longest single pile being SO feet
and the longest spliced pile 100 feet.
The cost of constructing this wonder
full piece of railroad was s5,OoO,0O0,
ind the time required to build it was
three years. At one place in the bed
of the lake thousands Of cars Of rock
were emptied without making the
least impression in the way of founda-
ton. In riding over this road-right
through the beautiful, sparkling Salt
Lake-one notices the absence of boats
of any kind, although the lake is over
one hundred miles in length and sew
enty miles across at it's widest place.
and one would think it afforded great
attractions for the sailor or oarsman.
But the fact is, rowing or sailing is al
most impossible on the surface of this
Dead sea, for it is so very heavy with
salt that navigation, or even SWIM
ming, is slow and laborious, rendering,
therefore, little pleasure for the pains.
If one dips up a pail of water from
Great Salt lake and lets it stand in the
sun till the water evaporates, there
will be found one-third of pail of
salt.

One on the Parson.

This is story which the late Dean
Hole was fond of relating. A vicar
went to preach for a friend, and in
the vestry afterward he said: II must
apologize for the brevity Of my SER

my study last night and ate several
pages of my manuscript" At this the
wardens giggled, but one of them,

KNOWS NOW.

Doctor Was Fooled BY He Own Case
for Time.
It's easy to understand how ordinary
people get fooled by coffee when doc
tors themselves sometimes forget the
facts.
A physician speaks Of his own ex-
perience:
Il had used coffee for years and
really did not exactly believe 1t was
injuring me, although l had palpitation
OF the heart every day.
Finally one day severe and al
most fatal attack OF heart trouble
frightened me and gave up both tea
and coffee, using Postum instead, and
since that time I have had absolutely
no heart palpitation except on one or
two occasions when tried small
quantity of coffee which caused severe
irritation and proved to me must let
1T alone.
When we began using Postum It
seemed weak-that was because we
aid not make it according to direc-
tons but now we put little bit sof
butter In the pot when boiling and al
low the Postum to boil full Is minutes
which gives It the proper rich flavor
and the deep brown color.
X have advised a great many Of my
friends and patients to leave of coffee
and drink Postum, in fact daily give
this advice" Name given by Postum
CO., Battle Creek. Mich.
Many thousands Of physicians use
Postum in place Of tea and coffee il
their own homes and prescribe 1t to
patients. There's reason.

enclosure was gay with drags and
coaches and carriages-the regiments
in the garrison had tea and luncheon
tents. Countess Ilka was there in
well-appointed landau from the hotel,
her old chaperon on the seat beside
her, and the other seat at the disposal
Of whoever it might tempt.
She was in a Partisan race gown that
put to the blush the hard lines OF coat
and skirt, severe in their gauntness, in
which so many of the other women
were clothed. Her hat was full OF
spring flowers and her carriage was
piled with them; she looked fresh and
smiling and dainty and fragrant as a
flower herself. Her carriage became
more and more encircled as the day
went on. She had an invitation from
each mess tent to luncheon, but she
had brought lavish hampers, and the
men she invited to share them were
not to be lured away by any other
bait The occupants of brakes and
coaches cast chances of interest and
perhaps little envy at the groups
about her landau and the mirth and
merriment that seemed to reign.
The Shuttelwaites were in their vic
toria. Mrs. Shuttelwaite moved pres.

isolated dignity not much patronized
by the younger part of the spectators,

He came and greeted them with pleas

few words to them but mostly he
was in the little improvised paddock

so seldom make his hurried way. Ur-
sula had to be content with distant
view of him, and much of that view
seemed to find him at Countess llka's
carriage. 1t was strange how often he
was called over there.

TeIephoning Herring.

A Berlin paper tells of a new device
that makes herring fishing easy A
microphone, which magnifies sounds,
is plunged into the sea to ascertain If
fish are passing that way. A wire
connects the submerged microphone
with an ordinary receiver, with which
one listens to what is going on in the
depths OF the sea. Excellent results
have been obtained in the North sea
by the invention for signaling the
passing of the herring shoals.

called the Countess Ilka Zulafski, and
was said to be Polish or Hungarian,

She was young, she was lovely, that

presumably. or she would not have
taken big house on the front and ex-
pressed to the ardent spirits who
rushed to call upon her, her desire to
entertain and to mix in Southsea soci-
ETY. She alluded without reticence to
her early Widowhood; her husband, it
was dimly understood, had been dis
tinguished officer, and much older
than herself. He had left her a for
tune and her freedom, and she was in
love with England and the English,
and had come to make her home bera
for the rest of her days.
She was beautiful--that has thrice
been repeated, but it was SO striking
fact that 1T ought to bear even more
reiteration than it has received. She
had charm OF personality which Is
the gift of SO many Continental wonl-
en-, and Is shared by their sisters
across the Atlantic, but not SO often
possessed by our less fortunate selves.
She had an elderly chaperon, who
spoke little English and was generally
absorbed In knitting intricate patterns
In the German stitch. Countess Ilka
received all her callers with sweet
graciousness, but was a little exclu-
sive as to who she called on in return
and to whom she sent cards. Southsea
was the more impressed by her exclu-
siveness.
y 1t was true that she did not get ask
ed to Government house, or Admiralty
house either, but great many resi-
dents called and accepted her little
dinners and invited her to their own.
She was greatly in demand as part
ner among the dancing men of the
garrison, who found her as perfect in
that art as she was IN many another,
