She Knew About Peter.

A visiting pastor was examining
the Sunday school of Germantown
church few Sundays ago and had
asked the class just in front of him
if any member of it could tell any,
thing about the Apostle Peter. A
little girl with a precocious face
raised her hand. "Come up here,
my little lady," said the minister.
Il am much gratifed to see that
you have remembered your lesson.
Now tell the school what you know
about Peter" The little tot was
quite willing to show off her knowl-
edge and commenced, 'Peter, Peter,
pumpkin eater, had a wife and
couldn't keep her; put her in a.
The school never heard where he
put her on account of the general
uproar.-Philadelphia Record.

Stones In Queer Places.

A round stone is found in the
joints Of certain kinds of bamboo.
This is called "tabasheer" and is
supposed to be deposited from the
sihceous juices of the cane. Anoth-
er curiosity of this sort is the "co-
coanut stone," found in the en-
dosperm Of the cocoanut in Java
and other East Indian islands. 1t is
a pure carbonate of lime, and the
form of the stone is sometimes
round, sometimes pear shaped,
while the appearance is that of a
white pearl without much luster.
Some of these stones are as large
as cherries and as hard as feldspar
or opal. They are very rarely found
and are regarded as precious stones
by the orientals and as charms
against disease or evil spirits by the
natives. Stones of this kind are
also found in the pomegranate and
in other East Indian fruits. Apa-
tite has also been discovered in teak
wood.

The Lobster an Idiot.

poke him there, he does that; poke

and they do the same things. Shall
we therefore conclude that the lob
ster lacks mentality, that he's a
mere machine and that he doesn't
even know he's a lobster? By no
means. All we can affirm with SCI
entifc justice is that apparently
and only apparently-he's an idiot.

A Prevalent Disease Among
Cattle--How it Should be
Treated.

Mr.. Editor: Within the last
month the Stat Veterinarian has
received a number of letters con-
cerning cattle affected with sore
mouth and, in many cases, sore
or tender feet. AS the disease
seems to be generally prevalent,
no doubt as result of the long
continued wet weather, the fol
lowing information concerning
it is supplied for publications:
The disease is known in med
icine as my cotic stomatitis. 1t
is not contagious or infectious
but is caused by fungi or mould
which grow upon forage or grasses
These fungi, which grow lux.
uriantIy in wet seasons, have a
very irritant effect upon the
lining membrane OF the mouth
the membrane covering the
tongue and upon the soft skin
between the claws.
Affected animals eat and drink
with great difficulty or not at all,
the saliva forms lrOth around

this disease should be remov ed
from the pasture in which they
have been running. Tie Affected
animals should be fed on soft
food, such as bran mashes, meal
and gruels. They should have
free access at all times to clean,
cool water and two heaping table
spoonfu]s of borax should be
dissolved in each OF the first
two buckets of water given each
day. The mouth should be wash
ed out daily with a solution OF
0eOlin -One-half tables p0onful
Of alum or boraX should be
placed on the tongue. Diseased
areas on the feet should be
washed daily with the creoliu
solution and alterwa rd coveped
with zinc ointment. II this treat
ment Is prof. erly applied and
the animals are carefully ted the
disease will rapidly disappear.
Yours truly,

and met the great fire line com.
ing westward. After tins blown
up mass of debris along this
street was set on fire, it was
with great difficulty and after
desperate fighting that the fire
was kept from crossing this Ave
nue., which would have meant
the complete destruction of the
whole residence section. The
writer boarded on the corner OF
Van Ness Avenue and Geary ST.,
which corner caught fire several
times but was put out after hard
fighting. Two blocks above
Geary street the fire did get
across and burned five blocks
on the west side, including the
magnificent brown stone man,
sion OF Claus Spreckles, the Su-
gar King of California. The
flames did not get any further
westward but turned to the north
in the direction Of the Bay
sweeping everything in its course,
all the water front until it
reached within about one half
of mile Of the Ferry Building,
when with the assistance of "A
fleet of tug boats on the Bay
the flames were vented from
going any farther, at which time
it was about half past one a. m.

brought under control. Thus
ended one of the most disastrous

recall a few incidents which oc-
Cured along with this great ca

age of the brave people of San

On Wednesday morning after
the earthquake shock, the peo
pie were al amazed and excited
at the great tIembles but they
had no idea that still worse
catastrophe was soon to follow
and 1T was not until about noon
that the people realized what
was upon them. Business was
then completely paraIized and
here was one thought to save
lives and what few little per-
sonal effects that would be Sc
cured from the burning homes.

sidewalks, sitting on their trunks,

until they should be aroused by
a guard and ordered to move on
away from the fire. Necessity

AS every thing was completely
paralyzed and business was alb

conveyances could not be had

FACTS IN NATURE.
Not Only Do We Get Inspiration From
 Nature, But Health as We'll.

For people who are rundown and nerv ous, who suffer from indigestion or dyS- pepsia, headache, biliOuSueSS, or torpid liver, coated tongue with bitter taste in comes necessary to turn to some tonic or strengthener which will assist Nature and help them to get on their feet and put the body into it's proper condition. It is becoming more and more apparent that Natures most valuable health giving agents are to be found in forest plants and roots.
 Nearly forty years ago, Dr. R.V. Pierce, now consulting physician to the InyalIds' Hotel and Surgical Institute, at Buffalo, N. Y. discovered that by scientifically extracting and combining certain medicI- nal principles from native roots, taken from our American forests, he could pro- duce medicine which was marVelOuSly efficient in curing cases of blood disorder and liver and stomach trouble as well as many other chronic, or lingering ail- mentS. This concentrated extract of Natures vitality he named Golden Med teal Discovery" It puriteS the blood by putting the stomach and liver into healthy condition, thereby helping the digestion and assimilation of food which feeds the blood. Thereby it cures weak stomach, indigestion, torpid liver, or bil- iouSneSS, and kindred heterogeneous.
 If you have coated tongue, with bitter or bad taste in the morning, frequent headaches feel weak, easily tired, stitches or pain Tn side, pack gives out easily ana aches belching of gas, cOnstipa Jion. or irregular bowels, feel flashes of heat all ternating with chilly sensations or kin dred symptoms, they point to derange ment of your stomach, liver and kidneys, which the "Golden Medical Discovery |" will correct more speedily and perma- nently than any other known agent. Con- tainS no alcohol or habit-forming drugs All it's ingredients printed in plain Eng fish on wrapper.
 The sole motive for substitution is to permit the dealer to make a little more profit. He gains; you lose. Accept no sub stitute for Golden Medical Discovery"
 Constipation causes and aggravates many serious diseases. It is thoroughly cured by Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. One a laxative; two or three are cathartic.
