That our American forosts abound In
plants which possess the most valuable
medicinal virtues is abundantly attested
by scores of the most eminent medical
writer's and teachers. Even the untu-
tored Indians had discovered the useful
ness of many native plants before the
advent Of the white race. This informa-
tlon, impaired freely to the whites, LED
the latter to continue investigations until
to-day we have rich assortment OF most
valuable American medicinal roots.

The girl who knows herself to be

Is not to let your attention wander, and
at the right moment, in the right place,
make some brief rejoinder in afiirma-

walls. A good listener is never bore,

Gas-stove Hints.


In using an oven the burners should
be lighted for ut least five minutes be
fore any food is put In.
Keep all gas stops closed unless IN
use so that none of the fuel will bs
wasted and accidents from escaping gas
avoided.
The stop In the connecting pipe mus
also be turned off when the range il
not in use for cooking, for nc -uel car
then leak out
If the burner is u double one the out
err circle is lighted first, then the stoI
of the other is turned on, and the flame
spreads to the inner burner.
AS soon as any food comes to boil.
ing point the flame may be turned
down to at least half of its original
strength and the liquid will continue
to bubble and cook.
In lighting burner the stop in
the main pipe must first be turned on
then the Jet in the burners opened for
two or three seconds TO allow the gas
to fill the pipes, after which the match
may be applied
The gas should burn clear and blue
III it is yellow and starts off with q
roar it is burning in the air chamber
and must be turned off at once until
the gas has flowed in for few seconds
longer. when match may again be ap
piled.

Meanwhile, the DEVILS Lead was still
undiscovered, many people declaring 1t
was a myth, and that lead had never
existed. Three people, however, had
firm belief in its existence, and were Ger.
tain it would be found some day-this
Slivers.
The Pactolus claim was a sort of Ma.
both's vineyard to Slivers, who, in COM
.pany with Billy. used to sit in his dngy
little Office and grind his teeth as he
thought of all the wealth lying beneath
those green fields. He had once even gone
so far as to offer to buy a share in the
claim from Madame Midas, but had been
promptly refused by that lady.
Still the Devils Lead was not found,
and people we're beginning to disbelieve in
its existence, when suddenly indications
appeared which showed that it was near
at hand. Nuggets, some large, some small,
began to be constantly discovered. and
every day news was brought into Balla-
rat about the turning up of thirty
ounce or a twenty-ounce nugget in the
Pactolus, when, to crown all. the news
came and ran like wild6re through the
city that a three hundred ounce nugget
had been unearthed.

When Is a Man Really Deadf

Floresco claims to have brought back
life to dogs whose hearts have stopped
from twenty-five to forty minutes. He
applies electrodes directly the heart,
either on the outside or needles to
the inside of the yentricleS. Janilew-
sky has started heart beats in rabbit
twenty-f0ur hours after death, and in
the aurices three days after death. This
he accomplished by perfusion OF the
heart by Locke's solution. Inhibition
of this heart action can be brought
about by applying electrodes at the
root OF the aorta. Locke and Rosen-
helm perfused heart that had been
hanging in the laboratory for FIVE
days since its removal from the rab-

periments that inhibition Of the heart

ter.
