 desired to remain strong and healthy. Some of these mills are still to be
 found scattered over the rural districts
 of the country, but they are compara- lively few. steam has in SO many
 places superseded water as motive
 power that many of the old mills have fallen to decay and are no longer to be found. The old poem beginning

 appropriate in most parts of the couu- try as it was when written. for the
 music has ceased in many cases.
 The magazine article we have alluded to. and the pictures, Illustrating 1t
 show some of the finest water-powers on the continent. and looking at them
 and the way some of them are now
 being utilized brings us to a realiza-
 tfon of the way water is coming to
 it's own as a power producer. Not in the old direct way, 1t Is true. but as
 producer of electric power which is
 so fast becoming the moving energy of the mechanical world. In all parts of the country they are erecting plants for the generation of electricity and that subtle fluid goes across country land Is hitched to the machinery that is operating the many industries of this great country. Some of the Vest ern falls and torrents. to judge from the illustrations and descriptions of

 be practically without. limit. That
 their power will in time be harnessed for mans use is not to be disputed, and there. as in so many other recent in-
 stances, the water will again become
 an important factor in the industrial
 world.

RELIC BUYERS.

That ueople are always ready 10 DC lu,.nbugesed is constantly being mani fested all over the country. According to A contemporary, "Wisconsdn collec- tors of old Indian relics and survtva's os the Mound Builders age have been sxpindled to a considerable extent by a fake relic dealer who made his head quarters at Detroit. Thousands of dol lars worth of these alleged relics are said to have been disposed of, the i'm posttion being so cleverly worked that suspicion was not often aroused. Moreover, it is understood that the relic manufacturers have done a lively busi- ness in bronze tablets inscribed with hieroglyphics and symbols of the Biblical deluge and the Tower of Babel. The recently produced Diary of Noah" is alleged to have been part of this game. The fake was offered to a wealthy collector in Wisconsin, who was saved from being victimized . because the curator of Wisconsin museum, being aware of the business in spurious relics. had recommended to the collector that he submit pros pective purchases to him before buy ing"
 There are lots of easy marks in this world, especially when it comes to gathering relics of some kind, and in hardly anything has this been exhib- tied to a greater extent than in the matter of buying ue reminders of the early inhabitants of this continent. The Indians are an interesting race. in many respects, and anything relating to their habits and customs fin their prehistoric days is eagerly seized on. It is not a difficult matter for ingen- ious moders to initiate arrow-heads. stone hatchets. pots and the like, and by skilfull manipulation to give them an appearance of age that will deceive the unwary. Even an experienced an- tiquarian may be fooled at times.
 As to that matter, nothing in the relic line is so absurd or improbable that it will not find some one to bite at it. If some shrewd talker should declare that he had discovered one of the axes with which Noah's workmen hewed and fashioned the timbers of the ark he would find some one to bite at the bait. That being true, it is not surprising that those who make a bus mess of substituting their own handi work for that of the early people of North America have so much success Ii is known to all who have given even casual attention to the matter that at some period. or at various periods, this continent was peopled by many races. or by many successions of the same race, perhaps, and 1t is also known that these people left in all places occupied by them evidences of their presence.
 Knowing this. it is not very hard to palm off bogus relics as genuine. Few things. if any. that were made by the Indissk of any race or time cannot be >d by modern skill. and when t6 hded unscrupulousness the

DO0TORS MLST1KES

Are said often to be buried six feet under
ground. But many times women call on
their family physicians, suffering, as they
imagine, one from dyspepsia, another from
heart disease, another from liver or kid
ney disease, another from nervous pros
tration, another with pain here and there,
and in this way they present alike to
themselves and their easy-going or over
busy doctor, separate diseases, for which
he, assuming them to be such, prescribes
his pills and potions. In reality, they are
all only symptoms caused by some uterine
disease. The physician, ignorant of the
cause OF suffering, keeps up his treatment
until large bills are made. The suffering
patient gets no better, by reason of the
wrong treatment, but probably worse. A
proper medicine like DR.. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription, directed to the cause would
have entirely removed the disease, there
by dispelling all those distressing symp-
