VIOLENT STORM ON ATLANTIC
Five Hours in a Storm Rarely Exceed
ed for Violence.

New York, N. Y.-From midnight
Tuesday night until 5 O'Clock Wednes.
day morning the steamer La Provence,
which arrived in port, passed through
a storm, which the officers of the ship
say has rarely been exceeded in VIC.
lence on the Atlantic.
At dinner time Tuesday the baron
eter began a once to fall rapidly and
as midnight approached the ship had
reached an area where air was SO
heavily charged with electricity that
the compass became worse than use
less. Suddenly a terrific storm swept
down on the ship. Great waves broke
over the liners docks, but no rain
fell, the night being perfectly clear.
After five hours the storm abated as
suddenly as it had come. No one was
injured, but the passengers were bad
ly frightened.
Capt. Alix of the liner believes the
strange storm was the result of the
same forces which caused the earth.
quake shocks in Mexico.

QUAKE IN MEXICO
REPORTED THAT EARTH ROCKED
FOUR AND A HALF MINUTES.
THE LONGEST ON RECORD THERE
No Lives Reported Lost and Few Are
Injured-Preceded By an
Electric Flash.

City Of Mexico, Mex.-An earth
quake lasting four and a half min
utes startled this city. The earth
rocked in a long swinging motion,
Terrifying the inhabitants, repre-
sentatives Of the press made a rapid
tour in cabs over the business streets
of the city, but nowhere could dam.
age beyond cracked walls and small
assures in the pavements be found.
At the police stations no deaths had
been reported up to 12:40 a. m. A
wall on Santiago street collapsed, kill
ing a number of horses and wounding
five men.
No reports have yet come from the
American colony, but it is not believed
that serious damage was sustained
there, although the houses, unlike
those in the old section Of the city,
are not built to Withstand earthquake
shocks. At the time of the first shock
the cafes and theaters were filled and
for a time a panic was feared, but
owing to the peculiarly steady swing
Of the earth's movement, the crowds
left the buildings in comparative or
der. The shock vas preceded by two
bright electric flashes, which lit up the
sky to the northwest of the city. Up
to this time the property loss is re.
ported as very small. A number OF
walls in unsubstantial buildings col
lapsed and one on Buchareli street
narrowly missed burying the fleeing
inmates of a nearby hotel.
The unusual length of the shock
has not been officially verified from
the government observatory at Taca'
buya, communication with that point
being cut off. A representative OF
Ell Diario, a morning paper, held a
watch during the shock and is au
thority for the statement that the
earth rocked for four and a half min
utes. II this is true, it is the longest
earthquake ever recorded in this city
The city is comparatively quiet, al
though the streets are yet thronged
with people, many refusing to enter
their houses through fear of a more
severe shock to come.

AGE TOLD BY THE PULSE.
From Birth to Death the Beats Have
a Steady Decrease.

How old are you? Ask your pulse.
The human pulse has a wide range,
even in perfectly healthy persons.
The female pulse always beats fast
er than the male, and from birth to
death the pulse beats steadily de-
crease. 1t has been said by great
authorities that the age and sex OF
a person could be ascertained by the
rate of the pulse alone. Babies at
birth have a pulse beat Of 100 times
q minute in case of a girl and $50 in
the case of boys. At the age of four
or five the pulse beats will have fall
en- respectively to ITO and 100. Maid
ems and youths pulses average 95
and 80. Mature men and women sv-
erage so and rs. Elderly men and
women have an average of 60 and so.
An old woman's pulse rarely, if ever,
sinks below so, but among men a
pulse beat below so is quite common.
There are. however, great variations
consistent with health. Napoleon's
pulse is said to have beaten only "A
times a minute.

Aealth al school children.

The medical inspection of school
children-a subject now provoking
general discussion in this country,
and particularly in this city-is the
topic of a book recently published IN
London, 1.-THE Health CT the School
Child" by DR.. w. Leslie Mackenzie.
He notes that in England, as in GER
tain countries on the continent (and
here also, we may add, the physlcai
examination of children is mo longer
a question of doubtful politics." 1t
has passed into the region of admin
istration." A point of great practical
interest which he brings out is that,
by a little cooperation among the
teachers, the amount Of work thrown
on the doctors and the consequent
cos of the inspection may be consid'
erably lighteaed. DR.. Kerr. for ex-
ample, of the London county council,
found that. with a little care. the
teachers were able to find out almost
all the children that suffered from eye
defects" This testimony will o
surprise casual and unofficial schooi
visitors-among whom we reckon our
selves-who are often amazed at the
indifference of teachers to defects OF
sight or hearing that are a manifest
handicap to pupils. Boys and girls
who are haIf-bliud or deaf will move
slowly from grade to grade, without
a word of warning to parent or guard
ian from the unobservant teacher.
We hope that the growing attention
to this matter Will, even where there
is no formal medical inspection,
quicken teachers to a duty that is too
often neglected.

How intensely practical and sensl-
Bile is much of the modern missionary
work is shown by DR.. Wilfred L.
GrenfeI, the medical missionary OF
the Labrador coast. In a recent adj
dress descriptive of his work he said,
1--WE paid more attention to benefit
ing the poverty-ridden people by aid
ing in their physical welfare than by
preaching and prayer. We establish
ed hospitals to are for the sick, open
ed stores where clothing and food and
tobacco could be obtained at a lower
price and of a better quality than In
the regular stores. We helped to
teach the fishermen more about their
business of fishing and the conditions
under which they lived, and how they
could better the conditions; and by
so doing we accomplished a greater
good than might have been wrought
by a host of preaching and praying
missionaries who ignore mems bodies
in the cure of their souls"

An American clergyman who has
recently returned from Venezuela re-
ports that soon after he reached Cara
cas- he was arrested on the charge
of violating a law which forbids for
eign clergymen to enter the country.
Through the in~tercession of the Amer
lean consul he was released on tho
promise that he would leave within
seven days. The reason for excluds
ing clergymen is not evident, for min
listers of the gospel are rarely meters
of revolution, at home or abroad.

The Evolution OF
Household Remedies.

The modern patent medicine BUSH
ness is the natural outgrowth Of the
old-time household remedies.
In the early history of this country,
EVERY FAMILY HAD ITS HOME
MADE MEDICINES. Herb teas,
bitters, laxatives and t%onics, were to be
found in almost every house, compound
ed by the housewife, sometimes assisted
by the apothecary or the family doctor.
Such remedies as picra, which was
aloes and quassia, dissolved in apple
brandy. Sometimes a hop tonic, made
Of whiskey, hops and bitter barks. A
score or more of popular, homemade
remedies were thus compounded, the
formulate for which were passed along
from house to house, sometimes written,
sometimes verbally communicated.
The patent medicine business is a
natural outgrowth from this whole
some, old-time custom. In the begin
ming, some enterprising doctor, i'm
pressed by the usefulness of one of
these homemade remedies, would take
it up, improve it in many ways, manu-
facture it on a large scale, advertise it
mainly through almanac" for the home,
and thus it would become used over a
large area. LATTERLY THE HOUSE
HOLD REMEDY BUSINESS TOOK
A MORE EXACT AND SCIENTIFIC
FORM.
Peruna was originally one of these
old-time remedies. It was used by the
Mennonites, of Pennsylvania, before it
was offered to the public for sale. DR..
Hartman, THE ORIGINAL COM
FOUNDER OF PERUNA, is of Men
monte origin. First, he prescribed it
for his neighbors and his patients.
The sale of it increased, and at last he
established a mandatory and fur
nished it to the general drug trade.
Peruna is useful in a great many
climatic ailments, such as coughs, colds,
sore throat, bronchitis, and catarrhal
diseases generally. THOUSANDS OF
FAMILIES HAVE LEARNED THE
USE OF PERUNA and its value in the
treatment of these ailments. They
have learned to trust and believe in
DR.. Hartman's judgment, and to rely
on his remedy, Peruna.

Setback to Cotton.

A serious setback has been given
cotton planting by the unreasonable
weather, which has recently prevailed.
Many farmers had planted, being en-
couraged thereto by the warm, summer
weather which lasted through almost
all of the latter part of March. These
will all lose the cotton seed which they
have put in the ground, and this will
come as a peculiar hardship this year,
as all the seed of cotton picked after
the cold rains which SO blighted the
cotton crop, beginning about Oct. l last
year, was rendered unfit for planting,
and cotton seed is a scarce commodity,
and very high.

DAY SAINTS
CLOSED A FOURTEEN DAYS SEES
SION AT LAMONT, IA.
300 MISSIONARY APPOINTMENTS
Warfare Has Existed for Years Be-
tween Utah Church and Re-
organization.

Lamoi, lathe fifty-fourth annual
Latter Day Saints church closed Fri
day.
The conference has been in session
here continuously for IA days and has
been one of the most important that
the church has ever held. Delegates
from every part of the United States
have been present; also from Canada,
England, Wales, Scotland, Australia,
Sweden, Norway, Denmark and the
Society islands.
The business of special interest
was the reading of missionary appoint
ments, about 800 in number. Impor-
tant foreign appointments We're: j. w.
Rushton, in charge of the British Isles;
C. w. B~utterworth, Alma Bore, and w.
w. Mackie to Australia, Peter Mucous
to Norway, H. Hanson to Sweden, Jo-
seph Burton and John Lake to the
Society islands.
The church believes in present reve-
lation and often at the general confer
ence doubtful questions are settled by
direct word of God coming through
the prophet, Joseph Smith. No revela-
ton came to this conference. Presi-
den Smith is now rs years old and
has guided his people for the past AZ
years. The plans for missionary work
for the year include a very active cam
paign in Utah. For that purpose a
strong force of men has been as
signed to that field and placed under
the direction of Fred A. Smith, a
grandson of the Joseph Smith who
founded the Latter Day Saints church.
For many years a strong warfare has
existed between the Utah church and
the reorganization.

FIRST Monument to confederates.

Several Southern States have claimed
the honor of having erected the first
monument to the soldiers Of the Con-
federacy, but this distinction apparent
ly belongs to Mississippi. The first
Confederate monument in Mississippi,
and thought to be the first in the South,
was erected at Liberty, Amite county.
The movement to raise funds for the
Amite county memorial was launched
on June /, 1866, a little more than one
year after the war closed, and the dedi-
cation ceremony took place on April l,
