Sunken Funds Recovered.

Some idea of the work done by
submarine divers In recovering treas
ure from sunken ships can be cotton
from the following figures, just pub
lished:
From the steamship Malabar was
recovered more than $1,2b0,000;
from the steamship Alphonso XII,
$3.50, 700; from the steamship Ha-
milla Mitchell, $250,OOO, and from
the steamship Carnatic, 5000, 900.
The complete list is long, but these
figures from Popular Mechanics give
an idea of the enormous value of
the treasures which the greedy waves
have swallowed and the inducement
to invest large capital. construct in
Genious and expensive machinery
and run great risks in raising ''wa-
tered stock.

Weekly Review Of Trade and Latest
Market Reports.

New York; G. Dun & Co.'S
Weekly Review : 4 Trade says:
Further progress was made in
the distribution of spring merchan-
disc this week, but the season Is
still very backward and much stock
will be carried over. Confidence Is
not generally shaken, although some
evidences of caution followed the
violent rise in prices of wheat and
frequent rumors of crop disasters.
Latest reports indicate that warm
weather in some states and much
needed rains in other sections have
given the tardy grain and cotton a
better start. Leading manufacturing
industries have not curtailed opera
lions, several advances in wages
have occurred and there are numer-
Gus encouraging developments to
onset slow progress on the farms, in
Guiding more prompt mercantile col
lections at many cities.
I'm the textile industries the event
of most interest during the week
was the increased firmness in cotton
goods, on account of the sharp rise
in cost of raw material, and a better
demand for the finished product
from many buyers, who just began
to appreciate the fact that no advant-
age would be gained by further

Scientists Debt To The Frog.

Prof. s. J. Holmes, of the govern
mental research laboratories at
washington, opines that most OF
what is known in certain depart
ments OF physiology is derived from
study of frog structure and func-
ton. Perhaps no animal except
man has been the subject of so many
scientific Investigations. One seldom
picks up a volume of physiology
without finding the frog the theme
or some congratulations
The late Professor Huxley said
that frogs seem to have been design
ed as foundation for biology. With
the discovery that frogs, like human
beings, are attacked by mosquitoes
whole line of new research has
been recently opened, and parasite life
has been mbch better understood
since it has been known that frogs
are hosts to a number of parasite
forms. Not the least interesting of
researches is based on the certainty
that a frog may be thrown into the
hypnotic state.-Chicago Tribune.

B0RAx IS NATURES
MINE OF PURITY FOR
DAIRY UTENSILS

Borax is first, a cleanser that re-
moves dirt and grease with surprising
ease; second, it is a sweetener that
makes fragrant any surface that has
grown musty or stale from neglect;
third, it is an antiseptic OF destroyer
Of germs. It prevents the develop
ment of bacteria or mouldy growths.
With all this 1t is perfectly free from
harm in its resulting effects.
The farm churn is kept free from
that stale odor If it is washed with
borax in the following proportions
one tablespoonful of borax to a quart
OF water.
The dairy room has nothing about
1t but the pleasant aroma of fresh
milk and cream and sweet butter If 1t
is kept clean with borax. There will
be no soapy smell and no lurking hint
OF something gene wrong.
The cream crooks take on an extra
freshness when washed with borax
and water in the following proper
tlons-one tablespoonful OF borax to
a quart Of water. This preserves the
fresh flavor of the cream.
The farm cream separator can be
kept thoroughly sweet and clean by s
wash of borax and water in the fol-
lowing proportions-one tablespoon
full Of borax to q quart of water.
Be sure that you get pure borax.

Silver Spoon In Eel's Midst.

An eel dating from Revolutionary
days was caught alive at Bloomfield.
Laborers were cleaning the accumu-
lated mud of ages from a stream,
and there they found and killed the
gigantic eel The most interesting
article in its midst was a silver
spoon; the Initials &c. W." were
not engraved on it, but the spoon
is of purest Colonial pattern. Be-
sides the eel contained several large
old copper cents and lead bullet,
which seems to have been used as
a fishline sinker and which never
fitted anything but a musket Of '76.

A Lazy Liver

May be only a tired liver, or q starved
liver. 1t would be a stupid as we'll as
savage thing to beat q weary or starved
man because he Jagged in his work. So
IN treating the tagging, torpid liver it is
a great mistake TO lash it with strong
drastic drugs. A torpid liver is but an
indication of an ill-nourished, enfeebled
body whose organs are weary with over
work. Start with the stomach and allied
organs Of digestion and nutrition. Put
them in working order and see how
quickly your liver will become active.
DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
has made many marvellous cures of silver
trouble" by its wonderful control of the
organs Of digestion and nutrition. 1t re-
stores the normal activity of the stomach,
increases the secretions Of the blood-mal1-
ing glands, cleanses the system from poi
sonous accumulations, and so relieves the
liver of the burdens imposed upon it by
the detection OF other organs.
