What will appear very interesting
to many people here is tho article
taken from q New York daily paper
giving a simple prescription, as for
mulated by noted authority, who
claims that he has found a positive
remedy to cure almost any case Of
backache or kidney or bladder ar
rangement in the following simple
prescription, it taken before the
stage of Bright's disease:
fluid Extract Dandelion, one
half ounce, Compound Kargon, one
ounce; Compound Syrup Sarsap-
arilla three ounces. Shake we'll IN
a bottle and take in teaspoonful
doses after each meal and again at
bedtime.
A we'll known druggist here at
home, when asked regarding this
prescription, stated that the ingre-
dents are all harmless, and can lie
obtained at u small cost from any
good prescription pharmacy, or the
mixture would be put up if ask to
do so. He further stated that while
this prescription is often prescribed
in rheumatic Affections with splen-
did results, he could see NO reason
why it would not be splendid rem
edy for kidney and urinary troubles
and backache, as it has a peculiar
action upon the kidney structure,
cleansing these most important or
gans and helping them to sift and
filter from the blood the foul acids
and waste matter which cause sick
ness and suffering. Those of ouz
readers who suffer can make nc

EARTHQUAKES.
Their Causes, Their Frequency and
 Their Two Great Belts.

Their Causes, Their Frequency and
 Their Two Great Belts.
 There Is never a day on which some part of the earth Is not shaken, and It is probable that not even an hour ever passes without some kind of an earth quake in some part of the earth. The truth of this statement may be in ferred from the fact that In Japan alone S,331 earthquakes were recorded between the years 1885 and 1892. The great majority of these shocks are tre- mors detected only by instruments or, If noticed by man, of such slight in tensity as to cause no alarm. Many, however, are sufficiently strong to en- danger life and property, and there Is every gradatiun between the tremors which only delicate instruments detect and the earthquake which devastates a great city.
 Causes for jars In the earth are many and of different kinds. The falling in of the roofs of caverns has been known to cause earthquakes, and landslides have caused others. These, however, are minor causes, and the resulting shocks are of slight importance, A far more potent cause for earthquakes is volcanic action.
 There are two great belts on the earth In which either volcanoes are ac- tive or mountains are growing or in which the two phenomena are asso- ciated. These two belts follow great circles. One of these passes through the West Indies, the Mediterranean sea, the Caucasus and Himalaya noun talns and Is called by De Montessus the Mediterranean or Alpine Caucasus Hlmalayan belt. In this belt 53 per cent of all recorded earthquakes have occurred. The second belt nearly en- circles the Pacific, following the Andes. the mountains of western North Amer. lea, the Aleutian islands, Japan and the Philippines. This De Montessus calls the circum-Pacific or Andes-Japanese- Malayan belt In this belt have occur erd II per cent of all recorded earth. quakes. In all the rest of the world the recorded earthquakes equal only per cent of the total number.
 Those whose homes are outside the two belts of frequent earthquakes are not absolutely immune from disturb ance. as Is proved by the earthquake at Charleston in 1886 and at New Mad rid in 1872. But in those parts of the globe earthquakes are not common. They occur in widely scattered locali- ties at rare intervals aud are not com monly of great destructiveness. In the belts of frequent earthquakes, on the other hand, shocks may occur in many places at frequent intervals and occa- slonally with great violence. San Francisco and Santiago. for example, are situated on danger lines in the earths crust, as are many other places In the two great earthquake belts.- Professor Ralph s. Tarr In Leslie's Weekly.

ore bodies exist. At the present time he is operating in Patagonia, Santa Cruz county, Arizona. There is copper and other mineral there and Colonel Greene is after it. His prospectors are sharp, clear headed men who know their busi ness from to izzard, and he pays them we'll; he can afford to for it is by and through them that he comes in touch with mines and minerals.

 In the Patagonia country he has pur- chased the Three R's formerly owned by R. k. Richardson. This is the mine that displayed shoots of native copper in the ancient town of Tucson. It is n mighty good mine and Greene has got it. This isn't ali he has got by any means in Patagonia. His experts and prospectors are at work as well as Greene himself and he knows what a good prospect is just as well as the best man he has in his employ; and he has a host of them scattered through out the country. He talks and advises with them and they have orders to find the stuff if it exists. He is working quietly and secretly and before long the world will hear from Bill Greene again--posibly with another Cananea.

Delay In Diyorces.

''The underlying reason why so much time usually elapses between the filing of petition and the hearing or trial in divorce proceedings Is not generally understood" remarked lawyer who makes a speciality of this character of practice, Perhaps 1t is within the cir cle of truth to say that in~a a majority of cases, if either husband or wife. whichever side be plaintiff, should stop, look and listen,' as 1t were, the trouble would be adjusted out of court entirely. As a rule, judges are inciin- ed to afford ample time for domestic partners to ponder well before pursu- ing further toward legal redress for matrimonial difficulties. Divorce in haste and repent at leisure Is a logical paraphrase Of course, if after ma ture reflection different opinion does not ensue, the average jurist would fa- vor progressing the suit. t."-New York Press.

How Icebergs Are Born

The birth of huge Iceberg. a phe- noinenon that has been seen only once or twice by a European and to cer- tain extent has remained matter of theory, was observed by the Danish explorers on the east coast of Green land some time since. The bergs are formed by breaking off from the end of glaciers extending from the perpet- ual ice of the unexplored interior to the coast and into the sea. The water buoys up the sea end of the glacier until it breaks by it's own weight with a terrific crash. The commotion of the water as the iceberg turns over and over in the effort to attain it's balance Is felt to a great distance along the coast. The natives regard 1t as the work of evil spirits and believe that to look upon the glacier in its throes is death

A SUDDEN TURN

It is apparent that the president has something up his sleeve in regard to the Japanese student matter, concern ing which California is atlame. That the conference at the White House with the California delegation in congress on Wednesday was not on the antagonistic lines of the president s message and the California legislative resolutions is plain. The surmise is that the presi. dent has found out that new treaty can be negotiated with the Japanese government which will avoid the issue that has been raised on the school ques- tion, and the underlying issue of real concern on the Pacific coast touching the immigration of Japanese laborers.
 The present treaty will expire by linn. itation on the 18th of March. Doubt. less, had no trouble arisen, it would have been given a new lease of life without amendment. But an opportun. ity of amendment is afforded, and the indications are that the president has given the California members to under. stand that Japan win consent to an amendment. Hence, the call upon the Californians for a truce. Possibilities may properly be suspended during the remaining brief term of the present treaty's life.
 The national governments s cases in court need not be pressed unnecessarily and the labor agitators in the west can afford to wait to see what form the new treaty may have While the presi deRt has committed himself to the en forcement of the present treaty while it is the supreme national law, with an emphasis that the Japanese appreciate this does not debar him from seeking a modification of it that will obviatc the objections raised, and prevent the necessity of forcing a decision by the supreme court on an issue between na tional and state authority.
 Those who are best qualified to speak concerning the motive of Japan have constantly asserted that the government of that nation does not favor the colo nization of its inhabitants in foreign lands. and it is conceivable that it will gladly consent to treaty that will operate to discourage emigration for in dustrial reasons Such an adjustment of our domestic difficulty would be for tunate in every respect.

DRINKING AND BUSINESS

The Lehigh Valley railroad has served notice on its employees that they must be total abstainers from alcoholic drinks or leave the service of that company, and it is quite likely that all the other lines in the United States will adopt the same rule. It is only cumulative evidence that there are enough sober men in the world to do the world s work There is a mighty change in so- eiety since Squire Western was a fox hunter. The younger Pitt, while prime minister, made those splendid orations when more than half seas over, but he was genius; and yet the England of today would not tolerate a -four bottle man" even though he were all either Pitt was.
 It is the greatest of the evils, this dram drinking. It curbs the will, it stains the character, it is the advance agent of poverty, it impairs the intel feet, it alienates friends, it humiliates kindred, it eradicates pride. First it exhilirates, then exalts, then banishes responsibility; but the pendulum swings just as far the other way. The debauch is a remorseless creditor and exacts with pitiless extortion the utmost farthing. There is no escape from the debt, and it can only be discharged in cash and by prompt payment, the only legal teu- der-regret, remorse and shame.
 That is the experience of every drunk ard, even if the genius, the one man who has anything that is stagger of an excuse for overindulgence in the flowing bowl. The world is getting more impatient in this behalf daily. The evil is growing less and less, and a time will come, sooner or later, when to work man must not impair his mental and physical energies and bankrupt his moral character by drink.
 A drunken officer on the field of bat tie is not more out of place than a drunken engineer on a railroad locomo- tive. A drunken cashier of bank is no more out of place than drunken doctor in sickroom. A drunken law yer in a courthouse is not more out of place than a drunken statesman in the legislative hall.
 Public opinion will settle the liquor question if left to deal with it in a practical way.-Washingt Post.
