FRIENDLY TIP.
Restored Hope and Confidence.

After several years of indigestion
and its attendant evil influence on the
mind, it is not very surprising that
one finally loses faith in things gen
orally.
An. Y. woman writes an interesting
letter. She says:
Three years ago | suffered from an
attack Of peritonitis which left me in
a most miserable condition. For over
two years / suffered from nervousness,
weak heart, shortness of breath, could
not sleep, etc.

of food but it did not nourish me be-

GASOLINE IN TIE KITCHEN
AS Cleanser, Nothing Is Better Than
This Material, Though 1t Must
Be Carefully Handled.

A can of gasoline in the kitchen for
cleaning purposes will be found a
great help if ordinary care is eXer'
cised against fire. To clean the gas
stove, soak the jets in little gasoline
and it will remove all dirt and do
away with any odor from the gas
range, or scrub the jets with little
brush dipped in gasoline.
To clean copper or aluminium COOK
ing utensils, soak a cloth in gasoline
and rub on the outside of the vessel.
This will remove all black or dlscoi-
Grafton from the metal
For grease marks or dirty spots on
woodwork a little gasoline applied
with a cloth will remove them at
once.
If the drain in the sink becomes
stopped up, remove all water from the
sink and pour in a pint or more OF
gasoline and let 1t stand. This Will
cut the cause of stoppage in a little
while.
Before blacking a stove or range
rub off the top with a cloth wet with
gasoline, and it will remove all dirt
and grease and make the backing
stay on longer.
Be careful to keep all gasoline away
from the fire.

sands of fathoms. So the coast is alive
with marine life of every kind, and es-
pecially with hundreds of species of
fish. This immense amount OF food
material attracts, naturally, CORE
spondingly vast flocks of marine birds.
These birds, moreover, owing to the
arid character of the region above re-
marked upon, find ready prepared for
them on the uninhabited coastal
islands and rocks just that barren and
vegetation-free surface which they
love to roost and nest upon; and il is
just because Of this aridity Of the Te-
gion that it is possible for the great
deposits of guano due to these birds to
accumulate on the islands. This fer
tilizing material, so important to the
agriculturist, forms from its chemical
constitution-the result of the nature
of the birds diet-the most perfectly
assimilable plant-food known, and one
not yet approached in its effects by
any artificial product; and of it Peru
possesses in the celebrated Guano
islands situated off its coast, the
largest deposits in the world.
The islands frequented by the birds
as breeding places are very numerous
and occur at various distances apart.
chiefly along 500 or 600 miles of coast,
and nowhere more than 20 miles off
shore. The most important are known
as the Lobos, the Guanape, the PeSca-
dores, the Ballistes and the Chincha
archipelagoes. The first-named group
contains the largest islands, but the
two latter are the most important
commercially. The species inhabltirg

Alexander is a character in his

James E. MARITIME. Not long ago he
was hoeing and killing some potatoes
down on our Jersey farm, and 1 stood
by while he was trying to drive the
chickens away from the freshly turned
earth. They kept him very busy and
finally, instead of losing patience, he
turned to me and said:
Boss, do yo' know dat chicken am

"How is that Alexander" 1 asked
him.

till finally the last survivor ceased
from troubling. The voracious rovers
l have named, which, always at that
season hover over the breeding
grounds, rallied in vast flocks to the
walls of distress. Making short work,
first of all, of the more delectable
eggs, they fell upon the tenderest of
the young ones, on which they gorged
themselves to such safety as appa-
rently to nauseate even their insati-
able stomachs, for the bulk of the

Greatest Enaineerina Jobs.

The greatest engineering works OF
the present days are undoubtedly those
connected with the removal of vast
quantities OF soil and rock. The Pan
ANA canal, the Catskill aqueduct and
the many other tunnels, excavations
and mines are the feats which rouse
popular enthusiasm. These would be
quite impossible if it were not for the
knowledge we have Of powerful eX-
plosive and modern drilling methods.
1t is interesting to note that gunpow-
der as an explosive agent was not
used in mines in Europe till cen
tury and half after the discovery Of
America: il was first used In Ger

years that mine excavations have
been revolutionized by the develop

20 HAT part of the world we call
Peru, to quote an old Spanish
writer, lis very remarkable and
contains in it strange proper


SHOWS nor halls in all this coast, which
is a matter worthy Of admiration"
Peru lies, nevertheless, entirely
within the tropics, though it differs so
greatly from most other tropical re-
gions. Nothing strikes the traveller
voyaging southwark from Panama,
especially during the later months of
the year, SO much as the remarkable
meteorological change he experiences
when he passes Cape Blanco. All tie
way thither he feels stif1ed and over
come by the heat; but at that point he
suddenly sails into a temperate and
delicious cline. His landscape alters
also amazingly. He energies from one
clothed with the exuberant verdure so
associated with the tropics, into
rainless and barren desert. On The
other hand, the long, narrow strip OF
shore west of the Andes stretching to
the south of the cape has a tempera-
ture from degrees to 10 degrees
Fair higher than that of the refrig
Grated sea. The small amount of
moisture, therefore, carried in the air
is easily held suspended till it has en-
tirely crossed this belt and impinged
against the Andean heights, which are
also themselves a barrier to the pass
age of any clouds from the Atlantic
ocean. Against this cold barrier the
Pacific moisture is at last wrung out
of the atmosphere as rain or snow,
whence it flows down to the lowlands
as rivers, few Of which, after all, ever
succeed in reaching the sea, for the
desert sands en- route drink most of
them up. The coast, moreover, pre-
sents a continental ledge extending
seward from the mainland under LOO
miles in width.
