We have lately heard much of the wonderful manner in which earth- quake disturbances are registered very often at places remote from their center of activity. Thus the seismograph invented by Prof. John Milne, and kept at his home im the Isle of Wight, has been known to re- cord earth vibrations which had their origin at the other si.e of the world. The main feature of the instrument is a slender rod of steel about a yard long, which is attached to a solid upright, the two being arranged like a mast and boom of a ship. At the ends of this delicately balanced hori- zontal rod or pendulum is a tiny plate of brass with a slit in it parallel with the boom itself. This crosses a simi- lar slit at right angles to it in the top of a box which contains a slowly traveling ribbon of sensitive photo- graphic paper, and by means of a lamp and mirror a beam of light is sent through the cressed slits onto the paper below. So long as the hoom remains perfectly still the record traced on the paper by;the light takes the form of a continuous line; but when the delicate rod is caused to vibrate the line is interrupted by lat- eral thickenings. As the paper tape is marked with hours and minutes the exact time when any earth dis- turbance takes place is plainly indi- cated." USE PINEAPPLE. To Cure Diphtheria and a Slice Will Remove Ahy Corn. Pineapple, in virtue of its active principle, hromtetin, - has consider- able virtues as a proteid digestive. The texture of the fruit, however, is such” that its wundigestibility more than offsets this virtue. Dr. Wyatt Wingrave, however, finds that the ex- pressed juice has a powerful solvent action upon plastic exudate, such as diphtheria membrane. This cau be demonstrated in vitro, and though, owing to the shortness of centact, its solvent action on membrane on the throat is necessarily slight, he finds that it exerts a decidedly soften- ing effect on the stringy exudation, so as to admit of its easy detach- ment. He also uses with success a thin slice of pineapple, applied for eight hours, as a means of softening the horny epidermis of corns, ready for removal. Within his own special province he has employed the juice usefully for softening the horny papillae in keratosis of the tonsil— Therapeutic Gazette. th i Long Hair | ¢¢ About a.year ago my hair was coming out very fast, so I bought a bottle of Ayer’s Hair Vigor.

AYER CO., Lowell, Mags, ON J3RDAN’S BANK. Curions Ceremony by Russian Pilgrims in the Holy Land. The traveler in the Holy Land will witness few sights which will interest him more than that of the Russian pil- grims at their annual Epiphany cere- monies on the banks of the river Jor- dan. A week before the festival itself crowds of these Slav peasants are seen trudging along the Jericho road with every imaginable kind of haversack and carry-all on their backs. Some of the pilgrims are old and weather- worn, others young and cheerful, while a few, overcome by sleep and fatigue, are lying prone along the roadside. But somehow the whole lot, young and old, manage to reach the banks of the riv- er in good timse for the ceremony. They spend the night, perhaps, im the Russian hospice at Jericho, where they simply huddle together like a flock of sheep. Before dawn the rooms are empty and the whole crowd has gath- ered on the bank where Greek priests, who will presently drive a most lucra- tive trade, await them. The princi- pal articles sold are branches of trees from various sacred spots, stones from the Mountain of Temptation hard by, plants from the wilderness and rosa- ries with olive stones for beads. To whatever religious value is claimed for these artices the Russian peasants in- plicitly give credence, and they .will- ingly pay their money to obtain them. During the hours immediately pre- ceding the ceremony the motley crowd is occupied in prayer and silent de- vetion. To many pilgrims this ecea- sion is one of the greatest life cam bring, namely, to be permitted net enly to visit the Jordan, but actually to bathe in its sacred waters. Sudden- ly chanting is heard, amd the crewd quickly opens to let a processien of purple-clad ecclesiastics pass te the waters, then the pilgrims close in again, and station ‘themselves along the banks, eager and watchful. And now, quite reverently, a jeweled cross is laid by the patriarch on the surface of the stream to bless it, and no sooner does the sacred symbol touch the wa- ter than a dive is made into it by the enthusiastic crowd, which splashes and sprays and dips—altogether a strange scene. Such is the baptism, and the longer. it lasts the greater the merit the pilgrim will enjoy. All dripping with-water each shroud is now wrung out and stowed away to serve as the cerecloth when the pil- grimage of life is over and the body is ready for the grave. As the traveler rides away the next day to Jerusa- lem he will see these childlike peas- ants, bedraggled with mud, and fa- tigued by constant sleeplessness, plod- ding along toward the holy city, chant- ing and singing as they go, and lean- ing on their sticks of reed. But there is now a smile on their faces, and joy in their hearts, for have they not bathed in the waters of Jordan ?—Lon- don Telegraph. Squirrels in Winter. Gray-.squirrels do not hibernate, but seldom leave their nests during the very cold weather. On mild days in winter, however, they come out and race through. the tree-tops and visit the large stores of nuts which they gathered and hid away in the autumn. Red squirrels are smaller. but much hardier, creatures than the gray ones, and although they, too, have nests of cedar-bark in the hollow trees, they use them only at night, for mo weather is so severe as to keep these. little fellows indoors. They are ahout the most provident of all the creatures’ in the woods, usually storing away under brush-heaps, beneath fallen logs and in hollow trunks far more nuts than they can possibly eat in one winter. They do not put them all in one place, as a rule; they generally have several hoards at some little distance apart. This is a wise pre- caution, as.it sometimes happens that one store is discovered and stolen by an enemy, and unless there was an- other supply to fall back upon the squirrels might die of starvation.— Woman's Home Companion. He Filled the Bill, “Why,” he asked, when they had seated themselves alone at one end of the porch, “do you suppose it is that educated women do not marry?” “But educated women domarry,” she replied. cated women who have married within the past month or two.” “Oh, yes, of course, some of them marry. But why do so many of them remain single?” : 5 “Perhaps it is because the educated woman's horizon is broader than that of the uneducated; because she de- mands more.” : “Then it is not because she looks upon marriage itself as a bad thing?” “Oh, dear, no!” “And you have declined proposals be- cause you have demanded much?” She tied and untied her dainty hand- kerchief and looked down and blushed and faintly answered: “Yes. One of them was five feet three inches and the other couldn’t have weighed more than 90 pounds.” Being six foot four in his socks, he then spoke out and got her.—Phila- delphia Times. The World’s Largest Orchard. The largest apple orchard in the world is in the Ozark mountains, near Lebanon, Mo. It comprises 2300 acres of ground and is planted 60 trees to an acre, says the Philadelphia Press. After six years of waiting this huge apple garden has come into full bear- ing and is sending out a crop that, it is claimed, surpasses in size, quantity, and quality any other crop of the fruit ever grown in the United States Its value is estimated at over $1,000,- 000. snug “I know of three or four edu-.

Retail Business ' Flourishing—Sales Largely Exceed Those of Corre- sponding Week Last Year. R. G. Dun. & Cos Weekly Review of Trade says: Lower temperature and holiday demands have combined to accelerate retail trade, sales large- ly exceeding the corresponding week in preceding years. Mich postpcned business is being made up and ship- ping departments are crowded with work, but wholesale trade has ruled quiet. Railroad earnings for Novem- ber exceeded last year’s by 7 per cent and ‘those of 1900 by 20.5 per cent. At first glance the sudden rise in furnace stocks of pig iron to 94%, 295 tons compared with 71,8568 on No- vember 1, might suggest that con- sumption was below production, but ohviously any accumulation that oc- curs is due to lack of transporting facilities, since needs are urgent, as evidenced by the imports of eastern steel works. The pressure is still greatest for railway supplies, with structural material next as to urg- ency of demand. Small supplemen- tary orders for spring shoes are re: ceived by New England shops, but the season is practically over. Aside from activity in Union sole, the leath- er market has been quiet. Further recessions have occurred in domestic hides. On the other hand, foreign dry hides are firmly held, despite in- creased receipts. Conditions are practically unchanged as to cotton goods, a fair volnme of orders pre- venting accumulation at the mills. Quotations are steady and export sales of heavy brown cottons con- tinue small. Woolen goods for next fall ‘have been opened at ap average advance of from 5 to 10 per cent. Failures this week in the United States are 269, against 204 last week, 213 the preceding week and 273 the corresponding week last year; in Canada, 30, against 15 last week, 16 the preceding week and 17 last year. Bradstreet’s says: Retail distribu- tion, further stimulated by colder weather and the advauce of the holi- day season, has cxpanded largely, until it easily occupies first position in the trade situation. Wheat, includ- ing flour, exports for the week end- ing December 11, aggregate 3,761,047 | bushels, against 5,704,440 bushels last week; 2,879.809 in this week last vear, and 4,783,677 In 1900.

The Repeated Initials. of Napoleon and Henry IV. Seen in Paris. For nearly a cemtury thousands of feet every month have pressed the present pavement on the river side of the lL.ouvre, in Paris, and as many eyes have looked on it, and yet, strange as it may seem, not until the pavement was quite recently repaired were huge letters discovered that take up the entire width of the way. Now, when attention is called to them, outlines of repeated initials of two sovereigns under whom the palace was largely increased can be plainly seen, and there they will be allowed to remain, though the pavement all around them be relaid. These paving stones are supposed €¢o have been put down by Lefuel when he laid the pave- ment, and in front of the Pavillion Lesdiguieres they are so arranged as to form two large letters “H,” evi- dently in memory of Henry IV. who finished the long gallery west of the southwest corner of the original quad- rangle. Two letters “N” are in front of the Pavillon Tremoille, initials that recall the great Napoleon, whese vic- tories in Italy gave him the spoils of its works of art in the beginning of the last century, that were placed in the Louvre, which under his direction was restored and completed and made the repository of the art works of France.

The New Law That Is Now in Force There. On April 1, 1903. Germany's new meat inspection law goes into effect, necessitating the erection of many new buildings for use as inspection’ staticns, etc., and among the experts employed will be microscopists, vet- erinary surgeons and chemists, en- tailing a preparatory expense that gives the law a stamp of permanency. It is believed that the inspection will materially retard the importation of meats, which amounted to over §7, 000,000 in value last year. It is re- ported that butcher's associations have within the past two months held many meetings to devise means of stopping the continual decrease in the supply of live stock available for their use. The sale of fresh meat to the laboring classes is steadily decreasing, which accounis for the gain .of over’ $1,200,000 in the importation of fresh and smoked fish last year, as com- pared with 1900. i The Londen Crowd. One of the things that most im- pressed - General Wood was the sto- lidity of the London crowds. They disappointed him. He heard so much of “British cheers” that he expected to see all American outbursts thrown into the shade. Instead of that he found less show of enthusiasm, even when the King and Queen rode through the city, than may be met with any day in the States at a base- ball match. This is a comment which American visitors often make, and not without reason. The London crowd is more hearty and vociferous than the French or German crowd, but compared with an American gathering on any big occasion, a po- litical meeting, for instance, a civic welcome to a victorious admiral, or a ’varsity football match, it as Aber waterfall to Niagara. On the other hand, it is claimed that Americans do not really cheer; they yell.—Lon- don Daily Chronicle. i POSITIVELY CURES JACOBS OIL Rheumatism Neuralgia Backache Headache BE Feetache : All Bodily Aches | AND CONQUERS PAIN.
