When wo It in front of a cotil fire and
enjoy ita generoud warmth, do wo real
bo that tho Boat and light of tlio
lag coal aro roally sunshine that has
been stored up for ages? Such li tho
fact. Centuries ago the sun qbohe on
tho earth, the plants and treed grew,
(ell, and grow agt\lp; they wero CpTot
pd by geologic deposit!, and upon
py great heat and pressure, \lntlll tho
fequrao of years and ages these
jay ere or organic matter were trans
formed Into coal. Tho coal thus repr*
fronts the work done by the suushlno
years ago, and when It Is burned tho
Imprisoned solar energy Is loosened
again-.
Our system of power production de
pends upon tills presence of energy. But
Soul Is a wasteful source of energy.
Even the best engines do not utilize
oyer 10 per cent, or the calculated ener
gy 6t the of coal. And, besides
this, it Is An Inconvenient thing In
many ways; It ha to be mined, freight
ed and stored. Can we not find some
more economical way of using the sun's
energy?
During tho last few years the great
progress In electrical science has ena
bled man to utilize the solar heat In a
thriftier way. During Its day's work
tho sun draws up a largo amount of
water from the oceans and damp earth.
By the action of its rays plant life flour
ishes, and pln.'its draw from the ground
andevaporutelntothoalr large amounts
of water. Thus an oak tree of average
size, with seven hundred thousand
leaves, lifts from the earth Into the air
about one hundred and twenty-three
tons of water during the five months
It displays Its foliage. This evaporated
water, sooner or later, falls as rain,
and by tho action of gravity begins to
flow downward. Thus the great rivers
aro fed. Bound and round Incessantly
goes the water lifted by the tireless sun
to fall when deserted by lilra, and again
to fall and run seaward as long as i*
may exist upon this eortli.
Tho Blow Oun.
The blow gun Is one of the most re
markable savage devices In which com
pressed air Is used as a motive force.
The blow gun is a simple tube of cano,
smoothly cleared of the Joint partitions,
through which light darts, feathered
with a tuft of down, or pieces of pith,
are propelled by the breath.
Tho blow gun is used for killing birds
and 6inall animals. Frequently tho
arrows arc poisoned, rendering the light
dart effective on larger game. Tho
chief merit of tho blow gun Is the ac
curacy and the silence with which It
may be employed.
The penetration of the blow gut dart
is greater than would bo Imagined. At
the distance of lifty feet I have driven
a blunt dart one-quarter of an inch into
a pine plank. It is stated that the range
of the blow gun among some tribes Is
from eighty to one hundred yards.
The blow gun is a tropical device,
and may bo looked for In regions where
bamboo or cane grows. Nevertheless,
these tubes are often made of hard
wood, single or of two pieces hollowed
out and joined together. Frequently
ono tube Is thrust Inside of unotlier to
secure rigidity. Tho examination of
many of these blow guns inspires a
great respect for tho ingenuity and me
chanical skill of tho workers.
Tho North American specimens aro
from the Cketlmacbas, of Louisiana,
who frequently combine the tubes in
series, forming a compound blow gun,
and the Cherokees, of tho Carolinas.
From Central America, the Indians of
Honduras and Costa Rica; from South
America, several Amazon tribes from
Ecuador east and from British Guianu
employ the blow gun.
IVlien Cromwell Was a Boy.
Apropos of tho statement that a man
of Kent has In his possession tho head
of Oliver Cromwell, and that Mr. Ila mo
Thornyeroft has been studying it for
tho bust of the protector upon which ho
is engaged, tho London correspondent
of the Manchester Evening News says:
"I have a dim recollection of being
present at a rural fuir long ago, and a
showman offered as his staple attrac
tion 'the skull of the renowned Olivet
Cromwell.' I paid my 2 pence, but a
hypercritical visitor standing by drew
the attention of the peripatetic gentle
man to tho obvious fact that the skull
pertained to a rather small child.
'That's all right,* was the Indignant re
tort; 'this is Oliver Cromwell's skull
wheu he was a boy.' "-—New York Mall
and Exuress.

AT THE GATE,
In the warm health-giving weather
My poor pale wife and I
Drive up and down tho little town
And the pleasant roads thereby:
Out in tho wholesome country
We wind, from the main highway,
In from the wood's grim solitudes—
Fair as the Lord's own day.
Wo have lived so long together.
And joyed and mourned as one,
That each with each, with a look for speech,
Or a touob, may talk as none
But loye's elect may comprehend-
Why, the touch of her haud on mine
Bpenks volume-wise, and tho smile of Her
eyes.
To me, is a song divine.
There are many places that lure us:—
"The old wood bridge" just west
Of town wo know—and tho creek below,
And tho banks the boys love best;
And "Beech Grove," too, on tho hill-top;
And "Tho Haunted House" beyond.
With its roof half off. and its old pump
trough
Adrift in the roadside pond.
We And our way to "The Marshes"—
At least where they used to be;
And "The Old Cainp Grounds;" and #, Tho
Indian Mounds."
And tho trunk of "The Council-Tree;"
We have crunched and splashed through
"Flint-Bed Ford;"
And at "Old Big Bee-Gum Spring"
We have stayed the cup, half lifted up
Hearing the redbird sing.
Tben there is "Wesley Chapel,"
With its little graveyard, lone
At the crossroads there, though the sua sets
fair
On wild-rose, mound and stone . .
A wee bod under tho willows—
My wife's hand on iny own—-
And our horse stops, too,. . and we hear
the coo
Of a dove in undertone.
Tho dusk, the dew and the silence!
"Old Charley" turns his head
Homeward then by tho 'pike again,
Though nover a word is said-
One more stop, and a lingering one—
After tho fields and farms, —
At tho old toll gate, with tho woman await
With a littlo girl in her arms.

THE ILLUSTRATION AT THE
ORTHOPEDIC.
BY MADGE BOBEBTSON.
HE young person
V k. aCr- ln <l"estiou was,
\vi * should think,
-V'A KLci about four years
M nut l she held,
on the occasion
of which I speak,
MT'-ithe undivided at
s tention of some
twonty young gontlomon and evon of
a couple of older gentlemen of scien
tific oimß. She was not so very im
portant a young porson, either, being
a charity patient at a famous hospital
whoro littlo ones of deformed limbs
aro treated. Yet, porhaps, Bho was not
EO very poor a little girl, becauso
there wero two rod ribbons tying up
her brown hair, and rjuito a wide frill
of laco about tho neck of hor plaid
dress.
Hor mother carried her into tho
locture room and placed her upon a
high table, and then loft her to danglo
her littlo baro logs until tho lecturer
should bo ready to UEO her as un illus
tration. The young peisou gazed
thoughtfully about the room, at tho
odd instruments behind hor and tho
students in front. Neither proved of
sufficient interest to retain her gazo
and sho presently devoted hor atten
tion to her mother, thu nurses and a
few other pitiful little ones in nu ad
joining room, who wero playing un
concernedly amid surroundings which
might have snddened thorn, had they
been older. Tho looturo was vividly
interesting and tho students looked ut
the little muid as they hud, porhaps,
looked at numerous otbor littlo maids
with red bows and big brown oyes, as
merely a convenient deformity that
made tho looturer's words easior to
understand. They were not a partio
ularly ploasnnt looking lot of young
meu. Their clothes fitted badly, and
it was obvious that their paths had
been rural and their bringing up un
careful. Our little girl, although sho
certainly could not have told why,
was not approving of them. She
looked them over, ns an older person
looks at a monotonous landscape, with
an eye opon for possible beauty.
"You see, gontlomon," tho lecturer
wont on, "the exactly opposito set of
conditions occur in theso two cases.
In tho boy's tbcro is talipes varus,
that is, the foot curves inward; in tho
girl"—tho child looked gravely down
upon him as ho took her littlo leg
gently in his hand aud moved it up
ward—"here is talipes valgus, tho
toot curves outward." The class bent
forward. "In thie, however, an ab
normal development of—." It was a
highly important illustration. Tho
medical journals had noted tho case nt
length. Only ono man in tho room
was looking elsewhore tbau at the pit
eonsly twisted limb in tho doctor's
hand. Tbcro was a look" about the
child's littlo mouth which reminded
him of some ono whom he should see
within a couplo of hours. They would
dine together. This was her birthday.
He would give her tho bonbons he had
chosen with such caro and which he
bad now in his pocket. He could see
her delight over the unexpected reve
lations in the box. It certuinly would
bo the first time sho had been pre
sented with her own initials on each
sweet. Then tho tongs with tiny golf
drivers for claws, and the tilagee
paper perfumed with wood-violet,
and tho criss-crossing of violet baby
ribbon over the mauve and white
candies. The bonbonniere was of
silver with a pretty lid. It was a love
of a box and he felt justly proud of it.
He was in a harry to see her eyes when
she opened it. The lecturo was good,
of course, but he should be glad when
it was over.
A bored sigh from tho little maid
echoed his .wish. Sho was look
ing dully about the room again and,
presently, her big brown eyes lit upon
the young man who leaned back while
the others leaned forward, and who
looked upon her with friendly eyes
while the others examined her soro
foot. She returned his glance with
grave scrutiny. He pleased her. He
was good to look upon. He had a
flower on his coat. Clearly this was
something sho did not expect among
this crowd of ugly men. The little
maid was unconsciously realizing the
difference between a good-looking
chap, with a good tailor and an eye
for ties, and the student who is too
absorbed to care what ho lias on.
They looked steadily at each other,
the young follow with a smile on his
lips and tho child with pleased ap
preciation dawning iu her eyes. Sud
denly sho smiled also. Then she
laughed aloud.
"Pretty man," she chuckled, point
ing with her chubby forefinger at the
well-groomed youth.
There was a roar from the class and
the young fellow blushed a fiery red
at tho houors thrust upon him. The
man next him grinned.
"Sho recognizes you, Loggatt," he
said.
The lecturer, with a smile, proceeded
to tho boy's case. The girl felt her
foot free aud extended hor arm to tho
class.
"J want to go to him," she cried,
her lips quivering with excitement.
"Hush, dear," said tho nurse, re
provingly. But tho child persisted.
"Tako mo down," sho begged, with
her eyes fixed on Leggatt.
He shook his head, smilingly, at her
and turned his faco resolutely toward
the lecturer. In a second or so, in
spito of himself, lio stole a glimpse at
tho child. She was still seated at the
table, dangling her poor little legs,
with hor arms pleadingly extended aud
with great tears gathering in her eyes.
Young Leggatt moved uneasily,
tried to look away, uttered a forcible
exclamation under his breath and then,
finally, with an impulse ho could not
control, dashed out of his seat to tho
front of tho room and took tho now
sobbing child in his arms.
Tho lecturer frowned -it was his
duty to frown—then turned his back
so that ho was not supposed to know
what was going o% The young fellow
retirod with tho ittTlo girl to tho end
of the hall aud sat down, takiug her
up on his knee. Tho nurse hovered
near. Tho littlo girl's eyes dancod.
Sho smiled up at the handsomo youth
while he was wiping her tours away.
Then sho proceeded to have ono of the
best times in her poor littlo life. Sho
found out why his hair was parted in
tho middle, and why ho woro a stick
pin. Sho counted tho diamonds in
his watch and traced his'initials on its
back. Sho learned how to make rab
bits out of handkorchicfs, and elicited
his admiration of her own now ono
with tho bluo flowers iu tho border.
His pockets revealed unknown treas
ures. She made hieroglyphics on his
ivory tablets with a silvor pencil. So
far there was mutual enjoyment.
It wai when sho was goiug through
his last pocket that sho unluckily
chanced on tho bonbonuiere. Tho
outsido box was tied with pretty pink
string. Sho wanted tho string. Tho
young man gave it to"her. Naturally,
then, she opened tho box to see what
was inside. This had not been tho
programme. Inside was another box.
How funny ! Tho second box was glit
tering. Funnier still I Perhaps it
would openalso. Just at this juueture
young Leggatt had his attention dis
tracted for ono perilous moment, and
when ho camo back to his* play with
tho little maid ho receivod an un
pleasant shock.
Sho had opened the silver lid and
was gaziug iu an ectaoy of delight at
tho sweets aud ribbons within. With
a fominino intuition sho recognized
the contents, although sho could nevor
havo seen anything similar. She
looked up at him, gaily, as if it had
been u gamo aud sho had found tho
handkerchief.
"Candies," she cried, joyfully.
"Yes," said tho miserablo but truth
ful young man. Then she generously
offered him one. He seized the oppor
tunity and took tho box from her.
"See," ho said, wishing he had never
been born, "pretty box shuts. Now,
wrap it up. Put it away," and ho
slipped it into his pocket. Her faco
looked grieved wonderment at him,
and ho weakly added, "Hunt for it
again."
She lookod doubtfully at him for a
minute while he basely tried to divert
her attention. Ho pointed out the
big clock beside him aud tho interest
ing fact that tho pendulum swuug all
night and all day. But tho little maid,
not being of the sex which is concerned
with the insides of machiuos, gave the
most cursory glance at tho clock and
began an instant search for tho fasci
nating candies.
The young fellow groaned within
himself. If it were an ordinary box
of bonbons, tho poor little thing
would bo welcomo to it. But this es
pecially ordered one, with her initials
on each caudy, tho precious tongs and
box from Biffay's with her monogram
on its lid ! There was no time to get
anything elso for her. In less than an
hour he would bo at her birthday din
ner. Why had ho been such an idiot
as not to have sont it by post? To let
himself into this scrape just bocauso
he was boguiled into wanting to givo
it into her hands himself and see her
radiant face. Aud if ho let her birth
day go by without a romindor, she
might indeed bo hurt. Perhaps sho
would say "No," when so careless a
lover asked her to marry him. Then
that fellow, Rowley—no doubt his
j present waß already received. Ho had
| been so cocksure of being able to
knock Rowley out with the daintiness
and appropriateness of his own gift.
Rowley would never have thought of
anything so novel. Hang it all, the
youngter should not have these can
dies. He would buy her a couple of
boxes to-morrow and send them to
her.
A sudden shuffling of feet warned
him that the locture had ceased. He
looked down at the child. She had
found the box and was preparing to
open it again.
"J must go, little one," he said. "I
will bring you two boxes of candies
to-morrow. Let mo have this one."
Rut she clung to tho box.
"No, baby keep it," she said, for
lornly.
It was the note in her voice that
told how accustomed she was to hav
ing things taken from her, that went
to young Leggatt's heart. He tried,
miserably, to detaoh her little fingers.
But she held tight and tho tears began
to come in her ejes. With a quick
ejaculation ho desisted from his half
hearted task. They looked at each
for a second in silence, the baby girl,
tho tears running down her cheeks, a
pitiful quiver OD her lips, the mau
with a struggle in his faco. She held
the box closo in both small hands.
Suddenly ho beckoned to the nurse.
"Will you take this little girl," ho
asked, gently kissing tho child good
bye. "There are a few sweeties hero,"
touching tho box, "I hope you will al
low her to keep them."
And ho hurried out of tho door.
Ho outstayed the others after tho
dinner party. The girl continued a
conversation. "It was not kind of
Mr. Rowly," she said, passionately,
"to embarrass me by giving me such
an expensive gift. A few fiowers one
likes. But a gold lined box with my
monogram on it, even if tho value of
it were disguised by filling it up with
candies! Why, even tho candies had
ray initials on them. It was execrably
bad taste."
Tho young fellow pondered within
himself. Had he any right to sail un
der false colors? Why not? But as
the girl fixed her clear eyes upon him,
ho involuntarily told tho truth. It
was a bold narrative and meant simply
to honestly emphasize tho fact, that
ho had been guilty of tho same bad
form as had ltowloy, aud therefore
deserving of no better treatment.
But somehow when ho finished—
though why should what was execra
ble tasto 111 Rowley bo thought a
touching kindness in Leggatt—there
were tears in tho girl's eyes and she
extendod hor hand.
"You will go and see tho little thing
again," she said softly," "and I—l—
should like to go with you."
"Always?" ventured the young fel
low, his heart beating painfully.
He kissed hor baud. Then ho kissed
hor arm. Then ho lookod up into hor
eyes, and then—ho kissed hor lips.—

llogs Uii'lor Military Drill,
Major Carpenter, a veteran who
conducts a farm near Stockbridge,
Mich., gave an exhibition yesterday
which proves that ordinary bogs may
be educated to a high degree. The
Major has introduced military discip
line among his porkers to such un ex
tent that they go through the evolu
tions with almost human precision.
Tho exhibition yesterday was given
by Major Carpenter for tho benefit of
a fosv former army comrades,who pro
novae*! it wonderful. Eight of tho
animals formed iu lino at the Major's
command, and stood liko so many
statues. In front of them, about two
rods, was a trough into which a farm
hand then dumped five or six pails of
mixed food. The hogs took groat in
terest iu tho operation, nud their lit
tle eyes twinkled in anticipation, but
not a hog of them stirred uutil tho
Major cried out: "Forward ! March !"
When thoy were three feet from the
trough ho commanded "Halt!" and
all stood still, though it was evident
they were laboring under great ex
citement. Finaually ho shouted
"Charge!" and eight porcine noses
went into tho trough at tho same in
stant. When tho meal was over tho
animals re-formed iu line, marched
solemnly to their pen and were dis
bauded by a wave of the Major's baud.

Prevalence ol Dental Neglect.
A dentist whoso practice has been
for many years largely among porsons
who would commonly bo called of a
"refined aud cultured class," is re
ported as finding tho neglect of clean
liness among tho children of such per
sons most astonishing. Ho states that
"these children were being trained in
all tho arts and science, yot in ono
school whero thero wore 700 pupils,
500 of them, from ten to eighteen
years of age, ouly fifty cloaued their
teeth twico a day, 275 used a tooth
brush sometimes, and 175 did not own
a toothbrush ; iu tho primary depart
ment, whero there were 200 childreu,
from six to ten years of age, it was
found that not more than ten were
provided with toothbrushes." Fur
ther inquiry and investigation showed
that this school wos not an exception
iu tho matter. Dr. Ritter, of Berlin,
found that of 007 porsons, 400 of
whom woro under fifteen years of age,
only forty-five, or slightly more than
five por cont., had perfectly sound
teeth.—New York Tribune.

would do all that was claimod for them. I
went at onoo to tho drug store of Gardner &
Davis and bought one box, following this
with another. With tho second box I bogau
to improve, and continued the use of tho
fills until I had taken twelve boxes, whon
was fully relieved of all rheumatic trouble,
f would say that it is nocoo3ary to follow tho
diroctlons minutely. They mean just what
they say, and to got tho best results with tho
Pink Pills you must do exactly as you are
told."
Replying to tho quostion as (o whether he
could recommend Pink Pills, Mr. Spencer
said:
"Recommend thorn? Well, I guess I can
recommend them! Why, I suffered night
and day beyond my powers to desoiibe. 1
consider it the only remedy which is suro to
cure rhoumutism. I cannot too forcibly ex
press my faith in Fiuk Pills for Palo Poo

AM whip
Whip a poorly nourished
horse when he is thoroughly
tired. He may go faster for a
few rods, but his condition
is soon the worse for it. Bet
ter stop and give him food.
Food gives force. If you are
thin, without appetite; pale,
because of thin blood; and
easily exhausted; why further
weaken the body by applying
the whip. Better begin on a
more permanent basis. Take
something which will build up
the tissues and supply force
to the muscular, digestive, and
nervous systems.
ScdUß&imitetorv,
of Cod-liver Oil, with hypo
phosphites, meets every de
mand. The cod-liver oil is a
food of great value. It pro
duces muscular, digestive, and
nervous force without the aid
of any whip. Every gain is a
substantial one. The hypo
phosphites give strength and
stability to the nervous sys
tem. The improved appetite,
richer blood, and better flesh
come to stay.

W. 0. Lloyd, a worklngraan, living
at No. 60 White av., in tho 18tU
Ward, Cleveland, 0., first bought
Ripans Tubules of Benflcld, the drug
gist. In an interview had with hiui
on tho Bth of May, 1895, by a repor
ter named A. B. Calhoun, residing
at 1717 East Madison av., Cleveland,
Mr. Lloyd said that ho was at pres
ent out of a job, but expected to go
to work next week at the Bridge
Works. "Anyway, I havo tho prom
iso of a job there," wcro his words.
Ho had boon out of employment
sinco last fall. Wo will let him tell
bis story iu his own words: "Work
was a little slack, and I was fooling
so bad that I concluded to lay off
for a few days, and when I returned
my place was filled, so I'vo been out
ever since. 1 don't care much,
though. I've been gaining right
along by my rest and treatment.
Last fall I went to a doctor who was
recommended to me as a good one
and with quite a reputation. He
gave me medieinos of all kinds for
nearly six weeks, and I got no bene
fit that I could see. In fact, I don't
boliovo he knows what is tho inuttor
with mo. A friend of mlno called
ono evening and told mo ho had
been using Ripans Tabules for a
short timo and ha 1 never found any
thing that helped his stomach and
llvor troubles us much as they did.
, He handed mo a circular about
them, which I read, and concluded
that they were just what I needed
and would fit ray case exactly. I
dropped Dr. at once, went over
to'the drugstore and got 9.50-eent box
I of them, out of which I took two a
day for uwhlle, and within three
days noticed and felt much improve
inent. That was about tho mlddltt
of December. Last February 1 gffl
another small box of tho Tabules
aud took part of them only, ns I wn3
feeling so much better that I didn't
think I needed any more. Tho
rest of the box I gave to John C ——
the other day. If I had heard of
thorn at tho timo I stopped work I
could have saved my doctor bill, and,
better than all, probably kept right
on with my work. But Ido not bo
grudge tho timo lost nor tho doctor
bill, as I fool I am well paid for hav
ing learnod of the Tabules. I now
feel no pain whatever In my
