There are seven chicory factories In Michigan, with an aggregate capital of $175,000. Date palms brought In from Africa are thriving in Arizona and southern California. If the United States were as densely peopled as San Salvador, the smallest of American states, the population would be 550,000,000. The cost of the water supply in Man hattan and the Bronx at Its present scale Is fit the rate of more than $2 per head for every one of the population. The courthouse in Williamsburg. Va., where Patrick Ilenry made his famous speech on the stamp act, is still in ex istence. It Is used for judicial pur poses, ami every Saturday morning petty offenders are tried there. •The sensation among mining men in the southwest is the discovery of rich anthracite coal in Arizona In Inexhaust ible quantities. This means the de velopment of vast mineral beds hereto fore practically useless for lack of fuel. There are about B,Of JO self supporting Pueblo Indians in twenty-six villages, twenty of which have day schools, costing the United States not less than $20,000 annually, besides the much lar ger sum expended upon the boarding schools. BETWEEN THE ACTS. Bertha Gal land was born In Scran ton, Pa. Miss Maude Thomas is considered to be one of the handsomest women of the American stage.

Every man hides his deformity. We are all caught oftener than we imagine. When a woman acts'mud because a guest doesn't stay longer, she never means It. When you suddenly meet a man you lute, ever remark that you hope you are looking well? Every man outs his eyeteeth iu time. Ife may keep his troubles to himself, but not one ever escaped. Some women Just naturally boss their husbands, while others arrive at the same result by being clinging vines.—Atchison Globe. CASTOniA.

Geological Aftcntn That Are Altvayi Hun) la Xatnrc'N Great Workshop- Where Man linn Coinpurut 1 vely I.lt tie Influence. The atmosphere plays Its part In geo logical operations. Its corroding pow er, backed by rain and wind, helps to decay and disintegrate those rocks which are exposed to its Influence. Rain completes the work thus begun. Wind blows dust, sand and volcanic ushes over large tracts of earth—ln fact, over the whole of it. It Is only of late years that geolo gists have discovered that flue vol canic dust is carried over the whole of the earth's surface auu plays a very important part in the deep sea depos its. On deserts and nearly rainless re gions blown sand will wear away the hardest rocks by beating against them. Some sandstone formations ap pear to have been piled up by winds. Winds cause ocean currents, waves and storms. The great denuding power of the sea is largely due to the atmosphere. Some parts of the Eng lish coasts are being rapidly washed away. Plants and animals have their distribution considerably affected by winds and ocean currents. Again, whether living In water or on laud, animals live on the oxygen supplied from the atmosphere, and laud plants absorb carbonic acid from the same source. Kain acts in two ways: (1) chemic ally by dissolving certain substances, such as lime, out of the rocks, and (2) mechanically by wearing down their surfaces as it flows over them. Any old building—a ruined castle or cathe dral. for instance—shows a "weath ered" surface resulting from the ac tion of rain and wind. In sandstone structures the details of carving are often lost, and on old tombstones tlie lettering can hardly be deciphered. Springs are due to rainwater collecting In rocks and rising to the surface. Kivers are fed by rains and springs. A river is a very powerful geological ageut. Iu the hardest rocks rivers gradually carve out a valley or gorge. This Is accomplished partly by chemic ally dissolving certaiu mineral sub stances, but chiefly by mechanical erosion, the stoues, saud and mud wearing away the bed of a stream as they run and tumble over it. The finest examples of river action i are the famous cauyons of Colorado, which iu some places are gorges 5,000 or even 0,000 feet deep, with vertical sides. Hut, as already pointed out, rivers have a constructive action quite us important as their destructive ac tion. By bringing down their burden of sediment into lakes, estuaries and seas they build up great piles of rock and "sow the dust of continents to he." Glaciers are rivers of ice fed by the "eternal snows" of high mountain ranges such us the Alps. They wear out their own valleys as rivers do; they transport mud, sand and stones to great distances, in some cases sending tliem sealed up in icebergs to float far out to sea and on melting deposit their burdens on the sea floor. Off the coast of Newfoundland northern Icebergs are depositing a great mass of "gla cial drift." The sea is a great denuding agent; but its work is more constructive than destructive. It is the Workshop where nearly all the stratified rocks have been accumulated and runged in layers or strata. The rivers and ocean cur rents continually bring In fresh sup plies of debris even for hundreds of miles. Man, compared with the lower ani mals, produces but little effect as a ge ological agent. St ill the human race has considerably modified the distribu tion of plants by cutting down forests and by cultivating certain plants to supply food. So with animals. Cer tain useful species have been cultivat ed and enormously increased at the expense of others which prove useless or harmful. But plants and animals have had, and still have, far more influence geo logically. Coal seams are made up of vegetable remains of former periods. Forests have an important Influence on climate and on auimal as well as plant life. In the comparatively un known world of the ocean marine plants doubtless have important func tions. Marine animals accomplish n vast amount of geological constructive work. Great deposits thousands of feet thick owe their existence to small calcareous creatures living in the sea. Coral reefs afford the most familiar Illustration. The force kno\vn as heat is of great importance. The earth is hotter below the surface and probably has a very high temperature toward its center. In some places not very far below its surface it contains highly heated rock, which occasionally flows over the sur face during volcanic eruptions. In other places we find hot springs in con nection with volcanic action. lleat exercises a powerful influence on rocks deeply buried below tbe earth's surface, chiefly by means of heated water and steam. In this way rocks have been very much altered or "metamorphosed." The crystalline schists have thus been brought to their present state by a series of chemical changes due to heat, and there Is no doubt that they were once ordinary deposits of clay, sand, etc.—Hutchin son's "Autobiography of the Earth;" the Appleton Company.

AlnioHt detracted by its comtant crying:, and worn out with weary, anxious care and watching:, sbe tries every tiling possible to obtain eveu relief for the little sufferer. With what comfort uud delight she sees her little one drop off into a deep peaceful health-giving slumber, after its little clogged bowels are cleared of their poisonous burden by a single dose of Lazakola, the great touic laxative and mother's remedy. I.axakola is a pure, gentle and painless liquid laxative, and contains valuable tonic properties which not only act ujon the bowels, but tone up the entire system and purify the blood. A few drops can be given with safety to very young babies, which will often relieve colic by expelling the wind and gas that cause it. Great relief TS ex lierienced when administered to young children suffering from diarrhoea, accompanied with white or green evacuations, as it neutralizes the acidity of the bowels and carries out the cause of the fermentation. LAXAKOLA will aid digestion, relieve restlessness, assist nature, and induce sleep. For constii>ation, simple fevers, coated tongue, or any infantile troubles arising from a disordered condition of the stomach it is invaluable.

The greatest pie display of which history tells us took place In 1501), ut a dinner given after the funeral of Al breclit 1 king of IJavarla, at the roy al palace In Munich. There were seven great pies upon the table, representing the seven ages of the world. The first pie was made of apples. It represented Adam and Eve, the tree of knowledge, the snake and the apple. The pictures were made upon the crust with confec tions of sugar and almonds. Another pie was made of doves and bore a wonderful representation of I Noah's ark in its center, while round i the edge were placed figures of every | created thing. A key went with this | pie in order that it might be determin ed what these figures were intended to represent. ; I,'pon the crust of these wonderful ■ pastries appeared the tableaux of A bra- j j ham sacrificing Isaac, David slaying I Goliath, the ravens feeding Elijah, Sam son tearing open the jaws of the lion, and the last and most wonderful of all the pies when opened was found to I contain four living birds, which all be- | gun to slug. j 'your, faith ssjjrsf ours if you try - Shiloh's Consumption 4 4 4-m rx a "d °urs is so strong we 1 j| | | cf guarantee a cure or refund B money, and we send you • free trial bottle if you write for it.
