PITH AND POINT.
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.

\VEAIi OF THE EARTH
HOW THE FACE OF OUR GLOBE IS
CONTINUALLY CHANGING.
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;"

*ieep given to an ailing, teething, fcvcriuh, colicky, frctty infant.
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.
Laxakola, the great tonic laxative, Is nut only the most efficient of family remedies, but the most

A Hl** Pie Display.
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
