Science has armed herself with a di vining rod which cannot be open to the suspicion which has ever attached to the pronged twig of wltchbaxel. A simple apparatus has been devised for the locating of ores and mineral-bearing rock snd eaith. The new device pretty uearly elimin ates tbe element of chance In mining operations. " The principle Involved Is that a velu of ore Is a better conductor of electricity than the earth around It Two steel rods are connected with eiicb other; with an electric battery, and with a dellonte Instrument which measures the reslstsuce of the circuit The rods are driven Into the ground, and a light current is sent through the connecting wire. The current to com plete Its circuit must travel through the earth from the end of one rod to the eud of the other. Tbe resistance of the earth Is noted, and the rods are moved to auy positions. This is repeated until THE ELECTRIC DIVtMNO BOD. a marked reduction of resistance la noted. Then the operators know that one or both of the steel rods are over or nearly over a body of mineral. By repeated shifting, the locatlou of the; mineral Is narrowed down until the vein of ore can be mapped out with ab solute accuracy. Minerals have been located at a depth of 500 feet, and the operators of the de- J vice say that, so far ns they know, there : need lie no limit to the depth at which i they can work.

I sprained both my ankles in walking down some steps so severely that I was unable to stand tor several months. The pain I suffered was most severe, and nothing that I used helped me until I applied St. Jacobs Oil, when they immediately became better aud in a short time I was sule to go about, and soon after I was quite cured. I am now determined to advise all persons suffering from pains to use this won derful remedy, which did so much for me." Mrs. Thomas does not enlighten us as to what treatment she pursued dur ing the months she was unable to stand, and during which time she wss suffer ing so much, but we venture to suggest that had she called in any well known medical man he would at once have preocrihed St. Jacobs Oil. for it has conquered pain upwards of oO years, and doctors know there Is nothing so good. The proprietors of St. Jacobs Oil have been awarded twelve gold medals by different international exhi bitions as the premier pain-killing rem edy of the world.

THE CHILDREN ENJOY Life out of doors and out of the games which they play and the enjoy ment which they receive and the efforts which they make, comes the greater part of that healthful development which is so essential to their happiness when grown. When a laxative is needed the remedy which is given to them to cleanse and sweeten and atrengthen the internal organ on which it acts, should be such as physicians would sanction, because its component parts are known to be wholesome and the remedy itself free from every objectionable quality. The one remedy which physicians and parents, well-informed, approve and recommend and which the little one enjoy, because of its pleasant flavor, its gentle action and ita beneficial effects, is Syrup of Figs and for the aame reason it is the only laxative which should be used by fathers and mothers. Syrup of Figs la the only remedy which acta gently, pleasantly and naturally without griping, irritating, or nauseating and which cleanses the system effectually, without producing that constipated habit which resulta from the use of the old-time cathartics and modern Imitations, and against which the children should be so carefully guarded, If you would have them grow to manhood and womanhood, atrong, healthy and happy, do not give them medicines, when medicines are not needed, and when nature needs assistance in the way of a laxative, give them only the simple, pleasant aud gentle Syrup of Figs. Its quality is due not only to the excellence of the combination of the laxative principles of plants with pleasant aromatic syrups and juices, but also to our original method of manufacture and aa you value the health of the little onea, do not accept any of the substitutes which unscrupulous deal ers sometimes offer to increase their profits.
