in vitality, just as pimples and other

jAN INDESCRIBABLE TORTURE
,fj Because Rheumatism sometimes comes on suddenly it doesn't
,d prove that it is a chance disease or one due to accidental causes. It
"takes time for it to develop, and is at work in the system long before
Uny symptoms are felf. The blood i3 the first point of attack, and
jthe poisonous acids that cause the aches and pains are thea distrib
uted through the circulation to different parts of the system, and
fettle in joints, muscles and nerves ; and when the system is in this
condition it needs only some exciting cause like exposure to night air,
lamp, chilly weather, or the cold, bleak winds of winter, to arouse
j the slumbering poisons and bring on Rheumatism. The severity
jf the attack depends upon the amount of acid in the blood and the
i iUantitv of arrirl matter in tVia
points and muscles. Some peo
Dle are almost helpless from the
l first, while others have occa
y'aal spells or are uncomforta
ble, restless, nervotji and half
pick all the time from the
gagging aches and pains. Rheu-

Growing Stock by Electriolty.
The possibilities of electricity have
never yet been fully demonstrated. Its
beneficial effect upon growing plants
in the way of hastening development
has been proved to an extent, and now
the mysterious fluid Is being tried on
animals at the University of Michigan,
at Ann Arbor. It has been demon
strated that rabbits enclosed in a pen
about which run a number of electrically-charged
wires reach maturity
in two-thirds the time taken by those
kept under normal conditions. The
electrically-treated animals were in all
respects healthy and their flesh has
been found to be unusually tender. It
is thought possible that the same treat
ment may be applied to, beef cattle,
making a 2-year-old steer as large as
one 3 years old under present condi
tion, besides producing a superior
quality of beef.

FLYING REPTILES OF OLD.
Of Great Size, They Were Once More
Common Than Birds.
We are apt to think of reptiles as
creeping and crawling things, forget
ting that there was a time when flying
reptiles were more common than birds.
These reptiles, the pterodactyls, or fly
ing dragons, not only flew, but some
of thein reached a size much greater
than that of any bird, for the largest
birds do not fly. The South American
condor sometimes measures as much as
ten and one-half feet from tip to tip
of outstretched wings, and it is quite
possible that the finest examples of
the albatross may measure a little,
more. But the great pterodactyls
which flew about the sea that in the
days of old reached from the Gulf of
Mexico to the Rocky Mountains, meas
ure as much as twenty feet, the
width of an average city lot, across
their wings.
Most of us have seen an eagle flying,
and we can appreciate the size of this
ancient dragon by remembering that it
was nearly three times the size of an
eagle. It was not, however, three
times as heavy, for the body of this
strnnge reptile was so small and its
skeleton so wonHorf-jiiy u-i
entire animal is thought to have weigh
ed not more than twenty-five pounds,
or only about as much as a large con
dor. One of the largest bones of the
wing, two feet long and two inches
through, was, as Prof. Willlston tells
us, no thicker than a sheet of blotting
paper, and the great head, with a beak
over three feet long, was equally light
This great toothless beak is believed
to have been used for snapping up
fishes; and we can imagine this huge
creature sailing swiftly over the sea,
now and then swooping down to pick
up a fish as deftly, for all its size, as
a real swallow.
But what did Ornithostoma this la
the animal's name do with his wings
and beak when he made an occasional
visit to the landT One would think
they must have been very much in his
way, and that the animal was as awk
ward on the shore as he was graceful
in the air. And how did he start to
fly? With such enormous wings, we
think Ornithostoma must have dwell
on cliffs about the sea and launched off
them as the gannets do from Bird
Rock. This great flying reptile lived
some six million years ago; the sea
over which it flew long ago disap
peared, and the mud into which its
bones sank became chalk, and from
the formation of these great chalk
beds the time at which Ornithostoma
existed is called the Cretaceous Pe
riod. St. Nicholas.

The pneumatic engine, which is de

to 150 strokes a minute, depending on
the pressure of air used. At sixty
pounds' pressure it will develop 2,

fifty pounds, lelng constructed almost

A Graphic Imagination.
Nathan's teacher believed in reduc

line. Therefore, says the Boston Her
ald, she told the class to make a rough
Illustration of the poem, "The Old
Oaken Bucket."
Nathan's Illustration consisted of a
large circle, three buckets and a bunch
of dots.
"Nathan," said the teacher, "I don't
understand this. What's the circle?"
"That's the well," replied Nathan.
"And why have you three buckets?"
"One is the old oaken bucket, one is
the Iron-bound bucket, and the other is
the moss-covered bucket which bung
in the well."
"And what are all those little dots?"
"Those are the loved spots which my
Infancy knew."

A Christian Work.
Chicago wealthy men are to rescue
from the slums of that city the good
people who, by force of circumstances,
are compelled tp live amid degrading
surroundings. Land will be bought for
them and farms equipped and the debt
will be repaid by installments on easy
terms. John Lambert is at the head of
the movement. It Is intended that the
movement will extend to every Ameri
can city of consequence. It is thought
by its workings that 1,000,000 persons
will be transferred from the misery,
drunkenness and temptations of con
gested sections to the pure air and in
vigorating and wholesome life on the
farm.
A' girl signing herself "Fifine"
writes as follows: For fifteen years I
have done my duty by my friends.
When engagements were announced I
got up bose nnd handkerchief showers,
decorated for the .wedding, and gave
more costly presents than I could af
ford. When their babies came I gave
again. I am getting tired of it, and
ask you to inaugurate a Fay Back
shower. I want some of the things
paid back, and a new style of
Fuy Back parties would compensate
me for what I have given."
An Easy Way to Do It.
Mineral, Idaho, April 11. Mr. D.
S. Colson of this place has something
to say which will be of interest to
many men Mr. Colson claims to have
found a simple way to get rid of pains
in the back, Sciatica or Rheumatism.
He has cured himself and so claims per
sonal experience in proof of his method.
Mr. Colson says:
"I had awful pains in my hip. They
got so bad at last that I could hadly
walk. I tried several things but got
no relief till I began to use Dodd's
Kidney Pills and I had taken but a
few of these pills till the pain left me
entirely.
"Dodd's Kidney Pills certainly did
me lots of good and I consider them a
great medicine."
The remedy that cured Mr. Colson is
the same that has been making such
sensational cures of Bright's Disease,
Diabetes, Dropsy and Rheumatism all
over the country. The name of the
medicine is Dodd's Kidney Pills.
Swearing Spoils Horses.
A well-known owner of nice horses,
not at all a sentimental person, re
cently made an order forbidding his
employes to talk In loud tones or to
swear in the stable. "I have never
yet seen a good mannered horse," he
says, "that was being sworn at all
the time. It hurts the feelings of a
sensitive horse, nnd I'll keep my word
good to discharge any man In "'my
employ if I catch him swearing with
in the hearing of any horse in this
stable."
