Age of Tree Maturity.
Authorities on forestry say that 75
years are required for the oak to reach
maturity; or the ash, larch and elm,
about the same length of time; for
the spruce and fir, about 80 years.
After this time their groth remains
stationary for some years, and then de
cay begins. There are, however, some
exceptions, for oaks are still living
which are known to be 1,000 years old.
CATARRH CANNOT BE CURED
With local applications, as they cannot reach
the seat of the disease. Catarrh is a blood or
constitutional disease, and in order to cure it
you must take internal remedies. Hall's Ca
tarrh Cure is taken internally, and acts directly
on the blood and mucous surfaces. Hall's Ca
tarrh Cure is not a quack medicine. It was
prescribed by one of the best physicians in this
country for years, and is a regular prescription.
It is composed of the best tonics known, com
bined with the best blood purifiers, acting di
rectly on the mucous surfaces. The perfect
combination of the two ingredients is what pro
duces Buch wonderful results in curing catarrh.

Talking; with the People of Mara Is Bob
ject tj Many Difficulties.
There are many things to be taken
for granted before we can believe that
it Is possible to communicate' with
Mars.
1. That the planet Mars Is Inhabited.
2. That It Is inhabited by beings hav
ing a writ tea or spoken language, or
both.
3. That these people are as well up
In astronomy as we are.
4. In order to base any hopes on the
experiment with the kite man. we
must believe that the people of Mars
(or some other planet, the particular
one not being material to the main
question) have not only discovered
wireless telegraphy, but have carried
It much nearer to perfection tbau any
body on this planet has done.
All these things are pretty hard ,to
determine. We may imagiue. assev
erate, debate about them at will,
weigh possibilities and probabilities,
but at last we may come buck to the
bold and uncomfortable fact that we
know nothing about them. Whatever
we say about them Is pure guesswork.
But If all of them were positively
known with scientific accuracy, the
difficulties In the way of communicat
ing with Mars or any other planet
would still be enormous. We have and
can have not the slightest knowledge
of what sort of language the people of
Mars speak. It Is safe to sny that they
are not in possession of the Morse al
phabet or anything like it. If they sent
us signals they would be wholly unin
telligible. If they could write or print
words In their language upon any sub
stance attached to an instrument we
could not read them. Mars lias an aver
age distance from the earth from the
earth of nearly 50,000.000 miles, but .lt
sometimes gets within 35,000,000. Wire
less telegraphy will have to make great
advances before It can cover a distance
like that If we are ever able to signal
the planet Mars In any way and get a
return signal it will be a very Interest
ing event in the annals of the world,
but we shall not be able to understand

APACHE TRIED SALT TEST.
Old Chief Victoria B lected Warriors
by an Up-to-Date Jetho-j.
In the early days of Union Pacific
railroading, Victoria, Nana, and the
present Geronlmo, the three chiefs of
the Arizona Apaches, with 100 of their
best bucks, came through to Green
River, Wyoming.
They had heard of the "heap wagon
and no hoss" and had come to stop the
train. They made a lasso of rawhide,
and fifty men on each side held on to
the rope as the freight came down the
Wasatch divide. The engineer saw
when several miles away what the
Indians were up to, so he whistled "oft
brakes," and, opening his throttle, let
her loose. The cowcatcher struck the
rope and hurled the Indians in all di
rections, literally tearing them to
pieces, headless, armless, and legless.
Three, chiefs went south to their cactus
plains, very crestfallen.'' ; -
Before the selected these men the old
Chief Victoria had them all eat a piece
of rock salt about as big as a pecan,
run swiftly about 100 yards, sit down
on a log or rock, and cross their legs.
Then he watched the vibration of the
feet which were crossed. The feet
which vibrated the longest or had the
longest strokes he declined to accept
for a severe duty or a dangerous trip,
or for one that was at all hazardous.
But he accepted the feet which vib
rated short, distinct and regular
strokes.
Now, what did that old chief know
about pulsation of the arterial system
or of heart action, and, indeed, about
salt In the system? I have lived near
to Indian reservations and have had
occasion often to survey over their
lands for railraods and other objects,
and since this salt controversy I have
wondered where old Victoria got his
ideas. Is not the child of the sage
brush plains better posted than his
pale face brother?

The usher went away, and presently
came .back and handed him a small
package.
When the curtain went down at the
close of the first act he turned in his
seat and said with a smile to tbe young
woman directly -behind him:
" "I beg your pardon, miss, but may I
ask a slight favor of you?"
"What is itr she said. '
"Please use this stick of gum in place
of the kind you are chewing. The odor
of wintergreen is very offensive to
me."
After that he was not disturbed.

HARD JU BEAR
Story of a Druggist Who Was
Always Compounding Rem
edies for Others Yet
Suffered Agonies
Himself.
From the Republican .Eldorado, III
Perhaps in no case where stomach
trouble was the ailment has the effi
ciency of a popular remedy been so
thoroughly demonstrated as in the case
of W. E. Mathis, a prominent druggist
of Eldorado, 111. The story as told by
Mr. Mathis is as follows:
"In the spring of 1894 I had a very
serious case of indigestion. Mv tnm.
ach commenced to give me great trouble,
ano, wniie i Knew tbe . nature of tbe
pain, I did not at first use the proper
precaution. For some time I did not
pay anv attention, but it gradually
grew worse, when I consulted a phy
sician, who prescribed for me. I used
his medicine according to inatmotinne
I began to experience nervous spells,
became subject to congestion of tbe
stomach, and considered myself in a
precarious condition. The physician's
medicine and other remedies I tried
failed to bene6t me.
"One day a friend urged me to try
Dr. Williams' Fink Pills for Pale Peo
ple. I considered it a useless experi
ment, but as I had tried everything
else, I agreed to take them. That was
three and a half years ago. When I
bad used three boxes I could note very
plainly the ohange for the better.
When I had used the seventh box I
was cured.
"The pills have not 'only cured the
indigestion, bat tney have also cured
my nervousness, my blood is in perfect
condition, and they have brought my
weight from 140 pounds at the com
mencement of the stomach trouble to
180 at present.

to know more of my experience I will
