SCIENCE HAS A DIVINING ROD
THAT SHAMES "WITCH HAZEL."
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 wltchhazeL A
simple apparatus has been devised for
the locating of ores and mineral-bearing
rock and eatth.
The new device pretty nearly elimin
ates the element of chance in mining
operations The principle Involved is
that a veirfof ore is a better conductor
of electricity than the earth around It
Two steel rods are connected with
each other, with an electric battery,
and with a delicate Instrument which
measures the resistance of the circuit
The rods are driven Into the ground,
and a I'.ght 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
end of the other. The resistance of the
earth Is noted, and the rods are moved
to any positions. This is repeated until
THE ELECTRIC DIVIJtlXG BOD.
a marked reduction of resistance Is
noted. Then the operators know that
one or both of the steel rods are over
or nearly oyer a body of mineral. By
repeated shifting, the location 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
vice say that, so far ns they know, there
need be no limit to the depth at which
they can work.
A stream with peculiar properties

Short Storie$ i
Henry Thomas Buckie's thoughts and
conversation were always on a high
level. Once he remarked: "Men and
women range themselves into three
classes, or orders, of Intelligence; yon
can tell the lowest class by their habit
of always talking about persons; the
next by the fact that their habit Is al
ways to converse about things; the
highest by their preference for the dis
cussion of Ideas."
It Is said that one of David B. Hill's
first lawsuits was a non-jury case la
which the opposing counsel was one of
the best attorneys in New York State.
Hill gave a speech which lasted about
three hours. It was such a speech as
might be expected from a young law
yer, and it was very trying to the court
After he had finished his opponent
arose and said: "May it please the court,
I intend to follow the example of my
young friend, and submit the case with
out argument" Hill lost the case.
When asked what he thought of a

L. It. Stockwell, the popular actor,
says that some years ago in this city,
when Peter Jackson, the colored pugil
ist was a feature In a revival of "Uncle
Tom's Cabin," "Bill" Nye was to have
lectured at the Baldwin Theater, but
was greeted by so small an audience
that he excused himself and went over
to hear Jackson talking of the pearly
gates to Little Eva. After the perform
ance Stockwell met Nye in the lobby of
the theater, and be exclaimed: "Hello,
Nye! What did you think of Peter?"
"Well," responded the humorist, dryly,
"anatomically he was great, but Uncle
Tomlcally he is the worst 1 ever saw."
Philadelphia boasts of a setter called
Bill, who recently aroused a sleeping
family in a burning bouse, when delay
would have meant death, and then him-
! self carried a little child to safety. Bill
i was asleep at the foot of the stairs on
jthe first floor, shortly after miduight,
j when the bouse caught fire. When the
smoke aroused him the family was still
asleep and unconscious of danger. He
instantly bounded up the stairs, bark
ing furiously at every step, until he
reached the rooms of his owners, Mr.
and Mrs. Charles Shannon, and tugged
at the bedclothes with his teeth. Mr.
Shannon awoke, and, alarmed by the
smoke, leaped out of bed, but before
he could get into bis clothes the dog
had caught the nightdress of Elvina,
a 6-year-old daughter of the family,
between his teeth, dragged her to the
floor, and bore her out Into the hallway,
where her parents took the child from
him and carried her to the street.
Origin of a Joke.
Dr. Piuders Fletrie, the eminent
archaeologist, announces that he has
deciphered the cuneiform inscription on
a tablet he excavated in the plains of
Assyria,and believes that it is a copy
of a prehistoric comic paper. Among
other items. It contains the following
merry jest, which bears a strangely fa
miliar sound:
"Now, there were gathered together
at the place of the tellins of stories,
many of them that have lived long in
the land, and one of them lifted up bis
voice, and said:
" 'Behold, It groweth cold with much
extremeness.'
"Whereupon another made answer,
saying:
" 'Verily, it doth. But let us separate
and get hence, for here cometh Me
thusalem, the aged, and If we tarry
he will even tell us again of the cold
spell of the year 40.'

A prominent Sunday school worker of
Indianapolis, J. M. Dungan, was con

lessons of the quarter at his old home
church in the country north of Franklin
and discussing customs of Biblical
times.
"Now, In those days, children, what
did they do when they entered a
house?" he asked.
"Took off their shoes," came a chorus
of respense.
"Ah, that's right children. But now
adays what do you take off when you
enter a house?" he asked, expecting to
hear them say "Your hat"
But there was silence for a time and
much thinking; then one little fellow
held up his hand.
"Well, what is it?"
"Your overshoes," said the little fel
low confidently.
The teacher at this point announced

Among the thousands of voluntary
1 endorsements of the great value of St.
Jacobs Oil for- sprains, stiffness and
soreness, is that of Mrs. G. Thomas,
4 Alexandra Road, Gelli, Ysbrod, near
Pontypridd, South Wales, who says:
"It is with great pleasure that I add
my willing testimony to the invaluable
excellence of your celebrated St Jacobs
Oil, as experienced in my own case. I
sprained both my ankles in walking
down some steps so severely that I was
unable to stand for 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 and
in a short time I was able to go about,
and soon after I was quite cured. I am
now determined to advise alt- 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 was suffer
ing so much, but we venture to suggest
that bad she called in any well known
medical man he would at once have
prescribed St. Jacobs Oil. for it has
conquered pain " upwards of 50 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 committees
who'"' made the awards were in each in
stance composed largely of the most
eminent medcial men obtainable. Mrs.
Thomas did not know the high opinion
in which St. Jacobs Oil is held by
almost every progressive medical man.

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 enre it
you most take internal remedies. Hall's Ca

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 such wonderful results in curing catarrh.

There Is a pathetic little story told of
one of the Russian children of the royal
family. She was very fond of white
swans, and her father had a great num
ber of them brought to the castle lakes
to please the little daughter. But
while she was still very small she died,
leaving the castle quite desolate. The

had black ones substituted in memory
of the gentle child.

THE CHILDREN ENJOY
Life ont 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 strengthen the internal organs
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 ones enjoy,
because of its pleasant flavor, its gentle action and its beneficial effects, is
Syrup of Figs and for the same reason it is the only laxative which should
be used by fathers and mothers.
Syrup of Figs is the only remedy which acts gently, pleasantly and
naturally without griping, irritating-, or nauseating and which cleanses the
system effectually, without producing that constipated habit which results
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, strong, 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 and
gentle Syrup of Figs.
Ita 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 as you value the health of
the little ones, do not accept any of the substitutes which unscrupulous deal
ers sometimes offer to increase their profits. The genuine article may- be
bought anywhere of all reliable druggists at fifty cents per bottle. Please
