A Bad Stomach Lessens the eefalnesa and mars the happiness of life. It's a weak stomach, a stomach that can not properly perform its functions. Among its symptoms are distress after eating, nanse'a between meats, heartburn, belching, vomiting, flatu lency and nervons headache.

In the caves of La Mouthe and Font ifle Gam me in France have been discov ered some remarkable engravings and rough paintings on the rock, mada in prehistoric times, and representing an imals long since extinct. Among these the mammoth figures conspicuously. There are also striking pictures of the reindeer, which is known to have once been- an Inhabitant of Western Eu rope. Meterorologlcal Instruments of gigan tic size have been designed by M. Janssen for the summit of Mont Blanc, and are to be read by telescope from Chamonix. at the foot of the mountain. The barometer Is to have a huge dial, with hands moved by a platinum float on the mercury. pThe thermometer will contain several quarts of alcohol, and fwill have degree marks an Inch or taore apart. The force and direction of the wind will be estimated from tb deflection of an iron ball, filled (with mercury and suspended from a post. Arizona engineers regard the Grand ICanyon of the Colorado as affording one of the greatest fields in existence for the development of electricity from i (water power. In addition to the im mense power of the Colorado itself, large stores of energy are available iu (the smaller streams that leap into the fvast chasm. The plan by which the power of the main stream will, it is how thought, eventually be utilized is Ithat of "picking up" the fall of the river by means of tunnels. At a point about seventy miles north of Williami St Is said that a fall of 5,000 feet ca be found in a distance but little ex iceeding a mile. The Department of Agriculture is at present investigating the curious be lhavlor of certain plants growing o jibe Western prairies which are knowu iu loco-weeds. "Loco" in Spanish sig nifies crazy. Cattle and other animals feeding upon loco-weeds suffer a de jrangement of the .brain that prevents Iro-ordlnating movements. Several prteds belonging to the bean family are Included In this poisonous category, at has been asserted that a single Ho?e of some of these weeds will icause Insanity; but V. K. Chestnut, of fche Department of Agriculture, ex presses the belief that several days of feeding are required to produce a bad effect. A cloud is white because Its cor puscles of vapor are large enough to reflect all rays, large and small. But the npper air has infinite numbers of particles so minute that they throw back only the smaller or blue waves mt light, and not the larger red, yel low and green waves, and thus blue is the predominant, bnt not exclusive, icolor of the sky. This long-accepted theory of Prof. Tyndall's is now ques tioned by M. Spring, the Swiss phys icist. He has experimented with luminous, rays under many conditions, gettinjfall colors except blue, which failed to appear, until, by the aid of electricity, he secured a pure atmos phere. This was clearly tinged with blue, leading to the conclusion that the blue of the sky Is an essential quality pf the air, of chemical origin. Peor Child.

DISAGREEABLE REFLECTION The mirror never flatters; it tells the truth, no matter how much it may hurt the pride or how humiliating and disagreeable the reflections. A red, rough skin beauty, and blackheads, blotches - and-pimples are ruinous to the complexion, and no wonder such desperate efforts are made to hide these blemishes, and cover over the defects, and some never stop to consider the danger in skin foods, face, lotions, soaps, salves and powders, but apply them vigorously and often with out reerard to consequences.- and many complexions Bre rained Jbj the chemicals and poisons contained in these cosmetics. 1 Skin diseases are due to internal causes, to humors and poisons in the blood, and to attempt a cure by exter nal treatment is an endless, hopeless task. Some simple wash or ointment is often beneficial when the skin is much inflamed or itches, but yon cant depend upon local remedies for perma nent relief, for the blood is continually throwing off impurities which irritate and clog the glands and pores of the skin, and as long as the blood re mains unhealthy, just so long will the eruptions last. To effectually and per manently cure skin troubles the blood -must be purified and the system thoroughly cleansed and built up, and S. S: S., the well known blood purifier nd tonic, is acknowledged superior to all other remedies for this purpose. It is the only guaranteed strictly vegeta ble blood remedy. It never deranges the svstem or imoairs the dieestion like Potash and Arsenic and drugs of this character, but aids in the digestion and assimilation of food and improves the appetite.

TSZ SWIFT SPECIFIC GO ATLANTA GJ3; OUTPUT OF TOOTHPICKS. Millions Manufactured 1b America and Mora Imported. There is one article of manufacture that is used so extensively" In the Uni ted States that no one has an idea of the annual quantity consumed, namely, wooden toothpicks. According to an expert, the number is simply incalcul able. Millions upon millions of the tiny wooden slivers, are turned out every year from American factories alone, and on top of this tremendous output come importations from Portugal and Japan and other countries nearly as large-as the domestic product Most of the American toothpicks, ac cording to the New York Times, come from Franklin County, in Maine, near the forest home of the white birch, out of which 95 per cent of the domestic toothpicks are made. This wood Is soft and pliable and of admirable resistance for the purpose for which it is used. Whole mills in Maine are devoted t supplying the country with toothpicks, and In the Industry Is to be found some of the finest and most Intricate of ma chinery. So tremendous Is the output of these machines that in a brief sea son, during the spring, enough tooth picks can be made to supply the mar kets of the entire country for the year to come. A f urffler Idea of the capacity -of the machines may be had from the fact that only 100 men are necessary to operate and run all the mills In Franklin Coun ty. Other mills of this kind are scat tered throughout Pennsylvania and Massachusetts and western New York, but the real home of the toothpick is Maine. White birch Is not the only wood used for the domestic toothpick; maple and pcplar are employed as well, but birch has the property of retaining its forest odor and sweetness. The felling of toothpick trees is only incidental to the regular lumber work of the Maine foresters. No . especial. men are sent out to hunt up suitable trees. But whenever the foreman of a gang of woodsmen comes across a tree especially adapted to toothpicks he or ders it felled and laid aside. The branches of the tree are then trimmed md only the trunk itself is transported to the mills. There the bark is skinned and the naked trunk is run through a machine which severs it into veneers. Veneers" is the technical expression for thin strips of wood no thicker than a piece of blotting paper and no wider than the length of a toothpick. Once the trunk has been cut into these sheets of wood, only one process remains to turn out the toothpicks fit for packing and shipping to market. The veneers are fed into a second machineupplied with sharp, rotary knives that whirl at tremendous high speed, snipping the veneers into toothpicks at the rate of hundreds of thousands an hour. It is only the so-called "fancy" tooth pick that is not made in this country. In Portugal, from where most of the orangewood picks are Imported, the sticks are sharpened by young girls who, in return for turning out "picks" sharp as needles and smooth as Ivory, are paid 3 cents a day. The Japanese toothpicks are made, of. fine reeds, and are distinct from those sent to this country by the Portuguese manufacturers. A Japanese toothpick is delicate and thin as tissue paper, and nevertheless strong and pliable. The Japanese toothpick-maker earns even less than his Portuguese fellow crafts man, his remuneration being a fraction more than 2 cents a day. In short, a thousand toothpicks may be bought In Japan for as much as it coats to pack and box 5,000 of American make. -Children's Favorite Dead. Miss Elizabeth W.

Not long ago a certain door company received an order for a carload of doors from an embryo Texas town. The order .was filled and the doors ready for shipment, when a telegram was received canceling the order, and announcing that a letter of explanation would folllow. The letter arrived, and was found to be brief and much to the point. It read: "Cancel order for car load of doors. The town has suddenly gone prohibition, and so many doors could not be used in twenty years." Recently an American traveling in Russia, who bad neglected to provide himself with a passport, when he ar rived at the borders of the Czar's do mains, was held up by an official with a demand for his passport. For an in stant the American was stumped, but. so the story goes, he quickly rose to the emergency. Diving into his inside pocket, he pulled out his life insurance policy and handed it to the Russian. The latter gravely looked the paper over, carefully scrutinizing the impos ing-looking seal and the array of sig natures. Then, with a satisfied air, he handed back the paper, and the Amer ican passed on. The first Lord Ampthill once called upon Bismarck, and, while he waited in an ante-room- before being received by the German chancellor, out eame Count Harry Arnim, fanning himself with his handkerchief, and looking as if he were about to choke. "Well," he said, "I cannot understand how Bis marck can bear that smoking the strongest Havanas In a stuffy little room. I had to beg him to open the window." When the Englishman en tered the apartment he found Bis marck apparently gasping for breath at the open window. "What strange tastes some people have," the-chancel-tor said; "Arnim has just been with me, and he was so overpoweringly per fumed that I could stand it no longer, and had to open the window." A suburban Philadelphia banker tells with jrreat satisfaction a story that il lustrates well the almost incredible prowess In egg-laying of his hens. "Some time ago," he says, "an egg was left for a nest egg in the place where my hens lay. This nest; egg, the other day, hatched, and I have now one lone ly little chick, which . several dozen mothers care for. Here is the expla nation of this miracle: My hens are such steady layers that one would no sooner get off 'the nest .egg, having deposited a fresh egg beside it, than another would slip on, and in her turn lay. Thus by dozens of different, moth ers the solitary egg was hatched. Though no one hen 'sat or 'clooked on It, nevertheless it was kept always warm, and -in due time there stepped forth from it a lonely but vigorous chick." "TWO KITTIES." Some Queer Krrors Made by Children in Titles or Books. The children who make use of public libraries usually know quite as well as their elders what they want, although they make occasional mistakes in ask ing for it. A very natural confusion of a mod ern with an earlier classic was in the mind of that small boy, for Instance, who recently demanded "Golliwog's Travels," and the librarian, who finally Induced him to accept Gulliver's in stead, was excusable for being momen tarily puzzled. Nor was the; little girl Immediately served and satisfied who requested a book by Hannah Sanderson,, of which she could not remember the title. She knew It was in the library, because "Mamie Johnson had had it, and it was lovely." It was quite useless to inform her that no such book appeared in the cata logue; she merely thought the attend ant very stupid, and proceeded, by way of enlightening her, to describe the contents. When she mentioned that one story was about a frog princess, the official mind was suddenly illum ined, and she received the fairy tales of Hans Andersen which was what she wanted. An incident which, as the narrator . truly, say,, iwwild have delighted Dick ens himself, occurred at the Jackson Square branch of the New York Public Library not long ago, when a little girl needless to say a very little girl artlessly inquired for "A Tale of Two Kitties, by Charles Dickens." ; She was not of an age for novels, nor for thrill ing incidents of the French Revolution; the librarian saw her error, kindly ex plained that C in "Cities'' sounded like S, and offered her a book of pussy-cat stories suitable to her years. - She was quite satisfied to accept It. It was not Dickens shewanted, it was "kitties." ' : ENGLISH PLEASURE GARDENS. MaR-nificent Heritage Maintained Ad mirably Since the Tndor Period. English gardens are distinguished from those of continental . Europe, be cause they have had a continuous ex istence and history since the Tudor pe riod. Italian gardens were at their best late in the sixteenth century-and early In the seventeenth century, says the Architectural Record; but there after they declined just as all Italian ar declined. During the eighteenth century the local and cardinal princes maintained them; but they did not build new ones; and during the nine teenth century they have scarcely been kept in repair. The French garden reached its con summate expression in Versailles late in the seventeenth century. The crown so completely overshadowed French life at that time and during the eigh teenth century that the royal gardens are something more than royal: they are also national. But since the rev olution social and economic conltl.ns have not favored in France .the laying out of new and elaborate-gardens. Such gardens are a luxury, to be en joyed orly by' the. very rich, and French weakh tends to be distributed rather than concentrated. Moreover, French people, while they love the country and delight in flowers, are so social that th? characteristic expres sions of their modens life are urban. They have made Paris something both of a garden and a park, but individual Frenchmen .have not indulged in elab orate formal gardens for their person al pleasure. In England other conditions have prevailed. Ever since Tudor time there have been resident on the soil an ener getic and efficient aristocracy and landed gentry who were to a greater or less extent the real leaders of the country. They have for the most part been prosperous and progressive, liv ing on their estates acd adapting their social habits to country life. Conse quently throughout the whole of the time old gardens have been altered ! and new ones built; new ideas and in fluences have been constantly creeping in; and at the same time the conserva tive habits of England, the continuity of its life and the comparative absence of revolutionary 'and' military disturb ance have all contributed to the main tenance almost unimpaired of their magnificent heritage of gardens. There is no parallel In England to the partial decay and ruin of the great Italian and French gardens. Englishmen either . maintain or improve, or they destroy. It is true that their improvements are j more destructive than the negligence of Italians, but it Is at least the evi dence of a fresh and living Interest. HIS FIRST SUCCESS. Famous Portrait Painter Tells of an "Kcce Homo." " ' The first success1 of an -artist Is-al-ways interesting. G. P. A. Healy, the portrait painter, tells of his in his "Reminiscences." A Miss Stuart, who j had taken some interest in him, had lent him a print of Guido Reni's "Ecce Homo." He copied this on a canvas, and then colored it as best he could, without any help except as the study of his own face afforded for the flesh tints. Such as it was, says Mr. Healy, I carried the picture to a good-natured bookseller, who consented to put it in his shop window. I own that I often found an excuse for passing along that street, so as to give a rapid glance at my work. - -. . A Catholic priest from the country happened to pass that way, and stopped to look at the picture. After hesitating, he went In and asked whether the picture was for sale. My friend the bookseller must have had a twinkle in his eye as he answered that doubtless the artist would consent to part with his work for a consideration. "I am not rich," said the priest. "All I could scrape together would be ten dollars." . "I will speak to the artist and give you an answer-to-morrow." And on the morrow the priest carried away the "Ecce Homo" and the "artist", pocket ed the ten dollars. I do not know which was the happier of the two; but I rather fancy it was the boy painter. Some thirty years later, as I stood talking with some friends at the Cap itol In Washington, I saw an old man wearing a Roman collar. On hearing my name pronounced by one of my friends, he came up to me and said: "Are you Mr.Healy, the painter?" I bowed, -and he continued, with a smile: "I believe that I am the possessor of one of your earliest works, if not the earliest. Do you remember . an 'Ecce Homo' which you had placed in the window of a Boston bookseller? A country priest offered ten dollars for it. I am the priest, and your picture still hangs in my little church. I have always felt that I had something to do with your success in life." I shook my first patron heartily by the hand, and told him what joy his ten dollars had given me. A ROYAL ART STUDENT. The Sultan of Morocco Became a Very Tractable Pupil. Mulal-Abd-el-Aziz, Sultan of Moroc co, who often in the last year has drawn the eyes of the world to his monarchy in northern Africa, has learned that some things European are better than some things Moorish, and has set out to acquire them. Amon,' other things, he' learned that Euro peans paint, and he sent for an artist to teach his royal hand the art. The artist was Arthur Schneider, who tells the Century Magazine his experience with bis lordly pupil. " At the first audience with the Sul tan he showed some of his sketches. "Draw me a, man," . sald the Sultan. Mr. Schneider drew a charcoal sketch of an American Indian. The Sultan took paper and pencil, which he had never used before, and made a fair copy. The artist complimented him. "No, no," he replied; "but by and by, God willing, I shall be able to do as you do. Now I am only a beginner." Rather a modest spirit for a , lord of the earth. The next day the Sultan showed the drawing of the Indian besmudged and streaked. "Why has thy friend gone?" "It was done in charcoal and should have been fixed." ' "The same charcoal we burn in the fire-pot?" "Very like It." "Wondrous! Canst make a likeness of one standing by thee?" : "Yes, my lord." So Mr. Schneider drew the Moorish doctor, sprayed the drawing with "flxatif" and passed it to thethrone, where the royal fingers streaked it through but did not ' re move the charcoal. "Wonderful!" said Mulai-Abd-e:-Aziz. ' . : ! The Sultan soon learned to draw fairly well. Some of his drawings are reproduced in the magazine with Mr. Schneider's article.
