Deep Gold Mines.
The deepest gold mine is still to be
credited to Bendigo, in Victoria, Aus
tralia, although the time is coming
when the Kand, South Africa, will
claim the record. For the present the
Victoria quartz mine, at Bendigo, has
probed deeper into the earth than any
other digging after gold; work is now
going on in this mine at 3,950 feet, a
winze having been sunk 250 feet be
low the lowest level, at 3,700 feet.
Among its neighbors the Victoria
quartz mine has the New Chum Rail
way, with work proceeding at 3,856
feet, and the New Chum consolidated
3,815 feet. The celebrated "180" mine,
the property of Geo. Lansell and long
the deepest gold mine in the world, is
being exploited at 3,250 feet, although
the shaft itself is 200 feet deeper.

VALUE OF SCIENTIFIC FASTING.
Better Than Medicine, bat Few People
Qua Stand the Strain.
Jesus is frequently quoted to prove
that fasting Is a physical benefit; says
the Kansas City Journal. Jesus fast
ed frequently himself. He taught cer
tain miracles could only be performed
after fasting and prayer; therefore, It
Is concluded by those who believe In
fasting that fasting Is good for the
physical body.
This conclusion is not necessarily
correct It is well known that Jesus
often sacrificed the good of his body
for spiritual ends. He was also fre
quently hungered and overtired.
The mission of Jesus places the body
necessarily secondary to spiritual ends.
It is, therefore, unjust to quote his
physical self-denials as rules for the
upbuilding of the human body.
Whether one fasts or n6t depends
upon the 'person. If we were asked
the question, "Will fasting do me
good?" it would place us In the same
predicament as If some one should
ask us the question. "Shall I cease
earning money for a time and draw
checks to pay my expenses?" That all
depends on whether you have money
in the bank. A man with a large sur
plus In the bank might very profitably
stop earning money for a little season
and depend on his bank account for his
support but If he had no money in the
bank this would be a ruinous expert
ment
Exactly so with the fasting. If
man has plenty of reserve vitality,
fast might be a good thing for him
But all those people who live active,
mental or physical lives and have
very narrow margin of reserve vital
ity had better not fast Their problem
is not to interrupt the nutritive proc
esses, but rather to enlarge them if
possible. There are lots of people
who ought to eat more instead of eat
ing less. Those people who make
fad of fasting are just as apt to do
harm as those other, people who prac
tice and preach gluttony.
There are no hard and fast rules
to apply to this subject Each individ
ual case requires special attention.
Every person must decide largely for
himself.
If the blood Is thick and the body
Inclined to overfieshiness, appetite ca
pricious and there Is a desire for con
diments and stimulants with the food,
then doubtless, a good fast will be
beneficial. Throw the body upon Its
own resources. Let the digestive or
gans have a rest Allow nature to burn
up some of the effete and surplus ma
terial already lodged In the body. A
fast for such a person would be better
than medicine.
But a person who has a keen ap
petite, properly curbed, who. eats only
a moderate amount of food, well se
lected, who Is carrying no more flesh
than he ought to have, Is not troubled
with dyspepsia or Irregular appetite,
such a person will only unbalance his
bodily powers and derange his physical
forces by attempting to fast
The best way to fast, after all, is
to fast a little with each meal. Stop
eating before the appetite is satisfied.
If you are not hungry at meal time
omit one meal. You will doubtless be
hungry by the next meal, then eat
only about one-half as much as you
want
A Tight Place.
It was a gay time In Congress one
night when there was an all-night ses
sion on the Mills tariff bill in 1888.
It had been difficult to keep a suffi
cient attendance, and the House had
adopted a resolution directing the ser-
geant-at-arms to compel the presence
of absent members. One by one they
were brought before the bar of the
House, and after making all sorts of
excuses and explanations, were per
mitted to go unpunished.
About midnight Congressman Hen
derson was brought before the Speak
er. He had, he said, no excuse to
offer.
"I was at a theater party," he con
tinued, "when I was arrested and
brought here. There is no sort of ex
cuse for absence without leave."
"I move that the gentleman from
Iowa be fined $5,000!" called one of
Henderson's colleagues.
"I second that motion!" shouted
twenty or more members, all of them
his friends.
"It Is moved and seconded," said
Speaker Carlisle, "that the gentleman
from Iowa be fined $5,000. Those in
favor of the motion will say, Aye.' "
Two hundred voices shouted. "Aye!"
"Those opposed will say, 'No.' "
Henderson's agonized voice was
alone in yelling "No!"
There was but one way to slip out
of the joke and prevent the motion
from being carried, and that was for
Speaker Carlisle to overrule the House.
"The noes have it" said he, gravely.
The gentleman is excused."
True Beat of Pulse.
Most people overestimate their

"Miss Hammerton," he said, "you

"While I appreciate your kindness and

"Pardon me for interrupting you, Miss

Reads Like a Miracle.
Moravia, N. Y.t Dec. 12th. (Spec

the case of Mrs. Benj. Wilson of this

she wasted away till from weighing 200
lbs she barely tipped the scales at ISO
lbs. Dodd's Kidney Pills cured her.
Speaking of her cure her husband
says:
"My wife suffered everything from
Sugar Diabetes. She was sick four
years and doctored with two doctors,
but received no benefit. She had so
much pain all over her that she could
not rest day or night. The doctor said
that she could not live.
"Then an advertisement led me to
try Dodd'e Kidney Pills and they help
ed Iier right from the first. Five boxes
of them cured her. Dodd's Kidney
Pills wer a God-sent remedy to us and
we recommend them to all suffering
from Kidney Disease."
