Eat in Haste And Buffer at leisure. When your abused Stomach can uo longer cheerfnTlv and properly perform its duties, a few doses of Hood's Sarsaparilla are like fresh water to a withered plant. This medicine tones the stomach, restores digestive strength, creates an appetite and with a little care lu diet, the putleut is soon again in perfect health. Try it and you'll believe it. Hood’s CONVERTED BY ELECTRICITY. Indians Attribute the Shock to White Man's Religions Power. Cape Albertson, of New York, owns an Episcopal prayer book which made more converts among the Dakota In dians than all the others ever printed. The book was bound In metal. At the top of each cover was an appliance for parlila Is America's Greatest Medicine. Hood’» Pills cure constipation. 25 cents. New French Microphone. A new microphone is being exhibited before the French Academy of Science«. It detects at a great distance the ap proach of a ship, whether an armored vessel or a torpedo boat, and gives its warning with great clearness. It is to be subjected to tests at Cherbourg. Some years ago Commander Banare proposed an instrument which he culled a hydrophone and by which he was able to hear at a distance of a mile ora mile and a half vibrations produced by a screw of a torpedo boat, or the more regular beat of the screw of a large bat tleship. It consisted of a water-tight box, tire vibratory plate being inside to prevent the pressure of the water from acting upon it too directly. The wires from the transmitter were carried first to a float to make sure the trans mitter would be continually immersed; from the float the wires were caried to a receiver on a ship or on tire shore. Thus with two or three miles of wire it becomes possible to receive warning of the approach of a vessel from four to five miles distant. Steel Sleepers in Switzerland. The St. Gothard Railway Company, in Switzerland and Italy report very satisfactory results from the use of 6teel sleepers on their lines. In 1882, when the road was opened, it was laid with wood sleepers, but as these have had to be replaced, it has been done with steel instead, and at the present time 70 per cent of the road is laid on eteel ties. The sleepers weigh 163 pounds each, are 8.85 feet long. The cost, when new, with attachments, is $1.95, which, allowing for the value of the old material and the cost of laying, is reducer! to $1.62 per sleeper, which is a saving of 7 per cent over wood Bleepers. The line is a heavy one, and the trains are hauler! at express speed. The engines weigh 100 tons each. The cost of eteel ties in the end is less than that of wood. In tunnels, wooden ties are preferred, as they are not liable to rust, but in other places the deteriora tion due to fust is absolutely insignifi cant. There is a curious superstition in Venice that if a stranger dies in a hotel the number of hie room will be lucky at the next lottery. A record in British deep sea diving was created on the Clyde, when Diver Walker descended 186 feet and was un der water for 40 minutes. CHRISTIANIZING BY SHOCK. the insertion of an electric wire. The missionary using it among the Indians had concealed in his clothing a small battery, which he connected with the prayer book. An Indian allowed to hold the book for a second felt a slight shock, and promptly attributed It to the power of the white man’s religion. How It Came to Re Victoria. The primate had been told by the prince that he liked good historical En glish names that everyone could under stand. What better name, he thought, than Queen Elizabeth. He mildly sug gested “Elizabeth,” "On no account," said the prince regent. "Charlotte, af ter your royal mother and the child’s royal aunt" “Certainly not” The Duchess of Kent relieved her feelings by a flood of tears. The Princess Mary kissed her and the baby cried. This spurred the mild archbishop. “What name is it your royal highness' pleas ure to command?” "What's her moth er’s name?" “Victoria." answered the Duke of Kent But his intervention was met by an irate look from the re gent The Duke of York, seeing that the christening must be hastened for ward if it was to be got through with at all, took on himself to say. "Alexan drian Victoria.” And so the queen missed being known in history as Geor giana. a fitting name for the last of the Georgiana dynasty, qu'elle resume, ex prime, et termine, but less suitable for a glorious reign of sixty years than Vic toria.—Contemporary Review.

The United States government is making great efforts bv scientific propa gation to restock the coast waters of Maine with lobsters, says a Bangor dis patch in the New York Sun. The United States fish commiesoners’ schooner Grampus, which has been at work along the coast for several mouths, has collected 1,750 see«.) lobsters from which 18,000,000 eggs have been ob tained and hatched out at Gloucester, Mass. Of these fry about 5,000,000 have been released in Casco bay and others are to be distributed at various places from Portland eastward. The fry are very small, but through the thin and transparent shell can be seen the perfectly formed lobster with the eyes e«|>ecially prominent. Con stant changes of water are neceaary to keep them alive. It is likely that a lobster hatchery will booh be estab lished on the Maine^coast, and before many years these shellfish will be as plentiful and cheap as ever they were.
