A DEADLY
Bringing Out Borax From the Rifts In
Death Valley.
The deadliest occupation for men or
horses is teaming in the borax fields of
Death valley of the great American des
ert. There the longest teams in the
world are employed. Scientists declare
that the fierce heat In this narrow rent
in the cracked surface of the earth is
not equaled elsewhere in The world.
Where the thermometer often registers
140 degrees of heat unrelieved by even
a breath of air, where men sleep at
night in hollow ditches filled with wa
ter in order to avoid dying from col
lapse, the necessity for the longest
teams of mules and horses ever harness
ed to draw the great borax laden wag
ons is apparent.
The desert team is the longest in the
world, and the percentage of deaths
among the hbtses is greater than that
of domestic animals used in any other
calling. Forty to 60 horses are often
hitched to one of the lumbering vehi-
in which the borax is slowly drag
across the sun baked alkali plains.
Prae average life of even the sturdiest
horses used in this work is six months,
for in this length of time they either be
come broken winded, consumptive from
inhaling the deadly dust of the desert
or are driven crazy by the frightful heat

St will cure all Diseases caused by Derange
ment of the Liver and Bowels.
The SYMPTOMS of Liver Complaint are a
bitter or bad taste in the mouth; Pain in the
Back, Sides or Joints, often mistaken for Rheu
matism; Sour Stomach; Loss of Appetite;
Bowels alternately costive and lax; Headache:
Loss of Memory, with a painful sensation of
having failed to do something which ought to
have been done; Dfbility; Low Spirits, a thick
yellow appearance of the Skin ajH Ryes, a dry
Cough often mistaken for Consumption.
Sometime* many of these
the disease, at others very few; but the.XIVER
is generally the seat of the disease, and if not
Regulated in time, great suffering, wretched
ness and DEATH will ensue.
The following highly esteemed persons attest
to the virtues of Simmons Liver Regulator:
Gen. W. S. Holt, Pres. Ga. S. W. R. R. Co.; Rev
J. R. Felder. Perry, Ga.; Col. E. K. Sparks, Al

A man there, tbougn protected by the
wagon awnings from the sun’s rays,
cannot go an hour without water with
out danger of death. When a team
breaks flown and the water supply be
comes depleted, the men ride on at top
speed for the nearest source of supply,
and often when they return they find
that the remaining horses, made med
by thirst, have broken from the harness
{uifl dashed off only to find death in the
desert.
The borax wagons weigh 8,000
pounds and carry 20,000 pounds at a
load. Behind each wagon is ar tank con
taining hundreds of gallons of water.
The horses are harnessed in pairs, the
trained ouas in the lead, and the next
in intelligence just ahead of the tongue,
while the unruly and the youngsters are
hitched between. The nigh leader has
a bridle with the strap from the left
jaw shorter than the other, and from
the bridle runs a braided rope, which
tho driver, perched on the wagon seat,
holds in his right hand.
Tho rope is called the “jerk line” and
is a little longer than the team, which
stretches out several hundred feet in
front of the wagon. During the busy
season the borax wagons make an al
most continuous train, and the horses
alone, if placed in single file, would
make a team more than 100 miles long.
Besides a little food and water the
poor animals get no care. They curry
themselves by tolling in the burning
sand. After a few months of the killing
labor the poor Creatures become unfit
for service. A kindly rifle ball then ends
their agony, and their emaciated car
casses are left alongside the trail to fur
nish scant picking for the hovering vul
tures.—California Letter.
Yawning Fishes.
It is not generally known that fish
yawn. The writer saw a turbot yav. n
twice and a cod once, the latter being
one of the widest yawns accomplished
by any animal of its size. The yawn of
being something not common
ly seen, deserves particular description.
A turbot’s mouth is twisted on one
side, rather as if it had belonged to a
round fish which some one had accident
ally trod on and squashed half flat. The
yawn begins at the lips, which opens as
if to suck in water. Then the jaws be
come distended, and it is seen that this
is going to be a real, genuine subma
rine fish’s yawn. But the yawn goes on,
works through the back of its head, dis
tending the plates of the skull and
comes out at the gills, which open, show
the red inside, are inflated for a mo
ment, and then, with a kind of stretch
ing shiver of its back, the fish flattens
out again, until, if unusually bored, it
relieves itself by another yawn.—Pear
son’s Weekly.
NO WASTE of words.
Evidence Which is Kight to the Point and
Reliable.
Judge Frank Ives of District Court of
Crookston, Minn., says: For some time
1 have used Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
with seeming great benefit, with few ex
ceptions, I have not been so free from
indigestion in twenty-five years.
Geo. W. Roosevelt, U. 8 Consul to
Brussels, Belgium: Stuart’s Dyspepsia
Tablets, sate, pleasant to take, conve
nient to carry, give keen appetite, per
feet digestion.
Mr. W. D. Tomlin, Mechanical En
gineer, Duluth, Minn.: One box of Stu
art’s Dyspepsia Tablets has done its
work, and 1 am again gaining flesh and
strength.
O. E. Ransom, Hustonville, Ky.: I
was distrtssed and annoyed for two
years with throwing up food, often two
or three times a day; had no certainty
of retaining a meal if T ate one. Four,
boxes of the tablets from my druggist
have fully cured me I find them pleas
ant to take, convenient to carry.
Rev. G. D. Brown, Mondovi, Wis :
The effect of Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets
is simply marvelovs; a quiet heartv
ner of broiled beef steak causes no
tress since I began their use.
Over six thousand people in the state
of Michigan alone iu 1894 were cured of
stomach troubles by Stuart’s Dyspepsia
Tablets.
Full sized packages may be found at
all druggists at 50 cents, or sent by mail
on receipt of price from Stuart Co.,
Marshall, Mich.

eases, mailed free.
In 1803 Bombay was visited by a fire
which destroyed buildings to the value
of $3,000,000. The Indians regarded
the visitation as a mark of the anger of
the god Siva the Destroyer, and pene
tential offerings were made while the
fire was in progress to stay his vengeful
hand.
The name wheat is derived from a
Saxon word, “hwaete,” signifying
White, because the flour from this grain
is lighter in color than that from any
other.
