SCIENTIFIC SCRAPS. A London physician, Stanley Iveni, claims to have discovered tbe specific bacillus of smallpox, after five years of experimenting. A tantalizing fact pointed out by an English astronomer is that Herr Witt's new planet between Mars and the earth was, in January, 1894, in a more favorable opposition for observation than it will be again until 1924. A German physician, Dr. lliegel, has made some important discoveries relating to internal diseases, by mak ing patients swallow a miniature pho tographic apparatus, and taking pic tures of the interior of the stomach. Dr. Joseph Cai ne Ross, physician to Ancoats hospital, Manchester, Eng land, writes in praise of a decoction of cinnamon as a cure for influenza. The treatment must be begun within twenty-four hours of the beginning of the attack. It is well known that the pressure of the atmosphere on the surface of the earth is about fifteen pounds to the square inch, equivalent, that is, to a pressure at the lower end of a col umn of mercury about thirty inches high, or to the pressure of a column of water thirty-four feet high. Careful weighing shows that an or dinary bee, not loaded, weighs the five thousandth part of a pound, so that it takes5000 bees to make a pound. But the loaded bee, when he comes in fresh from the fields and flowers, freighted with honey or bee bread, often weighs nearly three times more. ART AND SCIENCE. The Porter Knew More Than the Pro fessor About Shears. An article in Cornhill on the sim plicity anti ignorance of great men, says that Professor Huxley delivered a lecture at Newcastle-on-Ty ne, for which numerous diagrams were re quired. Old Alexander, the porter of the institution, and a favorite among the members of the society, was helping the professor to hang the diagrams, but the screen was not large enough, aucl the blank corner of one would overlap the illustration of another. The professor declared that he would cut off the margius, aud asked Alexander to bring him a pair of scis sors; but alas! they would not work, aud the learned man threw them down in disgust. “Vera guid shears, professor,” said Alexander. “I tell you they won’t cut,” ex claimed Huxley. i i Try again,’’said Alexander. “They will cut,” The professor tried again aud called, angrily: “Bring me another pair of scis sors. ” Sir William Armstrong stepped for ward at this point and ordered Alex ander to go out aud buy a uew pair. “Vera guid shears, Sir William,” persisted Alexander,aud he took them up, aud asked Huxley how he wanted the uaper Cut, “Cut it there,” said the professor, somewhat tartly, indicating the place with his forefinger. Alexander took the paper, inserted the scissors and cut off the required portion with the utmost neatness. Theu he turned to the professor, with a significant leer and twinkle of the eye. “Seeance an’ airt tlinna ay gang tlie getlier, professor,” said he. Huxley gave way to laughter, and so did everybody present, and of course the scientist paid the fine of his stupidity in a sovereign. Some one expressed amazement to Alexander that he should dare make freedom with Huxley. “Why, mon,” said Alexander with great emphasis, “they bits o’ professor bodies keu naething at a’ except their buiks.” A Story of Ye Olden Days. There is a proverbial phrase signify ing that Ihe wife is master in the household, by w'hicli it is intimated that “she wears the breeches.” The phrase is both odd and common, aud is only half understood by modern ex planations; hut iu medieval story we learn how “she” first put in her claim to wear this particular article of dress. A French writer of the thirteenth cen tury (Hugues Plaucelles) relates some of the adventures of a couple whose household was not entirely harmoni ous. Sire Haius was the husband; Dam3 Anieus, the wife. After a quarrel one evening Sire Haius said: “Early in the morning I will take off my breeches aud lay them down in the middle of the court, and the one who can win llietn will be acknowledged the master or mistress of the house.” Dame Anieus accepted the chal lenge. The battle was fought the uext morning. It was a loug battle, and it was bloody. At the end Sire Haius bore off the breeches, but the good dame had convinced the w-orld that she was entitled to wear them in her own house.—Cleveland Plain Dealer.

He says : "I had been a suf* tertrof rheumatism for a number of years and the pain at times was very intense. I tried all the proprietary medicines I could think or hear of, but received no relief. "I finally placed my case with several physicians and doctored with them for some time, but they failed to do me any good. Finally, with my hopes of relief nearly exhausted I read an article regarding Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People, which induced me to try them. I was anxious to get rid of the terrible disease and bought two boxes of the pills, I began usiug them about March, 1897 . After I had taken two boxes I was com pletely cured, and the pain has never returned.

Many other thousands have availed of the generous in vitation of Mrs. Pinkham to counsel all suffering \yomen free of charge. Mrs. H. J. Garretson, Bound Brook, N. J., writes; • « Dear Mrs. Pinkham —I have been tak ing Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound with the best results and can say from my heart that i your medicines are wonderful. My physician called my trouble – chronic inflammation of the left % ovary.

I became so weak I could not walk across the room without help. After giving up all hopes of recovery, I was advised to use Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com pound and wrote for special information. I began to improve from the first bottle, and am now fully restored to health.’* Ohen Stoves Were Invented. Stoves were invented early in the eighteenth century. Previous to 174f> the stoves in use in America were im ported either from Holland or Ger many, but in that year Benjamin Franklin invented a stove which was a great improvement on all that had preceded it. In 1771 he continued his inventions and produced a stove for burning bituminous coal which < on sumed its own smoke, and another which, after being filled and kindled at the top. could be inverted and made to burn from the base. Between the years 17S5 and 1795 several improve ments in stoves, ovens, heating and cooking apparatus were made by Ben jamin Thompson, of Woburn, Mass., In 1798 his soapstone-lined ranges were introduced into New York.

SUCCESSFUL ENTERPRISE BASED ON MERITS. The Importance of Informing tlie Public of the Value of au Artde Through the Leading Newspapers. The few remedies which have attained to wide-world fame, as truly beneficial in ef fect and giving satisfaction to millions of people everywhere, are the products of the knowledge of the most eminent phy sicians, and presented In the form most acceptable world's to the human system and by the skill of the great chemists: one of the most successful examples Is the Syrup of Figs manufactured by the Cali fornia Fig Syrup Co. Unlike a host of imitations and cheap substitutes, Syrup of Figs is permanently beneficial in its effects, and therefore lives and promotes good health, while inferior preparations are be ing cast aside and forgotten. In olden times if a remedy gave temporary relief to individuals here and there, it was thought good, but now-a-days a laxative remedy must give satisfaction to all. li you have never used Syrup of Figs, give it a trial; you will be pleased with it, and rec ommend it to your friends or to any who suffer from constipation, over-feeding, colds, headaches, biliousness, or other ills resulting from an inactive condition of the kidneys, liver and bowels. In the process of manufacturing the pleasant family laxative made by the California Fig Syrup Co., and named Syrup of Figs, figs are used, as they are pleasant to the taste; but tbe medicinal properties of the remedy are obtained from an excellent combination of plants known to te medicinally laxative and and to act original most beneficially. As the true manufac remedy, named Svrup of Figs, is tured by the California Fig Syrup Co. only, a knowledge of that fact will assist in avoiding tbe worthless imitations manu factured by other parties. The Company has selected for years past the leading pub lications of the United States through which to inform the public of the merits of its remedy. In the pool of existence many fine natures lurk at the bottom. To Core Constipation Forever. Take Cascarets Candy Cathartic. 10c or 25c. If C. C.
