Iler o wners, Bark foot & Co. of the latter port, gave her up for lost, and since that time until last month her fate remained a mystery to the world. It was an empty and tightly cork ed wine bottle that brought the sto -tv of her fate and that of Captain 'Lee and his crew to land. The bot’ tie was discovered by Captain Lom bard on the beach of island of Fukave, situated in the soul', seas, and the note it contained reads follows: “Will the finder of this inform Messrs. Barkfoot & Co. of Port Said that their schooner Ethtf founder ed about 1,000 miles from Bombay? This note is written by the sole sur vivors, Captain I^ee and Seaman Thomas, who are in their last hopes Signed, J. T. Lee, Jan. 26 or 27, 1897.” Curious Properties of Radium. The properties of radium ure ex tremely curious. This body emits with great intensity all of the dif ferent rays that are produced in a vacuum tube. The radiation, meas ured by means of an electroscope, is at least a million times more power ful than t. at from an equal quan tity of ura.iium. A charged elec troscope placed at a distance of sev eral meters can be discharged by a few centigrams of a radium salt. One can also discliarge an electro scope through a screen of glass or lead five or six centimeters thick. Photographic plates placed in the vicinity of radium are almost in stantly afTected if no screen inter cepts the rays. With screens the action is slower, but it still takes place through very thick ones if the exposure is sufficiently long. Radi um can therefore be used in the pro duction of radiographs.—Mine.

Harriman intends to sub stitute white porters for negroes on sleeping and parlor ears on the Un ion Pacific road. This change is to he made gradually and is of an ex ? erimental character. The Union ’acific passenger department has received complaints for nearly a year that negro porters were impudent and inattentive to their duties ex cept when in receipt of liberal tips. In fact, in some instances aggressive insistence upon tips has become a crying nuisance. Orders have gone out on some divisions of the Union Pacific system to dispense with ne gro porters and employ in their stead white men at an advance oi $12.50 per month in wages. The reason assigned is “for the good of the service.” If white porters prove effective and acceptable the change will probably be made general on all Harriman transcontinental lines. Hew Bahia* Cry Whan Thay Ara III. Mothers are often worried us tc what ths cries of their infants mean when the}' stem to be sick or in pain and frequently arc apt to diagnose the caso wrongfully. As a mutter of fact, when an infant is danger ously ill it seldom cries, so that when it begins to cry a great deal during a severe illness it is usually sign of amendment. When a ..child suffers from inflam mation of the lungs, it moans, lmt rarely cries. When suffering from bronchitis, the erv is gruff and rat tling. When suffering from croup, the cry is sharp and fretful. When liungrv, it is fretful and wailing. fWtLROV-SMAfWON SPRINGS NOT SPRUNG 50,000 Free Sam pie sj You Can Get One. J«es of Shark Fln».

For Falling Hair. Kerosene is good for the hair and scalp and is not so greasy as vase line, being more quickly absorbed. Brush the hair well.before using and rub on the scalp with the finger tips. Plain gin is also a good scalp tonic. While the hair is in n weak ened condition ii shi-uid not be brushed hard, c-trled with hot irons or elaborately dre sed. Try to give it a rest. Shampoo it only once in six weeks until it is in better condi tion. Uf? shell hairpins and be I ‘-artful that your hatpins do not scratch the :. nip and tear the hair. ?ictu.*cJ Wall Papers.
