The London Tiuitt announce* that
photography in colors ia now an accoin
plixhcd fact; that after three years of
study, experiment and chemical research,
a Mr. Moyal, of New Bond street, has pro
duced several colored photographic por
traits without the aid of hand-work or
brush, which possess the brilliancy and
delicacy of highly finished miniatures in
oil.
Speaking of the changes in the climate
of Nevada, the Virginia City Kiiteryrw
says; “About 8,000 head of sheep arc
now finding abundant pasturage in the
vicinity of this city, where twenty years
ago a whippoorwill could not fly over
the countiy without carrying a sack of
provision. Gradually the summer sea
son has changed. Wo now have season
able showers and grass where but two
decades ago nil was drought and bar
reness. ”
From IMm 1 t<> 1885, inclusive, 118 per
sona were sentenced to death in France.
Os thin number only seven were women,
and »event<en were between the ages of
sixteen and twenty. That crime is not
altogether rampant in ami confined to the
urban population is shown by the fact
that of these 148 capital criminals seventy
weie agricultural laborers. Among the
remaining number were forty-eight work
men, fifteen commercial employes, eight
servants, one notary ami oue private gen

Alaska is full of wonders, the half of
which have not been brought to light.
A great Ink • has been found at the source
of the Korv.ik Itivcr, which is s > deep
that no fathom line has been found long
enough to reach the bottom. The na
tives are strong and hardy, about the
size of white men, with small Ida k eyes,
high foreheads, small and lint noses, fine
teeth ami coarse, black hair. They aro
<>f a bright brunette color. Their dress
is made from the skin of the reindeer
and other animals. They live in huts
partially underground.
A man near London recently niiifl" a
bet that he could kill, clean, cook and
eat n spring chicken in fifteen minutes.
Preparatory to the contest he secured the
chicken and provide I himself w th a pot
of boiling water, a bucket of cold water,
a hot skillet and a hot flat iron. When
time was called lie jerked the chicken's
head off. doused it in a pot of ladling
water, slipped the feathers off, cleaned
it and then laid the fry flat in the pan,
with the flat iron on top to cook the
upper side. At the ck"u of eleven and
n half minutes he had the chicken bones
beautifully jKilished.
It seems to be a pretty general impres.
•ion that, in the next war in Europe,
dynamite, melanite and other destructive
chemical compounds will play an import
ant part in battles and mining and de
fensive operations. But the frequent
accidents attending the handling of these
explosives suggest that they may be more
destructive to those who use them than
to an enemy. A few da s ago a dyna
mite catt ridge exploded among a |»arty
of s:ip|mrs and miners at a town in
Hungary and killed twenty -even men
and wounded fdrty-eight others. The
danger of such accident' as this w ill make
tmldiers timid in ban Hing the new

| HOW TO BECOME PU MP.
ADVICE TO PEOPLE WHO WANT TO
INCREASE THEIR WEIGHT.
Proper Food and Drink -Breathing
Freali Air and Taking Warm
Baths Moderate Exercise.
Henry T. Finck gives in the New York
' Eynrh the following rules whereby lean
i |M!opl<- may I <•<’ >ine plump:
fl.) Eating and drinking. “Every
woman who is thin would like to be
, stouter,” ’ >ays Brillat Savarin in his
fragmentary chapter “On Leanness, ’
| from which, however, the follow ing sen
tence is worth citing: “Men fatten sheep,
■ calves, oxen, poultry, carp, crayfish,
oysters; and hence I derive the general
maxim Whatever cats can be fattened,
provided the food is well and suitably
. chosen.”
The famous Mr. Banting, who reduced
his weight by more than fifty pounds in
one year, found that sugar was the most
fattening thing he could eat. Hence, to
increa-e your weight eat r akes, puddings,
syrup, honey, randy and pastry, always
taking care that it be crisp and digesti
ble, tor inrlige-tible food is a chief cause
of leanness. New England piecrust is
probably responsible for the appearance
of the typical gaunt Yankee. Other fat
tening articles of food are tender lamb,
salmon and eels, milk and cream, corn,
; bread anil butter, and those vegetables
which grow underground and of which
| sugar is made beets, turnips, etc.
■ Boiled or baked potatoes, masherion the
plate and seasoned w ith salt and fresh
butter, make a delicious dish, rapidly
fattening. Eat often and very slowly,
for it is not the qu intity that is eaten but
the amount that is thoroughly digested
that nouishr-s the system and rounds the
I bodily contour.
Bismarck's private physician, Dr.
Schwenninger, owes his international
reputation to his success in diminishing
the Chancellor's weight. The secret of
his method is never to allow his patient
| to drink with his meals, or if he does
drink to do so very sparingly. Hence
follows the converse rule, that if you
covet stoutness you should drink freely
with your meals, always, however, in
such away as not to interfere with the
digestive processes. That is, you should
never drink while you have food in the
! mouth, for the food ought to be
moistened by the saliva alone. Ice
water, too, should be alwaysavoided. It
chills the stomach and is the cause of
three-fourths of the indigestion and con
sequent leanness prevalent in this
country.
Mountain tourists know that ice water
never quenches the thirst. Yet we con
stantly spoil our water by putting in ice.
The ice should never be allowed to come
in contact with the water we drink, but
only with the outside of the pitcher. In
this way we avoid also the dangers from
microbes hidden in impure ice.
(2.) Breathing and Bathing. Air is
food, as much ns beef, the only differ
ence being that beef is a similated in the
stomach, air in tin- lungs. Hence if you
wish to be plump, become an air-glutton.
Breathe nil the fresh air you can get, and
avoid foul, stuffy air, especially at night,
■ns you would putrid meat. Always
breathe through the nose, and cultivate
the habit of slowly tilling your lungs
with twice ns much nir ns you commonly
inhale, exhaling it again as slowly. This
purifies the. blood end stimulates the ap
petite. Frequent warm baths before re
tiring, or cold sponge baths in the
morning, followed by brisk friction with
a course towel, have the same effect.
(fl.) Best. Exercise is commonly pre
scribed as n method of reducing one's
weight, and brisk and long-continued
exercise does have this effect. But
moderate exercise is an antidote against
leanness, b enu e it stimulates the ap
petite, and thus more than atones for
the loss following muscul ir movement.
Besides, if exercise is altogether avoided,
there is danger of losing grace and sym
metry.
Brnin-rest is e-pe ially indicated in
the case of those who obji ct to leanness.
Mode ute brain-exorcise is. indeed, essen
tial to perfect health, but excess should
be carefully avoided. Emotional excite
ment and worry are fatal to the chances
of becoming plump and pretty. If an
annoying thought haunts you, forcibly
tix your attention on something else.
Above nil, never allow thoughts to tor
ment you lifter retiring, and thus to pass
disagree ibly into your dreams. Eight
hour' of dreamless sic p, in a well-ven
tilated room, form the most potent cos
metic known to man or woman- the
straightest road to plumpness and beauty.
A Queer Fact Concerning the Eyes.
‘‘There's lots of advice to be given in
g.ard to the care of the eyes," remarked
■m oculist the other day, ‘‘and so much
has b -en said mi l w ritten on the subject
that it scarcely semis worth while to say
anything more. There's one thing, how
ex er. th it I've never heard mentioned,
and that is in regard to traveling. When
a man ison a train he almost invariably
| looks at the land'cape through the win
' dow nearest him. This is a great mis
take both for physiological and ivsthetic
nasons. In traveling art he rate of forty
mill s an hour objects present themselves
to the sight in rapid succession, and in
order to look at them the pupil of the
eye ha' to undergo very rapid changes.
I r instance, when you see a house a
mi e away th ' pupil is dilated; when the
b n-e is too yard'from you the pupil is
contracted. Now, in traveling, you turn
veur attention first to an object a mile
d ' ant, and next, perhaps, to one twenty
feet from the car. The change is made
almost instantly , and the pupil does not
have time to dilate or expand, as the ease
may be Now. it you look through a
window on the side of the ear opposite
from where you are sitting you will find
that this doe< not occur. The different
objects in the landscape blend and spread
I out into a slow ly moving imnorama in
. stead of being rapidly whirled past your
I eyes. You get a much better vie,v and
i have the comfort of knowing that it ha’
no Kid effect upon vour sight.— Chic-mo

WORDS OF WISDOM.
Cleverness is a sort of genius for in
strumentality. It is the brain of the
hand.
Judged by profession, there are no
sinners, and judged by practice there are
no saints.
Modesty and the dew love the shade.
Each shine in the open day only to be
exhaled in heaven.
Advice is like snow; the softer it falls,
the longer it dwells upon, and the deeper
it sinks into, the mind.
He whose only claim to the title “gen
tleman” is in his clothes, must necessarily
be careful as to what he wears.
Costly followers are not to be liked;
Inst While a man maketh his train
longer, he makes his wings shorter.
The w ise prove, and the foolish con
fess, by their conduct, that a life of em
ployment is the only life worth living.
Reason and kindness are the great pro
moters of that harmony and hilarity
which generate friendship anil affection.
The aspirations of the race for further
and higher development nerve the arm
Which strikes down the barriers of an
ignorant past.
Nothing but the right can ever be ex
pedient, since that can never be true ex
pediency which would sacrifice a greater
good to a less.
A Mexican Indian's Heavy Load.
The natives whom we meet in these
elevated regions seem to carry themselves
with an air of greater dignity, despite
their extreme poverty, than their richer
but more completely subjugated brethren
of the valley, writes Fannie B. Wardo
from Mexico. Living “near to nature’s
heart” may not be so conducive to rapid
civilization, but it certainly spares the
Indian that hang-dog air which is the
inevitable result of his contact with the
pale-faces. Those we meet on their way
to the market in Mexico excite our
wonder at their power of endurance.
Tin y arc laden with enormous crates of
fruit, fowls or vegetables, or fragrant
alfalfa in such bundles that nothing can
be seen but a mass of moving green with
a pair of black legs beneath it. One had
a score of yellow-headed parrots, all
screaming “Pa! pa!” at once, which he
offered for sale at twenty-five cents
apiece. •
Sixty miles under a heavy load is not
considered a long distance to walk by
the«e cheerful, though taciturn, crea
tures, and many of them make the en
tire distance between Acapulco and Cuer
navaca eighty leagues—in seven days!
Arrived at the market they dispose of
their burden for a few reales, which they
immediately proceed to invest in pulque,
and when their skins are filled with that
mild intoxicant they trudge homeward
happy as Kings, though no richer than
before.
Nickel.
Nickel is an elementary metal. It was
first obtained as n metal about 1751 in
Germany. But the ore had been long
known to miners, who called it Kupfer
nickel, or Gid Nick's copper, because
though it looked like copper ore, no cop
per could be obtained from it. When
pure, nickel is silvery white, and does
not oxidiz.eor tarnish in the air. It can
easily be hammered out into thin sheets
or drawn into wire; it is stronger than
iron, and almost as hard to melt. Its
chief use is for plating other metals, as
it gives them a beautiful, silverlike sur
face which is quite easily kept from rust
ing. It is also used in alloys. GeiTnan
silver is made by taking one part nickel,
one part zinc, and two parts copper.
Our five and three cent pieces are made
of three parts copper and one part nickel.
Nickel is found in many parts of the
world, but the principal mines are in
Russia, Sweden, Germany, Austria, Eng
land and Scotland. In this country it is
found in the St ites of Vennsvlvaniu nnd

Certain Chicken Cholera Cure.
Eight years of careful experiment and pains
taking research have resulted in the discovery
of an infallible specific for the cure and pre
vention of that nioxt fatal and dreaded enemy
of the feathered tribe—Cholera. AfU-r the
fullest ahd fairest tests possible, in which every
claim for the remedy was fully snlwtantiated,
the remedy xvas placed Upon the market, and
everywhere a single trial has been all that waa
required to prove it a complete success. The
directions for its use arc plain and simple, and
the coat of the remedy so small that the saving
of a single fowl will repay the expense. Its
effect is almost magical. If the remedy is
given as directed, the course of the disease is
stopped at once. Given occasionally as a pre
ventive, there need be no fear of Cholera,
which annually kills more fowls than all other
diseases combined. It is tree to name, a Cer
tain iCurc for Chicken Cholera. No poultry
raiser or farmer can afford to be without it. ft
will do all that is claimed for it. Read the fol
lowing testimonial:
STATE OF GEORGIA,
Department of Aoricfi.tfbf.,
Atlanta, Ga.. March 19, 1887
To the Public : The high character of the
testimonials produced by Mr. Dodge, together
with his well known reputation for truth and
veracity, afford convincing evidence of the
high value ot the Chicken Cholera Cure he is
now offering upon the market. If I w ere en
gaged in the business, I would procure a bot
tle of his medicine, little doubting the success
that wottid attend its administration.
