Ton Know that you can secure almost immediate relief from Indigestion, and that uncomfortable fullness after meals, hv simply taking a dose of Simmons Liver Regulator ? Some people think that because it is called Liver Regulator it has nothing to do with Indigestion and tlie like. It is the inaction of the Liver that causes Indigestion, and that fullness; also Constipation, and those Bilious Headache's. Millions have been made to understand this and have been cured from these troubles by Simmons Liver Regulator—a medicine unfailing and purely vegetable. Jft.im llfv.

ATTRACTION OF THE ABYSS. Why Propl. I.on, to Throw Thrni.olToo from HlKh I'larr.. Chcvrcul’s well-known experiments with the exploratory pendulum and the divining rod show that if we represent to ourselves a motion in any direction the hand will unconsciously realize it and communicate it to the pendulum, says a writer in the Popular Science Monthly, 'fhe tipping table realizes a movement we are anticipating’. tnroug’h the intervention of a real movement of the hands, of which we are not conscious. Mind reading, by those who divine by taking’ your hand where you have hidden anything. is a reading of imperceptible motions by which your thought is translated without your being conscious of them. In cadi’s of fascination and vertigo, which are more visible among children than among adults, a movement is begun the suspension of which is prevented by a paralysis of the will, and it carries us to suffering and .death. When a child 1 was navigating . a plank on the river wit bout a thought that I might fall. All at once the idea came like a diverging force, projecting itself across the rectilinear thought which had alone previously directed my action. It was as if an invisible arm seized me and drew me down. I cried out and continued staggering over the whirling waters till help came to me. The mere thought of vertigo provoked it. The board lying on the ground suggests no thought of a fall when you walk over it; but when it is over a precipie id the eye takes the measure of t distance to the bottom, the represen ati- t of a falling motion becomes i’ en.- . and the impulse to fall corresp . lin .ly so. Even if you afe safe, there may still be what is called the attraction of the abyss. The vision of the gulf as a fixed idea, having produced an “inhibition” on all your ideas or forces, nothing is left but the figure of the great hole,,with the intoxication of the rapid movement that begins in your brain and tends to turn the scales of the mental balance. Temptation, which is continual in children because everything is new to them, is nothing ohe than the force of an idea and the motive impulse that accompanies it. LITTLE CHANCE OF PERJURY. Why Clpcunuitantlnl Evidence I* Regarded by Many Lawyer* a* strong. Writers in the law periodicals are advocating all sorts of strange doctrines at present. One correspondent thinks that circumstantial evidence /hould have scarcely any weight. His argument is that when direct evidence is given there is only the perjury of the witness tube guarded against, while in circumstantial evidence there aiv both the possibility of perjury ami the liability to a wrong inference from the circumstances. The strength of circumstantial evidence, according to most writers, however, is that there is little probability of perjury, as the circumstances frequently are slight in themselves and not likely to be distorted by the witnesses who do not know of their full effect. The New York Tribune regards it as probable that many more unjust conviclions have taken place from perjured direct evidence than from mistaken inferences from circumstances. Ardemus Stewart, in the American Law Register, belittles the value of expert evidence to an even greater extent than most previous writers. English lawyers, writing to the London papers, have advocated to some extent a strange plan for dwing away with all oaths in legal proceedings, on the ground that perjury is so common that simple declarations to which the same penalties for incorrect statements might attach would be just as valuable as testimony given under the present form. Another new theory which has found its advocate is that in criminal trials, except for treason, the defense. as well as the prosecution, shall be conducted by public officials. This suggestion is rather more startling than any of the others, and is even more unlikely than they of adoption. It may be that in the superabundance of law periodicals, writers find it easier to invent a theory than to make some valuable contributions to legal literature. STILL LOOKING BOR A COOK.

THE WIDEST RIVER.

HE GOT BOTH OF THEM.

The Terrible Mistake of a Newspaper Man in an tiitelltsence Oftk-e. "Our cook left us u few days ago,” said a depressed-looking newspaper man the other day to a writer for the New York Times. "She said she couldn’t live in a house the head of which lived so irregularly and kept such terribly bad hours, even if his wife was ill. And there has been nothing but trouble for me since. I had to get ray own breakfast this morning. That was bad enough. Itut this afternoon, as a ilirect result of the cook’s unhappy departure, I was placed in a most embarrassing position,” and recollection caused the newspaper man to look vgry mournful indeed. "I started for an intelligence ofiice with the firm intention of getting a cook or leaving for a tropical Country where one can live on raw fruit. Several alleged cooks passed in review before me, but none of them suited me. While 1 was questioning one a good-looking, modestly-dressed woman euteieu the place. Something about her appearance struck me favorably. I said to myself: There’s the cook I want.’ and I started for her. I recall now that the manager made an attempt to attract my attention, evidently realizing my intention. Hut 1 took no notice of her. My state of mind was such, owing to the departure of our cook, that it never occurred to me that anyone else should want to procure servants. I touched the new arrival on the arm and said: ’You're the very woman I want for a cook. What are your terms?’ “Lord! She tnrned slowly around, put up a pair of those long-handled glasses—I forget what you call ’em— and calmly looked me over. ‘I want a tali footman,’ she said. ’You are tall. What are your terms?’ "We are still without a cook.”

The Rio de la Plata. W>iti«a Banka Ar« 125 Milo* Apart. Were it not for a decided difference in the color of the water you would never know when the Atlantic is left and the Rio de la Plata entered, says a writer to the Philadelphia Record. The high-rolling, white-capped billows are the same, and no laud is visible, for the great river which .lames Diaz de Solis discovered is or-- h".--’". ,1 sl.1 twenty-five miles wide at its mouth, though with an average depth of only fifty feet. Sebastian Cabot, who arrived in the year 1520, soon after the natives had murdered poor Don Solis, dubbed it River of Silver, not on account of its color, which might have won for it the more appropriate name of Golden river or River of Chocolate, but because he hud wrested quantities of silver from the Indians who swarmed its banks, and naturally imagined tjiat an abundance of precious metal remained in the vicinity. In point of fact the terms Argentina and Riode la Plata (both meaning the same thing with reference to silver) an - misnomers, for no metals of any sort, precious or otherwise, are found along the hanks of the mighty stream or anywhere near it,and the scanty argentiferous deposits in the hills of the Interior have never been worked. The Indians aforesaid probably obtained the silver which so excited Spanish cupidity from Peru and Rolivia. by some primitive system of internal commerce known only to themselves. To this day metals do not figure in the exports of the adjacent countries—Uruguay, Paraguay and Argentina, but such prosaic articles as hides and -tallow, horns, woods, preserved and refrigerated meat, etc.—for their wealth lies solely in grazing facilities and fertile soil. FISH ALIVE IN BOILING WATER. A Nevada Specie* Which Died on Heins Put Into » Cold Fluid. One of the most remarkable discoveries in the shape of a peculiar species of fish ever made on this continent was that made at Carson City. Nev., in 187(5. At that time both the Hale & Norcross and the Savage mines were down to what is known as the “2,200-foot level.” When at that depth a subterranean lake of boiling water was tapped. The accident flooded both mines to the depth of 400 feet. After the water had all been pumped out except that which had gathered in basins and in the Inaccessible portions of the works, and when the water still had a temperature of 128 degrees—nearly scalding hot—many queer-looking little blood-red fish were taken out. In appearance they resembled goldfish. They seemed lively and sportive enough when they were in their native element — boiling water — notwithstanding the fact that they did not even have rudimentary eyes. When the fish were taken out of the hot water aud put into buckets of cold water for the purpose of being transported to the surface, they died as quickly as a perch or bass would If plunged into a kettle of water that was scalding hot; not only this, but the skin peeled off exactly as if they had been boiled. Eyeless fish are common enough in all subterranean lakes and rivers, but this is the only case on record of living fish being found in boiling water. WITHOUT HIS BALANCE WHEEL. Misrri*-* ofthr Would He liajr Iloj; Wlioite Wife’* In the Country. When a man packs his family off to the country he revels in his secret, wicked soul over *the thought that he is going to have a high old time, when he will make sure that there are still cakes and ale and that ginger are Mil hot i’ the mouth. This delightful delusion lusts about three days, according to the San Francisco Argonaut, or at most a week. He cats one or two crack dinners, prepared by an accomplished chef; the result is a parched throat, a headache and other premonitory symptoms of indigestion. He mingles in the gay and festive throng of which he wa-. an ornament in his callow days: he is astonished to find how empty-headed the young men are and how stupid and vulgar the women. Is it possible thnt he ever enjoyed that sort of society? It gradually breaks upon him that ho has outgrown the joys of the coulisses and that In* can no more relish the rather lil>«ral jokes of Aspasia than he can cat candies. He drifts into his club, where he finds a lot of old fogies who say dull things in a dull way upon dull topics. Ite (lies headlong from a fiend who wants to discuss the tariff with him and takes refuge in Ins empty home, where he finds that the single servant who had been left in charge has drunk up all the sherry and forgotten to make his bed. I’reserviiiK Picture*. A new method of preserving pictures is being experimented with in London. It consists of placing the surface of the picture, be it canvas or paper, in a vacuum, thus protecting it from atmospheric action. The picture is inclosed in a metal frame or case covering the back and sides and projecting from the sides like an ordinary frame. A plate of glass is inserted in the edges of the case, just as in an ordinary frame, and hermetically sealed to the metal. The air is then withdrawn from between the surface of the picture and the glass, and the painting is in a vacuum. It is believed this plan will effectually protect pictures from the action of dampness, air, gases and other causes that operate to destroy | paintings exposed or framed in the op dinary way. Why Par W lircla W'rar Out. A car wheel wfiars out because the metal of which it is composed comes away iu thin scales. A microscopic-ex-amination shows that the continual jarring has a tendency to destroy the coherence of the particles, and thus gradually disintegrates the whole. Car wheels long in use become so brittle that a stout blow witli a heavy hammer will sometimes cause them to fly into fragments as though they were made of glass.

Aa Expre** Company’* I>e»orttv*i Who Laid Out Two Mae- Kotibom. ‘‘One day in October. 1877, 1 was staging it in northern C alifornia," said Thomas M. Spencer to a St. Louis Globe-Democrat man. “There were six of us in the coach. We were talking about stage robbers. Suddenly there was a halt and one of the party said: Speak of the devil and he will appear. Vt ell, we uii got up aud stood in a line and gave up our purses and watches. The driver hail thrown off the mail bag and the Wells-Fargo safe. There were two robbers, neither of them masked. They were not polite like the knights of the road of romance, but swore continuously. The job was done in about five minutes, and the robbers told the driver to go ahead. Wedid soforahalf mileorso, when one of the passengers, a silent man whom I had taken for a commercial man, said to the driver: ‘Go slowly aud wait for me at the ford.’ He tken produced a Winchester from the bottom of the coach and started back over the road alone. Who is he?' we asked the driver. ’Wells-Fargo man. 1 guess; never saw him before, but I guess he knows his business. If he comes back, he will have got them; if he don’t, they’ll have got him.’ “Twenty minutes later we heard some rapid firing. We stopped at the ford. Nearly an hour passed, and then the man who had gone back appeared on the trail. He walked %lowly, as if in pain, and a bloody handkerchief was tied about his head. ‘Drive back and get the box,' he said to the driver. ‘Did you got ’em?' asked the driver. ‘Roth of ’em,' he replied. We drove back. In the middle of the road where we had been hold up both men lay dead. The Wells-Fargo detective, calculating that they would stop to rifle the mail bag and the strong box, divide the plunder and then separate, had quietly walked back. One of them he dropped with his Winchester before he was suspected: the other got in one shot before he fell, and that had struck the brave man a glancing blow on the head. Our property was all restored to us. We helped bury the dead robbers by the roadside. The brave officer refused to accept the purse we hastily raised for him.”

HERRING ARISTOCRACY.

The First Fish of the Season Sold at Very IliCh I’rirrH in Holland. Needless to say that, being so surrounded by water, the Dutch are great lovers of fish. Indeed, social rank is indicated by the consumption of fish, and strange to say that for this purpose the humblest of all fish, the common herring, has been selected. At a good restaurant at Amsterdam I asked for a thoroughly Dutch dish, and to my great surprise a small raw herring was served to me. and for this strange dish 1 was made to pay a very large price. In answer to my inquiries I was informed in a particular tone indicative of something surprising and wonderful that it was a new herring. I was further told that new herring cost a few weeks ago as much as one dollar each. 1 protested that in London new herring were often sold at one cent each or three herring for two cents. In answer to this I was smilingIj’ informed that in Holland herring were not during the season any dearer; only, though just as fresh, they were not called a new herring. The point is to eat a new herring, and a new herring means a herring out of season, or the first herring that heralds the coming season. It is these rare and early herring that ore sold at one dollar each. Then the price falls to half a dollar, then to twenty cents, to ten cents, to five cents, and finally to one cent or less. When the new herring are first announced Dutchmen inquire of one another: “Have you already eaten a new herring?” If you are able to answer “Yes” early in the season then you are considered a man of means and importance. Hut if you continue for long confessing that you have not eaten any new herring then your kind and charitable friends conclude you must be involved in serious financial difficulties Thr Earth’s Motion. That the earth’s motion has an appreciable effect upon artillery fire, deflecting the projectile from a straight course, may he news to many, and as such would proMahy seem a novel notion. It has. and the exact nature and extent of the effect is an important point of study with artillery experts. An English army expert told of the results of many interesting experiments along this line in a paper read before the Royal Artillery institntion the other day. Firing from north to south there is a divergence of projectiles to the left due to the earth’s rotation, and firing due north the divergence is to the right. The extent of the “pull” varies at different points on the earth’s surface, and with projectiles fired at different speeds and elevations. In England a deflection of five inches is found to occur with the projectile of a twelve-pounder in a four thousandyard range.

Fartii* In a Volcano. Thirty miles from the city of Kumamoto. Japan, is the volcano Aso San, which has the largest crater in the world. It is more than thirty miles in circumference, and peopled by twenty thousand Inhabitants. Think of walking for miles among fertile farms and prosperous villages, peering into sclioolhouse windows and sacred shrines well within the shell of an oldtime crater, whose walls rise eight hundred feet all about you. It gives one a queer feeling Hot springs abound everywhere. In one place brick-red hot water is utilized to turn a ricemill. The inner crater is nearly half a mile in diameter, and a steady column of roaring steam pours out of it. The last serious eruption was in 1884, when immense quantitiesof black ashes and dust were ejected and carried by the wind as far as Kumamwto, where for three days it was so dark Lhat artificial light had to be.used.
