Antiquity of Petroleum. Though it is only within recent times that petroleum has become an article of commerce, there is abundant prool" that it was used in the arts forty centuries ago. The mortar used in constructing the wars of Nineveh and Babylon had petroleum mixed with it for the purpose of securing greater cohesion and excluding dampness. Traces of the bituminous matter are very distinct in the ruins, and the existence of petroleum springs at Is, some 120 miles from old Babylon, indicates one source of the supply. In the ancient history of several eastern countries allusion is made in unmistakable terms to the existence of petroleum springs. Jv'ew York American.

The Twilight Of r,lfe. The muscles of the stomach in olu age are not as strong or active as in youth and in consequence old people are very subject to constipation 'nd Indigestion. Many seldom have a bowel movement without artificial aid. Many, also, havs unpleasant eructations of gas from the stomach after eating. All thls'can be avoided by the use of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, which permanently regulates the bowels so that usages come naturally, and so strengthens tlx stomach that food is digested without discofcifort. Druggists sell it at 50 cents or 1 a laxg ' bottle.

Previous to last evening, Mrs. Susan J. Smith, plaintiff in the SmithVaughan, breach of promise suit, had baffled all efforts to take snap-shot phctographt. of her successfully. She has been assisted by members of her family, friends and attorneys. Last evening, however, a photographer in the employ of the Palladium, succeeded in taking a picture of the woman as she was about to board a west bound interurban car at Main and Eighth streets. The effort of the photographer in itself brought about a situation that for a few minutes disturbed the tranquility of the busiest corner in the city. "There he is," exclaimed Miss Hazel Phelps, a daughter of Mrs. Smith, in a ilightly subdued scream. She referred to the photographer, and at the same time made a rush toward the man with the camera. Claude Keever, of Fountain City, editor of the Times of that place, and a close friend of .Miss Phelps and her mother, was a member of the party iu company with Mrs. Smith Mr. Keever's attention wa;; directed to the photographer by the action of Miss Phelps. He dropped a package, which he was carrying ?'.t the time and took up the pursuit of the fleeing camera man. Mr. Keever's agility with his feet soon made a considerable decrease in the distance between the fleeing photographer and himself. The appearance of the pursuing editor did not bode any good for his quarry. As the pursued and pursuer were running across the street car tracks on North Eighth street, a friend of (he photographer, who was interested in the welfare of the latter, intercepted the advance of Mr. Keever. That gentleman arose at a time when the man with the camera had disappeared. The friend restored Mr. Keever's hat to him and the latter hastily returned to the interurban without making a remark. There was the usual crowd at the corner and many thought the mild disturbance resulted from a display of pugilistic tendencies. The episode was without disorder of any kind, however. Two members of the police force witnessed the pursuit of Mr. Keever and its sudden termination. Before the crowd could close in on the participants they had separated. Mrs. Smith had been photographed a number of times previous to last

evening, but not successfully. "When on the street she appeared last evening with her veil doubled. She carried a

paper before her face in order to con-i

ceal her features. She remained at the court room until the crowd in at tendance at the trial had dispersed. On Main street, the members of her party fuarded Mrs. Smith carefully.

A BLAZE OF CONVICTION. Sweeping Over the Whole Country. The more people know of the great discovery that has made so many remarkable cures here in Richmond during the past few months, the more convinced are they of the great merit of Root Juice'. Thousands of people have been cured by it all over the country. Many that use it a short while are so loud in their praise that their neighbors crowd into the drug store to "get some of the health-promoting Juice. Usually one bottle will convince, and it is but seldom that five or six bottles does not make a complete cure of indigestion, constipation, nervous weakness, rheumatism and other troubles arising from a diseased condition of the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels. It seems to cure by removing the cause. It heals and tones the organs that make and filter blood. People are going in crowds many miles to see the man that dis covered the wonderful curative agent and get some of it. A. C. Luken & Co's drug store has the agency at this point. Root Juice is sold for $1 a bottle or three for $2.50.

Not a Financial Success. Mrs. Munro was reading items of interest from the weekly paper and making frequent exclamations of surprise or pleasure or dismay. "Why, Edward, listen to this!" she cried. "Here's a man who makes a business of taking new tables and chairs and treating them in some way bo they look as if they were a hundred years old! "And he makes a great deal of money by it," she added, reading on. "Does he indeed?" said Mr. Munro. "Well, I'd trust our Tommy to make a new table look as if it were a good deal more than a hundred years old, but I hadn't thought of it as a paying business." -Youth's Companion.

Old Neptuna and the Ancient Order of the Deep. The ceremony of -'crossing the line" is a very much more elaborate affair nowadays than it ever has been despite the fact that Neptune day is so old a celebration that its origin is lost t history. When old Neptune, impersonated by a sailor, makes his appearance on an American battleship nowadays when the vessef reaches latitude 0 degree, 0 minute, 0 second, to initiate the jnckies who have never crossed the line before into the mysteries and membership of the Ancient Order of the Deep he is accompanied by his wife, Amphitrite, another sailor. They are both dressed fantastically in clothes which have been designed and worked upon ever since the vessel sailed. How they get on board is unknown, at least to the captain, who meets them and gives them permission to go ahead. An immense tank made of canvas is rigged up, and here the initiation of all the candidates takes place. Devices for getting the candidate into the tank vary on different ships and on different occasions. Often be is simply picked up and thrown in. Frequently he is made to sit down in a "barber's" Chair close to the edge of the tank, and when as much soap as possible has been put into his mouth and eyes he is tipped over backward. Generally the soap has been mixed with tar, coal oil and many other ingredients and is impartially applied from the waist up, so that the bath is needed. In the tank the candidate is attended, sometimes by "bears" with shaggy coats made of unraveled rope and sometimes by "cops" who act as the king's assistants and see that the candidate is held under water long enough to know it. It is a great frolic, prepared for days in advance, and when it is over the certificate is issued and the candidates are free to get themselves as clean as they can before the next roll call.

IF SNOW NEVER FELL

Willing to Tell. Sometimes it is a pleasure to answer questions, even if the questioner may put them in an unpleasant way. "What do you do rr a living?" asked a lawyer, frowning horribly at a hatched faced young man who was undergoing cross examination. "I, sir," auswered the witness, hastily diving into his side pocket, "am the agent for Dr. Korker's celebrated corn and bunion destroyer, greatest remedy of the age, used by all the crowned heads of Europe, never known to fail to remove the most obdurate corns in less than twenty-four hours or money cheerfully refund" Henr the court Interfered.

Too Well Done. "Yes. dear," continued the newly made husband as he gazed despondingly at the steak that was broiled almost to a crisp, "you are rery charming, and you do several things uncommonly well, but you don't know bow to cook a steak." "And yet, my love." answered the culprit with a becoming penitent air. "you said yourself that it was very well done." It is scarcely necessary to add that the cyclone was averted.

Unfit. "Would you advise me to go into politics?" "Young man," answered Senator Sorghum, "the mere fact that you are so modest as to ask advice about it proves that you are unfit for the profession." Washington Star.

On the Ten Party Line. Suddenly the alarm clock went off. The sleeper, half awake, listeued. "It's only one ring," he said. "Ours is four rings." Whereupon he went to sleep again and missed his train. Chicago Tribune.

The Effect Upon the World's Crops Would Be Disastrous. If all the condensed moisture of the atmosphere were to fall as rain and none of it was snow hundreds of thousands of square miles of the earth's surface now yielding bountiful crops would be little better than a desert. The tremeudous economic gain for the world at large which results from the difference between snow and rain is seldom realized by the inhabitants of fertile and well watered lowlands. It is in the extensive regions where irrigation Is a prime necessity in agriculture that the special uses of snow come chiefly Into view. All through the winter the snow Is falling upon the mountains and packing itself firmly in the ravines. Thus in nature's great icehouse a supply of moisture is a tort, d up for the following summer. All through the warm months the hardened snow banks are melting

gradually. In trickling streams they steadily feed the rivers which as they flow through the valleys are utilized for Irrigation. If this moisture fell as rain it would almost immediately wash down through the rivers, which would hardly be fed at all in the summer when the crops most needed water. These facts ate so well known as to be cominonplaoe In the Salt Lake valley and in the subarid regions of the west generally. They are uot so welT understood in New Jersey or Ohio, where snow is sometimes a pietcresque, sometimes a disagreeable, feature of winter. In all parts of the country the notion prevails that the snow is of great value as a fertilizer. Scientists, however, are inclined to attach less importance to its service iu soil nutrition for some regions that have no snow are exceedingly fertile than to its worth as a blanket during the months of high winds. It prevents the blowing off of the finely pulverized richness of the top soil. Thi3, although little perceived, would often be a great loss. Chicago Tribune.

The nab Of The Body. The organ around which all the other orgrans revolve, and upon which they are largely dependent for their welfare, is the stomach. When the functions of the stomach become impaired, the bowels and liver also become deranged. To cure a diser.se of the stomach, liver or bowels sret a 50 cent or SI bottle of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin at your druggist's. It is the promptest relief for constipation and dyr pepsia ever ccrapounded.

of old manuscripts can coax the dimes and quarters from theatrical patrons' pockets with inferior productions, is past." said one of the oldest theatrical managers of the Middle West, to the manager of the American Stock company recently. "Your company has made the local managers sit up and take notice and has educated the people to expect, a good deal even at popular prices. You plsty royalty bills which are really meritorious and you set a standard which is a little diffitult for the cheap priced melodrama to follow. In fact, since companies Mkc yours have been playing the territory, there is no money in the dollar melodrama, as the patrons of the theatre have learned that your productions are in every way superior to those furnished by the cheap one-night-i is."
