ill Move the Town. The town of Wenatchee, Wash., is to be moved two miles from its present location to a point on the bank of a river. It is a pretty fair-6ized town, too. All the buildings will be moved in the usual way to the new location. There is not an adequate supply of water where the town now stands, and in addition the citizens are incensed at the avarice of the owners of tho present townsite, who have fixed the price of property at a very high figure.

Hood's Pills are the best after-dinner pills. \Ta?hiiiar the Blood. Washing the blood is the latent remedy for diseases brought on by or causing a sluggish circulation and low state of the blood. The washing process is performed by plain salt and water. From a pint to two quarts of water are iniected into the system by means of an ordinary hypodermic eyriDge. I A vein is opened in the arm of the patient with the usual anticeptic precaution?, and the salt water injected in large doses. A profuse perspiration and general activity of the secretory orgnns follow?, carrying away the noxious matter present in the blood. The new remedy is recommended by several doctors inpapers read recently before the Academy of Medicine in Paris, and has been successfully employed in numerous instances. In cases of anaemia, typhoid, hemorrhages, sudden shock, and even incases ot intoxication, this blood washing, it is 6aid, works wonders. For some yesrR surgeons have used a saline injection in cases of / nllAngfi after an oDeration. It is the ? i" ? most powerful tonio known, and has saved many lives. Its efficacy in ordinnry diseases has, however, only recently been discovered. Modern medicine has a tendency to resort to simple methods whioh recognize the ail curing powers ol water.! "Washing the stomach, as practiced by several New York physicians, is of very recent origin, and is considered invaluable in cases of indigestion. A; simple bath of warm water is often all I that is necessary to restore the stomach to its normal condition, by removing the poisonous waste products i which are net profusely thrown off by the secretory organs. By means of aj soft rubber tube put down the throat water can be poured into the stomach and siphoned out again. To wash the blood iB, of course, more difficult, as* the water has to be injected into a ein. ?

It was then found that a salt water solution enn be substituted instead of blood, to a considerable extent, at least, and the frog will live and be as sprightly as ever. This fact first gave the scientists the idea of injecting an ! artificial serum into the veins of a; human being, either anaemic or intox-' icated. The new remedy is very simple in its action, and can always, ' it is said, be employed with safety. ?' Washington Star. Insanity Curable. Dr. Warren L. Babcock, of St. Law* rence (N. Y.) State Hospital, has for Ave years been conducting highly ' scientific experiments to discover the cause of insanity, and at last has the supreme satisfaction of not only loj eating the germ of this disease, but by ' marvelous surgical operations, saving ( deranged minds. Dr. Bacbock has extracted the germs of insanity trom a | lunatic and by inoculating rabbits xnacie tnem crazy, ?nis intanny germ the doctor destroys by first draining the spinal column of its watery fluid and then injecting aseptic or salt solutions into the spinal opening, thus allaying the brain pressure and removing the cause of thi3 heretofore impregnable malady.

Fl 1 THE BACIXU OSTBICH. . i nitched to a Sulky and Able to Cover ' the Ground Like the Wind. I This ostrich does not hide his head in the sand, as his forebears used to . do on the plains of Timbuctoo. t He is a dead game sporting ostrich , from the Rockiee. He carries a bit in his mouth and does his running be! tween the thills of a racing sulky, i When he puts his head anywhere, it I is m a manger or under the wire in front of a judge's stand. ! He is the pioneer of ostrich racing, ' ' which, his trainer thinks, is the popu* j lar sport of the future. 1 The birthplace of this first*rate sporting idea is Denver, and the man with whom it originated contends | , I ! r-1 THE OSTRICH THAT IS A PACER. j that if there were ostriches in plenty, j cntrich racing could be made as profitable an attraction as horse racing and could be maintained at much smaller cost. He has a vision of ostrich trainers and jockeys traveling over the "cirj cuit" of the future, with "strings" of ! I swift feathered bipeds, grooms and j j exercise boys. Me nears in ms areams i the layers of odds crying "Timbuctoo J Bird 2 to 3 on; Alagazan Bird 1 to 3 and out!" He foresees long delays at the post, fleeting "fields" of big ostriches vanishing past the grand stand in clouds of dust, and the snap shot men pressing the button at the fin- j ishee, while thousands cheer and the j great birds cackle. And just to take time by the forelock, and be in the game in season to make the early winning, he has broken this one long-limbed, rangy and fullwinded ostrich to harness, and has him coursing in front of a featherweight sulky twice a day. This particular ostrich?the first of all racing ostriches?is one of the | features of the menagerie at Elitch's J Garden, on the Highlands of Denver. I Elitch's is a place patterned after the i gardens of the Old World. Yon might j fancy there that you were in Vienna 1 or Berlin. I The man who drives the racing osj trich has never yet had courage to get | the bird fully extended, so nobody, j even around Denver, where the strange | establishment is a familiar sight, | knows just how badly the ostrich could sh atter the pacing records if he i had a chance to try. Inventions Without Patents. If you look back on the history of human progress you will find that none J of the great epoch-making inventions ! has ever been patented. The man who j lit the first fire, whether Prometheus or the party from wnom ne stoie ine idea, did not get a patent for it. Neither did the man who made the firet wheel?in every sense one of the most revolutionary inventions in the history of man. The same thing may be said of the invention of soap, candles, gunpowder, umbrellas and the mariner's compass, or, to come down to our own day, of the steam engine and the electric telegraph. There is a general notion that if you did not protect inventions by means of patents, inventors would cease to invent, and material progress would j come to a standstill. But histor y does | not bear this out in the least. Men with great mechanical gifts do not exercise them solely with a view to comj mercial profit any more than astrono- j ! mers search the heavens for new worlds j I with an eye to registering patents and 1 | floating companies on the results of | their discoveries.?London Truth. Remarkable Longevity. Charles Quimby and his wife o! j Sandwich, N. H., aged ninety-two and 1 ninety-one vears, died within a few j hours of each other.

Ab you'll s?e from the picture, it's ! really a cat. It has fur like a cat, it ! purs like a cat, and it can catch mice ! and rate.

FASHION FANCIES. ? pi WHAT THE SEASON'S COMPOS- B< ITE GIRL IS WEARING. b< b! The Latest Hat 19 Trimmed With Paradise Feathers?A Feather Season Coming?New Cycling Costume. "TV "T OT all the composite girls of \ the season, writes Margary I^V Daw, of the New York Press, "6 have the broad hate, the full oeck ruching, the low twisted hair, jut each charmer affects one or another of these fancies, and the charmer is as yon see. In detail, the chapeau which I should :hink even a wild Indian would recognize to be modish, is of shrimp pink, Bno chip. Its trimmings are white moline over shrimp pink moline, knotted and twisted, to encircle the crown. Two mercury wings are caught lightly to the crown on either side at the front. And white bird,'of paradise tails flutter a-down the crown and brim at either side. Thecache-peigne is of white roses without foliage, but abounding in tender pinkish buds. The bird of paradise craze is developing rapidly. Women who care at all if they are the cause of inflicting cruel deaths in the feather kingdom will refuse to wear them, and all'other ? J 1.

But ef never in the world's history would an- P* other songster be slaughtered for dec- ai orating women's hair if tte fair sex T] should refuse to yield their lovely to heads for burial purposes. cc It is a late fashion to trim sailor P] hats with wreaths of shaded roses, pi 10 Q fotTArito X.

At present the plain brown is considered the smartest of all, but ly there are many pretty varieties in dark Sc blue witn the embroidered clot. There are also chiffon veils in the dark colore which have white or black chenille dots, and the plain white or black net m with the dots also are equally fashionable. The sheer veils without dots RRVfi the skin somewhat from the dust' L and sunburn, anil they are made thin 11 enough not to be very warm, while the fashion of pinning them loosely also helps to make it possible to wear them in the very hot weather. Eed lace veils are occasionally 6een worn on the broad shade hats?the old fashioned tambour laces 60 fashionable many years ago.

The usual way in which a whale feeds is to choose a spot where the food is plentiful, and swim backward and forward for two or three hundred yards, with the nose just under water. They invariably swim from one side of the beat back again to where they Btarted from, with their mouth3 open. They then close their jaws and swallow the food caught. They will go on in this way feeding for an hour or more; after that they will disappear under the nearest ice, and sleep there until they come out for exercise or for another meal. Unlike other warm blooded animals, they do not require to breathe through their nostrils while asleep, and they do not do so. Whales can sleep as well under water as they do upon the Burface, as I have often seen them disappear under solid ice and remain there for many hours at a time. Sometimes they fall asleep with their heads down and only their tails standing out of the water."?The Spectator. A Tree of Iron.
