In fact I was sick all over. a Finally, after many other remedies had been tried, we were adviged to get Lydia E.

The Blue Gnu. ^ exceedingly interesting ^ animal now on exhibition O L1 O at the Zoological Park, ^ K New York City, is the new blue gnu. It would be hard to imagine a more fantastic looking animal. It suggests to one coming unexpectedly upon it, and seeing it for the first time, a sort of impossible dream creature, a cross perhaps between a buffalo and a nightmare. To the buffalo belong the neck and the horns, but the tail and the hindquarters are those of a horse. The legs are a deer's legs, but the head resembles that of no other living animal. The specimen at the park came from South Africa, where the species ranges from Orange River north to Victoria Nyanza. There seems to be no doubt that the wild grotesqueness of the appearance of the gnu is a provision of na ture to protect the animai. When frightened or disturbed, these remarkable antelopes go through a series of strange evolutions and extraordinary postures, in order to enhance as much as possible the oddity and hideousness of their appearance, and to frighten a\ray intruders.?Scientific American. THE BLl : ? HYGIENIC TELEPHONE. A Guaranteed Solution of the Receiver | Microbe Problem. An ingenious young fellow out in California has contrived what he believes vrill be adopted as the solution to the problem of microbe dissemination by means of the telephone receiver. In these days of grace, when the n/utmc ic hoinc "CCflcpd WIIJ^ Uli Uldt^ilOC AQ Wmp ?? ?p ? ? wjpi ever increasing fury along all lines, it has remained for our California friend to step to the front with an apparatus which be confidently declares will aid a suffering public to avoid all danger of contagious diseases that may or may not be transmitable through the use of the telephone. The picture shows the principle of the affair very clearly. A roll of specially prepared material is attached to a reel directly below the mouth of the telephone receiver. The material is drawn over the receiver and fastened to a second reel above. A person using the 'phone talks 1 THE MICROBE ELIMINATOR. through the material into the receiver, and when he has finished his conversation any germs which may have escaped from his system are captives j ' .

A vote was reached and the resalt ' r was General Wood's confirmation. That this was to be the fina: outcome toot the fight was made certain by tte lavorablo report of the commitlcs, ^ reached after careful ccnsideratiom of I RS. in the meshes of the material. It is a very simple proceeding then to give a little thumbscrew on the upper reel a couple of turns, whereupon material and captive germs are 1 oiled up carefully, and the next talker has a new i piece .of microbe-catching material to | talk through. It is simple enough when you under* staud it. COFFEE=TEA POT. A Combination Utensil That Should Find Considerable Favor. There used to be a magician who would pour hot or cpld water out of one and the same vessel at the desire of his bewildered audience. How he did it we are not informed, but it must THE COFFEE-TEA POT. have been in some such manner as is accomplished by means of the new toffee-tea pot which Uncle Sam has just granted a patent on. Guests may now be served by their JE GxNU. hostess with either coffee or tea out of the same vessel, and the thing is really so simple that a description is hardly necessary after one has glanced at the accompanying illustration. , A vertical partition extends 'from the bottom to the top of the pot, separating it into two compartments, one of which is designed to be occupied by each of the beverages. Each compartment is provided with a spout, these being directly opposite sides. Circling each spout is a coil of strong wire forming handles for lifting the pot and pouring the contents. Tinted Spectacles For Beauty. "Tinted spectacles," said an optician who displays a sign advertising that he makes a specialty of them, "are mainly for women who demand that their beauty, as well as their sight, shall be considered. A light gray or a pale blue looks very weak and unattractive through ordinary eyeglasses. By slightly tinting the lens we can add very much to the color of the pupil of the eye and to the general attractiveness of the faee. The tinting does not at all interfere i with the magnifying properties of the glass. In fact, some oculists send us prescriptions for tinted glasses, maintaining that for blue or gray eyes they are far superior to the ordinary crystal glasses. Blue eyes absorb more light than brown eyes, so that any j tempering of the sun's rays is sure to ; be beneficial."?New York Times. * Newspaper Titles. The multiplicity of newspapers has not given rise to many new titles. The old names are used over and over ; again. There are seven newspaper i titles each of which has over 100 ad- > herents in the United Kingdom. Advertiser is the favorite; there are 1G0 newspapers of that description. Times comes next, with 150; News, with 149; Gazette, with 128; Chronicle, with 120; Herald, with 119, and Journal, with 104. The Expresses, Guardians and Observers muster over fifty each. There are forty-eight Standards and only thirty-eight Telegraphs.?Ex.- . change. i j the testimony of the witnesses summoned by those who hare opposed General Wood's confirmation The * witjle influence of the administration was back of him, and while' indivfiual republican senators have said they would not have voted for confirmation had they not previously pledged themselves to do so, there has never been % any real doubt of the result The rote was 45 to 16. 'J The late Senator Hanna was recognized as tae leader of the forces opposed to General Wood, and had>it not been for his death before the ^ disposition of the case, it la, conceded that the vote would have been much closer. It has not been believed at any time since the contest "opened, however, that the fight against coat- - < firmation would have been successful. , * Only two republicans remained in the minority. They were Senator Scott, of West "Virginia, a member of the military affairs committee, who opposed the nomination while it was pending in the committee, and Seea- '. * tor Kittridge, of South Dakota. Five democratic senators voted with the majority in favor of confirmation. They were Senator Cockrell and Senator Pettus, who, as members of the military affairs committee, heard .all the testimony against General- Wood, and Senator Patterson, Senator Clarke, of Arkansas, and Senator Dubois. The negative vote on the confirmation was i as follows: . Bacon, Berry, Blackburn, Clark, of Montana; Culberson, Gibson, Latimer, MoCreary, McLaurin, Mallory, Martin, Money, Newlands, Simmons, all dem- , v ocrts, and Kittridge and Scott, repnb- . ,( Means.
