Gay, Greenwich, Kas, is past 83 years of arre, s*ct he says: "I am enjoying excellent health for a man of my age, due-cntircly to the rejuvenating influences of I)r. Miles' Nervine. It brings sleep and rest when nothing else will, and gives strength and vitality even to one of my old age." "I am an old soldier," writes Mr. Geo. Watson, of Newton, la., "and I have been a great sufferer from nervousness, I vertigo and spinal trouble. Have spent I considerable mnni-? ?"'i;";? 1 doctors, but with little benefit. 1 was so bad my mind showed signs of weakness. I began taking Dr. Mites' Nervine, and I know it saved my life." i Mue?* Nervine Saved me from the insane asylum," Mrs. A. M. Heifner, of Jerico Springs, Mo., writes. "I was so nervous that I could scarcely control myy self, could not sleep nor rest, would even forget the names of my own children at times. I commenced using Dr. Miles' Nervine and it helped me from the first, and now I am perfectly well." Sold by all Druggtate en Quarantae. Dr. Miles Medical Co.. Elkhart. Ind. I I Mount Etna Hailroad. The circular railway which passes around Mount Etna is interesting on count of the geological conditions encountered in its construction as well as the nature of the country which it passes through. In many points of the route the surface consits of layers of lava, and more than twenty-two miles of cutting had to be made across the lava, whtch is hard as granite. In this way the line, which is only 70 miles long, required no les?<than four years to exeente. The road leaves the* station of Borgo and mounts first if across a r??rir?n r?f ?- ? T -r, ~~ 'Dietation, among vineyards, wheat fields and orange orchards, but it enters an arid and treelss portion, and runs between hillocks of lava until it reaches a fertile strip at Belparao, a district which suffered greatly from the eruption of 1669. The road again passei through the small town of Misterbianco, which was destroyed by the small eruption, and reaches Paterno, with Jits minature volcanoes, which throw out salt mud, and its ferruginous spriugs. Farther on is Aderno, which has a watorfall and a river, two things which are quite rare in Sicily. Then the route passes through Bronte, which has boeu often I threatened with destruction by lava, and was especially in danger in 1832 and 1843. The last *ta-1 ^ tion is Giarre- Kiposto' from ^ which is it easy to reach Messina or Catania. This road will be , very much nppeciated by tourists and will also serve as an I outlet for the products of tins' populous region.

She was at church and sat directly behind a tall, well dressed stranger, with a raveling hanging iu his collar. i Reing one of those generous hearted, whole settled girls who grow up to be motherly old ladies, a friend to everybody in town, she thought how glad she would ho if ' I I jfiomo kind hearted girl would do as much if her father were to go j to church with a raveling hanging down his back, so when the audience rose for the hymn she concluded to pick it oil' Carefully raising her hand, she j gave a little twitch, but it was longer than she supposed, and a| foot or. more appeared. 8etting her teeth, she gave a pull and about a yard of that horrible thread hung down his back. This waB getting erabarasoing, but determined, flhe gave it another yank nnd discovered that Bhe was unraveling his undershirt. Her discomfiture was so paiiffulj that chloroform would not have alleviated her sufferings nor a pint of powder hidden her i blushes when the gentleman turned with an inquiring look to see what was tickling his neck.

Oil has now ceased to flow spontaneously from the wells of Beaumont, but the refiners are not thereby in auy way disturbed, There is plenty of oil left in the fields, but it will be necessary to force it from the ground. The startling flowing of oil which greeted the man who maH? fho first strike was due primarily to the enormous pressure of the gas confiued in the same subterranean f chamber with the oil. Since the 1 chamber was penetrated the gas ( began to escape and the llow of ( oil subside. Instead of natural gas ( pressure it will be necessary to 5 use artificial air presseure.

Prof. Anglo L'eilprin, president of the Philadelphia Geogrfcphiea! Society, who has made two ascents of Mont l'elee, has just made known the results of his investigations. Several important discoveries have been made which throwlight of nature of the eruption, and which expose many of the wild exaggerations that always follow a terrible catastrophe. The first ascent of the mountain Wi?s made on May 31, and the second on.Jumi 1. On the first expodi tion, when the edge of the old crater was reached, the party was! overtaken bv a thundpratnrm i Clouds of rain and steam from) the volcano so completely enveloped them that they were able to see only a few feet. Further progress was impossible, for on account of the electrical disturbances their compass refused to work, varying as much as twenty decrees to the eastward With great difficulty they groped their way down the steep ridpe, slipping at every step ; for the rain Boaked ashes afforded a precarious footing and threatened to hurl them down the yawning gulfs at each side. The terrific detonations heard were supposed to be of volcanic and not electrical orign, for when the JLiiver Fallaise was reached it was found to be filled with steam aud mud indicating a fresh volcanic disturbance. Ti^e party reached kcier, caked with mud and much liappointed. However, oa the lext mornincr Pr?f 11 ~; l - -: - I J. iv/1. i^CllpllU ieas ready for another eucouuter vith Mont I'elee. We cannot jut admire the bravery and devotion of thie man who, with his 'ollowers, twice climbed the mgry volcano and who once, by i suddeh flash during the lift n the clouds of vapor, reached the very lip of the crater, from srhich point stones could be iropped into the white house mass,200 feet below. Standing on the very brink of the crater, he ivas witness of a most aw^il, yet ascinating scene. As was to be ixpected, the principal output of .he crater wrb steam, and but for i favorable shift in the vapor douds the party could not have nade the valuable observations that they did. So far as known, iteam is always found in volcaioes, and seems to be the main ;ause of the eruption. Scientists! iivide volcanoes into two class I ?s : The quiet, characterized by ] i tlow of lava, and the explosive, jharacterized by the blowing >ut of fragments. Prof. Heilprin dates postively that no lava has lowed from the crater of Mont' L'elee. < >ne of the main character-1 sties of the explosive volcano is I vhat is called the "cinder-cone.''I I'hia is formed of material which | lrops back, around the oriiicel rom which it was thrown, formng a cone. Prof. Heilprin, how-' >ver, states that no such cone! vas found in thi" volcano. What ,1*9? taken to be a cinder-cone j proved to be but a pile of ejected i rock* with no central vent Of' course, in tlie present condition', >t Mont I'elee it is impossible, c state obpolutelv hat there i10 cinder-cono, for it wa? impos-1 u'do t*? ? do ' n onb* about 200; Feet, and it is believed that the ;rator is much do,.-par than th?s.

EXACT COPY or WRAPPCR Iff h?-, -aft/ the eruptiou statements were made that the mountain had been | reduced to one-third its original , height. This is now shown to be , utterly untrue, for from number ] of observations taken with an aneroid barometer it was found | that the height of the mountain , had remained unaltered and that no important topographical changes had taken place. The exaggerated reports may have had their origin in the fact that a denae cloud of steam normally ( covers the top of the mountain, which might lead to the supposition that the mountain was mnch reduced in height. From the investigations made, Prof. Heil- ] prin considers violent eruptions I improbable. Mont Pelee has I freed itself of interior pressure, 1 and while small disturbances may continue to occur, they will ( probably decrease in frequency J and power. However, no one can i prophesy with certainty on sub- ' jects of this sort. Volcanic action is very little understood; new , and unexpected phenomena are ] continually occuring. The explos- ; ion of llaming gases is unpreced- ' ented, so far as known, and was probably the main cause of the terrible loss of life. The electrical 1 phenomena were also new, ( though they probably did not play ' an important part in the de-11 etruction of the city. Specimens 11 collected by Prof. lieilprin nhnwjl that the lightning bolts werej1 ama!! and votv intense, penetia-l' 1111 the walla of the houses. .No 1 other volcauo was ever ho rapid 1 in action, and never before has finch a loss of life resulted direct- j ly from a volcanic eruption. ?Scientific American.

OfTt, The art of making malleable glass, which has been well unierstood by the Kgyptians, but which has been for centuries lostl have been rediscovered by Louis Kauffeld, of Richmond, lnd., so the daily press savs. Mr. Kauffeld is a lamp chimney maker, and haa for years tried to devise a chimney that would withstand excessive heat. The new process, it is stated, renders possible the making of cooking vessels out of glass. The Name Old Mtory. J. A. Kelley relates an experience similar to that which has happened in almost every neighborhood in the United States and has been told and retold by thoujands of others. He says : ''Last, iummer I had an attack of dysentery and purchased a bottle of Uhamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy, which I used according to directions and with sntirely satisfactory results. The trouble was controlled much quicker than former attacks when I used other remedies." Mr. Kelly is a well-known citisen of Henderson, N. C. For sale by J. F. Mackey & Co.
