Rheumatism
Like Neuralgia, is now ktiown
to be a nervous disease. The
kidneys become weak through
lack of nerve energy, and fail
to filter the uric acid from the
blood; this acid attacks and
burns the nerves and muscles,
and consumes the oil in the
joints, producing inflammation,
fever, swelling—pain.
To cure Rheumatism, then,
you must restore the kidney
nerves and muscles, and neu*
tralize the effect of the acid
upon the joints and tissues
with Dr. Miles' Restorative
Nervine, a nerve medicine,
which has made many cures of
this painful disease. Nervine
strengthens the kidney nerves
and increases the circulation,
and relief is assured.

One of the moat beautiful lakes
in the world lies in the heart of
the Sierras on “The Overland
Route,” 6,220feet above the sea
level, and is completely hemmed
in by mountain walls, whose
rugged peaks rise in many places
to an additional height of from
2,000 to 4,000 feet. It is tvsfenty
three miies wide and from 100 to
2,000 feet deep. The entire re

to the eye. This region is reached
only over the Union Pacific and

AS BAD AS A FIRE.
Tnrrlfr In Texas Was Compelled
to Hove Three Times In
One Nl*lit.
“Did you ever sleep In three differ
ent towns and in three different hotel*
In one night, paying three times for a
rather inoomplete night’s rest?”
The old traveling man threw out the
question in an unconcerned way after
having listened in silenae for an hour
while the other members of the Corner
club reeled off yard after yard of stories
ibout the road, its pleasures, it* dan
gers and its humors. The pause that
followed was only broken by some vio
lent but futile efforts by the stutterer
to launch a sentence.
“Well, I have done it,” the old travel
ing man continued. “And I may add
that although I have been kept on the
road for 20 years 1 have never met a man
who wae able to boast of the same ex
perience. It came about in this way:
I was down in Texas in 1881 and 1882,
and New Year’s day found me in a small
town called Longview, with my nose
turned in the direction of the neighbor
ing town of Tyler. To get to one of
these towns from the other you must
travel on two different railroads and
cover about 40 miles of ground, al
though the towns are hardly more than
16 miles apart as the crow flies. Long
view is on the International <& Great
Northern, while Tyler is on the Mineol*
branch of the Texas Paciflo. The two
railroads cross each other at a junc
tion called Troop, about 24 mllea from
Longview and 18 mi lea from Tyler.
“I was having my dinner in the hotel
at Longview about aix o’clock on the
evening of-New Year’a day, when a first
class norther cjmg swooping down
upon ua. If you have neveFinel a genu
ine Texas norther pray that you may
be spared from having the experience.
The wind will spring up without a mo
ment’s warning, and I have seen it low
er the temperature 50 degrees in 60 min
utes. Everyone had been going around
in his shirt sleeves. After the norther
began an ulster was needed. There
was no fire in the house and no com
fort. My train did not leave until 11:10
p. m. The only thing I could t^ink of
was to take a room and go to bed, and so
1 did. I awoke at 10:30, jumped into my
clothes and caught my train.
“My watch showed a few minutest
after midnight when I arrived at
Troop and heard that the west-bound
train on the Texas Pacific was any way
from two to three hours late. A band
of immigrants was waiting for the same
train and they filled the waiting-room.
Some were cooking a meal on the red
hot stove in the middle of the room.
Others were sleeping on the benches
and on the floor. There was not a va
cant seat to be had and the atmosphere
was indescribable. The air outside was
pure enough, but the thermometer reg
istered ten degrees above aero, which is
not a very comfortable temj^rature
for a man without an overcoat or
gloves. There was only one way to keep
warm—to cross the tracks to the little
hotel opposite the station and crawl
Into a warm bed for a couple of hours,
and this I did.
“I slept till 4:15 and oaught the be
lated train at 4:43. There was only one
passenger, who left the train when we
reached Tyler at 5:15, and that was L
It was pitch dark then, cold as Alaska
and so quiet that your steps sounded
like hammer beats along the streets.
No one was stirring in the hotel at that
time and it took me a quarter of an hour
to wake up an old negro who was sleep
ing on the floor in the office. The first
thing I did when I got. ins ids the house
was to dig out the keys to the bar and
to gulp down two big drinks of whisky.
And then. I asked for a Are.
“ ‘No coal, massa,’ the old nigger an
swered, grinning like a split water
melon; ‘no wood, no muffing. Massa had
better go to bed.’
“And so I did, to be sure, for the third
time that night. It was 5:46 o’clock
in the morning then and I slept like a
dead man till 9:30. Have you ever
neard tne line or it r /\nn yet my ioay
inar for that niflrht coat me only $1.50. ar
50 cents at each hotel. The fun of ft,
when It was ail over, was' worth $1.90,
I think.’*—N. Y. Sun.
Fruits Replace Flower*.
Fruits are replacing flowers as deco
rations for the table, and for this pur
pose are used not fruit bought by the
pound, but fruit on its branches. These
branches are entwined in the hanging
lamps, forming a sort of cradle whence
hang fresh currants, shining cherries,
plums with the bloom on them, golden
apricots, etc. On the table, in little flat
glass dishes shaped like leaveB, are ar
ranged cherries, currants and other
fruit in season. These cut glass dishes
are made in a very practical form, with
a aecond compartment in which are
placed powdered augar and a little
spoon. There may be four or six of
them, of fairly large size, or else little
ones may be chosen, in which case there
should be one to each guest. New and
ingenious ideas for laying the tables
are being continually introduced. Thus
beside the plates are placed small cres
cent-shaped plates for salad, and some
times delicate little silver knives and
forks, used only for this purpose—aa
In the cate of flsh knives—are added.—

SCOKPIOFS SUICIDE.
Positive Evidence That the Creature
Does Kill Itself.
Instances In Which the Act of Self

Wllnr.anl—Affected
by u«iit.
Lord Byron has referred to a tenden
cy of tlie scorpion to commit suicide
when surrounded l»y Are. Naturally
enough, this lias been regarded as a
poetic Action; and a distinguished
writer has gone so far as to say that the
“popular idea regarding scorpionlc
suicide is a delusion based on an impos
sibility.” The impossibility to which
this writer refers is this: The sting of
the scorpion is in its tail, and the ter
mination of the tail is recurved, so that
It would really be impossible for t.he
scorpion to sting itself on the under
part of its body. But it is not Impos
sible for the sting to penetrate the back
or even the head; and there is positive
evidence that in certain circumstances
the scorpion does commit suicide in
that way. This creature seems to be
unable to endure light; and when it is
exposed to light it seems to become so
desperate as to end its torture with its
own sting. W. G. Biddie tells this in
cident, which he himself observed In
Madras, and which he communicated
to Nature:
“One morning a servant brought to
me a large specimen of scorpion, which,
having staid ont too long in Its noc
turnal ramblesj had a jjpareptly got be
wildered at daybreak and been unable
to find its way home. To keep It safe,
the creature was at once put Into a
glazed entomological case. Having a
| few leisure minutes in the course of the
forenoon, I thought I would see how
my prisoner was getting on, and U
have a better view of it the ease was
placed in a window in the rays of the
hot sun. The light and heat seemed to
irritate it very much, and this recalled
‘o my mind a story which I had read
somewhere that a scorpion, on being
surrounded with fire, had committed
suicide. I hesitated about submitting
my pet to such a terrible ordeal; but,,
taking a common botanical lens, I fo
-ctised the rays of the sun on its back.
The moment- this was done it began to
run hurriedly about the case, hissing
and spitting in a very' fierce way. This
experiment was repeated some four or
five times with like results, but on try
ing it once again the scorpion turned
its tail and plunged the stinger quick
is lightning into its own back. The
Inflictipa of the wound was followed by
t sudden escape of fluid, and a friend
standing by me called out: ‘See, It ha#
•tung itself; it is dead;’ and sura
enough, in less than half a minute life
s as quite extinct. I have written this
>rief note to show (1) that animals may
;ommit suicide; (2) that the poison of
certain animals may be destructive to
themselves.”
An eminent, writer, Dr. Allen Thomp
son, F. It. S., has contributed tha fol
lowing narrative of facts observed by
B. F. Hutchinson, while living in the
summer at the baths of Sulla, in Italy.
Mr. Hutchinson and bis family were
very much annoyed by the frequent in
trusion of small black scorpions in the
house, which secreted themselves
among the bedclothes, in shoes, and in
other articles of dress. He says:
“It thus became necessary to be con
stantly on the watch for theae trouble-,
some creatures, and . to take meana for'
their removal and deatruction. Having
been informed by the natives of the
place that the scorpion would destroy
itself if exposed to a sudden light, my
informant and her friends soon became
adepts in catching the scorpions and
Imposing of them in the manner sug
gested. This consisted in confining
the animal under an inverted drinking

was inserted when the capture waa
made, and then, waiting till dark, sud
lenly bringing tlie light of a candle
near to the glass in' which the animal
was confined.
“No sooner was this done than the
scorpion invariably showed signs of
great excitement, running round and
round the interior of the tumbler with
reckless velocity for a number of
times. This state having lasted for a
minute or more, the animal became
quiet, and, turning its tail on the hinder
part of its body over its back, brought
its recurved sTing down upon the mid
lie of the head, and, piercing it forc
ibly, in a few seconds became quite
motionless, and, in fact, quite dead.
This observation w.»a repeated very
frequently; in truth. It was adopted a#
the best plan of getting rid of the ani
mals. The young people were in the
habit of handling the scorpions with
impunity immediately after they were
so killed, and of preserving many of
them as curiosities.”
It would be difficult to prove that
suicide is an evid.ence of intelligence;
and it is certainly different from any
other act that is prompted by instinct,
for instinct always tends to the pres
ervation of life in the individual and
also iq the species, never to its destruc
tion. Unless, therefore, there were
some reason to believe that light af
fects the physical organization of the
scorpion in such a way as to be fatally
injurious alike to the individual and to
the species, the extraordinary fact al
j leged in these anecdotes Is quite inex
plicable. There is reason, then, to re
ceive these stories with some hesitation,
but they cannot be summarily rejected.
