The ruins at this point, which consist mainly of kiln -burnt bricks, . huge rough and cut stones and vitrified mortar - almost hidden from sight by the sands which have been accumulating for centuries, are 198 feet in height and nearly 800 yards in circumference. Sir. R. K. Porter, who has given much time to excavating,mapping and studying the Birs Nimrod ruins believes its vitrified appearance to be the re- sults of numerous lightning strokes, con- clusions which (taken in connection with the tradition that the tower was "destroyed by fire from heaven") forms an interesting subject for thought. Porter also says that with the exception of natural accumulation and decay the tower is in his estimation, almost in the exact condition as it was when abandoned at the time of the confusion of tongues. gh At Norristown, Maine, W. B. Logan, a horseshoer, trade nine miniature horse shoes from the metal contained in one silver dime. Each shoe bas the number of holes usually found in horseshoes of the ordinary size ; but, strange to say, the smallest cambric needle is too large to be used as nails in these miniature wonders. Logan has made affidavit that every one of these tiny silver :rescents were made with the same hammer making shoes for the How it was ever done and punch used in argest sized horse, s a mystery. Wonder's of Sleep• ay,4{bseems to be no limit to the possible accomplishments of the human mind while in that state known as sleep. Condorcet, the great mathematician, solved one of his most difficult problems while asleep—one which he had failed to solve while awake. Peichart, of the University of Basle,wrotea sermon while asleep. Coleridge the "dream• ing philosopher," composed Kubla Khan while fast asleep. Next morning he said that he was sure there had been an acquisi- tion to his literature, but he was too negli- gent to write it out. A few days later he attempted to recall the verses, but they had in moat part fled from his mind. The poem as it now stands is only a fragment. Parata, the Maori Sea Monster. , The Maoris of New Zealand and the ad- joining island have a strange belief con- cerning the cause of the ebb and flow of the tides. These phenomena they attribut- ed to, a huge water breathing dragon which they -call Parata, who is said to do this work by powerful and regular respirations or in- gurgitations and regurgitations of water. W ith one tribe in Australia and another in the Sandwich Islands it is customary to speak of a drowned person having fallen into the great throat of Parata, a superstition which proves a connection between these widely separated islands at a remote period of their history. Tne New Zealands also have a myth which tells them that their isl- and was originally populated by this same water breathing monster, which is said to have brought a loaded canoe in his mouth from some far -away land. A cunning priest confined in the monster's mouth with the others recited acharm which caused Parata to disgorge his load in time for those in the canoe to land safely on the c 'ast of what is now New Zealand. The words of this charm are still known to the natives and repeated in times of great danger. Superstitions About the Aurora Borealis. The ancients viewed the aurora borealis with superstitious awe—always looking upon it as an omen of direful disaster. It is not unusual for old time descriptions of battles to make allusions to the " awful " display of aurora borealis, or " Northern Lights," which preceded them. The ancient inhabitants of the lands bordering the Medi- terranean Sea called the aurora by names which expressed the different colors—such L:" " LL .sal chastnate,"bolides, trabes'etc. In the annals of Clan-Macnoise is to be found an account of s. great purple aurora which lighted np the whole northern skies on the night before the great battle between Lein- ster and Munster, Ireland. In the Fall of 1859 the people of America witnessed some •of the grandest aurora displays known to history, and many superstitious people, both North and South, believe even to this day that the peculiar appearance of the .skies at the time mentioned were a presage of the great rebellion. On the 2d, 3d, and 29th of September, of the year mentioned in the foregoing, brilliant auroras were re- ported from every point in the civilized world. Wonderful P7oodea Libraries. One department of the town museum at Jissel, Germany, is made up of the most_ singular lot of books that ever greeted the harp admiring eye of the bibliomaniac—a library of 500 volumes, each a perfect book made of a different kind of wood. The back of each volume is formed of a bark of its particular tree, the sides of the wood in its mature state, the top of young, immature wood, and the bottom of the same after hav- ing been dried and seasoned. When opened these remarkable books are found to be with- out leaves, the inside being a box containing the flower, seed, fruit, and leaf of the tree from which the box book has been made. Australia has over 1000 species of trees large enough to work up into books, and one Colonel Clamp, modeling from the Cassel oddities, exhibited in a large collec- tion of wooden books at the Colonel exposi- tion. Each book in the Colonel's collection was aphabetically arranged and labelled with both the common and scientific name of the species of tree from which the dainty little wooden volumes were fashioned. The collection was formed with the sole idea of showing up the wonderful possibilities of the Australian forests. Taking advantage of the idea illustrated in the wooden library at Wassel, and the commendable efforts of Colonel Clamp, the antipodean wood collector, Russia em- ployed a cabinet maker during the entire Winter of 1877-78 in making a library of the woods found in the extensive Russian for- ests. These were classified and arranged for the Russian exhibit at the Paris Expos- itions of both 1878 and 1389. As in the Cassel library, this Russiau wood collection showed the wood in its several growths, as well as fruit, leaves, and seeds, either f natural or imitated in wax. Row the " Big Dipper " Has Changed. One of the most notable of examples of the constant and yet almost imperceptible changes taking place in the heavens is to be found in the motion of the seven bright stars collectively known as "the Big Dip- per." Huggins, the noted astronomer, was for long engaged in proving that five of these stars are moving in one direction, while the ether two are moving in a direction directly contrary. Professor Flammarion has reduc- ed the Huggins calculations and theories to a system, arranging them upon charts. These ingeniously constructed heavenly out- lines show that 100,000 years ago the "Dip- per "stars were arranged in the fohn of a cross, and that 100,000 years hence tliey will have assumed the shape of an elongated diamond, stretching out over three nr four times as much space as they now oceapy. The Tower of' Babel. Three different pike of ruins in Babylonia claim the distinction of being the remnants xf the original tower, the building of which 3aused the " confusion of tongues." The first of the three is the celebrated Nimrod's Tower, near Akkurkef ; the second on the east bank of the Euphrates River, five miles above the modern city of Hillah ; third, the conical mound known as Birs 4limre ; six miles and a hall southwest of A Monster Rose Bl* The trunk of a rose bush or tree which has been in full bloom at Ventura, Cal., all Summer is three feet in circumference at the ground. The first branch, which juts out at a height of about four feet from the ground,.is eight inches in diameter, or about two feet in circumference. It was planted in 1876- from a slip obtained in the Centennial Exhibition, and, although sever- al wagon -loads of limbs are annually pruned off, it now covers an area of nearly 2,(f-0 square feet. It is predicted that by then time it is twenty five years old it will have outstripped the gigantic rose tree at Col- ogne, which is 1 nown to be more than 300 years old, and is less that four feet in cir- cumference. The Oddest W atoh. A watchmaker in Newcastle, England, recently completed a set of three gold shirt studs, in one of which there is a watch that keeps absolutely correct time, the dial of which is only three -sixteenths of an inch in diameter. The three studs are connected by a strip of silver inside the shirt bosom, the watcb contained in the middle one being wound up by turning the stud above. To set the hands it is only necessary to give the lower stud the proper twist. Lucky Friday. The notion that Friday is an unlucky day is the worst nonsense that ever entered the human head, says the St. Louis Globe - Democrat. In Chicago there are half a dozen families of Fridays who have as good luck as any other people, and in early Ameri- can history the day was peculiarly lucky. Columbus sailed on Friday, August '21. On Friday, October 12, he discovered land ; on Friday, January4, he started home to Spain, on Friday, March 5, he reached Palos. In 1493 he arrived at Hispaniola on his second voyage on Friday, November 22, and on Friday he discovered the continent. Any other country's history will show as many lucky as unlucky Fridays, and as for a man being named Friday, "what's in a name?" DICTIONARY OF SNOBBISMS- Only vulgar women pay visits ; ladies who are ladies return calls. People of ton do not break up housekeep- ing ; they relinquish it. A public speaker is never applauded to his face, but cheered to the echo. Illiterate persons will oftentimes say that the day began, etc. This is bad form. Days are invariably ushered in. It is only in private that musicians play. In public they confine their energies in dis- coursing most eloquent music. A woman does not cry ; but she may oc- casionally burst into tears, or scalding tears may course down her cheeks. It is vulgar to say that a man got rich. The proper caper is to remark that he acquired a competence or attained to af- fluence. In the bright lexicon of literature there is no such word as fail, though a man may become embarrassed or his affairs go into liquidation. A young woman never plays or performs on the piano ; she renders selections from the great masters and sometimes gives a recital. Any new enterprise—he it a railroad, a government, a horse race or piggery—is never begun, or opened, or started ; invari- ably is it inaugurated. In ordinary conversation it is well enough to speak of doors being opened ; but in composition never fail to say that the doors were thrown open. Remember that when a criminal leaves this world through the instrumentality of the gallows he falls with a dull, sickening thud, or is launched into eternity. It may be unnecessary to suggest to young writers that they never have after-dinner speeches at public banquets, although they quite commonly indulge in postprandial elo- quence. It is social solecism to say that Bob Yuse- less has been discharged, or has got the G. B. The approved form is : Mr. -Robert Yuseless has severed his connection with the establishment of Biasfolds & 'rating. Never say a man fell to the ground and• was killed, but the man was pereipi-fated to mother earth, a lifeless mass of hum anity. A lifeless corpse is also authorised by exten- sive usage, although somewhat in the nature of pleonasm. Do not say that Miss Blank was the cen- tre of attraction at the assembly. If you would make yourself clear and perspicuous tell your readers that she was the cynosure of neighboring eyes or the observed of all observors. In short, as a general rule, remember' that it is a cardinal principle of polite literature never to call a spade a spade, but that sharp instrument with which the Theban hus- bandman lays bare the breast of our greet mother. The Largest Serpent _ The largest serpent of which accurate measurements have been taken and noted was an anaconda which Dr. Gardner found dead and suspended to the fork of a tree during his travels in Mexico. It was drag- ged out into the open ground by two horses and was found to measure thirty-seven feet in length. Inside of it were discovered the bones and flesh of a horse in a half-digested state, and there was no doubt that it had swallowed the animal whole. Dr. Gardner and other travellers say that anacondas, pythons and boas attain a length of over forty feet, but there is no recorded instance of one having been encountered longer than thatwhich has been mentioned,though many persons have sten serpents alive which they estimate to be of considerably greater size. White pique dresses have beenrevived,and are worn with colored sashes and full white mull chemisettes of plastrons beneath Figaro jackets, for dinners and high teas. ise Further Details oY ,the Seuio a.4 at Gravitnhurst. A Prominent Physician Interviewed— Science Sas Its Say—Almost a Bestir rection. (Toronto Mail.) - (From Our Own Reporter.) GRAVENHURST, Sept. 30. —Further inves- tigation discloses the fact that there is hard- ly anything else spoken of in this town but Sane Murray's wonderful recovery. His case is considered marvellous, - and no cure at the shrine of St. Anne de Beaupre ever startled people like his case has this section of the community. In the hotels you hear his name mentioned, and being well-known along the different towns on the Northern railway, Murray's case attracts unusual in- terest. Dr. Cornell is one of the frost popular men in Gravenhurst. He runs a large drug store, and has a very extensive practise. He stands high in- the medical profession, and is Grand Trunk physician for that sec- tion. •His drug business is one of the larg- est in Northern Ontario. He was seen at his office. He said: "I have known Mur- ray for a long time. He was employed on th - Grand Trunk railway as brakesman for several years. His fingers were crushed, and being one of the Grand Trunk physi- cians I looked after his case. One night in June, '91, he was carried into my office. He had fallen down on the street. I found that he was suffering from paralysis. He has been disabled until recently, butI don't care to talk very much of his case. I am not seeking cheap notoriety." "But, doctor, I suppose you have no ob- jection to answer a few queries to substan- tiate what Murray says?" "Well, no ; go ahead." "Was Murray ill for a long time, and is it true that his disability claims were paid by the Grand Trunk. You attended him for some time, you say, and you should know ?" "Yes, I attended him, and he was pretty low. Although I never give up hope, I thought he would never be able to get about again. After he fell the first time he kept poking about and took three; or four other spells. He was then confined to his house, and later on took to his bed. Boils and eruptions broke out on his legs and arms, neck and face, and his blood was in a very bad way. He kept gradually gettingworse, and everybody thought he would die. He complained of his back very much. I at- tributed his disease largely to overwork. I believed he would never be able to resume his duties again. He was paid his total disability Maim by the Grand Trunk at that time." "How does it come that he is about and working again?" "Well, you see as a professional man I hardly like to say. It might look as if I were. lending myself to some advertising schenfe, and I would rather not say any- thing on that subject. "But," doctor, that is not fair. Does Sam Murray know what cured him?" "Well, he says, and everybody says, it was some pills he bought here that cured him." "What pills, doctor. Do you know the name of them?" " There you go again. Now, I said I did not want to put myself in a false position before the profession." " But he bought the pills in your drug store. What pills were they ?" " Well, I'll tell you the truth, they were Dodd's Kidney Pills, and remember, I want you to say, if you say anything about me, this is the truth. Sam got the pills here, and be says they cured him. I have sold a lot of them to others and they all speak highly of them." "Doctor, would you as a physician pre- scribe these pills in your practise for kid- ney troubles ?" " Yes, I would. Knowing the active principle of the pills they are such as I would prescribe for patients suffering from ki ney troubles, for they are both a tonic and a diuretic." " Doctor, is it true that diseased nidneys poison theblood?" " Yes the blood gets full of uric acid." " Will the curing of diseased kidneys cleanse the blood of uric acid and impuri- ties ?" " Well, it is only natural to sup pose that if you remove the cause of a disease you can expect a cure." " Do you consider Sam Murray's case a remarkable one?" "Yes, -1 certainly do." A NEWSPAPER MAN. Fred Harbridge,of the Gravenhurst Banner, was seen. He said : Sam I 1 urray's case is causing a good deal of talk. We used to publish paragraphs that he was -not expect- ed to live over night. Every week we ex- pected his death notice. Sam got hold of Dodd's Kidney Pills through alittle book that was dropped into his house called Kidney Talk, and he took the pills and is as well as ever. When he`was that bad that part of his life insurance was paid by the Gram Trunk you may judge he was pretty low. He recovered so rapidly and miraculously that everybody is talking about his case. We had something in the paper about. it. There is no denying that he is cured, and that Dodd'aPills itdid. Anybody in Graven- horst will tell you that. A GRAND TRUNK OFFICAL. Mr. J. T. Torrey, Grand Trunk agent at Gravenhurst, was seen. Mr. Torrey is a middle-aged man, and a great favorite in the place. He was asked if he knew Mur- ray, and he said " Yes. I know two Mur - rays, Sam Murray and his brother. I put both of them to work as brakesmen on the Grand Trunk. I remember when Sam was taken ill, and nobody expected he would get better." " Did he get his total disability money from the Grand Trunk." " Yes, he got his sick benefits first through me, and then when it was expected he would die his total disability claim was paid through me also. I never thought Sam would recover. He says he was cured by taking Dodd's Kidney Pills." TIER PROPRIETORS. _ Mr. J. A. McKee of the firm of L. A. Smith & Co., manufacturers of Dodd's Kid-, ney Pills was seen at their place of bust. nese in Toronto. He was verybusybut was willing to`speak of the Murray case. He said in answer to some questions. "Yes, wehaveheard of Murray's wonderful cure at Gravenhurst through taking our Dodd's Kidney Pills. But his case is only one of many. Here are several others just as startling. " fulling a bundle of letters out, of a drawer. " We have not been adver tising`these pills to any great extent, and we are astonished at their rapid sale. The - only way to account for it is that they sell on their merits. Those who use them tell their friends about them and they are ad- vertised in that way. These pills are a new departure in ,medicine.. The formula has- been used successfully by one of the most eminent specialists in the world for the cure of kidney diseases: But_ iiia feerVicesrare only avaiia iTe for the wealthy, sail eueli if the formu a were known to all practitioners could note made up by :the , drug 'stores,: for Special fpcilities have to be ahran d for- compounding - ..them.. Hitiherto Sidney remedies liave been pat up in liquid -form. A certain percentage of alcohol has, to be put up in such mixtures to keep the medicine. This alcohol, it has been time and again demons trated, counteracts the beneficial effects of the drugs contained in the mixture, for there is nothing worse for the kidneys than alcohol, and it defeats the objects for which the remedy is intended. We,. obviate thisdifficulty by`having: the active principles only of the drugs put up in concentrated form in the shape of a pill, which is easily taken. They are neatly put up in boxes with the trade mark ' Dodd's Kidney Pills' on each box, and are for sale by all druggists and dealers in medicines at fifty cents per box. We will mail them direct on receipt of price." From these interviews with and the in- vestigations made your correspondent has "proved beyond,a doubt that such a man as Sam Murray exists, and that the facts of his case as published in the Gravenhurst Banner are true in every particular. Not only does Sam Murray himself speak out, but, his evidence is supported by documentary proofs and also by Dr. Cornell, a well known physician in Gravenhurst, the mayor of the town, the, station master, and others. Also that Dodd's Kidney Pills effected his cure. after the case had been given up as hope- less. No Doubt of It, Ralph—T-here is one thing .I notice, that every girl likes to hav`e-her finger in. Robert—What is that? Ralph—An engagement ring ! The Bank of England is at present au thorissd to issue notes to the value of £16,- 450,000 on securities (£11,015,100 of which is debt owing by the Government to the Bank). Beyond that all notes issued must be represented by Gold coin or bullion ectu- ally deposited in the Bank cellars, and held lik e the securities by the Issue Department. If the Bank increases such deposit of gold it can increase its issue of notes to the same extent. For instance, in the week ending December 18, 1889, there was . gold in the hands of the Issue Department to the value of £18,228,805 and iu that week the value of the notes issued was £34,428,805, being that amount of -gold plus the value of issues against securities,then authorised, of £16-, 200,00 ; while in the week ending August the 19, 1892, the gold in the hands. of the Issue Department was £26,061,655 (an in- crease of £7,832,850), and the value of the notes issued ' was £42,511,6.55 being that amount of gold plus the value of issues against securities,now authorised, of £16. 450,000. The increase in issue of notes to the value of £8,082,850 was met by the ad- ditional gold deposited to thevalueof £7,- 832,850 plus the additional value of £250,- 000 authorised to be issued against secure- 'fese If you were to take the conceit out of some people the remains would defy identifica- tion.

Colorless,Emaciated,; Helpless A Complete Cure by HOOD'S SARSAPARILLA. This is from Mr. D. M. Jordan, a re- tired farmer, and one of the most re- spected citizens of Otsego Co., N. Y. "Fourteen years ago I had an attack of the gravel, and have since been troubled with my Liver and. Kidneys gradually growing worse. Three years ago I got down so low that I could scarcely walk. I looked more like a corpse than a living being. I had no appetite and for five weeks I ate nothing but gruel. I was badly emaciated and had no more color than a marble statue. Hood's Sarsaparilla was recommended and I thought I would try it. Before I had finished the first bottle I noticed that I -felt better, suf- fered less, the inflammation of the blad- der had subsided, the color began to return to my face, and I began to feel hungry. After I had ttaken three bottles I could eat anything without hurting me. Why, I got so hungry that I had to eat 5 times a day. I have now fully recoered, thanks to Hood's Sarsaparilla I feel well and run well. A11 viho know me marvel to see me so well." D. M. JORDAN.
