Mountains and Hail.
The influence of mountains
on the fall of hail has frequently
been the subject of controversy,
but up to the present time no
certain conclusion appears to
have been arrived. The Italian
Meteorological Office has recent- j
ly published an interesting note
upon the question by Prof. V.
Monti. The position chosen
were perhaps the most suitable
for the purpose of any among
the Italian network of stations,
viz, tht? Collegio Romano and
Monte cavo, an isolated station
near Pome, situated at an alti
tude of about 1.000 meters, the
complete observation at both
station, for the years 1880-87.
are contained in the Annals of
the Italian Meteorological office.
During this period, forty-one
days of hail were recodcd at
Rome against eighty at Monte
icavo; the monthly values show
to maxima, in April and Oc
tober, and to minima, in July
and December, as regards the
excess of hail at the mountains
station. A comparison of days
of thunderstorms shows, on ihe
jollier hand, that there were 76
such storms at Rome, against
[29 at Montecavo. This seems
Ito show the excess of hail at
the mountain station is not at
tributable to a greater intensity
of atmostpheric electricity. The
author gives a table showing
that the monthly mean temper
ture at Rome is at times about
10 degrees higher than at
Montecavo, and suggests that
the fusion of hail traversing a
warmer stratum of air may ac
count for the smaller amount
at Rome. —Scientific Ameri-

A city hall employee tells the
story of ail officeholder who
was one of a party that attened
the funeral of a chinaman on a
recent Sunday. lie took a
great deal of interest in the
queer services at the grave, and
noticed that, among other
things, a roasted duck was left
there by the departing mourn
ers. Calling one of the
"Chinks" aside he asked :
"Why did you leave the duck
on the grave? Do you think
the dead man will come out and
eat it?"

"About six years ago foi the

of Morgan, Texas. "I got tem
porary relief, but it came back
again and again, and for six
long years I have suffered more
misery and agony than I can
tell. It was worse than death.
My husband spent hundreds of
dollars for physicians' prescrip
tions and treatment without
avail. Finally we moved to
Bosque county. our present
home, and one day I happened
to see an advertisement of Cham
berlain's Colic, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy with a testi
monial of a man who had been
cured by it. The case was so
similar to my own that I con
cluded to try the remedy. The
result was wonderful. I could
hardly realize that I was well
again, or believe it could be so
after haviug suffered so long,
but that one bottle of medicine
costing but a few cents, cured
me." For sale by Hood & Gran

Chicago is a fast town. The
latest move there is a proposi

the street railways, so that ear
ly risers can eat their break
fasts on the way to work, and
dinning cars for men who do
not have time to spend an hour
or two at dinner. Thus they
can eat on the run, as it were,

HEARTBURN.
When the quanity of food
is too large or the quality too
rich, heartburn is likely to
follow, and especially so if
the digestion has been weakened
by constipation. Eat slowly and
not too freely of easily digested
food. Masticate the food thoro
ughly. Let six hours elapse
between meals and when you
feel a fullness and weight in
the region of the somach after
eating, indicating that you have
eaten too much, take one of
Chamberlain,s Stomch and
Liver Tablets and the heartburn
may be avoided. For sale by

The Last Congress.
The Congress that has just
adjourned will be remembered
in the future for its most impor
tant legislation. There have
been "onie painful and some
vevy pleasaut incidents during
the past session. Some mem
bers have distinguished them
selves and among that number,
we think that no other man has
grown in favor with the nation
as rapidly as Hon. F. W. Pou
of the Fourth district. His
record for the past seven
months has elated his many
friends throughout the State.
What has been done during
that time is well digested in
the following, which we take
from tlie"Charlotte Observer:
1 The passing of an isthmian
canal, and that providing, after
a strictly business ll fashion, for
the best and cheapest water
way possible, the Panama route
first, and if this is impossible,
the Nicaragua. This is an
item of legislation that will,
when carried out, affect the
trade of the world as directly as
the building of the Suez canal.
2 Perhaps the next in impor
tance to the people of the United
States is the repeal of the
war taxes amounting to $7O
- voted in 1898 to prose
cute the war with Spain. This
was not a party measure and
these tax burdens were voted
off with the same unanimity by
members of all parties that
they were voted on.
3 The scheme of civil govern
ment for the Philippine Islands
by which the United States
launches out into the business
of governing a great island col
ony, albeit the islanders are
given to begin with a large
measure of self-government.
4 The oleomargine act,
which particularly affects the
South, is one in which the tax
ing power of the government is
undoubtedly used to crush one
industry in the iuterest of
another.
5 The Chinese exclusion act
which afreets the west princi
pally, keeps the bars up high
where the Celestials would be
apt to seek entrance.
G A vast scheme of irrigation
for certain States and Territor
ies has been inaugurated at
Federal expense, although the
money is to come out of the sale
of public lands and not from
taxes. It sets a precedent in
the matter of expenditures that
is dangerous.
7 The river and harbor bill
carried $05,000,000 appropria
tions, and recklessness in spend
ing money for public buildiugs
was exhibited by this Congress.
The Congress is chiefly cen
surable for its pitiable failure
to pass the Cuban reciprocity
bill, a measure demanded by
the dictates of exact justice to
the little island we freed from
the grasp of Spain, and one
urged most strenuously, some
times in special messages, by
the President himself. The
best sugar trust accomplished
the defeat of this measure, and
the Republican party will have
great difficulty in answeriug to
the people for this crying wrong.
The appropriations have
amounted to $927,000,000. This
is a "billion dollar country,"
said Thos. B. Reed, on an occa
sion, but it seems the people
quietly submit to it, almost
cheerfully, to colossal appro
priations, .our statesmen may
be justified in assuring the ma
jority of the tax payers are sat
isfied with existing conditions.

Aims and Purposes of the Na~
tional Congress of Mothers.
To raise the standard of home
life. To develop wiser and bet
ter trained parenthood. To
give young people, ignorant of
the proper care and training of
children, opportunities to learn
this, that they may better per
form the duties of parenthood.
To bring into closer relations
the home and the school, that
parent and teacher may co-oper
ate intelligently in the educa
tion of the child.
To surround the childhood of
the whole world witli that lov
ing, wise care in the impres
sionable years of life, that will
develop good citizens, instead
of lawbreakers and criminals.
To use systematic, earnest
effort td this end, through the
formation of Mothers' Clubs in
every public school and else
where the establishing of kin
dergartens and laws which ade
quately care for neglected and
dependent children, in the firm
belief that united concerted
work for little children will pay
better than any other philan
thropic work that can be done.
To carry the motherlove and
mother thought into all that
concerns or touches childhood
in home, school, church, State
or Legislation.
To interest men and women
to co-operate in the work for
purer, truer homes' in the be
lief that to accomplish the best
results men and women must
work together.
To secure such legislation as
will ensure that children of ten
der years may not be tried in
ordinary courts, but that each
town shall establish juvenile
courts and special officers
whose business it shall be to
lookout for that care which will
rescue, instead of confirm, the
child in evil ways. To work
for such probationary care in
individual homes rather than
institutions.
To rouse the whole commun
ity to a sense of its duty and re
sponsibility to the blameles, de
pendent and neglected children,
because there is no philanthro
py which will so speedily re
duce our taxes, reduce our
prison expense of institutions
for correctiou and reform.
The work of the Congress is
civic work in its broadest and
highest sense; and every man
or woman, who is interested in
the arms of Congress, cordially
invited to become a member,
and aid in the organized effort
for a higher, nobler, national
life which can only be attained
through the individual homes.
