V, . r . . ; . t . it.ir nuer vear, wnvn pom u s (V:v?e from troubling, there recurs the question as to the existence of intelligent, sentient life on t lie planet Mars. The last outcrop of j '-Uions grew from the discov- !er.v b.v M- Jatell of a luminous j projection on the southern edge of tho planet. The light was peculiar jn several respect, and, among i other interpretations, it was eug- ' Sted that the inhahitants of Mars w"ro flashing messages to the con- jectured inhabitant of the sister ie 81ster planet, earth. No attempt at reply was made; inuecl maue: inueci, supposing our astronomer royal, with our best , telescopes, transported to Mars, a ! red riot of Cre running athwart the j whole of London would scarce he ! visible to him. The question re mains n nans wered , probably nnan i gvrerable. There is no doubt that Mars is very like the earth. Its days and nights, its summers and winters differ ours. It has land and oceans, con tinents and islands, mountain ranges and inland seas. Its polar regions are covered with snows, and it has an atmosphere and clouds, warm snnsbine and gentle rains. The spectroscope that subtle analyst .of the most distant stars, gives ns rea son to believe that the chemical ele ments familiar to us here exist on Mars. The planet, chemically and physically, is so like the earth that, as protoplasm, the only living ma terial we know, came into existence on the earth, there is no great ditli culty in supposing that it came into exis'.ence on Mars. If reason be able to guide us, we know that protoplasm, at first amor phons and unintegrated, has been guided on this earth by natural forces into that marvelous scries of forms and integrations we call the animal ami vegetable kingdoms. Why under the similaT gniding forccs on Mars, should not proto plasm be the root of as fair a branch ing tree of living beings, and bear, as fair a fruit of intelligent, senti ment creatures? Saturday Review. Glass Affects th Flavor. Probably ninety-nine persons out of every hundred, taken at random, would ridicule the idc:i that the quantity of glass of which a bottle may be made can have any influence on the taste or keeping qualities of its contents. And yet that it does do so we have the beet of evidence. We are not alluding to the infiirence of light shining through the flasks and its action on the' substance con tained, but the direct chemical re action occurring between the glass and the material within the flaek. Very recently tlfe following case occurred in France. A wealthy re tired merchant bought a lot of very costly and rare wine in caske, samp les of the wine from each oask being given him by tho wino merchant. The wine was delivered, and the new owner proceeded to have it racked off and bottled. Some time afterward some of the wine was brought to t tie table and on tasting it the hos-t detected a strange, un pleasant taste, which was also no ticed by the guests A fresh bottle was found to be similarly affected, and bottle after bottle was opened with the same result. An examina tion of the stock in the cellar devel oped the fact that every boltlo of the recent purchase was spoiled. A suit was brought against the wine merehant, who declared that he had delivered the article exactly accord ing to the samples furnished. On examining these latter they were foutul in excellent condition. It is unnecessary to go into de tails, but during the course of the action at w some of the bottles were produced in court, -when it was found that the glass had become opaqoe. The bottles wore handed over to a chemist, along with one of the lot purchased for bottling thp wine which had never been used. This is what the chemist found in the glass of thw unused bottle; Sil icic acid, ".l; potash and soda, 4.4; ime, o2.1: argillaceous matter (iron, etc.). 11.1. In the examination of the bottles that had been used, while the silicic acid and argilla ceous materia! remained constant or nearly so. the lime, potash and soda were verv much diminished, and it was made- evident that they had passed into solution, forming com pounds with the acid ingredient of the wine, decomposing the latter and rendering it unfit to drink. There is now a suit pending against the maker of the bottles. National I ' r u g g i s t . No Room for Debate. i The campaign is upon us, and no j matter what "battles, sieges, forti tines" may developed over economic differences, there are some matters touching the contest upon which all can agree. .Owing to the extreme heat and the shortness of life, it is well to "get together on the unques- J tioueJ pood things in tlu i m i eiil i n r otruffi'li- at unce. A'ree with tliine adversary, quickly while thou art with bim." Know all men hy these presents, then, that the opposing presidential candidates of the two great parties are worthy types of meriean citi zenship as far as moral uprightness i concerned. They aro hot h splen- id specimens of physical strenght, of manlv attractiveness. md nccord ing to all accounts are is clean per sonally as their smooth shaven and expressive faces. The. Hon. Wil liam MeKinley is fonnd in his pew on Sunday mornings and the lion. William J. Hryan neither chews, swears, drinks nor smokes. There is no chance for an iss-,e in compar ison of their personal- worth. Another satisfactory reflection is that the alignment of parties insure a campaign pf education on the ; ,,lltiStion of finance, a thin? that is . onv vaglielv (i0mprehended bv the majority of people. The country will go to scuool the coming four months and the course will be full of interest and profit to everv citizen who is anxious to inform himself on the currency system of the country. If he follows the papers and tnrke advantage of the literature which will be available on the subject he ought to be able to master all tho ramifications of the vexed question. Let us all rejoice that it promises to be a clean campaign, aa instruct ive campaign. Purchase of Wives. There are many countries .in which, if a man wishes to be legally married, he has to go out and buy a wife, though the market prices of that article varies considerably. In L'ganda you can get what you re quire for two or three bullocks, or even for six good sewiirg needles, or porhaps a box'of percussion caps; while interior wives can be picked up in exchange for a coat, and if one is indifferent to health and beauty, for a Dair o? shoes. In the Caroline Islands wives are cheap. A father will let you marry his daughter, if you give him a little fruit or a small present of fish, while in Samoa matrimony runs you into pigs and canoes; among' the Pijians, into whales' teeth and mus kets. In Tartary it is best to marry beneath you (you can do it on a fow pounds of butter), because a man who has lordly notions of a marriage with one of the upper ten must be an owner of the horses. The aborigines of Australia man age their marriages upon a most equitable principle. If A wishes to marry B's sister, he allows him to marry his ownTor if B happens to be a widower, then his daughter will do just as well. One of the most objectionable forms of gaining a wife is to work for her, a habit practiced among many uncivilized nations, its only advantage berng that a man can,' get a wife On credit, though his fafher'-in-law takes good care that he serves his time. Among some races you have to do your work before you get your wife, as Jacob had to servo for Leah and for K.chel. Marriage by exchange and pur chase is not customary among un civilized nationB only. In Central America and Peru a man has to work for his bride. In China a present is given by the father of the bridegroom, the amount of which is agreed upon by both trie families. The Japanese make use c a similar custom, thougli, in their case, the giving of presents is the most important part of tlve whole marriage ceremony, for aVter these have been delivered and formally accepted, neither of the contracting parties is able to go back. Wife-purchase appears to have been the basis of Indo-European marriage before the separation of the peoples took place. Many men tions the Asura form of marriage as one of purchase, and according to Aristotle the ancient Greeks were in the habit of buying their brides; for in the Homeric age a maiden was called by a name which signified "one who brings her parents many oxen. " The old Scandinavians believed that even the gods had paid a price for their wives, and in Germany the expression "to purchase a wifu" was in vogue until the end of the mid dle ages. The old inhabitants of Ireland and Wales were accustomed to buy their wives .with gold and silver or land. In Servia, at the beginning of our century, girls had reached such a price that Black (jeorge reduced their value to one d ucat. Among many savage nations, the equivalents of a wife are varied and grotesque. Poor Bashkirs purchase theirs with cart loads of wood or hay; the Indian Kisans, with two baskets of rioe and a rupee; a tribe in California, with half a string of dentalium shell, and among the Padams, a rude people of India, the suiter shows his intentions by gifts of field mice and squirrels.

"The .-trangest island in the world." eaid the captain of the I'nitud States steamship Bear, is King's island, "J,."i0 miles northwest of here and l'Jo miies 1V the coast of Sieria. It lies almost in the mid dle of Behring straits, almost equi distant from the Atlantic and American shores. It is inhabited by 1S of the queerest people I ever - set eyes upon. The inhabitants comprise men, women anu cnnuren of all ages, and, besides these, there are numerous dogs of all degrees except high. The island is little more than a rock rising out of the storm tossed waters of the ever-tur bulent straits. It is about a mile long and a half mile wide, and its sides are so precipitous that thev are cliffs. "Almost in the middle of the island and at the south side is an indentation made bv- the rushing waters. This is expanded into a funnel-like hole, reaching into the island and out at the top at an angle approximating oi degrees. The hole is ISO feet deep, and during stormy weather the natives let down u rope and drag up the seals, walruses, and other sea animals, which they have taken. It is on these animals that ttie natives subsist, lliev are very expert in taking tnem. as welt as great whales, which they do not fear to attack, and, in fact, secure as trophies of their prowess. They hunt all these animals in their kyaks boats so stout and skilfully made, that, though they are often tossed over and over by the surf, tney are never wrecked ana are speedilv righted. The boatmen sit with their feet in holes in the boats clad in water-tight walrus skins. These boats will put off successfully where the ordinary boat would not live aminute. "But about the catch of these walruses and other animals and the strange island. The natives have scooped out queer receptacles on both sides of the entrance on the ledge. These are so cool that thev are natural retrigerators, and in these they store the bodies of the animalus for future use. There are about twenty of these receptacles or natural refrigerators, and there is nearly always a supply of meat in them, so that the chances of starving at any time are comparatively scarce On the right side of the island above is the village of the Indians It is a queer town, wdiose miniature houses are made of walrus skins stretched on light frames. The ground is so rough that the little skin abodes are arranged one above tne otner, like nouses in a mining camp on the mountain side. In the distance they look small and fragile, but they are full of people and active as beehives. From the tossinsr waves where the Bear lay catacomb like ref rigeraters and the village present a novel appearance. " I he island, although a sort of republic in its government, is ruled by a few medicine men, each of dif ferent degrees of importance. The medicine men hold their positions by their remarkable feats of leger demaiu. Many people have gone to see Herrman and Blitz also in his lifetime and have wondered at the feats they have seen them perform. But I undertake to say that none of these professors of the black art have- performed more marvelous things than I have seen these bar barian medicine men do the.ro. For instance, I have seen one of these medicine men take a man and lay him on a table and take a big knife ank stick it right into him to the handle. The man would writhe, turn pale, gasp and die. Then the medicine man would withdraw the knife, go through a few incanta tions, fumble over the victim and in a moment he would get up and go about, sound as ever. I have also seen them pluck out rabbits, birds and other forms of animal life from impossible places. They would do these things before your eyes that were marvelous to us and to all the natives, for, of course, the natives believe implicit- in the supernatural powers'of their medi cine man. "But the strangest thing I saw happened on board my ship one day. There were about 100 of these natives aboard. One of the natives, a girl, fell down with a hemorrhage and vomited blood all a:ound. The blood came from- her lungs in streams. She was lying there on the deck as pale as death and I thought to myself that she would die there, eo I rushed a man off to get Dr. Yeamans, the Bear's surgeon. Be fore the doctor could et there the phief medicine man rushed out and, going to the girl, lie blew first into one ear and then into the other, and then tapped her on the chin, and she got up and was all right again, and she began dancing around on he ship, as healthy and active as! though thero never had been the lease thing the matter with her. And, mark you, this wasn't two minutes from the time she had the hemorrhages. I never saw any thing so marvelous in my life. There was all the blood before me on the ship, too. "The tribe of Indians have lived there from time immemorial They have been born thero and on the island they bury their dead. The Indians are nomads and leave the island every summer, with the ex ception of u few housekeepers, and don't come back till SepU'Ui bur. They go to the mainland on both sides, wandering about like our American Indians used to do on the prairies, only that these live largely in their kyaks, while they hunt for seals, walruses and whales. "The strange rock in the sea which is the abode of these natives is about thirty miles from Port Clat ence. I relieved them twice when they had been reduced to a point bordering on starvation. "I cannot se but that these na tives on that mde rock in bleak and distant Behring straits are as happy as any people I have ever known. Their children -are as joyful, appar ently, as ours, and in all resp?cts the people seem to en joy life as well as we do here. Did you ever hear of another people like them . If I had 11 not. seen tnem i would una it nam to belive that they actually existed."' San Francisco Call. The Way to Wealth. "Put money in thy purse"' is good advice, not in the sense in which Othello's false friend tendered it to Oasslo. Insensate grasping for riches is as productive of evil conse quences as sloth. And yet this eagerness to acquire wealth is one of the most marked characteristics of the young men of this country. They are apt to be dazzled by the display that wealth makes and be come anxious to join the compara tively few to whom this is possible. Unfortunately too many are inclined to follow the counsel which that old farmer on his death bed gave to his son: "Get rich, my son; honestly, if you can; but get rich." Too many of the wrecks that strew the path way of the busisess life of our great cities have been caused by forsaking the straight and narrow path of honesty, and instfead striking into the alluring highway of shady and doubtful transactions. There is jiothing reprehensible in a youngnan's desire to become rich. On the contrary it is the most natural thing in the world for him to strive for that independence of the favors or whim of others which is secured by a competance. There is nothing dishonorable in the seeking of wealth, if it be attempted by hon orable, upright and manly methods. In fact, a young man who does not entertain the ambition to make himself thus independent, is pretty sure to be a drone in the human beehive and to manifest a disposi tion to get all he can out of life with as little exertion as possible. Young America is nothing if not pushing active, enterprising, and ambitious. It is the glory of this nation thatit is so. We would not have it otherwise for the world. We would stimulate the desire for the ac quisition of wealth in every way that is honorable, and with the purpose in view of benefiting not only self, but one's fellowmen. But we Avould warn the young men of the day against the growing evil of inordi nate avarice the eagerness to become rich whether by honest means or otherwise. Many a young man who ias held an honorable, responsible, and remunerative position in the business world, with the fairest pros pect of advancement, has allowed limself to be lured from the path of rectitude by the will-o'-the-wisp of speedily acquiredfwealth. And then ie falls never to rise. One of the leading members of the Boston Chamber of Commerce was recently asked to indicate some of the dangers that beset the ways of young men, and he replied unhes itatingly that the greatest evil of all was the craze to acquire wealth rapidly. Among other things he aid : This desire is usually accompan ied bv extravagant habits and tastes, md the combination is too much for the average yonng man to contend with successfully, lhis haste to be rich to begin life where his father eft off to win a fortune by a few bold or reckless ventures, rather :an depend upon the slow process of small but steady gain, has been the ruin of countless numbers of our voting men, and will continue to be wherever this spirit dominates the life The opportunities for speculation in our large cities abound, and the temptation to take isks they cannot afford in the hope of making extraordinary gains is more than many young men can re sist, successful ventures in purely peculativo transactions unfit one for tho slower, but safer, methods of doing business, but where ten men achieve final success in speculation, hundreds are mined. These are words worth heeding. Put money in thy purse, young man: but choose no way other than which honesty and fair dealing point out. Wash. Times. All the People Should keep themselves healthy and especial care should be given to this matter at this time. Health de pends upon pure, rich blood, for when the blood is impure and im poverished diseases of various kinds are almost certain to result. The one true blood purifier is Hood's Sarsaparilla. By its power to purify and vitalize the blood it has proved itself to be the safeguard of health, and the record of remarkable cures effected proves that it has wonderful power over disease. It actually and permanently cures when all other preparations fail to do any good whatever. NOTICE.
