We know that our immediate ancestors found their med cines in the fields and forests, adjoining their log cabin homes. These natural remedies were eflicacious and harmless left no poison in the system. Physicians were rarely called in, and the people lived to rugged and hearty old age.

The theory is held bv Prof. Memleleef that petroleum is not of an mal or vegetable origin, as is generally supposed, but it is by water which penetrates the earth's curst and comes in contact with the glowing carbides of metals, espec ally of iron. The oxygen uniting with the iron, while the hydrogen takes up the carbon and ascends to a higher region, where part of it is condensed into mineral oiL and part re-ma ns as natural gas to escape wherever and whatever it cau find an outlet.

If this assumption is correct, and a sufficient store of metallic carbides is contained in the earth's interior, petroleum may cantiuue to be formed almost indefinitely and yield a supply of fuel long after the coal has become exhausted. Prof. Mendeleef supports his views by producing artificial petroleum in a mantier similar to that by which he believes the natural product is mad-J. market to-day was very slow.

A Washington correspondent ol The New York Evening post, writes: One of the most experienced navigators in the navy department, speaking of the big raft, the remains of which Commander McCalla of the Enterprise, leems to have found says 'The raft could have been brought from Newfoundland to New York city, but not under the circumstances reported in this case. There were two radical faults connected with the attempt so far as one can ascertain from ihe published accounts: First, there was inadequate towing power. Second, mere was a lack of provisions and, perhaps, of oil.

There was only one Vessel assigned to the task of towing tremendous raft, aud this vessel fvas not well adapted to towing, and was not strong enough. There jught to have been two towing vessels, aoth adapted to the work, so that if an iccidcnt happened to one, the other tvould be at hand to assist The lecond fatal dlliculty was that the vessel was supplied with only three weeks provisions, whde it ought to lave had provisions for throe months, the vessel had had sufficient quantity )f provisions the captain would not have left the raft He would have placed lights upon it and obtained iackle after a while from some pass-ng vessel, which would at leagt iave enabled him to have towed logs into the nearestport But ie had to choose between leaving raft or starving. Probably when he abandoned the raft the cap-rain did not have an adequate idea of die terrible dangers which he was leaving in the track of vessels; ha under-ttandsthat better now. Everything con-lected wdh'tho experiment of towing enormous raft to New York was Soo cheap. The owners or the contractus, or whoever is really responsible, arill endeavor to place the responsibility for the loss of the raft npon the of the vessel.

They will say that, he wanted more provisions or supplies ie should have said so. But one familiar with the merchant service mow that if the captain had asked for months' provisions, instead of prov sious for three weeks, he would iave been informed by the owners, or Dlher responsible persons that his suggestion was absurd, and that if he 3ould not go without such an equipment they would- find a captnin who 1 do not doubt that rafts can be successfully towed long distances at sea, but this must be attempted under nrcunislances fferent from those which seem to have existed in this jase."

Sir 364 pages, Narrow Escape. "Aunt Mary, are you aware that 1 am 29?" said Iona Ross, with a pretty frown. "I am my dear and I'm a blunt woman.

Why don' you get married?" asked the old lady, surveying her handsome niece critically through her glasses. "Precisely what I am here for," chirped the other. "I am going to marry Edward Percy. I shall see him to-night, and he must Iewaro" shaking her head coquettislily." "But my dear girl, ho is infatuated with Clara Dunton." Then Clara Dunton must look out, laughed Iona, when looking at hei watch, she discovered it was time tc go and dress. When Miss Ross entered the draw, ingroomshe created a thrill of admiration.

She bowed coolly to Mr. Percj and smiled on the others. Miss Dunton for a reader, lecturer, and woman who advocated woman's rights, was playing a remarkable weak andunreliant role. She was just saying when Iona came in that she got so tired of tire battle of life sometimes; and after Miss Ross's little breezy disturbance Mr. Percy, who was under the spell of the enchantress and thought JLss Dunton about as near perfection as women generally are.

leaned forward and said in aside: "Why not throw your burdens on stronger shoulders, then?" "Alas! I have but little faith in any one's strength." with a soft little fluttering sigli that touched the gentleman's heart, as she meant it should. "Let me teach you faith," he said. Aunt Mary and Mrs. Bridgewater were in deep conversation. lie had almost forgotten Iona, until he casually glanced in her dxection, and met the scornful gaze of her proud, dark eyes, and a look of utter contempt on her face, whether for himself cr his companion he could not telL He made some trivial remark to her.

She answered him calmly aud coldly, and then ho said. "Do. Miss Dunton, favor us with some music," glancing toward the piano. She Lesi Luted a moment, colored faintly, and then said, "Not to-night, thank you." "Mr. Percy was a gentleman, but in some things very peculiar aud straightforward as in it is questions that followed immediately: You do play, don't you, Miss Dunton?" Mrs.

Bridgewater was looking at her. and so she dared not tell an uu truth, and said: "Noi I am sorry to say that I never had much desire to learn." "Indeed! I think music a rare accomplishment." There was visible disappointment in the gentleman's tone, but Aunt Mary, coming to the rescue, said, in her qu et way: "Perhajjs Iona will play for for usl" "Oh, excuse me! I had forgotten that Miss Rose played. Favor us, please." -s Mr. Percy conducted hfir to the piano, where Iona felt that she should reap her first benefit in his eyes. lie was passionately fond of mnsic.

and Miss Ross played aud saug with soul and sp lit You sing beautifully. Miss Ross," he said, when she arose to leave the instrument "Thank you," she replied, quietly. Edward Percy walked home in a very thoughtful mood after he had said good night "Strange. I never noticed what prepossessing gal Iona Ross was before," he thought "She would certainly grace any man's home. But she wouldn't be fool enough to fall in love with me; and.

if she did, she wouldn't grat rm self-love enough to let me know it. However, I began to like the little girl." A few evenings later our friends met at aunt Mary's. Again Iona was importuned to sing and play, this time Edward Percy's rich bass joining in with her clear, sweet soprano. After the music ceased lie seemed so absorbed in Ioua's carelessly independent sayings that Miss Dunton begged leave to read. She read selections well indeed; but she had practised for hours for this very oecasion.

Then she entered into a discussion of their merits with Mr. Percy. In a lull of the conversation, and when the interest had somewhat flagged. Aunt Mary said: reminds me of some poetry I would like you to hear. I will find the pieces." She returned at last with them, Miss Dunton inwardly expecting that she would be the one to rend them.

But Aunt Mary handed them to Iona, saying: Here, Iona, give me your opinion on these."

Of course ho would never care for her, and she should go back without doing what she came here to do. He arose and went over to her side, aying: "Miss Iona, would you gratify my eelf-love enoug to tell me that yon cared for me if you did?" "Now" "But I care for you, my dear, so much that I can't have you go back to your home until you promise not to hate me." "I don't hate you." "But do you love me?" That is what I want to know." "And that you have no right to ask, sir." "I have only the right of a man who loves you, auil would try to make you happy if you would come aud be my wife. Will yon, Iona?" Then Iona Ross broke down and cried, like any woman. As soon as she could, she said, "You will hate me when I tell you what I am going to. That I I meant to make you fall in love with me from the first but I didn't think I should lose my own heart." Have you?" gravely.

"Yes, I have. Do you hate me now?" "No, I do not I love you, and I want you. On the whole, I am rather glad you picked me out for your husband." "But i am not sure that I shall love "Iona returned, starting away from his encircling arms. "I have only been trying to keep vou from Miss Dunton." "But, my dear, I am sure you will have roe.

If allowed to continue tumors form, which often bleed and ulcerate, becoming very sore. Swayne's Ointment stops the itchng and bleeding, heels ulceration, and in many cases removes tbe tumors. It is equally efficacious in curing all Skin Diseases. Dr. 8wayne Son, Proprietors, Philadelphia.

Swavne's Ointment can be procured of druggists. 'Sent by mail for 50 Cents. The Ceiiiurts article on "Ranch Life In the Far West," which will begin in the February number, are not only written, but Illustrated also, by experts. Theodore Roosevelt has experienced all he writes about in the "great grazing lands," and Frederic Remington, the artist, has led the life of a cowboy for yean on the Western plains. Among Remington's illustrations in the first number are a full-page picture of an attack upon a company of cowboys by the Indians, ''A Row in a Cattle Town," "Cowboy Fun." "Pulling a Cow out of the Mud," and another full -page picture ol "Bronco Busters Saddling." "Ring out the old ring in the new!" baa no reference to medicines.

The numerous novelties in that line which have only an ephemeral existence are scarcely worthy to be mentioned in tbe same category as that old reliable remedy known as Coussens' Honey of Tar, which our grandfathers used wlien tbe be? and plrls h.id coughs, colds and diseases of the throat and lungs. One of the best things in the Departments ot Harper's Magazine for February Is Mr. Charles Dudley Warner's column or so on "The Condescension to Literature and the Stage," which is one of the exasperating characteristics ot "society" in these days. There Is point in every line, and truth in every word. It is the fashion to-day to write books (for fame) or to act weu, both for admiration and money let us say.

Followers of these fads are disposed of by Mr. Warner in a way that wiil give solid satisfaction to he plain people, who all read Harper. w. LBTTLE LBVER FILLS. BEWAKE OF I3HTATIOXS I Always ask for Dr.
