Good Business Feeling.

In both Boston and New York circles
there is decidedly improved state of
feeling in I'll that relates to money and
business. The well-informed financial
circles believe that the prophecicd
good.time coming has finally come.
The serious distractions TO trade which
were caused for more than two months
by close money market have at length
besn removed; and, with the demand
for all kinds OF products SO large and
steady general prosperity is as sure as
any thing that is already in sight. The
bank statements are greatly improved,
too, which gives much strength to the
situation. The money currents are
setting strongly toward the great
money center Of the country, which is
New York; and that means the return
Of the circulation 10 lis regular chaE-
nels, all the consequent restoration OF
perfect health.
Investors are again coming forward
TO make legitimate, rather than specu-
Iative investments, and this is having
its due effect upon the market. The
crops are yet to be largely forwarded to
market by rail. The banks are buying
freely Of Government bonds, which
has q decided effect in making the
money market easy. All these things
mean larger prosperity in all branches
of business and industry. We may
come short in somo things, as in corn
but that is only u comparative fact,
Wheat will suffice US, besides having
enough for export demands. at bette,
prices than last year. Prices may ad
vance, bat checked sales will soon cor
rect that. We.see only a prosperous
career before us, and people prepared
to take advantage OF its opportunities.

A Nurses Presence of Mind.

A correspondent of the Boston Tran.
script tells of nurse who lately showed
rare nerve and GOODNESS in very trying
circumstances. At the time of the ter
rible explosion st the torpedo station,
in o room overlooking the experiment.
ers,were three persons--a baby two days
old, young mother, very i'll. and a
nurse. The nurse sat at the window,
looking ont and watching also the in
valid, whose eyes were fixed upon her.
That nurse suddenly saw two men shot
up into the air more than sixty feet,
Just before her eyes, and not muscle
of her face stirred, not asound escaped
her, though she saw these men torn
limb from limb. To the invalid's in
quiry about the noise, she carelessly
replied. eft was only torpedo ex-
plosion. and big one probably, as il
made such noise" The sick woman,
whose husband WAS with the victims,
without doubt owes her life to this
brave woman, with such wonderful
presence of mind. But as yet she knows
nothing of the terrible calamity that
widowed another young mother.

Indian Bow and Arrows.

arrows are nasty things. The barb is

"Dsar sakes! what ugly wounds l

Hurled Dinners.

It is a mistake TO eat QUICKLY. Mas
tication performed in haste must DO
imperfect even with the best of teeth,
and due admixture OF the salivary Sc
cretion with the food cannot take place.
When a crude mass Of inadequately
crushed muscular fiber, or undivided
solid material of any description, is
thrown into the stomach, it acts as
mechanical irritant, and sets up con-
dition in the mucous membrane lining
that organ which greatly impedes. if it
does not altogether prevent, the process
of digestion. When the practice of
eating quickly and filling the stomach
with unprepared food is habitusl, the
digestive organ is rendered incapable
of performing its proper functions.
Either much larger quantity of food
than would be necessary under natural
conditions is required, or the system
suffers from tho lack of nourishment.
Thoee animals which were intended to
feed hurriedly were either gifted with
the power of rumination or provided
with gizzsrds. Man is not so furnished,
and it is fair to assume that he was in.
tended TO eat slowly.
The eagerness to secure good divi.
dends takes particularly mischievous
form when it piles food on the plate of
q customer, and compels him to con-
sumo it breathleasly. The matter may
seem Q small one. but it is not so. Just
Is a man may go on for years with
defective teeth, imperfectly masticating
his food. and wondering why he suffers
from indigestion, so a man May habitu-
ally live under an infliction Of hurried
dinners. and endure the consequent
loss of health, without knowing why
he is not we'll. or how easily the GAUGE
Of his illness might be remedied.

Can rheumatism be Cured ?

II is belief with many that there is no
disease with which the human body may he
afflicted bur what has its antidOie, and in g, |
ages and am.ng all people diligent search
has been III 4dc in Natures Laboratory for the
special ingredients and applications 10 cure
bodily ailments, and impart tone and yigOr
to the human system. o. sill the ills that
flesh is heir to there is probably nothing in
the list Of character more annoying 10 the
patient than Rheumatism.
The discovery .! Brodie's Rheumatic and
Neuralgia Cure, which has had repeated
trials with inysrGbie success, warrants the
belief that Natures secret has at last been
revealed and that in future Rheumatism and
Neuralgia will bear no terror, and be classed
among diseases of cure.
This cure is the result of many years close
study OF Rheumatic diseases on the human
system and innumerable experiments to find
out remedy. Like almost every other dis
ease with which the human body is afflicted,
physicians are not in sccord regarding the
method Of treatment, the prescriptions in
many instances being at opposite extremes
As an immediate relief and permanent
cure of Rheumatism, Neuralgia, Lumbago,
Gout, Weak, Stiff and Swollen Joints, Con
tracted Muscles, Pains In the Side or Back,
Sprains, Bruises or any Of the diseases con-
tracted by exposure, il Is conGdenhally rec
commended as being without rival in the
