We SO often have to care for nervous
persons that it is well to know the sort
of food best adapted to them. This,
with systematic exercise and recreation,
will often produce results beyond our
most sanguine hopes. In taking exercise
care must be taken not to fatigue the
patient, and there must be an object in
the exercise. 1t will not do to send
the sufferer Just out for a walk" the
walk must be for a purpose; to call on t
pleasant friend, for example, or to per-
form some slight office, such as carrying
flowers or books to the sick, or to pur-
chase some little article needed which re-
quires no great outlay of thought. For
food there should be given meat in small
quantities, plenty of fish, especially shell
fish, as much bread and butter as may
be desired, creamed or mashed potatoes
and simple buildings.
Fruit should play al important part in
the dietary, and should be eaten before
breakfast. Baked apples, oranges, and
thoroughly ripe pears are always rel
ished at this time. Cocoa should be
used as a beverage instead of tea or cof-
fee, although n cup of tea at A o'clock
can be borne by persons to whom it
would be injurious at any other time. If
milk be liked and be digested easily, it
may be freely used. My physicians or
der it cooked. 1t will usually be found
that soups are not conducive, and beer
and spirits should be avoided.-New
York Commercial Advertiser.

The traveller discovers hat wherever

warmest friendship are entertained to-

these feelings is to be found in the fact
that when the young republic was strug-

many Englishmen served her with as
much ardor as they would have served
their native country.
The upper classes of Chill initiate the
English aristocracy. Like them, they

THE O W OF NEWSPAPERS.

A Few Items OF Interest Cleaned from
tho Pages of the Directories.
The wonderful growth of American
newspapers is shown by a comparison
between the directories published in 1776
and in the present year. The one con-
tains in its sixteen small pages a list of
thirty-seveD newspapers which were pub
lshed in this country 40 years ago. The
other is almost MS large as an unabridged
dictionary, and in its 1000 pages on-
tains the names of IA, 100 newspapers
and periodicals of all classes. OF this
large list, only seven were found in the
directory of 1910. The net gain of the
year has been 066. The daily newspa-
pers number 1916, a gain of 80. There
are about 200 periodicals Of all kinds
which presumably enjoy n circulation Of
more than 1000 copies.
The increase in the rural weekly press,
comprising about two-thirds of the whole
list, has been most marked in states like
Kansas and Nebraska. Kansas is also
accredited with the greatest gain in
daily newspapers. In Massachusetts the
weekly press is growing. but magazines
and monthly publications are losing
ground. The tendency of this latter
class seems to be toward New York city,
as at least twenty-three monthly PERIOD
icals have been established here during
the year.
Among the many newspapers published
in this country, almost every social
movement and industrial interest finds
expression. A glance at the long list re-
veals many curious facts. There are
about 700 religious and UNCONVENTIONAL
newspapers, nearly one-third of which
are published in New York, Philadelphia,
Boston and Chicago. New York is far
ahead in this respect, while il will be a
surprise to many to know that Boston is
behind Chicago.
Three newspapers are devoted TO the
silkworm; six to the honey bee; thirty
two to poultry; eighteen to dentistry;
and nine to photography. There are
three publications issued in the exclusive
interest of postage stamp collectors, and
one OF dancers. The prohibitionists have
129 papers, and the liquor dealers 8. The
organs OF women's suffrage number Z,
of candy makers o., of ~gastronomy 3,
and gas .. OF the foreign newspapers,
there are about 900 in German, and AZ in
French. New York, New Orleans, and
Worcester. Mass. each has four French
publications. Two dailies are in Bohe-
milan. Besides these, there are papers in
the Swedish, Finnish, Polish, and Welsh
languages. There is publication in
Gaelic, one in Hebrew, one in Chinese,
and one in the Cherokee language

Kaleidoscope are made to sell at from
8 cents to So each, the latter (made in
Providence r. L. being used a great
deal by carpet designers and for like pur-
poses. In a factory in New York a re-
porter found five girls at work before a
long desk, this being their system of OPP
e%rations: The first young woman wraps
black paper about the glass refiectors
which produce the optical illusion. These
strips of glass, when thus arranged and
fastened together, form the body of the
kaleidoscope. The next girl simply in
serts the united refectors into the paste
board cover and her passes the octa-
gonal pasteboard tube to her neighbor.
Number three adjusts the brass ring
which secures the glass disks in the end.
Between the disks or plates are placed
the scraps of colored glass, the beads
and various trinkets which tumble about
as the Kaleidoscope is revolvsd, and when
reflected by the mirrors form themselves
into ever-shifting, fantastic forms. The
other young women are armed with
hammers to break the colored glass into
fragments. The colored glass is obtained
from the waste scraps, purchased very
cheap at stained glass manufactures

GERONIMO is reported to be out of am
munition, without horses, and suffering
from want of food. In this reduced con-
dition he desires to surrender, and it is
believed that he has offered to give him
self up on conditions which the Herald
correspondent who u the reportis
unable to learn. though he writes that the
general will not hesitate to grant Geron-
limo whatever terms he may demand, as
AL he wants is to get the big chief in his
clutches so that he may never have an
opportunity to go on the warpath arain.
But if terms are granted, faith must be
kept even with Apaches who deserve con-
dign punishment. Gen. Miles. however,
probably knows what he is about.

Several years ago l asked Roger A.
Pryor, who had been a ~fire-eater in con-
gress before the war, what difference he
saw between the practice and knowledge
of law in the north and in the south. He
had moved to New York and was a COM
petitor of northern lawyers. He replied
that they read more law in the south in
little country offices than the big law
yers in the large cities did, but, said he:
IN this northern region they have a
very extraordinary power to assemble
facts and ovcrwhelm with evidence in
order to carry their cases. They do not
argue upon the law points, but beat you
with their witnesses and their facts

AT THE recent term Of district court for
Fremont county, Judge Corn is reported
to have ruled that the territorial courts
have no criminal jurisdiction over an In
dian reservation, so far as indicting or
trying parties accused Of crime committed
within the reserved tract. The point
came up in a case of grand larceny, a
crime punishable by territorial Law. What
ever the strictly legal construction of
statute and treaty may be. territorial
courts certainly ought to have jurisdiction
in such cases; otherwise reservations
would speedily become sanctuarics for
criminals of all kinds.
