A TeIegraph 20 the Brain

From the stomach is the great sympa-
thetic nerve in the eplgastrium. Let di-
gestiop become seriously disordered, and
that disorder is sure to find reflection in
symptoms which react dissdvantageously
upon the organ of thought Insomnia,
anxiety, are all manifestations of dys-
pepia. The best means of remdying and
restoring tranquility to brain and stom-
sch, and of regulating, it may be added,
bilious secretion, is to take wineglassful
of Hostteter's Stomach Bitters before
meals during the dey and before retiring.
This course, begun, reform in the direct
ion of complete bodily well-being has be-
gun with 1t. Constipation, SIGH headache
neuralgia, rheumatism, and malarial
complaints are among the troubles in
which the Bitters is speedily and thor
oughly beneficial. Don't delay, but take
the sure course at once. l2-9-6t

The MAN Had che cam.

A man with a market basket on his arm
was slowly toiling up the incline of the
Brooklyn Bridge the other day when his
attention was attracted to q boy on the
roof of a building about 200 feet away. As
soon as the man stopped the boy began
initiating his walk, which was rendered
ungraceful by n lame leg. Owing to the
confusion it was impossible to hear what
each said, but the man with the basket
seemed to exclaim:
eff only had my hands on you I'd make
you sing different tune in about min
ute!'
And the boy seemed to reply:
"Come, now, old chap, but don't get
husky over bit of fun"
The man on the bridge was taken with a
sudden fit of coughing. The boy followed
suit. The man shook his fist in the direction
of the roof. The boy shook his in the direc-
ton of the bridge. Then the man seemed
to be saying:
"Ahl you young wretch, you are tread
ing the path to the gallows"
The boy gestured with his right hand in
imitation and seemed to reply:
'If was as crusty as you are I'd have
been hung long ago"
Then he put his thumb on his nose and
twirled his fingers in a spirited manner,
and it looked as if he would come out a
winner. Indeed, the man had started on
when he suddenly stopped, sat down his
basket, and after feeling for half n minute
he brought out hens egg. 1t was a
large, solid looking specimen of what an
American hen can do, and the man spat on
the palm of his right hand.
The boy initiated him. Then the man
drew back his right arm. The boy also inl-
itated that maneuver. With raise on his
toes and n suppressed chap, the man let
fly, and three or four seconds later the egg
struck tho boy on that part of the anatomy
vulgularly referred TO as the dread
basket" He doubled up and then went to
grass, and as the man lifted his basket and
passed on nobody nor nothing had any
more remarks to make.-New York Sun.

How the Alhambra Was Saved.

This is how the alarm was raised of the
fire in the ALEXANDRIA of Granada. At 1890
at night picador was standing at o win
dow, and as he gazed upward at the old
Moorish palace looming out in the dark
ness on the brow of the heights he noticed
a strange glare, then smoke. He shouted
to his companions, FLAMES and smoke
are issuing from the Alhambra." They
dashed into the streets and raised an
alarm. Some rushed to the telephone to
advise the civil governor, the police, the
garrison and he firemen. Soon the church
bells began to sound the "tocsin."
Southern Spaniards turn night into day
in the hot summer months, and but few
inhabitants had retired. A crowd gather
ed, gesticulating and lamenting with
Andalusisn impetuOsity. Thousands fol-
lowed the police, troops and firemen to the
winding steep street that leads to the outer
Enclosure of the Alhambra. The first were
the mayor, the civil governor, priests and
a few citizens eager to volunteer assist
ance. They were joined by the foreign and
native visitors from the Siete Suclos and
Washington irving hotels, situated haH
way up the hill. D.. ,.,c.. ....
In his house, not fifty yards from his
burning charge, the ''conseyador," or di-
rector of the Alhambra, Senior Contreras,
happened to be unsuspectingly entertain
ing friends. At the Alhambra a sleepy
porter opened the gates and was perfectly
amazed to hear that the place was on fire
in his rear. 1t seems that there was no
night watch, no preparations of any kind
to combat fire, no hose, no fire engine.
Perhaps those who saw the spectacle to
greatest advantage were the gypsies on the
Albsicin hill opposite, who sailed from
their caves and novels. The gypsieS were
as anxious as the crowds in the Granada
below for the safety of their jewels, La
Yoya de Granada" to use their graphic
and enthusiastic expression Not few
vows and prayers were made to ''Maria
Santissima" and all the saints of the Cath
Ollie calendar in that dread night in the
city of BOabdil.--London News.

BUYING Christmas Goods.

The season is now at hand for buying
Christmas goods 1t 10 bad plan to put
off such purchases until day or two be
fore Christmas Then the stores are
crowded-the goods cannot be shown to
as great advantage-nor can you take
the time to buy as judiciously. Two
things we would urge upon the readers
of the CAPITAL, especially in these hard
times: First, buy now. Second, buy at
home. The reasons above given are suf-
ficient for the first For the second, we
have this to say: II you do not patrouize
your own home stores you win not car
~ out that sublime Christian axiom OF
doing as you would be done by. You
may not, of course, be able to buy some
Of the more costly fabrics or toys in the
local town or village, but nearly eve
~ grade and kind of goods-especially
Christmas fixings-may be had Is good
and as cheap as in the city Every dol
lar you spend ct home helps your own
local community, and the advantage re-
turns to you in many ways. How can
the farmer and trucker expect to secure
a home market for his products when he
goes of to the city for every little thing
he needss Build up your local towns and
villages and they will increase the value
Of your lands and everything you grow.
Sometimes the people living in eur
towns and villages 60 away from stores
ss their very doors-kept by their neigh
bors and friends, whom they professsdly
desire to succeed-snd patronize
strangers in city stores. This, too,
when they can get the very same goods
at just the same price at home. This
should not be so. and we hope our read
ers win be more thoughtful than ever on
shin point now that every cent spant at
home Is direct lift over the stress Of
the present hard times.
