county.
THE maximum speed which French

this is uncommon.
THE locomotive engine is said to have
maximum life of about thirty years.
The annual cost of repairs is from ten
to fifteen per cent. of its first cost.

Cracked Silver Coma

The stamping machines at the gov
eminent mints embodying as they do
all the best inventions obtainable, vet
do not do their work with absolute per-
lection in every instance. Occasionally
a silver dollar is turned out with a
trifling defect, and then the coin gener-
ally causes more trouble, many times
over, than it is worth. This imperf c.
ton is slight crack in the edge of the
coin, which is likely to escape the no
tice of any ordinary scrutiny, but like
the rift in the Lutte Of which the poet
sings, it makes the dollars music mute.
The commonest way to test silver
coin to find out whether it is counter
felt or not is to drop it on table or
counter. If it has clear ring it is sup
posed to be good. As a matter of fact,
some counterfeit coins now current,
which are made of antimony and tin,
have sound almost identical with that
of real silver dollar. What makes this
test still more uncertain is the fact that
a real silver dollar with the little rift
sounds as if it were lead when dropped.
The opening destroys its jingle just as
a crack ruins the righteousness of q
bell.--N Y. Tribune.

DILATATION OF THE STOMACH.

The Cause and Remedy of This Dangerous
Condition.
There are two forms of dilatation of
the stomach: latent dilatation and what
might be called positive dilatation. In
positive dilatation the stomach is actu-
ally increased sometimes to nearly
double it's normal size. In case of
this kind the stomach can never return
to its normal condition. The food ac-
cumulates in the pocket or pockets and
is gotten out only with great difficulty,
and so goes on fermenting and decaying
until nature can stand it no longer and
sets up a general house cleaning by
which the contents are forcibly elected.
In latent dilatation, which is the more
common form, the stomach is of normal
size, or at least not very much enlarged.
But instead of contracting down to it's
normal size when empty. it remains of
the same size as when full. This is the
state in a majority of cases of those who
are suffering from intestinal dyspepsia
the matter with their stomachs, that
they can eat anything. They never
have any pain or discomfort in their
stomachs. but they have one-sided head
aches. They have foul coat on the
back part Of the tongue, although the
front part may be apparently clean.
This is an atomic condition of the stom-
ach. The muscles of the walls are feeble
and they are unable to contract enough
to empty it thoroughly. Cases of latent
dilatation are always curable The
stomach needs to be toned up. For this
purpose electricity is excellent, and the
more effective way is to apply the cur
rent inside the stomach through an
electrode inserted in rubber stomach
tube. All the remedies which are di-
rected to relieving the nervous systems,
the various kinds of headaches, ETC., are
of no possible avail as they do not touch
the root of the matter. The diet must
alone be carefully observed.
1t is the decomposition of food in di-
lated stomachs which give rise to three
fourths of the cases of rheumatism and
the same with Bright's disease. The
poisons thus generated come upon the
liver and kidneys to expel from the body
and these organs are overworked. The
kidneys are first irritated and then if
this is prolonged, some sudden cold may
precipitate an inflammation and most Sc
rious damage result. Much of spinal ir-
ritation is due to the reflex action set
up through the nerve centers which are
so intimately connected with the digest
i've functions.-Dr. j. H. Kellogg.
