A WOMAN's NERVES.
THE STORY OF A WOMAN TO
WHOM NOISE WAS
TORTURE.
Prsstratsd BY the Least Excitsmsnt-
Physicians Bamsd ny Her Case

From the Gate City, Keokuk, Iowa.
Mrs Helen Meyers, whose home is at a5lo
Vernon avenue. Chicago, and whose visit to
Keokuk Ia, will long be remembered, was
at one time afflicted with q nervous malady
which at times drove her nearly to distract
ton. ..Those terrible headaches are .
thing of the past" she said the other day
to Gate City representative, land there
is quite a story in connection with 1t, TOO.
..My nervous system sustained great shock
some fifteen years ago, brought on, believe,
through too much worrying over family
matters and then allowing my love Tor my
books to get the better OF my discretion
where my health was concerned: why,
whenever my affairs at home did not 90
along lust as / expected, would invariably
become Frustrated from the excitement and
l would consider myself fortunate indeed II
the effects of the attack would not remain
for n week. | was obliged TO give up our
pleasant home not far from the Lake shore
drive because i could not stand the noise
in that locality. i could find no place In the
city which l deemed suitable TO one whose
nervous system was always on the point OF
explosion. To add to my misfortunes my
complexion underwent a change and looked
so yellow and sallow that l was ashamed
to venture from the house at all.
=" Madam said my doctor to me soon
after an unusually severe attack OF the
malady, unless you leave the city and seek
some place of quiet, you will never recover
So concluded would visit my uncle, who
lives in Dallas county, Iowa, and whose
farm would surely be good place for one
in my pitiable condition. l picked up the
Gate City one day and happened to come
across an interesting recital of the recovery
of some woman in New York state who was
afflicted as l had been. This woman had
been cured by DIR. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People l thought that if Pink Pills
cured that woman trey might do the same
for me. began to take the pills according
to directions and began to feel better from
the start After had taken several boxes
of them was ready to go back to Chicago
NV nervousness was gone and my complex
ion was as fresh as that of any 16-year-old
girl in Iowa, and Pink Pills is what put the
color in my cheeks. No wonder l am in
such high spirits and feel like prize
fighter And no wonder l like to come x
Keokuk, for if it had not been for Pink PILL
bought from a Keokuk firm l would moi
be alive now," laughingly concluded the
lady.

elements necessary to give new life and

Po.t.bl. Electric Pump.


Dana Greene, in addressing the I'm
stitute Of Naval Architects and En-
gineers recently, said that, had cleo
trio motors been in use on board the
great English man-of-war Victoria, to
close her water-tght doors, she would
have been saved when rammed by her
sister ship It took a trained crew
three minutes, under normal conditions.
to close them; with motors less than
sixty seconds would have sufhceo. mr.
Greene also stated that on the ttnef
big Britisher, Benhow, the hydrauho
machinery had been disabled by nost-
an unsuspected point of danger-end
that electric motors were recommend
ed. On board of the United states
men-of-war the new departure is al
ready being taken, and motors are ad-
yantageously used for drills. pumps,
ventilation, operating machine shops,
d sck hoists, shot whips, ETC., and they
are coming into use for operating tne
valve of the steam steering engine,
closing doors of water-tight compart-
ments automatically, running ice ma
chinery and other many functions. The
device is q portable electric pump,
which can be set down anywhere and
started to work Instantly, The little
motor is well incased, and can be used
In any position, whether to bring a
stream on board or to empty flooded
compartment. Mr.. Greene says ID
general, that, aside from the desra
bility of the motor as handy and con
yenient appliance, 1t Is vast improve
ment to have the small electric wires
| in place Of the mass Of steam ana
hydraulic pipes that hitherto nave
ramified ali over modern war vessels
and often have inflicted discomfort
and disaster.

Photographic by Electricity.


The Importance Of artificial light in
photography has kept pace with the i'm.
proyement of the standard demanded
In the work Of the best photographers.
In the early days Of the use Of the
electric light in Photographic studios,
the darkness of the shadows was
source of dismay to the operator. Van
der Weyde devised a refractor Of ala
baster, on which the light was thrown.
The refractory rays were collected on
reflector and by it thrown on the
sitter. The shadows were thus softened
and brilliant and artistic picture was
secured.
Since then many features have been
introduced for augmenting the fedbil-
ity and effectiveness ol the electric
light in photography. OF these the
latest is an incandescent system, con-
sisting of a round hoop, four feet in
diameter, on the inside Of which are
ranged forty twenty-five candle-poweF
lamps, backed up by dome OF whte
silk. This Is affixed to a beam guS-
pended from the ceiling, SO that 1t can
be removed to any part Of the studio NJ
will. A regulator Is SO connected az TO
be under the control of the operator,
who can instantly turn on two, four.
six, or any number Of lamps while
focusing. Afterward the remainder of
the lamps are slowly turned on, until
the whole forty are burning at full
candle-power.
1t is claimed that by this gradual In
crease in the lighting power the sitter
| Is neither startled nor inconvenienced
by the strong light that Is being used
during the exposure. Many photogra,
pliers now say that they would rather
take a picture by the electric light than
by daylight, and the electric lamp ID
found specially useful in charging

s.-. Feature. .s a.lc..

n. n. Cur.iA. In describing the work
ing Of the ''bridled" thermometer. says
the greatest force of an individual gust
which he has met with was registered
In December, 1891. and amounted to a
rate Of III miles per hour. which. with
the old factor would be equivalent to
. rate Of about 100 miles per hour. A
speed of from 90 to 100 miles an hour
has often been recorded, but tho usual
limit for gusts may be taken to equal
about eighty miles an hour, which, on
the old scale, would be equivalent TO
about 120 miles an hour. Gales and
strong winds differ very much In char
acter, and Mr.. Curtis has been able to
group them into three classes. Some
gales are essentially sQually in charac-
ter, and in them the gusts constitute
the main feature of the air motion. In
an average gale the ordinary gusts FOL
ow each other at intervals OF about
ten to twenty seconds, while the heav-
Ter gusts occur at the rate OF about one
per minute. In another class Of gales
the velocity of the wind is tolerably
steady, In the third class are gales
which appear to be made up OF two
series of rapidly succeeding squalls
the one series travelling at a compare
lively low rate Of velocity, the other at
\ much higher one. the wind force
shifting rapidly and very frequently
from one series to the other. A char
acteristic of certain gales is prolonged
pulsation in the wind force, recurring
over an extended period with more or
less regularity every twenty minutes
or half an hour. In other cases the IN
tervuI of recurrence would be about an
hour, more or less.

They had just been introduced, but
they were getting on famously when

of the young man that Effie tells such
q funny story about-she never would

made reputation for wit and dare
not even ask for the salt without
making an epigram about it."
..Kind of fellow who always
makes you feel as If the footlights are
between you, eh?" .--
Exactly. Effie and two or three
other girls were visiting friend in
Evanston last month, and this young
man proceeded to make himself agree

thing to do, either, for he was sole
possessor of horse and buggy"

"Yes. But, you see, he couldn't

who drove out Sheridan drive and
kept wanting to know where Mr..
Sheridan lived. But when she got
home she told all tho girls, and they
compared notes and nearly died OF
laughing. Why, there is Effie herself
now. I'll introduce you, she is such q

But Effie walked up to him with out

There is more Catarrh in this section of

disease and prescribed local remedies, and
by constantly failing to cure with local
treatment, pronounced it incurable. Sci

tional disease. and therefore requires con-
stitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh

A TerrIble VIsltant.

Pain is always terrible visitant, and often
domiciles itself with one for life. This tnfic-
ton Is preventable, In cases Of rheumatism, by
Q timely resort to Hostetterss Stomach Bitters,
yhich checks the encroachments Of this obsti-
nate and dangerous malady ut the outset. Tho
term dangerous" is used advisedly, for Hheu-
matism is always liable TO attack the vital
organs and terminate life. No testimony is
more conclusive and concurrent than that OF
physicians who testify to the excellent effect Of
the Bitters in this disease Persons incur Q
wetting in rainy or snowy weather, and who are
exposed to drauRhts, should use the Bitters as
a preventive of i'll effects. Malaria, dyspepsia,
liver and kidney trouble, nervousness and
debility are also among the ailments to which
this popular medicine is adapted For tho in
drmities soreness and stiffness Of tho aged 1t u
