TERRIBLE EXPLOSION!
Too High Pressure.

In these days Of keen competition in every
line, when the business man is compelled to
bend his intellect and every energy to the
success of his business; the clerk, book
keeper, professional man and laborer, to
drive themselves at terrific rate there can
be but one result-an explosion, which, if
not resulting in immediate death, leaves
them with shattered brains and bodies.
They are running at too high pressure.
The strain is too great. Something must
and does give way. This is equally true Of
women. Though their sphere is more
limited, they have their daily burdens, frets,
and worries, and the results are the same as
with their stronger companions.
This condition is growing worse every
day. The rapidity of its increase is awful
to contemplate. Our homes, hospitals, and
insane asylums are full of these unfortunates,
and are being crowded still further. There
is but one solution of the matter. Recog-
nize the Importance of the situation at once,
and take the necessary measures to over
come it. If you have failing memory, hot
flashes, dizziness, nervous or sick headache,
biliousness, irritability, melancholy, Sleep
lessness, fainting, nervous dyspepsia, cpl
iepsy, ETC., know that any one of them is but
a symptom of the calamity that may befall
YOU, and even though you have used So
called remedies and treated with reputable
physicians with little or no benefit, give DR..
Miles Restorative Nervine trial. II is
the only remedy that may be depended
upon for nervous disorders.

Nelson MORRIS who controls the
largest export trade in cattle and
beef products from Chicago, said the
other day regarding the embargo on
American cattle: "Ihree months ago
had proposition from the French
Minister of agriculture offering to
continue to receive our cattle il the
United States would take off the diff
ferential duty on sugar. | was asked
to bring this before the government
here. l went myself to Washington,
but the government paid no attention
whatever. The agreement l had
with the French government was to
expire March l. see they have al
ready terminated it in view Of the
impossibility of accomplishing any
thing more.
"There is no truth whatever in any
of the talk about improper condition
of the cattle shipped. There has not
been one animal rejected within three
years by any foreign country on the
ground of ill health; not since 1892
when the Rusk agreement went into
effect. France has not even ques'
toned any, nor Germany, up to six
weeks ago when it refused one small
shipment of Texas cattle on the false
pretense Of Texas fever. Not since
1892 has it rejected a pork product.
"The prohibitions now maintained
do not include Canadian products, A
week ago last Saturday arbitrary and
excessive duties were laid by Ger.
many and Austria, covering all the
canned goods manufactured outside
these countries. These duties have
not yet been made public France

in the recent expression of opinion

Whore Jerry,s Salary Goes.

Jerry Simpson, M. G., in Baltl-
more interview said in reply to ques-
ton whether he found his $4,000 sal
airy enough to support him: "Oh,
the newspapers say all sorts of things
about me- OF course a congressman
can live on $1,000 year, but 1t is as
much as he can do to make both ends
meet. My expenses of living in
Washington are not SO great All
the cost of maintaining myself and
family there does not exceed Sl0O a
month. But, then, there are SO many
other expenses that congressman
has. Think of the expenses OF cam
palgn. There are enormous travel
ling expenses to get around all Of the
thirty-seyen counties in my district,
and the cost of holding meetings
must be paid. Then there are, in
that district, quite number of popu-
list newspapers, and, when campaign
comes on, those fellows do not hest
tate to come down on their party can
didate like lot of hawks, and $50 or
$500 apiece has to be handed out.
They are doing educational work and
have to be supported" In answer to
question regarding the probable
future of the peoples party, Mr.
Simpson said: Il cannot say that l
consider the peoples party. as it is
now constituted, likely to become the
party of the country, but [ do think
it forms nucleous from which will
ultimately grow party which will
supplant one or the other Of the old
parties"

SANITARY CONSIDERATIONS.
Good Ventilation Means Not Only Air From
the Outside, but Pure Air.

Effectual ventilation of rooms can easily
be arranged. Fresh air can enter by the
window and the impure air escape through
the chimney. If it be objected that an
open window is drafty, the current of ali
can be directed upward by very simple
device. The lower window sash is raised
and the open space below filed in with a
board three inches wide fitting the Win
dow frame accurately The current of air
enters between the two sashcs, and a draft
is avoided. Vcntilating tubes are based
upon this principle OF course an outlet
for foul air must be provided, and it is easy
to make an opening into the upper part of
the chimney breast. If in the morning
the windows be opened widcly-top and
bottom-so as to admit air and sunshine
freely, great Improvement in sleep and
in general health will be experienced by
those who slept in the previously scaled
bedroom. Children are particularly sus-
ceptible to the influence of impure air, and
therefore especial care should be taken to
protect them from it. Schoolrooms are of
ten badly ventilated, and consequently the
children suffer in health and in temper
Much of the headache and listlessness pop
ularly ascribed to ovcrpressurc is really due
to insufficient oxygen.
One thing must not be forgotten. We
must get pure air to start with from out
side Very often the air as it enters is i'm
pure owing to faulty drains or ash pits full
OF dccomposing matters, or the house may
be built ON that abomination known as
made soil-that is to say, over hollow
filled up with a soil made up of all sorts of
town refuse. Foul gases are generated,
which enter the house and take disease
with them. Much care onght, therefore.
to be taken to select house which shall
be free from the dangers of insanitary sur
roundings. If, in addition, plenty of air
and light are constantly admitted, much
will have been done to secure long life, TO-
bust health and happiness, writes family
doctor in Cassell's Magazine.

GOES TO THE Jury.
Ducber Watch Case Co.'S. Suit Against the
Watch Trust Nearly Over.

New York, April 23.--The case of the
Dueber Watch Case Co, against the large
watch manufacturers of the country lately
members of the so-called watch trust, in
which the plaintiff asks for $500, 0oC
damages for conspiracy on the part of the
members OF the trust, who, it claims,
ruined its business, finally went to the
jury, this afternoon.
Judge McLennan, in his address to the
jury, called attention to the fact that there
could be n recovery only If tho manufac-
turers used threats in keeping the jobbers
from buying from Dueber, and there could
b. no recovery if tho jobbers had elected
to stay with the association aud voluntarily
refused to sell goods to Dueber, after be
ing expelled from the association.
Ho told the jury to draw the line and tt
see how far the deft ndants stepped over thu
bounds of legality, if they did at all, OF
whether they ftayed on the side Of righ'
and were within the law.
The jury had not agreed up to 30
and sealed verdict was ordered.
