There is no better preventive Of nerv.
u exhaustion than regular, unhurried,
muscular exercise. If we could moder-
ate our hurry, lessen our worry and in
crease our open air exercise, a large
proportion of nervous diseases would be
abolished. For those who cannot get q
sufficient holiday the best substitute is
an occasional day in bed. Many whose
nerves are constantly strained in their
daily avocation have discovered this for
themselves. A Spanish merchant in
Barcelona told his doctor that he always
went to bed for two or three days when
ever he could be spared from his bust
ness, and he laughed at those who spent
their holidays on toilsome mountains.
A hard worked woman, who has for
many years conducted a large wholesale
business, retains excellent nerves at an
advanced age, owing, it is believed. to
her habit Of taking n day a week in
bed. If we cannot avoid frequent agita-
ton, we ought. if possible, to give the
nervous system time to recover itself be-
tween the shocks. Even an hours seclu-
sion after u good lunch will deprive a
hurried. anxious day Of much Of its in.
jury. The nerves car often be overcome
by stratagem when they refuse to be
controlled by strength Of will.-House-
wife.

AS 10 MINING EXCHANGES.

Mining exchanges as conducted in
the eastern cities have come to be look
ed upon with suspicion. says the Sun
Leader. They have, as a fact, too often
fell into disrepute through the machina-
tons Of CONSCIOUSNESS manipulators. In
consequence the mining exchange has
become synonymous with chicanery the
mining exchanges in the western cities
have gained malordous regulations
through curbstone operators, who gain
admission to exchanges and do not fail
to disclose evidence Of their methods.
For fear it will hurt the exchange,
the reputable members. who are fore,
warned and keep aloof from them these
tricksters are allowed to retain their
memberships. This is just what the
tricksters desire. They do not want the
trade of the legitimate stock dealers
and with the cloak of responsibility
furnished by the better element they
rake the chestnuts from the fire with
the other fellows fingers and catch
suckers ad libitum.

Tho Llfc of Clam,

The CLAIMS body is completely en-
shrouded in the mantle, except for two
openings, through one Of which the foot
oan be pushed out. The other is for the
siphon. or what is commonly known as
the ''neck" of the clam. In some re-
spects the clam may be better of than
we are. for he has a little brain in his
foot and also a gland for secreting
strong fbcrs. With this he spins a bys-
sus by which he can attach himself to
whatever he likes. He does not even
have to search for his food, but waits
for it to come to him. He makes a bur.
row in the mud OF sand, attaching him
self to the bottom by the byssus. Then
he thrusts his siphon up through the
mud and water until it reaches the sur
face. The siphon is MAIDS up Of two
tubes, the water flowing in through one
and out through the other.
When the inflowing current, laden
with minute plants and animals, reach
es the gill chamber, some Of these are
sifted out and retained for food, while
the water and waste matter flow ont
through the other tube. -Margaret W.
Leighton in Popular Science Monthly.

The Louisville Courier-Journal
thinks that Bryan was fairly beaten in

1t certainly looks that way. Fraud also,

Instead of designating these associa-
suggestive of stock manipulations
where in fact there is no call board or

A Serious Assault.

About o'clock yesterday there was
serious assault committed in a vacant
house, No. 119 Kentucky avenue, the VIC
tim being painter named William Taylor.
Three men committed the assault, using
banister rods on his head. The injured
man was left for dead by his assailants,
but he managed to crawl from the house
to the rear steps, and there his groans were
heard by a man who lives in the neighbor-
hood. Word was sent to the police, and
when the patrol wagon arrived Taylor was
unconscious. He was taken to Providence
Hospital where he soon showed signs of
Improvement. This morning the patient
was much better although the cuts on his
head are very painful. It is thought that
the injured man knows who assaulted him,
and will have them arrested when he is
able to appear in court.

Local Notes of Interest From Across
Rock Creek.
Notice has been given by the committee
on church property of the West Street
Presbyterian Church that on September /
the Presbyterian Church cemetery, between
33d and Bath, Q and r streets, will be
finally abolished. All bodies must be re-
moved by that date, and if the friends of
the deceased do not take some action the
church will attend to the removal and en-
ter them in ore grave in some cemetery.
The committee of the church in charge of
the matter is Levin S. Frey, William NJ.
Dousal and H. p. Gilbert The cemetery at
the present time is in a very dilapidated
copdition. Many of the bodies have been
removed, in fact, almost all bodies the rela-
tives or friends of which are living Most
of the remains in the cemetery at the pres
ent time will have to be removed a the ex-
pense of the church, as no relatives of the
deceased are living. The Dissertation of
the cemetery is now complete, and vandals
have carried off most of the valuable moy-
able things in the place. The wooden head
boards have been used for firewood or
fence boards, and even the bricks of some
OF the tombs have been carted away.
Fire Today.
A fire was discovered this morning about
half-past 10 o'clock in the two-story frame
dwelling at liza 33d street. occupied by
Samuel Blackman. No alarm was turned
in because Of the fact that the engines
could not be communicated with by tele-
phone in time to respond to put out the
blaze. Policeman Ward and several other
people managed to eXtinguish the blaze
without much damage. The fire was
started by children playing with matches.
