TO CURE NERVOUS DYSPEPSIA.
To Gain Flesh to sleep Well to Know

Mean, Make a Test Of stuarts
Dyspepsia Tablets.
Interesting Experience Of an indianapolis
Gentleman.

No trouble is more common or more mis-
understood than nervous dyspepsia. People
having it think that their nerves are to
blame aud are surprised that they are not
cured by nerve medicine and spring reme-
dies the real seat of the mischieris lost sight
of the stomach is the organ to be looked
after
Nervous dyspeptics often do not have any
pain whsteycr in the stomach nor perhaps
any of the usual symptoms of stomach weak
ness. Nervous dyspepsia shows itself not in
the stomach so much as in nearly every other
organ in some cases the heart palpitates
and is irregulari in others the kidneys are
affected in others the bowels are constipated
with headaches still others are troubled with
loss of flesh and appetite with accumulation
of gas, sour risngs and heartburn.
Mr.. A. w. Sharper, Of No 81 Prospect st.,
indianapolis, Ind, writes as follows; "a
motive Of pure eatutide prompts me to
write these few lines regarding the new and
valuable medicine stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
let's. l have been a sufferer from nervous
dyspepsia for the last four years; have used
various patent medicines and other remedies
without any favorable result. They some
times gave temporary relief until the effects
of the medicine wore off, I attributed this
to my sedentary habits, being a bookkeeper
with little physical exercise, but l am glad
to state that the tablets have overcome all
these obstacles, for l have gained in flesh,
sleep better, and am better in every way.
The above is written not for uotoriety, but is
based on actual fact"

4 NEW GIANT OFFICE BUILDING.
1T IS GOING UP IN PARK ROW. AND WILL
BE TWENTY SEVEN STORIES HIGH. WITH
TWO MORE IN THE TOWERS.

The latest addition to the collection OF tall
Office buildings on the lower end OF Manhattan
Island Is the giant structure now In course OF
erection in Park Row. with an eccentric l. run
ming through to Ann-st. The steel frame. al
though only half completed. already towers high
above most of the surrounding buildings. When
finished. the structure will stand twenty-seven
stories above the street and its two towers VIII
contain two additional stories and an observation
tower over these. From the sidewalk to the bot
tom OF the flagpole will be 300 feet. The struct-
ural steel employed in this building weighs 7.5OO
tons. and tho estimata I'd load OF the building is
"a 900 tons. To give this great pile the proper
support 5000 tons of steel have been used The
weight of all the material used in the construc-
ton will foot up about $1,000 tons.
The first and second stories will have n granite
front, and from that point to the sixth story
the front will be limestone. Above the sixth
story brick and terra Gotta will be the material

Ii did the same thing when put into box with

beetle in a small glass jar with a tight-ftting
pewter cover In order to give the bug fresh
air. however several holes were punched IN the
metal These were from one quarter to three
e;phths of an inch in diameter. and the plate
itself was about one sixteenth of an inch in
thickness After this last botthng the little
rascal escaped again. and in the same manner
as before.
Careful examination of the cover showed That
the beetle had gnawed the metal where there
was an exposed edge 1t had not bored. 1t had

carefully preserved. These and the sharp Sinai
burrows cut in the edges of the airholes showed
clearly enough the insects mode of procedure.
When one remembers that tool must be
harder than the substance which it ID used to
cut he realizes how remarkable was such per-

beetle had not been harder than the pewter

their owner its liberty
The strange creature in regard to which this
tale is told is known to naturasts as the 10
pberus Mexcanus There are at least seven thou
sand known species OF beetles some peculiar 10
the Old World and some to the New. The name
"Zopherus' is borne by genus including only
fifteen species. which are found only in South
America Mexico and the extreme southwestern
part of the United States. They are noted for
their large size. what naturalists call their "bold
sculpture" and callosities on their wing cases
While related to the ancient and arstOcratic
scarab OF Egypt the one hand and on the
other to the plebeian and predatory cockroach.
the relationship is very distant Zopheri consti-
tute a sect as exclusive the Pharisees Mex
lean souaws have a habit Of weaving live beetles
of the kind whose acquaintance Mr. Devoe made
partly for ornament and partly because OF some
old superstition The Zopherus Mexicanus is
not a brilliant object il Is rather dusky in hue:
its iron law Is It's chief recommendation to pub
lie attention The best way to persuade bugs OF
this sort to stay where you want them to Is TO
secure them with a delicate metal chain or a
cord If they only knew CROUCH to do 50, OF
course. they could cut such tether; but intelli-
gence IL not their forte.
In this connection Mr.. Devoe says that ne
never had any reason to believe that his beetle
could gnaw iron or steel. He has heard those
incredible stories which sometimes come from
! the Southwest about insects that commit depre-
dations on railways but he is inclined to believe
that IL such creatures exist at all they do not
