Interesting Experience of an Indianapoli
Gentleman,

Gentleman.
No trouble is more common or more
misunderstood than nervous dyspepsia.
People having it think that their nerves
are to blame and are surprised that
they are not cured by nerve medicine
and spring remedies; the real seat of
the mischief is lost sight of; the stom-
&ch is the organ TO be looked after.
Nervous dyspeptics often do not
have any pain whatever in the stom-
ach, nor perhaps any of the usual
symptoms of stomach weakness. Ner-
vous dyspepsia shows itself not IN the
stomach so much as in nearly every
other organ; In some cases the heart
palFitates and is irregular; in others
the kidneys are affected; in others the
bowels are constlpated, with head
aches; still others are troubled with
loss of flesh and appetite, with accum-

The PunNsutawney Spirit tells of an
old gentleman in jefferson county. Pa.
who had worn the judicial ermine of an
associate judge for ten years. One day
he was asked by an old acquaintance
if he had ever been consulted by the
court while on the bench. "Neyer but
once" said the judge. "Only once in
ten years!' exclaimed the friend 1T
must have been a very important case"
"Oh, no." replied the eX-associate, lit
was not question of vital Importance.
1t was one day when the court had been
in session about ten hours. and had
sat there and dreamed and dozed, and
scarcely realized what, was going on.
During lull in the proceedings. just be-
fore court adjourned. his honor turned
to me and said in a sort of sympathetic
way: Isn't that seat pretty hard?'
admitted that it was. and that was
the only time in ten years that the
court ever asked me opinion about any
thing"

CHINESE HAIR SOAP.
Is DisaGreeabIe to Look At. But Has
an Excellent Effect

n I.
Excellent Effect.
In the great empire of China YOU run
across some odd things. writes Mar
gherita Arlina Hamm in the New York
Times One of these is what we might
call hair soap, and is used for shampoo
ing purposes. How it is made | never
could find out. but from the mere APP
pearance of the article | should say it
was composed of fine curled hav. oat-
meal, wheat husl<s, grease and little
boraX. 1t looks for all the world like
some of the oil cakes which dairvmen
feed to their COWS in winter time In
the market it is sold by the cake. or to
those who cannot afford the luxury in
small pieces. The cake is round or
clliptical in outline, from an inch to two
inches in thickness, from twelve inches
to two feet in length and from eight to
fifteen inches in width. 1t must weigh
two or three pounds.
In using it your maid breaks off a
piece about as large as an ordinary
cake of toilet soap. When applied to the
hair it produces a fair Iather and the
hay and husk separate and work their
way into the scalp. The rubbing causes
them to polish the scalp as well as the
hair itself. The subsequent rinsing car
ries away all these vegetable iIgredi-
ents and leaves the hair and scalp in
beautiful cOndition-the former soft
and silky. the latter pink and warm.
While the hair soap is very ugly to look
at and seems altogether ridiculous. vet
if you use it once you are simply
charmed with your new acquisition and
employ it regularly thereafter

THE AGE OF THE PEARL.
Probably the Oldest Precious stone
known to the Ancicnts

known to the Ancicnts.
The pearl is the one gem that comes
to us perfect from the hand of nature.
and to this its great antiquity as a
gem is largely due, says the Popular
Science Monthly. Precious stones
whose beauty and brilliancy depend on
polishing and cutting would naturally
be discovered and utilized. The discov-
cry of the diamond probably dates
within historic times. Though known
sarlier, it was not generally included
among the gem treasures of ROYALTY
even as late as the seventh century. The
modern cutting of diamonds in regular
facets was inve ted as recently as 1856.
Indeed, it is quite probable that the
pearl was the first gem known and
treasured by prehistoric man-sinCe
the search for food must have been the
first occupation of the earliest race
and the shining pearl would thus have
been discovered in river muSSels if not
in marine oysters. Certain it is that
the Old Testament and he ancient writ
ten history allude to pearls, and that
evidence is found on the tombs
and eXcavated cities in still earlier
aras. The Egyptians, Babylonians and
Assyrians held the pearl in an esteem
verging on reverence.

Austrian Rain PreYenter.

Possibly it was from noticing the
unsuccessful attempts made by the
would-be raiumakers in the United
States to bring down showers when
wanted. that an ipgenius Austrian
grape grower was induced to exactly
reverse the American practice An
account of his experiment is given by
United States Consul Stephan, at A
naberg. to the state department.
The Austrian owned extensive vine
yards situated on the stones of the
mountains in a locality often visited
by destructive hail storms AT first he
tried galvanized wire netting, but this
was too expensive, and he decided to
install a battery and test the plan of
causing explosions to drive off the hail
storms. He erected six stations on
prominent mountain SUBMITS. COM
manding territory about two miles in
extent Each station sheltered ten
mortars, and a corps of volunteers
handled them. l'he practical test is
thus described.
'Threatening black clouds made
their appearance on the SUBMITS of tn e
Bacher mountains. At a given signal
all the mortars were fired off and the
continuous detonations in few mo-
ments caused sudden reaction in the
movements of the clouds. The cloud
wall opened up funnel-like, the mouth
OF the funnel began to rise 10 the form
of consecutive rings, expanding grad
ually, until al the clouds scattered and
entirely disappeared. No hail nor
even a sudden downpour of rain fell.
The same experience was gone through
six times last summer, and has, with
out single instance of failure, proven

MUST BE SOLD.
So Judge LUrton Has Said.
Decision Holds That Consolidated
Mortgage is Precedent to the
General Mortgage.

Memphis, Feb. 11;-Judge.J. II.
LurtOn, of the Federal Court, has
decided that the Memphis & Char
lesion Railroad shall be sold and
that consolidated mortgage is pre-
dent to the general mortgage.
Since the company defaulted in
the payment of its mortgage cou-
pons in 1898 there have been mum
erous suits of foreclosure filed, but
the only one of them that has been
pushed was that filed before Judge
Lurton, in Nashville, during 1896,
and argued before him some six
weeks since.
The decree is to the effect that
unless the principal and interest Of
the consolidated mortgage be paid
within a "short day"-generally
considered to be ten or twenty days
the road shall be sold for the ben
eft of the bondholders The coun
sci for the plaintiff in the case vii
now draw the decree for sale anC
submit it to the Judge. In the e
vent that the money IL not paiC
within the specified time and APP
peal is not taken, the court will or
der day for the sale and name
special master to conduct it.
On the Memphis & Charleston
r. R., there are four sets of bonds
Of the first issue, S1,048,000 are on
standing, of the second mortgag
! bonds, 100000 are outstanding

Ipany that filed the suit for fore
closure.
The general supposition in tn
city and among railroad men i
general is that the foreclosure pre-
ceedings means the passing of tn
read into the hands of the South
ern Railway.
