In the treatment of heart disease,
other complications are frequently
met with, the most general of these
is a serious nervous trouble that must
be controlled before the best results
can be obtained from the New Heart
Cure. For this purpose tll17e is

me that l had not thought of doing it
before. I don't know why it is, but
somehow my bright ideas always come
tco late.
so l gave the baby to ma and told
them to watch this interesting per-

But ii was easier said than done,
My, how greasy that skin was! 1t was
almost impossible to get good tight

to see how small it gothic lcnger it

locked so funny, something like a

bringing a friend with him to help eat
the duck!
well, no one can imagine my feel

something, and finally when he saw
the horrid little shriveled-up thing he
burst out into hearty laugh, saying
why, Nellie, is this all that is left of
our beautiful duckT / never before

tender piece for our guest. but It was
impossible to find anything tender on
that duck-it was as dry as chips,
worse thai he driest dried beef, and
oh, so tasteless and so dark-do you
think roasted it too long, Kate?

A TERRIBLE DEED.
TRAIN WRECKED BY ROBBERS
% PEOPLE KILLED.
Rail Torn up on a TrestIe Near Blrming-
ham, Ala, and Passenger Train
was Thrown into the River 40 Feet
Below-Dead Were Robbed.

Dispatches from Birmingham, Ala,
tell of one of the most devilish deeds
that ever occurred in this country.
Fiends of human form wrecked the
Birmingham Mineral passenger train
No. 40 at Cahaba river bridge, ~ miles
from Birmingham, and % lives were
lost. That number of bodies have
been recovered from the wreck and
further search may swell the list of
dead. 1t is not known and may never
be ascertained just how many passen-
gers were on the train. Most of them
were miners and residents of mining
towns in that district who had round
trip holiday tickets and were returning
to their homes along the line of the
Birmingham Mineral railroad. The
train, consisting of an engine, a bag
gage car and two coaches, left Birm-
ingham at $3.50 a. M, and went to Tao
Goa, on the main line of the Louisville
& Nashville. There it switched off to
the Birmingham Mineral track and
went to Gurnee. Six miles south of
Gurnee is the Cahaba river, a shallow
mountain stream, which is spanned by
an iron bridge with wooden trestles on
each side. It's entire length is 500 feet.
The main span and the span just be-
yond it gave way and precipitated the
entire train into the river. The cars
piled upon each other through the
main span. The entire wreck took
fire and was rapidly burned to
the waters edge. Nine persons alone
escaped alive from all who went down
and several of them will probably die.
The wreck is regarded as almost GER
tainly accomplished by the removal of
rail on the middle span of the trestle.
This derailed the train, which caused
it to fall down the two spans and pre-
cipitated it into the river, 10 feet be-
low. win Gardner, one of the wounded
survivors, says that as soon as the
train went through the bridge three
savage looking men rushed from the
woods and went through the wreckage
robbing dead and injured and making
no effort to rescue the injured and
imprisoned passengers. Before help
arrived the men had fed into the
woods.

New Years Duck.


"Oh! Nellie, you should see the love-
Is duck l got as present this morn
ng-it's perfect beauty am going
to have 1t for our New Years dinner"
said Mrs. English to her friend Mrs.
Lane, who had come in to see her dur
ing the afternoon and talk over the
Christmas celebration of few days be-
fore.
us your duck dressed or alive,
Kate?" asked Nellie in some haste.
"Oh! it's alive, am going to dress
it myself" answered Kate, its not
much trouble to dress duck-do you
think it would be?"
well, Kate, l really pity you. l
must tell you what a dreadful time l
had with the one we killed last week,
it yet makes me SILVER all over only
to think of it, it was such a terrible
day the memory of it will never fade
away! / really think my back has not
once stopped aching since picked that
duck"
"Do tell me, Nellie, won't their feath-
ers come out, or what was the trouble?"
asked Kate. 81 am beginning to feel
alarmed"
'I'll begin by telling you how We got
the duck" began Nellie. "2pe night
after l had goIe up stairs with Ine
baby, and John was smoking his pipe
it must have beS7 after Il o'ciocI-
there was faint knock at the kitchen
door. heard John going to the door
and speSning to some one. and then he
and ne some one went into the gar
6sl to the chicken coop, and presently
/ heard loud noise and fuss among
the hens. 1t was Jim Peters. He had
won a duck at rattle at a tavern and
asked John to let b,N put IL n di.
hen coop until sirther notice.
Now, eitb1f the duck did not feel
very comfortable or the hens did not
feel ao much at ease as formerly,
doH't know what caused it, bat there
,6as a constant war going on among
them. Why, didn't get one egg while
that fowl was IN there. So told John
to tell Jim to reGove = or We would
kill it. At la1t Jonn bought it from
Jim and billed it. and said l should
roast Il for dinner.
NOW, John killed it before he went
20 work, but thought If would begin
to dress it after 9 o'clock l could soor
get it in the oven. Then / knew moth
ing about ducks now l am much wiser
81 asked ma--you know ma just came
the day before from the west; it's the
first time she had been to see us since
we were keeping house. l asked ma
whether should scald the duck or pick
it dry. She said she had always picked
nsrs dry and had saved the down fol
her feather beds. So began to pick il
dry.

The Julian Year.

The error of the Julian year was
corrected in the Gregorian calendar ~
the suppression of three intercalati.S~
in 400 years. In order to restore the
commencement of the year to the same
place in the seasons that it had occu-
pied at the time of the Council of Nice,
Gregory directed the day following the
feast of st. Francis, that is to say, the
5th of October, to be reckoned the 18th
of that month. By this regulation the
vernal equinox which then happened
on the 18th of March was restored to
the 21st. From 1882 to 100 the differ
ence between the old and new style
continued to be ten days; but 100 be-
ing leap year in the Julian calendar,
and a common year in the Gregorian.
the difference of the styles during the
18th century was eleven days. The
year 1900 was also common in the new
calendar, and, consequently, the diff
ference In the present century is twelve
days. From 1900 to 2100 inclusive Il
will be thirteen days.
