1t Is Wanted.

Washington, March 9.-Chairnan
Dingley said today that he expected the
new tariff bill would be ready to intro
duce in the house very soon after con-
gress assemblies.
Speaking of the report that the law
might provide that the duties assessed
should go into effect Immediately upon
the introduction of the bill. Mr.. Dingley
said it would be impossible under our
constitution to make law retroactive.
Duties, he said. must be assessed ac-
cording 10 the law on The statute books
al the time goods were imported. The
law also provides that goods still in
bond should pay the new duty II they
had not been Withdrawn from bond al
the time the law went into effect.
The committee today had under con-
s.deration the sugar schedule. but
reached no definite conclusion regarding
it. The free list schedule was COM
pieted. Nearly al the remaining arti-
cles which mad not been disposed OF and
which were dutiable under the Mex nley
law. had been restored 20 the dutIable

TO CURE NERVOUS DYSPEPSIA.
To Gain Flesh, to Sleep Well. to Know
What Appetite and Good Digestion
Mean, Make Test OF StuArt's
Dyspepsis Tablets.
Interesting Experience Of an Indianapolis
Gentleman.

Gentleman.
No trouble is more common or more
| misunderstood than nervous dyspepsia.
People having IL 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 stomach is
the organ to be looked after.
Nervous dyspeptics often do not have
any pain whatever in the stomach, nor
perhaps any Of the usual symptoms OF
stomach weakness. Nervous dyspepsia
shows scse.f not in the stomach so much
as in nearly every other organ: in some
cases the heart palpitates and is irregu-
lar; 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 ac-
emulation OF gas. sour risings and
heartburn.
Mr.. A. w. Sharper Of No. 81 Prospect
ST., Indianapolis, Ind, writes as follows:
"A motive Of pure gratitude prompts me
to write these few lines regarding the
new and valuable medicine, Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets. I have been a suf-
ferer from nervous dyspepsia for the
last four years; have used various pat
ent medicines and other remedies with
out any favorable result. They some
times gave temporary relief until the ef-
fects OF the medicine wore off. 1 at
tributed this TO my sedentary habits,
being a bookkeeper with little physical
exercise. but I am glad to state that the
tablets have overcome all these OBJ
stacies, for have gained in flesh, sleep
better, and am better in every way. The
above is written not for notoriety, but is
based on actual fact"
Respectfully yours,
A. ". Sharper,
81 Prospect ST., Indianapolis, Ind.
It is safe to say that Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets will cure any stomach
weakness or disease except cancer of
stomach. They cure sour stomach, gas,
loss of flesh and appetite, sleeplessness,
palpitation, heartburn, constipation and
headache.

WHAT WE INHERIT

We are not to blame for. We can
not be held responsible for the DISPOSE
tions and tendencies which we derive
from our ancestors, nor are we respon-
sible for the germs Of disease which
may manifest themselves in our blood
as a heritage from former generations.
But we are responsible if we allow
these germs to develop into serious
diseases which will impair our useful
ness and destroy our happiness. We
are responsible if we transmit to our
descendants the disease germs which it
is possible for us to eradicate by the
use of Hoods Sarsaparilla, the one true
blood purifier. This medicine has
power to make rich, red blood and es-
tablish perfect health in place ofdisease.

HOW THE OYSTER BUILDS
HIS SHELL.

The body of an oyster is a poor,
weak thing, apparently incapable of
doing anything at all; yet what mar
velous house an oyster builds around
his delicate frame! When the oyster is
first born, he is very simple, delicate
dot, rs it were, and yet he is born with
his two shells upon him. For some
unknown reason. he always fixes him.
self on his round shell, never on his
fat shell; and being once fixed he be-
gins to grow, but he only grows in
summer. Inspect an oyster-shell close
ly, and its distinct lines. As the rings
we observe in the trunk of a tree de-
note years of growth, so does the max
ing of an oyster tell us how many years
he has passed in his "bed," at the bot
tom of the sea.
Suppose an oyster was born June
18th 1890; he would go on growing up
to the first line we see we'll marked: he
would then stop for the winter. In the
summer of 1891 he would more than
double his size. In 1892 he adds to his
house. In 1898 and 1894 he would
again go on building, till he was
dredged up in the middle of his work
in 1895, when he would be five and a
half years old. The way in which an
oyster builds his shell is pretty
sight. The beard or fringe of an oys-
ter is not only his breathing organ-i.
e., his lungs-but his feeding organ
by which he conveys the food to his
complicated mouth with his four lips.
When the warm, calm days of June
come, the oyster opens his shell, and
by means of his fringe begins building
an additional story to his house. This
he does by depositing particles of car
Donate Of lime, till they at last from
substance as thin as silver paper md
exceedingly fragile: then he adds more
and more, till at last the new shell is
at least as hard as the old shell. When
oysters are growing in their shells their
must be handled very carefully, as the
new growth of shell will cut like brok-
ell glass; and a wound on finger from
an oysier-shell is often very trouble
some.

UMBRELLAS AND CHAR

| Two men who sat near the window
of a downtown hotel few days ago
vhiled away the time by watching the
women go by commenting on their
umbrellas.

a rift in the clouds, but for all that

has already taken time to fold her UNI

wet, is going to be an old maid. She
is narrow minded, too. The next one
has bound the folds down, but it looks
uneven and bulging. That woman's

she will nurse them successfully
through innumerable attacks of Group

MARITAL EXCUSES FOR
NEGLECT.

Most of us are acquainted with men
who have repeatedly told us that they
are married. We have taken their
word for it, though we have no other
evidence of its truth. They are seldom
if ever. seen with their wives. They
frequently appear in public places, at
concerts, theatres, evening parties, but
invariably alone. This happened so
uniformly that we imagine that they
have been widowed, and feel prompted
offer our sincere sympathy. But. first
we must know the fact. On meeting
them again, therefore, we proposed to
direct the conversation to marriage, so
that they may inform us OF their be-
reavement.
Do they? No. They are still husbands,
and very devoted ones, they assure us.
They greatly regret that their wives
can never be persuaded to go out. They
are continually trying to induce them
to, but all in vain. The invisible wives
are, they assert, SO extremely domes-
tic that they will stay at home. No
other place has any attraction for
them, so consccrated are they to their
children and the family routine. 1t
seems as if they could breathe with
comfort no other atmosphere than that
of home.
Generally men who habitually and
without prompting or suggestion dis
course upon their families, and enlarge
on their excessive attachment to them
may not be excepted unreservedly. An
affc, ton that needs so much airing
promiscuous advertising may safely be
questioned.
Husbands who are over fond of eX.
planning their solitary appearance at
different resorts and in society by their
wives domesticity, and their inability
to wean them from it, are subject to
suspicion. 1t is naturally thought that
they are offering preteXts where ntne
are needed; that, covertly feeling cul
pable, they wish to forestall citicism.
Neglect in the matrimonial relation
is accounted by many man very
venial sin, if a sin at all. 1t is negative
at worst, he argues, aid such host
of husbands are guilty of it that its
frequency might be considered it's ex.
piation. Domesticity, shyness, inval
idism, are not vices, and woman NAV
be charged with these without doing
her any great wrong. And then the
charge may vastl y increase husbands
freedom, and yet enable him to stand
fair in the eyes of the world. The
world, generally censorious, is inclined
to he remarkably lenient to marital
shortcomings. One ofthesc is as crib.
ing to wives leculiarities they do not
| have by husbands who have peculiari-
ties they do not have by husbands who
have peculiarities they are unwilling

THE CARE OF WATCHES.

There are a great many little super
stitions connected with the handling
and wearing Of watches, as it is with
every thing not commonly understood.
How many owners of timepieces are
very weary about leaving them with
a matchmaker, lest some of the slew
els" may be distracted! If these peo-
pie only know that the most precious
jewels in the ordinary watch are worth
about eight cents apiece, and only
about forty cents gross unset,, their
alarm would vanish; but they would
also look upon their watches with a
great deal less of mystic veneration
and awe.
Another common belief is that turn
ing the hands backward will injure
the works. How, they do not know
but in some mysterious manner that
ordinary mortals cannot comprehend.
In fact. the only style of watch which
could have been injured in this way is
the old English "verge" escapement;
modelled after fourteenth century
clocks-watches which almost any
thing would have injured, and which
were useful for almost any purpose
except keeping time.
A watch is complicated piece Of
mechanism the least elaborate have
a hundred and fifty separate parts,
some over THOUSAND, every part nicely
adjusted to it's delicate functions. And
the movments never stop, unless the
watch's owner neglects the important
precaution of winding it, or, on the
contrary, is SO very solicitous about
its welfare that he attempts to remedy
the defects of its anatomy by surgical
operations with penknife, pin, a
lead pencil, or some other instrument
as inappropriate.
Wind your watch regularly. That is
the first great rule for watch wearers.
In the morning is probably the best
time, SO as to have the greatest ter
sion of the spring during the day,
when the works are most liable to
,l Ii nd ,r1
watch cleaned and oiled regularly. The
delicate balance wheel makes l5O, ,OOO.-
600 vibrations during year. The
best oils will gum and clog where there
is such friction.
Keep your watch pocket clean.
Don't let lint and fine dust accumulate
in the corners. No matter how well
the cases may close, the subtle dust
will work its way through soon
enough.
| Chiefest of all, curb your curiosity
Don't open the cases and inspect the
works. They are there yet, even
through you have not seen them since
yesterday. If anything should occur
to cause them to stop, don't try to
find out yourself what it is. A watch
maker will charge you nothing for an
accurate diagnosis, which involves nc
possible further injury. And don't
try to regulate the watch yourself
You may do it successfully but the
chances are against yon. In fact, the
| chances are that the watch may not
need regulating at all. All watches.
except the best, run faster in winter
slower in summer. Yet some men set
their watches with every clock they
see, aud move the regulator, too, if
they can pry the cases open.
