Rad Digestion. Bad Reart.

Poor digestion often causes irregularity
n, tho hcurt's action. This irregularity
may be mistaken for real, organic heart
disease. The symptoms are much the same.
There is, however, vist difference be-
tween the two; organic heart disease Is
often incurable; apparent heart disease Is
curable If good digestion be restored.
A case in point is quoted from the Ee,o
Era, OF Greensburg, Ind. Mrs. Ellen Col
som, Viewpoint, Ind, woman forty-three
years old, had suffered for four years with
distressing stomach trouble. The gases
generated by the indigestion pressed on o.
the heart and caused an irregularley ot lts
action. She had much pain In her stomach
nnd heart, and was subject to frequent and
severe choking spells, which were most
severe at night. Doctors were tried In vain;
the patient became worse, respondent, and
feared impending death.

AGRICULTURAL.
Cellar Wintering.

Bees may be successfully wintered
ir cellars, if properly managed, but
it takes care and experience in most
cases to make sure success of it. A
cellar used for bees should be for bees
alone and not for other purposes, from
the fact that cellar that contained
decayed fruits and vegetables would
not be as healthy for bees, besides
frequent visits to the cellar would an
noy the bees and may result in disas-
ter to them. A part of a cellar that
is securely partitioned off exclusively
to itself might answer, if proper pre-
caution is always taken on enteringit,
or doing any work in it while the bees
are there.-Agricultural Epitomist,

but did not 60 away. He was the

Cut or His own Leg to savo His Like

Cut or His Own Leg to Savo His Lie.
Tattooing is not nearly as common
among savages as it was before the in
huence of missionaries began to be
felt. Many of the natives Of the
South Pacific islands, however, still
keep up the practice. Every native
boy, when he reaches the age Of eight
wears, must submit to the needle. 1t
is peculiar fact that all Samoans are
tattooed alike. Devices representing
animals are never used. The tattoo
marks run from the waist to the
knees in intersecting lines resembling
the small checks sometimes seen in
cloth fabrics. The lines are SO close
together that at distance nude na-
tive appears to be clad in pair OF
blue knickerbockers.
AS an illustration OF the capacity o.
the Samoan to endure pain, the fol-
loving incident will suffice: A boy,
eighteen years old, named Mua, in.
jured his foot on jagged piece OF
coral. Gangrene set in and he real
lied that his leg would have to be cut
off to save his life. No surgeon. was
at hand and the boy DECIDED to per
form the operation of amphtation'him
self. He tied string tightly around
his leg above the knee, and, seating
himself on the ground, severed the
member at the knee with an ordinary
sailors jackknife. The rude flaps OF
flesh were bound together, covered
with healing leaves, and, strange as it
may seem, the lad recovered. Sa'
means regard any exhibition OF the
consciousness of pain as an evidence
of weakness.

master Kew in a eineer Ring.

A Cincinnatian, lately returned from
England, says he saw rather novel
innovation in the way of a master ley.
At a country place at which he
stopped he was surprised to see the
host unlock the gateway with a small
key, which was hidden in his seal
ring, and further was surprised when
the host unlocked his secretary with
the same key. The American was cur
ious to know something about the key,
and he was told it unlocked every door
in the house, including the wine eel
lar, the cases and the closets. But
this key was the only one that would
do this. The buffers key unlocked
his domain, the housekeeper hers, but
they could not unlock each others
doors. The master key was the only
one for all. AS he wore it in a ring, he
would always have it with him.

keeper has covered china dish that

meats are placed. When she requires
a large amount she often sends the
pcrcelain-lined preserving kettle with

Ice underneath. OF course this is not
necessary in very cold weather, but
during fall and spring people do not
realize that meats deteriorate very
rapidly upon exposure to the air. The
temperature Is so much cooler for
them that they forget that chemical
changes take place quickly even In
moderately cool weather. A market
basket fitted with an agate tray or ba-
sin is excellent for meats. An ordi-
nary cover may be used, and in this
way the steaks and joints will come
to the table in much better state
than as though they had been allowed
to give up their substance to q bit OF

butter in wooden trays is severely crit

impart disagreeable flavor to the
butter. It may not develop immedi-

jectionable before it is used. Paper is
cutie as bad, and when one reflects on
the material of which ordinary paper
is made the suggestion is scarcely cal
oulated to prove an appetizer. OF
course very high degree Of heat and

down through the bridges and sailed.

and taken out on board yesterday morn

bers of the naval militia will probably be
finished Saturday. The boys are working
at drills when the rain let's up enough to
stay on deck.
There were no sailors to be had in
Portland yesterday. The wages paid are
$50 which is the highest for long time.
Men are very scarce, however. A good
many are steadily employed on govern
ment work at various places, leaving a
scarcity in the ranks of seafaring men.

A NARROW ESCAPE.

One of the sailors on the bark Fl. G.
Johnson had narrow escape from serious
injury yesterday morning. The bark is
lying in the stream loaded with lumber,
for Buenos Ayres and waiting favorable
breeze to sail on. The sailor in question
was on the foreyard at work. He was just
starting to come down when he lost his
footing and fell from the yard to the
deck. Strange to say, he struck on his
feet first after falling some 20 feet. He
was shaken up badly and, as it was feared
he was seriously injured. DR.. Gerrish of
the Maine hospital was notified at his
Custom House office and went out to the
bark on the tug L. a. Belknap. He
found that no bones were broken and that
beyond severe shock the man was all
right. He will sail with the bark but
will probably be sore for some days.
