ToCURENERvOUs DYSPEPSIA
To Gain Flesh, to Sleep We'll, to Know What Appetite and Good Digestion Mean, Make a Test of stuart's
 Dyspepsia Tablets.
Interesting Experience of an Indianapolis
 Gentieman

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 notcured by nerve medicine and spring reme- dies; the real seat of the mischief is lost sight of; the stomach Is the or gan to be locked after.
 Nervous dyspeptics often do not have any pain whatever in the stom- aeh, nor perhaps any of the usual symptoms of stomach weakness. Nervous dyspepsia shows itself not in the stomach SO much as in nearly every other organ; i'll sone cases the heart palpitates and is irregular; in others the kidneys are affec ted; in others the bowels are constipated , with headaches; still others are troubled with loss of flesh and appe- tite, with accumulation of gas, sour risings and heartburn.
 MT. A. W. Sharper of No. 6l Pros pect St, Indianapolis, Ind, writes as follows: "A motive of pure gFat- itude prompts me to write these few lines regarding the new and valuable medicine, Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab. lets. 1 have been q sufferer from ner- vous dyspepsia for the last four years; have used various patent med ieines and other remedies without any favorable result. They some times gave temporary relief until the effects of the medicine wore off. attributed this to my sedentary hab- it's, being q bookkeeper with little physical exercise, but l am glad to state that the tablets have overcome all these obstacles, for 1 have gained in flesh, sleep better and am better in every way.

 One of tho most ridiculous situations which at the time bring the eoldest sweat out on q mans brow and eyeE after remain with him as q constant source of mirth occurred to q Shelton merchant He thought he would take bath, and as his fiat is minus one of the chief requisites for tho job-a bathtub --he extomporized ono out of small washtub and enjoyed q cooling ablu- tion.
 He had just concluded and stepped from the tub for the towel, when sud denly the top hoop of the tub burst with a sharp report, and the man saw to his horror that the whole contents of the tub would soon be flooding the floor At tha same moment he thought of the store beneath and tho amount of dam age the water would do as it ran down through the ceiling. He is man of quick thought, and in moment he did the only thing possible-threw himself down beside the tub and, elasping his arms around it, held the already fast swelling slaves together He was suo- cessful in keeping the water in-bus what situationl He dared not yell, for he was hardly in a condition to receive callers, especially as he knew that all in the block at the time were of the gentler sex, and he realized at once that the only thing left for him was to stay in that position until the return of bis wife, who was out on a shopping expe- dition.
 Like the boy who saved Holland, he manfully remained in his most uncom- fortable position until relief ill the shape of his wife appeared. Then, to cap the climax, when he asked her to get a rope or any old thing to tic about the tub, she, after long fit of unoontrolla bIe laughter, asked him why he didn's carry tub and contents out to the sink room and pour out the water. With 8 look that froze the smile on her face be did as she said and without word don. hed his clothing and wandered out into the cold, unfeeling world, a crushed and humiliated man.--Ansonia Senti Bal

 The man who composed the music for Whittief's S song, "We Are Coming, Father Abraham, Three Hundred Tho1" sand Strong, is an old and somewhat decrepit piano tuner, who carries on his business near Windom, Minn. His name is A. B. Irving.
 One day soon after Lincoln's call fo1 300, 900 more men, Irving, then young man, was on his way to Defiance, O., from Fort Wayne for the purpose oS singing at q political and loyal meeting, He had considerable reputation as a composer and singer and the Republic Sns had asked him to come and helP them On the way he read the poem, which had just been published. Irving studied it, formulated tune, hummed tt and got the rhythm, and that eyen- ing at the Defiance meeting he sang the song for the first time. When he had finished, and the last echoes had died away, men mounted their chairs with wild enthusiasm, swung their hats and broke loose ill cheers that rang with feeling He sang 1t again and again, and they would scarcely let him rest.
 The next night he sang the song at Fort Wayne, and again aroused the same enthusiasm. He wrote out the music and sent it to the publisher who had handled what he had composed, with instructions to publish it on hia usual terms of royalty. It was publish ed, and inside of month more than 40, GOO copies had been sold. In a few days the publisher failed and Irving never received a dollar for the music -- New York Sun.

The two fair daughters of the household
were discussing the entertainment they pro
posed giving for the benefit of little worh
of charity in which they were interested,
and, as a matter of course, the old gentleman
had to have his say.
"It's an internal nuisance" he declared
"The house will be in a commotion for
week, nothing will be thought of but your
party, and everything will be disarranged
That night we will all be awake till well to
ward morning, and the next day, those who
are not sick will go about snarling and hall
asleep. call it nothing but tomfoolery."
Papa" said the eldest, don't you under
stand that we are going to help some of the
poor and that every cent we make will pro
vide them with some comfort? What you
should do is to encourage us"
Don't talk silly. It's good deal you
girls care about the charitable feature of thii
social combination you're in. It's the boy
and girls and cards and dancing you want
No use trying to pull the wool over my eyes
Every well. Wen try to do our duty
even if you do make it hard. We, at least
have some sympathy for the afflicted"
"Oh, you have? Sweetly disinterested
aren't you? How much did you take in al
the last blowout"
"Just $780," proudly
"Well, I'll give you just 5000 for tht
cause if you'll not infict your coworkers OIL
us. Now, how's your charity?"
