ABOUT INDIGESTION.
The Principal Cause Is Improper
Food Taken In Hur-
rfed Manner.

America has the reputation, less de-
served now, perhaps, than it was half
a century ago, of being the land Of
the dyspeptic. When we consider the
causes that were formerly at work to
prevent healthy digestion we cannot
wonder that so many suffered from
this malady.
The men were too busy to devote the
necessary time to their meals and bolt
ed their food without the thorough
mastication which insures the proper
beginning of the digestive process. The
women had more time to eat, if they
would have taken it. but they went
out little. taking almost no exercise,
and the amount of food eaten was
almost always in excess of the needs
of the body-a most favorable con june
ton for the production of dyspepsia,
Finally, the food itself was of such a
kind, and prepared in such Il way. as
to tax the digestive organs to the ut
most. The frying pan reigned su.
preme, and greasy, smoked and corned
meats, with hot saleratus biscuits or
heavy pancakes, led the assault at
breakfast time upon the sorely over
worked stomach. hardly recovered aft.
er nights rest from its herculean
struggle with the hot bread, pie and
doughnuts of the preceding supper.
So much has been said and written
on this subject that these causes are
less active to-day, but they are still
sufficiently so to bring misery to large
numbers.
The familiar symptoms of dyspep-
sia are coated tongue, disagreeable
The appetite may be poor or it may be
rayenous, there may be nausea and
vomiting, a feeling of weight in the
stomach and often oppression in the
chest. There will probably be much
Gatulence and heartburn and more or
less acute pain.
Palpitation of the heart, sound of
beating arteries in the head and a very
rapid or an unusually slow pulse are
often present, and may lead the patient
to believe that he has heart disease.
A great danger to be avoided in dys-
pepsia is self-treatment. The patient
watches himself. cuts off one article
of diet after another which he has
been led to believe. often without rea-
son, to be injurious to him, until he
nearly starves himself; or he swallows
box after box of pills or bottle after
bottle of DR.. Somebody's anti-dyspep-
ticum, until his powers of digestion
are utterly ruined.
If an intelligent physician is ever
needed by anyone it is by the sufferer
from this distressing and complicated
malady, which must be taken in hand
early to be cured easily, or perhaps at
all.-Youth's Companion.

FASHION NOTES.
Some Fresh Items for Ladies' Who Are
Up to Date In Matters
of Dress.

A costume can be freshened Up with
any of the many afronts" that are now
so popular. One very pretty one is
made of red cloth, slightly full and
braided with black braid. Another
one is et corn-colored taifeta, made
very full. and with stock collar and full
bow. Another one, more dressy, is
made of ecru lace and oliye-green vel
vet ribbon. This is made of alternate
strips of the lace and ribbon, is very
full and has n collar of the velvet rib
bon laid in folds.
A princess costume is made OF white
crepe de chine. a N-shaped front Is
of lace and this is outlined with rows
of narrow black velvet ribbon. The
waist has epaulettes outlined with the
velvet, and there is broad sash OF
black velvet. The sleeves are plain
with bands of narrow velvet ribbon
at the wrists.
Lace seems to be the best-liked OF
all trimming materials. Large guam
titles of it are used. especially on the
waist, while only n small part is EN-
ployed on the skirt. Among the lead
ing features are a bolero, a yoke,
sleeveless vest, sleeveless overgarment
and collarette.
4 dress of very sheer material is
trimmed with narrow satin ribbon put
on in groups. Another way of trim
ming is to make fat bows of ribbon
with long ends, these to be appliqued
on as flat as possible. This is very
pretty. but a great deal of work.
Black and white lace is popular
combination. A very successful style
is a black lace yoke band with the
yoke itself and collar of white lace.
A blouse front of black lace over
white silk or satin is worn with black
and white-striped silk costume.
Among the favorites for summer
wear arc tailor-made white pique
skirts. They are usually worn with
white percale or lawn shirt waists
although the pique is not very heavy
and may of itself make useful and at
tractive shirt waists.
The number of different flowers
worn on ore hat is startling. For ex-
ample, hat in sailor shape had roses
violets, forgetme-nots and lilies of the
valley as trimming. 1t may have
been stylish but surely not artistic
a dress of white and pink organdie
has the skirt entirely covered with
narrow ruflies, edged with lace, The
waist is made baby fashion and the
gimp is made of the same silk as the
lining or underskirt.
The newest sleeves are close-fitting
Those made of thin materials are
puffed or tucked and have frills of
lace falling over the hands. Those OF
cloth are much palmer in design.
The military idea is growing rapid
ly. There are chevrons, stripes, frogs,
belts, epaulettes and jewelry of all
sorts and descriptions, with military
suggestions.--N. y. Ledger.

KEEPING A HUSBAND.
A Wife's Home-Malxing Ability Will
often Save to Her the Happf-
ness OF Married Love.

1t has been said that the first year
of married life holds the responsibility
for the happiness or the misery of the
coming years, because it is the trial
time of two whole tastes. habits ideas
and peculiarities are brought to the
test of harmony.
But no woman ought to surrender
her individuality even to make peace
in a family. And she will not be
obliged to do so If she has love and tact
and patience. Many husband has
been led like a little child, and has
never known that he was bowing his
will in the least, simply because his
wife knew how to influence him. And
Just here let it be said that influencing
in contradistinction from governing
is the word for that something which
makes it possible for wife to become
a comfort, power and blessing to the
husband. The woman who cannot in
fuence her husband must be lacking
in essential qualities for a good wife,
or else she must deal with hopeless
case.
Above all things in a woman's pur-
pose should stand the desire to hold
love from loss and from spelling in
fluences. We sometimes hear Of two
who have passed years Of married life
without once exchanging an angry
or even unpleasant word. This may
be possible for those whose natures
are such that reason and emotion are
very elastic; but 1t could not be said
of the majority of welded people. An
angry woman is not the thing to be
most dreaded. but that gradual
growth of Indifference that leads to
atrophy of conjugal love.
There are ways of keeping n true
husband in loverlike spirit always,
but the wife must preserve those feel
ings and their expression that marked
those charmed hours wheS she was the
sweetheart. Loving thought for the
comfort and happiness of the lover
found expression naturally in words
and in acts. 1t must be the same to
the wife that would hold the husbands 5
affection. Then those little words that
are prompted by love and received in
its spirit have a world of significance; (;
these should not be left behind after
the home life together is begun.-Mary
r. Baldwin, in Woman's Home Com
panion.

New UeIts,

The shirt waists, and handsome odd
waists, have brought the belt into an
enviable position of elegance. Some Of
the recently-imported models are
worthy the prices demanded, since
they are of exquisite workmanship
and of the most artistic conception
of form and colorings. The new
buckle is quite large, but broad rather
than high, invisibly closing and ex
tending well across the front Of the
girdle. Gilt, steel and pearl are hand
somely wrought, but the newest and
most beautiful are in oxidized, enam-
elled, copper and antique effects
Canoes cut from lava, or the shell Of
the female cameo, are cut in high re.
lief, usually a single medallion, and
set in elaborate Moorish. Byzantine,
Venetian, Egyptian or East Indian
buckles, showing enamels of truly
wonderful colorings, considering that
they are not classed with iewelry
proper. These buckles are used with
silk webbing or velvet belt straps,
from one to two inches in width, and
of any color shown in nature or cor
eeived by ingenious ars.--Dostoa Her.

HE SAID TOO MUCH.
One of Those Dend-Sure, Make-NO-
Mistake Fellows Who
Got Left.

The danger of saying too much is al
ways more imminent than that OF say
ing too little. The man who is con-
vinced he has approximated the vir-
tues of the Creator, and insists upon it
to his fellow men, Is always more Of
fensive than the man who secretly be-
lieves it, but spares his acquaintances
the knowledge of the awful truth.
A story recently related to n rep
rcsentative of Hardware" by the head
of large hardware house in New
York illustrates the case in point.
Something of this merchants disposi-
tion may be CLEANED from the fact
that, when speaking of his employees,
he says 1.-The boys" with an affection
ate intonation. born of long apprecia-
tion of their good points, and kind
liberation for their occasional errors.
1t was the intention of the house to
put another representative on the
road, and the man they had in view had
been favorably, though not thorough
". known to them for a long time.
Negotiations were about concluded,
and the signing of a remuneratiVe con-
tract by the salesman was regarded by
him as a mere matter of form. AT a
final interview with his prospective
employer and evidently with the idea
of further impressing the latter with
his desirabihty, he said: "Mr. -. |
am an older man than you. ! have
been in this business for 25 years, and
l wish to add that have never made a
mistake"
AS the would-be employer reached
out on his desk in an distracted man
ner, and gathered in the unsigned con-
tract, which he slowly tore up in the
same absent-minded manner, he re-
marked that it was a source of keen re-
gret to him that he simply couldn't af-
ford to employ such a valuable man;
that there was not man connected
with the house, from himself to the
dago who sorted the refuse paper
every morning, who was not constant
ly making mistakes and profiting by
the experience, and that the direct re-
sast of the placing of a perfect man
among the force would be immediate
decentralization. AS the perfect man
slowly wended his weary way up the
street it probably occurred to him
that he had smashed u beautiful rec
ord.-Hardware.

THE MIDDLE WEST.
Now Entering on u Period of Perma-
nent Prosperity-Its bitter
Lesson.

The period of settlement in the mid
die west is gone, never to return. The
time of extravaganza will not be re-
peated, for its lessons were burned
deep into the hearts of all. 1t left be-
hind broken hopes, tormenting debts,
ruined homes, blighted ambitions. The
prophecies upon which It was based
can again receive no credence from
those who saw the wreckage of the re-
ceding financial wave. Without ex-
travagance there is little danger of
great depression. Short crops may,
and doubtless will, come; prices may
fuctuate and localities have their rise
and fall; but with plans laid on con-
servatiye lines, and the motto PAY
as you go" made the underlying prin.
ciple of the peoples business dealings,
widespread or long-continued back
slidings will be impossible.
The period on which the west is en-
tering gives promise of being one of
permanent prosperity; it is based on
those things which are not influenced
seriously by climatic vagaries. The
hot winds may come, but the Katfir
corn and cane will wave green ban
ners. The rains may be far between,
but the milk cart will continue it's
journey to the creamery. Hail may
fall, but the cattle on the level reaches
will not be hurt. Diversified agricul-
ture will provide for failure in n sin
gle crop by giving yields of others.
Irrigation will lend its aid in oppor-
tune places to insure bountiful gar
dens. In short, the west is settling
down to make the most of the re-
sources which it possesses, and has
ceased worrying aboRt those it pos
sesses not. In that lies the secret of
its future, and so generally is this rec
ognized that the prairies ought to be
taken out of the doubtful list" and
placed with those portions of the ma
tion of which certain results can be
predicted, and where unvarying ad-
yances follow the seasons round. This
Is the IDEAL of the west; for this it is
working, and over the threshold of
such an experience its people believe
it has passed.-Charles Moreau Har-
ger, in Harper's Magazine.

LIGHTNING AND RAIN.
Discovery of an Old pher That
There Is Always Hnin Where the
Lightning Is Central.

Tie obseryant Jerseyman and
friend of his were standing out of
doors chatting the other evening when
they were startled by sharp fash of
lightning in the western sky.
We're going to have a shower, said
the Jerseyman, They listened for an
answering peal Of thunder, but as none
was heard the friend said:
II guess not; that is only heat light
ming"
There never is any lightning with
out rain" said the Jerseyman. MY
father made that discovery when he
was a telegraph operator. That was
in the early years of telegraphy, near
ly so years ago. In those days there
was no such thing known as reading
by sound and all the operators used
recording instruments. The crude
ness of the instrument in those days
made it very difficult to operate the
lines except under the best circum-
stances, and utterly impossible, even
with careful adjustment, when there
were electrical storms.
MY father began experimenting to
overcome this difficulty, and at last he
made a self-adjusting relay magnet
which would not only work on any line,
long or short, without any manual ad-
justment, but it would also work just
GS we'll when the line wire was over
charged by aerial electricity, and the
working of the key merely made slight
differences in the amount of the cur
rent on the line. At these times he
could receive messages from anyone
on the line, although they could not
get messages from him, as they had
only the ordinary relay magnets.
His ability to take messages under
such circumstances soon became
known all along the line. His office
was at Perth Amboy, n. J. One day it
occurred to him to inquire into this
question of heat lightning, and, see
ing storm away off in the west, he
telegraphed alonP the line, asking all
the Offices where the storm was. He
got answers from all the offices up to
that which was cut off by the presence
of the storm, and then requested each
Office between to tell him when the
storm arrived there. So as the storm
moved he got n history of it.
This he repeated many times, and
by means of questioning along the line
afterward also made sure that there
was always rain falling where the
lightning was central every time the
flashes were visible to him, although
no rain might fall at Perth Amboy for
days or wee!ls."-N, Y. Sun,

ENchnnme Their Children

There is a pretty custom in vogue in
Denmark 1t appears that sring the
summer holidays the Danes send the
school children of the city to the coun-
try and those of the country to the city.
The parents of the country and those
of the cities swap children temporarily,
so that the city children are strength
ened and made happy in the country,
while the people in the cities show the
little country people the sights and get
up festivals for them. In this way CO.

THE LIEUTENANT.
A Little 1aIe of Brilliant Spanish STRAIT
egg.

A Little tale of Brilliant Spanish Strait
egg.
No IL who is at all familiar with
the geography of western Cuba will be
surprised to learn that this picturesque
region contains the little town of La
Caramba. On the right a small stream
flows peacefully, and the surrounding
country is largely composed of under
brush and mosquitoes. 1t was at this
little town of La Caramba that the
Spanish army was encamped on a hot
day in July when the news came that
the Yankees were marching forward in
three columns. One column was to at
tack the Spaniards in front, a second
was to operate against the right flank,
while the third was to seize La Manana,
an important strategic point in the
rear, and cut off the Spanish retreat.
No wonder the brow of the Spanish
general was clouded. AS he pondered
on his terrible situation, his eye fell
upon the smiling face of a young lieu
tenant of infantry.
The youth smiled. He was thinking
of his inamorata in far Seville, and he
was figuring that at the present rate of
progress it would not be long before he
could get back to her.
What would you adviser then
asked the commander, who, it may be
stated, was a profound student Of the
wars of the grand duchy of Gerolstein.
1t was the chance of a lifetime for
the lieutenant, and he seized it eagerly.
1.-THE situation" he said, sis critic
al, but not hopeless. AS to the column
that is to attack us in front, don't
worry about it. We have a good handi-
cap. AS to the column operating against
our flank, we shall see what we shall
see. But the third column-the one
it must be thwarted. We must take pos
session Of that point at once"
my own idea precisely" said the
general a~dmiringly. "Shall we take the
artillery and baggage with u.s."
"No," said the lieutenant. Chime is
more important than either"
Fright you are" said the general.
"Shall we wait to send off a Geographic
report of the battle? 1t is all ready
tremendous victory-estimated loss of
the enemy-usual form, you know"
"Send it along, " said the lieutenant,
land instruct the telegraph operator to
hurry up and catch up with the rest of
us as fast as he can. What would we dc
without a telegraph OPERATOR"
The lieutenant's plan was carried out
to the letter. The Spanish army passed
through La Manana and was far on its
way to the rear when the dust covered
cavalry of the foe galloped madly into
the town. Their commander uttered q
cry of execration when he saw that he
had been foiled.
In a very short time the wise and
brilliant lieutenant will marry thai
