WHAT IS THIS DISEASE CALLED
DYSPEPSIA?

Like thief at night, II steals In upon
us unawares. The patients have pains
about the chest and sides, and some
times In the back. They feel dull and
sleepy; the mouth has bad taste, espe-
cially In the morning. A sort OF sticky
slime collects about the teeth. The ap.
petite Is poor. There Is feeling like q
heavy load on the stomach: sometimes O
faint, all-gone sensation at the pit Of
tho stomach which food does not satisfy.
Eyes ore sunken. the hands and feet be-
come cold and clamny. After a while
a cough sets In, at first dry but after a
few months 1t Is attended with a green
ish colored e1pectorat!on. The patient
feels tired ell the while, and sleep does
not seem to AFFORD any rest. After time
he becomes nervous, irritable and
gloomy. and has evil forebodings.
There Is glddIncss. sort of whirIing
sensation In the head when rising up
suddenly. The bowels becom costiye;
the skin is dry and hot at times: the blood
becomes thick and staguant; the whites
Of the eyes become tinSed with yellow;
the urine Is scanty and high colored, de-
posting O sediment after standing.
There Is frequently a splitting up OF the
food. sometimes with a sour taste and
sometimes with sweetIsh taste: this Is
frequently attended with palpitation OF
the heart; the vision becomes impaired
with spots before the eyes: there Is a
feeling Of great prostration and weak
ness. All Of these symptoms are in turn
present. II Is thought that nearly one.
third OF our population has this disease
in some Of Its varied FORMS It has been
found that medical men have mistaken
the nature Of this disease. Some have
treated 1t for liver complaint, some for
dyspepsia. others for kidney disease
etc, etc. but none of the various kinds
Of treatment have been attended with
success.

WHEAT AFTER CORN.
Are Taken in the Preparation
of the Ground.


When a regular system OF rotation
is carried out with the different crops
it may be necessary to have wheat fol-
low corn. This is very good plan
where proper pains are taken III prepa-
ration of the soil.
The corn should be cut off as soon
as a sufficient maturity has been
reached. If the weather is dry and the
fodder is put up in reasonably small
shocks it can be cut as soon as the
grain begins to harden well, or part
of the shock can be cut and put up and
allowed to dry, partly at least, before
putting up a full shock. One advan-
tage in putting up in small shocks is
that the corn will dry out quicker and
can be shocked and cribbed earlier
than if in large shocks. But when the
land is TO be sown to wheat, it is gem
orally best 10 put up the corn in good
sized shocks in order to save room.
With a good corn harvester it is not
so much work to put up the corn in
good-sized shocks as when it is done
by hand. 1t is always an item to cut
the corn reasonably close to the
ground, as the corn in the shocks is
less liable to be injured. Then the
stalk stubs will not interfere SO much
with the work of preparing the soil as
when the stalks are cut off high.
When thorough cultivation has been
given the corn during growth. so that
the weeds have been kept down and
the soil is in good filth, one of the best
ways of preparing the soil for wheat
is to go over it carefully with disk har-
row, cutting about four inches deep;
then fine and level the surface with
good smoothing harrow. In most
cases this is all the work necessary and
the soil is ready for the drill.
One of the objections to sowing
wheat after corn Is that the blowing
must be done late and the soil is left
too loose and mellow, too deep and the
wheat plants freeze out badly.
When the drill is used on loose,
loamy soil. in many cases a thorough
narrowing that will fine and level the
surface, leaving the under soil undis-
turbed, is all that is necessary to fit
the ground for the seed.
In oil cases it viii pay, however, to
harrow, and if necessary roll and drag
the ground until three or four inches
of the surface is thoroughly prepared.
With wheat as with all other crops.
thorough preparation of the soil be-
fore seeding is essential to good ger
mination and a good start to grow.
BY cutting the corn early-as soon as
it is sufficiently matured the better
opportunity is given for preparing the
land in good filth and of sowing the
seed in good season.-St. Louis Re-
public.

THE STEAMERS cHIMref.
Some Details of Interest Regarding
It's Construction and Use.

Some Details of Interest Regarding
It's Construction and Use.
The stroller along the wharves who
should see rising from the smokestack
of a big steamer a small, and at the
start perfectly defined, column of
smoke, which seemed to come from a
small smokepipe within the big one,
might wonder if the great smokestack
was filed with smaller stacks, one for
each boiler. As a matter of fact it is
not so filled; but there is within it one
smaller smokepipe, called the donkey
stack, which is the. chimney for the
boiler of the donkey engine, which is
used when the vessel is in port in hoist
ing cargo in and out 1t is from this
pipe that the small column of smoke
is seen to issue.
The donkey stack is placed some
times against the forward inner side
of the big stack, sometimes against the
after inner side. 1t may be a complete
pipe, or it may be formed of iron in the
shape of half pipe, with fanges riv-
eted to the main pipe.
If a single one of the larger boilers
were used, as it might be when the ship
is in port, it might be connected with
the donkey stack, but in their regular
and common arrangement and use the
uptakes of all these boilers run into
the great chimney, whose whole inte-
rior is open, except for the braces run
ming across it to strengthen and sup
port it
The chimneys of all large steamships,
however, and of many other steam yes
sells as well, are built double, with an IN
ner and an outer shell. with space be-
tween varying according to the size
of the vessel; IL may be from five to
ten inches. The primary purpose of this
chamber around the smokestack is TO
afford ventilation for the engine room
and the stoke hole. In at least one
modern passenger ship ventilating
pipes from the passenger quarters
have been carried to these chambers.
Incidentally the space between the
shells helps to keep the stack slightly.
for, thus constructed, the chimney Is
cooler on the outside than II would
otherwise be, and so 1t holds paint the
better.-N. Y. Sun.

MILK, BEER AND SUGAR.
The Diet on Which a Russian Has
Lived for Twenty Years.

Lived for Twenty Years.
There is a Jew, native of Litsk,
Russia, living in the east end of Lon
don who has tasted for 20 years, his
sole daily diet during that time con-
sisting of six pints of milk, three pints
of beer and half a pound of Demerara
sugar. His name, says the New York
Times, is Morris Fox. He is an excel
lent TalmudicaI scholar, and, in spite
of his frugal meals, he is the most
wealthy, intelligent and wide-awake
person in his quarter. He is now about
40. AT the age of II, it appears, he
caught some lingering fever which
shattered his digestive organs. He took
many kinds of treatment from many
physicians until his stomach became
Injured to all medicine. At the Kieff
hospital they vainly tried to cure him
by sponging and electrolysis; at Vienna
his physicians included the well-known
Drs. Albert and Northnagel. His treat
ment at Carlsbad was failure; then
he travelled to Konigsberg, when the
physicians decided that he must live
on sugar, milk and beer. He adopted
their prescription and soon regained
normal health. For 20 years no solid
food has passed his mouth.

RID A TOWN OF RATS.
The Ingenious scheme of n Maine
Seaman.

Seaman.
Nobody has seen or heard of a rat
about Castine, Me, since last summer,
says the New York Sun. In July when
the whole town was overrun with rats
and everybody was in panic over
their destructive work, a coasting
schooner came there for wood, and the
captain sold Ben Wardell a receipt for
killing the animals. For week or two
Wardell went from house TO house sell
ing a yellowish gray powder, which he
offered TO give away if it failed to de-
stroy the pests. Then the rats began
to die. Their bodies were found in out
houses and cellars and in bitches by the
roadside. The smell was bad for q
time, but the rats were gone and not
one has been seen since. The compo-
sition of the powder remained a secret
until Wardell enlarged his business and
began to sell it in other towns. The
Castine druggist was naturally anxious
to know what killed the rats, and made
note of the articles which Wardell
bought. He never asked for any kind
of poison. but the drug vender believed
that he purchased more calcine plaster
than any ordinary man had need of
using. He mentioned it to Wardell one
day, and the secret was out. The rat
killing powder was composed of Indian
meal and calcine plaster in equal parts.
The rats ate the mixture for the meal it
contained. Then they had a great
thirst. The water caused the mass TO
harden in the stomachs of the rats,
after which their digestive functions
ceased to operate and the rats starved
to death.
