A PECULIAR REMEDY.
Something About tho New Discovery for
Curing Dyspepsia.

Curing Dyspepsia.
The Rev. F. I. Bell, a highly esteemed
minister residing in Weedsport. Cay
uga Co., New York, in recent letter
writes as follows: There has never
been anything that I have taken that
has relieved the Dyspepsia from which
have suffered for ten years except the
new remedy called Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets. Since taking them I have had
no distress at all after eating and again
after long years can sleep we'll. Rev.
F. /. Bell, Weedsport, N. Y, formerly,
Idalia, Col.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is a re-
markable remedy, not only because it
is certain cure for all forms of indi-
gestion, but because it seems to- act as
thoroughly in old chronic cases of dys-
pepsia as we'll as in mild attacks of in
Digestion or biliousneSS. Il person has
dyspepsia simply because the stomach
is overworked, all it wants is a harm
less, vegetable remedy to digest the
food and thus give it the much needed
rest
This is the secret of the success of
this peculiar remedy. No matter how
weak or how much disordered the di-
geStion may be, Stuart'S Dyspepsia
Tablets will digest the food whether
the stomach works or not. New life
and energy is given not only to the
stomach but to every organ and nerve
in the body. A trial of this splendid
medicine will convince the most skep-
tical that dyspepsia and all stomach
troubles can be cured. The tablets
are prepared by the F. A. Stuart Co.,
of Marshall, Mich, but SO popular has
the remedy become that Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets can now be obtained at
any drug store for 80 cents per pack

natural position. In the center of the
hole place small amount of earth.
On this set the tree aud gently press
it into the earth. This insures suffi-
cient soil among the roots to prevent
any open space. 1t is these open
spaces which often cause the death of
tree. Pack the soil above the roots
as fast as it is filed in, leaving the
upper three inches loose to act as n
mulch to preserve moisture.
1t is best to set the trees little
deeper than they stood in the nursery.
This place may be known by the diff
ference in color of the bark. 1t is
customary to set a tree as near verti-
cal as possible, but l have learned
that it should be set SO as to lean
slightly toward the direction of the
prevailing winds, then as the tree
grows, it gradually straightens and at
maturity is able to maintain that posi-
ton. A tree should never be mulched
the first year, as it will cause the roots
to grow near the surface. There is
nothing better than frequent and
shallow cultivation to conserve mois-
ture and promote new growth. 1t is
better to grow some cultivated crop
among the trees than to allow the
ground to become occupied by weeds
and grass, but all seeds should not be
planted closer than four feet to the
tree. Careful attention should be
given the new growth, cutting back
any branches which are growing out
of proportion to the others, keeping
the top as nearly balanced as possi-

The Right Way to Set Fruit Trees.

B. A. Wood, of Michigan, says:
When any kind of plant has its
roots exposed, it is sure to suffer loss
of vitality by evaporation. These
should be kept covered with damp
straw or cloth, and if to be kept sew
eral days before setting, placed in a
cool place. Trees sometimes arrive
in shriveled condition, caused by
delay in shipment or transportation.
These should be Immediately placed
horizontally i'll trench and covered
with puddled earth aud allowed to re-
main for several days. If the branches
are still shriveled, they are worthless.
They should be plump when removed.
Remove all bruised and injured
roots with a sharp knife or pruning
shears. Also cut off all iibrous root
lets, as new growth starts from the
large roots. Cut back the top quite
severely, the peach TO a whip and the
pear and apple TO three or four
short branches equally distributed
around the trunk and not more than
three feet from the ground. The
branches should not exceed the roots
in length and quantity. Dig hole

AlCOl,OI.

Exactly what is the action OF alcohol on
the human organism? The following re-.
ply is from Drunkenness" book pub.
lished in 1898 by George Il. Wilson, NJ. ID.
then assistant In a large asylum IN Edin.
burgh, and later placed at the head of n
costly and truly scientific experiment, t.
ascertain what prospect there is that
chronic alcoholism can bo cured. The
process Of intoxication he describes thus:
"lf man drink a considerable quantity
OF IN alcoholic liquor, large amount OF the
alcohol passes unchanged through the
bodily system as such. The alcohol min
giles with his blood, and Is carried with Ii
through every part OF the body, so that, II
he die soon after drinking, II may be found
In all the largo organs. This is notably
the case with the liver, but most OF all
with the nervous system. A kind OF 'elec-
tive affinity seems to exist between brain
tissue and alcohol; and II is on this account
that we regard drunkenness as essentially
u nervous affection. Before the general
narcotic effect is brought about 1t has a
primary selective action on the nerve CEN
tres which regulate the blood supply OF
the nervous system. This immediate re-
suit OF alcohol is called stimulation and
occurs, for the most part, before the alco-
hol has been long in contact with the
brain tissue. II is an established fact that
alcohol interferes with the function OF tho
blood, so altering its character as to i'm
pede aeration OF the tissues and the repair
OF waste. The brain shares with the other
organs in this defect OF nutrition. The
action induced in the brain Is OF the nature
OF progressive paralysis. Moral qualities
and the higher processes Of intelligence
are therefore first invaded. Selt-control
Is lost aud judgment defectlve; at a later
stage with the abolition Of Imagination
feeling and will, the man becomes stupid,

The following story can be vouched
for. and, in recognition of the timely
action of the dog, the Alliance Assur-
ance Company, with whom the prem
ises we're insured, have awarded n sill
yer medal 10 Zulu, fully realizing his
sagacity in preventing what would
otherwise have been q disastrous tiie,
with considerable danger to the oc'
cupiers Of the house.
Zulu, who sleeps in the basement
of large house in a fashionable quar-
ter of one of our largest cities, was
early one Sunday morning lately
reused by an outbreak of fire, which
had apparently been smouldering for
some time between the floor of the
dining. room and the ceiling of the
room below. He, after repeatedly
scratching at the bedroom door of
one of the servants, succeeded in
waking her.
Thinking the dog must be unwell,
she let him into her room, and got
into bed again, but was not allowed to
sleep, as Zulu, sitting close by her
bedside, kept talking" to her (as she
describes it) so vigorously that she
suspected something must be wrong.
On getting up the dog appeared so
delighted that she folio we'd him out
Of the room, and on looking into one
of the rooms discovered the ceiling
burning.
Upon rousing the owner of the
house, who Immediately had the fire
alarm rung (which was fortunately
close at hand), Zulu seeming to know
he had done his duty, rushed upstairs
to his mistress and left the house with
the children, evidently satisfied that
he had fulfilled his part. On the fire
brigade's arrival it was found that the
fire had taken serious hold, and only
required more air (which would have
been given in another ten minutes by
the collapse of the hearthstone, ETC.
to burst into full flame in several
places. The damage by heat and
smoke was very great, and had air
been admitted nothing could have
saved the entire dwelling, as the
joists between the flooring were burn
ing from end to end of the room.--

FACTS ABOUT. ToRPEDoEs.
Various Things Which Influence Thei
Action and Their Form.

Action and Their Form.
Torpedoes are divided into two gen.
eral classes-stationary and movable.
The former consist of the buoyant and
ground mine, while the latter class is
sub-divided into the automobile and
dirigible. These terms have been
narrowed, until now the fixed class is
generally known as the submarine
mine, while the word torpedo is ap-
piled to the movable class. The buoy
ant mines are exploded in contact with
or very close to the bottom or sides of
a vessel under water, while the ground
mine acts at much greater distance.
All mines are divided into other
classes, which depend for their nom
enclature as to whether or not it is
under the control of an operator. In
all cases the controlling agent is cleo
tricity.
The depth of water in harbor hag
much to do with the form of torpedo
used, and in channels where there is
less than thirty feet at high tide the
mine case, which rests on the bottom,
has the shape of the segn ent Of
sphere with fiat bottom. The cleo
trical apparatus is attached to buoy,
anchored to the case and submerged
four feet. The explosive charge is
generally about $50 pounds of dyna.
mite or wet gun cotton. The buoyant
mine is hollow sphere, constructed
of steel, having a ring at the top for
handling, and directly opposite hole
for loading and inserting the electrical
apparatus. Over this is fitted cap
for attaching the mooring chain and
cable. 1t is generally submerged
about four feet below low water, and
the explosive charge is 100 pounds OF
dynamite or wet gun cotton. A mush.
room anchor holds the mine in posi-.
tion. Another form of submarine
mine is one. which will explode by
contact with ships bottom; but as
these are dangerous both to friend
or foe, they are now seldom used in
any scheme for defense.-Collier's

Fnmiiy History of the weewecs.

Mr.. Weewee, who was descended
from an old and honored family, was
compiling history of the Weewes,
and, being a man of some leisure, he
spent a considerable portion of his
time in writing to every Weewee, far
and near, whose address he could as
certain, his purpose being to gather
all the information possible concern
ing the collateral branches of the fam
lily.
This explains his action in writing
the following letter one day to Mr..
Jasper Weewee, Tucson, Ariz.;
"rear Sir Having accidentally seen you :
name In paper published In Tucson,
take the liberty of addressing you. am
compiling the records OF the family whose
name we bear, intending TO embody them
In a good-sized book, and shall be greatly
obliged II you will kindly acquaint me with
whatever particulars are In your posses
sion relative to your ancestors, as far back
us your knowledge extends, with dates OF
marriages, deaths, migrations, removals,
prominent events In their history, etc. BY
so doing you will confer a great favor,
which ] shall be glad to reciprocate by any
means In my power. Trusting to hear from
you soon, am, yours truly,

In about two weeks he receivedsthis
brief answer:
Dear Sir: regret that 1t will be impos-
sible for your illustrlous relative, Mr.. JAS

and give you any OF his family history. We

The indirect benefit to the farmers
of having a beet-sugar factory estab-
lished in the neighborhood is fire.
quently overlooked. The food value
of beets is something that must be
considered, and where factory is To-
Gated stock-raising can be conducted
on a much larger and cheaper scale.
The sugar beets are superior to man
gels, turnips, rutabagas and carrots;
and sheep and milch cows not only
like them, but they thrive on them.
A dairy located near beet-sugar
factory should receive a new impetus
that ought to increase its profits ten
per cent The beet pulp loses only
sugar in the process of extraction, aud
it is nearly as nutritious as corn en-
silage The pulp can be kept in the
silo just as well as corn, and for win
ter feeding it is unexcelled. Itis bet
ter than corn in some respects. 1t
has distinct influence upon the di-
gestive organs of the animals that
helps to keep them in good condition
in the winter when grass and succu-
lent food are scarce.
Farmers can thus make dairying
and cattle-raising a success while they
raise the beets for the factories. The
two industries should go hand in
hand. The establishment of more
beet factories throughout the country
will thus in tn" end help greatly to
solve the problem of winter feeding.
A winter diet of 100 to 1875 pounds
of beet pulp and fifteen pounds OF hay
day gives better results with milch
cows, cattle aud sheep than almost
any other form of food. The animals
fatten on it and gain in health and
strength right through The winter.
The beet pulp keeps the bowels open
and prevents costiveness in both cattle
and sheep.
Other roots can be grown more
cheaply than sugar beets, and when
there is no factory to take the sugar
beets it pays - raise some OF the
cheaper roots. But when the sugar
beets can be sold and the pulp brought
back at small sum, it is certain that
there is no crop that will return more
money for the trouble aud outlay than
sugar beets.-E. p. Smith, in Wis
consin Agriculturist.

Disuse of Alcohol in Disease.

Intelligent physicians have long ques-
toned the propriety of the use OF alcohol
In the treatment OF disease. Time was
when it was prescribed freely for many
of the Ills which flesh is heir to, but the
evils resulting from the appetite for II that
was frequently engendered by its use as a
curative led to Investigations which have
resulted very largely in its disuse, other
remedies proving more efflcacious In most
OF the cases, while many able physicians
maintain that other and better remedies
may be found in every case where alcohol
was formerly used.
The annual report OF President William
4. Wardwell, OF the New York Red Cross
Hospital and Training School for Red Cross
Sisters, quoted in the Baltimore Sun, pre-
sents some facts OF general interest upon
this subject. He says II has been the prac-
tice in the hospital from its foundation to
avoid the use OF alcohol In surgical cases
rs well as in cases OF disease. "The medical
and surgical staff," he says, "have in no
case administered alcohol In any OF its
forms, and the treatment has been abso-
lutely non-alcoholic," with the result to
convince the trustees OF the wisdom OF
such treatment, and to justify them, after
four years OF experience, In declaring their
"frm conviction that such treatment is to
have an important and permanent influence
upon tho future OF surgical and medical
science, and that a hospital conducted
upon this system is rapidly growing

Ravacos of Drink Among Women.

The Monitor, of San Francisco, recently
spoke as follows on the subject of the
saloon: Now and again some senational
occurrence draws our attention to the
fact that the ravages OF drink among
women are far greater than we suspect.
There is n certain dissemination to touch
this subject, but we are coming to the con-
clusion that an exposure OF the king
habits OF women is absolutely necessary.
The side entrances Of the saloons In this
city arc frequented by crowds Of girls
bearing respectable names and apparently
walking In the paths OF Righteousness.
Mothers are too careless about their daugh-
tors. When the scandal does come the
blame is only too often to be laid at the
door Of parents loycblind or lazy"
