TABLETS.

No trouble is more common or more
misunderstood than nervous dyspepsia.
People having 1t think their nerves
are to blame and are surprised that
they are not cured by nerve medi-
cines. The real seat Of the mischief
is lost sight of. The stomach is the
organ to be looked after.
Nervous dyspeptics often do not have
any pain whatever in the stomach,
nor perhaps any of the usual symp-
toms of stomach weakness. Nervous
dyspepsia shows itself not in the stom-
ach so much as in nearly every organ.
In some cases the heart palpitates
and is irregular; in others the kidneys
are affected; in others the bowels are
constipated, with headaches; still 9TH

Is the happy possessor of a splendid

the roll, he always remembers the men
who are on guard, on pass, or on
fatigue, so as to make allowance and
not report them absent. This is not
very easy task.
The boys have been advised to put

Trusts.

Commencing with the tobacco
planter, if all manufacturers were
merged into one huge trust, he would
have but one concern to which he
could sell his product, and in that
case il would be fair TO assume that
the purchaser and not the seller
would fix the price. The result would
be that planter would receive a very
low price for his tobacco.
The tobacco workers Owe mean by
this, those who earn livelihood by
working in tobacco tactories) would
have but one concern to which they
could apply for employment, and, of
course, the company would fix the
price of their labor. The workers
would be compelled to submit to
greatly reduced wages.

Important Bank Decision.

Judge Barr, of the United States
Circuit Court at Louisville, on last
Saturday week, made an important
decision on the question of bank tax
alton.
The First National Bank of Louis
vile had enjoined the collection of
taxes for 1897 and 1898, assessed il
by the Board of Valuation, claiming,
among other things, that the board
had assessed the property of the bank
at its full value instead of at 20 per-
cent. of its value, as required by the
Kentucky statutes, and in his decision
Judge Barr held that the assers of the
bank must be assessed at 10 per cent.
of its value and not at its full value.

Poultry.

II farmers would consume more
poultry and less pork they would be
healthier and live longer. There is
no meat which compares with we'll
bred, fresh poultry. Many make the
mistake of sending all their luxuries
to the market. The same food
that will produce 200 pound hog
will produce 400 pounds of the best
poultry meat and with one-half the
labor.
To have eggs in abundance during
the cold weather, we must make the
winter days as near like spring as pos
sible for the hens. To do this keep
them warm and feed such food as they
are likely te get in the summer. Do
not fail to keep a scratching floor on
which to feed them. The hens must
have plenty of exercise to keep them
healthy. ...

Our Hog Pays the Bills.

The hog is the most profitable as
subordinate department. Quicker re-
turns come from him than from horses
and cattle or sheep. He pays the
rents in European countries, lifts the
mortgages in the northern states.
and in conjunction with the COW he
will redeem the worn.out cotton and
tobacco fields of the South. No agri-
cultural people thrive who buy grain
or meats and pay for them with the
price of other farm products. The
farmer is most independent who finds
at least sustenance for his family in
his fields, flocks and his herds.--Prof.
Wilson, Secretary OF Agriculture.

Key to Successful Financing.

The secret to domestic finance is to
make little money go long way,
writes Frances Evans in an article
"Aboat Men," in the January Ladies'
Home Jodrnal. The old axiom about
saving the pennies and letting the
pounds take care of themselves is not
the neutral policy of Americans; only
the frugal Scotch and French know
the rule by heart. But women could
learn it better than men because their
minds dwell more naturally upon lit
tie things. If they are really great
financiers they are frequently succes. :
full small financiers. Make a woman
responsible for an allowance and she
feels the interest of junior partner ;
pay her bills and she is put on the
footing of an inferior. There is a
feeling of ignominy about asking a
mar for car fare, fifty cents, five dol
lars, or even hundred dollars, disa-
greeable beyond expression to q
woman with any pride or independ-
ence. Now that women are thinking
more for themselveslthan in the past,
independence is becoming naturally a
part of their creed. This independ-
ence cannot be choked out"

MY DEAR PEOPLE:
awe reached our anchoring point in
the harbor near Yokohama about 10
p. m. on the 10th. AS ii was too
late for us to go ashore that night we
satisfied ourselves by looking at lights
on hundreds of Japanese fishing boats
ithe harbor was iull Of them from the
time we entered it twenty miles
back Ind then we retired so az to get
ashore early in the morning. The
first thing when weistruck the shore
was jinrikisha ride; "a jinrikisha
is small buggy drawn by
man;) making the bargain
with the men as to the Pay
and where they are TO go is quite
amusing. Miss Paine had that to do
as shew knew q few words of the
language. was so amused and i'm
terested in the surroundings that l
was the last to get into the little
buggy. That threw me behind so
that could see the whole procession
there were FIVE of us girls. l
laughed ill almost made myself
sick at the little things darling along.
The whole thing seemed like childs
play.
Our first trip was to the M. e.
School for training Bible native
women. They have beautiful build
ing, 221 Bluff. Miss Paine knew there
would be some5etters there for her 90
we went there to get them, not ex-
pecting to stay but q few minutes,
but would spend the day sightseeing
i'm Yokohama and Tokyo and return to
the steamer at night. Mrs. Vanpst-
ton and Miss Lewis insisted that we
should spend the night with them so
we returned at six o'clock, had a
splendid dinner and then the
presiding elder aud his wife
came in and we spent most pleasant
evening. The first thing after agree
ing to return at night, we went to
the bank and had our money chang
"a from gold-we changed to gold in
NSanfrancisco--to Japanese money.
Then we saw some more of Yokoha-
ma and took the tram for Tokyo at
twelve o'clock. 1t is seventeen miles
away; we were one hour in going.
We had lunch in the Imperial Hotel !;
1t was splendid American food. The
house seemed quite equal to the Gault

tied in Illinois had given me Christ
