Can NOu Indulge In This !.

During the day every one should
take a few minutes sleep. preferably
directly after the noon meal" writes
Edward r. Warman in The Ladies'
Home Journal. The time given to il
ay seem too precious for one in busi-
ess, but it will be more than compen-
sated for by the mental and bodily
condition that follows. Sit in an easy
chair. Lying down directly after n
meal crowds the digestive organs and
makes ones sleep restless instead of
restful. Rest the head comfortably.
Tip the chair TO a pleasant angle for
the body. not enough to have the
weight of the body on the back.
Place the feet on q chair as high or 4
trifie higher than the one upon which
you are sitting; cross the limbs at t, =
ankle joints, close the hands together
by interlacing the fingers, place the
f1eshy part of the thumbs together in
order to avoid grasping the hands too
tightly and close the eyes. Having
thus closed the circuit, 1t will be nee
essary to relieve yourself Of all nerv-
Gus and muscular tension. Think only
of your slow. measured breathing and
the desire for a restful sleep"

Persons troubled with diarrhPa
will be interested in the experience
of Mr.. w. NJ. Bush, clerk of Hotel
Dorrance, Providence, R. L. He
says: For several years l have
been almost a constant sufferer from
diarrhea, the frequent attacks COM
pletely prostrating me and rendering
me unfit for my duties at this hotel.
About two years ago a traveling
salesman kindly gave me small bot
tie of Chamberlain Collie, Cholera
and Diarrhea Remedy. Much to my
surprise and delight its effects were
immediate. Whenever l felt symp-
toms of the disease / would fortify
myself against the attack with few
doses of this valuable remedy. The
result has been very satisfactory and
almost complete relief from the affiic-
tion." For sale by City Drug Store

Wonders of the Steam Engine.

The nice adjustment necessary in the
various parts of the immense engines
now employed for some of the trains
on our great railway lines may be indi-
Gated by few data of the work per-
formed by these parts when the loco
motive is worked at high speed. Thus,
in the case of n passenger engine at 60
miles an hour, a driving wheel of 5lx
feet diameter revolves five times ev-
cry second, and. this being so, the re
ciprocatinC parts of each cylinder, in
Guiding one piston rod. crOSshead and
connecting rod, weighing about 600
pounds, must move back and forth 4
distance equal to the stroke, say y
feet every time the wheel revolveS, or
in the fifth of n second; this weight
starts from a state of rest at the end
of each stroke of the piston and must
acquire a velocity of 81 feet per second
in one-twentieth of a second, and must
be brought to a state of rest in the
same period of time. \ piston IS inch
es in diameter has an area of 2041a
square inches; steam of $50 pounds
pressure per square inch would there
fore exert n force on the piston equal
to IS, 1I5 pounds, which force is ap-
piled alternately on each side of the
piston ten times in a second.-Chicago

A Tart RetOrt.

A good story is told about former
Governor George s. Houston. Houston
and one of the public men now distin-
guished in the public life of the state
had an appointment to deliver public
speeches. They had to drive n long
distance before dinner time and arriv-
ed at farmhouse i'll time for dinner.
Houston was sick. His companion had
ravenous appetite.
Mr. Houston" said the housewife,
with some Indignation. Il see you ain't [
eating much. | know the dinner amt
much. but it is the best could get up.
I'm sorry you don't appreciate the din
ner"
My good woman, the dinner is per-
feet. but | am i'll. In addition to that
have got to make 4 speech Immediate
ly, and can't speak well after eating
freely"
Yes" said the good housewife, with
spirit. its just like this-an empty
wagon makes the loudest noise" Hous-
ton was silent. The other man ate
ravenOusly.-B (Ala.) Age

The captain,s Sentiment.

"We'd had brush with the Indians
on No Mans creek" said the cavalry
sergeant, "and had driven them out of
the cottonwoods, when we caught sight
of Il warrior trying towork in on our left
flank. Three or four of the boys turn
ed loose on him and drove him off, but
he was soon replaced by two others.
They We're beaten off to be replaced by
five or six. We couldn't at first make
out what they were up to, but by and
by we discovered that their objective
point was Il thicket on our front center.
Then it was easy to conclude that some
warrior of prominence was in that
thicket. dead or wounded. and that the
object was to carry him off.
Our captain gave orders to cease fir
ing. He wanted those redskins to un-
derstand that COmpan& u had too
much honor to fire upon a wounded foe
and too much mercy to shoot down
those who would carry away the dead
for burial. We lay there and let the
Indians dash up with yell. and two
minutes later, as they rode off with
whoopS and cheers. we We're all Shak-
ing with laughter. They were not after
a dead or wounded buck, but what
they wanted and what they got We're
two kegs of whisky which had been
hidden there.
Our captain didn't catch on until too
late, and then he jumped up and down
and told us to blaze away. We blazed
away, but though we fired away SO
worth of Uncle Sans good cartridges,
we didn't even Craze a pony."-Cleve-
land Plain Dealer.

Glory No Temptation.

A few years ago the river drivers
were working on the west branch.
The logs had jammed into a nasty
snarl and no one hankered for the job
of going out with a cantdog and start
ing the key log. In the crew was an
Indian who was noted for his cool
ness and his keenness. The boss final
" looked over in his direction. la
coote," he said, you go out and break
that jam, and I'll see that you get a
nice pun in the paper"
The redskin looked at the logs and
then at the boss. Dead Injun look
nice on paper" he grunted, and walk
ed away.-Aroostook (Ale) Pioneer.

SEVERE WINDST0RM
SWEEPS ST. MICHAEL

ST. MICHAEL, July 28-The most Sc
we're summer windstorm seen here in
many years swept over this bay yester-
day from early morning until nearly mid
night. Boats anchored in the stream
were torn from their fastenings and
either swept ashore or sent flying sea
ward. The direction of the wind was
southeast. Fortunately no lives were lost
as the majority of the vessels wrecked
were small steamers, built in 1897 for the
Koyokuk rush and which since early
spring have been idle at anchor in the
bay.
Their owners in many instances have
either gone to Cape Nome or Golovin Bay
giving up all hope of selling or leasing
their vessels. The damage will amount
to many thousands of dollars. Beginning
about o'clock in the morning, the We
locity of the wind increased until it ap-
preached a hurricane at noon. Ocean
craft and large river steamers tugged at
their ponderous anchors firmly rooted in
the mud, but try as he would the storm
king was unequal to the task and turned
attention to the smaller fry with great
success, as the beach for several miles
will testify.
The point of land on which the Alaska
Commercial COmpany's plant is built got
the full benefit of the wind and consider
able damage would have occurred had
