A COMMON TROUBLE.
Thousands Suffer From 1t
Without Knowing Its Real
Character,

No trouble is more common or more
misunderstood than nervous dyspepsia
People having it think that their nerves
are to blame, are surprised that they are
not cured by nerve medicines and spring
remedies; the real seat of 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 symptoms or
stomach weakness. Nervous dyspepsia
shows itself not in the stomach so much
as in nearly every other organ; in some
cases the heart palpitates and IS irreg-
ular; IN others the kidneys are affected;
in others the bowels are troubled, with
loss of flesh and appetite, with the accu-
mutation Of gas. sour rtsings and heart
burn.
Mr.. A w Sharper Of No 81 Prospect

lows: "A motive of pure gratitude
prompts me 10 write these few lines re-
garding the new and valuable medicine,
Stuart Dyspepsia Tablets. l have been

LEGALITY OF
THE TAX LEVY
IS DISPUTED
County Officials Say
It Is Invalid.

Was the tax levy fixed on Monday by
the Supervisors fnvahdated by the fact
that the park fund was allowed but 0535
on the dollar instead Of .06, as required
by statute? That question was discussed
at greater length yesterday by the pow
erty-strieken heads Of municipal depart
ments and their employees than any mat
ter Of business that came into the City
Hall during the day. A rumor that the
levy was invalid was started on the
rounds early in the morning, and the
spirits OF those whose salaries were
locked and whose appropriations were
cut to the minimum went up like sum-
mer resort thermometer That there was
some foundation for the belief was dem
onstrated by a glance at the statutes.
The particular clause which IS Intended
TO assure funds for park purposes reads
as follows:
The Board OF Supervisors, Municipal
Council or other legislative body Of any
city or city and county in the State, hav-
ing within it's limits parks and grounds
under the control and management OF a
Board Of Park Commissioners and OF an
area or acreage of more than ten acres,
Is hereby authorized and empowered to
levy and collect each year in the mode
prescribed by law for the levy and col
lection of taxes d tax of not less than s
nor more than 10 cents upon each SlOO on
the assessed valuation OF taxable prop
erty within such city OF city and county
for the purpose OF preserving, maintain
ng and improving the parks and grounds
under the control Of such Board OF Park
Commissioners.
To this section the Park Commissioners
called the attention of the Board OF Su-
perviscrs when il submitted its hrst levy
but when the levy adopted by the board
on Monday was considered on Sunday by
the Mayor and Supervisor Perrault they
decided 10 ignore it and fix a lower ng-
ure They contend now that even II the

pISOWNlNG AN OFFSPRING.

If, as certain crafty Republican poll
ticians affirm, their next national plat
form denounces trusts, it will not only
be an innovation for them, but the per-
Torrance will resemble the disowning
of child by its parents.
The Republican party is the acknowi-
edged father of the trusts. In order TO
escape the responsibility it will not
only have to abandon the offspring, but
disgrace the mother, the protective
tariff which is the mother of all trusts.
according to Havemeyer and Carnegie,
two trust presidents and organizers
with millions obtained through Repub-
lican protection.
1t will be necessary, if tone of SIN
certify is to be given to their hypocrlti-
cal denunciation of the trusts, to ex-
plain a great many things in connec-
ton with them. 1t will be advisable
TO do some antitrust legislation, IN
the meantime. when the next congress
meets. Republicans may be asked why
it is that trusts have multiplied so rap
idly under the present administrations;
why they have increased at a greater
ratio during the past three years than
in all previous time; why they are
multiplying more rapidly in this coun
try than in all the other countries of
the earth; why they are alarming even
protectionists themselves into threaten
ing to reduce or abolish the tariff on
certain articles in self-defense.
1t may be explained that the trust
privileges enjoyed by capitalists in this
country are rewards Mark Hanna
promised and gave in return for the
sound money with which he made his
fight three years ago. The men who
own the trusts today are the ones who
put up the campaign fund so disgrace
fully employed to debauch American
manhood in 1896. Is not the chairman
of the Republican national committee
himself true representative of trusts?
Is not the attorney general, whose duty
it is to prosecute these unlawful and
harmful combinations of wealth, a
trust attorney from the greatest trust
producing state of the republic?
Then why should the people pay any
attention to the antitrust pretensions
of the trust-creating, trust-protecting
party?

fastens the petiole of the leaf to its
branch. But when he chooses a leaflet
of compound leaf like hickory for
his hammock, he fastens the leaflet TO
its midrib and then fastens the mid
rib to the branch. In the case figured
here the leaf is a simple one. but the
clever fellow concluded that his weight
was too much for the twig to which his
leaf was attached. So he made him
self doubly secure by fastening the
twig to the larger branch. This ex-
ceptional case was chosen for illustra-
ton to show the strength of the silk.
The cocoon was made two years ago
and the band of silk is so strong that
the growing branch could not burst it,

A most interesting and instructive
lesson in nature study may be obtained
by gathering the promethea caterpil-
lars and feeding them in cages made by
putting mosquito netting over branches
of the food plant. Fresh branches may
be given them from day to day and
they may be observed while they fasten
their leaf hammocks and weave about
themselves their winter blankets.
These moths recognize their mates
from afar by some mysterious means
unfathorSed by our dull senses. 1t is
an interesting experiment to place a
female promethea in a mosquito netting
cage in an open window during an af-
ternoon and see the great number of
suitors that will gather around her
prison seeking for her favor.

Conductor Laughed Last.

Some bright young men are employed
on the street railways of Massachusetts.
1t was with the hope of ''April-fool-
ing one of them, says the Brockton
ENTERPRISE, that his girl friends" bor-
rowed a dressmaker's dummy. They
clothed il becomingly, and at the pro-
per moment stood it behind pole. with
one of its hands outstretched as if to
stop the car.
The motorman unsuspectingly stop
ped, and the conductor waited for the
passenger to get aboard. AS there was
no apparent movement, tie conductor
swung his head round the corner and
inquired if the lady wanted to take
that car. At this point there was a
scream of delight from nearby
house and a chorus of female voices
rang forth cheerily in April fool,'
The conductor never changed express
sion He stepped from the car, care
fully lifted the dummy aboard, and on
they went. Upon his return trip he
found some young ladies with serious
faces waiting for him.
You must return that dummy de-
clared one of them, in fearful tone
I'VE borrowed it, and have got to re-
turn it,
That's nothing to do with me-" re-
piled the conductor. cheerfully. I've
taken the lady to Bridgewater and back
and if you want her, there is 20 cents
in fares TO be paid"
Appeals were vain, and at last, in
desperation, the fares were settled and
the dummy returned. Even the young
ladies acknowledged there is question
as to who was fooled.

The Cough Sounded skeptical

A young fellow of an Oxford college
tells curious little anecdote about Mr..
Gladstone's visit to the college in 1892.
The distinguished guest was standing
with back to the fire, narratins some
"reminiscences of his university days.
Yes, SIR he was saying, Il set eyes
on him then for the first and last time,
and that must have been-let me see
fully sixty years ago" At that point
the young fellow, who was sitting at
the corner of the fireplace, and was
afflicted with a cold, happened to
cough slightly. Instantly Mr.. Glad
stone wheeled round, and, making a
courteous bow, said, with his usual
emphasis: Thank you, sir. thank you
am obliged to you for that correction.

have no doubt. L should have said
fifty years, or fifty-five at the outside.
The confusion of the young don, who
had not the honor of the great mans
acquaintance, and from whose mind
nothing was further than to interrupt
his flow of eloquence by word or sign,
may be easily imagined.

When the nest is nearly finished the
wasp mother starts out on a hunt for
provisions to store within it. She is
keen-eyed, and she soon discovers some
unWary caterpillar, upon which she
pounces as a hawk would upon a
mouse The moment she seiZer the cat
erpillar in her jaws she thrusts her
sting into him, which soon puts a stop
to his powers of squirming. The effect
of this sting is magical, and yet We
do not know how to explain it. 1t
paralyzes the victim without killing
him; and although he is unable to take
any more food for weeks, the cater
pillar remains as plump as at the mo-
ment he was stung: usually he is able
TO stir very little, but often seems
truly dead. Some hold the theory that
the power of the waSp's sting lies in
the place of its insertion; that she Sc
lects certain point in the caterpillar
nervous system and stingS it unerring-
ly, thus bringing on paralysis. Others
hold that with the sting some subtle
fluid is injected into the victims body
which brings on paralysis and keeps
the tissues from decay.
The wasp carries her helpless prey to
her nest and places him within it, and
then goes hunting for more. From our
standpoint she is a useful little crea-
ture, as she is partial to orchard pests,
especially the canker worm. When she
has packed her little mud jug full OF
meat warranted to keep fresh until
used. she lays an egg in it, and then
