When grip attacks person of
nervous temperament there is
usually great depression of spirits.
the patient is plunged in dppair
and no amount of argument or
raillery has any effect on his misery.
The man or woman whose nerves
become so shattered that it is a
torture to remain in bed. and the
night is passed in a vain attempt to
get little sleep is on the down
grade to nervous prostratinn, insan-
itv and death. There is no time
then to experiment with new and
untired remedies. Neglect or delay
in this respect may prove a fatal
mistake.
DR.. Miles Nervine is the best of
all medicines for the nervous, tired
out and sleepless victim of the grip,
Just as it is the best remedy for all
other weaknesses and disorders of
the nervous system. 1t attacks the

LOCAL ATTRACTIONS.
Every City, Great and Small, Has =
Leader of Some Kind.

Leader of Some Kind.
One who has travelled pretty much
all around the globe, made a peculiar
observation at social gathering few
nights since. He had noted that every
city and almost every village had
dominant attraction, no matter in what
part of the globe the attraction was so
placed. He was somewhat surprised
that Cincinnati had nothing so far out
classed other attractions as to be the
first thing suggested as worth visit.
He was inclined to think that the sum-
mer resorts would have been the thing
in the proper season, and then next
to these the Art museum.
s'Now," he said, IF you go to London
the first thing is, have you seen Wind
sor or the tower? La Paris they say
have you seen the Moulin Rougue or
the Chat Noir? and neither is worth
seeing. In Texas, if you are in San
Antonio, they will say, have you seen
the Alamo? and in San Francisco, have
you seen the Golden gate?
LAS you come east, if you stop in
Salt Lake City, they want to show you
the temple, and in ST. Louis they take
you first to Shaw's garden. Then you're
through with that place unless they in
sist on showing you Simmons, the big
gest hardware house on the earth.
"At Chicago they ask you to visit the
stock yards, and finally ask you if you
are stopping at the Auditorium. OF
course, at Niagara its the falls, and at
Buffalo it's the grain elevators. Once
was in the valley of the Roanoke, il
! Virginia, and a dozen times was asked
ii l had seen the pear orchard of Mr.
Somebody, who has the largest peacf
i and pear orchard in the world.
''In fact, | never was in place any
where in all my travels where there
wasn't an attraction of some kind
though it may have been only factory
or a bit of natural scenery. Every
place has leading attraction, and i
you are a visitor you are sure to b'
made aware of the leading place II
visit. "-Cincinnati Commercial Trib

Three Queer Tennessee Farmers.

Three Queer Tennessee Farmers.
There is in Tennessee a family of
three sisters which presents some of
the most startling peculiarities mag
Unable. The three sisters live together
on a farm, their sole means of sub
sistence, and work early and late to
earn livelihood. Two of them work in
the field; the third does the cooking
and other homework. There is but one
period of the year when any member
of the trio has anything to say to any
other member. All during the winter,
spring and summer they go about their
business with the seal of silence on
their lips. When fall comes and the
crop is harvested they break the ST.
lence, and then only to quarrel over the
division of the proceeds. When each
has succeeded in getting all that she
thinks possible, silence reigns again I'M
til the next harvest time. The sisters,
as you may judge, have made name
for themselves. They are known far
and near as the deaf and dumb trip

Selecting Timber.

A German paper devoted to wood working interests states that In select. ing timber it is of the greatest import. ance to ascertain whether the tree from which it is taken was cut ill the winter or in the summer: that which is cut in the winter being superior and having a higher value. The rec. son for this is that trees have resting period between October and May, during which time the cells contain stareh that is not found in the sum- mer. The starch serves to close the pores. making the wood close and i'm. penetrable, so that winter-hewn tim- Der is used exclusively in making bar rel slaves. To test the timber it is covered with an idode solution, which from the well-known fact that starch coming into contact with iodide pro duees violet color, will give the tim Der a yellow color, if it were cut in the summer. On the other hand, a tree hewn in winter will have series of dark ink-colored stripes on yellow ground.

An Intelligent Bird.

Birds are qgfek-Witted. Listen to this story told by a man: If a small creature like bullfneh can tell when his mistress is going out, and not only that, but will welcome her back with all the noise his little throat can gel out, before she is barely near enough for dog to make out for certain, sch 3 fact alone proves that birds eyes afa far-seeiRg. Many times has my wife placed her bullfnch's cage thu length of three rooms away one leading direct to the other, with the door open; it was rarely closed, and he would be busily engaged on 2 small plum tWig, full Of buds, that 1 had cut for him, whess. just to test his keenness of vision, sne has held the pip from an apple that 1 had been eating between her finger and thumb and stood in the doorway far
 thest from him. The bird looked: down Weet= his twig, out of his cage he dash ed and he was on her shoulder, with crest raised and feathery breast pufed ou.. singing to her for his apple pip.

King q Born speculator.

The King of Belgium is a born spec ulator. From his parents he inherited three-quarters of million sterling With this capital he began to speculate and showed his masterly skill as a fnaneier in his dealings in Panama Canal stock. By judieious buying and selling he is estimated to have made four millions. Then he was seized with the Congo Free State hobby, which obtained such a mastery over him that his financial aeumen was oyerpoWered. and he sank his private fortune in it. Whether it will ever return good value for the money remains to be seen

A veteran cavalry horse partakes of the hopes and fears of battle just the same as his rider. As the column swings into line and waits, the horse grows nervous over the waiting. If the wait is spun out, he will tremble and sweat and grow apprehensiye If he has been six months in the service he knows every bugle call AS the call comes to advance the rider can feel him working at the bit with his tongue to get it between it's teeth. As he moves out he will either seek to get on faster than he should or bolt. He cannot bolt however. The lines will carry him forward. and after minute he will grip, lay back his ears, and one can feel his sudden resolve to brave the worst and have done with it as soon as possible.

Baby,s rooth Set z1n 2 k1ne.

Exclusive young matrens of the smart set who are also doting mothers have just introduced into fashion q neW ring, which is exciting the greatest attention.
 The woman who first wore one of these mysterious rings told all about 1t the other day to 3 girl friend who was admfrins il and Wan1ed to copy it. She said Why, the little white stone wouldn't be considered q gem to any one but me. It is only 9ne of my baby girls peafly white teeth. She knocked out little front tooth not long ago. and as it was too precious to throw away. I took ii to my jewell CTS and asked him if it couldn't be set in ring. And here is the result. I told him to surround the tooth with diamonds and turquoises, alternating with one another, as I think just the touch of blue adds much to the beauty of the ring. The baby tooth encir. cleu with diamonds looks too white. A number of my friends who have copied my idea have taken one of their baby's teeth to the jewellers and had it surrounded with the child's birth stone"

Small Vegetables the Best.

Eplcures are developing q taste for miniature specimens of the earth's products. To supply the demand in larger cities for young vegetables, such as the French consider the most delicate and appetizing, the truck farmers bring to market tiny potatoes. turnips, carrots, eaulifower and even heads of cabbage the size of baseball. Such vegetables are, it is said, more easily digested, their fiber being tender and succulent instead of tough and often of woody nature as the gro1 th arrives at maturity.

Initiative Woman.

Entertainment managers are unani. nous in declaring that no sooner does a man perform q new and daring trick of any kind than they immediately re- ceive offers from women to give the same exhibition or outdo it. Nowadays this is the inyariable rule. Strong wo men, female parachutists, high divers, lion tanners and quick change artists have sprung up in the immediate track of male opponents of these various forms of variety stage talent. Tn many cases the woman has equaled the man and where skill, Reatness and finish are the chief characteristics of perfect rendering the fair imitator usually out. rivals the original performer.

s -----.--l.--.-a HE GOT A LIGHT.
And Was Surprised to 1earn Who Gave

 A member of General Niles stan tells of an incident down at Tampa before the departure of the troops for Santiago. He was standing in the office of the Tampa Bay hotel one even ing, dressed in plain business suit and smoking a cigar, when q tall, raw boned private from the Fifth Mary land regiment strolled ID to him and said:
 "Say, partner, give us Hght.''
 The gentleman addressed put his hand in his pocket, drew out q silver case, took match from it, struck fire and handed it politely to the soldier, who thanked him and lighted his cigar.
 The encounter was witnessed by the porter of the hotel, who watched his chance and said to the soldier:
 Who was that man that gave you the match?"
 q don't know, except that he's gentleman" returned the Maryland boy.
 ''WeIl, I'll tell you who he is," said the porter, "and you won't feel so big when you know. It was Gen. Miles,
 ''The devil 1t wasp was the response, as the soldier walked off in ehagrin. Awaiting his opportunity he stepped ID to the general with salute. and said:
 General, have to apologize for what may have seemed to you an i'm pertinence. But had never seen you before, and you wore nothing to indl- cate your rank, so I took the liberty of addressing yOu as I would any gtrano. CT, and I hope you will excuse me for it."

Perfect Eappiness.

Perfect happiness is not to be won in life's exalted moments. It is in so order ing our daily lives that we are in perfect harmony with those with whom God has called us to live. To be heroic and noble in the eyes of the world will not bring us happiness if our daily associates know us to be mean and selfish in the little actions of everyday toll. "Charity begins at home," and it is tat home'' we must look for happiness if we would have happiness in it's highest and most durable sense. Selected.

4 WONDERFUL CLOCK.
The Nearest Approach to Perpetual Motion machtns Yst Discovered.

Motion Machtne Yet Discovered.
 A Kankakee county, IL, man is the possessor Of one of the most wonderful clocks in the country. This clock is as near a perpetual motion machine as any piece of mechanism yet designed. The owner Is not Q perpetual motion crank, but is jeweler named Peter M. RaYensktlde of Cabery. town in the southwestern portion of Kankakee county.
 The clock is the product of many years of study and labor and consider able expense. It keeps accurate time and will run for year without the least attention from it's owner.
 The clock proper is run with wheel 50 inches in circumference. From the outer surface of the circumference was suspended 120 cups, each one-half inch in diameter and a third Of an inch deep. Each Of forty Of these cups, which are successive, contain steel balls three-eighths Of an inch In diam. eter.
 = - AAA314 dA1 tlld h udll1 do Lllt6 WuEGl turns by the weight of these balls one of them falls out of it's cup, rolls down an inclined plane 20 inches long, when, by its own weight, it reunites broken circuit of electricity and is again ele- yated by a little car travelling along a sleeper inclined plane to the top of the wheel where it falls into a cup which stands vertical for a short time.
 After the car discharges it's cargo it returns to it's original station from it's own weight. From the time one of these balls is dropped into a cup until 1t is again dropped into another cup it travels 36 inches. Thus the work done by all the balls is equivalent to one ball travelling over one mile a day, 400 miles in one year, and during the Iife- time of a person living threescore years the distance around the globe.
 The electricity used is generated in an ordinary storage battery, which does not require any attention for fully a year

The Dupuyer acantha. [volume] (Dupuyer, Mont.) 1894-1904, 1899-11-09

Cars will dart to and from the big
cities like the shuttle in a weaver's
loom. There is no mystery Of etheric
force liquid or compressed air or
vacuum transit interviewer in the pro-
1ect 1t is simply another stride hui
9 ingenuity is about 20 take in util-
iztng electricity, the most potent and
wonderful force that has yet been sub
5ected to mans will. At the recent
convention of the American Society of
Civil Engineers, held at Cape May, the
largest and most important gathering
N the history of the society, Professor
Oberlin Smith, CT Bridgeton, N. j., in
a carefully prepared paper dealing
with the recent improvements in
transportation, said the time was close
at hand when the journey from New
York to Philadelphia could be made in
ene-fourth of the schedule time of the
fastest express train. This was not a
mere flight of the imagination, for he
proceeded to convince his audience,
men of the highest engineering skill
and attainments, that his statements
was easily within the bounds of posi-
bility.
Professor Smith has the reputation
IN the engineering profession of being
a modest, conservative man, of sound
Judgment, and an authority on me-
chanics. He is president of the Fer
racut Machine company, at Bridgeton,
N. j. Professor Smith has given much
attention to the problems which re-
strict the speed Of railway trains, and
has M to the conclusion that the
limit of speed by the use of steam has
been almost reached.
Electricity, however, presents a force
which is restricted crly by the ability
of the engineer to Utilize it. Thus,
quicker travel is a problem which the
machinist and civil engineer rather
than the scientist must solve.
II would like to clear up a m~isappre-
hension that seems to exist in regard
to what I said Of rapid transit at the
Cape May convention" said Professor
Smith, Wien asked to tell how space
could be annihilated at the rata OF
