FACING WIND PRESSURE.
An Engineers Narrow Escape Mt 100
Miles Hour.

FROM the Chicago Inter Ocean.
Speaking of these new turbine boats
that are expected to travel thirty-five. and
forty miles an hour" said an old railroad
engineer, L wonder if they have properly
allowed for the wind pressure. | know a
little something about that myself and |
tell you it's pretty serious matter A
wind that blows forty miles an hour is a
good, stiff breeze. and the weather bureau
calls sixty miles a gale. So if you run
boat forty miles hour through a sta
tionary atmosphere you are bound to stir
up quite a breeze for yourself and If You
should be running into thirty-knot wind
you would have the stiffest kind of a gale
blowing about your decks. In other words,
half the time a man couldn't work unpro-
tected on the deck. Unless he is behind a
wind shield he would be whisked away like
a thistledown.s and even if he could stick
to the ship he couldn't breathe.
The company, had me Studying steam al
one time and got to know considera bic
about wind pressure. I had a little ma
chine that l attached to the cylinder and
1t kept track of the steam all the way
through. used to sit and watch it by the
hour. and in that way | could tell, by cal
culating. just what the engine was doing
and what results we were getting. OF
course. / had to be protected from the wind
and | had a sort of little box alongside
the cylinder, in which / sat. In winter one
side of would be nearly burning and
/
did actually burn my clothing on the en-
CINE side and freeze two toes on the out
side foot.
We'll, to get back 20 the wind pressure.
OF course, / got all kinds. according to cir
cumStances. The worst | ever got was one
day when pushed fast engine for all
she was worth right into IA good, stiff head
wind. The wind blowing about thirty
miles. / should think, and the indicator
showed that the engine was running almost
exactly at the rate Of seventy-eight miles.
That made Mo face wind of all of hun
dred miles an hour. | was all right behind
my box, for | was hidden to my eyes and
the front of it was curved enough to throw
the wind over my head. Then I thought
I'd stand UP and see what il was like
facing a wind current of 100 miles an hour.
Well | stood up and | had all | wanted in
less time than 1t takes to tell it. First, my
tight-fitting cap went. and then my linen
collar and my necktie. | thought my hair
was going. 7 had horrible feeling that
the whole front of my head was as fiat as
a pancake | couldn't breathe In another
instant / should have been pulled bodily
out Of my box. in spite of the grip l had
with both hands.
by a desperate effort l succeeded in
pulling myself down by the streagth Of
my arms and getting behind my wind
shield. 1 was a, thoroughly scared and
over the horror 81 that instant when /

From the San Francisco Chconicle.
A miSer's hoard unearthed in
curious hiding place by Public Administrator
Kellogg. When Herman Keiser, formerly of
San Francisco, was found dead on the
Santa Fe railroad track a few weeks ago
with a bullet in the brain. the coroner's
jury rendered 4 verdict of suicide. People
who knew KeiSer's Industrious and frugal
habits believed that he must have consid-
cradle money laid by. but scarcely enough
funds could be found to defray funeral
penSeS.
KeiSer was a German, about fifty-seven
years old, and lived alone in old shack
near the spot where his body was found.
After the coronerS inquest and burial,
Pubic Administrator Kellogg began max
ing inquiries regarding tho old man
bearded wealth, about which there was
SOM talk, but very little tangible evidence.
1t soon developed. however. that keiser
was in truth not poverty stricken. but was
the owner of several pieces of real estate
of modest value.
As Keiser had been of secretive habits,
the public administrator had a search made
of the shack where he had lived. After
some trouble a trap door in the floor was
discovered. Descent was made to the
gion beloY, but nothing found in the
subterraneau chamber. though the earth
turned up to Il depth of two feet. Mr..
Kellogg not satisfied. however. and
made another visit to the place. and this
time he was rewarded for his peTSistency.
In digging up the floor of the kitchen a
piece of large gas pipe was uncovered. and
this It ceptaci6 contained a pass book of the
German Savings and Loan Society of San
Francisco. which showed that keiSer had
opened an account ten years ago The last
entry showed that he had a deposit there
of over S4Uo There were also deeds and
papers, which enabled the public admins
traitor to straighten cut the estate. which
IS valued at about 81 900

SAN JUAN Porto Rico August 6. 1899
Let us take a trip together over Uncle
Sans new island. I can give you no idea
of its beauty without you go with me. We
will start at Ponce and travel leisurely
across Porto Rico. making notes upon the
way. We shall go over trip I recently
made and reproduce it in the notes | took
on the ground. Our conveyance is a bat
terry wagon. such as is used by Uncle Sam S
Geographic operators in time of war. 1t is
as big as a hall bed room. and so fitted out
with long cushioned seats that we can sit
up or lie down at will. Our motive power
is four of Uncle Sans government mules.
They will go as slow or as fast as we like
and we shall get relays of new mules at
noon every day.

The OLD WAY
OF Treating Dyspepsia and Indigestion
by Dieting, a Dangerous and
Useless One

We say the old way, but really
it is very common one at pres
ent time and many dyspeptics
and physicians as well consider
the first step to take In attempt
ing to cure indigestion is to diet,
either by selecting certain foods
and rejecting others or to greatly
diminish the quantity usually
taken, IN other words, the starva-
ton plan is by many supposed
to be the first essential.
The almost certain failure of
the starvation cure for dyspepsia
has been proven time and again,
but still the moment dyspepsia
makes it's appearance course of
dieting is at once advised.
ALI this is radically wrong. 1t
is foolish and unscientific to rec
commend dieting or starvation to
man suffering from dyspepsia,
because indigestion itself starves
every organ and every nerve and
every fibre in the body.
What the dyspeptlc wants is
abundant nutrition, which means
plenty of good. wholesome, well
cooked food and something to as
sist the weak stomach to digest
it. This is exactly the purpose
for which Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets are adapted and this is
the method by which they cure
the worst cases of dyspepsia, in
other words the patient eats
plenty of wholesome food and
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets digest
1t for him. In this way the sys-
tenn is nourished and the over
worked stomach rested, because
the tablets will digest the food
whether the stomach works or
not. One of these tablets will
digest 5000 grains of meat or
eggs.
Your druggist will tell you
that Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
is the purest and safest remedy
for stomach troubles and every
trial makes one more friend for
this excellent preparation. Sold |
at scots. for full sized package at
all drug stores.

eases mailed free by addressing

1t is held as an axiom among
intelligent teachers that only the
difficulty teaches. What the
mind readily assimiIates is not
such an intellectual disciplinarian
as that which requires intense
effort. Consequently, those stud
les arc always best for the pupil
which require down right intel
lectual work. A scientific jour
nal, calling attention to this phase
of mans makeup, quotes an emf
nent French critic as saying In a
lecture recently in New York
that "to distrust what we like is
the first requisite of progress in
art and in life Isolated, the
statement appears extreme. But
not so taken in it's correction. AS
the journal alluded to suggests,
he does not mean that Disagree
able books are the only books
that we should read. What is
meant is that books worthy of
being read are the books which
open up new field and give us a
new hold, a new view, upon litera-
ture and life. This sort Of book
is not likely to be q well of pleas
ure, which simply reflects what
we have known before and which
is as easy to us as rolling down
hill, to use common expression.
Rather it is the book which en-
cages our powers. 1t is Il sort of
wall which must be dug through
to get at the nuggets of truth,
and the exercise of the digging
enlarges the muscles of the mind,
SO to speak.

Sentimental Consideration

The people who do not believe
in sentiment miss the wine of life.
1t is just that faculty of idealiz-
ing persons and events, and of
lifting them out of the common
place routine of this workaday
world, that opens the channels of
delight in the human heart.
Bring everything down to the
test of the mathematical and de-
monstrable, and you have robbed
human experiences of their sweet
ness and charm, and made the
passage of the days as weari-
some as a table of logarithms.
That was the fault of the old
New England home training. 1t
lacked the element of sentiment,
at least the manifestation of it.
1t was manly and womanly and
strong and true, but it was not
WlnSOme. sometimes, Wnen either
parent came Of another stock,
like the French mother in DR..
Weir Mitchell's story, "Hugh
Wynne,' there was an amusing
clash of natures. You will still find
many traces of the hardness and
self-repression on the New Eng
land soil, but happily they are
passing away, and household life
is far more happy because fathers
and mothers manifest their af-
lection, and believe that senti-
mental considerations have solid
worth; and they are not ashamed
to show that they are influenced
by them.

Almost every man in America
has some digestive trouble. When
men meet, the greeting usually
is, "Well, how are you:" That
develops health talk. The man
who has no bowel or stomach
trouble is almost curiosity.
Trouble is men take no care of
themselves. They eat as though
they had copper stomachs and
bowels of brass. By and by,
overworked nature rebels. Then
come headaches, nervousness,
bad blood, liver and kidney trou-
bles. DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pei

and torpid liver, sick and bilious

LITTLE FEET

Two little feet. so small that both may nestle
In one caresssirg hand;
Two tender feet upon the untried border
OF life's my sterious land;
Dimpled and soft. and pink as peach tree bios
SONS
In April's fragrant days
How can they walk among the briery tangles
Edging the worlds rough ways
These rose-white feet along the doubtful future
Must bear a woman's load;
Alas! since woman has the heaviest burden.
And walks the hardest road
Love for awhile, will make the path before
them
All dainty. smooth and fair.
Will Gull away the brambles letting only
The roses blossom there;
shrOuded
+ Away from sight OF men.
And these dear feet are left without her guild
ing,
Who shall direct them then.
How will they be allured. betrayed. deIuded.
Poor little untaught feet.
Into what dreary maZes will they wander?
What dangers will they meet.
Will they 20 stumbling blindIy in the darkness.
OF sorrows fearful shades.
Or find the upland slopes of peace and beauty.
Whose sunlight never fades?
Will they 20 toiling up ambition summit.
The common world above.
Or. in some nameless vale. securely sheltered
Walk side by side with love.
Some feet there be which walk Iife's track un-
wounded.
Which find but pleasant ways:
Some hearts there be TO which this world is
only
round of happy days.
But they are few. Far more there are who
wander
Without hope or friend.
Who find their journey full of pains and
losses.
And long to reach the end.
How shall il be with her. the tender stranger
Fair-faced and gentle eyed,
Before whose unstained feet the worlds rude
highway
Stretches SO strange and wide:
All who may read the future. For our dar-
ling
We crave all blessings sweet.
And pray that He who feeds the crying ravens |
Will guide the baby's feet.

July l, 1901, when, without fur
ther legislation, 1t will be reduced

ty-five years ago. 1t is under
stood to be temporary measure,
however, and the next Congress
will have power to take up the
whole question and provide a per-
manent army, We need in the
United States itself as much as
one soldier to every thousand of
the population, say regular
army of $4,000, beside the en-
listed men for distant territory,
such as the Filipines. Our little
army should have been doubled
years ago. The friends of the
army bill, however, found that 1T
would be impossible to secure it's
passage at this session, because
of the opposition led by German,
whose term expires this week;
and the dread of an extra session
led to this compromise"
