Hot Weather Dyspepsia
Thousands Suffer From 1t at This Season
of the Year.

Hot weather dyspepsia may be recog-
niZed by the following symptoms: Depres-
sion of spirits, heaviness and pain in the
stomach after meals, loss of flesh and appe-
tite, no desire for food. bad taste in the
mouth, especially in the morning, wind in
stomach and bowels, irritable disposition,
nervous weakness, WEAKNESS, coStiveness,
headache, palpitation, heartburn. 1t is a
mistake to treat such troubles with "tonics, y
because the whole trouble is in the stomach.
1t is indigestion or dyspepsia and nothing
else.
All these symptoms rapidly disappear
when the stomach is relieved strengthen
ed and cleansed by Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets. They should be taken after
meals and few carried in the pocket to be
used whenever any pain or distress is felt
in the stomach. They are prepared only
for stomach troubles.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are indorsed
by such physicians as DIR. Harlandson,
DR.. JennisOn and DIR. Mayer, because they
contain the natural digestive acids and
fruit essences which when taken into the
stomach cause the prompt digestion of the
food before it has time to ferment and sour,
which is the cause of the mischief.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are pleasant
to take and unequaled for invalids, chill
dren and every person afflicted with i'm
will cure any form of stomach trouble
except cancer of the stomach.
Nearly all druggists sell Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets, full sized packages, at so
cents. A book on stomach troubles and

NEWS OF THE WEEK.
THE TRANsyAAL rRoUBLEs.


The latest cabegrams from South Africa
| talk of various semi-official missions for
negotiations between Cape Town, Bloem-
fontein and Pretoria, aiming to arrange
franchise compromise on a basis OF lve or
six years past residence.
President Kruger is represented as agree
able to some such arrangement. but as find
ing considerable difficulty in handling his
own conservative elements.
l. In reported interview he is alleged to
have said regarding the war r1morS that
mountains were being made out of mole
hills and that he was firmly convinced
that Queen Victoria would never allow
letting loose the dogs of war over South
Africa.
Joseph Chamberlain, Secretary of State for
the Colonies, addressing the Unionists of
Birmingham, England, on j une 27 ,revlewed
carefully the Transvaal question. 's In the
course of his speech he said that, owing to
the enormous military preparations of the
Government of the South African Republic,
Great Britain had been compelled to. in
crease the British garrison in Cape Colony
and Natal, entailing an additional eX-
penditure of f50O,000 annually.
If the reforms which Lord 1sipon pro-
posed in 1894 had been accepted, said the
Minister, there would have been no raid
and no crisis at the present. But the raid
prevented the application of pressure.
Mr.. Chamberlain said the Government
had tried to establish friendly relations
with President Kruger, but all their ad-
vances had been received with contempt.
He then proceeded to eulogize Sir Alfred
Miner, Governor of Cape Colony and Brit
ish High Commissioner for South Africa.
The Government accepted full response
bility for the actions of that official. AS for
the counter proposals of Mr.. Kruger, they
did not constitute even fair installmento of
reform. He said:
1--WE hope the efforts that are now being
made will lead to an amicable arrange
ment, for Great Britain only desires justice,
but there comes a time when patience
can hardly be distinguished from weak
ness and when moral pressure becomes
farce that cannot be continued without loss
of self-respect.
meeting of 1000 Loya,ists, under the
Presidency of the Mayoriwas held at Cape
Town June 2S, and adopted, with the
greatest enthusiasm, resolutions support
ing Sir Alfred Miner. Governor of the
Colony and British High Commissioner in
South Africa. in his recent negotiations

Canadians and Australians for their offers
of assistance. An immense overflow meet

NEWS OF A DISASTER AT HOME.
1t was Sunday, and my thoughts went
back to the quiet, peaceful Sabbath of New
England. AT home, as l afterwards
learned, my father and mother, as they
were returning from church, saw upon a
newspaper bulletin board in big letters the
words:
Great battle at Petersburg! Terrible
slaughter of the Colored troops!''
The Monday morning papers of Worces-
ter confirmed the story of the disaster, but
gave no particulars. They waited i'm
patiently for the New York papers. The
train was late. At last it came, and they
obtained paper. There was the regiment:
"3Oth u. s.; Col. ID. Bates, mOrtaliy wound
ed; Maj. Robert Leake, mortaliy wounded;
Capt. Woodward, slightly wounded; Capt.
Quimby and Capt. Seagrave, missing;
Lieut.. Adams, severely wounded; Lieut..
Edgerton, right arm amputated, and so on
a long list. Fifteen out of % officers and
said. Of Co. A only Is now remained out
Of SO. My name was among the number
reported missing" but it was so hopelessly
miSSpelled that even my own parents could
not recognize it, Even the poor honor OF
having my name appear in the newspapers
was denied mel
Then my parents waited for a letter
Eight days after the battle it came. 1t was
from Capt. Smith, and it said:
''The last l saw of your son was when he
was keeping up the men to the line. l
think and hope that he is a prisoner. His
body was not among the dead which were
brought into our lines by flag of truce"
Then followed words of comfort kindly
expressed, but they were little needed by
my anxious parents. For six weeks no
tidings came to them, and hope had almost
died out; but one day came the long-looked-
for letter from me.
1t was only a scrawl, written on a dirty
piece of paper, which had been used on a
tobacco package. This is what it said:
=" L"PETERSBURG, VA, July 81, 1864.

able run down human constitutions. The
co1tish arrive on the coast of Norway dur
ing January and February and the run
continues until the end of April. The num-
her of fish rivals that of the great salmon
runs on our own northwest coast. Over
10, 900, ,000, 900 Goldfish are estimated to have
crowded into one ford recently. Yet this
was only one shoal in hundreds. The aver
age seasons catch at LofOten alone ranges
from 10, 900, 900 to 50 900, 900, depending not
Oh the supply of fish, but on the variable
weather conditions.
1t Is probably the advantageous forma-
ton of the land that causes the fish to
come to Lofoten every year. The Lofoten
isla ads extend in rocky chain along the
northwest coast of Norway The arm of
the sea which divides them from the coast
is called the Vestfjord. The islands them
selves are. separated from one another, by
marrow channels throslghf which the sea
! rushes with the force of 0rranti every
time the tide rises and falls, There are a
from the .Yestfjord. 1t is IN these waters
that the goldfish come every year to spawn.
The fish generally swarm on the banks
surrounding the islands, but sometimes
shoai will wander into one of the inlets
and then it is that the terrific crowding
mentioned above occurs. The Ostnoesf ;ord
is an inlet nine miles in length and one
mile In width. The ten billion, fish men,
toned crowded themselves into this narrow
strait, and because of lack of swimming
space. We're compelled to stay there nearly
three weeks. Between the depth of 16 and
40 fathons the fish were packed together
so closely as to leave barely sufficient
room to move. and the crews of $500 boats
We're constantly at work hauling fish away
There may have been more than 10, O,OO0,-
0oO,O0o fish present, as this estimate is
based on the assumption that each fish
would monopoliZe ten times its bulk of
water IN which to swim. although reliable
witnesses state that none OF the fish could
have had this amount at its disposal. Thir-
teen million fish were captured in the inlet,
before the school was able to loosen itself
from between the wedge formed by the
shores OF the inlet asld scurry off to the
deep sea. Meantime. however hundreds
of other fishing boats were at work cap
turing the col, which were swimming in
numerous schools out by the islands From
this some estimate of the remarkable guam
tity offish which come annually to Lofo-
ten may be formed
One OF the remarkable features of these
fishing operations is that. while the cod
are running. no other fish can be found on
the coast. Whether they know enough by
instinct TO leave before the cod appear. or
whether the school in its progress devours
everything that comes in its way, is not
easily determined. but it is fact that
even the herring used by the fishermen as
bait have TO be imported from a distance.
The condition. however, is a very fortu-
nate one for the cod liver oil manufac-
turer5.
