MAKE a TEST OF sTUART'S DYS-
PERSIA TABLETS,

No trouble is more common or more
misunderstood than nervous dyspepsia
People having 1t think their nerves are to
blame and are surprised that they are not
cured by nerve medicines. The real seat
OF the 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 OF
stomach weakness. Nervous dyspepsia
shows itself not in the stomach so much as
in nearly every organ In some cases the
heart palpitates and is irregular; in others
the kidneys are affected, in others
the bowels are constipated, with head

duct when arraigned in court this morning.

AUSTRALIAN CATTLE-RUSH.
W hen n Stampede Occurs the Very
Best Of Horsemanshfp Is
Called For.

When a cattle-rush comes in the
h.ackest of the night, among thick
standing, low-Iimbed trees, with the
nature and levels of the country I'M
known and invisible, to stem il calls
for the finest and fiercest quality of the
horseman, says a writer in Harpers
Magazine. AS he lodges, swerves, and
clines in the saddle to avoid muiiation
from the rushing trees, he must see to
il also that the horse shall win TO the
lead of that laundering multitude be-
side him, if hands and spur may COM
pass it. And when he does, the mad
des1 of the danger is still to come. The
riders hands must do double duty now
as he lets loose the whip and guides the
horse as well. The rout must be turned
and directed against itself. The horse
is dragged inward. the whip Kisses and
falls: the man, silent until now, opens
throat and lungs in the stockman's bat
tle-cry. If the leading cattle swerve
and swing away, carrying confusion
among the rest, and breaking the di-
rectness of the rush, it is the finest mo-
ment of the droyer's life. As the beasts
that come laundering blindly on feel
the scorching of the thong on head and
flank, and hear the note of mans SUI
premacy that they have feared since
branding-time. the eddy spreads.
The blind rush becomes maelstrom.
the maeistrom spreads into eddies of
confusion--the clash of horns and hinge
Ties down and spreads out. When the
sound arises of big muzzles blowing
and nibbling at the grass. the horse
man knows that his danger is past.
Low down in an embrasure of the woods
white planet burns; ii is the herald
of the dawn.

WOMEN OF BABYLONIA.
inrriage Contracts 2.JOO Years Ago
We're Very Carefully
Drawn Up.

A recent treatise by Victor Marx, a
German scientist, defines the position
Of women in Babylonia during the peri
ID of 604-4S5 B. c., as illustrated by the
contract literature of the times. The
contracts indicate that Babylonian
naidens held property in their own
right, and that there were definite
marriage stipulations relating TO
lowry incidentally indicating the de-
nendence of the son on his fathers
wishes in the choice of wife.
The dowry contracts were definite.
stating the amount and nature of the
property to be given, providing for pay
nent by installments aud arranging
or payment by brother in case of the
'ather's decease, the dowry being re-
rarded as q legally collectible debt,
payable in kind if money were lacking.
The legal recipient of the dowry was
he son-in-law, yet the daughter (wife)
'etaired such proprietary interest
herein that. if invested in realty by the
husband, it was in his wife's name.
There are indications that husband
and wife enjoyed approximately equal
lights with respect TO property. the
ontrol of children. etc; there is little
reference TO the husbands duty to sup
oort the wife, though it appears that in
,ase of divorce the husband paid ali
nony according to his means.
Apparently the regulations govern
rig the contracts studied pertained
hiefy to urban life; certainly the reg
uia;ions seem hardly in accord with the
customs prevailing among contem-
Norary nomadic tribes. and still main
tanned among their descendants of sim
liar habit.

TENOR MADE A BIG HIT.
He Couldn't Understand Why an
Audience Laughed at His
Love Song.

The tenor of local concert company
made the hit of his life recently. 1t was
at an entertainment in a town within
100 miles of Chicago, and it is safe to
say that the tenor's voice will never be
heard in that place again, says the In
ter Ocean.
He is tall and angular, built rather on
the fence-rail plan of architecture, aud
is, withal, rather excessively digniiied.
On this occasion he had been intrusted
with the duty of opening the bali
with comic solo. Although comedy is
not exactly the tenor's strongest hold,
he found this time before he had fairly
commenced that he had the large audi
ence with him, and he sailed in and did
his best.
From start to finish he was greeted
with applause-and at .he end of the
verse here was such a storm Of laugh
ter, hand-clapping and even cheers
that the singer felt obliged to respond
to the encore.
AS soon as he could make himself
heard he essayed a love song, but be-
fore he had sung ten words the laughter
broke out afresh. In vain he threw his
soul into the tender words. II was no
go, and the hilarity of the audience in
creased until at the close of the first
verse he rushed bewildered and furious
from the stage, amid an nproar 81 eater
than before.
Behind the scenes he found the other
members Of the company speeches.
with laughter, and it was several min
utes before they were able TO elucidate
The cause. The tenor, before leaving
his hotel, had pinned up the tails Of his
G:ess coat to keep them from showing
below the bottom of his short summer
overcoui, and mpon arriving at the hall
he had forgotten to unpin them. The
spectacle of the coattails pointing sky
ward was too much for the ris,blitics
of the audiences, and the tenor could not
he induced to sing again that night.

A HEROIC NUN.
Rewarded by the King of the Dei-
Eians for Her Noble Conduct
as Nurse.

King Leopold has just bestowed on
Sister Teresa Hickey an English nun
of the Apostoline community estab-
lished in Belgium. the civic medal of the
first class Ga decoration Instituted as a
reward of conspicuous civic merritt, in
recognition of her heroic services to
the people during the outbreak of a ter
iible epidemic which ravaged the dis
trict of Oordegem. in Flanders. So
rreat was the CONSERVATION of the in
tabitants that no one would venture to
approach the honses in which The vic
tins lay dying, says the Westminster
Gazette. During the panic Sister Teresa
volunteered to gro and tend the unfor-
tunate sufferers, for whom purses could
not be found. For several weeks she de
voted herself day and and night 10 the
noble work Of ministering TO the sick
and dying, receiving no other assistance
than that given by the clergy of the
parish. With unfagging devotion the
brave woman remained unflinchingly
at her post of duty until the epidemic
abated. although almost broken down
by her untiring efforts.
Public manifestations of gratitude
for her inestimable services were rem
dered by the people, and her conduct
having come under the notice of the
government, the king has rewarded her
self-sacrifice by bestowal of the honor
mentioned. Sister Teresa has been in
Belgium for nearly 30 wears.

A herd was duly surrounded by the
capturing party; and with the wonder
fully intelligent aid of their 'kunkies, y
trained elephants, who We're wicked
enough to help make their luckless cou-
sins fast, four or five animals We're tax
en-. Amoung them was q handsome
young tusker about six feet high, and
very active. The rest Of the herd escaped,
and dashed awayin great confusion The
hunting party secured their prizes, and
! conveyed them to the camp.
Early next morning a great stir was
noticed in the ranks of the captured ele-
plants. A huge female was observed
standing beside the prisoned tusker, and
doing her best TO liberate him. 1t was
the calls mother, that had made her way
over eight miles or the country between
the scene of her loss and the hunting
camp. to trace ont her young one and
bring him home. This feat she had &C
complished in the middle of the night,
and through dense forest; nor was it
easy to discover how she had followed
his tracks SO correctly and speedily
The mother and child worked together
excitedly at the nooses and knots. When
the prisoner fell over from exhaustion
the mother tenderly helped him to his
feet, and renewed her labors Her de
votion cost her her liberty; for as she
was giving up the struggle in despair
and moving off, She too, was captured,
and the pair forwarded to the station to-
gether.
