ODD ARTESIAN WELLS.
Bored at an Angle Instead Of Straigh
Down.

Bored at an Angle Instead of Straight
Down.
"a very unique system of artesian
wells is being put in by one Of the brew
cries at st. Louis" said II. E. Geth, of
ST. Louis THE wells may not be ex-
actly artesian wells, but the water OBJ
tanned from them is clear and sweet.
and the average man knows no better.
These wells, instead Of being bored per-
pendicularly, are driven at an angle
which varies from one Of As degrees to
others more acute.
'This may sound to you like fairy
tale, but it's fact, curious though it
may be- Underlying the territory
around st. Louis is a thick layer of
hard limestone which has proved no end
of trouble to well borers. No good ar
tesian water is possible without passing
through this bed of limestone and to
do this is an awful job and costly
one. In order to get around this OBJ
stacle an ingenious well man UP there
has devised the filter well, like the one
! first spoke ola we'll which to all in
tent and purpose is artesian, but really
gets it's water from the Mississippi
river
eat St. Louis the sand beds in the
bottom of the Mississippi are quite deep,
and this natural feature has been utiliz-
ed in very unique manner, From
barge in the middle of the river, in a
direct line from the point where the
well is to be sunk civil engineer takes
soundings and determines accurately
the depth of the sand stratum beneath
the river. He then measures the dis
lance from the plant where the well is
to be to the middle Of the river. From
his measurements he calculates the
angle necessary to strike the sand
stratum at its lowest point starting
from the point where the well is desir-
ed, as well as the amount Of tubing
required for the well, and with these
figures starts the well digger on his
curious task.

ARNOLD'S BIRTHDAY.
January 3rd Was the Date, and the
Year Was 1740.

January 3rd Was the Date, and the
Year Was 1740
A local student Of history calls at
tention to the fact that Wednesday was
the birthday of our somewhat talked
about fellow townsman, Benedict Ar
mold. He was born in Nowich, Jan.
3rd, 17d0. and died in 1901. Arnold's
military career was a glorious one up
to the date of his treason at West
Point. He aided Ethan Allen in the cap
ture of Ticonderoga and led an expedi-
ton through the wilderness to Quebec,
where he was wounded. He fought with
great skill on Lake Champlain while
in command of flotllla. At Bemis'
Heights he commanded the left wing
Of the American army and few days
later performed heroic deeds at Still
water, where he was again wounded.
After his desertion to the British he en-
gagged in a warfare of burning and
pillage on the James river and in Vir-
ginia.-Norwich Bulletin.

A DARK HOUR FOR ENGLAND.

There was very dark day OF" Black
Friday" 1745, when the Young Pretend
er, with the Highland clansmen, was at
Derby, with nothing between him and
London but Cumberland's half-organiz-
ed, half-hearted force at Finchley, and
when a French invasion, supported by
a great Jacobite rising all over Eng
land, appeared imminent. Again there
We're some gloomy days in the Autumn
of 1881, when England, badly worsted
on land by American colonists, had
temporarily lost the command of the
sea, and was opposed to coalition OF
the Maritime States of the world. She
had the three great navies Of the Con-
tinent-those Of France, Spain, and
4 acknowledgements her, at the same time
that the northern powers with Russia
at their head, had constituted the arm
ed neutrality, which was mainly IN
/ tended to hamper and limit the British
naval operations. While CORVALLIS
was playing out the last scene of the
losing military drama in Virginia, the
| fleets of England for once found them
selves unable to face the enemy. In
spite of Rodney's capture of st. Eusta-
| tia, the allies under De Grasse were too
strong for us In the West Indies, and
| in the European waters we were so
weak that we could do nothing to avert
the surrender of Minorca, the gem of the
Mediterranean. Suffren had baffled us
in the Indian Ocean, and even in the
Channel and the North Sea, after Hyde
Parker's indecisive action off the Dogg-
erbank, we could barely hold our own,
lo, 10 iot Of q
French attack on Jersey. But the worst
of all our bad moments was assuredly
that which came upon us in the Spring
of 1897, when to many other misfortunes
and anxieties there was added the APP
palling news of the mutinies at Spit
head and the More. Lord Roseberry, in
recent speech, has called this period
the most critical in the whole modern
history Of Great Britain, and the esti-
mate does not seem excessive.
Never certainly since the age of Eliza
BETH had such tremendous forces been
arrayed against England; never had
her rulers to deal with so many stimuli
taneous difficulties, foreign and do
nestle
Pitt and his colleagues might well
have lost their nerve at the prospect
which faced them, when they heard that
a naval rebellion at the mouth OF the
Thames had been added to their per-
plexities. Everything" as historian
of the period says, seemed to be fall
ing at once. Their armies had been de-
feated, the Bank had suspended pay
ment, and now the fleet, the pride and
glory Of England. appeared on the point
of DESERVING the national colors." The

MUSCLE AND NOT FAT
What Thin People Need to Round on
the Corners.

What Thin People Need to Round OF
the Corners.
What thin folks need is flesh or
muscle, not fat.
To be symmetrical and properly
proportional every person should
have certain amount of excess
flesh, but to be plump does not
necessarily mean OF be fat.
Fat is undesirable; it clogs and
retards the action of the muscles,
interferes with the healthy action
OF the heart and lungs and when
very excessive predisposes too fat
ty degeneration of vital organs, to
say nothing Of the discomfort re-
sulting from too much adipose It's
sue.
Common sense would suggest
that if one wishes to become fieshv
and plump the thing most needed
would be flesh forming food, that
is albuminous foods like eggs, beef,
oatmeal, etc.
The kinds OF food which make
flesh are the foods we have on
our tables every day; but the
trouble is that our stomachs, from
weakness or arrangement of some
kind do not promptly and proper
ly digest it.
Really, the principal reason so
many people remain thin is be-
cause their stomachs do not prop
erly digest and assimilate the flesh
forming beef5teak and eggs we
eat every day.
There are thousands OF such peo-
pie, and they are really dyspeptics
although they may not suffer any
particular pain or inconvenience
from their stomachs.
If such persons and all thin peo-
pie, would take after their meals
some simple and natural diges-
tive, like Stuart's dyspepsia Tab
lets, the food would be quickly di-
gested and the proper degree of
plumpness very soon result because
these tablets are prepared exactly
for that purpose. They digest ev-
cry variety of flesh forming food,
which is the real reason why they
50 quickly build up and strength
en- thin, dyspeptic men and wo-
men.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets cure
every form of indigestion On this
common sense plan, that they thor
oughly digest the food promptly,
giving strength to every nerve and
organ in the body, and the weaken
ed stomach a chance to rest and
recover its natural vigor. Moth
ing further is required to cure
any stomach trouble, except can
Ger of the stomach. They make
thin, dyspeptic people strong,
plump and well.
This excellent preparation is sold
so cts for full sized treatment by
all druggists in United States,
Canada and Great Britain.

ing the Shiny mud over a larger area.
On the wharf proper all passengers
to the boats must wade through a

Even very temperate mode of liv-
ing in regard to food beverages will
not avail if the use of coffee is con-
tinued:
A Virginia lady, Mrs. R. F. Miller,
Of Bedford City, says that she was
very temperate in every way. Il did
not suspect that coffee was the pols-
or that was undermining my whole
nervous system, causing condition
of vertigo and headaches, until the
attacks became so frequent and VIC

all kinds of work and forced to lie

'My attention was drawn to Postum
Food Coffee by the experience of some
Others in regard to common coffee and
the thought occurred to me that per-
haps coffee was the cause of my troub-
lie, SO l began to use Postum, being
careful to have it made according 20
the directions on the package.
Il did not have to cultivate a taste
for it, for l found on the start that it
was most delicious beverage.

they did not like Postum but in each
case | discovered upon inquiry that it
was because they tried to make it like
common coffee, that is, boil it four or
five minutes. This will not do. for
one cannot get the delicious flavor and

only requires little patience to bring

Another Coal Boat Stage Coming.

Another COut Boat stage Coming.
The rains of yesterday were general
through the region of the three rivers,
and another good coal boat stage is
expected to-day at Pittsburg and will
reach here tomorrow The river con-
tinued to fall at Pittsburg uatil two
o'clock, when it became stationary,
and last evening began rising, and if
the predicted rains continue in the re-

big river here Friday, but will not be
as large as the one of a week ago.
There was no coal sent south yes

thought that by the time the rise is at
its height enough of the coal boats
will have come up from down the river
