A SOUR STOMACH
Is Often the Real Cause Of a Sour Temper.

That the condition Of the digestive or
Sans has a marked effect upon the char
acter or disposition is a truism as Old as
tho hills old Zen Johnson wisely said
the pleasure of living depends upon The
liver and it is fact which none may
dispute that a sunny disposition more
often results from healthy digestion
than from any other cause.
Acid dyspepsia commonly called sour
stomach or heartburn, is caused by slow
digestion of food; instead of bcin=
promptly diGested and converted into
blood, bone and muscle, it lies in tn"
stomach for hours, fermcnting md de
.caying, creating gases which cause pres
sure on the lungs and heart, short breath
ana general discomfort and irritation.
Such half digcsted food is indeed poor
nourishmcnt for the body brain and
nerves and the result is. shown in irrit-
able tcmpers, unaccountabie headaches
and that depressing condition usually
called the blues but how quickly ali
these disappear when appetite and diges
ton are restored.
Laxative medicines only irrtatc the
already irritatod stomach and bowels an
have no effect upon actual digestion Ut
food.
The sensible course to follow is ~
make use Of simple natural diGcstivcI
like STARTS Dyspepsia Tablets after

Barre. VT, Dec. 30.-Chief of Police
Patrick Brown. who was shot by ltal-
ian Anarchists, last Thursday morn
ing, was considered to be much worse,
this morning, and the attending ply
sicians were obliged to perform an
operation upon him. They took from
his abdomen just over the left kidney,
a 32-calibre bullet. and this evening,
he is reported to be quite comfortable,
with good prospects of recovery, should
he not suffer a relapse.
The bullet removed, today. was OF
different make from that taken from
Chief Browns foot, last Thursday. al
though both are the same calibre. The
physicians are as yet unable to tell the
exact location of the bullet still re-

hcnd no i'll results from it.
There are now 10 Italians i'll Jail I'M

THE GUILELESs JAILER.
He RepOsed Too Much Confidence IL
His PriAOner.

His Prisoner.
I'VE have some very queer officials in the
country occasionally" said a southern
editor, land now and then man with any
sort of discernment wonders how they can
ever be elected. Still, they are. and what
is stranger, they sometimes hold their Of
fees for years. I remember an old Jailer
we once had, whose name was Butler. He
was a good-nat ured old fellow, guileless as
a gilly, and such an incessant tobacco
chewer that he actually chewed up his
language when he talked.
"On one occasion a notorious criminal
from an adjacent county was captured in
ours. and he was left at the Jail for safe
keeping over night. His captors brought
him to the jail about midnight, and the
jailer took him in, agreeing to have him
ready to ge when they should call for him
in the morning. When morning came the
prisoner had disappeared, and later in the
day / called on the old man to get his YER
sion of the escape for my paper
"'Well, you see.' he said, chewing his
language out in a drawing fashion, it was
this away: When they went away after
givin' me instructions, and 1 started to lock
him up in a cell, he said he hadn't never
been in a prison cell afore in all his life,
and he jis couldn't bar the idee 1t now,
and he would be willin' to pay five dollars
fer somebody to set up and watch him eff
1 would jis let MIN set out In the office. He
wuZ a mighty nice appearin' man, and 1
wuz kinder learnin' his way. but I
told him / didn't see ez how 1 could let him
set out in the office. and. besides, thar
wuZn't nobody at that time Nv night to
set up with him. He said he wuz willin to
pay ten dollars ruther than be shet up in
a cell and break his pore old mothers
heart. I said ten dollars WIZ too much,
anyhow, and that five wuz a-plenty eff We
could find somebody to set up. but we
couldn't. ThenI thought might ez well earn
five dollars ez not myself and lsetch nap
next day, and agreed to set up with him.
He wuz the most gratefulest man you ever
see. and we sot down and got to talkin', fer
he wuz ez smart ez he wuZ nice appearin'.
He said he would pay me in the mornin',
and said 1t would be all right and we KEEP
on talkin'. About o'clock he said he
powerful dry and did 1 have anything
about the house to drink. I said I didn't
have, and he asst eff / could git any any
WHARF. 1 told him 1t wuz mighty doub full
at that time Nv night, and, besides. didn't
have nobody to send after 1t. He said 1
could go and he would not violate the
fldence l had in him by gotn' away durn'
my absence. He tuck out a ten-dollar bill
and told me to pay fer the liquor out Nv
that and I told him I couldn't git 1t
changed at that time Nv night and would
pay fer it myself, and he could give me
back the quarter In the mornin' when he
give me the five dollars. He said that wuz
agreeable to him eff it wuz to me, and so L

FEATHER MAKING.
A Trade That Gives Employment to
Many Women and Girls.

From July to November is our busiest
season. said a leading manufacturer of
feathers in New York to the writer yester-
day. and for the next five months there
will be steady employment for the 1000
girls and women who work at the trade
In this city. The designers and skilled
hands. who are much sought after. earn
from s25 to $50 week. while the begin
ners. or girls who twist paper round the
wires and work at the simplest steps in the
process, can make from s1.59 to s. a week.
1t takes an intelligent and wide-awake
girl about two years to learn the business.
longer to become expert, but once she has
acquired the knack she is sure of earning
good wages all the year round. Most Of the
feather makers also learn the art Of flower
making. and when the feather business gets
duh in the fail they have another trade at
which they can work during the winter
and spring months.
I'm New York the trade in feathers
amounts to millions Of dollars annually.
and the supply of song and other gay
plumaged birds has decreased to such an
extent within recent years that many sub
stitutes have had to be used. Some Of the
finest feathers are now made out OF six
and cotton waste. They have quills made
curled it would take an expert to detect
them from an ostrich any other expen-
sve feather which they are made to imi-
tate. The utilization of poultry feathers
great success. as many breeds of fancy
chickens, ducks and geese have remark
ably beautiful feathers. shilnmering with
gold, green and blue. and tinged with me
talic luster of unusual beauty. Even the
common barnyard fowl is made to furnish
material for the market. By dyeing such
feathers they can be made to initiate the
brightest plumes that ever graced the back
or topknot of tropical bird. The plumes
are artfully made up by hand, each indi-
vidual feather being colored beforehand.
and then worked into exquisite design.
Some Of these plumes are so gorgeous that
they are more In demand than the genuine
plumes Of wild birds.
"a remarkable machine Is IN use for
plucking the feathers from dead poultry,
and by its use the feather industry has
been greatly simpliffed and expanded The
dead bird Is placed on a table, and the
picker strips 1t Of all feathers In Just half
a minute. Then the piucked feathers are
passed rapidly along to another small room
where a current of air sorts the very fine
from the heavy ones. The very highest
and softest feathers are used for pillows.
but all the others find some use in the
millinery trade. 1t is now the fashion to
have cloaks and mantles made out of light
poultry feathers. and some handsome pieces
of wearing apparel have been made in this
way. Such a feather cloak is more expen-
siye than sable or seal.
