7N NO State throughout the Union
is American ingenuity-aud Yankee
ingenuity, at that-shown to finer
advantage than in Nebraska, where
homemade windmills, constructed at a
slight cost, do the work of mill-made
machines for which much larger
price is asked. New England and the
Middle States, says the New York
Press, might Just as we'll as not claim
some of the credit for the inventive
ness and power OF adaptation which
these Western farmers display. for the
farmers came from the East or their
fathers did, and the farmers of the
West haven't much harder row to
hoe than the farmer of the rocky hills
of New England.
These Nebraska folk can take a
wornout mower and a few boards
which have dropped off the pig sty and
make out of them windmill that will
insure them profit, even If in the long,
clear summers the sky refuses to give
down." The labor can be put in when
nothing more profitable Is to be done
than praying for rain, and the ridicu-
lous sum Of dollar or so pays all the
money outlay necessary.

The Pennsylvania Fish Commission
had heard tales that the brown trout
with which some of the streams of the
State were tocked We're particularly
susceptible to destruction from light
ming. so they began an Investigation
and they now announce that the stories
are true. 1t Is the habit of the brown
trout to swim close to the bottom of
the stream II frequents, and though he
Is not literally struck by lightning. the
electricity is conducted to the bottom
of the streams which have rocks con
tanning considerable amount of iron
in them, and so reaches and kills the
trout, while it does not affect the fish
that swim higher in the water.

POINTS OF EXCELLENCE.
A Few Reasons Which Are Rapidly Maxi
ing a New Catarrh Cure Famous.

Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, the new Ca
tarrh cure has the following advantages
over other catarrh remedies.
First: These tablets contain no CO.
caine, morphine or any other injurious
drug and are as safe and beneficial for
children as for adults; this is an import
ant point when it is recalled that many
catarrh remedies do contain these very
Objectionable ingredients.
Next: Being in tablet form this rem
edy does not deteriorate with age, or an
exposure to the air as liquid prepara-
tons invariably do.
Next: The tablet form not only pre-
serves the medicinal properties but it is
so far more convenient to- carry and to
use at any time that it is only a ques-
ton of time when the tablet will en-
tirely supersede liquid medicines as it
has already done in the medical depart
lnent of the United States army.
Next: No secret is made of the COM
position of Stuart'S CatarTh Tablets;
they contain the active principle of
Eucalyptus bark, red gum blood root
and Hydrastin, all harmless antiseptics
which, however, are death to catarrhal
germs wherever found, because they eli
inmate them from the blood.
Next. You can not cure catarFh by To-
cal applications to the nose and throat
because these are simply local Symp-
toms and such treatment can not posi-
bly, reach the real seat of catarrhal dis
ease which is the blood; for this reason,
inhalers, douches, sprays and powders
never really cure eatarrh, but simply
give temporary relief which dose of
plain salt and water will do just as well.
Catarrh must be driven out of the
system, out of the blood, by an internal
remedy because an internal remedy
is the only kind which can be
assimilated into the blood.
Quarts Catarrh Tablets do this better
than the old form of treatment because
they contain every safe specific known
in modern science in the antiseptic treat
ment of the disease.
Next: The use of inhalers, and spray
ing appartuses. besides being inemee-
tive and disappointing is expensive.
while complete treatment of Stuart's
Catarrh Tablets can be had at any drug
store in the United States and Canada
for so cents.

KEPT THE WHEEL
Deaf Mute Held Bicycle Until Widow
Promised to Marry Him.

New York, Dec. 15.-False and tickle
was the Widow Coakley-at least, so it
appeared in the court proceedings She
had promised her hand and heart to
Louis Samuel, the cobbler who does his
lacking and stitching in a little shop at
No. Coenties slip, and who boarded
with her at No. 1888 Third avenue. But
on Saturday afternoon, after Louis had
paid her $13 on account of board. she
told HMM sign language, for both are
deaf mutes-that she had changed her
mind.
Give me back my money cried
Louis as fiercely as one can cry 1t on
ones fingers
The false and tickle one laughed in his
face.
Very well, then" said Louis making
his fingers flash so fast it was hard for
the eye to follow them, "I'H be re-
venged." Descending to the basement.
he mounted the widows bicycle and
rode triumphantly away. Nor did he
return to her freside.
She sought assistance from the Old
Slip station and in a fair, round hand
set forth the facts in the case. Detective
Quigley accompanied her to the little
cobbler's shop in Coenties Slip. They
found Samuel hard at work at his bench.
but he smiled sardonically when asked
to return the wheel.
All hands adjourned to the Centre
Street court, where the puzzling case
