New Use for wireless Telesraphy.

Wireless telegraphy has had new demon
stration for usefulness by the captain of a
lightship, who used it after ordinary signals
had failed to notify the shore authorities Of
danger. In like manner Hostetter's Stom-
ach Bitters, the famous dyspepsia cure, acts
when all other medicines fail. Its superior
ity is quickly felt in the renewal of strength.
It regulates the bowels, improves the appe.
tite, and cures Indigestion. Try it.

Causes of Insanity.

The difference between mans
heart and a woman's is shown oddly
and well in this years report of the
Pennsylvania Hospital in the table
giving the causes Of insanity among
1880 patients, G104 Of whom were
men and 5456 women. Women, this
table shows, are nearer TO nature than
men. The things which drive women
insane are the simple, elemental
things, those things which the Bible
and the great poets regard as most inn
portant in life, though men are apt to
hold them lightly. Homesickness made
insane eleven women, but only one
man; domestic trouble 1877 women and
tfty-tiye men; mental anxiety, 402
women and 23G men, grief, 345 women
and ninety-two men, fright, sixty-four
women and twenty men. On the other
hand, vicious habits and indulgences
made insane 125 men, but only sixteen
women; business cares and perpleXi.

excessive study, fifty-one men and
twenty women; intemperance, 0jS

LUCKY PREACHER
AIakos a Fortune In Mining Stocks and

Makes Fortune In Mining Stocks and
Pays on Church Mortgage.
Shrewd investment in Arizona min
ing properties has raised Rev. Larkin
A. Rockwell, pastor of the West Pull
man NJ. e. church, from his position
as a struggling minister on a small
salary to a man of affluence. Several
years ago he began buying stock in
the Azurite, Twine Beauties and other
old mines in Arizona. His investments
turned out so prohtably that a short
time ago he was able to announce to
his congregation that he himself would
pay of the mortgage Of $2,50O which
rested over the little church where he
presided as pastor. At the same time
he resigned his salary as he said his
own income was adequate for the sup
port Of his family. Rev. Mr. Rock
well was formerly pastor Of the Sec
ond Methodist church at Englewood.
When he accepted the call to West
Pullman he found that church incum-
bered by a mortgage and the coEgre-
cation hardly more than able to keep
m the interest. The mining invest
ments Of Mr.. Rockwell are reputed to
have made him worth S5O0,0OO He is
at present in Arizona looking after
his investments. He has in view other
charitable dispensations on his return.

Chesterfleld,s Relnrt.

During the great Chesterdcld's wan

inn which was kept in any but neat
condition. Not only were the rooms
untldy, but even the dishes from
which the guests were expected to eat
were dirty. This was too much for
Lord Chesterfield, and he soundly
rated the waiter.

What hunter presses hard the broken

And your the gift Of tears-the sweet

Men Who Travel Much Prone to Suffer
from This Disease.
This distressing affection, known
also as Tabes dorsalis, is a disease Of
the spinal cord occurring usually in
middle life, between thirty and fifty
years Of age, but sometimes in chill
dren as young as ten or twelve years,
1t is believed to be due primarily to
some constitutional trouble but is
brought on often by exposure to
changes Of weather by physical or
mental overwork, and by whatever de-
presses the general health. 1t is said
hat railroad men and others who
ravel much are prone 20 suffer from
his disease. Men are affected more
)ften than women. The first sign Of
he disease is usually a numbness Of
ne feet and an uncertainty in walk
ng, especially in the dark The patient
'eels constantly fatigued, without ap-
parent reason, and sometimes Slight
attacks Of dizziness are complained Of
The difficulty in walking gradually in
creases, and then an awkwardness in
the use OF the hands Is noticed. This
becomes very apparent If the patient is
made to shut his eyes and try to touch
he end of the nose with the index
niger. A we'll person can usually place
he finger on or very near the nose,
cut one suffering from locomotor
ataXia is as likely to touch the eye or
The chin. There Is also frequently a
feeling of construction about the waist,
rs II a cord were tightly tied around
the body. Sharp, darting pains may
be felt in the legs, and sometimes there
is severe pain in the stomach, perhaps
with vomiting. Not uncommonly there
is irregular action of the bowels and
bladder. The eyes are often affected,
the sight gradually growing dim, or
double vision being present, and oc-
casionally there is deafness as we'll
Painless swelling and deformity of one
or more joints may occur, and some
times the bones become so brittle that
they break very easily, as in a simple
fall. A rare symptom is an ulcer on
the sole of the foot, which it is diff
cult or impossible to heal. Locomotor
ataXia is a very slowly progressive
disease, lasting sometimes for many
years, and seldom in itself cause Of
death. When treatment is begun in
the very early stages, 1t is believed
that the disease may possibly be cured
but later the most that can be done is
20 delay its progress and relieve the
most distressing symptoms.-Youths'

and taller. The green leaves are bright
ly variegated with white and yellow,
which colors do not disappear as the
season advances, but remain on the
foliage until frost kills the plants AL
though fragile in appearance this grass
is quite hardy, and does not suffer from
our severe winters. A pretty method OF
planting them is to surround group or
the taller-g growing gracillma with q
border Of the variegata. The former
lends support and contrast to the latter,
and the two together always make an
effective ornament. The variegata Is
foot or two shorter in it's full growth
than the gracillima, The two varieties
grow with the greatest freedom, and re-
quire next to no care after being plant
ed. They can be made to flourish in
clumps or in scattering row, where
each individual stem stands out tall and
straight as a reed arrow.
There are infinite uses to which these
tall slender grasses may be put. They
are not as tough as the Japanese bam-
boo, but for light work they answer al
most the same purpose. We cannot
raise the bamboo in this country, but
the eulalias will flourish, and we might
endeavor to employ them about the
house in useful and ornamental ways

NO USE FOR WISDOM.

Oswald Ottendorfer, editor, of the
| Staats-Zeitung of New York city, has
the following to say about the political
| situation: German Americans see the
actual danger in expansion. With them
this Is no phantom. They are familiar
with the evils of miltarsm, from which
| they escaped when they left the father
land They will never vote to be return
ed to those evils in their adopted coun-
| try. Whatever opinions they may hold
on other questions, they will certainly
vote to avoid the danger which threat
ems the republic through President Nc
Kinley's imperialistic attitude. Ger
man voters hold the balance Of power in
New York. Michigan, Wisconsin, and
Illinois. 1t is in their power to give
these States to Bryan, and with them
he will win. Democratic mistakes, how
ever, have made it improbable that the
four States mentioned will be classed in
the Bryan column. In this State the
revelations concerning the ice trust will
bring about Mckinley victory. SINH
/ lar mistakes in the West have destroyed
Democratic opportunities. Judging from
the material now at hand, | am inclin-
ed to believe that Mckinley will again
be elected though it is possible for his
defeat by the use of wisdom
There is no reason to doubt that Edi-
tor Ottendorfer knows the German
American mind, and he also exhibits
knowledge and sagacity in not being
very hopeful about the use Of wisdom
by the Democrats. The Democrats
have had no use for wisdom for long
time

SOME RESPONSIBILITY.

| Can't a promoter legally promote
without regard to the interests of those
whom he induces to take a part of the
load? The Supreme court of Massa-
chusetts seems to think that he can't.
A number of persons became aware
that great tract of land in East Ten
nessee, having large natural resources
and the potentiality of industrial de-
velopment, could be purchased at rel
| atively low price. They arranged to
buy this land and to form a land COM
pany, by means Of which the money
needed for the purchase and exploita-
ton of property was to be raised. For
their share in bringing this result about
the promoters of this undertaking re-
served to themselves substantially a
third of the shares of the corporation
that is, these were given to them OUT
right, the capital needed to float the
enterprise coming from subscriptions
made to the other two-thrds of the
stock. The court holds that this action
was illegal, because subscriptions were
solicited for the ordinary shares with
out full knowledge on the part of the
subscribers that the promoters of the
enterprise were to receive so large a
share for their services, and hence, as
these promoters, who organized the
company, must be considered to have
been acting in a fiduciary capacity for
the future shareholders, they were not
justified in what they did and must
now make an accounting to those whom
they induced to invest their money in
the undertaking.
If business is going to continue to be
business such a decision as this will be
rather disturbing.

JAPAN'S BEAUTIFUL GRASSES
The Eulalias Which Have Been Intro
duced Into This Country

The Eulaias Which Have Been Intro
duced Into This Country.
Japan continues to, supply us with
wonderful products OF their gardens
which, through centuries of culture,
they have brought to the present high
state of perfection. Japanese plums.
morning glories and lawn grasses
are now quite common in every orchard
or garden, and they are not excelled
by anything that the western nations
have been able to produce. The Japan
csc grasses, or eulalias, have only been
introduced in this country few years,
but wherever planted they receive more
than common notice. For ornamental
grouping on the lawn there is no palm
or plant quite equals them, not even ex-
cepting the celebrated pampas plumes
When once planted these grasses flour
ish so abundantly that it is a question
whether they may not have a CONNER
cial value as well as an ornamental one.
In Japan they are dried and woven into
mats, and if one cares to initiate the
Orientals in this respect, durable home
mats can easily be manufactured. At
ter the cold weather has killed the grace

as graCillima, the stems should be cut

The helmet shaped hat is already the
rage. When made of a soft, loose weave
of yellow straw bound with white and
wound with a soft whit wash scarf it
is at it's simplest and best. For golf
field and other outing use red, orange
or green may be substituted for the
white, and a narrow string tie band may
take the place of the scarf. Brilliant
bandanna handkerchiefs and scartings
of panne velvet in the most brilliant
grounds brilliantly dotted are also used.
The charm of the helmet of this type is
that 1t is drawn carelessly over the
eyes and may be turned up at the back
or not. Some hats of this sort are PLAN
ned to be worn in variety of shapes,
all notifications being made by turning
up or down the different parts of the
brim. Women seem SO far to prefer the
hat down all around, and liking it's
careless becomingness especially.

length After cutting, dry few days
in cool, shady place, and then weave
| the mats crosswise, fastening the ends
| by tying them under or sewing with a
| bagging needle and Irvine. A mat at
least six by five feet can be made in
| this way, and 1t will be found durable
enough to last for a long time. The
| mats can be made in a short time, and
| the stalks can be had in abundance.
| The japanese make many ornamental
! wicker-Work articles with the stems Of
the eulalias, and il they are properly
dried in season, they will prove very
stiff and strong. For this work they
should be cut in the late fall and dried
in the shade where moisture cannot
reach them. Ornamental baskets, paper
| racks and scrap-baskets can be made
with the dried stems.
The Lest eulalia for this purpose is
the variety mentioned above. This
variety sends up beautiful stems to the
height of six or seven feet in the fall
with stems not much larger around than
thick straw. The leaves branch out
from these solid stems and widen to
about quarter of an inch. These long
graceful blades are Of light green with
light midrib running from top to bot
tom. In late autumn they produce a
light pink plume, which is the flower of
the plant; and as the frost comes, the
stems and leaves turn to pretty
brown, which they maintain until
spring. If the stems are cut off in the
late fall, new ones shoot up early the
next spring, and another crop as large
as the first will follow.
The most commonly known eulalia is
the zebrina. This is a short grass COM
pared to the first, but raised in beds
and masses, it gives pretty effect to
the lawn or garden. The pure zebrina
has yellow bars across a green blade,
but most of the specimens seen in gar
dens are nearly green This is due to
the fact that the variety has q tendency
to revert back TO its original type In
order to preserve the variegated nature
OF the plant the roots that show plain
green foloage must be taken up, and the
roots divided which emphasize the yell
low bars. In this way the plants can
be prevented from degenerating.
The eulalia japonica varegata is a
variety that greatly resembles the old
fashioned ribbon grass, but it is prettier
