NERVE WASTE

One of the most hopeful books on nerve weakness ever issued is that en- titled Nerve Waste,h by Dr. Sawyer of San Francisco, now in it's fifth thous- and. This work of an experienced and reputable physician is in agreeable con- trast to the vast sum of false teaching which prevails on this interesting su ject. It abounds in carefully consider ed and practical advice, and has the two great merits of wisdom and sincer@ ity.
 It is indorsed by both the religious and secular press. The Chicago Advance says: "A perusal of the book and the application of its principles will put health, hope and heart into thousands of lives that are now suffering through nervous impairment.
 The book is S1.O0, by mail, postpaid.
 One of the most interesting chapters chapter 2, on Nervines and Nerve Tonics-has been printed separately as a sample chapter, and will be sent to any address for stamp by the publishers, THE PACIFIC PUB. Co.,, Box 2658, San Francisco.

Very Quietly.

"Frances," said the little girls mamma, who was entertaining callers in the parlor, ''you came down stairs so noisily that you could be heard al1over the house. You know how to do it better than that. Now go back and come down the stair like lady"
 Frances retired and, after the lapse of 8 few minutes, re-enter- ed the parlor.
 "Did you hear me come down stairs this time, mamma?'
 'No, dear. I'm glad you came down quietly. Now, don't let me ever have to tell you again not to come down noisily, for 1 see that you can come down qui- etly if you will. Now tell these ladies how you managed to come down like lady the second time, while the first time you made so much noise."

A Violent Attack of Group Cured.

"Last winter an infant child of mine had croup in & violent form," says Elder John W. Rog- CTS, a Christian evangelist of Filley, Mo. "I gave her a few doses of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy and in a short time all danger was past and the child recovered. This remedy not only cures croup, but when given as soon as the first symptoms appear, will prevent the attack.

How They Took the Medicine.


 A Pennsylvania doctor, whose practice is largely among the mill hands of his locality, is tell ing an amusing story at the ex- pense of an IriShman. Both he and his wife were taken with se- were colds that threatened to de- velop into grip, and the doctor advised quinine and whisky as an antidote. "You must both take it," he said. "Take it ev- cry three hours-two grains of quinine and a swallow of whis' ky" The next day he called again. The man was ap and about, but his wife was in bed. "Did youfollow my instructions?" asked the doctor. '"To the let ter," replied the husband. 'How much quinine have you left?" was the next question. "Sure, Oi t'ink she have taken tn whole it." said the man. "And didn't you take it, too?" asked the doc tor. "Divil tn bit!" was the re- ply. ~"Begobs, it kept me busy takin' the whisky every toime she took a pill, an sure she's in bed an Oi'm up" Pittsburgh Dispatch.

The big copper mines of Ari- zona are none of them very deep. The deepest workings of the Copper Queen are 1000 feet. and of the United Verde $50 feet. In these mines most of the ore thus far taken out is from points above the 600-foot level. The extreme depths given represent late development shafts.

Origin of Slang Phrases.

Many or the familiar phrases Of the day have been in use since remote antiquity.
 A learned German philologist has recently traced number of these so-called slang phrases through half a dozen languages to their beginnings. Here is 8 partial list of them:
 "He's a brick" This phrase, meaning a good fellow, has been traced to a king of Sparta, four centuries B. c. A visitor to Lac edaemonia, the Spartan capital, was surprised fo find the city without walls, and asked the king what heswouldSdo in case of invasiol. fiSparta has 5O,oOo soldiers, replied the king, 'and each man is a brick. ' :
 ''To give the cold shouldeF.p ? It was once the custom in France, whenea guest had outstayed his welcome, to serve him with a cold shoulder of mutton instead of hot roast, as a hint for him to go.
 ''To kick the bucket" This phrase dates back to the time of Queen Elizabeth. A shoemaker named Hawkins committed sui eide by standing on a bucket placed on a table to raise himself to 8 convenient rafter. To kick the buclSets was, of course, his last action earth.
 'Catching a Tartar" During the war between Russia and the Tartars a private soldier cried: Captain, I have caught a Tar tar!" The officer ordered him to bring his prisoner forward. "He won't let mel" the soldier shout ed back, and investigation show ed that the Tartar was holding back his captor.
 "Apple pie order" A certain Hepzibah Merton, in Puritan times, was in the habit of mak- ing two or three dozen pies ey- cry Saturday which were to last her family through the week. She placed them in her pantry, labelling one or more for each day in the week. The pantry thus arranged was said to be in apple pie order.
 "A feather Tn ones cap." It was once a custom in their wars with the Turks for the Hunga- rians to wear feather in their caps for each Turk they had killed.
 "Blackguards. When the Horse guards parade in St. James Park, London, a crowd of boot blacks always crowd about to black their boots and do other menial work. These attendants at the guard mount have long gone by the name of "black guards"
 -"Deadheads." In Pompeii people who gained admittance to an entertainment without pay ing admission were called dead heads because the checks used for admission were small ivory deaths heads. s.-Tid Bits.

NEW RAILWAY PLANS.
The Construction of the Gettysburg
Road TO Be Commenced.

me OIL the
Road to Be Commenced.
The project for the Washington and
Gettysburg Railway has been revived and
it is understood that all preparatory plans
| have been carried through and that con-
struction will begin early in the coming
! autumn
The plan of the projectors of the line is
to connect with the Metropolitan Branch
of the Baltimore and Ohio at Rockville
and to use the tracks of the Baltimore
and Ohio into the city from that point.
This arrangement was made with the Bal
timore and Ohio some time ago. but more
recently there has been some doubt
whether the management of the road still
cared To grant the same privilege. 1t was
learned yesterday that the arrange
ment has been renewed. 1t is understood
that an important Eastern railway man
agement is backing the projectors of the
venture.
The other projected railway out of
Washington, the electric line to Balti-
more, is also understood to be completed
except the building. The statement is
made that the Cleveland and Akron syn
dicate that is planning the new line has
just closed the deal by which it comes
into possession of the charter of the
Washington and Annapolis Electric Rail-
way Company. This company has the
right to construct a railway from Wash
ington to Annapolis with branches, but
its charter will be used for the purpose OF
building the line in such a way that a
direct route win be followed from Wash
ington to Baltimore with i branch to An
napolis.
The charter has been held by R. E. Ger
hardt and y. NJ. Ludington, OF Baltimore
II was obtained from the Maryland Leg
islatuTe several years ago but was not
used. 1t was conveyed to the Cleveland
Akron syndicate last Monday. James
Christy jr of Akron, and J. II. Wilcox
Of Cleveland. completed the transaction
for the syndicate. Temporary officers of
the company have been elected as follows;
Directors-James Christy, -jr., OF Akron,
Ohio; Frank n. Wilcox, Otto Miller, and
c. w Collister, of Cleveland, Ohio; VIII
liam l.. Marbury. Carroll I. Bond, and
Frank Gosuell, of Baltimore. Mr.. Christy,
President; Mr.. Miller, Treasurer, and Mr..
Wilcox, Secretary.
1t is stated that construction of the line
viii begin at once. Officers of the COM
pany are not ready to describe it's route
as yet, but surveyors are already in the
field.
The representatives of the corporation
say that the company proposes to CON
struct a first-class line and to operate
large. dOuble-truck cars, ike those OF the
Ellicott City line, but better equipped
The cost of the line will be about S1.5G0, 900
They declined TO say where 1t viii enter
this city but it has been reported that
entrance may be obtained over the city
and Suburban, while it has also been said
that the line may enter by way Of the
line To Benning Mr.. Christy declared the
new line will be Of standard gauge.
