THOSE GNAWING RATS,
A Common and Curious Illusion.

"I felt as though rats were gnawing at the coats of my stomach" Three famous men have all left this expression on record in their writings. They were all sufferers from chronic indigestion or dyspepsia, of which the horrible sensation they thus de- scribe is a symptom Other signs are & heaviness and distress after eating, bad taste in the mouth, dryness of skin, variable appetite, fatulency, broken sleep, bad dreams and nightmares, billiousness, fatigue and weariness without labor, etc., etc.
 We work with our head and nerves and this makes the dyspepsia of the student, the business and professional man, the worried man and the majority of women. We throw food, often unassorted and in ex- cess, into this weak and unwarmed stom- ach, and bring on acute inhammatory dys- pepsia or gastric catarrh, with symptoms and results which make life terror. Ask anybody who has it.
 The best of medicines is the new medi- cine, Calcura Solvent, discovered by Dr. David Kennedy, of Kennedy Row, Kings ton, N. Y. It has proved brilliantly sue cessful in maladies of the digestive and nervous systems and in disorders of the liver, bladder and kidneys. All druggists S1.0o bottle.

BI.E Fire In Chicago.

Chicago, March 12.-The five story Balke-Calls nder company located at Wells and Superior streets has been practically destroyed by fire.

Come Into Mercy and Pardon.
 So I set open the wide gate of my text, inviting you all to come into the mercy and pardon of God-yea, still further, into the ruins of the place where once was kept the knowledge of your iniquities. The place has been torn down and the records destroyed, and you will find the ruins more dilapi- dated and broken and prostrate than the ruins of Melrose or Wentworth, for from these last ruins you can pick up some fragment of a sculptured stone or you can see the curve of some bro ken arch, but after your repentance and your forgiveness you cannot find in all the memory of God a fragment of your pardoned sins so large as a needles point. Their sins and their iniquities will remember no more"
 Six different kinds of sounds were heard on that night which was inter jected into the daylight of Christ's as- sassination. The neighing of the war horses-for some of the soldiers were in the saddle-was one sound, the bang of the hammers was a second sound, the jeer of malignants was a third sound, the weeping of friends and fol lowers was a fourth sound, the plash of blood on the rocks was a fifth sound, and the groan of the expiring Lord was . sixth sound. And they all commin- gled into one sadness. Over a place in Russia where wolves were pursuing a load of travellers and to save them a servant sprang from the sled into the mouths of the wild beasts and was de- voured and thereby the other lives were saved are inscribed the words, Greater love hath no man than this, that q man lay down his life for bis

LITTLE TOT NAMED VESSEL.
ONLY FOUR YEARS OLD AND NOT
STRONG ENOUGH TO BREAK THE
BOTTLE OF WINE

Miss Alice Roosevelt is not the only girl whe
has won laurels this year at the launching of
yachts There is in New-YOrk pretty tot only
a fourth as old, who. it is believed is the
youngest ever to name a yacht. She gained her
fame, too. at Shooters Island where the Presi-
dents daughter named the yacht of the German
Emperor about month before. She stood on
platform not more than fifty feet from that
on which the Emperor's brother, Prince Henry;
MISS Alice Roosevelt and the President stood
when the Meteor was launched, and the boat
she named on the deck of which as it
lay on the ways alongside, many of the guests
stood TO watch that ceremony
This little girls name is Marguerite Fahne-
stock, and she is the daughter of Gibson Fabne-
STOCK for whom the boat she named was built
she IS only four years old. and she could not
reach the bottle Of wine that was to be broken
on the bow of the boat. 1t was not believed
that she had the strength to break the bottle
and 1t was arranged that she should name the
boat as somebody else dashed the wine against
II. In order that she might be able to see the
boat glide into the water and be seen naming,
1t by the guests big packing case was nailed
down on the platform and a smaller one was
placed on that for her to stand on At the
moment the boat began to move Marguerite
was in her mothers arms laughing at something
somebody had said to her
Quick, Margueritev' cried Mrs Fahnestock
Make your little speech"
Il name thee Shen-an-do-ah" shouted Mar
guerIte at the top Of her voice, as the silver en-
cased bottle struck the side of the boat and the
sparkling foam splashed all around Then she
clapped her hands with delight, as the boat
glided noiselessly down the ways and plunged
into the water. Every body cheered the Shenan-
doah and Marguerite, and then most of the
women and some of the men kissed her. A lit
tie while afterward she posed for The Trbune's
photographer in the shipyard, and the picturs
that is printed on this page was taken.

chimes. One has a gas bag which keeps the
ship in the air, and the other is a machine with
wings. Phe gas bag flying machine is the kind
that Santos Dumont hopes to make perfect.
Away back in 1873 men went up in balloons. In
1ISJ Frenchman by the name of Blanchard and
Dr. Jeffries. Of Boston, made a balloon trip
across the English Channel from Dover to
Gunes. That created more Of a sensation in
those days than SaHtos-Dumont's trips. Some
day when you go to Normandy you Will go to
Guines and the people Will show you a monu-
ment which marks the landing place Of the bal
loon
Ever since that time there have been expert
ments made in all parts Of the world, and much
useful knowledge has been acquired, even if the
airship has not yet been completed The first
air uavigators only ascended a few hundred feet,
but in July. 1901, a man went UP 5000 feet"
How high a balloon 60, grandfather"
You might as well ask, How big is a piece
Of chalk? The rising capacity Of a balloon de-
pends on its size, on the gas and the weight
carried Now, a balloon Of $1,000 cubic feet
that is the ordinary size-fIled with illuminating
gas and with one person in the basket, VIII rise

oxygen in the air, but nowadays he takes along

Any clever boy or girl can make 'Ye Pigge
Book Of drawing paper or any unwrinkled
paper about five by six inches in size, con-
tanning about fifty pages; cover it neatly with
brown linen, on which can be painted in black
or gilt or colors fancifuI designs together with
a picture of 4 pig in the lower left hand corner
rms book can be strapped with broad elastic
or tied with ribbon, and a pencil holder of
loop of ribbon can easily be fastened to one side
On the inside cover of the book are the di-
rections, which must be followed accurately to
the fun:
You may be clever and you may be wise
But can you draw pig with tight shut ewes?
Now, take up your pencil and try your skill
And after 1t sign your name with goodwill.
This can amuse a roomful of people, for the
pig is very hard to hitch together, and the eye
and the tail seldom secure their proper places
The various results are simply sidesplitting.

balloon has risen above $4,000 feet"
Don't people freeze to death when they get
away up above the earth?"
Il dare say they would if they stayed there
but when they find that the oxygen does not
keep them awake, that they become so weak
that they are unable to work the instruments
which they take with them-and that happened
TO two distinguished aeronauts a few years q go
the valves are opened, the gas escapes and the
balloon comes down"
But you are telling me about balloons, and
want to know about airships"
We'll, my boy, the day of the airship is not
here yet. Santos -Dumont made a few trips that
were successful, and we may have a chance to
see him fly his machine at the St Louis fair;
but think it will be a long time before we will
be able to travel regularly that way. Several

'No, my boy; there were airships long before
