Americans are known as a dyspeptic
people. The extent of this disease
may be inferred from the multitude
of so called medicines offered rs
a remedy. They + often in tablet
form and have no value except as
%palliatives Of the Immediate effects
Of dyspepsia. The man who used
them may feel better but is surely
getting worse. They do not touch
the real cause of the disease. DR..

l an entire year only Il person was
killed on the railways Of Great Britain.
In three months 845 persons have been
killed and 11,162 injured on American
lines. The reason for this is plain. It
is a much more serious matter to kill a
person on an English railroad than it is
in America.
Four great coal regions are about to

Preserve Cid Names.

In this country old names, many Of
them of aboriginal origin, are being re-
placed by names not nearly SO .ats
tractive, not nearly 81 distinctive, not
nearly sc American. The nomencla-
ture of a country is one of its posses
sions that should be guarded with the
utmost vigilance. lit is something that
comes down to it, an ancient heritage,
from its earliest settlers. Respect for
the pioneers, if nothing else, should
prompt a retention Of the early names.

Ape a Concert singer,

N -f-
In the geological garden at Berlin
may be seen a curious looking ape. 1T
is a member Of the species known as
~..guereza." Herr Schilling, an African
traveller, shot it near Kilimandscharo,
in German East Africa, but the animal
was not badly wounded and he soon
succeeded in restoring it to health.
This is the first adult ~s.guereza"
which has yer been seen in captivity
In Europe. Three young apes Of a
somewhat similar type, whose home Is
MSAbyssinia, were captured some time
ago, but they died very soon after they
were photographed.
An interesting fact about the "gue-
rezas" is that they hold a regular con-
cert in their native woods every night,
which, while not very musical, since it
consists merely Of a succession Of
growls, produces q startling effect on
those who hear it for the first time.

". g. Sanderson, a Salem Is. D.)
business man, has in his store a cat
which is remarkably intelligent. The
animal appears to think that its es-
pecial duty is to wind a large clock
which occupies a conspicuous position
in the store. The timepiece is Of the
kind that has weights suspended by a
chain. The remarkable intelligence of
the cat is displayed when it discovers
that the weights are getting close to
the floor and winds them back BY pull
ing on the other end Of the chain. It
attends to this regularly, never per-
hitting the clock to run down.

Chicago the front rank for coslmopoli-

ken there by colonies of at least 10000
persons each. Newspapers appear reg
ularly in ten languages, and church
services may be heard in about twenty.

gest Bohemian city in the world, the
third Swedish, the third Norwegian,

guages spoken by numbers ranging
from half a dozen to half a million and
aggregating over a million.

IN TORNADO FORMATION.
Hawks Rotated in Funnel Shape to
Protect Weak Members-Per-
haps Caught in Storm.

A curious spectacle was witnessed
here one afternoon recently, according
to a st. John IN. b. dispatch to the
New York Sun. Promenaders in
the park heard shrieking overhead, and,
looking up, found a great funnel
shaped cloud of hawks overshad-
owing them, There were several hun
dred of the birds, and all were sailing
around some imaginary center in cir
cling layers one above the other. The
lowest stratum was only about $50 feet
from the ground, the topmost as far
away as the eye could reach.
Independently of their centrifugal mo-
ton, the birds were going evidently by
force of the wind, in northeasterly di-
rection, which promised soon to take
them out over the Atlantic. They ap-
peared to be moving by some concerted
agreement, sweeping about with Ithe
greatest ease, occasionally giving ut
terance to the only cry of which they
are capable One surmise of the Curl
GUS formation was that flock of mi
grating hawks had found itself in the
heart of a storm, and had been rolled up
by the wind, which rotated in the form
of a tornado; or possibly it was for
the protection of the weaker members
of the flock that they elected to travel
to another country in this curious fash
ion.

TWO MILES A MINUTE.
Made That Remarkable Record
Mental Strain on Engineers.

The fact that speed of 1868 miles
an hour has been reached on the Eos
sen experimental road in Germany is
interesting, but the engineers in
charge are in error if they think that
this is the highest speed ever attained,
says the New York World More than
20 years ago a steam engine and car
attached, both of light construction,
were driven at over 100 miles on hour
on single rail "saddle-back" road
built by Capt. ]. V. Meigs at Boston.
Ten years ago the Empire State ex-
press ran mile at the rate of 112.5
miles an hour. Two years ago train
on the Plant system in Florida ran
five miles in two minutes and 80 sec
onds. equivalent to 120 miles an hour.
Some experts think that while there
is no mechanical difficulty in the way
of running trains at the rate of 100
miles an hour or more, no engineer
speed without nervous breakdown.
But with a thoroughly protected track,
free from grade crossings, with moth
ing to disturb the mind, and with vi
brations reduced to minimum, it may
be found that a train can be run at
two miles minute with less mental
tension than is caused by half that
speed to-day-when a speck on the
track mile away may develop within
60 seconds into g wagonload Of peo-

FIDDLES AND HORSE HAIR.
Germany and Russia Furnish Most
Essential Part of Violin, Cello
and Bass Viol Bows,

fThere is vast amount of horse hair
annually used in the United States for
making and repairing violin, violoncello
and bass viol bows" said dealer in such
materials to writer for the New York
Mail and Express recently. "All of the
hair comes from Germany and Russia,
in which countries the tails of horses are
generally allowed to grow much longer
than here. The foreign hair is also
coarser in texture and tougher than that
which grows on the American horse, and
these qualities make the imported arti-
Gle more valuable than the domestic
product is for the purpose. There are
only two kinds of horse hair suitable
for making bows, and they are of the
white and black varieties. The former is
used for violin bows, and the latter,
which is heavier and stronger, is the best
material for making bows for cello and
bass viols, because it bites the larger
strings better. The imported hair is put
up in hanks of Sc inches long, which is
five or six inches longer than the stand
ard violin bow. A hank is sufficient for
one violin bow, while two hanks are re-
quired to hair cello or bass viol bow.
There are about one and one-haIf ounces
of hair in hank, which is worth from
70 to 80 cents, according to the quality
of the hair"

John stetson and the Pope.

Another of the John Stetson stories
which has recently come to the surface
is well worth repeating for the benefit
of those who have never happened to
hear it. Stetson was not particularly
well read and had never taken a degree
at Harvard college, but he was a
shrewd manager.
On one occasion Mary Anderson was
to play in his theater and her engage
ment extended over holy week. The
actress was a devout Catholic and
never played on the night of Good Fri
day. In looking over the announce
ment of her manager Stetson noticed
that no play was billed for that
night.
How about Friday night?" he asked.
You have failed to announce a play
for that night"
"Well. you see," said his manager,
that is Good Friday, and Miss Ander
son never plays on that night" And
then he added in a spirit of persifage,
''The pope won't allow her to show on
Good Friday"
That night Stetson wired Pope's the
ater, st. Louis, the following: "Can
Mary Anderson play my house Friday
night?' Pope answered, Yes; l have
no objection" and Stetson called to his
manager that he had better insert a
programme for that night in the ad.,
as his friend Pope said it was all right.

PHOTOS OF FREAKS.
Specially Has Proved Lucrative to
PHOTOGRAPHER in GOtham-''Takes"
Only Living CuriOsities.

} Not far from the Cooper Union is a
photograph gallery devoted almost en-
tirely to freaks, says the New York
Times. Sometimes few pugilists
get in there, but as a general thing
they patronize shop kept by an eX-
pugilist little further down the
street.
!. In the freaks shop you will find at
almost any hour of the day giants and
dwarfs, skeletons and fat men, hui
man pincushions and sword swallow
ers-in fact anything that is included
in the museum and circus line, on ex-
hibition from ten cents to one dollar
Nothing in the way of legitimate
freak escapes. But once let an OUT
sider-that is, man whom the
patrons of the show do not consider a
genuine freak, like the sole Mar
Unique survivor, at Barnum's- 's-get in
there, and he gets no picture.
The photographer began with pick
ing up chance freaks in the circus
about ten years ago. He personally
sought out freaks and took commits
sion on the number of photographs
sold in the shows The freak photog-
rapher doesn't do that now. He
knows that he has facility for photo
graphing freaks better than anybody
else, just as others excel in sporting
scenes and some in handsomely
gowned women. Every man, of any
good, in every profession has his
strong point; and this mans is in
posing freaks to the best advantage.
His name is on pictures sold in
freak shows in New York or any
where else this side Of San Francisco.
His bank account would compare
favorably with the bank accounts of
many fashionable photographers.

The English Admiral and the pey.


The Moors hold by their boards when
they swear in order to give weight to
their oath, which after this formality
they rarely violate. The length of
beard seems to weigh with them more
than the stock of brains.
Admiral Keppel was sent to Algiers
to demand satisfaction for the injuries
done to his Britannia majesty's sub
jects by their corsairs. The dey, en-
ragged at the beldness of the ambassa-
dor. exclaimed that he wondered at
the insolence of the English monarch
in sending him message by a foolish,
beardless boy.
The admiral, somewhat nettled, re-
piled that if his master had supposed
wisdom was to be measured by the
length Of the beard he would doubtless
have sent the dey a he goat.
This answer so enraged the dey that
he ordered his mutes to attend with
the bowstrings, saying that the ad-
miral should pay for his boldness with
his life. Nothing daunted by this
threat, the ambassador took the dey to
the window and, showing him the
English fleet, said if it was his pleas
ure to put him to death there We're
Englishmen enough in that fleet to
make him glorious funeral pile.
The dey, who wore long beard,
took the hint from the man who had

WOOD ALCOHOL FIENDS.
Become Able to Drink the Poison
Without Apparent Harm Even

What can do about it?"
Remembering the recent carouse in

are confined to nothing more ardent than
dry martins, Jamaica ginger, water

and Scotch highballs.
