Noise as a Curative Agent.

The Chinese doctor sets up a terri
bic racket when called TO treat the
sick. This is supposed to drive evil
spirits away, and it unquestionably
acts well in a great many cases. Civ
iiization demands rest and quiet; all
noise is barred from the sickroom.
The Chinese have demonstrated, un-
knowingly, a great psychological or
psychopathological fact. A patient of
mine had received the last rites of the
church, the pulse had ceased at the
wrist and he had sunk into that coma
which precedes death. Some one in
the next house struck UP the Anvil
Chorus" from II Trovatore" was
very much annoyed and distressed
and tried TO stop it. Suddenly the
pulsation at the wrist began again,
the patient gradually opened his eyes,
motioned TO his sister. She bent low
and he whispered in her ear, "Te dunn
te oea, that is my favorite tune" says
he. We reused him. fed him, and to-
day, ten years after the event, he
weighs 240 pounds. The therapeu-
tics Of vibration or noise is yet to be
written. So ] have discovered that
anything that can arouse the subcon-
scious. sublimiRal self viii cure my
patient when all drugs fail, and noise
is a very cheap agent.-Medical Brief

Russian Troops in China.

The Peking correspondent of the
London Times asserts that Russia has
no such force at Port Arthur as Ad-
miral Alexieff would like the world to
believe. At the review there last
month it was said that 10000 troops
passed before the commander. The
Times man asserts that the review was
held within a race course which is one
and a quarter miles in circumference.
Admiral AleXieff informed the foreign
ers there that they were looking at
100. 900 troops. This was so absurd
that the official reports made the num-
Der $4,000. AS a matter of fact, the
true number was 21,o00. The total
number Of Russian troops of all arms
in leased territory is $4,000, which is
being increased to $4,000.

CRITICIZE THE GOVERNOR.
Colorado Strikers Complain Because
Troops Are Sent to Mining Districts.

DENVER, Dec. 26.-The Colorado
State Federation of Labor to-day is
sued a circular, which is being sent
to every labor union in the State. A
protest is made against the action of
Governor Peabody in sending the
State troops into the mining districts
where strikes are in progress and in
denying the writ of habeas corpus,
placing a censorship on the press and
denying the right of citizens to keep
firearms in their homes. These things
are done, it is declared, for the pur-
pose of defeating the eight-hour
movement and disrupting the labor
unions. Laboring men are urged to
join an organization known as the
Law and Order and Constitutional
Rights Protective League. The cir
cular closes with these words:
''As freemen we would live; in it's
defense we should be ready to die"

Der, as shown by the reports of the
Department of Commerce and Labor
through its bureau of statistics,
amount to s97,55S,675. This is a
larger export than in any preceding
October, except that of 1900, and even
in that banner year the total was less
than 100000 above that of October,
1903. The increase over October,
1902, is about $1,5OO,oO0; over Octo-
Der, 1901, $3.000,00O, and is more
than double the total for October of
1898.
Most of the principal articles of
manufacture show a slight increase
in October, 1903, compared with Oc-
tober, 1902. Agricultural implements
show a gain of over $4,000 compared
with the same month of the preced-

and manufactures of wool, $4,000.
Cotton manufactures show a slight
reduction, the total exports for Octo-
Der, 1903, being S2,005, $50, against
$2,689,076 in October of last year.
This reduction occurs almost exclu-
sively in exports of cotton cloth to
China, of which the total for October,
1903, was valued at $414,156, against
$1,036,726 in October last.
On the import side manufactures
show a slight decrease as compared
with October, 1902. Articles of vol
untary use, luxuries, ETC., are for Oc-
tober, 1903, $11,242,417, against $11,-
676,126 in October, 1902. Articles
manufactured ready for consumption
in October, 1903, are $14,375,3
against $14,54O,799 in the correspond
ing month. of last year, and articles
wholly or partially manufactured for
use as materials in the manufactures
and mechanic arts are $12,S43,890,
against S13,348,145.
Iron and steel manufactures, of
which the importations had been un-
usually large, show marked reduc-
ton, the total for October, 1908, be-
ing $2,552,3s0, against s4149,631 in
October of last Washington

Paris Students Temperance League.
The students of the Latin quarter,
or at least, a certain number of them,
are getting up an anti-alcoholic league,
which will form part OF the French
league of temperance. The members
only abstain from distilled liquors, but
drink all fermented beverages, such as
wine, beer or cider. The fees for ad-
mission and membership are one franc
for each member, and the league in
tends to use every possible means of
impressing on the public the import
ance of temperance, such as post cards,
advertisements, tracts, hospital propa-
ganda, temperance restaurants, and
later, the establishment of journal

RICH MEN ARE NOT ALL HAPPY
Croesus, King of Lydia, Had Troubles
of His Own, and There Are Others.

VI Ills ONlI, anu are OLIeTS. \
Croesus, the John D. Rockefeller
of the kingdom of Lydia, was very
well-to-do in worldly goods and chat
tells. "As rich as Croesus' is a saying
about $500 years old. He had his trou-
bles, however. and some of them were
full grown. He was taken captive once
by Cyrus and only saved himself from
being burned alive by quoting a saying
of Solon the sage. He finally had to
flee his kingdom for parts unknown.
Many of the rich mans troubles to-
day come from high living and could
be avoided. They are brought on by
eating all kinds of rich, heavy foods
at irregular times, lack of proper ex-
ercise, undue mental strain, unnatural
stimulants, ETC., and are commonly
known as indigestion, dyspepsia and
weak stomach. They are serious trou-
bles all right, but not only can they
be avoided, but can also be cured, and
that without loss Of time or proper food
and nourishment.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are the
certain relief of dyspeptics, rich and
poor alike. There is no such thing as
stopping their onward progress now.
A great nation has placed it's stamp of
approval upon their noble work. The
thousands and thousands of cures they
have effected and the happiness result
ing therefrom have made their name a
household word throughout the land.
The story of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets can be told in word. They
actually do the work that the weak
and wasted stomach is unable to do
and allow it to recuperate and regain
it's strength. They contain all the es-
sentiaI properties that the gastric Juice
and other digestive fluids do, and they
digest the food just as a sound and well
stomach would. They relieve the stom-

10000 Horse Power Will Be De-

load, operated by water wheels OF 12,oOo
horse power, Is what the Great Northern
Power company of Duluth is preparing TO
install. These are double the size OF any
dynamos in use in any water power on
this continent, and are about the same as
those to be installed at Niagara In the
new part Of the cataract work.
Three or four of these gigantic dynamos
will be the initial installation, to be fol-
lowed by others as power consumers re-
quire, till the 80, 900 horse power available
Is utilized. The scheme is one Of the lar
gest under way in this country, and Is all
ready for the contractors. Preliminary
engineering work has been under way for
more than two years, and the plan has
been inspected by many of the foremost
electrical and hydraulic engineers of this

The main power plant will furnish en-

probably for score of iron mines on the
Mesaba range. The Steel corporation
alone has twenty mines in operation on
the Mesaba range, for which coal is now
brought from Ohio. Electro chemical in
dustries will also utilize this power which
Is to be brought by wire into transform
ing and transmitting station at Duluth.
The distance is but ten miles, while to
the most distant Mesaba mines 1t is only
sixty miles from the power plant.
This company has been financed in
Chicago and one eastern city outside New
York Its plans call for an expenditure
of about s3.50O,00 for the installation now
contemplated, and an ultimate cost much
greater. Much Of the power to be devel-
oped has already been sold under long
time contracts.
