There are many symptoms of heart disease,
which so closely resemble those of more com.
mon nervous disorders as to frequently mis-
lead the attending physician. Often in cases
OF heart trouble the stomach, kidneys, liver or
lungs become affected. Again the symptoms
may be those of weakened nerves, as tired
feeling, sleeplessness, timidity, the patient is
easily excitable and apt to worry without
cause. If you have the least suspicion that
your heart is weak study your symptoms and
begin the use Of DIR. Miles Heart Cure, the
great heart and blood tonic, without days
delay.

Haryard's Men Who Wore the Gray.

Cambridge, Mass, June 25.-During
speech here to day at the Harvard com,
mencement dinner, Prof. N. s. Shaler, a
native of Newport, KY, made sensa-
tional plea for the Confederate soldiers
and Southern heroes, saying that al
though they wore the gray they should
have their names enrolled upon the walls
of tho memorial at Harvard with those
who fought for the Union. Many of the
Confederates who were conspicuous for
their bravery and honor during the civil
war were Harvard graduates and should
be so recognized along with those who
fought just as bravely in the belief in the
righteousness OF their cause on the North
ern side. He denounced the undue pro-
minence given to athletics and declared
that scholarly attaiDments should be the
ones accorded the greatest honor. Pre-.

Chicago Preacher on Lyuohlng.

Chicago, juno psf am no advocate
of lynohiug or of mob law, but / would
rather see community wrought to the
highest pitch over crimes that would
seem impossible this side of hell than to
remain spathetio," was the declaration
of the Rev. DR.. w. A. Bartlett, at the
First Congregational church to-day, In
a prelude on "Lynching From Another
Point of View."
III have seen so many sermons, editorials
and resolutions denouncing lynohings
and mob law that one gets the impression
that the citizens who hang or burn the
destroyer of life, homo and all that is
held sacred by womanhood are the race
offenders rather than the monster whom
they destroy.
"We seem to be SO absorbed with the
majesty of this vague term 'law' that
| real criminals are those who do not wait
for legal processes, and the violator Of
womanhood is the abused party.
1--WE shudder at the torture of the
criminal who is burned, but apparently
forget to shudder for the innocent girl
whose mental and spiritual agony is ten.
fold greater than that of the fire. This
is not race problem except 80 far as
one race are the offenders. The white
man who commits the same crime is
just as guilty.
The indignant uprising of commu
nifty, and some of the best men in it, to
avenge wrong of such awful magn
tude may be technically lawless, but the
spirit which causes the uprising is the
reflection of a higher civilization. There
are crimes so dreadful that the pure and
the chivalrous and the strong find it well
nigh impossible to endure the thought
that such adegenerate should pollute the
earth by his presence. 1t is easy to
theorize about the anarchy of mob law
but the same hand which penned tho
calm editorial might be the first to grasp
the torch if it was mother, wife or
daughter who was the victim.
II say that when you look at lynch.
ing from another viewpoint it is simply
the bursting forth of an indignation and
loathing that will not be checked. In
the Old Testament days they made short
work of such an offender.
"Lynching is certainly q bad method
and forms the habit of disorder and
makes men bloodthirsty. But if it is to
be avoided there certainly is called for a
more sure and speedy trial of these
wretches who often brazenly deny crime
amid red tape of legal processes, but
confess abjectly when confronted with
determined mon. 1t is useless to bring
to trial good men who rise up to protect
their firesides. The community will not
bear it. If men object to being burned
let them cease from crimes which make
n nation sick"

Our farmers should save all the
forage they possibly can this year
As the Augusta Chronicle says, the
failure, almost total, if not quite 80
of the Northern hay crop from pro-
tracted drought, makes the saving of
abundant or superabundant forage OF
all kinds of the greatest importance
Hay and other cattle food will be
high. priced and in great demand
We have had propitious season,
and while the North has only one
cutting OF grass, we have several
harvests. The South ought to grow
all the forage she needs and buy
none from abroad. We should raise
all the corn We require. Abundant
forage and grain should mean cx.
tensive cattle and swine raising. Ii
should also mean vast expansion OF
dairy products.

Some Of Natures Medicines.

Celery is invaluable as food for
those suffering from any form of
rheumatism, for diseases of the nerves
and nervous dyspepsia.
Lettuce for those suffering from
insomnia.
Water-cress is a remedy for scurvy.
Peanuts for indigestion. They are
especially recommended for corpulent
diabetes. Peanuts are made into a
wholesome and nutritious soup, are
Drowned and used as coffee, are
eaten as relish simply baked, or are
prepared and served as salted al.
monds.
Onions are almost the best nervine
known. No medicine is 80 useful in
cases of nervous prostration, and
there is nothing else that will 30
quickly relieve and tone up a worn
out system. Onions are useful in all
cases of coughs, cold and influenza,
insomnia, hydrophobia, scurvy, gravel
and kindred liver complaints. Eaten
every other day they will have a
clearing and whitening effect on the
complexion.
Spinach is useful to those with
gravel.
Asparagus is used to induce perspi-
ration,
Carrots for sufferers from asthma.
Turnips for nervous disorders and
for scurvy.
Raw beef proves of great benefit
to persons of frail constitution, and
to those suffering from consump-
ton. 1t is chopped fine, seasoned
with salt and heated by placing it in
dish of hot water. 1t assimilates
rapidly and affords the best nourish-
ment.
Eggs contain large amount. of
nutriment in compact, quickly
available form. Beaten up raw with
sugar they are used to clear and
strengthen the voice. With sugar
and lemon juice the beaten white of
egg is used TO relief horseness.
Honey is wholesome, strengthen
ing, cleansing, healing, nourishing.
Fresh ripe fruits are excellent for
purifying the blood and toning up
the system. AS specific remedies,
oranges are aperient. Sour oranges
are highly recommended for rheuma-
tsm.
Cranberries for erysipelas are used
externally as well as internally.
Lemons for feverish thirst in sick
Hess, for bliousness, low fevers,
rheumatism, coughs, colds, liver COM
plants, etc.
Blackberries as tonic. Useful in
all forms of diarrhGa.
Tomatoes are powerful aperient
for the liver, sovereign remedy for
dyspepsia and indigestion. Tn a
toes are invaluable in all conditions
of the system in which the use of cal
omel is indicated.
Figs are aperient and wholesome.
They are said to be valuable as food
for those suffering from cancer; they
are used externally as well as inter
nally

Bad Negroes Going North.
| From tho New York Sun. |

From the New York Sun.
The movement started in several cities
of the South to get rid of the disorderly
negro element responsible for most OF
the recent crimes in that section is gain
ing strength, and it is likely to become
general instead of fspasmodic, as formerly,
and unload large number of negro
gamblers, confidence men aud other
criminals on the North.
The towns in Southern Mississippi are
following the example of Ellisville and
Laurel in this matter and ordering out
all negro criminals, tramps and danger
GUS characters. Cooper, in Delta county,
has started the movement in Texas. The
negro loafers, negro sneak thieves and
petty criminals of that town have been
taken out by the REGULARS" whipped
and ordered to leave town.
Taking advantage of tho excitement
caused by the whipping, the houses OF
some of the better class negroes were
placarded with notices to leave. They
complained to the authorities and at a
joint meeting the whites pledged their
support to all orderly negroes, the
negroes on their part promising to do all
in their power to keep down the lawless
element and to report all violators OF
law among the negroes to the authorities

$145, 100000 Worth OF Eggs.

G. f. Thompson, of the Agricultu-
raj Department, has written a trea-
tise upon the modern hen which con-
tains information of interest. In the
first place Mr.. Thompson declares
that the average get-rich- quick con-
Germ stands in about the same rela-
ton to an up to- date hen as does an
ice wagon to an automobile. AS a
rapid accumulator of financial re-
sources the hen is in the same class
as oil wells and gold mines. The
thoroughly modern hen no longer
wastes her time Matching eggs. She
leaves that work entirely to the incu-
bator, while she devotes the time
thus gained to the more profitable
labor of producing eggs.
Prof. Thompson has discovered
that there is a proportionately smaller
number of fowls, but by the adop-
tion of labor and time saving ma
chimes the lesser number has been
able to produce constantly increas-
ing output of eggs. The treatise
contains so much interesting infor-
nation about the hen and her pro-
duct that Secretary Wilson has de-
termincd to incorporate it in the
forthcoming year book of the de-
partment of agriculture.
Prof. Thompson, who is also a
statistician of reputation, has discov-
cred that in the city of New York
each family of five persons consumes
on an average four eggs a day. In
Chicago, if it is accepted that the
city has reached a population of
100000, the ratio of egg consum.
ing is higher and every person in the
city manages to consume one whole
egg each day in the year.
The production of poultry and
eggs is the most profitable of all
industries. Mr.. Thompson estimates
that thoroughly modernizcd hen
can realize 400 per cent profit for
her owner. In 33 States and Terri
tories the value of eggs exceeds the
value of the poultry product. The
egg product in the United States
amounts to more, when measured by
dollars and cents, than the COM
bincd gold and silver production.
This does not take the poultry into
account at all.
The value of the combined poultry
and egg produc, would be nearly
double that of the precious metals.
The value of the industry is just six
times that of the wool product. Still,
eggs have taken only an inconspicu-
Gus place in tariff debates. Protec-
tionists and tariff reformers are in a
perpetual row over wool, but the
hen makes no clamor for protection
from Congress. Neither has there
been any protest against the intro
duction of machinery. Prices did
not fall with the introduction of the
incubator. Instead, the poultry
raisers of the country devoted them
selves to the education Of the hen
so that she would lay eggs during
the time the old fashioned fowl
spent in sitting and tending to her
brood of chickens.
The grand total value Of the an
nual output of eggs is now $145,00O,.
600, while that of the poultry aggre-
gates $139,OOO,0O0. Iowa leads the
States in the production of eggs, the
yearly product of that State being
1O0,000,00O dozen. Ohio comes
next with 9l,00O,000 dozcn.--Chicago
