The value of Fresh Air.

In the museum connected with the
Edinburgh university is an exhibit
that is a striking object lesson of the
value of fresh air. A professor has
secured the lungs of an Eskimo, a
Londoner and a coal miner. He has
had them preserved by chemical proc
ess, and they are now side by side in
a glass case. The Eskimo's lungs are
pure white, the Londoner's lungs are a
dirty brown, and the coal miners lungs
are jet black. The Eskimo had kept
his lungs clean not because he knew
more about breathing than the Lon
doner or the coal miner, but because
he lived in land of snow fields and
spent his time in the open air.

When the Hand Is Kissed.

In Germany and Austria the custom
still prevails among the upper classes
Of society of the men kissing the
hands of the ladies, although the prac-
tice has been abandoned in England,
Scandinavia, Spain, ETC., as well as in
France, except among certain Of the
members Of the ancient regime in the
Faubourg st. German at Paris. In
Austria the women are accustomed to
make a distinction between the right
and the left hand Thus the right
hand Is extended to be kissed by in
feriors, while the left, as nearest the
heart, is reserved for the kiss of peo-
pie of equal social rank.

THEY ACTUALLY
DO THE WORK
Food Eaten Is Worthless Unless d.
gested-Some Stomachs Must
Have HeIp

Food taken into the stomach which.
from the nature of the food or the condi-
ton of the stomach. is not digested, is
worse than no food at all. This is a true
statement as far as it goes and a great
many dyspeptics go only this far with
their reasoning. They argue with them
selves that because their stomachs do not
do the work given them. they must be
given less work: in other words. they
must be starved. 1t would be just as
sensible for business man who is unable
to do all his own work to cut down his
business to his own capacity. as it is for
a man TO starve himeslf 10 relieve his
stomach. The sensible business man en-
ploys help and goes forward with his
business. Likewise the sensible dyspep-
tic VIII employ help for his stomach
and give his body proper nourishment
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets actually do
the work assigned to them. They re-
lieve weak and overburdened, stomachs
of a great portion of digestive action.
Their component parts are Identical with
those OF the digestive fluids and secre-
tions of the stomach and they simply take
up the grind and carry on the work just
the same as a good. strong. healthy stom-
ach would do 1t.
On this account Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
lets are perfectly nsturaI in their action
and effects. They do not cause any un-
natural or violent disturbance in the
stomach or bowels. They themselves
digest the food and supply the system
with all the nourishment contained IN
what is eaten and carry out nature $
ance Of the body.
How much more sensible is this method
than that employed BY many sufferers
from weak stoulachs BY this means

ABOUT DOMESTIC EXPORTS.
Those Exported in February Exceeded
Any Former Record

Washington. April 2.-Domestic manu-
factures exported IN February. 1904. were
greater in value than in any preceding
February, and formed alos a larger per
cent of the total exports than in any
preceding February. For the eight months
ending with February the total manufac-
lures also exceeded the total in the cor
responding eight months of any earlier
year The fiscal year 1900 was the banner
year inexports Of manufactures from the
United States, but from present indica-
tons the fiscal year 1904 will show an
even larger total of manufactures ex-
ported. The month of February shows a
total of SO million dollars worth of manu-
features exported. against 81 million dol
lars in 1900. while for the eight months
ending with February the total is 2SS
millions, against 26s millions in the same
months ending with February in 1909.
These figures, which are presented by
the Department of Commerce and Labor
through its Bureau of Statistics in its
publication entitled advance Sheets
from the Monthly Summary of Commerce
and Finance" indicate pretty clearly that
the fiscal year 1894 will show a larger
total of manufactures exported than any
preceding year. In the eight months for
which a record is already made the total
exceeds by 20 millions that Of the highest
record previously attained. that of I9Oo
while the fact that February. 1904 ex-
ceeds by millions the figures of Feb

crease noted in the earlier months of the
year Is continuing in the latest availab Bile
