For Future Nut Eaters.

This seasons crop of nuts,s chestnuts beechnuts, walnuts, butternuts, etc, will possibly not rise above the aver. age, but the yield of the future prom ises to be much greater, says the Bos. ton Advertiser. During the past two years many farmers in the western part of Massachusetts have been set ting out orchards of certain varieties ot European chestnuts. Not only do they bear more quickly, but more prolifical ly, than any known American variety When the orchards once begin theil yield the nut harvest In this state will be of considerable proportions, where as in the past agricultural interests have paid little attention to 1t.

How to Evade Grip.

'"The so called epidemics of grip which usually appear every winter" said 8 well known physician, 'are more imag- mary than real. This troublesome dis ease shows a marked increase immedi- ately after fall of snow. This is en- drely due to peculiar atmospheric con diions, which follow snowfall and which affect the bronchial system in such way as to bring about the un- pleasant grip. After an unusually se- were snowstorm number of years ago I had as many as eighty calls day, all pure cases of the grip. It Is the day after the snowfall that one must take the necessary precautions to evade the disease"

 T\HERE was certain atmos-

 evening that warned Mrs. Bowser of trouble to come. As mat ter of fact, several things had annoyed him during the day, and on the street car coming home a drunken man had insisted on recognizing him as a long lost brother. and loafer had stepped on his feet and then called him liar. It was only natural that he should blame Mrs. Bowser and hold her re- sponsible, and all through the dinner hour he was casting about for an ex- cuse to open his batteries. Mrs. Bow ser was watching the thermometer, and they had no sooner reached the sitting room than she said:l
 "Mr. Bowser, the gas bill came in to- day. and it is $1 more than last month. This extravagance on your part has got s-o stop or I shall know the reason why. You seem to be doing your best to drive me to the poorhouse.''
 tsWh-whats that?" exclaimed MT. Bowser as he looked at her and won dered if he heard aright

Mercury wings, done in silver or sfi- yer braid. are becoming vastly popular with the younger set, says the. New York Press. Of course the dowagers like Mrs. Astor and Mrs. Mills will not abandon a tiara of diamonds for the Mercury wings, even though they are the latest fad, but the Misses Mills wore them at the recent Sloane ball in New York, and many others were seen with the same style of ornament. Few were of such delicate design ag those worn by the twins.

An Omcer's Surprise In Colombia.

A naval officer who has just returned from Colombia is showing check he na, says the Washington correspond ent of the New York World. He went in one morning and got a cup of cof- fee and roll. The waiter gave him a check for $4,6OO. Good Lord!'' splut- tered the naval officer in the best Span ish he knew. ''What do you mean by this? More than $4,OO0 for a cup of coffee! It's an outrage. I can't pay it, and won'ty The proprietor came around and suavely explained that that price was in Colombian paper currency, for which the ratio that morning was $23, GOO to S1 in gold.

Tovrn's Greeting to Mrs. Langtry.

Town's Greeting to Mrs. Langtry.s
 Lily Langtry got an ovation at Lang try. Tex, while she was en route to the Pacific coast, says an El Paso dispatch. The town was named fourteen years ago in honor of Mrs. Langtry. Twen- ty-five cowboys and 150 other country folk were at the station to meet the train, and a speech of welcome was made by the daughter of prominent cattleman. Mrs. Langtry received a gift of live tarantula in silver flli- gree cage, black pet bear, span of mules and a big six shooter She de clined the mules, but the bear will be sent to her farm in California.

How to Cure Hiccoughs.

When troubled with hiccoughs take a small piece of sugar and allow it to dis solve very slowly in the mouth or drink water very slowly. Another remedy is to have some one locate the pulse. The person afflicted should then take very deep breath, holding it as long as possi- ble, the other to keep steady pressure with the fingers upon the pulse.

NEW WAY TO PAY OLD DEBT

Kansas City Merchants Busin ess
 Lessen From Country Customer.
 A Main street merchant in Kansas City, Mo, who has wholesale depart ment in connection with his retail busi- ness had an experience few days ago with country merchant the like of which, he says, has not been duplicated in his thirty years business experience, says the Kansas City Star.
 The out of town merchant owed the Kansas City house $2OO for goods pur- chased month previous. The bill was due, and a letter was written re- questing payment. A letter came back saying that the writer was somewhat short of cash and requested an exten- sion of ninety days on the bill. The Kansas City merchant wrote another letter saying that he must Insist upon the payment of his bill and suggested that if the customer was ''hard up' the local bank would undoubtedly accom- modate him with loan for $2OO, so that the bill might be paid
 Tn seventy-two hours the Kansas City man received reply, which he is car rying around and showing to his friends as certificate of the nerviest business proposition ever issued in Missouri. The letter follows:
 Dear Sir-Your letter of Dec. 26 came today and noted. I was much pleased with your suggestion about borrowing money from the bank here. In fact was so pleased that this morning went to the bank and asked for a loan. I was told that 1t would be necessary to get an- other signature on the note besides my own. Now. don't care to ask any one down here to indorse for me. but as you and have had considerable business to- gether I fnciose the note for your sigma ture. Please sign just below where I have written my name
 You will probably notice that the note is for $500 instead of $2oO, the amount of your bill You see. owe two other fell lows. who handle the same kind of goods as you. $50 each, and I thought as long as you and are going to pay your bill we might as well borrow enough to pay the other fellows at the same time.

There is a passage in Guy Wtmore
CarryPs just published posthumous
novel, ''The Transgressions of Andrew
Vane,'' which we'll describes the charm
Paris has for a certain type of mind.
The words are spoken as the exquisite
Radwalader and his friend are driving
along the boulevards in the waning
light of a perfect day. This is the
hour when Paris seems to me to de-
serve her title of siren. In spring and
summer at least 1 always try to pass
it out of doors. There is a fascination
for me that never grows stale in the
coming of twilight, when the street
lamps begin to wink and the cafes are
lighting up. Did you ever feel softer
air or see d more tenderly saffron sky?
And this constant murmur of passing
carriages, this hum of vices, broken,
more often than anywhere else on earth,
by laughter-isn't it life, as one never
understands the word elsewhere? Isn't
it full of suggestion and appeal? I've
never been able to analyze the charm
of the Champs-Elysees at sunset more
nearly than to say that it seems to
blot out ones remembrance of every
thing else in the world that is sordid
and commonplace, and to bring boldly
to the fore the significance of all that
is sweet and gay. Can you imagine
considering the price of stocks or the
drift of politics just now? 1 can't. I
think of flowers, and Burgundy in
slender stemmed glasses, and tziganes
playing waltz music, and women, with
good teeth, laughing. I smell roses and
trefle. I see mirrors and candlesticks
with openwork shades, silver over red,
and sleek walters bending down with
bottles swathed in napkins I hear
violins and the swish of silk skirts. 7
taste caviar-and I feeI-that I have
underestimated Providence, after air.

Paine'S Celery
Compound
Permanently Cures Sick and
Nervous Headaches that
Make Life Miserable.

Sick and nervous headaches are amongst
the worst ills of life. The man or woman who
is subject to headache at irregular intervals,
goes through life bearing load of misery
and wretchedness that is terrible to think
of.
Headaches as a rule, result from a dis
ordered condition of the nervous system.
Mental excitement, loss of sleep, bodily
fatigue, and disordered digestion are exciting
causes When the brain becomes tired and
debilitated, the whole nervous system is weak
ened, and headaches result. If the liver is
sluggish, the kidneys inactive, and digestion
deranged, headaches invariably follow. To
cure and prevent headache, the nervous sys-
tenn must be strengthened and vitalized.
The most persistent cases of headache, nervous
feeblehess, and sleeplessness, are permanently
cured by Paine's Celery Compound; it is the
great reconstructant of the nervous system.
Mrs. Henry Westrick, ST. Clair, Mich, tells
of her release from suffering as follows:-
- have been troubled with dyspepsia and
sick headache for q number of years. About
every week l would have bad spell of sick
headache, but since I began using Paines
Celery Compound, my dyspepsia is gone, and
I do not have any more headaches. I feel
better than | have for years

Mr.. Beckley, in reply to a question
of the chair, said that now in taking
up the act there was something to work
on, and he agreed that 10 follow Mr..
Cooper's suggestions would be the
proper program.
Mr.. Watson said that it would be an
exceedingly bad thing for the commits
sion not to be able to get around the
legal phases as to supervisors, as there
were nearly all lawyers on the COM
mission. He did not think it would
be well to have one man elected as
supervisor as he would be practically
the potentate of that county. Neither
did he favor the appointment of
Board of Supervisors by the Governor.
He suggested going through the 1903
act, section by section.
Mr.. Stewart wanted material first to
work on, such as the briefs filed before
the Supreme Court by Mr.. Cooper in
re the County Act of 1903
The application of Geo. D. Thfelan to
for so for each meeting attended, was
read.
A discussion was had as to funds.
Senator Crabbe sale he had talked with
Acting Governor Atkinson as to mon
ey, but received a discouraging answer.
There We're absolutely no funds upon
which to draw for the purpose. Who
ever was selected would have TO await
the pleasure of the next legislature for
reimbursement.
Mr.. Watson nominated Thielan, sec
onded by Crabbe, Stewart nominated
]. D. Avery, seconded by Beckley. This
caused a smile to pass around as the
matter was put up to Chairman Coop
err who announced a tie He said
he did not relish the position in which
he was placed. The chair decided by
favoring Mr.. Avery on condition that
he work on the terms outlined by
Thielan.
Stewart then suggested a peep into
the work of the committee on the codiE
fcatiou of the laws.
Mr.. Cooper stated that Mr.. Judd of
the Code Commission had announced
their work was nearly complete. and
its results would be available to the
County Act Commission.
Mr.. Cooper opened a copy OF the 1868
Act stating that the Commission might
begin by eliminating the sections re-
ferring to revenue matters. \ simple
reference to the tax laws might be suf-
fcient.

Chairman Cooper suggested that the
Commission in its work might offer
amendments to the tax and license laws
to be embodied in letter to the Gov

form for the Act, one which would
meet the wishes of the people and draw
the sting from it to which the business
interests We're so antagonistic in the
last Act presented to the Legislature. 1t
should be an Act which should not ma
terially increase the expense of carry

journment was taken until next Tues

RAISING GALVESTON
HOW THE WHOLE CITY WILL Be
 ELEVATED ABOVE THE GULF.

Two Square Miles of Territory to Be { FfIied In From Seven to Twenty Feet-EnEineer Lindon W. BsteA Who Originated the Plan.
 To raise itself bodily above the dan ger level of flood is the mighty task that the city of Galveston has under taken. The work involves 100000 cubic yards of filling. covering an area of approximately two square miles which will be graded up from seven to twenty feet
 The storm of September. 1900, which destroyed $40,O0O,000 worth of prop erty and more than 5000 lives, flooded Galveston to a height of 15.1 feet above mean low water. No sooner did the city recover from the awful blow than a movement was begun to prevent a recurrence of such disasters,
 A sea wall was the first measure Of preeaution decided on, and more than a million dollars was promptly voted for its construction. Work was be gun in April, 1902, and concrete wall of the strongest make is now nearly
