Rheumatism

Like Neuralgia, is now known to be nervous disease. The kidneys become weak through lack of nerve energy, and fail to filter the uric acid from the blood; this acid attacks and burns the nerves and muscles, and consumes the oil in the joints, producing inflammation, fever, swelling-pain.
 To cure Rheumatism, then, you must restore the kidney nerves and muscles, and neu- tralize the effect of the acid upon the joints and tissues with Dr. Miles Restorative Nervine, a nerve medicine, which has made many cures of this painful disease. Nervine strengthens the kidney nerves and increases the circulation, and relief is assured.
 "BelOro l LOOK LIT, NdllcS l~cTVtIios had been looking for cure for Rheumatism for g years. The last time was laid up for several months, could not get out of bed or set foot on the floor I tried remedies to rub in, to drink. doctors prescriptions. etc. but none of them had any effect: One day I read about Dr. Mics Nervine and got a bottle. After the first dose had good nights rest. and after taking half a bottle the pains disappeared. and I went out and walked all around the town. In week I went to work. and was perfectly cured but continued to take the medicine for a time to make sure the pains would not come back"

No, ma'am, don't like 'em," said MT. Cumrox, with emphasis. I'm free to say these dialect stories make me tired. Half the words in 'em ain't in the dictionary"
 But you might cultivate liking for them" said his wife's sister. Tt is something like music. You may not have much of an ear for it at first, but if you keep at it you will soon appre- ciate it."
 Well, maybe I will some day. But I'd rather have something solid. I'd like to begin on some of my youngest girls school books and go right through 'em. That's the sort of reading that I'd enjoy spending time on."
 He picked up one of his daughter books which happened to be lying near. It was copy of Virgil, which his daughter had been translating into English. He stared solemnly at the first page of the Latin epic for awhile and then slowly turned the leaf. When his eyes had gotten down to the middle of the next page he laid the volume down with a sigh.
 ''It's no use" he exclaimed, regret fully.
 What is of no use?"

BATTERED BUT CHEERFUL.
A Little Negro Patient at a New York Hospital Makes the DOc-
 tors Laugh.

Mirth and misery commingle oddly st times to tighten the burden of wretchedness and woe which is the lot of the unfortunates who are inmates of the city's great hospitals. A score of wan-faced sufferers were distributed among the neat white cots of a medical ward in Bellevue one day when a new patient was brought in. He was . diminutive colored man, short. squat, thick set, black as ebony. with heavy protruding lips and bullet-shaped head sparsely sprinkled with kinky gray black hair. He said he was George Smith, B years old. and was born in ''Loudon county, Virglny, sah." All was quiet in the ward save an occasion al groan from some weary sufferer. when the doctors. four of them, grave faced and dignified. came to examine the new arrival.
 Well, George, how do you feel3" asked the house physician, bending over the cot.
 The little darky looked at the doctors aslsance for 8 moment, rolled his big eyes around, and said mournfully:
 'I'se hungry"
 Have you any pain ?" asked the doo- tor.
 "No, sah, 'ceptin' I'se hungry"
 Then the doctors proceeded to mako the usual examination. In the middle of his back they found criss-cross cicatrix.
 "How did you get this?" the doctor asked.
 "Cow-bunl<le," replied the patient. tersely.
 'Whas's ,his?" continued the inquie- itor, placing his finger on big depres- sion in the calf of the patients leg.
 "Dorg chawed It," said Smith, apa- thetically.
 A smile fitted across the faces of the doctors and a patient in the next cot forgot to moan. Next the physician found a mass of irregular scars, which looked as if an eight-inch shell had exploded and left it's marks upon tho patients face and neck.
 ''Explosion?" queried the doctor. pointing to the spot.
 "Mewl kicked me-, Sa'N smith With . you-make-me-tired air.
 Even the grave equanimity of the men of medicine was disturbed, and pa tients in adjacent cots laughed out right Further examination showed . network of scars on his face and neck resembling the tracks in the New York Central freight yards.
 "Razer fite," was Smiths explans- ton.
 "And where did you get these 2" said the doctor, with an amused smile, lay ing his fingers on three big welts on the negro's scalp.
 "Cakewalk. Kin hev Q chaw uv tor baker," he went on, and the word was in au outburst of laughter.-N. Y. Sun.

Largest Bust on Record.

The bust of Sir Joseph Paxton, the architect of the famous Crystal palace in London, is now being moved from it's old position on the Terrace to~the Pa rade. The work of moving it is much like that of moving house, for the bust is one of the largest ever made. It was completed in 1909 and stands over nine feet in height. Sir Joseph Paxton was born in .Bedfordshire in 1903, and was knighted for his services in designing the Crystal palace. He died in Syden- ham in 1865. His plan for the Crystal palace was accepted after 233 other plans had been declined. He also won fame as landscape gardener and arcbi- tect, and was elected to parliament as a iberal.-Chicago Tribune.

THE MODERN SANDWICH.
Made Now in Sixty-FOur Var1etfeo and Now Kinds Con stantly
 Being Added.

4 nan of 50 who had chanced never wa a boy, when they were confined principally to three varieties-ham, tongue and corned beef-and when, aside from what kind he would take. the chief question was whether he would have mustard on it, might be sur- prised to learn that nowadays sand wiches are made in more varieties than his own years number; considerably more. In one big lunch establishment there are made sandwiches in GA va- rieties. The differences between some of these varieties would be slight, but at the same time they would be clear and distinct; and there would regular ly be found on sale on the counter more than 20 varieties always ready. The others include varieties more or less peculiar to some season. or sand- wiches supplied to order, as many sandwiches are nowadays.
 Besides the familiar ham. tongue. corned beef, roast beef. turkey and chicken sandwiches. there are sold in these days. either already prepared or made to order, a dozen varieties of what may be called fish sandwiches. these including the commonly sold sardine sandwiches and anchovy sand wiches and sandwiches made with little fishes called sardelles. and solm- on sandwiches, and sandwiches made with muskallonge, soft shell crab sand wiches, lobster sandwiches, shrimp sandwiches. codfish sandwiches, and sand wiehes made with fried codfish cake between slices of bread. Of cheese sandwiches there are ten at least, in- cluding many regularly supplied and others made to order.
 There arc sold nowadays sandwiches made of various kinds of salads. and orders for such sandwiches are not un- usual. In place where sandwiches in great variety are sold, if a customer asked for a salad sandwich the waiter wouldn't need to ask what was want ed, he would know and he would get it for him without question, as mat ter of course, and the same would be true if the request were for tomato sandwich or sandwich made with watercresses.
 Of combination sandwiches, made with more than one kind of meat, as sandwiches of ham and chicken. chicken and tongue and so on, here are various kinds. as there are also of sandwiches made of various materials combined; as, for instance. sandwiches made of minced ham and chow chow, sandwiches of chopped chicken, sand wiches of minced tongue and chicken, egg sandwiches, and so on. So that it would not be very difficult to enu~ merate the 64 varieties of sandwiches made and new varieties are being add ed all the time.-N. |. Sun.

Lake Tahoe.

One of the most beautiful lakes in the world lies in the heart of the Sierras on "The Overland Route," 6,220 feet above the sea level, and is completely hemmed in by mountain walls, whose rugged peaks rise in many places to an additional height of from 2,000 to 4,000 feet. It is twenty three miles wide and from 100 to 2,O0O feet deep. The entire re- zion surrounding the lake is pie turesque almost beyond descrip- tion, and a never-ending delight to the eye. This region is reached only over the Union Pacific and it's connections, the fast trains ria this route reach California many hours ahead of all com petitors. Inquire of

It is something that would de- light the heart of a boy and furnish him with endless amusement. Thess models are kept until after the piece is produced and are then put away on shelves, alas! only to warp and be- come covered with dust. But tho mas ter painters work does not end hero by any means, for there are lights to be arranged, since they play an irnpor- tant part in the performance, and must be regulated by the scheme ot color, so there are long conferences ith electricians and many discussions with the makers of glass shades where by the exact tints may be obtained. When every detail has been settled then the great acres of canvas are spread on the paint frames and the drawing is begun. Large china pots are used for the colors. These are filled with paints, which are mixed with water and size, and enormous brushes put the pigment on the can vas. It is wonderful to watch the artist, who dashes on the paint with no apparent care and who has to work fast to cover the surface before the color dries, which it does quickly.-N. v Commercial A1VprtiSer

and how his present trip was brought
about He said:
'SOme of the best hunting in the
world is to be had right here in Amer
lea. I've hunted here before, and
always look forward with pleasure to
visit to this country. I've hunted
lions in Africa, but, bless me. there is
no sport in it. The game there is too
plentiful. One could do the work as

don't see any fun in perching on
rock and shooting into a drove of lazy
lions
Il like nothing better than to get
on the trail Of one OF your mountain
lions. They are full of fight, quick
and as wary as a beast can be. Then,
too, your Rocky mountain goats are
nimble little fellows. When a hunter
bags one of them he has something to
show for his trouble There's plenty Of
work stalking the goat, and it takes all
the nerve and staying powers one can
possess. The African bush buck ga
zelle is a wary beast to follow. He's
full of fight and quick as lightning.
| made q clumsy shot once at one of
these fellows and he nearly killed me.
After fired he lowered his Tyre shaped
horns and came at me. | lodged him
the first lunge and reloaded before he
came back for another. He wheeled
and rushed again, but l stopped him
with a ball.
II have come here this time just to
try my hand with the tarpon. | had

100000 in the national treasury speaks

finances. One thing about Cuba is de-
serving of the greatest praise, and that
is the attention that is being given to
the construction of good roads. They
are building them all over the island

said it was as good as anything in
Great Britain, where the country roads
have been for generations held up as a

Another thing worthy of mention is
that the cleanliness taught by the
Americans is being perpetuated under
the republic Havana is a beautifully
clean city, far and away freer of dirt
than most of our own large towns.
Since coming back / have seen in some
New York papers articles that tend to
show the likelihood of a yellow fever
epidemic in Cuba. In my opinion this
is an uncalled for effort 10 work up

imaginary, and it was q wrong thing to
give it such publicity.
Cuba, l may say finally, is rich in
resources, but it is no country to which
Americans of limited means should
think of going. The chances of money
making down there are confined to
those who have large capital. Opera
lions only on a big scale are feasible,
