NO MAN Is STRONGER THAN
HIS STOMACH.

Let the greatest athlete have dyspepsia
and his muscles would o fail. Physi-
cal strength is derived from food. II 8
man has insutiicient food he loses strength.
II he has no food he dies. Food is Con-
verted into nutrition through the stom-
ach and bowels. 1t depends on. the
strength of the stomach to what extent
food eaten is digested and assimilated.
People CAD die of starvation who have
abundant food to eat. when the stomach
nutrition do not perform their duty.
Thus the stomach is really the vital or
gan OF the body. If the stomach Is weak
the body will be weak also. because it Is
upon the stomach the body relies for its
strength. And as the body, considered a.
: whole. is made up of its several mem
bers and organs. so the weakness of the
body a. a consequence of uweak stpm-
ach will be distributed among the or
gans which compose the body. II the
body fs weak because it is ill-nonrlshed
that physical weakness will be found in
all the organs-heart. liver, kidneys, etc.
The liver will be torpid and inactive,
giving rise "a b~iliousness. loss of appetite,
weak nerves. feeble or irregular action Of
heart, palp!tation, dizziness. headache.
backache and kindred disturbances and
weaknesses.

FEW CARLOADS OF NEW GRAINS
HAS BEEN RECEIVED AT
TACOMA. ,
At Present Conditions Are Largely
Subject to Local Influences
One Vessel Chartered.

The local market for wheat shows
no new features, other than the gradual
transition from the old to the new
crop. Quotations have been further
lowered on this basis to SAC for blue
stem and 7Sc for club with red &c
below club, a position which exporters
are Of the opinion it will hereafter
maintain, says the West Coast Trade
published at Tacoma. Some sales are
being made upon this basis at the in
terror, and a few cars Of new wheat
have arrived at tidewater though IL
will undoubtedly be aother month be-
fore the export situation develops. At
present conditions are largely subject
to local influences. California demand
being the principal factor in the price,
making. Buying for the foreign mar
ket would necesitate a still further
shading of values to the extent Of 6
to SC, price which producers do not
indicate any inclination to accept. =
The only event of moment in the ex-
port situation was the announcement
during the week of the fixing of the
French bark La Rochefoucald for
loading on the Sound by G.. w. Nc
Near, the first definite charter for the
new crop. The vessel is still on the
other side, however, and not due to
arrive prior to about six months hence.
so that the influence Of this engage
ment is not of large Importance. Her
rate is 26s Sd, which is pronounced
the nominal charter price for the pres
ent.
Eastern markets have been influ-
enced almost entirely by temporary
factors during the week and have been
fiuctuating within wide range, botn
cash and future wheat going up like q
rocket the closing days of last week
upon reports of black rust in the
spring wheat sections, only to lose
most Of the gain later upon denials Of
the sensational rumors of the damage
being done to the crop.

RUSSIAN WOMEN.
The Many Restrictions to WhieS
They Are Now Subjected.

The Many Restrictions to Whies
They Are Now Subjected.
It Is difficult for an American to I'M
derstand that freedom as we know It
does not exist in Russia. There the le-
gal position Of woman Is far from sat
isfactory. She hardly ever belongs to
herself, but is always under the tute-
lage Of some one.
AS daughter the Russian woman Is
under the entire control Of her parents.
Her coming of age does not alter her
position. She simply changes the au-
thority of her parents for the no less
rigid authority of her husband. AS the
Russian statute puts it, zone person
cannot reasonably be expected to fully
satisfy two such unlimited powers as
that of husband and parent"
The unlimited power of the parent Is
withdrawn and that Of the husband
substituted. She cannot leave her lord
even to visit a neighhoring town witn-
ont a "pass" from him. He names tne
time she is permitted to stay, and at
the end of that time she Is bound to re-
turn to get the pass renewed.
A husband may appear In court OF
law as a witness against his wife, but
a wife is not allowed to appear against
bor husband. A wOman's evidence In
Russia is always regarded as OF less
weight than that Of man.-Harpers

A FAMOUS STAR GROUP.
The Constellation Orion In Legend
and Literature.

The Constellation Orion In Legend
and Literature.
The constellation Orion is mentioned
in the literature Of all ages. In Egypt
it represented Horus, the young or ris-
ing sun, in boat surmounted by stars,
closely followed by Sirius, which was
shown as COW. 1t has also been
found sculptured on the walls of
Thebes 5000 years ago. And on the
men Of that early time it shOne down
from the same position and with the
same brightness as it does on us today,
a striking example Of the unchange-
ableness of the heavens.
From the days of the early HindoOs
to the present the constellation has for
some reason borne always stormy
character. AllusiOns to it's direful inf1u-
ence are found everywhere among the
classic writer's. Thus Milton wrote:
When with fierce winds Orion arrived
Hath vexed the Red sea coast.
The loss of the Roman squadron in
the first Punic war was ascribed to the
fleets having sailed just after the ris-
ing Of Orion. The group has also been
employed as a calendar sign, its morn
ing rising indicating the beginning Of
summer, it's midnight rising the season
Of grape gathering and its early even
ing rising the arrival Of winter, with
it's attendant storms. In recent times
the group has always represented a

Fig Sunday.

Palm Sunday is known in England
as Fig Sunday because in many dis
tricts figs are freely eaten on that day.
The custom is common in the villages
of Bedford, Bucks, Hartford and
Northampton and is found in some
parts Of north Wales AS Palm Sunday
approaches the shop windows of Dun
stable are filed with figs in readiness
for the crowds who go to the top of
Dunstable downs to regale themselves
on that day. At Kempton, in HEREFORD
shire, to keep warser' is to feast on
figs or fig buildings with your friends
on Palm Sunday. Fig Sunday is proba-
bly, connected with the story Of the
barren fig tree, which forms part OF
one Of the lessons for the day.-London

xn Incident In Which Miss AAAA
Dickinson Figured.
Miss Anna Dickinson travelled everY.
where Independently and saw humxA
nature in all Of it's lairs. Writing to Z
woman friend once, she described e.
ception given by wealthy Cinnamon In
a restaurant kept by Chi Lung in San
Francisco, and she was the guest OF
honor She said that she saw a serv-
ant coming toward her with box d.
vided into many compartments. with
different kinds of nuts and candies In
the smaller trays. She picked out half
a dozen or more and laid them on thu
arm Of the chair, which served as IA
BILE. AS the attendant passed on to
others she saw that each took only one
bonbon, and she was much embar-
raised.
But when the servant approached the
chief Chinaman, the one who had orig
mated the reception, he took large
handful. and those after him did the
same, and then Miss Dickinson felt 10.
lieved. She wrote:
AFTER learned that I must have
shocked all of those educated, cultured
Cinnamon as much as you or / should
have been shocked If we had invited
Chinaman whom we respected to dine
with us and he had taken a whole fried
chicken and torn 1t limb from limb at
our table. In such an event would you

have taken other chickens and thus
dismembered them?

EAR OF DlONYSiUS.
One Of the Famous Whispering Places
of the World.

One of the Famous Whispering Places
of the World.
Among the notable whispering places
Of the world is the Ear Of Diony-
sius" Of ancient Syracuse. 1t is in
the shape Of a parabOlic curve, ending
In an elliptical arch, with sides par
allel to its axis, perfectly smooth and
covered with a slight stalactitic incrus-
tation that renders its repercussions
amazingly sonorous. It Is 81 feet high,
from II to 80 in breadth and 1877 deep
It has an awful and gloomy appear
ance, which. with its singular shape,
perhaps gave rise to the popular and
amusing paradox that Dionysius had It
constructed for the confinement Of
those whom he deemed inimical to his
authority and that from the little
apartment above he could hear all the
conversation among the captives who
were brought to the ancient town of
Syracuse in the time of its splendor,
when it was the largest in Sicily. The
sound Of words uttered with a low
voice is augmented in vaults or gal
leries so as to become audible at con-
siderable distance from the speaker.
A like effect takes place in less de-
gree when sound ascends from the bot
tom Of a deep we'll or when words are
uttered at one extremity Of a long cor
ridor or passage in building. If a
pin be dropped into a well the sound
produced when it strikes the water is
distinctly heard at the mouth or the
sounds Of words spoken near the sur
face of any well is similarly augment
ed. Try it.-New Orleans Times-Demo-

real farmers nowadays drive into town in
dcuble-seated carriages with matched
bays curried so that you could see to
comb your hair in their glossy sides. The
single rigs sparkle in the sun, conveying
young men and young women OF such
clean-cut, high-bred features as to make
us wonder And yet l don't know why
we should wonder, either. They all come
from good old stock. The young fellows
run a little too strongly to patent leather
shoes and their horses are almost too

all right. If their clothes set better than
you thought they would why you must

hue is asserted to be the effect of the

Next to diamonds, sapphires are the
