Pain in the Limbs After Meals.

People frequently complain of pain
in the legs after eating. There is
just as much sense in having leg
ache" after eating as there is in haV-
ing headache. One is Just as natural
as the other, and is due to the fact
that when one takes food into the
stomach the irritation set up there
causes an accumulation of blood IN
the portal vein, and this compression
upon the nerves affects the SYM
pathetic nerves, and the pain In the
legs is the reflex irritation. That is
one reason for restless sleep after
eating.
Eat nothing at night except some
thing simple-a little rice cakes
or rice flakes, for instance, with a
little fruit. Butter and bread, fats,
cakes and pie, etc, keep the stomach
worried all night long; whereas some
simple thing like rice, or fruit, which
requires little digestion, will pass from
the stomach in an hour or tWo-by
bedtime, perhaps and the whole ner'
vous system is given a chance to rest
Good Health.

could not restrain his admiration.
''It seems wonderful to me-" he said.

He went into the house and returned
with his wife. to whom he presented
his obliging neighbor She seemed even
more enthusiastically appreciative than
Krucewich, If possible.
"Why, there's really nothing remark
able about it." said Cooke, modestly,
after he had made another circuit.
aren't you awfully tired?" asked
Mrs. Krucewich, solicitously.
This is mere play" laughed Cooke
starting another round. When he had
worked back to the place of beginning
Krucewich insisted that he should
stop. "Tll hunt up a man. he said.

The Cat Returned.

At a recent gathering of the clergy
of his diocese Bishop Lawrence told
the following story on one of those
present:
There was in this clergyman's con-
gregation a woman named Thatcher,
who had the reputation of being a
great gossip and chronic bore. Es-
pecially did she delight in calling up
on the wife of her minister and pick
ing to pieces the other members or
the congregation. When the good
man saw her coming he escaped oIt
the back door and remained away I'M
til he thought it safe to return.
One afternoon, after staying out the
usual two hours, he returned nome,
and Immediately upon opening the
door called to his wife in tones OF
resignation:
Mary, has that old cat gone YETI
To save her husbands reputation
for hospitality the wife promptly re-
piled:
Eyes, dear, long ago, and Mrs.
Thatcher is here now. Boston Her.

The success of alfalfa depends so

care should now be given to prospective
alfalfa fields that are to be seeded this

the first summer blowing given 1t
should not be over deep, or cloGs will
be turned up which no summer rains
will pulverize. Turn blowing to depth

bed for alfalfa a four-inch soil well

Sentimental Surgery.

A party of college students, celebrat
ing a football victory in New York, ran
into an unexpected difficulty in the
shape of some policemen, and after the
smoke of the battle had cleared away,
as the political orators say, it was
necessary to cart one of the young men
to hospital and fix up his head.
The young surgeon in charge of such
cases put the collegian on the table and
looked him over He had long cash
in his forehead. The surgeon cleansed
the wound and began to sew it up. He
labored for half an hour and then burst
into the office of the doctor in charge.

one of the terms offered by the liberal
party and those in arms against the
government
The liberal leaders characterize the
conduct of the government as treason
to the republic, while Secretary of
War Taft regards it as I'm unwarrant-
ed and dishonorable attempt to force
the hand of the United States into
Intervention.
American Intervention in Cuba
seemed to be made imperative by the
decision of President Palma and his
moderate party of colleagues to abdi-
cate This would leave Cuba nracti-
cally without a government. The Uni
ted States, therefore. must take armed
possession of the island.
The coup was an unexpected climax
to a series of sensational incidents
which marked the rupture of all nego-
tiations between the American commits
sioners and the Panama government.
First-President Palma and his cabinet
advisers fatty rejected the basis of com
promise suggested by Secretary Taft.
Second-At a special cabinet meeting
President Palma announced that he would
resign to Congress on Friday Vice Pres
ident Capote, too, made similar an
nouncement.
Third-All the members of the cabinet
and all the moderate party members of
Congress decided to abandon their official
positions without resigning thus leaving
Cuba without constitutional govern
ment.
Fourth-Gen. Nunez declared TO Secre-
tary Taft that he would resign his posi-
ton as Governor of Havana province on
Friday and that all provincial officers
would resign.
The purpose of these decisions by
President Palma and his moderate
party associates was obvious. They
hoped to leave Cuba without Il govern
ment and thus compel the United
States not only to intervene to pre-
serve order but to create Il new gov
eminent and administer the affairs Of
the island for an indefinite length of
time
Secretary Taft made no effort to
conceal his Impotence over the situa-
ton. He regarded PaIma's coup as
an unwarranted and dishonorable at
tempt to force the hand of the United
States into intervention Secretary
Taft made no effort to conceal his dis
gust over the petty methods of the gov
eminent leaders.

TORTOISE SHELL.
Habits of the Marine Turtle That
Yields Ii.

The American Consul at Colon de-
scribes the hawks bill" turtle, which
abounds in the Gulf of Mexico and
Caribbean Sea, and which is one OF
the varieties from which the world $
supply of tortoise shell is derived.
Turtles caught in these waters vary
in size from one to four and half
feet long, with maximum weight OF
$50 pounds, and the average weight
of shell obtained from each is from
six to seven pounds. The CONNER
cial value of tortoise shell depends
upon the thickness and size of the
plates rather than upon the brillian-
cy of the co]ors The price of shell
in this market fiuctuates from So to
Sc (gold) a pound AS the best prices
are obtained in England, the largest
amount of the shell shipped from the
Isthmus goes to that country.
The shells shipped from the Colon
district are taken from turtles caught
on the Lagarto and Sam Bias coasts
of the Caribbean Sea during the
months of May, June, July and Aug
ust, when they approach the shore to
deposit eggs, which are laid on the
sandy beaches above high water mark
at night; holes are dug about one
and one-half feet deep and the eggs
deposited therein. Generally ABOUT
three layings are made during a pc
Rod of nine weeks. The eggs are
lightly covered with sand and left 10
be Matched out by the heat of the
sun. The turtles are caught either
while on shore or in the water by
means of nets. AS a rale, they are
killed Immediately after being caught,
cleaned and the shell frame washed
with sand. But on the San Bias
coast the Indians do not kill them,
but at once proceed to remove the
shell by subjecting the turtles to
great heat, afterward throwing the
turtles back into the sea. BY the
application of heat the successive
plates of shell come off very easily.
The hawks bill turtle feeds on
seaweeds, crabs, mollusks and t1sh.
Being mostly carnivorous, the meat
is not considered wholesome, differ
ing in this respect from the herblVor-
Gus turtles.

A "BaIloon Railway"

A stationary balloon is fastened to
a slide running along a single steel
rail. The rail is fastened to side
of a steep mountain, which ordinary
railroads could not climb, except
through deep cuts and tunnels. The
balloon is to float about thirty
feet over the ground, and a heavy
steel cable connects it with the rail
The conductor can, at will, make the
balloon slide up and down the side
of the mountain. For going up the
motive power is furnished by hydro
gen gas. while the descent is caused
by pressure of water, which is poured
into a large tank at the upper end of
the road and which serves as ballast.
Suspended from the balloon is a cir
cular car with room for ten pas
sengers. The cable goes from the
bottom of the balloon through the
centre of the car to regulator of
speed which is controlled by the CON
ductor. The inventor of. this rail
road claims that his patent will force
all incline roads out of existence
