Trust to Nature.

A great many Americans, both men
and women, are thin, pale and puny, with
poor circulation, because they have ill
treated their stomachs by hasty eating
or too much eating, by consuming alco-
holic beverages, or by too close conine-
ment to home, office or factory, and in
consequence the stomach must be treated
In a natural way before they can rectify
their earlier mistakes. The muscles in
many such people, in fact in every weary,
thin and thin blooded person, do their
work with great difficulty. AS result
fatigue comes early, is extreme and lasts
long. The demand for nutritive aid is
health every tissue, bone, nerve and
muscle should take from the blood GER
tain materials and return to 1t certain
others. 1t is necessary to prepare the
stomach for the work Of taking up from
the food what Is necessary to make good,
RICH, red blood. We must go to Nature
for the remedy. There were certain
roots known to the Indians OF this
country before the advent of the whites
which later came TO the knowledge Of
the settlers and which are now growing
rapidly in professional favor for the cure
OF obstinate stomach and liver troubles.
These are found TO be safe and yet GER

A Wonderful Memory.

Magliabecci had memory so ex-
traordinary that 1t seemed to dwarf all
his other mental faculties. He read all
ancient and modern languages that
had literature and was familiar with
the title and contents Of every known
book. He once said that he could re-
peat the titles Of over 100000 books
written in many languages on diver
sity of subjects. His whole life was
given to study. He commonly remain.
ed at work all night. and when nature
could endure no more he lay down
wherever he chanced to be, and with
the floor for couch, book for a pill
low and covered with an old tattered
cloak he would sleep for few hours,
then rise and go to work again. He
literally knew everything that. was
worth knowing in his time, but pro-
duced nothing of his own.

THE MORNING BATH.
Conditions Under Which 1t Should
Not he Taken Cold.

NON ne AAACA SOAus
Cold baths in the morning are un-
doubtedly beneficial, but only to those
persons who have sufficient vital ener-
gy and nervous force to insure good
reaction with no subsequent languor or
lassitude. Many persons who are great
ly refreshed by their morning bath feel
tired or languid two or three hours aft
er it. When this occurs it Is conclusive
evidence that the practice is harmful
Persons who have an abundance Of
blood and flesh, who are lymphatic or
sluggish in temperament and whose
nervous force is not depleted, can taks
a cold morning bath to advantage,
Others who are inclined to be thin,
whose hands and feet become cold and
clammy on slight provocation, who d.
gest food slowly and assimilate it with
difficulty, who are nervous and who
have much on their minds should avoid
early morning cold bathing. For such
the bath before retiring at night is rec
ommended, as 1t should be followed by
rest Of brain and body till equable con-
ditions Of circulation are re-established.
Some persons who are weak in nerve
power have such excitable nerves that
they get at once perfect reaction
from cold bathing, but lose In after ef
fects more than the value of the bath
This class Of individuals should not
bathe too often and should always use
tepid water. choosing the time prefer
ably before retiring.

F1ance and Sweetheart.

For centuries we have tried to get
the word that expresses the relation of
the man to the maid he intends to

not heard in the best circles. "My be-
trothed." phrase used in Germany,

lacks the official sound. Young men

The Luster Of Opal..

Many gems often without any appar-
ent cause suddenly become cracked or
scanned. the damage being beyond re-
pair. Opals, known as the unluckiest
stones, are SO sensitive that their beau
ty is frequently destroyed by their
wearer's proximity to an open fire. The
luster of this stone is caused by the
presence Of myriads Of little assures.
which defect the light into the charac-
teristic prismatic color Of the gem. The
tiniest Of these assures is likely at any
moment to destroy the stone.
