A NY remedy that benefits digestion
\ strengthens the nerves.
The nerve centers require nutrition.
If the digestion is impaired, the nerve
centers become anemic, and indigestion
is the result.

they would get no answer from him.

Prominent noses seem to have been
the property Of many great men. Ly-
curguS and Scion had noses six inches
in length, and Ovid was surnamed
NasO on account OF his large nose.
Scipio Nasica derived his name from
his prominent olfactory organ, and
Alexander the Great and Cardinals
WOlsey and Richelieu all had large
noses. On the medals Of Cyrus and
Artaxerxes their noses came clear out
to the rim Of the coin. WashingtOn's
was the true aQuiline tyna. Indicative
Of firmness and patience, as was the
nose of Julius Caesar. MOhammed had
a singular nose. 1t was SO curved that
q writer has told us that the point Of 1t
seemed continually striving to insert
itself between his lips. The noses Of
Franklin. Shakespeare and DR.. John
son all had wide nostrils. betOkening
strength and love of thought. The nose
Of Napoleon was exQuisitely though
firmly chiseled. He often said. "Give
me a man with plenty Of nose" Fred
erick the Great had so large nose
that Lavater offered to wager that

The Fly That Buxxed For Mendelss0hn
The following story is told Of tho
music of the overture to "A Midsum.
mer Nights Dream" While Mendels-
sohn was deep In the making Of this
same fine overture he went riding one
day with q friend. In order, after
awhile. to rest their horses the two
boon companions dismounted and
stretched themselves out under the
shade Of a great tree. Suddenly there
came IN excited "Hushw from the
great composer, who half arose very
cautiously. A large fly was buzzlng
over them, and Mendelssohn was anx-
i0us to catch the true sound of the in
sects hum as It gradually drifted far
ther away. Many days later when the
overture had been completed the artist
called his friends attention to that
passage In progression where the vio-
loncello modulates in the chord of the
seventh Of the descending scale from
B minor to F sharp minor. There,
that's the fly that buzzed past us at
Schcnhausen." said Mendelssohn.
