Nervous
Collapse

Il have travelled for thirty
years continually. l lost a great
deal OF sleep, which together
with constant worry left me in
such a nervous state that finally,
after having two collapses of
nervous prostration, / was
obliged to give up travelling al
together. l doctored continually
but with no relief. DR.. Miles
Nervine came to my rescue-1
cannot describe the suffering
which this Nervine saved me.
Whenever l am particularly
nervous few doses relieve me-"

There are many nervous
wrecks. There is nervous pros
tration of the stomach, of the
bowels, and other organs. The
brain, the kidneys, the liver, the
nerve centers are all exhausted.
There is but one thing to do
build up the nervous system by
the use of DR.. Miles Restora-
tive Nervine. Its strength
ening influence upon the nerv-
Gus system restores normal
action to the organs, and when
they all work in harmony, health
is assured. Get a bottle from
your druggist. Take it all ac-
cording to directions, and if it
does not benefit he Will return
your money.

Wind Acted as QueerIy as It

ing, New York.
WESTCOTTA BREEZY PLACE
ON TENTH STREET SIDE OF HO-
TEL ALL SNOW WAS PICKED UP
AND CAST AGAINST THE GRACE
CHURCH.

Many were the pranks played with
the snow by the wind yesterday. The
celebrated stories told about the
fire axis OF the wind as it blows about
the famous Flatiron building Of New
York City do not excel in point of
eccentricity those that might be relat-
ed of the breeze that gathered the
flakes from the streets OF Richmond
and whisked them about.
Westcott Corner Gale.
One of the most noticeable exam
pies was to be found along the North
Tenth street side of the Westcott ho-
tel. The corner of Tenth and Main
streets is known as one of the wind
lest in the city. What is but gen.
tie spring-like zephyr in other Sec
lions of the city moves with the speed
Of a gale at this corner. Yesterday
afternoon the wind swept bare OF ev-
cry vestige of snow the sidewalks adj
5acent to the hotel building, the entire
roadway and the sidewalk on the
west side of the street, as far north

the beginning of the accumulated
snow was to be found and at the Grace
church corner it was piled in drift a
foot in depth. The winds kept fore
ing the drift back nOrthwar6 off OF
Main street and counter current dis
persed 1t when it extended beyond the
church. Pedestrians encountered a
serious inconve nience, when trying to
founder through.
Court House Windy.
Another unusual formation was to
be found at the court house. The
west side of the court house block
was as free from snow as if none had
fallen. About the south and north
sides of the large building the lawn
was swept bare. The wind seemed
10 have a circular sweep and the snow
was piled high in front of the east
entrance. Try as hard as it could, the
wind could not reach the snow here
and the drifts were more than two
feet deep. The janitors were kept
busy in the effort to keep a path and
almost as soon as one was made, it
was obliterated.

reports bearing on the construction of the Panama
Canal I can find any estimate made as 10 the
quantity Of water be stored along the whols
line of the summit level, with an accompanying
estimate of the capacity of such storage reservoir
or reservoirs to meet the demands to be made upon
1t them for the operating and passage OF the
commerce of the world through the canal for the
next ten or other number of years2
ask this question because If understand the
matter rightly and 1 have had some experience
with summit level canals, the whole question OF
the availability mot desrability) rests upon the
ability of the summit level to furnish two lockfuls
of water for every vessel going from the Atanuo
to the Pacific. and similarly two lockfus OF water
for every vessel passing through the canal from
the Pacific to the Atlantic as 1 do not understand
that the locks double compensatng ones'
which would necessitate the waiting OF one boat
