Wim'TrtE " ' ' - - - ' r *'-" Dr. William Evart, the well known London physician, suys in an article in the St. Louis Star: Sleep has two offices, both fulfilled in the long sleep of night, which it is our usual endeavor to secure for our pn tients—namely, that of favoring the slow changes of repair and that of in terrupting consciousness by uncoupling the chain of neurons or by relaxing protoplasmic tension or tone. This re lief of tension is, it would seem, the only office performed by the shorter spells of sleep, aud therefore the two forms of sleep suggest two therapeutic objects. The night's sleep which comes without any drugs may need to be bet tered, and in Improving the quality of spontaneous sleep our help is often of value. It might also need to be pro longed. The systematic prolongation of sleep for the cure of disease is one of our opportunities hitherto little used, rt'o longed narcosis has also been suggested in excessive wear and tear of the nerv ous system, and in various nervous af fections, including the mental, its re newed trial, combined with suitable methods in feeding, might lead to en couraging results. Best suited perhaps to our everyday needs is a systematic resort to the shorter sleep. Like the light install ments of food which restore the lost function of appetite and digestion, short sleep in the day may be essential to the cure of nocturnal insomnia. Our growing wealth in hypnotics warrants a hope that a suitable agent may jet be found which in that direction would minister to the health of the invalid and might command the luxury of sleep at an opportune time for the conven ience of the worker. MOSIKIKC For Apoplexy. The medical profession recognizes to day as it has never done before the re markable aid of massage. It has done marvelous things for paralysis, even for apoplexy, at which doctors once looked on helplessly. Apoplexy Is caus ed by a clot of blood on the brain, and if that clot can be broken up, if an emptying can be effected of clogged veins, recovery is in sight. Constant massage of the forehead and skull will do it (this has been proved over and over again), while paralyzed limbs, by patient, constant kneading, can have new life rubbed into them. To Torn Negroen White. Professor Marshall Johnston of the University of Kansas school of medi cine has discovered a means whereby he claims to be able to make the negro white. Briefly set forth, Professor John ston's method consists In innoculating the negro with the serum of leucitis or albinism, a harmless disease which produces those strange oddities of na ture known as Albinos. The fact that albinism is the result of a disease is a discovery in itself, the credit of which belongs to the professor. A Novel I,lfe Raft. The navy department is providing some of the warships with a new and novel life raft. It consists of an ellip tical copper tube, somewhat flattened, with airtight compartments strength ened by fins. The tube is incased in cork wound with canvas and made ab solutely water tight. Attached to this float is a rope netting three feet deep, from which is suspended a wooden slatted bottom. The netting is sus pended on the inner side of the float from rings which travel on lashings, so that the bottom rests in the proper position, no matter which side of the float falls upon the water when it is thrown overboard. A Moon For Shipping. A resident of Sweden, Count K. A. Po6.se, according to a report of Consul Nelson at Bergen, Norway, has invent ed a boat stopping apparatus which will prevent collisions and facilitate the maneuvering of large vessels. The new apparatus consists of shutters ap plied on the starboard and port sides, about one-fourth of a boat length from the stern. These can be opened and shut by means of a lever applied on the deck. Experiments showed that when the launch was going at full speed It could be stopped in 15 seconds at half a boat length by reversing and extend ing the shutters. Water I'nrlfird bj Oione. A new method of sterilizing a city's water supply is being successfully op erated in Russia. The plan Is to steril ize the water by the introduction of ozonized air, and it is contended In its j behalf that It destroys all the bacteria j in the water and makes it at compara- j lively small cost absolutely safe for drinking purposes.

Hooker of I0"_' North Spruce Street, says ' I was for a long time af flicted with lameness in my back, and a pain over my kidneys. I had a great deal of nervousness, restlessness; did not sleep well, had bad dreams, and was continually tossing from side to side striving to get a comfortable position. The kidney secretions were not normal. I was tired all the time and often had a dull aching in the back of my neck. I read accounts of Doan's Kidney Pills curing people.

One of the pretty Sunday school teachers has a class of little girls, and It is her custom to tell them each Sun day of some little incident that has happened in the week and request th« children to quote a verse of Scripture to illustrate the story. In this way fibe hopes to Impress the usefulness of Biblical knowledge upon the little ones. Last Sunday she told her class of a cruel boy who would catch cats and cut their tails off. "Now, can any little girl tell me of an appropriate verse?" she asked. There was a pause for a few moments, when one little girl arose and in a sol emn voice said: "Whatsoever God has joined together let no man [>ut asunder."—Carthage Press. A llaril Character.

New York Times. Nature "makes all things beautiful in their time." Every one of life's sea son, when life moves on Nature's lines, has its own charm and beauty. Many women dread that period when they must, experience change of life. They fear that face and form may suffer bv the change, and that they may fail to please those whom they love. The value of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Preserip tion in this crisis of woman's life lies in the fact that it assists Nature. Its use preserves the balance and buoyancy of the mind and sustains the physical powers. Many women have expressed their gratitude for the help and comfort given by "Favorite Prescription" in this trying period. Its benefits are not passing but permanent and conduce to mental happiness as well as physical strength. FACTS ABOUT COLOMBIA 1 Liberal Party Sympathizer Dis cusses His Countrymen. NOT EAGER TOR REVOLUTIONS. 1 Senor Perez Snyn Chief Bone of Con tention He* ween I lie Two Parties For Many Years HUM Been the Question of Enibrncing Adviineing I CI vilizntion. "It is unfortunate that the people of ; flie United States do not better under ! stand the South Americans," said ' Senor rerez, an active sympathizer I with the Liberal party in the republic of Colombia, the other day to a re porter of the New Voile Tribune. "You think that we are anxious to fight, to engage in constant revolutions. This is not so. We simply struggle against the Clerical party to obtain freedom of thought and action. We should rather die than endure physical and moral slavery. Colombia is a large and rich ; country. It consists of nine states, ; and is more than double the size of Spain and Portugal. On the Atlantic i ocean it has a coast line of over 1,000 , miles. The national government Is re publican, the malu basis of the con stitution being a scheme drawn up lu after the model of the United States of America. The executive power is exercised by the president and tour ministers or secretaries. In 1811 tiie war of independence began, and a struggle was begun with Spain which lasted until 1527. In INI9 Bolivar ef fected a union between Ecuador, Vene zuela and Colombia, but this federation lasted only 11 years. It was in 1827 j that the two parties which now exist had their origin. We first believed in the Spanish method of government, or, rather, in the despotic power of the church. This party, the Conservatives, was composed chiefly of the Jesuits, but was supported by priests of all de -1 nominations. The other party was the , Liberal organization. These men be . lievod in free institutions, progress in every respect—railroads, telegraphs, free and compulsory education, and so on." "Whether or not Colombia should em brace advancing civilization," he con tinued. " has been the principal bone of contention between the two parties for the last 75 years, not only in Colombia, i but In Ecuador, Venezuela, Peru, Bo : livia. and elsewhere in South America. I In the Argentine Republic and in Mex ico the clerical element has been over ! come sufficiently to admit of enlight ened advancement in those countries, 1 but in Colombia and Venezuela the ] Clericals resist the establishment of free institutions. They know that if I education becomes general the people j will not pay their tithes and contribu j tious to the church. They want the I masses to be kept in an Ignorant state j in order that they may exploit them. We simply cannot endure their tyran -1 ny, and so we tight. We have hoped for a better state of tilings, but we 1 have been forced to resort to arms to protect our lives and property. ! "There is ano more peaceful people ; in the world than the Colombians, but I we are now desperate and would rather die than submit to the caprices and cruelties of the Clericals. The Venezu | elans are not naturally so peaceful as ! the Colombians. Twenty years ago the j Liberals, who had been in power for 24 years, lost control of the government, j This would never have happened but j for the treachery of our president, who j sold himself to the Conservatives, or i Clericals, in order to make sure iiis own succession. He pledged himself to look after their interests if they would sup ply him with arms and ammunition J with which to kill his former adher ! ents. "The head of the Conservatives is the | pope. We have no regular leader, be | cause our best men are constantly be ing killed in battle. Our old leader was General Vargas Santos, who is | now 82 years old, and so infirm that he j can no longer take to the field. Gen- I eral Uribe-Uribe is now commander in | chief of our armies, lie has fought j steadily at the head of our troops since ; the present revolution began two years | ago. Last April he issued a peace ] manifesto, when the lighting ceased | temporarily. We asked at that time i that the Liberals simply be allowed to I exist, but the Clericals continued to | shoot and imprison our leaders and t sympathizers. Because of this tyranny I we were forced to continue our tight | lug. j "I do not know the present strength ! of the Conservative or government j army. I should say it numbers about | 45,000 men. In order to fully under | stand the recent operations it is neces ! sary to know that there is a Liberal j party in Ecuador, Venezuela and Co | lotubia and an opposing Conservative j or Clerical party in the same coun ' tries. This is natural, because 75 years , ago the three countries were one. Thus the Liberal party of one country helps Its sympathizers in another. So it is 1 with the Conservatives. When the I large number of Clericals, or goveru -1 aient sympathizers, entered Venezuela on July 28, they were attacked and completely routed by the combined Venezuelan and Colombian Liberal armies, who had concentrated their ! forces in a bonier state in Venezuela. Of course General Uribe-Uribe had a share in the victory over the Clericals, although he was not present at the bat tle. This conflict ends the revolution in Venezuela." ll* prnsi * ♦» ( a mil.

Everybody within a radius of fifty miles or more, who can get away, goes to the Milton fair. This is one of the oldest successful fairs in the state and it has a reputation of always giving its patrons a good entertainment—son. e thing new every year in addition to the races, the exhibits and the lively fakirs not gamblers—for there art- no gam blers there. And then it is the best fair in another respect. The people are a good half of any county fair and you see them all at Milton fair. Hundreds of people look to this fair as a sort of a short fall outing and they are all goiiig this year because the management tell them that this will be a record breaker and the public knows that the fair managers never lie. THE WHIRL OF FASHION. The Florentine and wrinkled rnous tjuetaire are leading sleeve models among those which are not made el bow length. Unlined etamine or silk warp eoli enne worn over a silk petticoat of matching color forms a stylish and comfortable costume for the summer. The new French poplins and mohairs to be so fashionably worn this fall are scarcely to be distinguished from the soft ribbed bengalines and other cord ed silks of their nature. Fine flax colored linen trimmed with vests and sailor collars of embroidered batiste composes some of the very smartest morning costumes worn at fashionable summer resorts. Large white crinoline or Neapolitan straw lints trimmed with a single very broad fluffy white ostrich plume, a cliou of while tulle and a large paste buckle are being much worn. Silk finished mohair has formed a very favorite material for summer traveling costumes, and for the fall, in black, blue, gray and brown, will be brought out a very handsome mercer ized mohair Sieilienne of such lustrous quality as to surpass brilliantine and very closely resemble some of the fin est silks.—New York Post. Wit#:iter and t!ie Player. When Richard was conduct or of the Royal Opt ra u> Dresden, the orchestra of that institution, though one of the best in Germany, was far from being as good as it is now, and Wagner had a good deal of trouble in making it follow his intentions. Some years later, when he was living as an exile in Zurich, he undertook to train the local orchestra. After a few at tempts he exclaimed. "Gentlemen, you have just given me a great pleasure; you have played exactly us badly as (lie Dresden orchestra." The Zurich players laughed, and the idea that they might play better than the royal musicians in Dresden so fired their zeal that they actually succeeded :n doing it. Polished Knrisiliire. When a polished tahle is stained by a hot dish, one restoring process is to use first wood alcohol and then linseed or olive oil. This treatment is excellent for keeping any polished furniture in order and is one of the few things for which wood alcohol may be used. The latter is cheaper than the pure and for certain domestic uses is quite as good. V Sjifcii'! Ot'oaalon. First Tramp You orter see Bill go in over de fence wit' de bull after him.

Under certain conditions there may be seen in the night sky, exactly op posite to the place where the sun may then be, a faint light, rounded in out line, to which the name "gegenschien" has been given. It has always been a mystery to astronomers, but Professor Pickering suggested that it may be a cemetery or meteoric satellite of the earth. He thinks it may be composed of a cloud of meteors 1,000.000 miles from the earth and revolving around it In a period of just one solar year, so that the sun and the ghostly satellite are always on opposite sides of the earth.
