" ' ' - - - ' 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.

Paitents Play Ball.
Base-ball at present is one of the
principal amusements among the male
patients at the Hospital for the Insane
and while the votaries of the national
sport in town are applauding the prow
ess of the "Old Timers" the patients
and a few others, who dwell as it were
in a little world uf their own, are none
the less absorbed in the issue of their
local contests.
On last Saturday afternoon two nines
picked for the occasion crossed bats on
the grounds in front of the Hospital.
The spectacle was full of novelty and it
must be confessed that the result of the
game was of much less interest than the
personnel of the two sides and the move
ments of the players. It was pleasing
to note how the unfortunate men, ofieu
stolid and moody, entered into the en
thusiasm of the game, catching the ball,
making their hits and runs with all the
vim and enthusiasm of men in mental
vigor. Two attendants took part in the
game and their presence was all that
was required to hold the patients down
to the rules.
In addition to the players there were
some half a hundred of other patients
scattered about on the lawn. One of
these, an ex-attorney, kept the score.
A dozen or more stood about like stat
ues, deeply absorbed in their own
troubles and showing no sign of inter
est except at intervals when the hur
rahs an I tumuit of the crowd showed
that a brilliant play had been scored.
Others, base ball enthusiasts, danced
about in delight volunteering a good
deal of advice, which might have been
opportune or otherwise. They made
considerable noise, but on the whole
were less objectionable than the "root
ers" that sometimes are iu evidence at
games where all parties are supposed to
be mentally responsible.
Thin Will Save Your Ice.
There are many people who from a
false idea of economy fail to get the
best results from the use of Ice in re
frigerators. A common mistake Is get
ting a small piece of ice every day or
every other day instead of filling the
Ice chamber two or three times a week.
The small piece of ice cannot reduce
the temperature sufficiently, and the
result is that each new piece melts
rapidly, and the food cannot be kept
long. It will be found at the end of
the season that the cost of ice and
waste of food have been much greater
than if the ice chamber had been kept
filled.—Pittsburg Dispatch.

Your Kidneys.
I
Unhealthy Kidneys Make Impure Blood.
All the blood in your body passes through
your kidneys once every three minutes.
fThe kidneys are your
blood purifiers, they fil
ter out the waste or
impurities in the blood.
If they are sick or out
of order, they fail to do
their work.
Pains, aches and rheu
matism come from ex
cess of uric acid in the
blood, due to neglected
kidney trouble.
Kidney trouble causes quick or unsteady
heart beats, and makes one feel as though
they had heart trouble, because the heart is
over-working in pumping thick, kidney
poisoned blood through veins and arteries.
It used to be considered that only urinary
troubles were to be traced to the kidneys,
but now modern science proves that nearly
all constitutional diseases have their begin
ning in kidney trouble.
If you are sick you can make no mistake
by first doctoring your kidneys. The mild
and the extraordinary effect of Dr. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy is
soon realized. It stands the highest for its
wonderful cures of the most distressing cases
and is sold on its merits i
by all druggists in fifty
cent and one-dollar siz
es. You may have a
sample bottle by mail Home of swamp-Root,
free, also pamphlet telling you how to find
out if you have kidney or bladder trouble.

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.

Nature "makes all things beautiful

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

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

"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."

THEY ALL GO TO MILTON.
The Miltou Fair Leads Them all iu Euter
tainiug the People.
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.

A Ghostly Sntellite.
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.
Sunny Slope, Cal., enjoys the distinc
tion of being the largest vineyard in
the world. It is situated amid the most
beautiful scenery of that favored land,
two miles from San Gabriel. Of a total
of 1,900 acres 733 are devoted to grape
vine, the remainder being distributed
among orange trees, of which there tire
12,000; lemon and olive trees.
Tile Stoves.
Stoves made of tiling are in genetal
use in Austria. They are said to be
superior to iron stoves on account of
the great economy of fuel possible by
their use.

Danville vouch for this. Among them
is Mrs. Jacob Mills of Cor. Front iV ,

"Last, fall 1 was feeling very poorly and

Stmn/-c Hiding? Places.
