I had no appetite and could not sleep. I would be compelled to sit up in bed and belch gas < from my stomach until I thought that every minute would be my last. •There was a feelUng of oppression about my heart, and I was afraid to draw a full breath. I could not sweep a room without resting. My husband induced me to try Dr. Miles’ Heart Cure and am happy to say it has* cured me. I now nave a splendid appetite and sleep well.

OBITUARY. Wm. A. McLaughlin, son ot'Benj.and Elizabeth McLaughlin, was born iu Adams county, Indiana, April 18,1881 and departed this lite February 3, 1895, aged 83 years, 9 months and 15 days. ; He served acceptably two years as deputy county surveyor iu Adams county and taught No. 3 school in Kirkland township two terms. His kind and genial disposition was such that everyone it seems who knew him, knew him only to love him. BeptembeF2B,lßßß he was united in marriage with Ada Crist by Rev. D. B. Reekard. Together they struggled against the difficulties and trials of life because strong was the love which bound their hearts and made them one. About five years ago they moved from Decatur, Ind., to Elkhart, and he became an employe of the Lake Shore railroad company. His illness took its rise from the lagrippe over three years ago which was followed by pleuera pneumonia which further developed into chronic pneumonia. In the autopsy held by five physicians the day following his death, there was found an extensive ulceration of the left lung. His death was the result of chronic pneumonia and not consumption as some supposed. Even thing it seems was done that could be done to restore him to health. About two years ago he went South and spent 3 months in New Mexico. He also took treatment at Richmond and New Castle, but all could not avail. For the past three years he has been a great and constant sufferer but he was never heard to murmur. All during his affliction he was patient and resigned. He was concerted to God on the afternoon of January 31,1893, in a revival meeting held in the Watch Tower Evangelica church, was baptized and united with the same church of which he remained a faithful and worthy member unto the end. As the time of his departure drew near he seemed to be the more anxious to go. Death had no terrors for him. On Sunday morning February 3rd he said, “1 hope I may- spend next Sunday In heaven.’’ It will certainly be aa he wished. Just about - midnight of that same day, one of the “twelve gates” of the “New Jerusalem” swung open and he entered into rest. The last afternoon and evening as he lingered upon the threshold of the spirit world, amid all his suffering he would repeatedly exclaim “Oh what joy, what great jov!" When asked if he was tempted to give up his fajth and hope In Jesus, apswered, “Oh no,” with a firmness which assured his loved ones that he would hold on to the end. He was conscious to the last; calm and peacefully he fell asleep in Jesus, a “sleep from which none ever wakes to weep.” The battle is fought, the race is

run, ths crown Is Ills. ills suffering and sorrows arc over. Uh trials are<jiH fast, lie has excl Hinged-bls earthly horns f«r a better h< we on high. Nad is the parting of loved ones but II Is only “g< od night’* for a little while and then “gotxl morning” in henven. Tenderly we hear the master say •‘wlfat I (io thou kuowt-st not now, but thou shalt know hereafter.” *• Let not your heart be troubled ye believe in God believe also In me.” As n husband he was affectionate and devoted to bls home and and family. As a neighbor he was kind and and loved by atl who love good men. As a citizen be was io* al and true, and ns a Christian was faithful and resigned to God's will, hie often wished he had given more yean of hh life to the Savior. Many wem his virtues and thorn who knew him will cherish them In their memory forever. He leaves a companion and one daughter Mabie aged four yean, baahles father mother, a sister, two lx others and man) friends. Two sistersand one brother have gone on before. The funeral services were held In the Walch Tower Evangelical church last Tuesday afternoon. The pastor. Rev. M L.

A real modern woman is not the Wmaff of the modern novel. There seems to be an increasing tendency on the part of present day novelists and dramatists to portray women who nave a “ past,” as if the reader’s or spectator's interest could only be held by such a theme. If the heroine of the typical modern story is not a woman of this sort, she is too frequently drawn as an unnatural and impossible creature —like Dodo, for example—who is nothing more than a travesty on the modern society woman. Angelica in the “Heavenly Twins,” Gwen, in “The Yellow Aster,” and Jfcra in Ibsen’s “Doll’s House,” are all abnormal types, whose hectic -lives are fortunately not reflected in the lives of modern womanhood; for the modern woman is, on the whole, a very well balanced, healthful individual, who thinks sensibly and lives sanely, and who, when she does unusual things, does them not to call attention to herself. but in the interest of some good cause for which she is working. The heroines of Walter Scott, of Jane Austen, and George Eliot ’are sometimes called “old-fashioned” because they live their lives for the most part in obscurity and know only a simple round cf duty and pleasure. But, after ail, they are far better types of actual womanhood than the modern novel’s heroine, for they have the essential characteristics of womanliness —modesty, kindness and common sense. r If there be & difference, it Is only the superficial cne of opportunity and environment. The woman of intelligence and noble character interests uS in reaJ life. Let us have more portraits of her in our tales and our plays, that the generations to come may judge rightly of nineteenth century womanhood. Athletics tur WOntt n Athletics for women has changed from a fa 4to a fashion. Not only are the bicycle schools crowded, but the gymnasiums Which devote special hours or certain quarters in their establishments to women are full during the morning hours and as late, in some instances, as 2 or 3 o'clock in the afternoon. The most widely known director of athletics in this city has made a specialty of teaching women at his establishment. A few years ago women went into bicycle practice and indoor athletics With more or less coquetry and fun. They usually devoted a great deal of attention to their costumes, and were anxious and finicky about their appearance. During the past two or three seasons, however, they have worn rough, wooleu gymnasium suits, which are baggy, thick and serviceable, but by no means attractive, and they go through their exercise with the steadiness and determination of veterans. They object with earnestness and fierceness to their having worn rough, woolen gymnasium suits while they were practicing, and the director announces with a melancholy smile that almost without exception they have a single qbject In view—the reduction of the obstreperous fat which is the bane of the aver-, age society woman’s existence. —New York Sun. •• = '\.

wHsEI iwitii ■■ ■ \ Senate Discnsses the Proposition of Ownership of Postal Cars. ALSO TALKS SOME FINANCE Celeraaf* Senator* Call Attentlen to Con•uet of Banker*' Hw-ndleate—Day In th* Bonae Spent on District of Columbia Bnalne**—Morrment to Secure a Vote on the Financial Question. Washington, Feb. 14.—The senate began its session yesterday with a spirited discussion of the financial question, but soon turned its attention to the postoffice appropriation bill and spent the rest of the day on the proposition to have the government own railway postal cars. Mr. Vilas <Dem., Wis.) brought on the financial discussion by offering a bill granting to the president the authority he had requested in his recent message for issuing 3 per cent bonds, payable in gold. Mr. Sherman offered a substitute to the silver bill reported the day before, providing for gold bonds and temporary gold certificates. The two Colorado senators, Mr. Teller and Mr. Wolcott, called attention to the fact that the syndicate of bankers who had secured control of these bonds were now marketing them in London at 112%, making a net profit of 8 per cent at the outset. The debate brought out frequent references to the contract between the treasury department and the bankers, and as a result, Mr. Aldrich of Rhode Island offered a resolution calling on the president for a copy of the contract. It was agreed to take a vote on the pending amendments as to railway postal service at 3 o’clock today. The senate agreed to the house resolution, extending the time for making returns on the income tax to April 15, next. IN THE HOUSB. Tbe Day Devoted to District of Columbia Business. Washington, Feb. 14. —The house devoted the day to business relating to the District of Columbia, and with but one j exception, was featureless. During the debate Mr. Van Voorhis (NT. Y.) secured the floor and introduced a resolution calling upon the committee on ways aud means to turnish the house the contract of the recent bond negotiation, and such Other information as the secretary of the treasury had communicated to the com“ mittee. Mr. Wilson immediately informed the house thgt the majority report upon the joint resolution providing for 3 per cent bonds, which had been favornfciy acted upon by the committee, wouitTcontain a copy of the much-desired contract. The minority of the committee was granted leave to file a report against the joint resolution and have it printed for use of the members, it being the understanding that Mr. Wilson would call up the resolution today. WANT IT SETTLED. Movement to Secure x Final Vote on th© Financial Question. Washington, Feb. 14. —A movement has been set on foot in the senate to secure a vote on the financial question in the senate next week. The plan as proposed is to devote Monday aud Tuesday to debate on the question and to obtain unanimous consent to taking a vote at the close of the day Tuesday. A large number of senators have been seen by those interesting themselves in the movement, but the most that can be said is that the proposition has met with considerable favor. There is some hesitation ou the parbof the managers of the appropriation bills to give the necessary time to the debate and there are several senators who have uot been seen, some of whom may object. If the scheme succeeds the proceedings will be cm the basis of the Jones’ unrestricted coinage bill, with votes on it after the various amendments and substitutes shall have been passed upon. Work of the Pension Office. Washington, Feb. 14.—Responding to a resolution of the senate, the secretary of the interior has sent to the senate a statement showing the work of the board of final review of the pension office from the beginning of the present fiscal year to Jan. 1. The statement shows that for this period 141,013 claims were received by the» board, of which 46,012 were admitted and 58,357 rejected, 19 others being returned to the various divisions or remaining unacted upou. - . To Collect Industrial Information. Washington, Feb. 14.—Senator Perkins (Cal.) has introduced a bill providing for the appointment of a nonpartisan commission to collect information and to consider and recommend legislation to meet the problems presented by labor, agriculture and capital. The president is to appoint the members of the commission, which is to be composed equally of the representatives of labor, of agriculture and of the business interests or the country, . CONVICT GOODS. Law* to Restrict Their Sale Declared to Be Unconatitutlonal. Cleveland, Feb. 14.—Judge Noble in common pleas court has handed down a derision which impeaches the constitutionality of the Ohio statute making it unlawful to sell oonvictmade goods manufactured in the prisons of other states without first obtaining a license from the secretary of the state of Ohio. Judge Noble held that the constitution of the United States reversed all power to regulate all interstate commerce in congress, and any state law which interferes in interstate commerce is unconstitutional. The law impelling the sale of goods Inode in another state to be licensed while goods made in Ohio were unburdened, was a discrimination and the court held unconstitutional.

IN FAVOR OF HORSE MEAT. ‘ TctiSrlnariaD. Bay They Know of Mo ObJretion to It* Uae. ‘’Shall we eat horse?' ’ is a question I which a Philadelphia., newspaper has been putting to h ading veterinarians. While none of them answered squarely in the affirmative, there was general concurrence in the opinion that horse meat makes rather good eating at a > pinch. Francis Bridge said, ‘ ’The flesh , is as nutritious and in flavor as good as that of the bovine, and I see no good reason to interdict its use as human ‘ food.” W. L. Zuili declared that he ’ would eat it in preference to pork. It is “more juicy and of better flavor than , ox flesh,” he said. 8. J. J. Hargar, who had once eaten a mule tenderloin, fonnd it inferior in fiber and taste t* beef. E. M. Michiner thought that horse1 flesh was not injurious to “human 1 health, ” and he pointed out that neither tuberculosis, actinomycosis or trichina war found in the horse, the exception being noted that rare"cases of tuberculosis had been recorded. John W. Gadsden believed that the flesh of young horses properly cooked was good for man, and he thought that if horses got much cheaper “there would be a great temptation t;o try it ” Samuel C. Weber -said: “The flesh of the horse seems to remain teuder with age and has a more pungent savor than that of other animals. From these superior qualities it may readily be seen why it should -be more digestible than other meat, which often comes from animals which are prematurely as well as excessively fattened. In Europe, where raw meat is prescribed by physicians, it is generally Jfliat of the horse. They claim it is more healthy for those un dergoing severe muscular exercise and more nutritious for the weak and antemic. ” Alexander Glass sounded a warning in the following experience: “In tw» instances, when Late horseflesh, I found the meat very tender and rather pleasant to the taste. At the time I could not shake off the thought, ‘What if this horse bad incipient glanders?’ for some of that meat was very rare. ’’ Several years ago Dr. Huidekoper of Philadelphia invited some members of the Philadelphia club and of the City troop to a dinner, at the conclusion of which he announced to his guests, who were much pleased with the repast, that they had dined off the carcass of his old white horse Fedora. _ — Wily EeynxnL Those familiar with the “Fables of 2Esop” will remember the reputation which Reynard bears among the rest of the animal-. It is questionable whether any wild creature can compete with the fox in craftiness. To look at him generally, even in his ordinary habits, he exhibits an amount of cleverness which astonishes one. Should a fox catch a hedgehog, whose spines effectually protect him from most of his enemies, he does not waste time, as a fox terrier will do, in endeavoring to worry his prey. He merely tolls him to the nearest water, knowing that a drop or two will cause the animal to relax his bold. It is a rare, thing to catch one, jn a trap laid at the door of his “ctfrth” even. If ho is inside when the trap is • set, he waits until some other animal springs it aud then emerges to eat th® victim and the bait. Only when driven by the terrible pangs of hunger will he tempt fate in his owu person. Most animals gorge themselves when they are fortunate enough to come across a superabundance of food. Not so with Reynard. Should he find a poultry yard well stocked and ill protected he fills his larders first. Nor does he, as the proverb says, “put all His eggs in one basket.” He puts one fowl in a hedge, hides another iu a bush, places a third in a hole in a tree, rapidly digs a cavity for a fourtLi and covers it up again, remembering in each case where his stores are concealed. And when his supplies are sufficient in his own estimation ha takes a flue fat chicken or duck to his “earth” for present enjoyment. Looking Backward. The superstition of the ill luck of looking backward or returning is a very ancient ene, originating doubtless from Lot’s wife, who “looked back from behind him” when he was led by ail augel outside the doomed city of the plain. In Roberts’ “Oriental Illustrations” it is stated to be “considered exceedingly unfortunate in Hindoostan for • men or women to look back when they leave their house. Accordingly, if a man goes out and leaves something behind him which his wife knows he will want, she does uot call him to turn or look back, but takes or sends it after him, and if some great emergency obliges him to look back he will not then proceed on the business ho was about to transact.”—Exchange. Energy In Matter. It is estimated, by Professor Dolbear that a lump of coal weighing" a pound has in it energy enough to lift its weight ■ 1,000 miles high. He says that this energy is inhetent in matter; that every particle of matter is constantly exerting its force on every other particle, and that if not prevented they will come to- • gether, no matter how far apart they may be.
