Tk Human Electrical Forces! How They Control the Organs of the Body.

Tho elcctri™! force of the hiitmn body, n« the nervo lluid may betirmed, li an especially attractive department of science, us It exerts so marked an Influence on the health of the organs of the body. Nerve force is produced by the brain and conveyed by means of the nerves to the vartou- orrans of

the iKidy, thus supplying the latter with the

vitality necessary to Insult; their health. The

pneumogastric nerve, us shown here, may be said to be tlte most important of the entire nervo system, as It supplies the heart, lungs, stomach, bowels, etc., with the oerve force necessary to Veen them active ami healthy. As will ho seen by theeut the long nervo descending from tho base of the brain and terminating In tho bowel- is the pneumogas trie, while the numerous little branches supply thel heart, lungs ana stom-' iii h with necessary vitality. When tho Drain becomes in any way disordered by irritability or exhaustion, the nerve force which it supplies is lessened, and tho organs receiving tho diminished supply are consequently weakened.

Physicians generally fall to recognize, the Importance of this fact, but treat tho organltself instead of the cause of the trouble Tlie noted specialist, Franklin Miles, M. !»., LL. U., has given the greater part of Ids life to the study of lids subject, and the principal discoveries concerning ft are due to hi-effort-. !>r. Miles' Restorative Nervine, tho unrivaled brain and nerve food. Is prepared on t lie principle that all nervous and many other difficulties originate from disorders of the uervocenters.

BROWN GOT THE MONUMENT. And »• Ilf* Hud Hren h Good Follow, the Hoys Said lie Deserved It. At a little settlement on the Indian river, Florida, before the railroad was built, lived ti penniless, good hearted fellow of the name of John Brown. When Brown got any money he would divide it to the last cent with his friends umon^ the boys, and of course the boys liked him. One day the boys found Brown dead in the woods. They dug' him a grave, rolled him in a horse blanket and let him down in it and then drank several bottles of east coast bitters to his health and expressed the hope that whatever new climate he was in he would be healthy. Some time later than that a stranger came among them. He died and. as the weather was too warm to ship his body off, he was buried next to Brown. A week or two passed and the relatives of the deceased stranger sent down money to erect a monument over the grave of the stranger. The boys took the thing in hand and discussed it pro and con. They came to the conclusion that Brown was a “durned" sight better fellow in every way titan the stranger and more entitled to a monument, so one night they went out and swapped the men from one grave to the other. As a result Brown, the ne’er-do-well Bohemian and all around good fellow, sleeps beneath a handsome marble monument and the rich stranger lies in an unmarked grave. SHARPS ON THE DEEP. Poker Players Who Swindle Ocean Trav-

elers.

The Atlantic steamers are a fruitful field for the crooked poker players. Here is a specimen of the way this game is worked: A well-known New Yorker told the story, but stipulated that the name of the victim was to be suppressed. “A certain New York millionaire,” he said, “who is known to lie more or less susceptible to the blandishments of women, was crossing the Atlantic alone on a Cunarder. A lovely woman made his acquaintance, which, you know, is the easiest thing in the world on shipboard. They became very friendly and she introduced him to her husband. I don't know whether he was really her husband, but he passed as such for that trip, at all events. “This ‘husband’ was one of the complacent sort. Ho offered no objection when the millionaire flirted desperately with his ‘wife.’ “The millionaire, thinking it would pay him to stand in with the ‘husband,’ willingly acquiesced when a game of poker was suggested, of course, the ‘husband - had a few friends, who were also in the game. “Well, they used to play every night on that trip and a large part of the day. The susceptible millionaire dropped a pile of mo ney -how much I don't know —but he pa id very dearly for his susceptibility that trip.”

HIS VISIT CUT SHORT.

An InUlannixUl* I ally's Solicitude for tha t'leunllneen of Her Friends. A certain lady of this city, who had never been used to the luxury of life until after her husband made a large sum of money in the real estate business, moved into an elegant house which had, among other conveniences, a line bathroom, says the Indianapolis Sentinel. It was her pride, and every visitor was informed about the bathroom. Guests who came from a distance were greeted with: “Now. I know you are tired and dusty after your long journey; just go right up to the bathroom and you can have a refreshing bath at once.” This worked well in most cases, but one day she made a mistake. She went to the door one warm summer afternoon to find a young gentleman friend of her husband's from Louisville, and she took it for granted that he was going to stay all night. So her first words after shaking hands with him were: “Now, you are tired and dusty after your journey; just go right up to the bathroom; a bath will refresh you so.” In vain the young man tried to expostulate; she had him by the arm and started him up the stairway before he could get in a word. In half an hour he came down and took up his hat and stick. “I thank you vcy much,” he said, “I enjoyed the bath very much.” Then he started for the door. “Why, where are you going?” asked the hostess. “To catch my train,” he answered; “I only had forty minutes to stay and my bath took half an hour, so I must hustle now to catch the Chicago train.” This cured tile lady of showing off her bathroom.

TOOK A MEAN ADVANTAGE. The Kngaged Man Insisted on Kissing; Ills Fiancee In a Street C ar. A young man and a young woman chang.al from a Belt line to a Fourteenth street < :tr ut the avenue, Washington and sat in one of the seats in the first ear. He was carrying an overcoat and a satchel and was evidently going away. She wore a shirt waist and a dark skirt, as if starting out on a shopping expedition. Just liefore they reached Sixth street he leaned over her and said, quietly, so quietly that only the Host reporter back of them could hear: “I am going to kiss you good-by when I leave the ear." “Oh! please don't,” she said, appealingly; “not before all these people.” Hut he was decided and said, persistently: “Yes I shall; so raise your veil. If you try to resist people will see it and wonder about it. and they will look at you all the wav up-town after I get

off.”

She glanced up shyly and then slowly raised her x-eil. He bent over her and kissed her and no one in the car looked up. A few people wondered why she was so anxious to show the diamond ring on her left hand, but nobody but the reporter appreciated the fact that she was trying to justify the kissing 'by means of an engagement ring. BRITTISH “DRUMMERS.” Some 511 nor Differenced from the American Commercial Traveler. The commercial traveler in England is little different from his American brother, pursuing the same line of policy in “getting there” so far as securing trade is concerned, says Hardware. His invariable rule, however, is that his (li st price given to a local merchant is his last and only one. There is no going in the morning with an offer, and then in the afternoon with an extra inducement to make the trade. This being the invariable rule, it saves much labor and apprehension in the [mod of the buyer that he has not done so well as he could have done with

more diplomacy.

Everything is done for the comfort of the traveler, and at the hotels a s'peeial department called the commercial room is set apart for his exclusive use. In this room smoking is prohibited until nine p. m., a place being devoted to that purpose at other times. The traveler takes his meals in the commercial room, the dinner being a set affair in which all travelers in the house generally participate. The oldest man is ut the head of the table, and is called the president; while at the foot is the youngest man, and he is termed vice president.

COLUMSIA RIVER SALMON. How the Chinese Workmen Cut Up, !*re-

pu-re and Can tho Firth.

“On a recent trip to the Pacific coast," said Walter Stedman, a New York drummer, to the St. Louis GlobeDemocrat, "I paid a visit to one of the large canning factories in Oregon, where the Columbia river salmon are packed and shipped all over the country. It was a novel sight to me, and one in which I took a great deal of interest. The fish are caught in nets and carried in boats to the factory, where they are thrown upon a stage and lie in heaps, a thousand or so in a pile. You can see huge fish among them that weigh from thirty to sixty pounds. One Chinaman will seize a salmon, and, with a dextrous blow of a big knife, sever its head with one stroke; another workman then grabs it and slashes off the tins and disembowels it. It is then thrown iutoa vat. where the blood soaks out, and 1 tell you they bleed like a stuck pig. After repeated washings the fish is cut into chunks, plunged into brine and stuffed into cans, the bones first being removed. The tops of the cans, which have a small hole in them, are then soldered on. and five or six hmidred of them at a time are plunged into I Killing water, where they remain until the heat has expelled all the air. Then the little airhole in the top of the lid is soldered up and the salmon is

ready for market.”

Iti;? Waterworks Projects Abroad. A plan for supplying Paris with water from Luke Neufchatel is under consideration by the municipality. It involves the building of an aqueduct 30!) miles in length and at an estimated cost of $60,000,000. An earlier plan proposed to use Lake Geneva as a source of supply, the estimated cost Vicing $100,000,000. The engineer of the Neufchatel plan proposes to tunnel the Jura mountains, and give a head of 394 feet in Paris. One of the greatest engineering works of modern times is the artificial lake impounding the waters of the River Vyrmvy, in Montgomeryshire, to supply Liverpool, sixty-eight miles distant. The lake lias a storage capacity of 1,500,000,000 gallons, and power is given to supply water over a certain belt of country on each side of the line. Liverpool is thus placed on an equality, as to xvater supply, with Glasgow, which has laid Lock Katrine under contribution, and with Manchester, which is doing the same with Thirlmeer.

llurstiiift the Has:. “One form of amusement that children hax-e now that they didn't use to have when I was a Ixiy." said Mr. Bozzle, “is the fun of busting the bag. Nowadays many things come from the grocer and elsewhere in paper bags, and ‘let me bust tho bag’ is a familiar household request. The youngster takes the empty bag and with his thumb and forefinger around the open end of it he forms a neck with au opening through which lie may Inflate It Then with a sudden whack lie brings the bag down upon tho other hand and explodes it with a report whose loudness is determined by the size of the bag, tho fullness of its inflation, the tightness of the grip around its closed neck, and the force of the blow. The modern small boy ought to be grateful for this continuous domestic Fourth of July, one of many privileges that he enjoys that were quite unknown to his fathers.”
