Is your mind clear and active? If not read the following. See what another has suffered and how ne recovered. “Some years ago I was afflicted with sun stroke which left me with a shattered nervous system and exceedingly poor health. I suffered terribly with pain in my head, the top of my head would feel hot. I could not study, arid after striving for two years to wear the trouble off, I was compelled to give up my pastoral labor and retire to my farm where I spent nearly two year* trying to recuperate. It was all of no avail. Physicians' treatment and patent medicines failed to relieve me. I was exceedingly nervous and irritable and sometimes would shake terribly. I could not bear any noise. At the least excitement the blood would rush to my face and head. Two years ago I was induced to try Dr. Miles’ Restorative Nervine. After using one bottle I could see improvement in my condition so 1 continued taking it for nearly a year. I am happy to say I no longer have those pains in my head or nervous spells. My appetite is good and lam able to preach three times on Sunday without fatigue. I consider Dr. Miles’ Nervine Die most wonderful medicine ever discovered.”—Rev. D. Alex. Holman, Pastor U. B.

WHEN THE MINISTER COMES TO TEA.

Oh! they’ve swept the parlor carpet, and they’ve dusted every chair. And they’ve (ot the tidies hangin' jest exactly on the square; And the whatnot’s fixed up lovely, and the mats have all been beat. And the pantry’s brltnmin’ over with the bally things ter eat. Sishaa got her Sunday dress on, and ahe's frizzin' up her bangs, Ma* got on her beat alpacky, and ahe’s askin' how it bangs, Pa has ahaved as slick as can be, and I'm rigged way up in G. And it’s all because we’re goin’ ter have the mlnieter tar tea. Oh! the table's fixed up gaudy with the giltedged Chiny set. And we’ll use the silver tea-pot and the company’s spoons, you bet; And we’re going to have some fruit-cake and some thimbleberry jam, And “riz biscuits” and some doughnuts, and some chicken and some ham. Ma, she’ll ’polergize like fury and say everything is bad, And “sich awful luck with cookin,” she is sure she never had; But, of course, she’s only bluffin', for it’s as prime as it can be, And she’s only talkin’ that way ’cause the minister’s ter tea. Bverybody’ll be a smilin’ and as good as ever wus. Pa won’t growl about the vittles, like he generally does, And he'll ask me would I like another piece er pie; but, sho! That, er coarse, is only manners, an’ I'm s’poaed ter answer “No.” Sis’ll talk shoot the church-work and about the Sunday-school, Ms’ll tell how she liked that sermon that was on the Golden Rule. And if I upset my tumbler they won’t say a word ter me; * Yes, a boy can eat in comfort with the minister ter tea! , Say! a minister, you'd reckon, never’d say what wasn't true; But that isn't so with ours, and I jest can prove it, too: ‘Cause when Sis plays on the organ so it ma.es yer want ter die. Why, h. sets and saya its lovely; and that aeems ter me’a a lie; But I like him all the aamey, and I only with he’d stay At our house for good and always, and eat with us every day; Only think of havin’ goodies every evenin’! Jimmlnee! And I’d never git a scoldin' with the minister ter tea!

ORIGIN OF THE TOMATO.

There Is Its Record of a Tina* When It Grew Wild. The tomato is a native of South America and more particularly of Peru and the Andean region. The Indian name for it is “tumatl” and the Spanish name “tomate.” When the Spaniards arrived in the sixteenth century they considered nothing of much Importance except silver. But In 1583 they took some tomatoes home with them as a matter of curiosity, little dreaming that there would some day be more silver in them than there was In all the Peruvian mines. There Is a general impression that nntil sixty or seventy years ago the tomato plant was universally regarded as a poisonous weed and that Its handsome fruit was called the "love apple,” and never cultivated except as something pleasant to look upon. But this story is Inconsistent with itself. The tomato was called the “love apple" for the reason that it was believed to be an aphrodisiac, or excitant of amorous feelings. But It could not even be suspected of such a property unless it had been habitually eaten. The truth is that there is no record of a time when In South America the tomato was not an article of food. There Is indeed no record of a time when it grew wild. When the Spaniards reached Peru they found nothing but the cultivated tomato, which was cultivated for food. They took a fancy to it and took it to Spain, from which place It found its way in 1596 to England.

Sardines.

Genuine sardines are the young of the pilchard. Their name comes from the fact that they are most numerous off the coast of Sardinia. They swim in the spring in shoals containing millions—fish shaped shoals ten miles long and a half mile wide. The sardines are netted and taken at once to the shore. There they are washed, scraped and sprinkled with salt. The salt Is soon removed, the heads and gills cut off and there is another washing. Then, on beds of green brush, the fish are dried in the sun. Next they are boiled in olive oil till cooked thoroughly. The packers—women always—take them now and pack them in the tin boxes we all know, filling up each box with boiling oil, fitting on the lid and making the box air tight by soldering the joints together with a jet of hot steam. Sardines are more or less perfect according as they are prepared more or less immediately after their capture and according as the oil they are packed in is more or less pare.

For Peace Only.

It is well known that the Friends have always been devoted to the principles of peace. *A.s they had a controlling Influence in the public affairs of Nantucket, there was no military organization on that island for several generations. How the matter was managed is told by the author of “September Days on Nantucket.” Whenever military companies came to the island for a holiday young women thronged the windows and waved handkerchiefs, but there was no rise of military ambition In the town. Once a coterie of young men formed a training company aDd sent to Boston for equipments, but their elders compelled them to make the first article of their constitution read: “This company shall be disbanded immediately in case of war.”

ENORMOUS DAMAGES

Done by the Floods That Have Swept Cities in New Jersey and Pennsylvania. AGGREGATE REACHES MILHOUS At Paterson Atone Going Above s2,* 000,000—Hundreds in Peril— Industries ParalyzedTotal Lioss of Life. Paterson, N. J., Oct. 12.—For nearly forty-eight hours Paterson was at the mercy of the Passaic river. The waters maintained a height sufficient to cut the western half of the city from the eastern, and almost all means of communication by bridges have been destroyed. Two bridges above the falls remaia, but approach to them is Impossible. Three bridges below the valley of the locks still stand, but It is Impossible to reach them. Seven other bridges in the city have been carried away, and their lose alone is half a millions dollars. The Inundation of the low lying districts of the city has resulted In Inconceivable damage to property. Flood T'ashing m Hill Away. The flood, however, Is beginning to recede. A number of buildings have fallen and many others have been undermined. If they do not fall they will be at least untenanable. Bpruiee street hill is falling away piecemeal, and only a little more than two feet of dirt and atone separate the falls basin from the big black race through which millions of gallons of water are rushing every hour. The gate house ie in a very 'weakened condition, and is liable to go if Spruice street hill breaks much more. Many Poople Put In Peril. Mayor Hlnchdlffe, who was at this point all night superintending the work of strengthening the dykes and water gates, regards the situation as most critical. One hopeful sign at this place Is that the water has fallen several inches. All day long boatmen have been at work rescuing people from the flooded districts. The suffering in the First and Second wards has been Intense, as it was almost impossible to reach the residents here. Several hundred persons were removed from houses completely surrounded by the flood and ready to collapse at any moment. A dozen or more of these houses later did collapse, and floated down the stream.

WATER COSTS MORE THAN FIRE More Than $8,000,000 Loss to the City, Net —Destitution Probable. The damage to mill property is chiefly from the submersion, of portions of the plants and great quantities of products. Thousands of men, women and children will be out of employment for a long time, and it seems altogether probable that this flood will cause to the city of Paterson a greater direct loss of money and property than the fire of nearly two years ago. The gross loss then was $6,000,000, with an insurance of more than $4,000,000. The present loss is estimated at considerably more than $2,000,000, with no Insurance. Five hundred families are homeless. Of these about 150 families are being sheltered in the Apollo hall, while the others will be taken care of in the armory, Governor Murphy having issued orders that the armory be thrown open for this purpose. Suffering - in Wellington/ and Duttonville has been very great, as no relief has been able to reach these places. Seven men are now in great peril of their lives in the Kearns Bros.’ dye house on the river margin near Paterson. A part of the works has been carried away. The men have been In that part which remains standingsince Friday at noon. While they were trying to save thousands of dollars’ worth of silks by carrying them to the top of the building the structure was surrounded by wmter and the men were cut off from all assistance because of the torrent that has been rushing by ever since. Passiae is a greater sufferer from the flood than even Paterson. Twenty mills in Passiae are under water and 8,000 workers are out of employment. Ten thousand persons have left their homes. Eight hundred houses are flooded to the eaves, and in all 1,000 acres are covered with water from a depth of a few inches to twenty feet Later.—Seven men who had been Imprisoned in Kearns Bros.’ dye bouse on the river margin since Friday without food have been rescued.

tOSS Witt REACH MILLIONS Cost of th« Flood Is Enormous at Easton, Pa.—toss at Trenton, N. J. Easton, Pa., Oct. 12.—The Delaware river began to recede about midnight and continues to fall rapidly. The Lehigh and the Bushkill are still backed up for miles, and everything along their banks is flooded. It is impossible to estimate the loss, or even approximate it, but in Easton and towns up and down the Delaware, it will take millions to replace bridges and repair the damage. Only one bridge from the headwaters of the Delaware to Easton is standing, and that to. an old covered structure at Portland. e Mayor Lehr directed a relief corps composed of policemen, National Guardsmen and citizens that rescued hundreds of flood-bound people along the Lehigh river. The refugees were

housed In tb« city guard armory. The West Easton industries are still submerged, also the gas and electric light and power plant. The light station is the only one in operation. Trenton, N. J., Oct. 12. —The extent of damages done by the flood In this section is now beginning to be fully realized. At least six' and possibly all nine of the wagon and foot bridges across the Delaware river between this city and Easton, Pa., have been carried away. The railway tracks along the river between this city and Bordentown are submerged at points to a depth of three feet and it is not considered safe to run trains until the water has receded and the washouts are discovered and repaired. The Delaware and Raritan canal and the canal fwder both are reported to have several breaks in their banks at different points.

DOWN ON THE SEA COAST Gate Ha* Spent It* Power, but Has Played Havoc Everywhere. Norfolk, Va., Oct. 12.—The northeast gale that has raged over tbis region since Thursday has practically spent its power, but for miles and miles along the Virginia coast the beach is littered with wreckage and throughout this entire section of the country devastation lies in the wake of the storm. Thousands of people crowded trains to the coast and saw the wrecks of the big barges Ocean Belle and Georgia near Virginia Beach. There is nothing left but an indiscriminate tangle of debris along the shore at Dam Neck to mark the end of the three-masted schooner Nellie W. Howlett.

The body of Captain George E. Evans, of the Georgia, washed ashore two miles south of Sea Tack life-sav-ing station. The body of George Peters, a colored seaman of the same vessel, has also washed ashore. The rescue of the remaining three negroes of the crew by Surfman William Capps, of Sea Tack station, was one of the most heroic acts in the history of the surfmen on the Virginia coast. Capps, while two miles from any other human being, and patrolling his stretch between the stations, saw one negro over 100 yards off shore in the roaring surf. Without a moment’s consideration of the peril he was facing, he stripped and plunged Into the sea that was already a seething mass of wreckage from the barges, and after a half hour battle, single-handed and alone, brought the unconscious man ashore. In the same manner he brought two others ashore. At Ocean View the great pleasure pier is a total wreck, and the damage to the club houses, cottages and extensive bulkheads will run far into the thousands. At Cape Henry the bay and ocean beach is covered with the wreckage from small craft and tiie mammoth double?decked pavilion is badly damaged. New York, Oct. 12.—The fierce storm which for several days has been raging along the North Atlantic coast has seriously interfered with shipping, and only four of the ocean liners, all of which have been greatly delayed, succeeded in making port. The four steamships which arrived all reported hurricanes and mountainous seas. Wu Killed on Her Deek. New York, Oct. 12.—The Old Dominion liner Jefferson has arrived in port after a very stormy passage. The Jefferson was due to arrive Saturday, but owing to the prevailing easterly storm was obliged to take shelter at Old Point Comfort. One of her passengers named F. B. Hawley, from Lakeview, Moon county, N. C., was knocked down on deck by a heavy sea and killed. ' Lives Lost in the Storm. New York, Oct. 12.—Since Friday night the following lives have been reported lost in the floods; At Port Jervis, N. Y., three; at Ilobart, N. Y., two; at Bloomfield, N. J., two; at Paterson, N. J.. one; off Norfolk, Va., twelve; off Wood’s Holl. Mass., three; off Dam Creek. Va., two; total, twen-ty-five. The Atlantic storm has strewn the ecast with wrecks.

Desperate Fight Among Indians.

Brownin. Mont., Oct. 13. —Seven people were killed and two wounded during a drunken row on the Blackfoot Indian reservation, Montana. The dead are: Wakes-up-last, wife and three children; Mrs. Susans Iligroad, Mrs. Little Plume. The wounded are: Alice Blgroad, shot In the leg, will recover; J. Little Plume, throat and arm cut, recovery doubtful. A number of Indians secured a quantity of whiskey and started on a big spree, which ended as above.

Quick Work of the Law.

LaCrosse, Wis., Oct. 14.—Committed forgery, captured, tried, found guilty, sentenced, and started on way to state’s prison, all in twenty-four hours, is the record of William Beunane, a southern Minneapolis division railroad man, in this city. He was found with the forged papers on him. Under the circumstances, he decided to plead guilty.

Preach Critic Says Aaaarieass hsms Are Hants Tee Cald. American lovers are cold. Tbis ie the newest disc#very off Jtefea* Huret, the Parisian newspaper writer, now sojourning to America, says the Paris correspondent of the New YackWorld.

He bas seen too mousy' exceptions, la any case, be thinks thatAmericans will finally discover, wfutti the Europeans have already teamed, - that if aitver does not arenas tore ttatleast aids much in the enjoying ot tL Mr. Huret notes that It la a fllfltalltmatter to distingaisb fiancee to America because of the coldness In* Weir ~ manner toward each other. Theiiritnpossibility astounds him. The French, he says, may not love more tharo the Americans, but at least their lovw to more in evidence. “American girls," the critic flnds> "care too much for quantity in dress. Observe the huge bouquets of violetr at $lO a bunch that they wear glued to their belts. These flowers in nowise Improve the contour of their figure, but they do not consult aesthetics in thto fashion, but run after quantity." Among the curious types Mr. Huret has found two which particularly ~ struck him. One is an old business man of eighty-seven who could hardly walk, but bad himself carried downtown every day for the pleasure o£ breathing the busy air of that quarter. The other Is a churns girl of Weber & Fields’ company, who had a bed curtain made of all the champagne corks that have popped at different suppers she has attended, each .carefully labelled with the date of ltsr*pfl|).” After a few somewhat uncomplimentary observations on American cooking in general be remarks that American buckwheat cakes are M a delicious poem of the cuisine’’ and that American grape fruit is par excellence.
