A Ftadium which will prat 7."i.OoO per eoiiH and which in wint of size, ele gance uud excellence of arraiii'meiit will probably excel any other building ever erected for a fciiuiiar purpose is outlined in a nt of preliminary p'aiis Just placed iu the bands of Sir. Harry J. Furber, Jr., president of the olyiii plan Gamps association. The structure, It is asserted, will boUHe the Olympian games to be held in Chicago In H4, nays the St. Louis ;iobe-leiuocrat The building will cover approxiuiatelj eleven acres, the arena alone being )Sx feet long and loO feet wide. The ta dium at Athens, where the OlyinpluL tomes were held in 1N!. was but t!7( feet long ami 10 feet wide. The sta din 111 at Athens seated between 4."j.oo(. and SO.Ooo persona. The plans fur th Chicago stadium provide for more that 75,00 eeata in case they may be neces nary on the days when there will be epecial attractions at the games. A striking novelty in the way of a roof la provided for. The area over th eats will be roofed iu the usual way, a. a spALDrxo. but the arena will be protected by a roof or left without one with almost the ease with which an umbrella can be opened and closed. The roof of the arena will consist of series of water t curtains arranged on rollers op-eratc-d DJ frames are iu progress, the curtains -will be rolled back. In the event of a storm all that will be necessary to pui on the roof will be "to press a button Bo In good weather, while the audience will be protected from the sun's rays the contests will really take place ir the open air. and with the aid of tht adjustable r"of postponements will be umioces-s.- ry "on account of the weatb er." An u "!tr I feature is an arrange nient tor dividing the stadium into three or more buildings for special occasions when the whole space will not be reu Hired. At either end or in tht center a hall f..r any sort of a gather ing can be made in three or four days at a nominal exiense. Another fea ture of the construction is that ther will not be a pillar or post in the? wboh Interior to shut out the view from anj point. The first row of seats are five feet altove the arena and the topmost row sixty feet above. The Olympian games of 1904. It is predicted, will be greater than any evet held lefore at any iHyiod in history A Miraculous "It seemed that nothing short of a miracle could save my little daughter from an untimely death," says City Marshall A. H. Malcolm, of Cherokee, Kan. " When two years old she was taken with stomach and bowel trouble and despite the efforts of the best physicians we could procure, she grew gradually worse and was pronounced incurable. A friend advised Mik' Nervine and after giving it a few days she began to improve and finally fully recovered. She is now past five years of age and the very picture of health."

FLOWER AND TREE Palms and ferns should never be allowed to stand in a ilralt. When moss is seen on fruit trees, it may be taken as evidence of lack of thrift in the trees. The ideal soil in which to set a plant is one that is moist, without being water soaked, ueither too dry nor too wet. Dust is a great enemy of window plants In connection with dry heat K,urv must oe tasen to Keep the air moist. joist. I 1y mim trHy-arp tree, but by means of prnning it is kept so small that it seems to be only a bush. For setting in a dry soil the plant should be well rooted and stocky, as it must depend on the roots it already has to make a start. Vines of all kiirls flower and fruit freely only after they have reached the top of their support. When they have "arrived," they set about blooming. Peonies should be planted in October. Once planted they should not be disturbed, but should be allowed to form strong clumps. Thus treated the flowers increase in size aud beauty with each succeeding season. Brain Weights. The average weight of a Scotchman's brain Is sixty ounces, an Englishman's forty-nine, a Frenchman's a little over forty-five. The weight of I Mitch. Frisian, Italian and Lapp brains come near that of the Englishman, while the Jerluan brain Is in many instances heavier. The Polish brain is forty-seven ounces. Among Hindoo and other races In India it is from forty-one to fortyfour ounces, but Mussulmans average more and the Khotids. one of the aloriginal races of India, much less not quite thirty-eight ounces. Traveling toward China, the brain weight of the tribes there settled increases. In Africa the average weight is from fortythree to forty-eight ounces; in America that of the Indian averages forty-seven ounces; in Australia from forty to forty-two ounces. Orlfcln of Word firlmto. The word "gringo." which Mexicans apply to Americaus when speaking of them with contempt, is said to have had its origin thus: During the Mexican war our soldiers got into the habit of calling the simple Mexican soldiers whom they took prisoners "greenles, to signify their ignorance of things in general and of military tactics especially. The Mexicans retaliated by calling the Americans "greenos." and this word finally degenerated iuto "gringos." Her Smile. II looked despairingly into vacancy.

A story of President U;oseve!i ii.reached Washington from yuan:.--About a month ago President li.v.x velt. Dr. K:ey aud party left Washitt.ton on board the DolpUiu for a uu-; hunt along the Potomac. CbesapeaLi bay and Quamieo creek. On their return trip to Washingtoi the party stopped for awhile at Quau tico fur a hunt on laud, says the St Louis Republic. Late one afternoon while the president aud Dr. Uixey wert returning tired and hungry to the Do! phin, the sight of a diminutive log cab in situated ou the border of the woods with a thin column of blue smoke ris ing from the chimney, suggested to tb mind of the president that he woulti like to eat an old time southern "snack and that in all probability just such 8 meal could lie secured from the inuiati or Inmates of the cabin a fores;! id. "Dr. Kixey." be said, turning to th physician, "If there is anything to ea in that cabin I'm going to have it. Let t try our luck over there." So the two directed their steps to ward the cabin, the president's mine dwelling on recollections of fare thai he had eaten during buuting excursions in the west. A knock on the door of the cabir summoned Its solitary inmate, a vener able negro. The president told hi in tbaboth he and Dr. Kixey were very bun gry and that they wanted something to eat, and the old negro, with charac teristic hospitality, set before them f panful of com dodgers, some bacon anc ham and a half dozen or more exceed Ingly greasy fried eggs, for all of whict he offered many aiologies, saying thahe was "iow'ful 'Hire" and that tht food he offered was not "seen ez y'al been used to eatin'." He felt reassured, however, when tht presideut told him that the food wai quite to his liking aud still more s when he saw his strange guests fall t and eat like schoollKiys. Finishing tbeii meal, the president asked the old negrt whether he had any buttermilk, and when the latter replied that he had "8 heap of it." the president sent word t the Dolphin, summoning the rest of tht party, and on their arrival at the hu nil hands indulged in a regular butter milk feast. This tickled the old negrt immensely. While the president and bis partj were discussing several quarts of but termilk the conversation turned on tht subject of wild turkeys, the old negrt declaring that there "wuz a heap ol 'em around dis place." The result of this conversation wa) that the president resolved to hunt tur key then and there. The old negro lie the way into the woods and dropped h.aadful of corn here and there anc then imitated the wild turkey call. lit told the president not to shoot the firs' one because the others would then rut off. The president saw a fine gobble) and could not resist the temptation. s blazed away and blew it to pieces. The old negro lectured the presidem for ruiuing the gobbler and spoiling tht bunt. The presideut was so pleased witl his foresight that be asked some ques tions about other things aud found tin old negro was intelligent. The upslio' of the matter is that the old negro it today working in the government priitf i ing office as general utility man at t salary of $00 per month. j He declares that such luck does no j as a general thing strike ordinary uior j tals this side of paradise and is veri ; happy. j PHOTO WITH EVERY TICKET; Pennsylvania Hillroad'n Scheme to ( brf Lmilr the t onmiulcr.

The pain is what annoys you, and Omega Oil must be given the credit for fixing you up so you will not suf fer. Omega Oil soothes, softens and comforts anv -a pain
