When a man has suffered from dyspepsia so many years that he can't remember when he had a natural appetite, and then hits on a cure, he maybe excused for saying "it acts like magic." When it is a simple wholesome food instead of any one of a large number of so called remedies in the form of drugs, he is more than ever likely to feel as though a sort of miracle has been performed. A Chicago man, in the delight of restored digestion, puts it in this way: "Like magic, fittingly describes the manner iu which Grape-Nuts cured me of poor digestion, coated tongue and loss of appetite, of many years standing. "I tried about every med'hie that ! was recommended to me, without re lief. Then 1 tried Grape-Nuts on the suggestion of a friend. By the time I had finished the fourth package, my ! stomach was all right, and for the . past two months, I have been eating with a relish, anything set before me. i That is something I had been unable I to do previously for years. "I am stronger than ever and I consider the effects of Grape-Nuts on a weak stomach as something really wonderful. It builds up the entire body as well as the brain and nerves."

Actors Have Deen Known to Die From the Malady. Perhaps the most terrible malady which can attack the actor in the course of his performance in the peculiar ditta e known as stage fright. I'hrough its evil effects strong men and women have teen known to faint, break down and do many other queer 1 I things, and there are even on record ! several cases of people who have died j j through this horrible seizure. ; Some years ago a young novice who was to appear for the first time arrived at the theater very white and shaky. Brandy being given him, he appeared slightly better, but no sooner ; had he set his foot on the stage than j he clapped his hand to his heart, w ith j a low cry, and fell down dead. The overwhelming sensation induced by j stage fright had attacked his heart, 1 and his theatrical career ended thus even at its beginning. J Quite as ghastly was the case of the ' young amateur actress who, strangely enough, had never experienced stage fright when playing with her fellow j amateurs, but who was seized with the i attack on making her first professional j appearance. She went through the j scene aided by the prompter, her eyes ' glazed, her hands rigid, and when the exit came it proved her exit from life's stage as well as the mimic boards, for she staggered to her dressing room and fell Into a comatose state, from which 6he never recovered. Terhaps, however, the most peculiar Instance of all was that of the veteran performer who had gone through thirty years of stage work without experienc - Ing this malady. One night, however, he confided to a fellow player that a quite unaccountable nervousness had suddenly taken hold of him and that he did not think he could ever act again. His comrade laughed at the notion and urged him to go on, as usual, but his astonishment may well be conceived when the poor old player went on the stage and, after making several vain efforts to speak, fell back and expired. The doctor who made the postmortem examination stated that death was due to failure of the heart's action, evidently induced by the presence of n attack of stage fright. Pearson's Weekly. The One Sided Humor of Spain. The Spanish peasant is the most polished gentleman in the world, but the provincial dandy is not a pleasant person. He does not limit himself to admiring one (which might be endured) He laughs at one. Since the foreign city hat is different from the Spanish town hat, the Spanish town hat laughs and points its finger. Even a lady hat will do this. It never occurs to the Spanish provincial headgear that It Is very funny, too that is. because a Spaniard Is under It, and therefore It must be right. Yet if the foreign city hat laughed the resentment would be deep. Louise Closser Hale in Harper's. Bunions. "By the way." said the old shoemaker, "do you know what makes a bunion? No?

SINGERS WHO SAVED LIVES. Th Way Lablache, the Basso, Con quered a Star and a Burglar Grisi'S Control of a Madman With Razoft A Musical Wifa's Presence of Mind. That music really has charm to soothe the savage beast is proved by the muny times that the power of song has twu the means of saving life. Ou one occasion wheu Luigi Lablache, the great opera basso, was aimlessly strolling through a French fair ho was surprised by a suddou stampede of the sightseers, who rushed by him iu a great panic, crying that one of the great bears had escaped from the menagerie. So surprised that he scarcely realized his danger, the singer stood his ground aud almost hntnedlatel found himself face to face with the maddned beast, which baited for a moment before making its final ruh. In that moment Itblache began 10 sing one of his favorite airs in a voice so deep and terrifying that the bear slunk away, thoroughly cowed. It was this same singer who, when confined to his bed by a broken leg. was surprised by hia landlady, who burst Into his room, crying that a robber was In the bouse and was about to kill her husband unless he revealed the hiding place of their money and plate. Lablache, unable because of his injury to give other assistance, began to sin an aria in such thunderous tones a to terrify the robber, who fled. Mine. Giulia tJrisl was once traveling from the south of France to Pari in company with several companion of her own sex, when their privacy was Intruded upon by a man who entered their apartment at a wayside station. Before long he began to act so oddly as to make the women apprehensive and at last terrified them by drawing a razor, which he began to flourish, at the same time demanding: that he be permitted to never their heads. The women realized that they had a madman in the carriage wltb j them and also that they wer without j protection until the next stop of th ! train. In consequence they becaui hysterical all save (Irlsl, who with great coolness suddenly began to sing In a soft voice that gradually assumed volume as she gained the attention of Lthe man, whose threatening attitude j gave way to rapt attention as the sons ' advanced. Song after song did Grlsi sing, and not another movement did the man make until the next station was reached, when the alarm was given and be was taken into custody. It transpired afterward that he had escaped from a lunatic asylum. Jennie Llnd once saved not only her own, but hundreds of other lives by her gift of song. A fire broke out back of the stage In a small theater In ber native land where she was singing. The audience became alarmed, and there might have been a panic had not Jennie Llnd stepped coolly out upon the stage and begun singing a favorite folk song. Reassured and entranced, the audience repeated themselves, and the fire was soon extinguished. Another well known opera star while traveling with some friends in Mexico was surprised by a company of half breed bandits, at whose approach tho escort fled, leaving their charges to the mercy of the robbers. The attitude of the latter on finding that their captives had little money and valuables was menacing in the extreme, and the travelers all expected to be murdered that night. When the robbers were eating their supper the star began to sing, and his captors were so delighted that they demanded more, For a time be grntlfled them, but at last suggested that he should sing for the freedom of himself and his friends. To this the bandits, cheered by wine and song, agreed, and after having sung for au hour he and bis companion were free. Knelsnel, the notorious Bavarian brigand, once planned to rob a house In the neighborhood of Munich and, if necessary to secure the money and plate he knew was in the house, murder the inmates, a young married woman and her two female servants.

Some years ago a released convict went to the house of the Indiana Judge who had sentenced him to prison with the Intention of shooting him. As he crept nearer to the window teld which the judge was sitting and raised his revolver to fire the sweet voice of the judge's wife floated out on the mmmer air from the bedroom, where she was singing her baby to sleep, sll unconscious of her husband's peril.
