WORK Oil Y, M. C. A. PROGRESSES WELL New Building Will Be Under Roof Within Three Weeks.

COLLECTORS ARE BUSY. ARE NOW WORKING ON UNPAID SUBSCRIPTIONS BUT IT IS ALMOST CERTAIN ATI. WILL BE TURNED INTO FUND. In spite of the inclement weather of ' the past two weeks, work on the new Y. M. C. A. building has been pushed ' rapidly forward and carpenters are now hurrying to complete the laying of the fourth floor. The brick work la not so far advanced, having been delayed more by the rain, but it is thought by General Secretary George L. Goodwin that the building will be under roof by July 8 or 10, unless a long series of storms interfere. It is evident that the contracators will have to hasten work in all lines of ; construction if the building is to be finished on September 30 as was originally agreed. However, with the roof completed, plastering and inside work can commence at once and go on unhindered. The collectors who are gathering in the subscriptions are meeting with good fortune and it is probable that the bulk of the money pledged will be In the hands of the proper authorities by the time the building is finished. Finicky DlUllldllld Of Overworked Business Men and Nervous Women Quickly Conquered. A POWERFUL, DIGESTER Which Any One Can Prepare and Find Relief From All Intestinal Discomfort. This simple but powerful prescription will enable those with "finicky" stomachs to eat what they please, when and where they please, without any distressing after effects. Says a noted Battle Creek specialist: "I always prescribe the following with the greatest success, for indigestion, acute or chronic dyspepsia, Bour stomach, constipation, depression, languor, blues, wind and gas on stomach and bowels, heart palpitation and biliousness. The results are prompt and lasting from these harmless but powerfully blended extracts and essences. If not in stock, any druggist can obtain these ingredients from wholesale firms who supply our profession with rare concentrations. Take a six-ounce or half-pint bottle and get two ounces syrup of Ginger, one ounce Comp. essence of Cardiol, and two ounces of essence of Pepsin. Mix and shake well; then take one or two teaspoonfuls after each meal. One spoonful before eating will give a god appetite. One or two at retiring will relieve constipation. Give it to children who have stomachache, bad breath or bowel trouble. It may be taken freely, being entirely harmless and much better than any patent medicine containing opiates and enslaving drugs." THE ELOQUENT NUDGE. la Incident Illustrating- a Trait In W.nian'. Nature. "Do you see the woman walking in front of as there?" asked the man with the fashionable tie to the friend who was strolling up Broadway with him. "Do you notice anything particularly striking about her? Nothing, except that she is very well dressed? That's what I would say. Now, I'll bet you half a dollar that when she passes the three women walking Just ahead of her nil three will nudge each other simultaneously." The woman behind was walking faster than the three in front and she soon passed them. The three women looked her over from foot to head, then nudged each other with their elbows as if possessed with the same thought. "How did you know It?" inquired the friend as the other pocketed the half dollar. "I didn't know it." was the reply. "If I had it would have been taking an unfair advantage of you to bet. But I was reasonably certain of it. There is a certain indescribable something In some women's manner, appearance and carriage that causes all other women to xiudge each other at sight of her. I couldn't tell you Just what it Is, but I'm ready to put up a wager on it every time. The nudge is simply a part of women's . sign language which means something that cannot be put into .Words, but which every other woman understands." New York rress. The Word "Crank." Crank in the sense of an eccentric !erson Is a new word. The very first rrltten instance of crank in the modern sense that could be found for Dr. Murray's dictionary was in the reports of the trial of Gulteau, President Garfield's murderer. Gulteau's reference to somebody as a crank gave the word a vogue that has gone on spreading. But the adjective cranky was known In 17S7 as meaning sickly the German "krank"), and to Dickens in the senses bf cross and crochety. In all its meanings it springs from the root Idea of crookedness, as does crank in its sixteenth century sense of a deceitful trick, as In "quips and cranks.

Horrified passengers on a Southern train Sunday saw Will Patton, a towerman at Woodlawn avenue, hurled from his point of vantage and come crashing down upon the track, his legs doubled up under him. There was a clack and a splitting sound, as if a forest had been felled by some Titanic ax, and Patton lay motionless in front of the engine, groaning. The engine had plowed up a piece of track and struck the tower, knocking Patton out of it. Surgeons rushed to his assistance and when they lifted him up the lower halves of two legs remained on the ground. But there was no blood. There were no more groans; only two columns of cork and many, many wooden splinters. "I'll have to get some new ones now," said Patton, as they carried him back up into the tower.

Uethod by W hich Every Man May Be Ilia Ow n Surveyor. A simple way of roughly determining levels, and one which can readily be practiced by any one and which has the advantage of not requiring any special apparatus, is by means of a spirit level and a board with a straight edge. The way to go about it is this: First determine on two points the levels of which you wish to know and drive stakes into the ground. Then take a board with a straight edge and tack it to a tree, if one happens to be available. in a line with these two stakes. Tut the board at such a height that you can readily sight over it and carefully level this board by means of the spirit level. Then sight it over toward one of the stakes, having some one at that stake who will, by means of a small piece of paper, locate the point at which your line of vision cuts it in other words, where a line projected from your sighting board would strike the stake. Make some sort of mark at this point and then sight. to the other stake in the same way and mark the point where the line would strike it. By measuring distances that these two points are above the ground you can get the difference in levels with reasonable accuracy. For instance, if your line of vision has cut one stake eight feet from the ground and the other one five feet from the ground, then obviously the difference in level is three feet, or, in other words, the vicinity of the stake on which the mark is five feet from the ground is three feet higher than the other stake, and you will have a three foot fall from draining from this point to the other.

RUSH COUNTY MAN KILLED BY TRACTION Was Trying to Signal Car to Stop. Rushville, Ind.. June 22. George Uhlman, employed by A. P. Walker, proprietor of a stock farm three milees west of this city, was instantly killed about 11 o'clock last night by an eastbound Indianapolis & Cincinnati Traction car. Uhlman had gone to a nearby crossroads station with Mrs. Cornelia Lyons, who had been spending the evening at the Walker farm, for the purpose of assisting Uhlman wave a light as a signal, but the flame was extinguished before the motorman saw it. Unaware that the car was fast approachingthe headlight, it is said, being out at the time Uhlman stooped to strike a match on the rail when he was struck in the head and hurled into the shelter house at the side of the track. His body struck Mrs. Lyons, knocking her down. The woman suffered a broken arm. Uhlman's head was flattened out to almost twice Its normal size. One of his arms was broken. The body was brought to this city on the traction car. Bird Structure. Birds belong to the vertebrates, or backboned animals. They are distinguished from the rest of the vertebrates by the graceful outlines of their bodies, by their clothing of feathers, toothless Jaws and the fore limbs, or wings, being adapted to flying. Nature has made many wonderful provisions in the bird, especially in the formation and arrangement of the bones. These are compact and in many cases hollow, thus combining lightness with strength. The first bone of the backbone is so freely jointed to the skull that birds can turn their heads around and look directly back. Alms From a Tomb. A remarkable custom which has been uninterruptedly in force for 300 years is yearly observed at Ideford, a secluded parish a few miles from Chudleigh. It is that of picking up alms from the donor's tomb in the churchyard. The rector and churchwarden stand at one end of the tomb, upon the flat top of which they place coins. The recipients of the charity come up one by one to the other end of the tomb and pick up the money. London Standard. They're All Old.

"TEDDY" ATTENTIVE Roosevelt Junior Thinks Well Of Bewitching Little Girl. THE GOSSIPS ARE BUSY. Boston, Mass., June 22. If "Teddy" Roosevelt, Jr., has three days to spend at the seashore and devotes two-thirds of that brief outing to being assiduously attentive to a pretty girl, does it cause a bit of talk among the seashore gossips? Answer: It does. And that's the reason that North Shore society Is linking together today the names of "Teddy," Jr., and Miss Margaret Thomas, one of the most bewitching girls in the Back Bay younger set. Young Roosevelt was the guest of his classmate, Charles Alexander Munn, of Manchester, to "rest up" before class day and commencement week. " The Munns are on intimate terms with the Thomases, who are at Pride's Crossing. Thursday morning Miss Margaret Thomas and her bosom friend Miss Mollie Eliot, came over to the Dodge cottage. Here is young "Teddy's record: Thursday morning Bathing with Miss Thomas and others at Singing Beach. Friday afternoon Played tennis with Miss Thomas. Saturday Picnic with Miss Thomas and others. A Hen Hunt. An English paper says that the hat of a certain shortsighted master at Eaton blew off one day and as he started in pursuit a black ben dashed out of the gateway. The schoolmaster saw the hen and thought it was his bat, and all Eton was electrified by the spectacle of a hatless and breathless reverend man hunting a black hen circling from one end of the street to the other.
