Nervous g" Indigestion The action of digest Hon is controlled by nerves leading to the stomach. When they are weak, the stomach is deprived of its energy. It has no power to do its t work. If you want permanent relief you must restore this energy. Dr. Miles’ Nervine restores nervous energy, and gives the organs power to perform their functions. ••For many years I was an acute •offerer from nervous Indigestion; at times I was so despondent life seemed almost a burden. I tried all kinds of remedies and various physicians with little or no relief, until one- night last Summer I saw Dr. Miles’ Nervine and Heart Cure advertised. I resolved to make one more trial which I did in the purchase of one bottle of Nervlna and one of Heart Cure. In a few days I began to feel better, which encouraged me so much that I continued the medicine until I had taken more than « dozen bottles. I am very much improved In every way; in body, mind and spirits since. I make a special point to recommend the medicine, and I feel a sincere pleasure in knowing that several persons have been benefited through my recommendations." A. 8.. MELTON. Ashville. N.

Inaccessible Forests.

Nearly all of the northern and eastern part of Guatemala is covered with a dense tropical forest, consisting or mahogany, different kinds of cedar, chide and other hard -woods. Along streams down which logs can be floated much of the mahogany has been cut, but as yet very little of the other woods have been marketed. This is especially true of the departments oi Peten, Alta Verapaz and Izabal. Most of the forests still belong to the government, and the usual method of securing the timber is by concession, by which a certain number of trees are cut at a given price per tree, or a stipulated sum is paid, for the timber or given tract It is not an, easy matter to get titles to large tracts of .land in Guatemala, as it is discouraged by the government These concessions are not usually granted for a longer period than five years. Sometimes it is stipulated that if a certain number of trees are cut during that time Uey must be renewed. The pine forests are limited, being in the mountainous country principally and Inaccessible. Most pf the lumber used comes from the untied states principally from California. The for eats of this country are generally so inacessible that the railroad companies import coal, because it is difficult for them to get enough firewood.

Railways In Algerian Desert

The Opening of tne railroad irory South Oraso to Bechar, a distance of 445 miles into the interior, was tne most interesting event of the year 1905. Considering the great difficulties encountered, not the least of which was the scarcity of water, the line being entirely through a desert, the construction was rapid. The last section, from Ben Zireg to Bechar, was built in ten months, and the roadbed is solid enough to permit of a speed of fifty miles an. hour. This section is thirty-two miies long. The most remarkable result of the building of this line has been the rapid paciflcar tion of the country traversed. At Ben Zirez, a station for the oasis of Figuig, near which the Governor-Gener-al and his escort were attacked by brigands less than two years ago, a market has been established which did a business of over $2,000,000 in 1904 and 1905. All the stations along the line have been fortified, so that any attempt at organised robbery can be immediately suppressed.—United States Consular Reports.

Houes of Ghosts.

There is an old manor house at Knaresborough,' England, parts of which were built 700 years ago. it is a line place, with .magnificent paneling in the rooms, a beadstead in which Cromwell once slant, a priests* hiding place and a. ghost The priests* hiding place is concealed by a spying door. The present occupant of the house says that during the night sounds of footsteps are heard on the landing and it is lippossible to keep the door of this room cloeed. On one occasion the footsteps were accompanied by a loud bump at the- door of another room. During some recent restoration* the skeleton of a woman was found buried at the foot of a staircase. Mr. Balfour once spoke of "an empty theatre of unsympathetic auditors,** and Lord Curzon congratulated his party on the circumstance that, ’’though not out of the woods, we have a good ship.** - A new magazine la to tell you just what is In an the other magazines The new editor will not have to work very hard.—Denver Republican.

WATERY CITIES [?]

Remains of Lake Dweller* of Ages • Age Still to be Seen in Italy. These Lake Dwellers followed two distinct systems in forming a support for their dwellings. The first was that of pile driving, the second was that of island making. In the former case plies were driven into the lake and a platform erected upon these on which the houses were built ' In the case ox the latter, masses of timber, mud and stones were dumped in shallow water, and on this artificial island dwellings were then made. The Lake Dwellers flourished thousands of years ago, but their system of building, strange to say, has been followed at a later date by civilized people. Quite a number of the world’s famous cities stand in the border oi the sea or in low places surrounded by water, very much resembling those villages of olden time. The largest of all watery cities is St Petersburg, the capital and largest city of Russia. The city Is built on plies and on islands in and aroupd the delta of the Neva. Even the admiralty quarter of the city, situated on a peninsula, is converted into Islands by canals. These islands are connected with each other and with the peninsula by a large number ox bridges, several of them very flue. The city is elevated but little above the Neva, which has more than once overflowed and caused great destruction of life and property. The banks of the principal canals are protected by walls of granite. St Petersburg owes its existence to a whim of Peter the Great, and only vast and unlimited imperial power would have thought of building a capital on a morass. ,

Hamburg, one of the free cities oi Germany, is another of the cities on stilts, so to speak, being built largely on piles. It is situated at the junction of the Elbe and the Alster, ana the latter river flows through it, ana numerous canals Intersect the city ana communicate with both rivers. Something over sixty bridges span the rivers and canals. Amsterdam, the capital of the Netherlands, is one of the watery cities. It is built on an arm of the Zuyder Zee, in the shape of a half moon, and, as the site is a marsh, is founded on piles driven into the mud. Dikes guard it against tides, which rise higher than the city’s level. A system of canals, in connection with tne > River Amstel, divides the city into about ninety islands, and the canals are crossed by nearly three, hundrea bridges, hence the name of the city, Amsterdam, meaning “the dike or dam of the Amsdel.” The city was only a small fishing village in the thirteenth century, but in the seventeenth century it was the greatest commercial center of Europe, and even now is an active and bustling city. It has a population of nearly four hundred thousand souls. Venice, in northern Italy, is built upon a cluster of islets, eighty in number, in a lagoon which is separated from the Gulf of Venice by a long and narrow sandbank divided into a number of small islands by narrow sea passagas, six in number. Inside of this sandbank and betweefl it and the mainland is the lagoon, in which .are scattered the islands upon which Venice is built As the islands m many places afford no suitable foundation for buildings, the city is largely built upon piles and stones. In many places canals serve tor streets in this city of the waters, ana the carriages are boats called gondolas. The canals are crossed by bridges of strange pattern, very, nigh in the middle but with easy steps, it Is a beautiful city with many attractions, and her structures seem to rise like a fairy vision out of the sea. The city of Ghent, in Belgium, at the junction of the Lys and the Scheldt, is built on twenty-six islands divided by canals and connected bv two hundred and seventy bridges. It is surrounded with gardens and meadows, and in its mingling of land and water resembles Venice. By the great canal which flows into the Scheldt, Ghent is connected with the sea, and it can receive at its docks vessels drawing seventeen feet of water. Copenhagen, the capital of Denmark, is situated on a number 'of islands on the shores of the. Baltic sea, and must be considered as one of the watery cities. A large number of canals abound in the lower part of the city. Piles have been sunk in many places and a large part of the city is bum upon these.

Mexican Statistics.

There are ten volcanoes tn Mexico Mexico has fifty-nine lakes and great lagoona Mexico has vast deposits of onyx and marble. Slavery was fully abolished in Mexico in 1887. Coahuila coal is exported to the United States. The army of Mexico comprises about 40,000 men. The area of Mexico Is about 750,000 square miles. The “valley” of Mexico Is 7.500 foot above Jhe sea level. Mexico is about ten times larger than Great Britain.
