Nervous Indigestion The action of digestion is eontroUed by nerves leading to the stomach. When they are weak, the stomach is deprived of its energy. It has no power to do its 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 wns an acuta •offerer from nervous indigestion; at times I was so despondent life seemed almost a burden. I tried all kinds at remedies and various physicians with little or no relief, until one night last summer I saw Dr. Miles’ Nervine ana Heart Cure advertised. I resolved to make one more trial which I did fa the purchase of one bottle of Nervine 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 thaa a dozen bottles. lam very much improved in every way; -in body, mind and spirits since. 1 make a special point to recommend the medicine, ana I feel a sincere pleasure in knowing that several persons have been benefited through my recommendations/* A.

SEES KNIFE; FEELS IT NOT.

Newly Discovered Anesthetic Works - Marvels on Patients. Dr. Hal W. Foster of Kansas City, Mo., using an anesthetic of his own discovery, assisted by Dr. John Young Brown of this city, has performed four operations at the city hospital which bid fair to work a revolution in surgical science. In all of the operations the patients were perfectly conscious during the ordeal, talked to the operator and watched his movements closely. One of the operations was for strangulated hernia, a most delicate and dangerous undertaking. Despite the gravity of the operation it was performed quickly, successfully and without pain to tue patient. Dr. Foster has not yet announced the ingredients in the manufacture of his new “pain killer.” It is not dangerous and the evil results to be feared from administering ether ana chloroform need not be feared. Persons with a weak ueart and other constitutional weaknesses can go under the knife without fear. Those who saw the operations are convinced that Dr. Foster has made a discovery which will prove of incalculable value to mankind.

TALL TELEPHONE POLE.

One In Washington 126 Feet High Is a Single Stick of Fir. One of the tallest telephone poles in the world is where the wires of tne Pacific States Telephone company cross the Chehalis river near Aberdeen, Wash. For some years past a pole 90 feet high waJ sufficient to keep the wires dear of river craft. But the increasing passage of ocean steamers made a higher pole necessary and a new one 126 feet high was set up. This pole is one single stick of Washington fir, 18 inches at the butt and eight Inches at the top. The pole weight 6,000 pounds. The stick was cut at a point 12 miles distant and towed down the .river, where it was erected by six men using a 12 horse-power hoisting engine. For mak’ng attachment to the pole and moving it a flveelghths inch steel cable was employed, run through ten inch steel blocks. The pole was set 12 feet in the ground and guyed with four steel stranded wires at the top, and also guyed about 40 feet from the top with four five-sixteenth inch stranded wires. The guys are fastened to dead men set In the ground to a depth of eight feet. These dead men are of cedar Bxß inches in section and seven feet long.

THE TACON THEATER.

Havana’s Famous Playhouse Haa an Interesting History. The history of the Tacon theater of Havana is very Interesting. In the year 1835 Francisco Marty, who was then the leader of a band of pirates which Infested the island of Cuba and who had a price of SIO,OOO on his head was captured and ordered to be put to death. Seeing there was no hope for Mm, he asked leave to see General Tacon, who was then governor general of Havana, and told him if Ms life was spared he would denounce his entire band and assist him in ridding the island of the number of pirates which Infested it at that period. Accordingly General Tacon gave him a two weeks’ parole, and inside of a week Marty had denounced his fellow pirates and turned them over to the government. For this service he was pardoned. In 1836 Marty asked for the concession to build a national theatre on the site of Parque Central. It was granted to bfrn. General Tacon went further and allowed him the privilege of the nee of forty convicts who were then confined in Morro cast’.e to assist him in the work, each convict receiving the sum of 20 cents a day. In 1838 the theater wap finished, and Marty, as a proof of the gratitude he felt toward General Tacon for sparing his life, named it El Teatro Tacon. During the insurrection in Cuba many exciting incidents took place here. In one instance a regiment of Cuban insurgents barricaded themselves in the theater and it against the Spaniards for three days. Finally they were starved out, and as they were making their escape all were shot. The theater is built of white stone, with decorations of marble, and faces Central park, being in the center of the fashionable district of Havana. It is one of the largest theaters In the world, seating over 8,000 persons. Cuban Review.

The Catlike Fox.

The fox is an excellent monser. He will lie and watch for a field mouse tn the long grass like a cat, pounce upon it, kill it with a bite and lay it on one side until he has caught another and another, when, ' picking them all up, as many as he can carry in his mouth he will canter away wltu them to serve them out to the cubs. This fact was confirmed by witnesses in Scotland who were examined by a committee of the board of agriculture when taking evidence on the occasion of the plague of field voles on the lowland sheep farms in 1893.—London Graphic.

Doe’s Flirtation.

BUI Austen a chopper, was treeu the other day by an angry buck, and it might have gone hard with him if another buck hadn’t unwittingly helped him out of his difficulty. On the day or the adventure, Auaten wore for the first time a sweater ■he bought at a marked-down sale in Rutland. It was a fiery red garment, and when a buck, accompanied by a doe, got a look at Bill sitting on a log eating his lunch, he felt that he and his lady love bad been Insulted. Austen’s ax lay some feet off, and when the buck snorted and charged he didn’t have time to get it. He did just what any other sane man would have done—shinned the nearest spruce. This was a substantial tree, with widespread ng branches, and for an hour or two BUI was reasonably comfortable. He figured that the gallant buck would depart after a time, but in this he miscalculated, Tor the deer kept close to the trunk, and every time Bill moved he pawed the ground and bellowed, now and then turning his eye on his fair companion to receive her gracious approbation. - The chopper knew well enough that it was the red sweater which aroused the ire of the buck, but with the thermometer at zero he couldn’t take it off without freezing. So he sat on a limb, kicked his legs, clapped his arms amjl swore. Finally, even with the sweater, he began to be chilled, and things looked a bit serious. He was vainly trying to hatch up some scheme to get rid of the deer when the matter was taken out of his hands. Another buck, attracted by the stamping and snorting, hove in sight, and no sooner cast eye upon the comely doe than he began a desperate flirtation. It is a sad commentary on womankind in general that the doe reciprocated. She flapped her ears, cast down her lustrous eyes and cavorted. In Deerland these are signs of flirtation not to be mistaken, and the pawing buck no sooner saw these signs of reciprocity than he charged the Invader. In another Instant a fine battle was waging, and Austen, taking advantage of the situation, descended from the tree and legged it down the mountain. At the nearest house he borrowed a gun and returned. On his'arrival at the battleground nothing was to be seen of the deer, but the snow was covered with blood, hair and bits of horn, showing that the fight had been desperate.

New Test of Death.

Although it Is asserted by nearly every practicing physician that the possibility of being buried alive can only occur where a medical examination has not been made, an eminent German physician and surgeon states that a stronger, absolutely reliable guarantee for discerning actual death is still demanded, and the demand has been met by the discovery of a new medium for ascertaining death with perfect certainty. This new death test consists in injecting a solution of fluoresclne deep into the the skin and mucous memnranes Become very yellow and the eyes a«sume the color of emeralds: if the circulation has ceased none of these results occur. The discoverer proposes that at least two hours before the body is placed In a coffin such an injection with fluoresclne be made., If life is not yet extinct the injection does no harm and the coloring within a short time entirely disappears without the slightest iniury to the patient

Cat Guards a Baby.

A baby that lives in a squalid tenement in the North End has a cat for a bodyguard to keep the rats from attacking it. The cat is tied to a bedpost.

“A few days ago,” said E. T. Brigham, of + he Helping Hand institute, “I visited a smhll shop on’ Fifth street, one of those ‘dumps’ where ‘da banan’ is sold in front, and where a living room is maintained in the rear. On the floor in the living room lay a baby sleeping. Picketed to a bedpost by a long, stout cord, was a cat. I askeu the woman who tied it there. “Sura,’ she said, ‘I tie-a da cat. Keep off-a da rat.’ “As we stood there -w r ’ould hear the rats squealing and rustling about in the flooring. Occaslonaly one stuck its head up through a hole. The cat would prick up its ears and the slow movement of the tip of its tail told that it was Watching. Then I saw th« wisdom of picketing It so near. “The woman told me that if the cat were not there the rats would be so bold they would swarm over the baby and Dlte it”—Kamas City Star.

Had a Narrow Escaoe.

The men of our plantation had gathered for a dinner in the veranda of our bungalow in Ceylon. The superintendent sat at the head of the table, my seat being on his left, six chairs from his heed. We were all having a merry time when the superintendent said; “Boys as yog value a life, keep on as usual, but none of you leave, and you, Charlie, do not stir, as your life depends on It* He spoke a few words to one of the native attendants, who hurried awsy and returned in a minute. Stepping softly behind my chair he quickly threw a wet cloth over a cobra’s head, and It was killed immediately. The snake, unnoticed by any one, had entwined Itself around the chair and brought its narrow head on a level with the side of my face. As I moved my eyes I saw Its tongue shooting In. and I knew if I moved it was certain death.—Chicago Tribune.
