Catch* lag (sold, over eating, worry, lack of exercise, failure to answer promptly the calls of nature, diseased or weakened system or strong medicines may cause It. The too common practice of taking salts, or pills or some such violent cathartic has always done more harm than good. They make the bowels act quickly and violently simply because they Irritate them, - and leave them in a worse condition than before. ' What is needed Is a mild easy herb laxative, that gives regular dally movements in all cases, yet does not pain or gripe, and which win strengthen the bowels and tone up the system Instead of depleting it Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin taken at night before going to bed will bring an easy pleasant natural movement in the morning even in the most obstinate cases and without any bad effects. No pain, no gripe and it is so safe and pleasant to take, mothers give it to their babies With splendid results. It is an aid to digestion and tones up the system as well as cures bowel trouble.

Nervous Indigestion The action of digestion 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 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 rufferer 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 and Heart Cure advertised. I resolved to make one more trial which I did to as ftsrss: 1 bedim to feel Ntter, whittr eaaxfr. aged me so much that I continued the medicine Until I had taken more thaa proved in every way, in body, mind and spirits since.

HOW HE FOUND BIG NUGGET.

Johnny Kearn, who has spent many years In the placer mines of the old Highland district, was In Butte yesterday. Mr. Kearn achieved considerable distinction last winter when he discovered the largest nugget ever found in the Highland district, it netting him |1,228 when it was sold in the assay .Office in Helena. “I will tell you how I found it,” he said to a reporter for the Standard. "I took up some ground of my own oh the head of Poodle Dog Gulch, where no one had a claim. I went up dose to a big slide and began working where placer miners had worked forty years ago and again twenty years ago. „ ; “I left the cabin pretty early and built a fire on a place where it looked like there used to be a side ditch. You could trace it although it is grass grown. I thawed the ground out and then I began digging. Pretty soon I got down to the ground, through the black dirt to the gravel. I had not shovelled few more than ten minutes before I found him. My shovel struck something that seemed hard and I looked close and saw it was yellow. His nose was pointed right toward me and you bet I got busy with my shovel and in a little while I had him in my hands. I saw it was a nugget weighing pounds—he weighed five of them—and I knocked off work and came to town. I took him to Mr. .’Johmiton of the Clark bank and he put him in the window, where people looked at him for six weeks, and then he was sold to the assay office. “Where I found the nugget men had worked, forty years; ago and twenty years ago. The last work was done by some Chinamen ; apd they were within three or four feet of the big nugget when they quit work. If they had found him they would have torn up the entire mountainside looking for more like him-“—Anaconda Standard.

Bargaining with a Burglar.

A group of his friends were discussing William Winslow Sherman, the old banker, who died not long ago. He had the coolest nerve of any man I know,” said one. “Three or four years ago, when Sherman was an old man. and partially crippled by reason of a fall from a horse, he entered his bedroom late at night to fin'd a masked burglar ransacking It. “The thief had a big gun trained on Sherman in a minute. The banker just waved it aside with a tired hand. 'Put that away,’ he said irritably. ‘Let us discuss this matter like gentlemen.’ The burglar was so surprised he laughed. ‘Now, you could hurt me if you wanted to, and might get away with some little knick-knacks,’ said Sherman. 'But you might be caught, and there's a slight probability that you could dispose of my toilet articles profitably. What would you consider a fair cash proposition to go away?' They talked it over in all peace. “The burglar thought he ought to have |lO, but Sherman, after inquiring into the man’s habits, said $8 was enough. ‘You see,’ he said, 'you’re a known thief. If this were your first offence I’d pay you your price, but now the police have your picture you ought to be glad to accept any fair compromise and run no risk.’ “The burglar finally agreed to take SB. Sherman pulled out* a $lO bill. ‘Give me $2 change,’ said he. And he got it before he paid.”—Kansas City Star. < f

New Zealand’s White Island.

White Island derives its name from the clouds of white steam in which it appears to be conUauaHy enveloped. Its arfea Is only 600 acres, and its height about 800 feet above the sea level. In form and color it is like a reposing ckmel. while its interior, with its gray, weather-beaten, almost perpendicular cliffs, recalls the Coliseum at Rome. Overhanging the southern landing place stands a column of rock closely resembling a sentinel, which has been dedicated to the memory of Capt. Cook. The water of the Island is of a pale-green hue, and anything dipped into it becomes of a red brick color. The fumes of sulphur are always plainly perceptible. • On a fine moonlight night a wonderful sight is afforded to anyone who will sit in an open boat in one of the lakfes of the island. Covering an area of fifty acres is an immense caldron hissing and snorting and sending forth volumes of poisonous steam, while all chances of egress appear to be denied by the steep, silent and gloomy cliffs.

Gambling In Old Masters.

Gambling in old masters Sir Hubert Herkomer considers is the chief cause of the miserable lot of living artists. When the wealthy buyers solely have their purses open for the catches of the auction rooms, irrespective of ai> fistic worth, pf course they, care not for modern pictures which of lite show such depreciation. Na wonder that few patrohs wll Invest in the work of living men when the market is filled with uneasiness at th*, miserable slump In painters who are barely dead, whose pictures represent enormous loss.

Loans to Farmers.

The Indian government has made an appropriation of over >1.000.000 for nse In the United Provinces In the way of loans to farmers to enable them to sink wells and Improve embankments for irrigation purposes. This will greatly add to the, area at Irrigated land' in those provinces.

THE WOMAN OF TODAY.

Thoughtless people go right along saying and writing things about women just as they did a couple of generations ago. The same old jokes come around and are dressed up a bit and reprinted, with the imaginary foibles and foolishness and weaknesses of women as the feature, with never a thought of the changes, time has wrought; never a realization of the fact that the ~women of today are far different from the women of past generations—that the place accorded women in the affairs of the world is altogether different from that that she occupied in days of old. The experience of Mrs. Scott Durand, of Chicago, is happily illustrative. She conceived the qotion of establishing a model dairy. Possibly she may ‘ not have had any very comprehensive idea of the kind of a game she was going against, and followed theory rather than practical ideas. She soon found herself “in the hole” to the extent of twenty thousand dollars. Right there is where the jokesmith would see his opportunity, and foolish people who have never learned anything about the difference between the now and the long ago as regards women, would have had her sit down and cry over the matter and then let the whole thing go to smash. But that is just what this typical woman of today did not do. She simply counted all that had gone before as so much spilt milk, not to be wept over. Then she donned a white cotton dress and a big white apron, and rolled up her sleeves, and she got right out into that dairy herself. She was her own manager and she didn’t need any assistant ornamental officers. She got rid Of all that sort of people, and she set in to learn the business and to do the work. Now she has about the most perfect model dairy in the country and runs it herself and is making big money. That is what the woman of today does.

The Calico Frock.

Fashion has brought about again the use of old-fashioned American calico which sells at 5 and 10 cents a yard. As a fabric it has never been given up in the South, but it has only been used sproadlcally in other sections of the country. Now women who want simple and pretty frocks for everyday wear are hunting up this cheap cotton fabric in its prettiest designs. Out of it are made shirtwaist suits which are worn on the train, in the house, to market, and for shopping. Such frocks go to the tub to wash and iron perfectly. One of the prettiest cotton everyday frocks worn this season was of 10-cent calico in red and white. The skirt was cut over five-gored pattern, -put into flat Inverted plaits ail around hip line, and trimmed at foot line with two folds of turkey red calico. These were about five inches apart and were two inches wide. The jumper had a shallow, round neck edged with a two-inch band of the turkey red. Another band was put on the edge of the sleeves, which were three-quarter length, quite small, and finished with two round pearl buttons. The gulmpe was of tucked white mull, with a stock to match, and the whole frock fastened down the back from collar to end of placket with round pearl buttons. With it was worn, a large shade hat of Mexican straw, and the crown was wrapped around with a scarf of turkey red, .bordered with aa- -4aehof calico. Another of these calico frocks costing about 10 cents a yard, was of red, black and white, trammed in small pipings of black. There were two wide folds on the skirt piped with the black, and the shirtwaist was made In varying widths of tucks every other one piped. It was fastened down the front with pearl buttons,.and finished with a narrow frill of white lawn, edged with black, 'l’here was no stock, but one of the soft lingerie Puritan collars. These are quite round, fastened to the neckband, extending half way to the shoulders, and finished in front with a bow of mull. With this suit was worn a narrow patent leather belt and a wide straw hat trimmed with a bow and band of black taffeta.

Fruits As Food.

By an arrangement of Providence, as beautiful as it is benign, there is an abundance of fruit for appetizing eating as well as for medicinal purposes, and the various acids and fruit values are highly recommended at this time of the year when it is claimed almost all kinds of malarial or other fevers are checked by the liberal use of fruit From the time we get the first luscious strawberries of early spring to the delicious peaches and grapes of fall, there is, indeed, an abundant store of fruits of so many kinds that one cannot tire of them. The common muskmelon is said to be one of the healthiest tonics for a weak stomach, and acids of lemons or limes, and the natural acid of berries, without seeds, are genuine tonics to the jaded system. Unless 1 fruit is thoroughly ripe and perfect it can even be injurious. Many persons cannot eat apples because the same acid is in the system amLapplesare-not healthy if they cause discomfort after eating. Many persons cannot eat grapes, unless the pulp is extracted and only the juice swallowed. But usually the majority of persons can eat freely of almost all kinds of fruit and should do so. Fruits «re cooling to the heated blood, they separate bile from the blood and exert nowerful medicinal effect upon the human system. But little sugar should be added to cooked fruits, and cream, white perfectly delicious on fruit, is not considered good, because it forms clabber as soon as it enters the warm stomach.

How to Pop Old Corn.

Old corn is difficult to pop and the kernels will be larger, more flaky, tender and crisp if the shelled popcorn Is soaked in cold water for 15 minutes, the water then drained off and the corn popped over an intensely hot fire. Good results are obtained sometimes when corn pops slowly, by sprinkling it with water. The steam causes the kernels to burst more quickly.

To Cool Loaf Cake.

Unless cake is raised from the table, it will be soggy or heavy because steam cannot escape from the lower portion and the cake sweats. Try turning it out on an upturned sieve or wire tea tray. Pies can be cooled on the wire tray and they, too will be nicer.

Water for Complexion.

There is no cure for clearing the skin when it is mottled and muddy looking that is more beneficial than drinking water. Drink ten or twelve glasses of cold (not toe) water a day and in a month or so your skin will bo as pink and white as a baby’s. Drinking quantities of water in summer causes ths tree to perspire easily, and there is wthlng which acts as a btoaoh better than perspiration.
