MAN ABOUT TOWN.

It is a well-known fact among the newspaper men of this city that the late Colonel Tom Nelson was one of the most particular of men in regard to an interview with himself. He was very proud of his beautiful diction and suffered something akin to physical agony when he saw it marred in print. On the other hand, when he was faithfully represented in an interview, both as to language and as to sentiment, he could never say enough In praise of the reporter that did the work.

The writer was interviewing Colonel Nelson si_/ie years ago on Mexico when the courtly old (gentleman referred in the most enthusiastic manner to an experience he had recently had with the late Joseph B. McCulIagh of the Globe-Democrat. Colonel Nelson was returning from a visit to Mexico and stopped over night in St. Louis. He was at the Southern hotel at supper when McCulIagh came in and took a seat beside him. The two men were well acquainted and the conversation naturally ran along the line of Colonel Nelson's recent observations in Mexico. The interview lasted an hour or more and covering a wide range of matters pertaining to Mexican progress and civilization. At last the editor bade the statesman good night and left for his office.

The next morning Colonel Nelson took an early train out of St. Louis for Terrc Haute. The newsboy came through the chair car with the morning papers and the ex-minister to Chile and Mexico secured a copy of the Globe-Democrat. He glanced at the head lines on the first page and then turned to the second page. The rest of the story is best told in the colonel's own language. "Imagine my consternation," he said "when I saw a largo display of type heralding an interview with myself on Mexico 1 had talked to no one in St. Louis but McCulIagh and he had not taken a single note. There was a column and a half of the article and I thought it must contain a frightful garble of anything that I could have said. I read it in painful suspense. When I had finished, I exclaimed, 'Marvelous!' There was not an error in it. It contained what seemed to me almost the exact words I had used to McCulIagh during that hour and a half's talk. I made up my mind that 'the father of the interview' was still master of his child."

It must be gratifying to all good citizens to note the energetic methods that obtain with the management of the local branch oft he Young Men's Christian Association. The Sunday afternoon meetings of the association are attended by more men than any other service in the city, and that they are the sources of much profit as well as of great pleasure there is no doubt. Their success Is perhaps due in large measure to the restlessness of General Secretary Jamison. He is a firm believer in the efficacy of advertising—a species of orthodox that some business men have yet fully to grasp. When Mr. Jamison starts out "to work up a meeting," as he phrases it, he does not rest until he has accomplished his purpose. On Saturday nights the citizens of Terre Haute are greeted by announcements in chalk written on the sidewalks and at other conspicuous places telling them that "to-morrow afternoon Mr. So-and-So will speak at the Young Men's Christian Association rooms. The public cordially invited." As a rule, also, the same announcement is made in the various churches 011 the next morning and the fact is given publicity in as many ways as possible. The result is what has been pointed out above. The attendance last Sunday afternoon to hear the Syrian tWl of the religious peculiarities of

There are probably

not a great many

men who have no pet scheme for keeping themselves in good health. Some believe in running a mile before breakfast, but there are probably not many representative* of that class in Terre Haute. Some believe in drinking hot water as a substi-

tute for coffee. A few think the means to longevity lie in daily scrubbings of the flesh with horse-hair brushes. There is quite a large class of persons that has great confidence in the hygienic virtues of lager beer. Others love the beer not less but the stronger and redder beverage more. And so runs the variegated current of men's tastes, peculiarities and follies. North of town there lives an old and well known farmer by the name of Sam Daniels who has a recipe for health that is entitled to more than passing attention. It is said of him that in winter and summer, in zero weather as well as while the thermometer registers 100 in the shade, he goes out to his well the first thing on getting up in the morning and throws a bucket of water over himself. He declares that the experience, especially when ice-laden blasts whistle around his house, is unspeakably refreshing.

An Incident lecently took place on the west side illustrating the rescue methods of Miss McComb, the capable and devoted head of the Gospel Light House Mission and the, Social Settlement. Among the large number of poor people whom she regards as her charge was a pretty young girl of prepossessing character. This girl suddenly slipped out of Miss McComb's knowledge. In other words, she disappeared. For some time her whereabout was unknown to the Christian workers of the Settlement.

One evening as Miss McComb was passing out of her mission hall into the street she heard two young men talking and caught the name of the missing girl. She listened and learned that one of the young men had an engagement to meet the girl at a certain corner on the west side on a certain evening. She also learned, much to her surprise and grief, that the young woman was at that time in a north Second street resort.

The engagement was filled so far as the meeting on the corner was concerned. Further than that it did not proceed. Miss McComb was there at the appointed hour and instead of the girl accompanyinging the man she accompanied the woman of the Gospel Light House Mission. The man was given such a scare that he got away as fast as he could run. Miss McComb took the girl to the Settlement, relieved her of her gaudy professional attire and clothed her in garments of her own. The next day Miss McComb took her to Indianapolis and secured a place for her in the Rescue Home in that city. She is happy over her escape and is doing well in her new life.

The Knr Hungry Russia.

Peace or war, Russian aggression never Btands still, and it is most characteristic of her patient and farsighted diplomacy that she reaps more in peace than at the close of her most successful wars. To explain this ceaseless ancf pauseless advance upon all her neighbors they tell us that she wants an open port

an open ocean—that it is absurd

to ask an empiro like Russia to put np with an outlet to the sea that is blooked by ice four months in every year. But that is no answor to the aoensation, if accusation it be, of universal aggression. The possession of such a port is not the end, but the means.

There is no end Russian ambition. Each point won i.Vui stepping stone to the next. Eastern Siberia has no glut of merchandise struggling for a vent at Vladivostok, would Constantinople bo any better fitted for the export grain trado than Odessa. The port may foster a trado as yet in its infancy, but this is just another reason for saying that it is not tho goal of Russian aspiration, but only a milestone

the road. If not for

empiro and for competitive trade why seek an open port at all? Still less can the constant absorption of new territory be explained by any superfluity of popu# lation in the old. It is nothing, after

The Advantage* of Rest.

There is no better preventive of nervous exhaustion than regular, unhurried, muscular r.vreiso. If we could moderate our hurry, lessen our worry and increase our open air exorcise, a large proportion of nervous diseases would be abolished. For those who cannot get a sufficient holiday the -sfc substitute is an occasional day in bed. Many whose nerves are constantly strained in their daily avocation have discovered this for themselves. A Spanish merchant in Barcelona told his doctor that he always went to bed for two or three days whenever he could be spared from his business, and he laughed at those who spent their holidays on toilsome mountains.

managfs to keep A hard worked woman, who has for many years conducted a large wholesale business, retains excellent nerves at an advanced age, owing, it is believed, to her habit of taking one day a week in bed. If we cannot avoid frequent agitation, we ought, if possible, to give the nervous system time to recover itself between the shocks. Even an hour's f»eclu-«-on after a good lunch will deprive a hurried, anxious day of much of its injury.

Some cnrion^Wories are told of the ways of the newcomer tc South Africa. It is said that recently a fresh clerk was imported for on office of the Netherlands (Transvaal) railway. The gentle iau in question was born in Holland, and took thence an alarming amount of luggage. During the unpacking of one of his largest boxes-^an operation which was watched wi^ interest by several of the callow youth's colleagues—a bright, new steel spade came to view.

How Sponges Are Propagated.

There are a great many things which the scientists of today are not able to explain, and a great many others over which they have frequent discussion^ owing to a difference of opinion. The method by which sponges are propagated when left to themselves is one of these mooted scientific questions. Some declare that they are reproduced from true eggs others are equally positive that they are propagated from buda— St. Louis Republic.

rhe First Botanic Ght^tUsnjk

After the discovery of the medioal properties of plants it must have followed, in course of time, that representatives of the species to whioh remedial properties were attributed should be collected and grown in some place conveniently and readily accessible, as need demanded. The last step did not immediately follow, however, sinoe, among the conditions which were earlier supposed to influenoe the potency of medicinal herbs, the locality in which grown and the mysteries attending their collection were of the greatest importance. The first authentic record of the introduction of medicinal plants into cultivated plots of ground dates no farther back than the time of the elder Pliny, 28-79 A. D., who writes of the garden of AntoniuB Castor, at Rome, in which were grown a large number of medicinal plants. This step may have been taken much earlier by the Greeks, Chinese or Mexicans, however.

Later the Benediotine monks of northern Italy paid great attention to the growing of remedial herbs and devoted an important proportion of the monastery gardens to this purpose. This practice was also carried beyond the Alps, and in 1020 a garden was in existence at the monastery of St. Gall, in Switzerland, a few kilometers distant from Lake Constance, which contained 16 plots occupied by medicinal plants. A garden of this charaoter was founded in 1809 at Salerno and another in Venice in 1380. In 1809 the Benedictine monks founded an academy called "Civitas Hippocratica" at Monte Cassino, in Campania, which appears to the writer to be among the earliest sohools, if not the first school, of medicine and established in connection with it a "physics garden, —Popoular Science Monthly.

Outgeneraled Her 111 tuck.

The Bonhomme Richard was an unlucky ship. Paul Jones himself on tak ing command of her at Lorient, France, wrote a most doleful letter about her to one of his aristocratic patronesses in Paris. She was "a wornout old Indiaman," and 'her forecastle was a babel. "Fourteen different languages are spoken in my forecastle," said Jones, dismayed at the appearance of his motley crew.

Two days out at sea the Bonhomme Richard was fouled by her consort, the Alliance, and had her jib boom and fore topmast oarried away. Jones then put back to Lorient, perfectly convinced of the unluckiness of his ship. But through that aocident he found 114 American seamen who had just been released from English prisons by exchange. Among them was Richard Dale, whom Jones at onoe appointed first lieutenant. These all volunteered into the Richard, Jones promptly discharging enough of his polyglots to make way for them. Prior to that he had only about 40 Americans. This addition made 154 fighting Yankee seamen, and they were the men who made the Serapis siok a few weeks later off the east ooast of England.

Thus it happened that the grandest exploit in naval history was achieved by an unluoky ship, and she obtained the means of aohieving it through a distressing accident—Philadelphia Times.

Love's Young Dream.

The wind swept a cloud of dust about them as they turned the corner into Miami avenue. 'Did you get any dust in your eyes, darling?" he asked fondly, holding her closely to him, as though to keep the too eager wind away. "Yes," she murmured, searching for her handkerchief. "Which eye, dearest?" "The right one, love. Did yot» get anything in yours?" she asked anxiously, seeing his handkerohief appear. "Yes, darling." "Which eye, dearest?" "The /ight one, love." "How sweet!" she exolaimed, with a glad light glowing in her well eye. "Do you suppose, dearest heart, that it oould have been part of the same pieoe of dust that got in our eyes, darling?" "I hope it was," he «aH, beaming with ono eye and wiping tu '•her. "Wouldn't it be sweet, dea "Wouldn't it, love?"

HOW TO FIND OUT.

Fill a bottle or common water glass with urine and let it stand twenty-four hours: a sediment or settling indicates a diseased condition of the kidneys. When urine stains linen it is positive evidence of kidney trouble. Too frequent desire to urinate or pain in the back, is also convincing proof that the kidneys and bladder are out of order.

WHAT TO DO.

There is comfort in the knowledge so often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer's SwampRoot, the great kidney remedy, fulfills every wish in relieving pain in the back, kidneys, liver, bladder and every part of the urinary passages. It corrects inability to hold urine and scalding pain in passing it, or bad effects following use of liquor, wine or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant necessity of being compelled to get up many times during the night to urinate. The mild and the extraordinary effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized. It stands the highest for its wonderful cures of the most distressing cases. Sold by druggists, price fifty cents and one dollar. For a sample bottle and pamphlet, both sent free by mail, mention The Mail and send your full postoffice address to Dr. Kilmer & Co., Binghampton, N. Y.
