Sleep and Nerve Res..
In the days when eight hours for
sleep was nominally regarded as an
honr too long for any self-respecting
Individual, the exhausting character
of ^modern life was unknown. There
was less wealth and more content
ment; less competition and more se
curity; fewer distractions, but more
simplicity. Work was easier, slower;
and care, anxiety, apprehension—in
a word, worry—did not feed, like the
worm i’ th’ bud, upon the hours ex
empt from toil. We are remorseless
in overtaxing the delicate machanism
of our minds and nerves. The best
walker, for instance, does not propose
to himself to go regularly 60 miles a
day, or to subject the same set of
mubdes in any other form of phys
ical exercise to intense and unremit
ting labor. But that is what we do
with the immediate agent of our
minds—the brain machine. We can
not watch its operations. We often
assume that its movements are as
light and endless as the ripples of the
universal air. We know and never
theless we forget that the brain is a
substantial apparatus as liable to de
preciation as the fixed plant in a
workshop. Now nothing is more cer
tain than this, that the potential ca
pacity of the human brain has not
increased, if at all, in anything like
the proportion of the immensely ag
gravated demand upon it. The mod
ern man is subject to as much mental
and moral wear and tear in a day
as his ancestors in no very remote
generation experienced in a week,
says London Telegraph. Yet in re
spect to sleep we have hardly changed
traditional habit. We keep later and
still later hours. We catch our trains
in the morning as usual. There is no
doubt whatever that we burn the can
dle at both ends with unprecedented
disregard of the laws of phsyhological
economy and that the amount of rest
we allow for nerve and brain is no
longer adequate.
Production of Silver.
The production of silver in the
United States has not varied rad
ically since 1899, and we arrive at our
judgment of a radical variation by
comparison with the change in the
output of gold, which has indeed been
radical, says the Black Hills Mining
Review. There was a difference of
14,000,000 ounces, approximately 28
per cent., between the low production
of 1894 and the high of 1892, while
there has been no new extreme with
in 12 years. The annual output of
gold has considerably more than
doubled within that time. The vari
ation in the world's silver production
during the 15 year period has been
less than that of the United States,
the high extreme of 1898 exceeding
the low of 1891 by about 2G per cent.
The world's annual production of gold
has, on the other hand, been going
steadily forward, except for the inter
ruption by the Boer war, practically
trebling since 1891. The United
States has bought no silver in 13
years. The last purchases were un
der the act of 1S90, by which in ex
cess of 168,000,000 ounces were ac
quired. During the 20 years follow
ing 1873 the government purchased
almost 500,000,000 ounces, or at the
average rate of about 25,000,000
ounces per year.
In one sense Harvard was defeated
on the Thames and in another sense
she won. It was a triumph of com

well worth the result in drawing more
closely together the sportsmen of
both nations and in intensifying the
popular friendship which the experi
ences of recent years have done so
much to develop. The crimson of
Harvard was indeed the “red badge of
courage,” but it also stood for the
first color in our national emblem,
and it represented the warm blood of
kinship.

“A SMALL THING.'
Do you believe In progress? Do you
believe that all the wonderful achieve
ments of the nineteenth century—the
railroad, the telegraph, the telephone,
electric light, kerosene, sewing ma
chine, agricultural machinery, steam
ships, trolley cars, etc.—have made
life easier and better worth living? I
do. I believe that a man who lives
40 years under modern conditions has
experienced more life and better life
than Methusalem, though he had lived
20 centuries of his time.
The triumphs of the nineteenth cen
tury were triumphs of human service
—the placing of knowledge and the
fruits of knowledge within the reach
of the common man. Every man’s
life is better, happier, more secure be
cause of them. We live more comfort
able, more sociable lives in better and
more comfortable houses because of
them. Even the hopeless dweller in
the worst city slums is more com
fortable in his physical conditions than
the middle-class citizen of the days of
George Washington.
In little things as in great, comfort
and convenience have been the legacy
of the “Century of Improvement.”
Paint, in a certain sense, iB a minor
matter, yet it gives beauty, healthful
ness and durability to our dwellings.
Fifty years ago painting was a serious
proposition, a luxury for the owners
of stately mansions who could afford
the expense of frequent renewals. To
day ready mixed paint is so cheap, so
good, and so universal that no house
owner has an excuse for not keeping
his property well painted."
A small thing, indeed; yet several
hundred large factories, employing
thousands of chemists and skilled
workmen, are running every day in
the year to keep our houses fresh,
clean and wholesome.
A small thing, yet a can of good
ready mixed paint, such as one may
buy from any reputable dealer, em
bodies the study of generations of
skilled chemists, the toil of a thou
sand workmen in mill, laboratory and
factory, and the product of a long
series of special machinery invented
and designed just to make that can
of paint and to furnish us an infinite
variety of tints, colors and shades.
It was a wonderful century, that
nineteenth of our era, and not the
least of its wonderful gifts was that
same commonplace can of paint.

AT THE SUMMER HOTEL.
Experience of Winston Churchill Fa
miliar to Many.
Winston Churchill in an address
that he made in Concord recently
praised the New Hampshire farmer.
“Ours,” be said, “is a state fitted
above all others for a summer resort.
New Hampshire, with its superb cli
mate, its mountains, its lakes and
forests, will in a generation or two
be one great pleasure ground—a vast
park, dotted with beautiful villas, to
which will ccme each summer fam
ilies from all parts of America.
“In anticipation of this many farm
ers are learning to conduct hotels.
They are building cottages for sum
mer visitors. Some of them, too, arc
taking boarders.
“And I am glad to say that the New
Hampshire farmer is in a position to
take boarders, because, unlike the
farmers in other states that I could
name, he does not send all his good
things to the city. I once boarded at
a fine big farm, but the fare was
wretched—canned vegetables, con
densed milk and so on.
“ ‘By Jove,’ I said one morning at
breakfast, as I pushed my egg cup
from me, ‘these eggs are really not
as fresh as those I get in New York.’
My farmer host snorted.
“ ‘That’s rank prejudice on your
part, Mr. Churchill,’ he said. ‘It’s
from New York that all our eggs
come.’ ”
LOOSE TEETH
Made Sound by Eating Grape-Nuts.
Proper food nourishes every part of
the body, because Nature selects the
different materials from the food we
eat, to build bone, nerve, brain, mus
cle, teeth, etc.
All we need is to eat the right kind
of food slowly, chewing it well—our
digestive organs take it up into the
blood and the blood carries it all
through the body, to every little nook
and comer.
If some one would ask you, “Is
Grape-Nuts good for loose teeth?”
you’d probably say, “No, I don’t see
how it could be." But a woman in
Ontario writes:
“For the past two years I have used
Grape-Nuts Food with most excellent
results. It seems to take the place
of medicine in many ways, builds up
the nerves and restores the health
generally.
“A little Grape-Nuts taken before re
tiring soothes my nerves and gives
sound sleep.” (Because it relieve ir
ritability of the stomach nerves, being
a predigested food.)
“Before I used Grape-Nuts my teeth
were loose in the gums. They were so
bad I was afraid they would some day
all fall out. Since I have used Grape
Nuts I have not been bothered any
more with loose teeth.

ed and I have gained in health, weight
and happiness since I began to use
Grape-Nuts.” Name given by Postum

Geronimo, untamed man killer, un
reconstructed savage, wily, blood
thirsty and cruel, now an aged, hope
less, helpless, dying prisoner, has told
the complete story of his life. His
autobiography, which has been edited
for him by S. M. Barrett, with full per
mission and consent of the war de
partment, is about to be published. It
makes a long, weird and intensely in
teresting story, as will be noted by
portions reproduced here, says the
New York Herald.
Mr. Barrett, after gaining the confi
dence of the old Apache, led him to
tell of his birth, his early days and
his warfare on other Indians and pale
faces.
Of his battles with Miles and Crook,
of what he calls the injustice done to
the Indian, the old savage writes:
“Perhaps the greatest wrong ever
done to the Indians was the treat
ment received by our tribe from the
United States troops about 1863. The
chief of our tribe, Mangus Colorado,
went to make a treaty of peace for our
people with the white settlement at
Apache Tejo, N. M. It had been re
ported to us that the white men in
this settlement were more friendly
and more reliable than those in Ari
zona, that they would live up to their
treaties and would not wrong the In
dians.
"Mangus-Colorado, with three other
warriors, went to Apache Tejo and
held a council with these citizens and
soldiers. They told him that if he
would come with his tribe and live
near them they would issue to him,
from the government, blankets, flour,
provisions, beef and all manner of
supplies. Our chief promised to re
turn to Apache Tejo within two weeks.
When he came back to our settlement
he assembled the whole tribe in coun
cil. I did not believe that the people
at Apache Tejo would do as they said
and therefore I opposed the plan, but
it was decided that with part of the
tribe Mangus-Colorado should return
to Apache Tejo and receive an issue
of rations and supplies. If they were
as represented, and if these white
men would keep the treaty faithfully,
the remainder of the tribe would join
him and we would make our perma
nent home at Apache Tejo. I was to
remain in charge of that portion of
the tribe which stayed irf Arizona. We
gave almost all of our arms and am
munition to the party going to Apache
Tejo, so that in case there should be
treachery they would be prepared for
any surprise. Mangus-Colorado and
about half of our people went to New
Mexico, happy that now they had
found white men who would be kind
to them, and with whom they ami Id
live in peace and plenty.
Claims Comrades Were Slain.
“No word ever came to use from
them. From other sources, however,
we heard that they had been treacher
ously captured and slain. In this di
lemma we did not know just exactly
what to do, but fearing that the troops
who had captured them would attack
us, we retreated into the mountains
near Apache Tejo.
"During the weeks that followed
the departure of oar people we had
been in suspense, and, failing to pro
vide more supplies, had exhausted all
of our store of provisions. This was
another reason for moving camp. On
this retreat, while passing through the
mountains, we discovered four men
with a herd of cattle. Two of the men
were in front in a. buggy and two
were behind on horseback. We killed
all four, but did not scalp them; they
were not warriors. We drove the cat
tle back into the mountains, made a
camp ,and began to kill the cattle and
pack the meat.
“Before we had finished this work
we were surprised and attacked by
Vlnited States troops, who killed in
all seven Indians—one warrior, three
women and three children. The gov
ernment troops were mounted, and so
were we, but we were poorly armed,
having given most of our weapons to
the division of our tribe that had gone
to Apache Tejo, so we fought mainly
with spears, bows, and arrows. At
first I had a spear, a bow and a few
arrows, but in a short time my spear
and all my arrows were gone. Once
I was wounded, but by dodging from
side to side of my horse as he ran I
escaped. During this fight we scat
tered in all directions and two days
later reassembled at our appointed
place of rendezvous, about 50 miles
from the scene of this battle.
Fought With Rocks and Clubs.
“About ten days later the same
United States troops attacked Aur
new camp at sunrise. The fight lasted
all day, but our arrows and spears
were all gone before ten o’clock and
for the remainder of the day we had
only rocks and clubs with which to
fight We could do little damage with
these weapons, and at night we moved
our camp about four miles back into
the mountains, where it would be hard
for the cavalry to follow us. The next
day our scouts, who had been left be
hind to observe the movements of the
soldiers, returned, saying that the
troops had gone back toward San
Carlos reservation.
“We went on toward Old. Mexico,
but on the second day after this Unit
ed States soldiers overtook us about
three o’clock in the afternoon and we
fought until dark. The ground where
we were attacked was very rough,
which was to our advantage, for the
troops were compelled to dismount in
order to fight us. I do not know how
many soldiers we killed, but we lost
only one warrior and three children.
We had plenty of guns and ammuni
tion at this time. Many of the guns
and much ammunition we had ac
cumulated while living in the reserva
tion, and the remainder we had ob
tained from the White Mountain
Apaches when we left the reservation.
“The troops did not follow us any
longer, so we went south almost to
Casa Grande and camped in the Sierra
de Saharipa mountains. We ranged
in the mountains of Old Mexico for
about a year, then returned to San
Carlos, taking with us a herd of cat
tle and horses.
Horses and Cattle Seized.
“Soon after we arrived at San Car
los the officer in charge, Gen. Crook,
took the horses and cattle away from
us. I told him that these were not
white men's cattle, but belonged to us,
for we had taken them from the Mex
icans during our wars. I also told
him that we did not intend to kill
these animals, but that we wished to
keep them and raise stock on our
range. He would not listen to me,
but took the stock. I went up near
Fort Apache and Gen. Crook ordered
officers, soldiers and scouts to see that
I was arrested. If I offered resistance
they were instructed to kill me.
“That night we held a council of
war; our scouts had reported bands of
United States and Mexican troops at
many points in the mountains. We
estimated that about two thousand
soldiers were ranging these mountains
seeking to capture us.
Interview with Gen. Crook.
“Gen. Crook had come down into
Mexico with the United States troops.
They were camped in the Sierra de
Antunez mountains. Scouts told me
that Gen. Crook wished to see me and
I went to his camp. When I arrived
Gen. Crook said to me, ‘Why did you
leave the reservation?’ I said: ‘You
told me that I might live in the reser
vation the same as white people lived.
One year I raised a crop of corn, and
gathered and stored it, and the next
year I put in a crop of oats, and when
the crop was almost ready to harvest
you told your soldiers to put me in
prison, and if I resisted to kill me. If
I had been let alone I would now. have
been in good circumstances, but in
stead of that you and the Mexicans
are hunting me with soldiers.’ He
said: ’I never gave any such orders;
the troops at Fort Apache, who spread
this report, knew that it was untrue.’
Then I agreed to go back with him to
San Carlos.
“It was hard for me to believe him
at that time. Now I know that w’hat
he said was untrue, and I firmly be
lieve that he did issue the orders for
me to be put in prison or to be killed
in case I offered resistance.
“We started with all our tribe to go
with Gen. Crook back to the United
States, but I feared treachery and con
cluded to remain in Mexico. We were
not under any guard at this time.
The United States troops marched in
front and the Indians followed, and
when we became suspicious we turned
back. I do not know how far the
United States army went after myself
and some warriors turned back before
we were missed, and I do not care.
Capt. Lawton in the Field.
“Soon Gen. Miles was made com
mander of all the western posts, and
troops trailed us continually. They
were led by Capt. Lawton, who had
good scouts. The Mexican soldiers
also became more active and more
numerous. We had skirmishes almost
every day, and so we fir •‘My decided

Manager of the London Times.
N THE general feeling in England toward America it is dif
ficult to write briefly because I think it is so generally misun
derstood. TLv? popular feeling in America is, I believe, that
until recently there was a strong anti-American feeling here,
and that it has now been removed.
So long as that idea remains there will be misconceptions.
The fact is that there never was anything but a friendly feel
ing on this side, though I quite admit it was difficult for an
American to realize this.
Have you never seen father and son—the former devoted
te the latter, but never understanding him—always too inclined to find
faojj^tgo ipofjnfd to patronize—too inclined to criticise—the son getting
to break up into small bands. With
six men and four women I made for
the range of mountains near Hot
Springs. New Mexico. We passed
many cattle ranches, but had no trou
ble with the cowboys. We killed cat
tle to eat whenever we were in need
of food, but we frequently suffered
greatly for water. At one tine wc
had no water for two days and nights
and our horses almost died trom thirst.
We ranged in the mountans of New
Mexico for some time; then, think
ing that perhaps the troops had left
Mexico, we returned. On our return
through Old Mexico we attacked every
Mexican found, even if for no other
reason than to kill. We believed they
had asked the United States troops to
come to Mexico to fight us.
“South of Casa Grande, near a place
called by the Indians Gosoda, there
wa,s a road leading out from the town.
There was much freighting carried on
by the Mexicans over this road.
Where the road ran through a moun
tain pass we stayed in hiding, and
whenever Mexican freighters passed
we killed them, took what supplies
we wanted and destroyed the remaind
er. We were reckless of our lives,
because we felt that every man’s hand
was against us. If we returned to the.
reservation we wr.uld be put in prison
i and killed; if we stayed in Mex
ico they would continue to send sol
diers to fight us; so we gave no quar
ter to any one and asked no favors.
“After some time we left Gosoda
and soon were reunited with our tribe
in the Sierra de Antunez mountains.
Skirmishing Every Day.
“Contrary to our expectations the
United States soldiers had not left
the mountains in Mexico, and were
soon trailing us and skirmishing with
us almost every day. Four or five
times they surprised our camp. One
time they surprised us about nine
o'clock in the morning, captured all
went directly to Gen. Miles and told
tint how 1 had been wronged and I
wanted to return to the United States
with my people, as we wished to see
our families, who had been captured
and taken away from us. Gen. Miles
said to me: ‘The president of the
United States has sent me to speak to
you. He has heard of your trouble
with the white men, and says that if
you will agree to a few words of treaty
we need have no more trouble. Ge
ronlmo, if you will agree to a few
words of treaty all will be satisfac
torily arranged.’
“Then he talked with me for a long
time and told me what he would do
for me in the future if I would agree
to the treat}'. I did not hardly believe
Gen. Miles, but because the president
of the United States had sent me word
I agreed to make the treaty and to
keep it. Then i asked Gen. Miles what
the treaty would be. Gen. Miles said
to me: ‘I will take you under govern
ment protection. 1 will build you a
house. I will fence you much land.
I will give you cattle, horses, mules
and farming implements. You will be
furnished with men to work the farm,
for you yourself will not have to work.
In the fall I will send you blankets
and clothing, so that you will not suf
fer from cold in the winter time.
“ ‘There is plenty of timber, water
and grass in the land to which I will
send you. You will live with your
tribe and with your family. If you
agree to this treaty you shall see your
family within five days.’
Agreed to Make Treaty.
“I said to Gen. Miles: ‘All the offi
cers that have been in charge of the
Indians have talked that way, and it
sounds like a story to me; I hardly
believe you.’ He said: ‘This time it
is the truth.’ I said: 'Gen. Miles, I
do not know the laws of the white
man, nor of this new country where
you are to send me, and I might break

our horses (IS in number) and secured
our store of dried meats. We also
lost three Indians in this encounter.
About the middle of the afternoon of
the same day we attacked them from
the rear as they were passing through
a prairie—killed one soldier, but lost
none ourselves. In this skirmish we
recovered all our horses except three
that belonged to me. The three horses
that we did not recover were the best
riding horses we had.
“Soon after this scouts from Capt.
Lawton's troops told us that he wished
to make a treaty with us; but I knew
that Gen. Miles was the chief of the
American troops, and I decided to
treat with him.
“I sent my brother Perico (White
Horse) with Mr. George Wrattan on
to Fort Bowie to see Gen. Miles and
to tell him that we wished to return
to Arizona; but before these messen
gers returned I met two Indian scouts
—Kayitah, a Chokonen Apache, and
Marteen, a Nedni Apache. They were
serving as scouts for Capt. Lawton s
troops. They told me that Gen. Miles
had come and had sent them to ask
me to meet him. So I went to the
camp of the United States troops to
meet Gen. Miles.
Gen. Miles’ Promises.
“When I arrived at their camp 1
_ -M-m-m.-m
1 their laws.' He said: ‘While I live
you will not be arrested.’ Then I
agreed to make the treaty. Since I
have been a prisoner of war I have
teen arrested and placed in the guard
house twice for drinking whisky.
“We stood between his troopers and
my warriors. We placed a large stone
on the blanket before us. Our treaty
was made by this stone, and it was
to last till the stone should crumble
to dust: so we made the treaty, and
bound each other with an oath.
“I do not believe that I have ever
violated that treaty, but Gen. Miles
never fulfilled his promises.
“When we had made the treaty
Gen. Miles said to me: ‘Mv brother,
you have in your mind how you are
going to kill men, and other thoughts
of war; I want you to put that out of
your mind and change your thoughts
to peace.’
“Then I agreed and gave up my arms.
I said: T will quit the warpath and
live at peace hereafter.’
“Then Gen. Miles swept a spot of
ground clear with his hand and said: j
Your past deeds shall be wiped out
like this and you will start a new
life.’ ”

NERVOUS DEBILITY
A Scranton Woman Tells How Clr.
/Williams' Pink Pills Made Her
Well and Strong.
Nervous debility is the common name
for what the doctors term ueorasthouia.
It is characterized by mental depression,
fits of the “blues,” or melancholy, loss
of energy and spirits. The patient’s eyes
become dull, the pink fades from die
cheeks, the memory becomes defective so
that it is difficult to recall dates and
names at will. Some of these symptoms
only may be present or all of them. The
remedy lies in toning np the nervous
system and there is no medicine better
adapted for this purpose than hi.
Williams’ Pink Pills.
Mrs. Jane J. Davies, of No. 314 War
ren street, Scranton, Pa., says: “ S iam
years ago I became greatly reduced in
health and strength and my nervous
6ystem became so debilitated that I felt
wretched. I could not rest or sleep well
at night and woke up as weary and
languid in the morning as I was wh^n l
went to bed. My bead ached in tho
morning and often there was a pain in
my right side which was worse when I
s:it down. My nerves were on edge all
the time, every little noise bothered mo
and I was generally miserable. Then l
decided to try Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills
for Pale People, as my hnsbaud had taken
them with good results, and they did
wonders for me. Now I have no more
pain in my side, no more headaches, I
sleep well and feel strong and able to
do my work.”
Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills oared Mrs
Davies and they can do just as much
for other weak, pale, ailing men or
women who are slipping into a hopeless

Chandler's Joke on Conkling.
Roscoe Conkling was a capital boxer
and quite proud of his skill. On;*
evening after considerable banter he
induced Senator Chandler to "put oe
the gloves” with him. He played wit*
Chandler for a few rounds, much to
the discomfiture of the downeaster
The latter bided his time and some
time later quietly brought a profes
slonal pugilist to dinner where Conk
ling was a guest. In the course of
the evening “Mr. Smith” was induced
to engage in a boxing bout with Mr.
Conkling. The professional danced
around the senator, landing when and
where he wished, playing with him »»
he would with a punching bag. The
elegant New York senator was daze*’,
overwhelmed, humiliated, crushed
When he surrendered and called
enough, as he did at last, Senator
Chandler smiled blandly and presented
the pugilist in his true colors.
