ATTAGKEDJTHE HEART Awful Neu/algia Case Cured to Stay Cured by Dr. Williams' Fink Pills. Neuralgia in any form is painful hut when it attacks the heart iti.sfrequently fatal. Complicated with indigestion of a form that affected the vital organ it threatened serious consequences in an iu- Btance just reported. The case is t hat of Mr. F. L. Graves , of Pleasanthill , La. , who tells of his trouhle and cure as follows : " 1 traveled considerably , was exposed to all kindsqf weather and was irregular in my sleeping and eating. I suppose this was the cause of my sickness , at any rate , in May , 1905,1 had got so had that I was compelled to quit work and take to my hed. I had a good doctor and took his medicine faithfully hnt grew worse. I gave up hope of getting hotter and my neighhors thought I was surely going to die. "I had smothering spells that it is awful to recall. My heart fluttered and then seemed to cease heating. I could jiot lie on my left side at all. My hands and feet swelled and so did my face. After reading ahout Dr. Williams' Pink Piils in a newspaper I decided to try them and they suited my case exactly. Before long I could see an improvement and after taking a few hoxcs I was en tirely cured. I am glad to make this statement and wish it coild cause every bufferer to try Dr."Williams' Pink Pills , " Dr. Williams' Pink Pills do not simply deaden pain ; they euro the trouhle which causes the pain.

BREAD MADE OF TURNIPS. Excellent Substitute Fonml ul Time of "Wheat Cro ; Failure. What might in all seriousness he classed among the "lost arts" is the varied use of vegetables , says the Phil adelphia Ledger. The present genera tion eats them either raw or simply cooked , the most complex preparation being in the form of a pie or pudding. A century ago man multiplied their uses with a great deal of wisdom and ingenuity. From the Chinese radish was drawn a superior oil , excellent for table use as well as for light and med ical purposes. The parsnip furnished a delectable wine , while from the fro.sh starch of potatoes was made a good size , which by mixture with chalk form ed an excellent material for stucco workers. The most noteworthy use of vegeta bles , however , seems to have been in the making of bread. At a time of failure in the wheat crop it was demon strated -that good bread could be made from turnips. They are first prepared as a vegetable , cleaned and cooked in the usual way. When mashed a greater prt of the water is pressed out of them and the pulp then mixed with an equal quantity in weight of wheat meal. The dough is set to rise with yeast and then treated in the usual manner kneaded , made into loaves and baked. The bread is found to be a little sweeter than the regulation kind , but fully as light and white. If cut immediately it will taste of the turnip , but to no dis- : igrcble extent , while in twenty-four hours after baking all trace of tin : vegetable vill have disappeared. If turnips can be used for bread , why not parsnips , carrots , potatoes or any farinaceous tuber ? The potato pud ding and the sweet potato pie have very little taste of the respective roots from which they are made , and this quality should be still less noticeable in the case of bread. Photography lessons for prisoners , says the report of the prison commissioners for Scotland , have been attended with very successful results. A BUSY WOMAN Can Do the Work of 3 or 4 if Well Fed. An energetic young woman living just outside of New York writes : "I am at present doing all the house work of a dairy farm , caring for 2 chil dren , a vegetable and flower garden , a large numher of fowls , besides manag ing an extensive exchange business through the mails and pursuing my reg ular avocation as a writer for several newspapers and magazines ( designing fancy work for the latter ) and all the energy and ability to do this I owe to Grape-Nuts food. "It was not always so , and a year ngo when the shock of my nursing ba by's death utterly prostrated me and deranged my stomach and nerves so that I could not assimilate as much as a mouthful of solid food , and was'in even worse condition mentally , he would have been a rash prophet who would have predicted that it ever would [ be so. "Prior to this great grief I had suf fered for years with impaired digestion , insomnia , agonizing cramps in the .stomach , pain in the side , constipation , ! ; and other bowel derangements , all these were familiar to my daily life. Medi cines gave me no relief nothing did , until a few mouths ago , at a friend's suggestion , I began to use Grape-Nuts food , and subsequently gave up coffee entirely and adopted I'ostuin Food Cof fee at all my meals. "To-day I am free from all the trou ; bles I have enumerated. My digestion is simply perfect , I assimilate my food | wit bout the least distress , enjoy sweet , restful sleep , and have a buoyant feelIng - Ing of pleasure in my varied duties. ' In fact , I am a new woman. , entirely \uadc over , and I repeat , I owe it all to Grape-Nuts and Postum Coffee. " ( Name given by Postum Co. , Battle ' Creek , Mich. ! There's n reason.

N instructive experiment was made a few days ago > demonstrate the relative inde structibility of the steel railway car. A col lision was arranged and the cars survived the force of an impact delivered at a speed ] of forty miles an hour. Of course , an actual collision under ordinary conditions might have produced different results , but the experiment proved two things at least : First , that the steel car will bear a tremendous shock without breaking up , and second end , that it presents far less inflammable surface to feed the fire that so frequently follows in the wake of a wreck. The Erie Railway Company has built a steel car for the accommodation of mail clerks , whose usual position in the first section of an express train is almost as perilous as that of tlie fireman and the engineer in the cab. Other railway con.panies are quite likely to follow the Erie's example at once , and in the course of time we will see the steel car employed as universally on trunk lines as it is to-day in the New York subway. The change will greatly reduce the loss of life annually cred ited to collisions , and while the initial expense to the transportation companies will be heavy they will derive a profit from the longer life and the greater structural stability of the steel car aivl also from the reduction in the number of damage suit.- . de to accidents. The steel car cannot be made si ran : : enough tr > resist perfectly the strain of all collisions , but it will not telescope as read ily as the wooden car , and while it may crumple some what under terrific pi-esfure. it cannot splinter. These two advantages make ultimate adoption everywhere a certainty. Brooklyn I njrle. r ; nc.i "j IXE l ; htic : Iir.s 1 ecu cosparel : to the na tional > p ; IT of Spain bull fighting.

But prize fighting is no more essential to a proper training in boxing than are poolrooms necessary to a development of the speed powers of our hordes. Chicago Post. FOLLIES OF FOOLISH HIC1-I. T i * exceedingly difficult to comprehend the moral and n.cntal make-up of that clns-s of men and women who compose the so-called fashionable ? ot in our larger American cities , and who in clays like these can find no higher or saner purpose for the expendi ture of their time and money than in feedIng - Ing their vanities and indulging their pampered appe tites. With millions dying of starvation in Russia , with hordes of men and women desperate with hunger and privation inarching through the streets of London , with a thousand appeals for help and service arising from "What's this , madameV What's this ? " exclaimed the genial Pa Jones , in a shoutful voice , as he suddenly looked up from the newspaper that he was \ reading and cast a searchlight glare at Ma. "What have j'ou and your dear mother been doing ? What kind of a Smith game have you been playing ? Will you be good enough to explain ? Will you be sweet enough to prove an alibi ? Have you da rod " "What in the world arc you talking about , Henry ? " broke in Ma , with feign ed surprise. "What is the cause of four agitation ? One might think that 5:011 had been finned by a wasp ! One might think " "What am I talking about , Mrs. Tones ? What am I talking about , angel ivife ? " rejoined the heated Pa. adding a few extra , volts to his elocution. "What do you suppose I am talking about ? Do I sound as if I was singing sweet songs of praise ? Do you imagine for one moment that 1 would touch off the Benediction with dynamite ? Not jn your guilty conscience , darling ! Not sn your guilty conscience ! I am chirpIng - Ing about a paragraph in this'paper ! am barking about an item in the so ciety dope which says that .Miss Sis lones will make her debut next week it a'reception given by hrr parents.

What does t mean ? Have you " "It means just what it says , you lowling heathen ! " interrupted Ma , a little pettishly. "It means that Sis is ofng to have her coming-out party , md " "Who gave jou permission to have a larty , Mrs. .Tones ? Who gave you por- nission to have a party ? " thundered Lhe indignant Pa , as he ragefully gy rated around the room. "Who told you that you could blow yourself ? Since tvhen have you assumed to run things iround here ? How long have you been the Uncle Joe Cannon of this house ? I lemand to know why I wasn't con sulted ! I demand to know why I cvery quarter of our own land , what but a heart incrusted - crusted with selfishness and filled with greed and foolish pride could remain obdurate and unresponsive ! Such must have been the character of the rich and fashion able out in Louisville , Ky. , who gave a birthday lunch- con to a pet dog the'other day , with all the accompani ments of a high-class social function. The beast was the guest of honor , and around the board , we are informed , "were persons prominent in society. " An elaborate menu was provided , and the dog was served from a silver plat ter. Of course no blame can be attached to the dog , who aparently had the wisest head of all engaged in this silly business , but as to the other creatures who sur rounded "the board , " there can hardly be but one opin ion among intelligent and conscientious men and women. Their proper status , we should say , was several grades below that of the dog. It is precisely such exhibitions as these , and such a use of wealth , that furnish ample fuel to the anarchist , and other enemies of the existing social order.1 Leslie's Weekly. KILLED BY EXPOSUB3. HEN it is said that McCall died of a broken heart , the speech is , of course , figurative. He died of over-taxation of his vital organs , principally his nervous system , of which his brain was so essentially the chief. The same strain under which he suffered was placed upon Hyde and on Alexander , and even on Chauncey Depew. Possibly McCall was the more sensitive , probably the more out of order physically , and therefore the more subject to the effects of the strain. Hyde is off in Europe enjoying himself , while poor old McCall lies in his coffin. It is unfortunate" for the individual , but no cue with a sense of justice would wish to undo the good accomplished by the exposures , just because one rather prominent life has been sacri ficed by the revolution. War is hell , said Sherman. So war on corporate wealth , as represented in the Ilydes , the McCalls , the Rockefellers , and that crowd , means terrible suffering to some of the rich , who have caused so muoh suffering to many of the poor. The ordinary robber goes to the penitentiary , and we all say the punishment is the natural result of his conduct. So McCall dies , Hyde be comes a fugitive , and others of the ilk floe in alarm at the rising tide of public indignation , and no one ought to want to save them from the just consequences of their misdeeds. McCall died of a broken heart yes , just as many another person , who has been exposed. Indianapo lis Sun. ITATUPvALIZATIOII ABUSES. N attempt is being made at this session of Congress to secure legislation to prevent for eigners becoming citizens until they have re sided here at least five years. This is not regarded as a party political question , be cause leaders of both Republican and Demo cratic parties have been guilty of making illegal votes out of emigrant material , but leaders of both parties recognize the necessity of a reform measure. As many as thirty thousand emigrants land in this country in a single day. Among such numbers there are a great many men old enough to vote , and shrewd enough to follow instructions given them by the politicians who have something at stake. According to recent investiga tions these newly landed emigrants are rounded up for election and given the franchise often before they have boon in the country for a year , sometimes only a few weeks. Such votes count just the same as yours. Farm , Field and Fireside. wasn't invited to the committee meet ing !

You weren't consult ed because we knew that you would start to cackle and keep it up until Peary discovered the North Pole ! Be sides , it is none of your business , and "That's all right , Mary ! That's all right , little girl ! " interposed Pa , in a honeyed voice , as a sudden look of great joy overspread his features. "Don't say another word ! The old man was only kidding you ! He was just giving you a game of josh to see if you would get hot in the collar ! Now then , run along and finish your preparations for the party , and if there is anything more in the money or bouquet line that you want you can count on your Uncle Henry to deliver the goods every time ! " With this Pa Jones affectionately kissed the amazed Ma. patted little Fide on the head , and then went to his den , where lie spent the next two hours mer rily chuckling to himself. The great event finally arrived , and even as the tuneful orchestra was play ing the danceful strains of a glide waltz , the servant at the door impres sively announced : "Cousin Hez and Cousin Maria !

"You contemptible brute ! You in sufferable scoundrel ! " shouted the en raged Ma , with blazing eyes when all was once more quiet in the happy home of the Jones Family. "How dared you do such an atrocious trick as that ? How dared you invite " "Don't get excited , sweetheart ! Don't get excited ! " was the exasperating re sponse of the happy Pa. "There's no use crying over spilled milk , but the next time be wise enough to ask your Uncle Henry to help you carry the jug' " la Just one second the battle was in full bloom , and the s.un was peeping over the Eastern hills before Ma was fully satisfied that Pa laiew what she thought of him. CHANGES IN FISH HABITAT. Work , of the UiIIyI Statc.t llurean Although the results of introducing certain fishes of the eastern seaboard into western waters have been often mentioned in the reports of the com missioner of fisheries , reference should again be made to the increasing abun dance of the shad and the striped bass on tiie Pacific coast. The yearly catch of these lish for market at this time is upward of 4,000,000 pounds , for which the fishermen receive nearly $ :200OCO. The reported aggregate sales' o" the two species to the end of the cal endar year 1904 were 2j,400COO ( pounds , with a value of ? 9o.j,000 at the prices actually paid to the fishermen. By the way of reciprocity In past years experiments have been made upon a rather extensive scale to acclimate the chinook salmon on the Atlantic coast , large numbers of eggs having been transported across the continent , hatched and distributed in waters deemed suitable for the purpose. No results /appear to have followed these efforts and it is probable that the north western rivers are no longer capable of sustaining such a large , vigorous spe cies. It has , therefore , boon deter mined to attempt the introduction of other west coast salmon , particularly the silver salmon tuid the humpback salmon. & The excellent steelhead trout of the Pacific coast , introduced into Lake Su perior about ten years ago. appear to have become firmly established in the lake and its tributaries and has now be gun to figure In the commercial fisher ies. Some eggs have been taken from wild fish and hatched at the Duluth station. Another noteworthy case of acclimat ization in Lake Superior is that of the bluefin or blackfin whitefish , introduced from Lake Michigan. This fish has now become exceedingly abundant and many millions of pounds have been caught and soiil by the fishermen. Its e gs are now regularly collected and incubated at the Duluth hatchery. INDIAN DEVELOPMENT. .More than the "Whites in an Kifual Time. President Roosevelt has appointed a Pottawatomle Indian named Paul Knapp to a cadetship at West Point. lie is 1 ! ) years of age , well educated , has a good record as a football player , and is expected to give credit to his race at the country's big military school. Of course the race prejudice which has impeded negroes at that in stitution does not operate against In dians. Cadet Knapp will not run against any social barrier. The Indian is coining to the front these days , says Leslie's Weekly. There are 270,000 of them in the countryOf the 170,000 who are outside of the Five Civilized Tribes of the Indian Territory and outside of the State of New York , 30,000 are attending school. Civilized clothes are worn wholly by 120,000 of these 170,000 Indians , and are worn partly by 30,000 more ; four-fifths of these reside in dwelling nouses of civi lized style ; 70,000 talk English enough for ordinary purposes , and most of these can read it ; and 40.000 are mem bers of churches. Practically all the members of the Five Tribes talk Eng lish , all wear civilized clothes , all have good schools , and all live in dwelling houses. The same is true of the re\v thousand Indians in New York. Since 1S77 , when the government be gan its work of educating and prepar ing them for citizenship , the Indians have made far more progress than the whites ever did in any equal time. The Cherokees , Choctaws , Chickasaws , Creeks and Seminoles have been gov erning themselves for two-thirds of a century. They will do the same thing on a larger field and under somewhaj > different conditions in the coming State of Oklahoma. Citizenship is near at hand for all the Indians , and with the tuition which they are receiving and under the incentives whih are offered to thorn , they will prbably make a * good use of it as the average white men have done. IIoiue-Grovrn Tea. "This year 12,000 pounds of choice tea will be shipped from what is , at present , the only tea farm in the west ern hemisphere , " says Freeman Tilden in his article , "Great Chance for Tea Growers , " in the Technical World Mag azine. "This farm is at Sumnierville , S. C. In the face of difficulties that at times seemed insurmountable , but on the other hand , with kindly assistance of the United States government , the Sumnierville tea farm has grown to a point where it can offer serious compe tition with the best grades of tea ship ped from China. India , Formosa or Java. But , barring the question of la bor , the finest tea can be successfully grown at home , and there is nothing that gladdens the heart of an American more than the discovery that he can enter into competition in a field hither to denied him.

In the mediral world it is a generally ; .accepted fact that every person bear ! .physical indications of his prospects of , .long life. A long-lived person may bo distinguished from a short-lived person at sight. In many instances a physi cian may look at the hand of a patient and tell whether he. will live or die , says the New York Herald. The primary cpndition of longevity are that the heart , lungs and digestive organs as well as the brain , should bo large. If these organs are large the trunk will be long and the limbs com paratively short. The person will ap pear tall in sitting and short in stand ing. The hand will have a long and somewhat heavy palm and short fin gers. gers.The The brain will be deeply seated , as shown by the orifice of the car being low. The blue hazel or brown hazel eye , as showing an intermission of temperament , is a favorable indication. The nostrils , if large , open and free Indicate large lungs. A pinched and half-closed nostril indicates small or weak lungs. These are general points of distinc tion , but. of course , subject to the usual individual exceptions. W. L.
