Rejects "Undiscovered Merit" I have never known a case of un discovered merit and I have never known a case where merit failed to achieve success. I have known many men gifted with great ability who failed miserably in life, but in every instance the failure arose from neg lect to develop natural talent into trained capacity. Bourke Cockran.

Bamberg, Ger many, who had published an unappre ;iatlve account of their exploits, some burglars entered his house and smashed everything on the premises. MACHINERY. The Machine which skims tho cream from milk does not lose a drop, while the old skimming process was crude and wasteful. Washing ma chines, which will relieve woman of the drudgery of cleaning clothes have not proved an encouraging success up to date, but when it comes to manufac turing exclusively by machinery with out the touch of human hands, there is nothing more interesting than the history of Pilisbury's Vitos the best breakfast food in the market to-day. The white heart of the wheat ker nel is cut out by steel rolls, conveyed to sterilizers, and then packed in two pound, air-tight packages (this is the whole story), all by polished steel ap pliances, no handling, no cooking, no coloring, no adulteration, just the white heart of the wheat berry steril ized, nothing added, nothing taken away. Pilfsbury's Vitos is therefore a healthful, substantial breakfast dish, actually the "Meat of the Wheat" Price 15c.

The voortrekkers had a fine sense of the poetry of things. Up in the Transvaal there is a little place which rejoices in the name of Wanch teenbeitjebeideboschfontein. It Is a name which speaks of leisure; whose gentle invitation to the thirsty trav eler to rest a little by the brook be neath the cool shode of the tree calls up at once the thought of a green oasis in a dry and barren land. Cape, town Times. Hungarian Geese. The plans of Hungary are well adapted for the raising of geese, and travelers in that country are often entertained by seeing, from passing trains, great flocks of geese feeding in the fields and watched by gooseherds. So many feathers are yielded by these geese that four "bed-feather markets" are held annually at Buda-Pesth, and at each market from 600,000 pounds to 700,000 pounds of bed feathers aro placed on sale. Decay of Individuality. The decay of individuality in Eng land, says the London Graphic, is a most curious circumstance, and it is this that is injuring our literature and art There is scarcely a writer who iares to strike out In a new line; his work would probably be rejected, how ever good it was. It is the same with art. What ordinary Englishman now ventures even to dress differently front those about him COFFEE NEURALGIA. Leaves When You Quit and Use Pos turn. A lady who unconsciously drifted into nervous prostration brought on by coffee, says: "I have been a coffee drinker all my life, and used it regularly, three times a day. "A year or two ago I became sub ject to nervous neuralgia, attacks of nervous headache and general ner vous prostration which not only in capacitated me for doing my house work, but frequently made it neces sary for me to remain hi a dark room for two or three days at a time. "I employed several good doctors, one after the other, but none of them was able to give me permanent relief. "Eight months ago a friend sug gested that perhaps coffee was the cause of my troubles and that I try Postum Food Coffee and give up the old kind. I am glad I took her advice, for my health has been entirely re stored. I have no more neuralgia, nor have I had one solitary headache in all these eight months. No more of my days are wasted in solitary con finement in a dark room. I do all my own work with ease. The flesh that I lost during the years of my nervous prostration has come back to me during these months, and I am once more a happy, healthy woman. I en close a list of names of friends who can vouch for the truth of the state ment" Name given by Postum Co, Battle Creek, Mich. There's a reason. Ten days' trial leaving off coffee aid using Postum la sufficleafc AH THIN BLOOD-WEAK NERVES Om FaHowa the Other, Or. Wil liams' Pink Pills Quickly Cure Both. The steady use of a particular set of Muscles tends to chronic fatigue, which produces faulty or difficult motion, trembling, cramps and even paralysis. Writers, telegraphers, tailors and seam stresses are among the classes most threatened in this way with the loss o! their power to earn a living. The fol lowing instance shows that nerve powet may be recovered after it seems entirely lost, if the right means are taken. Mrs. O. S. Blacksten, of No. 684 North Bow man street, Mansfield, Ohio, cays : "For years my hands would become so numb at times that I would- drop anything I attempted to lift. Letei they became so bad that I could not sew any longer, and at last I could scarcely do anything at all with my hands. At night the pricking sensations wonld couie on worse than ever, and my hands and arms would pain so that I dreaded to go to bed. My f am ily doctor gave me some nerve tablets. They helped me a little, but only for a short time after I had taken them and if I happened to be without them for a day or two I would be as bad as ever or even worse. Family I got a box of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and began to take tnem. The resnlt was surprising. By the time I had taken the last pill in my first box I could see a gain. Thanks to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, lam now all right I can sleep undisturbed by pain, and for two years I have been as well as ever." Dr. Williams Pink Pills feed the nerves by making new, rich blood aud in this way have cured nervous diseases of every description from simple rest lessness to paralysis. They have ban ished the tortures of neuralgia, the weakness of nervous prostration, the disability and awful pain of locomotor ataxia. They are sold by all druggists or direct by the Dr. Williams Medicine Company, Schenectady, N. Y. Look to Future Lumber Supply. The rules and 'regulations adopted by a large lumber comapny in Louis iana promise to so cut its timber that it will never be exhausted, only the surplus timber being cut and steps being taken to plant all cleared areas in young trees, say that there will al ways be a supply for the mills, and it would be well if this policy were generally pursued as a measure of pro tection against inadequate supply in the future. Dead Reckoning. Dead reckoning is a term used in navagation to express the estimation that is made of a ship's place without having recourse to observation of the celestial bodies. It is made by observ ing the way she makes by the log. and the course on which she has been stered, making allowance for drift leewway tc. Mahogany Stain. A good serviceable mahogany stain may be made as follows. Boil 1-2 lb. madder and 2 oz. logwood chips in 1 gallon of water, and apply while hot When dry go over with a solution of 2 drachms pearl ash to 1 quart of wat er. The color can be varied by using different strengths of the solution. An Honest Opinion. Mineral, Idaho, Oct. 16th. (Spe cial.) That a sure cur,e has been dis covered for those sciatic pains that make so many lives miserable is the firm opinion of Mr. D. S. Colson, a well-known resident of this place, and he does not hesitate to say that cure Is Dodd's Kidney Pills. The reason Mr. Colson is so firm in his opinion is that he had those terrible pains and Is cured. Speaking of the matter he says: "I am only too happy to say Dodd's Kidney Pills have done me lots of good. I had awful pains in my hip so I could hardly walk. Dodd's Kidney Pills stopped it entirely. I think they are a grand medicine." All Sciatic and Rheumatic pains are caused by Uric Acid in the blood. Dodd's Kidney Pills make healthy kid neys and healthy kidneys strain all the Uric Acid out of the blood. With the cause removed there can be no Rheumatism or Sciatica. We Have Often Wondered. Why Is it that when you tell a girl she has pretty hair she always says she just had it washed the other day and hasn't been able to do a thing with it since? Cleveland Leader. BABY'S AWFUL ECZEMA. Face Like Raw Beef Thought She Would Lose Her Ear Healed Without a Blemish Moth er Thanks Cuticura. "My little girl had eczema very bad when she was ten months old. I thought she would lose her right ear. It had turned black, and her face was like a piece of raw meat, and very sore. It would bleed when I washed her, and I had to keep cloths on it day and night There was not a clear spot on her face when I began using Cuticura Soap and Ointment and now It is completely healed, without scar or blemish, which is more than I had hoped for.

NEBRASKA STRUCK IICH DIGCINCS IN A NEVADA MINE COLUMBUS Nearly twenty years ago John Miller, then a young man, grew tired of farming in Platte county and started out to make a fortune in some of the western gold fields.

In less tha ntwo weeks he made a strike and sold his claim for 930,00 cash and is now home again re newing old acquaintances. FEVER AT INSANE HOSPITAL Eighteen Cases of Typhoid at Insti tute at the Present Time LINCOLN The appeal of Superin tendent Green of the Lincoln hospital for the insane to the State Board of Public Lands and Buildings for as sistance disclosed the fact that the institution has a serious epidemic of typhoid fever which has infected nine teen persons, who are now isolated, with the possibility that many more of the 600 patients may have received the bacilli into their systems. Dr. Greene said that it is difficult to de termine just how wide-spread the ravages of the disease will be because of the fact that it takes two weeks for the incubation of the bacilli, when once they have entered the human system. The state board has authoriz ed the use of every possible means in fighting the disease. SOME SERIOUS CHARGES AGAINST A WOMAN LINCOLN Sensational charges have been filed against Mrs. Elmer J.

The daughter of Russell is also mentioned in the affidavits. FOUND DEAD UNDER HIS WAGON Faarmer is Killed in Accident Which No One Sees. FREMONT John D.
