Tired
Nervous
When you feel languid, tired,
nervous and irritable, your vi
tality is low—your supply of
nerve energy exhausted, and
your system running down for
lack of power,
The organs of the body are
working poorly, or not at all,
and you are not getting the
nourishment needed. This soon
impoverishes the blood and in
stead of throwing off the im
purities, distributes it all
through the body. This brings
disease and misery.
Feed the nerves with Dr.
Miles’ Nervine, a nerve food, a
nerve medicine, that nourishes
and strengthens the nerves, and
see how quickly you will get
strong and vigorous.
"My wife suffered with nervousness
previous to a recent attack of typhoid
L fever, but after her recovery from the
fever, she was much worse, and could
^—hardly control herself being exceed
ingly nervous when the least excited.
She was very restless at night, and
never had a good night's rest. She
also suffered much from nervous head
ache. Dr. Miles’ Nervine was recom
mended by a friend. After the first
three doses she had a goo<J night’s
rest, and at the end of the first week’s
treatment she was wonderfully im
proved. Continued use of Nervine has
- completed her entire cure.”

ENGLISHMAN l^OTJLD DIG HOLE
TWELVE MILES DEEP.
Would Solve Many Questions Un
known to the Scientific World—
Estimated Cost $25,000,000
and to Take 85 Years.
Experiments to be tried in the Wash
ington monument by officers of the geo
logical survey to try to determine th«
compressiveness of the earth’s mass,
iespread interest in
as it does on
ached by
England,
e earth,
food for
that to sink
-->uld cost |25,000,
000, and* fiat It would require 85 years
to accomplish it. This shaft, cut down
Into the earth, would represent the
equivalent of a hole one foot deep in a
mass 666 feet thick. It would solve
many questions that the scientific knowl
edge of the world has left unanswered,
yet it would investigate only the crust
and leave thousands of miles of the in
terior mass still untouched.
The amount of compression at the
globe’s center should, to some extent at
least, define the character of the mass
of which It is formed. It is argued that
the great mass of the interior of the earth
is solid. Against the contention that
the planet, under a crust 25 miles thick,
is a mass of fiery liquid is arrayed the
fact of the known density of the globe
That density in the earth’s entirety 1«
about 5.6 times the density of the water
that covers three-quarters of the sur
face.
The assumption of a comparatively
thin crust requires, according to Sir
William Thompson, that this crust
should have a rigidity possessed by no
l-dAnrn niiknfenfin Thft ailtl AVAvtfl SIT nil A
strain upon the substance of the earth
that the planet could not maintain its
shape as it does, he maintains, unless the
supposed crust, were at least 2,000 or
2,500 miles in thickness.
There is a gradual increase in the tem
perature while penetrating the surface
of the crust. This increase in some lo
calities is as rapid as one degree for each
56 feet of descent; in others one degree
for 75 to 85 feet.
In the Comstock silver mines of Ne
vada, at a depth of 3,065 feet, water has
a temperature of 170 degrees, Fahren
heit. The deepest excavations in the
earth are at the Calumet and Hecla cop
per mines in Michigan, where the longest
perpendicular shaft goes down 4,900
feet, while one of the standing shafts
is njore than 8,000 feet in length.
There are in these mines 250 miles of
lateral galleries. Colossal engines are
reouired to ventilate the immense sub
terranean city and to keep the tempera
ture endurable in the lower levels. All
deep mine borings prove how stupend
ously difficult would be the task of de
scending below the mile level. •
At the lowest rate of increase in the
temperature in penetrating the earth, the
heat at the depth suggested by Mr. Par
sons, 12 miles down, would be 800 de
grees Fahrenheit. This heat, though far
from the fusing point of wrought iron,
(3,280 degrees), would render the use
of tools, even if the lower borings of the
shaft were constructed as they are In oil
wells, a difficult process. It would defy
j the most colossal scheme of artificial re
j frigeration to render such depths avail
j ible for entrance by human beings.
N considerations of commercial ben
; eflt enter into the plans of Mr. Parsons
in suggesting the 12-mile boring into the
crust of the earth. It is a scheme purely
it the interest of scientific knowledge
ODD WILL OF RICH MAN.
Nephew Will Inherit Fortune from
Uncle After Serving Three
Tears as a Soldier.
“That he shall serve at least one full
i term of not less than three years in
! ♦he ranks of the,United States army,
! at the expiration of which, if his dis
j charge shall read: ‘Service honest and
faithful, character excellent,’ and shall
have reached the grade of a noncommis
sioned officer and bring to the executors
I herewith appoint a letter of com
mendation from the officer under whom
he served, I bequeath to the said George
I n Travia tLi a aum $ 1 fl rtAfl Lnantinnr
! that, after such service, he will have
had enough experience of the world and
disciplinary training to insure the
proper disposal of what has taken me a
lifetime to accumulate.”
Such are the terms of the will of the
late S. Houston, a wealthy man of Chi
cago, made to his nephew, George 0.
Travis, a telegraph operator of Okla
homa. The other day the young man
became of age and appeared at the Unit
ed States army recruiting office and en
listed for the purpose of carrying out
the dying request of his uncle.
Mr. Houston was an old soldier, hav
ing served in the civil war in the Fourth
United States artillery. Unable to con
tinue an army career. Houston, having
no sons of his own, was determined that
his next of kin, his nephew, should be
come a soldier.
Young Travis said it was not neces
| sary for his uncle to make that clause
; in his will which makes service in the
j United States army compulsory for him,
j as he had always intended to enter the
i army as soon as he was 21.
A Hole with a Future.
An English engineer proposes to find

He will do this by digging a hole 12 miles

I BERRIES FOR MARKET.
Lfi to Raise Then, Provided the
Crop le Disposed Of in the Rla>ht
Way and Place.
Having been naked, by a farmer sub
scriber, if it will pay to grow berries
for market, in reply I will say "yes”—
if the business is managed right, and
the crop disposed of in the right way
and place. A good many of our
towns are not properly supplied with
berries; what they get if any, are
second class—the overflow or refuse
from the cities, where the market is
often glutted. The commission men
send circulars out before the berries
are ripe, giving prices of berries shipped
from the south, inducing many home
growers to ship. By the time their ber
rtee get ripe the demand is supplied,
prices drop, and the berries being a per
ishable product, have to be sold for
what they will bring.
My advice is to grow berries for local
market towns that are not well supplied.
Such places can be found in the west;
land can be bought for less than half
that close to large cities, pickers are
cheap, and, as a rule, more reliable
Berries that get too ripe on account of
rain, and which will not do taship, can
be sold in the home market; all the
rough handling of the railroad men,
shipping expenses, commissions, etc.,
are saved, al3o crates and boxes. Then
when consumers get fresh, wholesome,
home grown berries, they often get twice
as many, and the growers in the local
market often can regulate the price.
It is a mistake to plant too large an
acreage We have to pay two cents a
quart for pickers; one cent for straw
berries and blackberries and one and
one-half to two cents for raspberries.
The pickers can make good wages. I
have had boys and girls under 16 years
old make a dollar a day. I, 18 years
ago, sold as high as $40 worth of straw
berries in a day. I remember selling
five dollars worth of raspberries from
one picking off one row the length of ten
acres. Blackberries, 12 or more years
ago, were not profitable, as so many
grew wild; but of late years, growing
blackberries has become more profitable

PROTECTION FOR PLANTS.
a Simple Sr.tem Which WTTI Par *o*
Itself In the Coarse of s
Staple Week.
Market gardeners, and even the mak
er of a kitchen garden, feel the need of
some wholesale means of protecting
newly set plants from the drying effects
of sun or air. A cloudy day is usually
taken for transplanting, but the sun
may come out with scorching heat at
any moment, and much harm be donate
unshaded plants. Make a reel, as shown
in thp accompanying Illustration, and a
lot of wire supports, using No. 12 wire
Make the reel roller and the wire sup
ports about a foot wide.

a yard wide, and as long as the rows of
plants over which It is to be used. The
cloth can be divided into three strips,
each strip being tacked at ons end to a
reetl, and at the other end to a 15-lnch
rod of wpod. Stick the sides of the reel
Into tbe earth at one end of the row with
wire supports at intervals along the row,
and pull the cloth along over the plants,
fastening the end at the last wire sup
port, as shown In the cut. Occasionally
slip a wire support down over the cloth
to keep the latter from blowing oft the
wire supports below It. Wind up the
cloth on the reel when the plants no
longer need cover. — Orange Judd

Set a green hand to pruning trees,

years to heal, and which, If not carefully
protected from the weather, will cause
such decay as to destroy the tree. To
