Neuralgia
And Other
Pain.
All pain in any disease is
nerve pain, the result of a tur
bulent condition of the nerves.
The stabbing, lacerating,
darting, burning, agonizing
pain that cotnes from the prom
inent nerve branches, or sen
sory nerves, is neuralgia, and
is the “big brother" of all the
other pains.
Dr. Miles’ Anti-Pain Pills
rarely ever fail to relieve these
pains by soothing these larger
, nerves, and restoring their
tranquility.
Dr. Miles’ Anti-Pain Pills
leave no bad after-effects, and
*are a reliable remedy for every
kind of pain, such as headache,
backache, stomachache, sciat
ica, rheumatism and neuralgia.
They also relieve Dizziness,
Sleeplessness, Nervousness,
Car-Sickness, and Distress af
ter eating.
“For many years I have been a con
stant sufferer from neuralgia and
headache, and have never been able
to obtain any relief from various
headache powders and capsules, until
I tried Dr. Miles’ Anti-Pain Pills.
They always cure my headache in five
minutes time." FRED R. SWINGLEY.
Cashier 1st Nat. Bank, Atkinson, Neb.

Congressman William H. Jackson, of
Maryland, was engrossed in discussing
with a number of colleagues the deca
dence ,of oratory, says the New York Her
ald. “Sane people are not emotional,**
declared the congressman, “and the con
versational delivery of speech carries
as much weight with an intelligent
audience as does the effort of a declaim
er who indulges in brilliant periods with
an arm-swinging acompaniment.*’
“You are right," said a listener, "and

had about the same advantages and
prospects, but gossip declared that th«

Later it was learned from a friend in

BIG BEE RANCH IN ’FRISCO
Public School Principal of Coast City
Harvests a Third of a Ton
of Honey a Season.
There is a bee ranch with more than
1,000,000 bees in the heart of one of the
densest residence districts of San Fran
cisco. It is owned by Philip Prior, prin
cipal of a public school, and is in the
little back yard of his home. For ten
years he has kept his bees there, has
harvested about a third of a ton of
honey each season and has been at no
expense for food for his interesting and
Industrious pets. Although it is a dis
tance of two and one-half miles from
the Prior bee ranch to Golden Gate park,
the bees make the trip there, collect
loads of honey and get back to the hivs
in two minutes, making a bullet-llka
flight at the surprising rate of 150 miles
an hour. Mr. Prior has demonstrated
this by having an observer watch cer
tain bee-favored places In the park and
exactly timing the arrival there of bees
he purposely sprinkled with flour as
they issued from a hive. He has also
kept time on the absence of the whitened
bees.
BIG PROFIT IN BATHHOUSE
Average New York Seashore Resort
Receives Nearly $2,000 a Day
for Rooms Alone.
If you doubt that the nickel and quar
ter business doesn’t pay, consider the
money-making propensities of the aver
age seashore bathhouse around New
York, and make over your opinion. A
'representative bathing pavilion haa
1,500 bath compartments. It costs 2fl
cents to rent one. On a medium hoi
summer’s day some $800 are derived
from renting these rooms, for the com
partments are used In the course of th«
day by about 4,000 persons. Bathing
suits rent for 25 cents each. There
would be 8,000 of them for such a pavil
ion, which means $1,000 a day if half o!
them are rented once; and it Is fair tc
assume that three-fourths of the 4.00C
bathers pay five cents for the use of a
comb and brush—$150. A total of near
ly $2,000, to say nothing or the proceeds
from restaurant, bar, barber shop and
Indoor baths.
Italy’s Emigrants.
In the past 30 years Italy has sent
more than 2,000,000 persons to th«
United States, says the World's Work
A number of these have returned in t.hs
course of time, taking with them care
fully hoarded savings. A very Iargs
majority have remained in the United
States.

GREAT INVENTOR AT HOME.
C Visit to Thorn** A. Edison—Emm
sad Surroundings Not a Bit
Lika the Man.
To one who knows anything at
all of Edison, the first glimpse of
his house and its surroundings
comes with a shock of surprise,
■ays Woman’s Home Companion.
Who would have suspected
that this most democratic of men
would have chosen for himself en
vironments so essentially aristo
cratic? He lives in the heart of
a splendid park, patterned after
the English idea of vigorous er
elusiveness, its gates jealously
guarded by a lodgekeeper.
The interior of the house is in
keeping with the atmosphere of
the park without, quite unlike
Edison. The reception-room was
utterly different from what I ex
pected. The admirably draped
curtains, the tables and chairs ar
ranged wih an eye to artistic ef
fect, were not of Edison’s choos
ing. He cares too little for the
luxuries of life. This was his
wife’s work; it was all so wom
anly.
I heard quick footsteps behind
me, and Edison appeared, greet
ing me cordially and unaffectedly.
He was dressed in the queerest
of costumes—a long blouse that
reached t<f his heels, evidently of
his own pattern, serviceable and
work-worn.
“Come along into the labora
tory,” he said.
So I followed him thfpngh the
dining-room and the “den” into
the laboratory that he has fitted
op for himself in his home.
There I found his little boy, hi*
shirt-sleeves rolled up, his face
and hands smeared like hia
father’s. They had been making
various compounds of which lamp
black was the chief constituent.
“So you work on Sunday, too?*
Edison winked confidentially.
*You see, Mrs. Edison is sway. I
can do as I like.”
That brought back to me a story
that I had once heard from attend
of his—a story of how he works
night after night in his labora
j tory, utterly absorbed in hfs ex
periments. Midnight comes apd
goes, the gray dawn creeps in, and
still finds him bending over his
! test-tubes and retorts, until at
j last Mrs. Edison appears and
fondly leads him away to sleep.
I looked around the laboratory.
I This at least was his room. There
were Bunsen burners, mortars
and pestles, glass rods, watch
crystals, bottles of chemicals
I scattered about in bewildering
| profusion. I watched him and his
boy while they worked, the boy
listening with rapt attention to
the teachings of his father.
A FORTUNE IN A POTATO.
Tuber Raised by Scotchman and Sold
at High Price—Well-Named
the “Eldorado."
No potato ever gained so mueh
notoriety as Eldorado, raised by
the famous Scottish raiser Mr. A.
Findlay, of Markinch. The very
name of the variety, says the Gar
dener’s Magazine, was a stroke of
genius, for it is hardly possible
that the raiser, or those who had
the good fortune to secure some
of the first tubers distributed,
could have imagined that in so
short a time it would change
hands at such enormously high
prices.
Mr. George Massey, of Spalding,
was one of the very first to obtain
the stock, and from him Mr. Zach
ariah Gray, a well-known grower
at Everton, Sandy, purchased a
i stone weight for £20. This set the
ball rolling, and as Mr. Findlay
resolved not to farther distribute
Eldorado until the autumn of
1904, the demand for the small
stock available was doubled and
trebled, and so the prices rose.
Messrs. Dennis, the Covent Gar
den salesmen, and Messrs. I. Poad
& Sons, of York, possessed sup
plies, and the latter firm found n
purchase? of four pounds at £150
per pound. This determined them
to obtain further stock, and so at
the Smithfield club show a mem
ber of his firm found that Mr. Mas
sey had a limited stock for dispos
al and made him an offer of £1,000
for a stone. Mr. Massey refused,
as he wanted £1,500, but eventu
ally the bargain was struck at
£1.400, to the satisfaction of both
parties. Subsequently Mr. Mas
sey sold a relatively small quan
tity for £2,000, so that his original
transaction brought him a Yney
handsome return.
