Your Life
Current.
The power that gives you
life and motion is the nerve
force, or nerve fluid, located in
the nerve cells of the brain,
and sent out through the
nerves to the various organs.
If you are tired, nervous,
irritable, cannot sleep; have
headache, feel stuffy, dull and
melancholy, or have neuralgia,
rheumatism, backache, peri
odical pains, indigestion, dys
pepsia. stomach trouble, or the
kidneys and liver are inactive,
your life-current is weak.
Power-producing fuel is need
ed ; something to increase nerve
energy—strengthen the nerves.
Dr. Miles’ Restorative Ner
vine is the fuel you need. It
, feeds the nerves, produces nerve
force, and restores vitality.
"When I began taking Dr. Miles’
Restorative Nervine and Anti-Pain
Pills I was confined to my bed. I
* had severe nervous spells, the result
of two years illness with malaria. I
gradually grew so weak that X was
unable to sit up. The spells would
commence with cold chills, and I
would become weak and almost help
less. My circulation was poor. I
had doctored right along but grew
weaker and weaker. The Nervine
seemed to strengthen me right away
and my circulation was better. I have
taken in all seven bottles of the
Nervine, and I am entirely well."

MILE-A-MINUTE WATER WDE
Kotor Boat Invented by Frenchman
Goes at Express Train
Speed.
Among the many interesting experi
ments with motor boats, says the Lon
don Mail, perhaps the most pictur
esque were those on the Seine at
Puteaux, when Compte de Lambert,
in conjunction with Messrs. De Dion
and Bouton, brought out their bateau
glisseur, or gilding boat. It is also
called a hydroplane, and that name is
real^y^^^^w^rt its construction.
'pa ia
iis, and
raise the
kilometers, or
ia mnormi1 nuar, or a speed that is
not exceeded by the use of a 40-horse
power motor.
The boat itself is 36 feet long and
nine feet wide. To the bottom of the
boat are affixed five planes or fins.
When the boat is stationary these fins
hang vertically in the water. They
are hinged, however, and are all under
control of the driver. When the mo
tor is set in motion and the boat
begins to move these planes, begin
ning at the bow, are gradually given
a backward angle. The boat rises in
the water and then gradually rests
upon It, with the stern of the boat
only immersed. The speed increases,
and the boat, following the Inclination
of the planes, glides along the surface
of the water Just as an aeroplane
glides on the air, and with not much
more rssistance.
It is confidently expected that with
an increased horse-power motor the
hydroplane will reach a speed of 60
miles an hour.
TO AUCTION QUEEN’S GOODS
g.11 Furniture and Treasures of Isa
bella of Spain Except Personal
Jewels to Go Under Hammer.
It has been decided that the personal
Jewels of the late Queen Isabella of
Spain, who for many years lived in
Paris, will not be sold as expected.
The casket containing the precious
stones, necklaces, etc., has been pro
visionally deposited at a bank, and as
soon as the affairs of the late queen are
cleared up and the contents of her pal
ace disposed of the Comte; Quiaqul,
who has charge of all these matters,
will distribute the jewels among the
royal family of Spain.
On the other hand, the furniture, ob
jects of art and all the other treasures
in the Palais de Castillo, Queen Isa
bella’s home in the Avenue Kleber, op
posite the United States embassy, will
be sold at public auction.
The Marquis de Cuellar has gone to
San Sebastian to consult King Alfon
so’s wishes on the subject and the auc
tion will probably take place early In
the autumn. The catalogue is being
prepared.
It is well known that the contents of
the Palais de Castille are marvels of
beauty and worth and constitute a veri
table museum. Several offers have
been made for the palace itself and the
surrounding gardens, but nothing defi
nite has yet been accepted. The estate
covers 4,600 square yards of land,
valued at $160 to $200 a yard.
HAS FEW TRADE FACILITIES
Mobile Merchant Experiences Diffi
culties in Getting Goods to Cap
ital of Guatemala.
A Mobile merchant sold some cotton
goods not long ago to be delivered at
Guatemala City. Within 300 feet of his
warehouse a steamer was loading for
Puerto Barrios, whence runs a railway
to within 60 miles of the Guatamalan
capital. To reach the latter the goods
would have to be packed over the moun
tains by Indians or on muleback. The
merchant found it cheaper to ship by
way of San Francisco, thence by boat to
san Jose, Guatamala, and to the cap
ital by rail. New Orleans, terminus of
the Southern Pacific, is almost next door
to Mobile. New York, however, en
ioyed a cheaper rate because there was
competition with the routes across the
Atlantic and thence round Cape Horn.
So the goods were sent by boat to New
York, thence by boat back to New Or
leans, and thence on their way, going
nearly 10,000 miles instead of 1,100 by
the Puerto Barrios route. This inabil
ity to get at the west coast markets has
done much to keep American goods out
of them. Guatamala has now arranged
for the speedy completion of the rail
way from the Caribbean to the capital,
and a cheap direct route will thus be
opened.
Leap Years in Twentieth Century.
The greatest possible number of leap
years will occur in the twentieth cen
tury, the year 1904 being the first one,
and every fourth year following up to
and including 2000. In the same century
February will three times have five Sun
ays—in 1920, 194!?.,1976.
Visiting in Mexico.
In visiting Mexico one suould have
good letters of introduction. No mat
ter what may be your rank, it is expect
ed that you make all the advances.
A Lapland Crime.
In Lapland the crime which is pun
ished most severely, next to murder, Is
the marrying of a girl against the ex
press wish of her parents.
In the Same Business.
Most of the geniuses who formerly
invented fourteen-fifteen puzzles and
pig«-in-clover games have gone to in
venting new languages.
(
PEAR OF GERMAN INVASION
_
Not Warranted by Number of Kaiser>
Subjeots at Present Residing In
South America.
German migration to South
America, and especially to soma
of the southern states of Brazil,
is periodically a cause of com
ment and concern to some who
j think they see therein a sinister
scheme of imperial conquest,
i For two or three strong reasons,
i says the New York Tribune, such
I1 fears seem to us to be not well
founded. One such reason is
that the number of Germans in
Brazil is not, after all, ominous
ly large. The total population of
Braail, according to the censua
j of 1890, was 14,333,915. No later
1 census returns are available, bat
j careful estimates now place the
i total at more than 17,000,000, of
j which number less than 3,000,000
' are Indians and negroes, leaving
certainly more than 14,000,000
whites. Of these, in 1901, only
2,700,000 were immigrants, and
of the latter number only 300,000
were Germans.
The latest and highest esti
mate of the number of Germans
in Brazil is only 450,000, or a lit
tle over three per cent, of the
whole. Really, we cannot regard
that as a dangerous percentage.
Nor does it represent the largest
foreign element, by any means.
Portuguese immigrants into Bra
zil are twice as numerous, and
; Italians three times as numer
I ous, as the Germans. Nor yet
are these Germans so massed in
certain states as to form a ma
| jority of their population, as
| some have imagined. Germans
are most numerous in Rio
Grande do Sul, where there are
200,000 of them, but the whole
population of the state is 900,000,
so that the Germans are less
than one-fonrth. In Santa Catha
rina the Germans are 100,000 in a
total of 300,000, or one-third,
the largest proportion in any
state. In Parana they are 47,000
! in 280,000, and in Sao Paulo 30,
! 000 in 1,430,000.
It is pointed oat as ominous
that these Germans continue to
I ase their own /language, to pub
! lish newspapers in German and
to demand the official nse of that
language in courts and schools.
Well, the same may be said of
Germans in New York, and in
Milwaukee, and In many other
parts of the United States.
The conquest which Germany
hopes for in Brazil is not polit
ical, but commercial. The profit
she looks for in this migration of
her subjects is to be found in in
creased commerce. In that Ger
many reckons shrewdly. Every
shipload of Germans landed in
Brazil creates a demand for
many shiploads of German mdb
ufactured goods. Every so-called
German colony in Brazil means
a market for German trade.
Upon this feature of the case too
much stress cannot easily be laid.
Provisions from Trass.
There is a tree which grows in
Sumatra, Algeria and China which
is known as the vegetable tallow
tree. From its fruit large quanti
ties of oil and tallow are extract
ed, and the fruit is gathered in
November or December, when all
the leaves have fallen. Excellent
candles are made from the berries
of a tree which grows in some
parts of South Africa and the
Azores. At Sierra Leone is found
the cream fruit tree, the fruit of
which is very agreeable in taste.
In Ceylon there is the breadfruit
tree, from which a food is made in
the same way that we make bread.
Itissaidto be equally good and nu
tritious. In South America we
find the milk tree.—Philadelphia
Ledger.
Curious Incident,
A man on Twenty-third street |
furnished much amusement to a
number ot people on a recent
windy afterfioon by a predicament ;
he fell in*o, or rather that fell |
onto him A large gunny sack
dropped from the roof of one of
the buildings, and, as it descend-;
ed, filled with air, coming down
with mouth wide open, like a bal- i
loon. It struck the unfortunate
man squarely over the head, cov
ering him completely down be
low the shoulders, and pinioning
hie arms so that he had difficulty
in extricating himself. He strug
gled as if he thought he was being
kidnaped until he managed to get
tbe sack off his head.—N. Y. Poet
