MOCCASINS FOR SOLDIERS.
Inquiries Made by Representatives of
Powers at War for “Bangor’s
Golden Slippers.”
Inquiries have been received in
Bangor, Me., from persons sup I
posed to represent either the Rus
sian or the Japanese government
concerning prices for moccasins
in large quantities and the earli
est date of delivery at Atlantic or
( Pacific ports. It Is supposed that
the moccasins are wanted for sol
diers campaigning in Manchuria.
For that purpose they would be
eminently suitable, says the New
York Sun.
The moccasin is the favorite
footwear of the lumbermen of
Maine, and was first made in Ban
gor in 1851. At first only one or
two styles were made, but now
moccasins are manufactured in
great variety, ranging from slip
pers for women and children—<
soft as kid and embroidered with
beads—to the stout boots and lar
rigans of the Penobscot lumber
men.
Much of the sewing is still done
by hand, being let out by the piece
to French Canadian families in
the neighborhood of Bangor. All
moccasins are made of a specially
prepared leather, rendered a gold
en yellow by a peculiar process of
tanning.
The common moccasin is not
proof against water, but it has
i oom for several pairs of stock
ings, and that is a strong point in
its favor. For keeping the feet
warm and dry in cold weather the
moccasin has no equal.
The greater part of the mocca.
bid learner sun comes irom rne
place of its origin, Pawtucket,
R. I., although a considerable
quantity is tanned in Bangor.
Some years ago Bangor men es
tablished factories at Red Wing,
Minn., and Racine, Wis.
The dainty bath slippers, which
ai-e not really moccasins, but are
made from soft elk skin, are in
gi eatdemand at home and abroad,
and are especially favored by the
ladies of Japan, to which country
Bangor sends large quantities. It
now seems likely that “Bangor’s
golden slippers,” as moccasins are
called, may be worn by the con
tending armies in Manchuria.
JAPAN’S FIRST IRONCLAD.
H*r Crew Made a Brave Start, Bui
Couldn’t Stop Her Till Fires
Went Out.
That the role of Japan as a mar
itime power is a new one is
brought strongly to our notice by
recalling the quite well authen
ticated story of the first adven
ture of the first Japanese iron
clad, says Country Life.
She was built in England.
While she was building her crew
were also in England practicing,
in other ironclads how to drive
her. When she was finished the
Japanese seamen took possession
of her, bravely maintaining that
they were fully equal to the task
of starting her.
And that, to be sure, they were,
for she steamed out finely. The
trouble only began when she came
DacK to port again, men, wnen
they wanted to slow her down and
stop her, they were unable to do
so.
They had to put her out to sea
again and go on steaming her
about till her fires went out, her
engines stopped for want of
steam, and she could be towed in.
From this to having the best
mentally-equipped crews, perhaps,
of any nation seems a long step,
but it has been a very rapid one.
Insect Senses.
Naturalists have decided that
many insects have senses which
human beings lack. That of loca
tion, shown by the wasp, for in
stance, is remarkable. One spe
cies builds its nest in a sandbank
that is only a part of several acres
of such soil, and when it leaves in
search of food it covers the nest so
carefully that no ordinary eye
could discover its location. That
is to say it is just like all the sur
rounding location, and yet the
wasp flies back to it without hes
itation and finds it without mak
ing a mistake. There is another
wasp that unerringly locates the
eggs of the mason bee under a
thick layer of sun-baked clay, and
deposits her eggs in the same
cells that her young may have
food when they are hatched.
Timber for Cigar-Boxes.
Practically all the timber used
for cigarboxes comes from Cuba.

BRAIN ASLEEP KEEPS TIME.
Wm»< 1b Slvatkrr Man Hm
Idea ef Hear Than Wke»
▲wake.
That a man may have a better Idea erf
the time of night when he awakens
|rom a good sleep than he would have
of the time of day, provided he were
Working unusually hard, with unusual
intentness of purpose, is one of the odd
facts connected with the operation of th#
human brain, says the Chicago Tribwasi
But on the other hand, If a man may
work with such Intensity of purpose as
to forget the lapse of two or three hours
of daylight, so he may sleep with s
soundness that prevents the little time
keeper of the brain from making sub
conscious note of the hour hand of th*
clock in the night. As between the two
conditions, however, it is the opinion of
Dr. O. A. King, professor of nervous dis
eases in the College of Physicians and
Surgeons, that the awakened sleeper
usually has a better idea of the flight of
the night than the other may have of the
flight of the day.
"Under ordinary circumstances the
person who Is in normal sleep is not
asleep,” said the doctor. “That one nook
in the brain which takes cognizance of
time Is alert to an extent not appreciated
by the, layman. Awakening at any time
in the night the person in good health
and condition knows pretty closely
whether it is midnight or after, or
whether it be nearer two o’clock In th#
morning than it Is to four o’clock. Many
persons have the faculty so cultivated
that they know within the quarter hours
of the exact time.
“On the other hand it is a common ex
pression with persons in all line of work
suddenly to look at the clock and ex
press the keenest surprise that it is so
late in the afternoon or the evening;
and occasionally one who has been work
ing to poor advantage and under dlft
Acuities will be surprised on looking at
his watch that it is so early.
"That the brain in sleep keeps this
tally upon the time is proved by the In
fluences of anaesthetics. A person who
has been profoundly under the influence
of any drug used for the purpose will be
as utterly unconscious of the passing of
ten minutes as he will be unconscious
of the passing of an hour. He may be
forgetful of all conditions leading up to
the state of anaesthesia and for the time
being he may have forgotten the day of
the week.
"As to the time measurement In sleep,
it is beet represented In the person used
to travel and to the catching of trains In
the night Many of these persons will be
able to awaken at an hour giving them
Just the margin needed for preparation
Cc-r the train.
“One of the peculiarities of a person’s
waking for a train, or for any such emer
gency, Is that the awakening always Is
audden. There is none of the prelimi
nary yawning, and stretching, and slow
ly returning sense of luxurious rest and
comfort felt by the man who has slept
a full sleep. In this awakening to a
certain time the person frequently feels
that Impression of a sudden sound which
he knows cannot have been made or
uttered. Not infrequently he has the
sense that some one has called his name.
He may be almost certain that he has
heard his first name—’George?’—called
with the characteristic rising inflection.
In almost any case his awakening is
without any premonitory symptoms. It
Is with a sort of jolt that he comes into
full fledged consciousness. In such cases
as those where the sleep is profound be
yond any consciousness of the time, tUe
dream period of sleep is let far behind;
the sleep haa approached the depth of
anaesthesia."
Oneof the oddities of sleep was referred
to in which a person may lie down for
rest without intending to sleep. It may
be morning or afternoon, but'the fatigue
that prompts the person to lie down
overcomes him, and, after a sound sleep,
he awakens without any knowledge of
time in any sense. He does not realize
whether it is morning or afternoon;
whether he has had luncheon, or wheth
er he may not have slept through a day
and a night, and awakened into another
day. II IS me opinion oi ur. iviug iuh.l iu
such a case the person experiencing the
sensations probably 16 not in a normal
state of health.
As an example of sleep that should ha
natural and close to the design of nature,
and of an awakening that should be
normal without the effect of an artificial
civilization crowding it, the babe which
has rested to the full and begins to
arouse Itself from slumber is an Interest
ing study._
Chloroform for Plant*.
Albert Maumene, in the Review Scl
entiflque, Paris, referring to experi
ments of M. Johannsen, of the Agricul
tural sehool of Copenhagen, gives It as
his opinion that by the use of anes
thetics, such as ether and chlorofflrm,
early forcing In plant development by
present methods will all be superseded,
since the anesthetizing process makes
possible the flowering of these plant*
four or five months earlier than the or
dinary methods of forcing.

WINE of CARDUI *
No. 14 Main PBNSAfcbiA; Fla., Nov. 20, 1903.
I had been suffering with irregukt, scanty and most painful menstru
ation, and when the periods occurred I was unable to be up and had to stay
in bed for a day or two. Nothing I took helped me until I used Wine of
Cardui. It proved to be just what I needed. Within two months the
serious pain had disappeared, my headaches were less frequent and not so
severe and felt very much encouraged, but had to use your medicine for
four months before I was entirely well and regular. I have enjoyed the
| finest health now for eighteen / <
months. I am very regular and W
have no more pains and eat and 'ly'

Pain Weakens
And Destroys the
Nerves.
Do you know that pain is simply the
nerves crying for help?
Has it ever occurred to you that pain
weakens and destroys the nervous sys
tem?
For this reason you should act prompt
ly in every case of headache, backache,
stomach ache, sciatica, rheumatism,
neuralgia, toothache, and all other pain.
Dr. Miles’ Anti-Pain Pills will relieve
pain almost instantly, because they act
in a natural and harmless manner upon
the nerve tissues, and relieve the con
ditions which cause the pain.
While very prompt and effective In
their action, they do not effect the
bowels In the least, are perfectly harm
less, and leave no disagreeable after
effects.
Delicate women who suffer from
headache, bearing-down and periodical
pains, can use them with impunity.
You may also give them to children
with the assurance that while they will
relieve, they cannot possibly harm.
"Dr. Miles’ Anti-Pain Pills never fail
to cure headache, pain in back of neck,
cold pains, neuralgia, or in fact any
pain. I have taken them with best re
sults, and nave gfven them to others;
they never disappoint.”—
