Many people although they know of nervous prostration do not know what the symptoms are. The principal ones 'are, a feeling of fright when in crowded places, a dread of being alone, fear of being in a. confined place, a horror of 'society, a dread of • things falling from above, fright at travelling on railroad 'trains, and disturbed and restless, un - ,refreshing sleep, often troubled with . dreams. .Mrs. George Lee, Victoria Harbor, 'Ont,, writes: "I am writing to tell yon • of the experience I have had with Mit. burn's Heart and Nerve fills. I was so nervous I could not do my own work, I did not want to see ally one, or would I :go any place. My nerves were bad for 'three years, and my heart was so bad it ,sonde me tremble all over.

You meet an actor and You 'fall-' in love with him and be with you." "That's bard to imagine, that last," "Not so hard," he said gently. "Not, the actor le going to put you on the stage, perhaps in this new play, and some day be is going to marry you. "Is that what be promised the girl?" "According to some letters her moth- er found, yes. The actor is married, but be tells you he will• divorce the wife. You are to wait for -hint, and In the meantime be wants you near him— away from the office, where other men are apt to come in with letters to he typed and to chaff you. You are a pretty girl." "It isn't necessary to overwork my imagination," I said, with a little bit- terness. I bad been a pretty girl, but work and worry— "Now you are going to New York v,ery soon, and in the meantime you have cut yourself off from all your people. You have no one but this man. What would you do? Where would you go?" "How old was the girl?" "I think," I 'said slowly, "that if I were nineteen and in love with a man and hiding I would hide as near him as possible. I'd be likely to get a win- dow that could see his going out and coming in—a place so near that he could come often to see me.." "Bravo!" he exclaimed. "Of course, with your present wisdom and expe- rience, you would do nothing so fool- ish. But this girl was in her teens'. She was not very far away, for he probably saw her that Sunday after- noon, when he was out for two hours. And as the going was slow that day and he bad much to tell und•-expiain I figure she was not far off, probably in this very neighborhood." During the remainder of that morn- ing I saw Mr. Holcombe at' intervals going from house to house. Finally he came back, flushed and excited. "I found the house." be said, wiping his glasses. "She was there, all right, not so close as we had thought, but its close as she could get." "And can you trace iter?" 1 asked. His race changed and saddened. "1'oor child!" he said. "She is dead, Mrs. Pitman!" "Not she—at Sewickley!" "No:" be said patiently. "That was Jennie Brice." "But—Mr. Howell"— "Mr. Howell is a young ass," he said with irritation. "He did not take Jen- nie'Brice out of the city that morning. Ile took Alice Murray in Jennie Brice's clothing, and veiled." Well, that is five years ago. Five times since then the Allegheny river, from tieing a mild and inoffensive stream, carrying a few boats and a great deal or sewage, has become a raging destroyer and has tilled our hern'ts with tear anti our cellars with mud. A few days ago. as I said at the be- ghnning, we found Peter's body foat- ing in the cellar, and as soon as the yard was dry 1 buried him. He lad grown fat and lazy, but I shall miss hint.

In his final statement, written with great care and no little literary finish, he told the story in detail; of arrang- lag the clews' as Mr. Howell and Mr. Bronson bad suggested; of going out in the boat with the body, covered with it fur coat, in the bottom of the skiff; of throwing it into the current above rile Ninth street bridge, and of seeing tate fur coat fall from the boat and car- ried beyond his reach; of disposing of the head near the Seventh street bridge; of going to a drug store, as per the Howell, intitrnctions and of coming home at 4 o'clock to find me at the head of the stairs. Several points of confusion remain- ed. One bad been caused by Temple Hope's refusal to admit that the dress and bat that figured in the case were to be used by her the next week at the theater. Mr. Lndley insisted that this was the ease and that on that Sun- day afternoon hes wife lied requested him to take them to Miss Hope: that they had quarreled ;ms to whether they should he peeked in a box or in the brown valise, end that he had visited - Alice Murray instead.

"At last they took him out of the smoke and tied a stick across his chest to his extended arms with the inten- tion of punishing him still further, but they let him off on payment of a fine and many promises of better be- havior, which promises he has scrupu• lously kept."

GEOGRAPHICAL NAMES. Why Foreign Nomenclature Often Puz- zles American Readers. Foreign geographical names often prove confusing to American readers because each European country has a name of its own for each of its cities, rivers and other geographical feat - tures. Every other nation has a dif- ferent name for the same thing. Amer- ican merican geographies follow the English in their nomenclature. but often employ a different pronunciation, For example, we call one Belgian city Antwerp. while the Belgians and French call it Anvers. We term an- other Belgian city Mechlin, while at home It is termed Malines. The river Meuse is pronounced in Belgium and France very nearly as we would pro- nounce it, while the Germans pro- nounce it as if it were spelled Moysey, and the people of the Netherlands call it the Maas. Brussels is spelled Brux- elles at home. and the final s is not pro- nounced. Dendermonde, on the river Deader, is pronounced Dandermond by its inhabitants, but it is known as Ter - monde in most of the geographies. Aalst is also spelled Attest. Louvain is Leuven at home, Vienna is Wien and Ghent is Gaud. So one might go down the line. It is to be loped that some day the geo- graphical societies - will get together and agree upon a nomenclature that will be universally adopted.—Detroit Tribune. The Pyrophore. A living light, called the pyrophore, makes illumination cheap and conven- ient in Brazil. The pyrophore• is a monster firefly an inch and a half long. With one it is possible to read fine print, and three will light a room. The Brazilian peasant, when he traverses by night the perilous forest paths of his country, fastens to each shoe a py- rophore. Thus illuminated, be has no difficulty in avoiding poisonous snakes, pitfalls and wild beasts. The Brazilian coquette fastens in her hair or her cor- sage a pyrophore incased in white tulle. The effect is as of a great luminous pearl or opal. When a pyrophore's light goes out it is not necessary to fill him up with oil, to drop a coin in him or to throw him away, but a.moment's ducking in cold water suffices. There- after his three little lanterns, one on the breast and two on the back, emit again as bright a radiance as ever. British Life Guards, England's famous Life guards, now regarded as the oldest cavalry com- mand in the world, were organized just after the restoration. They were recruited from the old cavaliers who fought for Prince Charles Stuart, and in 1601 they were formed Into three troops, then known as the King's Own, the Duke of York's and the Duke of Albemarle's. At that time it was al- ways demanded that one troop should be raised in Scotland in honor of the house of Stuart It was the duty of the Life guards to protect the sover- eign and the royal family,—At'gonaut The Sea Horse, Tile male sea borse has a 1ittte pouch in its ventral surface, into which in some manner it places the eggs of its mate. When they are hatched and be- come too numerous and large to con. trot the sea horse presses the watch against a stone and gently urges them to take their departure. At this time they are very small, but they grow rapidly And are preyed upon by myr- iads of fishes. Quite Handy. •'The automobile is a great Insthit• tion." "For instance?"

No Excuse .=or Homes Lacking Ire Mode, n Conveniences. The farm is conceded to be the most healthful place in the world to live. It is time now to take serious thought as to our resources and see if we can't make our farm homes the pleasantest and most convenient spots also. writes ,a contributor to the Farm and Fire- side. There Is no longer excuse for homes which are totally lacking in modern conveniences and labor saving devices. The man who today remarks that "what was good enough for my grand- father is good enough for me" is not considered conservative; he is set down either as a lazy good for nothing or a lunatic. Nor does he speak the truth. The grain on his farm is not cut with a sickle nor tied by hand. The, homes which lack comforts are becoming rarer each day, but there are many cases where more might be done to bring the house equipment up to the standard of town houses—cases where natural resources close at hand are neglected end the owner fails to per- ceive his opportunities for introducing new conveniences. The back breaking drudgery of carry- ing water from the spring or well to the house should not be tolerated on any farm which holds the least preten- sion or progressiveness. The gasoline engine or electric motor, the hydraulic ram or even a windmill will raise the water from its source, and you have only to provide a tank to receive it. In mild climates this tank may be built out of doors and pipes laid in shallow ditches to the house. If the BANby TYPE or ttesox iNx =emu. I Now turn your attention to lighting the house. OIl lamps are not to be despised, especially if they are well chosen and cared for. but electricity is to be preferred. as It means less work and many conveniences in addition to lighting. If you can secure electric current from some nearby town at a flat rate it is often well to do so, but it is still better to install a little power plant of your own. 1 f you have oa your place a stream with sufficient fall, by all means consult an engineer and have him estimate the cost of installing a dynamo. winters are severe, however, care must be taken to render it frost proof, and evert then the storage tank, if it be a large one, is not as satisfactory as it meta be, for the Water it contains is apt to grow stale. The newer com- nru--sed air tanks are most satisfactory, sluice the tank may be smaller, the twi:t,tr is kept fresh and there is no dan- ger of freezing. A smaller tank Is siei-etimes placed above the kitchen rollers and the water pumped into it. In such a rase, or if the ordinary tank is a'.esit'ed elsewhere, the water may be t,t'i t fresher if au overflow pipe is eon- n,'.•ted with the stable watering Troughs.

Don't try to raise early chicks un- less you have a place to properly care for them. It is a waste of time and money. A good many think if they can hatch the chicks brooding them is a small matter.
