Since Friday night the thermometer has registered constantly at from 5 to 30 delow zero. Up to this time the winter had been an excellent one for stock. Considerable hay had been fed out, and many who bad not supplied themselves with hay were com pelled to pay exborbitant prices for the article, which they did rather than sac rifice their herds.

NERVOUS DYSPEPSIA To Gain Flesh, to Sleep Well, to Know What Appetite and Good Digestion Means. MAKE A TEST OF STUART'S DYS PEPSIA TABLETS. No trouble is more common or more misunderstood than nervous dyspep-.ia. People having it think their nerves are to blame and are surprised that they are not cured by nerve medicine?. The real seat of the mischief is lost siwht of. The stomach is the organ to be looked after. Nervous dyspeptics often do not have any pain whatever in the stomach, nor perhaps any of the symptoms of stom ach weakness. Nervous dyspepsia shows itself not in the stomach so much as in nearly every organ. In some cases the PROF. HENRY ;W. BECKER, A. M. heart palpitates and is irregular; in oth ers the kidneys are effected; in . others the bowels are constipated, with head aches ; Btill others are troubled with Iobb of flesh and appetite with accumulations of as, sour risings and heartburn. It is safe to say that Stuart's Dyspep sia Tablets will cure any stomach weak ness or disease except cancer of the stomach. They cure sour stomach, gas, loss of flesh and appetite, sleeplessness, palpitation, heartburn, constipation and headache. Send for valuable little book on stom ach diseases by addressing F. A. Stuart Co., Marshall, Mich. All druggists sell full sized packages at 50 cents. Prof. Henry W. Becker, A.

Americana Come In for a Genereu Share of I'rnise for Their Cor rect Conduct Same Carl oqi Tilings, f Had the initial stage of existence been ordered" under different circumstances; and I had been given the choice "of a birthplace, I might have elected to be born an American citizen somewhere outside' of New York. For what is one to say of a city that will not permit you to carry pickles through the streets on the seventh day rior allow you to kiss your best girl on the sidewalk on any of the others? I might not want at any period of life to do either one or the other of these proscribed acts, yet if it should happen that I did1 1 Ehould hate to call my own that city which forbade me. V Indeed, the niceties of life in New York have been somewhat of a puzzle to me. I have not been permitted to smoke a cigarette while walking along Fifth avenue with a lady, but I have been allowed to take her to the theateT and occupy a front seat in the stalls without-donning" evening dress a thing no lady would tolerate in London. Spanish cities are famous for their noises, but New York I found to be noisier than any three of them. My nerves were at a tension during the whole of my visit. It is not an unceas ing, distant rumble that soon becomes no discomfort, as in London, but a suc cession of jarring, jerky noises, dis tracting to the senses. Why you tol erate it I cannot understand. What with cable cars, the "L" railroad, the cabs and; carts rattling over roadways with no pretense at paving, and the thousand and one street cries. New York is a perfect inferno of clamor. Indoors I find another curious things curious, you must remember, to the Englishman. You heat your houses to suffocation and then dTink gallons of iced water to keep cool to the ruin of your digestion, temper and nerves, un til you have become the most dyspeptic people uncJer the eun and the special prey of the quack-medicine venders. You claim to be a sensible people, and yet your candy stores are filled every day by crowds of struggling women who eat indigestible pastry to such an extent that the graveyards of America contain more tons of gold than of teeth. The New York man d'oesnot hustle as much as you would have others be lieve. In fact, you don't work, man for man, so hard as the Englishman. But you think quicker and larger, and you think more than you work. You have a great idea, tire of it halfway through because another greater id'ea has come to you, and leave your subordinates to work out the minor details of the first scheme, with the result that it is never wholly finished. The average Englishman will see the thing through from begin ning to end,and give his whole attention to the-smallest detail. Yours is a city of diversified thought and aspirations. The one thing in which you seem to have a common mind is that you should wear a crease down the front of an old pair of trousers. As to you generally, you are the kindliest and most hospitable people on the face of the earth. This I say with out reservation, and every Englishman who has visited' your shore will bearme out in my statement. v You never seem to tire of extending to him civilities and courtesies such as overwhelm a sensi tive man, whether it is in showingwith just pride the wonders: and resources of your great country, or spendicgyour dollars or your time in h:s service. To one gentleman, who would not wish me to identify him by name, I owe a deep de"bt of gratitude1 for all he did' for me a stranger and his, I believe, was a spirit that pervades you all. Leslie's Weekly. - The Foot of the Reindeer. ' Everything in any way connected with Alaska and the Klondike is of spe cial interest at present, and among other items the foot of the reindeer de serves particular mention. The forefoot of the horse to a great extent deter mines its value, as upon this portion of its anatomy its speed and endurance depend. The foot , of the reindeer is most pecujiar in construction. It is cloven through the middle and each half curves upward ' in front. They are slightly elongated ' and capable of a considerable amount of expansion. When placed on an irregular surface, which is difficult to traverse, the animal contracts them into a sort of claw, by which a firm hold is secured. When moving rapidly the two portions of the foot, as it is lifting, strike together, the hoofs making a continuous clattering noise, which maybe heard at a consider able distance. It is this peculiarity of the feet that makes the reindeer so sure footed and so val nable in that rocky and uneven country, where almost any other animal would prove a failure as a beast of burden.

Some very remarkable bugs are be ing1 hatched and reared just at present by the experts of the government bu reau of entomology at Washington Most people would suppose that there were enough insects in existence with out resorting to artificial propagation; but the fact is that this kind of scientific work has a very useful purpose in view, This, too, notwithstanding the fact that the srjecies selected for breeding are the most pestiferous that can be found The bug hatchery, or "insectary," as it is called, is a brick building close by the department of agriculture. In con struction it resembles a greenhouse, the upper part being of glass, so as to admit plenty of light for the insects. It is divided into two compartments, one of which is artificially heated forhe ben efit of tropical and other species that require warmth, while the other is cold On shelves-all around the interior, And on the floor as well, are glass jars and queer glass-sided boxes containing a great variety of odd-looking objects. The objects in the glass jars are parts of plants, fruits, dried-up vegetables, pieces of branches or roots, etc.. One does not see any bugs at all, and the reason why is simply that the veg etables, fruits and so forth are tihe natural food of the insects, and the lat ter are either inside of them or ' else are "done up" in cocoons for the win ter. For example, there is a huge cocoon nine inches long hanging from a twig in a jar of exceptional size. This is the temporary communal dwelling built by the so-called "gregarious butterfly" in Mexico. More correctly speaking, it is the caterpillars transformed later into butterflies that construct the cocoon for a residence while they are under going their metamorphosis. The co coon iooKs antl iee;s as n maae or xuick parchment, and at the lower end of it is a small hole that serves lor a door. The labor employed in building it must be enormous. Under a powerful mag- nifving glass, it is seen te be composed ot an infinite number of shining and very slender silken threads, crossing- each other in every direction. when iut into, the nes't is found to contain 100 or more chrysalids, attached to the walls on the inside each one repre senting a future butterfly. The habit of combining together to build a house seems to be peculiar to this species among butterflies. The silk somposing the nest is exquisite, anid from 20 to 25 sheets of it can be stripped afE from the greatcocoon as if woven in a loom. If the silk could only be spun, the "gregarious butterfly" would soon displace the silkworm; and the silks and satins of commerce would be of' butterfly manufacture. Unfor tunately, the difficulty remains un solved, though many, attempts in this direction have been made. . Could a so lution of the problem be found, silk vvould become at once enormously less costly, inasmuch as the cocoons of this kind of butterfly are to be gathered in immense numbers as a wild crop in. the forests of Mexico.
