Ironic Dyspepsia Gored.
A FTER suffering for nearly thirty years
from dyspepsia, Mrs. H. E. Dugdale,
wife of a prominent business man of
Warsaw, N. Y., writes: “For 28 years. I was
a constant sufferer from dyspepsia and a
weak stomach, 'T'he lightest food produced
distress, causing severe pain and the forma
tion of gas. No matter how careful of my
diet I suffered agonizing pain after eating.
I was treated by many physicians and tried
numerous remedies without permanent help.
Two years ago I began taking Dr. Miles*
jjerve and Liver Pills and Nervine. Within
a week I commenced improving^ and per
sisting in the treatment I was soon able to
ea t what I liked, with no evil effects
I keep them at hand and a single dose dispels
tn y old symptoms.**

Military Cloaks.
Xew traveling wraps for lengthy
jonmevs are military cloaks, quite
as long as an ulster, to be worn
with or without cape. The fronts
are semi-loose and the backs fitted
ami sometimes belted. Man] 7 of
these wraps are made of army blue
cloth, and the fronts are fastened
with medium sized gilt buttons.
The deep cape is fastened by and
trimmed with stitched straps of
the cloth and is alone a sufficient
wrap for many occasions. Checked
and striped cloths, lightly and
roughly woven and others of dark
color and finer grain, said to be
absolutely waterproof, are made
in redingote style, much after the
fashion of coachmen’s coats, with
and without shoulder capes, and
tfill he used for traveling and
morning walks.
Queer Beliefs About Seven.
So numerous are the queer
beliefs concerning the number
seven that a narration of them all
would fill a volume, but we may
mention a few of them, says the
Washington Star. From the
very earliest ages the seven great
planets were known and ruled this
world and the dwellers in it, and
their number entered into every
conceivable matter that concerned
man. There are seven days in the
week, “seven holes in the head for
the master stars are seven,” seven
ages both f.or man and the world
in which he lives. There were
seven material heavens, and in the
underworld described by Dante,
the great pagan dead who were not
good enough for heaven or bad
enough for hell,reposed in a seven
gated city. T1k re are seven colors
in the spectrum and seven notes
in the diatonic octave and the
‘‘leading” note of the scale in the
seventh. Be it noted that the
seventh son is not always gifted
with beneficient powers. In
Portugal he is believed to be
subject to the powers of darkness
and to be compelled every
Saturday evening to assume the
likeness of an ass.
Dr. M. A. Simmons Liver Medicine
has since 1840 steadily risen in public
favor, and the demand for it far ex
ceeds that of any other Liver Medicine.
A woman who died in one o£ tl e
charitable institutions of Toledo,
O., was turned over unclaimed to
the Toledo Medical College. An
examination showed that the
stomach contained almost a quart
of hairpins, needles brass pins,
safety pins, pumpkin and melon
seeds, small nails and other in
digestible matter. At least 500
hairpins at right angles, the same
number of brass pins, and almost
as many needles, pieces of glass
from one to two and half inches
in length, a ring set wdth a tine
stone, and other articles were
found. A hole three inches wide
had been eaten through the walls
of the stomach, through irritation
aud inflammation. The intestines
were fairly riddled.

Death of Gen. Calixto Garcia.
General Calixto Garcia, who
next to Gomez has been lhecentr.il
figure in the struggle for Cuban
independence, died yesterday in
Washington after a short struggle
with pneumonia.
The death oi this gallanDsoldit r
and devoted patriot at this tin e
is inexpressibly sad. After a strug
gle of a life time, in which he had
suffered hardships and privations
such as fall to the lot of few men,
for the sake of his beloved coun
try, and had been wounded nigh
unto death more than once, the
object of his life’s work, Cuba
Libre, was practically accom
plished.
His mission to Washington was
to represent his comrades in arms
and to consult with the American
government, through whom the
liberation of his country from the
cruel domination of Spain had
come, as to the future of the
island.
Like Moses of old, he ascended
to Pisgah’s top and was permitted
to see the promised land, and like
Israel’s great law-giver, he was not
permitted to enjoy the land “flow
ing with milk and honey.”
General Garcia will go into his
tory with those other heroic char
acters who have given the best that
was in them for the cause* of lib
erty. He was a master of the
style of warfare which prevailed
in Cuba during the ten years’ war
and the later struggle. He was a
thorn in the side of the Spaniard
and had rightfully earned the high
place he held in the regards of his
countrymen.
With the exception of the some
what excusable outbreak which
followed his curt treatment by
General Shatter after the fall of
Santiago, he has been a consistent
friend and admirer of the United
States, and it is not impossible
that his death may somewhat com
plicate the pacification of Cuba
and retard the ultimate settlement
of the Cuban question. He was
the leader of the conservative ele
ment among the fighting Cubans
and dominated the recent congress
which appointed him and bis con
freres to confer with the Washing
ton government as to the future
of Cuba. Those whom he repre
sented recognized the necessity for
an American occupation of the
island for the present and until a
representative, effective native
government could be established,
and they favored an earnesfc,-com
plete co-operation with the Amer
icans to bring about this result at
the earliest possible moment.
Now that his restraining influ
ence has beeur removed, it is not
impossible that the Cuban irrecon-
cilables may gain the upper hanc
and bring about a condition which
will necessitate an indefinite pro
longation of the American occu
pation.
Not only therefore is there an
element of sadness in Genera'
Garcia’s death because the gallant
old man is deprived of seeing in
the flesh in the realization of bis
dreams, but there is also an ele
ment of real danger for Cuba and
of serious trouble for the United
States.—Macon Telegraph.
