' Ever since I was little girl," sayi Mrs. Riley Laramore, "I was a great sufferer from dyspepsia. . I suffered misery after eating, and had terrible heartburn. I thought I had to suffer this way as long as I lived, but when I began to take Hedford'8 Black-Draught, in small doses, every night, the heartburn was all gone ia a few days, and 1 could eat without distress. I took two Small nackaces In all. anil although that was some time ago, the dyspepsia has not returned. I I speak a good word for Thedford's Black-Draught whenever I have the op- iWrtunny." If eating causes distress, we urge you lo try Thedford's Black-Draught It cleanses the system, helps the stomach to digest Its food, regulates the bowels, and amuiates tne liver.

Origin of the Mathematical Symbol That Stands For Nothing. It is the peculiar triumph of the mathematicians who constructed the Hindu Arabic numerals that they were led to Invent u symbol for "nothing." The Invention Rrose out of the difficul ty which was encountered when cal culations were transferred from the ancient abacus board and became a written operation. On the abacus board, which may per haps be seen still In Infants' schools, the rows of beads or counters repre sented the numerals 1 to 0, but each counter or bead In the row above rep resented ten times as srent n value us In the row below. Tups r.91 could be transferred from abacus board to pa per without difficulty, but 6 (0) IJaken from the abacus might be 51, since the vacant place was no longer Indicated. Accordingly mathematicians were led to Invent a character for the vacant place. The Invention of this symbol for "nothing" with the crowning, tran scendent achievement In the perfection of the decimal system and lay at the base of all subsequent arithmetical progress. Among the Hindus the sym bol was at first a dot, but it was soon superseded by a circle, O. Its symbol. Bays Professor B. R. Turner In a mag azine article on the numerals, has va ried greatly, and Its name has n pedi gree of its own. The Hindus called It sunya void. In Arabic this became slfr. . In 1202 Leonardo Fibonacci trans lated it zephlrum. In 1330 Maxlmus Planudes called it tzlphra. During the fourteenth century Italian writers shortened it to zenero and cenro, which became zero, now In general use. Meanwhile It has passed more nearly in Arabic form Into Trench as cblffre and into English as cipher, taking on new significations. WILLING TO GIVE CREDIT. Jefferson's Admirer Was Mixed, but He Rose to the Occasion. Jefferson was the most delightful story teller I have ever met writes Mary Shaw in the Century, describing "The Human Side of Joseph Jeffer son." His varied life and experiences were wonderfully interesting. Once we were In Terre Haute, Ind., and the theater was near a hotel. We got out of the cab and were strolling through the hotel corridor when a very pom pous man came up to Mr. Jefferson, as persons frequently did, and, extending his hand, said: "Mr. Jefferson, you do not know me, but I know you very well, and, air, I am very glad to see you in our city. Xou are a great actor. I have seen you ever since I was a little boy" he looked fully as old as Mr. Jefferson "and I have always looked forward to your visit to this place." He went on praising Mr. Jefferson, who presently said: "I thank you very much. You are very kind." Upon which the old gentleman went on: "1 tell you everywhere In this town people are glad to see old Josh Whit comb." There was a moment of silence, and den Mr. Jefferson said: T think you are mistaken. 1 play Rip Van Winkle. You must mean Mr. Thompson. He plays Josh Whit comb." The effusive gentleman paused long enough to collect his wits and then snld cheerfully: "Oh, yes! So you are the old fellow who played Rip Van Winkle? Well, you're food too." The Famous Portland Vase. The material of the famous Portland vase Is glass, with cameo engraving. The vase Is composed of two layers of glass, white over dark blue. The whlto was ground away by hand so as to leave the design in white upon the blue background. It is one of the tragedies of the British museum that this priceless treasure was smashed to pieces by an insane visitor. It has. however, been repaired with great skill and Is now guarded with extra care. This beautiful specimen of Greek art is ten Inches in height, with a diame ter at Its broadest part of seven Inches. Its present name comes from the fact that It was once owned by the Duke of Portland, who loaned It to the British museum In 1810. Ex change. Custard. Concerning custard, or "custad," as it wns formerly called. It was n com mon joke at civic feasts In England In the olden time to place an enormous custard in the middle of the table, into which at some stage of the proceedings the clown unexpectedly Jumped. Ben Jonson uses the term "custard leap Jack" of one who "in tall of a sheriff's dinner" took "his almain leap Into custard" to "make my lady mayoress and ber sisters laugh aU their hoods over their shoulders." Wanted No Jealousy. Little Lola had received a doll and a kitten among her birthday presents. "Which do you like best, your kitten or your doll?" asked ber mother. LolH went over and whispered in her .mother's ear, "I like dollie best, but please don't tell kitty." Chicago News Insidious. "My vnl(t give me a bawth every morning." said Cbollle.

They admitted that when young Hanson recently secured his mothef's forgiveness for marrying Miss Reutti, who was an actress, I he reconciliation did not ex tend to the bride. The young woman's father, who has been here for the purpose of inter viewing Mrs. Hanson is regard to his son-in-law's whereabouts, intimated that he had been kidnapped by the mother.

The Remarkable Signal Light That Summarily Stopped Two Trains That Were Rushing on to Certain Destruc tion In a Head-on Collision. Once upon a time If any man hnd asked me If two locomotives rushing toward one another head on and with no human agency between could avoid a collision I would have replied. "Not by nny earthly power." Since I have had my fling at railroading as a Grand Trunk brakeman in Canada, however. 1 do not feel so cocksure about impos sibillties. I venture to say that any man who passed through that affair at Sandy curve, iu western Ontario, tind lug himself as suddenly rescued as he was suddenly in peril, would Jiot be too glib In future regarding what can and what cannot happen. On one section of my run lay what was probably one of the most danger ous c urves on any railroad route In America outside the Rocky mountains. They called it by ninny names Sandy curve, the Horseshoe, the Devil's el bow and the Switchback but of all descriptions none litted It so well as the lloiseshoe, for the track formed exactly that shape. In order to save the cost of a tunnel the construction engineers had taken the road around the bend of it mountainous cliff that jutted out Into the lake and then back 100 yards to the mainland. Between the points of the curve loomed an ugly wall of granite K feet In height, a barrier absolutely impenetrable to light and sound. The curved roadbeds forming the two sides of this curious piece of pioneer construction had their point of contact, of course, nt the toe of the shoe, beneath which lay the glistening waters of the lake. The Horseshoe curve was notorious for a long series of nasty accidents. It was the 7th of November and mis erably dark and foggy. Five miles from the curve I was passing ncrosn an open platform between two conches when I hoard our whistle shrieking. In the forest of spruces and those ugly galleries of granite the sound echoed and throbbed until it fell to n murmur. At that moment It seemed to me that I caught the blare of nnother whistle, a trifle louder than our last echo. A shudder run down my spine, and I leaned far out on the steps, but noth ing culd be seen, and the sound was not repeated. I mentioned the Inci dent to the conductor, but he only laughed nt me. That did not make mo forget the blast I had heard sifting out of the spruce trees, and I knew In my heart that it did not come from our locomotive. To keep my mind off my fears I went forward to the baggage enr and chatted with the "newsy." Then I fell asleep ou a bench. "Crunch, click!" and then a final se ries of crunches. I knew that meant the nlr brakes, and jumped on to the limit. In an In stant I was up and, grabbing ray lan tern, tumbled through the door nfter the news agent. The long train was swinging far out on the Horseshoe curve. The lurching and grinding of the brakes were like the torture of a nightmare. With a last painful grit ting of the buffers the train came to a standstill. Passengers, conductor and train crew were coming forward In great alarm, but before we could reach the locomotive the engineer toofno,? out of tt' darkness, his face OWN PAINT glowing" with ti fearfSrCTclfemehf. "Did you see?" he cried -vaguely, and I never saw a railroad man more over come. "Look yonder!" We all stnred where he pointed. Abovo the dismal lake, about a hundred yards from shore, there hung suspended a ball of brilliant, snow white fire, as if the moon, had lost her bearings and had tumbled toward the earth. We were deathly silent at the sight. No one volunteered an explanation. "Don't you understand?" yelled the engineer. "Don't yon people under stand? There Is a train on the oppo site side of the Horseshoe, and it wns coming up to meet us at twenty miles an hour. We missed each other by an act of God !" Then I saw what he meant. That strange ball of light suspended out there in the darkness was the focus of Vie two headlights, and both engineers ad seen it In the nick of lime. We stood there like statues. I know , my heart was lientlng like a hammer, and my comrades were pale faced and open mouthed with wonder.
