Depression of Spirits so common in summer-time-accompanied by loss of energy, lack of thought-power, means a deficient supply of nourishment. The vital force is lost. It isn’t a question of muscle and sinew, but of resistance and endurance. At any age, but especially in youth, it involves the risk of lung disease. Loss of flesh and a cough are threatening signs. of Cod-liver Oil, with the hypophosphites, meets these cases perfectly. It tones up, fattens and strengthens. In Scott's Emulsion the taste of the oil is fully disguised, making it almost as palatable as milk. For sale at coc. and SI,OO by all dme’eristi 6COTT & BOWNE, Mfg. Chemist*. New York

" WASH IN GTO N LETTER.' When General Sheridan Selected His Grave A Place For a Comrade. Immigration's Decline. [Special Correspondence.] “General Sheridan was not the only officer who selected the site for his grave at Arlington. ” one of the employees of Arlington cemetery said to me recently, “though that impression prevails very largely. Hundreds of other officers and j eoldiers have done the same thing and . there are today in the books at Arlington records of sites selected by at least ' 60 ex-offioers and ex-soldiers who want ' to be buried there, which is their right , if they desire. All that has to be done is to select the site. The government pays all the expenses of interment, digs j the grave, places a regulation monument on it and keeps the grave in order. Os course when it is preferred the regulation monument is not insisted on and | the privilege is allowed of having any kind of monument at the expense of those who are to occupy the grave or | their family or friends. How Sheridan Chose His Grave. “There is frequent inquiry made in j regard to the site selected by General Sheridan, and upon which the handsome monument, which is one of the many attractions of the cemetery, has been placed, from the fact that it is on the front of the mansion instead of in the rear or side of it, as are the other graves. This is explained by the fact that General Sheridan himself selected it. His reason for resting where he does was that that particular point is in full view from his residence on Rhode Island avenue. It is besides the only site which can be, s-.-en from the west windows of the house where his family reside. It j was this, rather than that he was ex- | elusive in his desires, that caused the ' selection. Major Gregory of the en- | gineer corps, who was buried besid. him a few weeks ago. then a captain. 1 was at that time on his staff. They were together when the siti was selected. After General Sheridan, who had select* d the site by viewing it from one of the upper rooms of his residence, had indicated it to the superintendent <t that cemetery and a record wm- made of the exact location. Major Gregory remarked in a pleasant way: " 'General, how would you like company?' “General Sheridan turned to him and repliixl, ‘Nothing would suit me better, and if you want me I will stake out a claim for you so that we can rest together. ' “Reserve a Place For Gregory.” “ 'Thank you, general, ’ replied Major Gregory, 'though I am likely to come here first. ’ Major Gregory was rather unwell that day, though as it transpired his illness was but brief. Immediately General Sheridan turned to the superintendent and said, pointing to the gnmnd: ‘Reserve a place right here for Gregory. We got along very nicely together in life, and 1 don't think we will quarrel after death. Anyhow we are both willing to risk it. ’ “I remember about JO or 12 years ago a gentleman who is very prominent in official life now and was as prominent in congressional life then, and who gained great distinction in army life, driving over to Arlington early one morning from a hotel in the city where he was stopping, and, after looking about where some soldiers from his section of the country had been buried, selected the site for his grave and had a record of the location entered upon the books. He said he had had a premonition that he would soon die and preferred to make his selection while he was in possession of his full powers. Well, the grave is here when he has use for it, but from the looks of things it will be many a year before he will need it. He told me several times since that he would be so nicely fixed among his silent comrades and friends at Arlington that all fears of death had passed away; that the trip over to Arlington that morning had thoroughly cured him. ” The Check In Immigration. The decisive check which the flow of immigration to this country has suffered within the last four years has recently been the subject of much conflicting comment, and concern and satisfaction have both been freely expressed at the marked shrinkage in the volume of alien arrivals which the immigration bureau

returns for the years 1894. 1895, 1896 and 1897 show. According to these statistics, the current of foreign immigration which, setting strongly toward our shores after the close of the war of the rebellion, reached its flood tide in the early eighties, has now wholly lost its impetus and entered apparently upon a period of exhaustion and ebb From 1880 to 1893 the average number of aliens annually seeking admission at our ports was, on a rough estimate, 500,000. In 1882 the incoming flood reached its high water mark, the number of foreigners landed footing up 788,992, In 1883 the total of arrivals was 603,322, in 1891, 669.431, and in 1892, 623,084. The. first signs of serious shrinkage came in 1894. when the total number of aliens admitted at American portsfell to 314,467. In 1895 the return was still more meager—279,94B. The i year following showed a slight reaction. the number of arrivals amounting to 343,267. In the fiscal year, however, which ended on June 30 last, the gain of 1896 was more than swallowed up only 230.833 aliens entering our gates —the smallest number admitted since 1879. With the opening of South Africa, Brazil, the Argentine, and other fields to the adventurous fortune seeker the j United States has ceased to offer the ; attractions it once held out as an El Do- : rado to the restless and discontented of all lands. Restrictive legislation, feder- [ al and state, has also hail its effect in , reducing the number of immigrants. Carl Schofield. j WOMAN AND FASHION. Woman’s choice in gowns this autumn lies between the severely plain | and tho very elaborate. The first is rep- ■ resented in a strictly tailor made gown. Ike second comes fronj the workrooms W @ I zDO CONTRASTING STYLES. of both tailor and dressmaker. In instance of the severely plain gown the New York Sun illustrates a neat sack coat costume of light cloth of almost any of the modern tints, the bright touch of color being in some of the silks used for the linings. The velvet collar should be of a darker shade of the cloth. The fly front makes an absolutely plain suit relieved by the white linen collar and cuffs and fetching tie. In contrast with this costume is a dressmaker gown in mauve cloth. The trimming of the skirt is in one deep vandyke on the front and is of an elaborate braid, quite new in pattern and of the same shade of the cloth. The bodice is trimmed with the same braid about the open V neck and covering the seams. An interlacing of the braid shows on the shoulders. The white satin vest is covered with guipure and has a collar band covered with the lace, above which a full frill stands high in the neck. Among the many natty little jackets for fall wear described by the authority quoted is an elaborate one in bright | blue cloth, trimmed with irregular rows I as black velvet about the waist. The | *•’ ik : »5‘ t _ '' \ \ NATTY LITTLE JACKET. facings of the huge collar and revere are of oriental embroidery on a dark red foundation, and are >dged around with pcncilingsof narrow black velvet.

"I have never had a days sickness in my ! life,” said a middle-aged man the other day “What a comfort it would be,” sighs some poor invalid, "to be in his place for a year or two.” Yet half the invalids we see might be just as healthy as he, if they would only take proper care of themselves, ' eat proper food—and digest it. It’s so I strange that such simple things are overlooked by those who want health. Food ' makes health. It makes strength—and , strength wards off sickness.

To Prevent Wrinkles. Numbered with other beauty hints’ dropped by » contributor to the New York Tribune is the following: When the skin is inclined to show , wrinkles, lanolin is considered one < f the I “ St pof-s-rble treatments tor dispelling these evidences of the passage cf time. It closely resembles the natural fat, in which the wrinkling skin is deficient, and it is more readily absorbed by the drying pores than other greasy preparations. Rub it in carefully, gently and slowly, first bathing the face thoroughly in hot water and cocoanut oil soap. Dry by pressing soft old damask towels to the skin, not rubbing it at all. Then apply the lanolin, rubbing it iu with the fingers. Let it stay until morning, then wash the face in warm water, using a little cocoanut oil soap to remove the greasy feeliug. Then squeeze half a lemon in a large bowlful of tepid water and rinse off the face, drying with a soft damask towel. An Evening Escort. Some time ago it was announced that fashionable men no longer offer their arms to ladies when on the street in th< evening. In commenting on this a writer in The Ladies' Home Journal says. “Personally I think any well bred man walking with a lady at night would offer her his arm, for unless he did this other people might come between them, and the very protection that he is supposed to give—preventing her from coming in contact with the crowd—would amount to nothing. ” From the same source comes the following. “Etiquette demands that when you go out to spend an evening you do not depend upon a friend to bring you home, but that yon should be accompanied either by a member of your own family or a maid. ’ ’ Fashion Echoes. Belts for next season's wear show a decided increase in width. Dress suit cases with toilet fitments are patronized by both sexes.

A reporter recently called at the residence of Mr. John Adams, a prominent business man of Batesville, Ind., where he was graciously received. It was the reporter's mission to interview Miss Lucy Adams regarding her experience with Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, as he had learned that she had lately been relieved from a prolonged and serious illness by that medicine in a most remarkable manner. “ I have indeed liud a wonderful experience with Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills. They quickly restored me to health after many other medicines had failed. About four years ago some exposure in the fall brought on an atia.-k of rheumatism. I did not pay much attention to it at first, but it gradually became worse. Sometimes it would be letter for a time, and then become worse again. We commenced doctoring with our family physician, but bis treatment did not seem to benefit me. Time rolled on. and my trouble, instead of getting better, gradually became worse. Different physicians -attended me, but tbev failed to effect relief. I was advised that the baths at the springs were the only thing that would relieve me. We tried twodifferent places and at large expense but I was only slightly benefited. I tried different medicines said to be food for my disease, but they all failed to reieve me. I whs rapidly sinking,and wss vi ry thin. One day a friend happened to call and •he told tne that she knew <•( a girl in Sunman who had been cured of the same kind of ailment by using Dr. Williams’Pink Pills for Pale People, and urged me to trv them.
