It Takes a Remedy of Uncommon Merit to Draw the Unqualified Praise of a Successful Practicing Physician. Dr. J. W. Bates of Corfu, N. Y„ states : ” A most remarkible case has come under my hands of late and has fully convinced me of the wonderful power of Dr. A. W. Chase's Nerve Pills over diseases of the nerves. “A young lady who was treated for over two years for epilepsy by two doctors was given up to die. I found that her sickness was not epilesy, but nervous troubles, due to menstrual derangements, and prescribed four of Dr. Chase's Nerve Pills a day, after meals and at bed-time. Since that time she has not had a single bad spell. Her health has rapidly improved, she has gained about Impounds in weight, and I do not hesitateto state that Dr. A. W.Chase's Nerve Pillshave saved her life and restored her to health.” Mrs. Fawcett of Marietta St., St. Clairs* viile, 0., says : '* I have used Dr. A. W. Chase’s Nerve Pills and can recommend them to others as a good sound reliable nerve and general tonic. When I got the box of the Pills I was complaining of nervousness, weakness and pain through the shoulders—rheumatic in type —digestion not over good as usual. The effect of the medicine has been very satisfactory indeed. So marked has been the change towards health and comfort I can conscientiously say they are fine and'what they are represented to be. At my advanced age I feel I am getting all the benefit possible." Mrs. M. J. Hubbard of Railroad Avenue, Sistersville. W. Va., says : "I like Dr. A. W. Chase’s Nerve Pills. I was nervous, excitable, unable to sleep, I had not taken the medicine long when my nerves were steady and strong —my physical strength and energy back and my sleep sound and natural. ’’ See that the portrait and signature of Dr. A. W. Chase are on every box. Price 50 cents a box. —Six boxes for $2.50. Manufactured by the Dr. A. W. Chase Medicine Co., Buffalo, N. Y. Eastern Dispatch.

People who have an objection to bugs i in their food need to take much pains with the cleansing of vegetable!, espe- | daily succulent plants, such as asparagus, greens, lettuce, etc., before cook- ' Ing or serving up raw. If left for I awhile, tips downward. In well salted i water, the plants will drop an interestI ing assortment of discouraged living | creatures on the bottom of the vessel, I and more may be gathered by carefully brushing and riming the crevices and I hollows of the plants. When cooked, I this animal food may be harmless to those who like It, but In uncooked sal- : ads it is possible to swallow dangerous I i germs unless they are knocked ont by I the help of antiseptic salt. The same ' precautions are commended to pru- ! dence and refinement with respect to i fruits.—Medical Kecord. Depew and Platt. Chauncey M. Depew used to have in I his collection of curiosities a certain j telegraphic dispatch which never failed to Interest the politicians to whom , he showed it The telegram was sent to Mr. Depew, then president of the New York Central ■tllroad, by Mr. ■ Piatt shortly before the latter's election to a second term in the senate. It is dated a few stations above Poughi keepsie and reads: I Plmm *<°p Oh noon express her* to tike on I Mrx putt and “I stopped the train gladly,” Mr. Dej pew would say when he exhibited it I “I am always willing to do a favor for a man who turns a Joke on himself." The Marrlaire Care. One remedy against indigestion is i matrimony. At least The Lanett ’ells us that it is the celibate young oarrls- , ter, the lonely curate In lodgings, the ; struggling bachelor Journalist or business man or clerk who suffers most from premature dyspepsia because he eats alone. He generally reads during I . his meals, which U bad, or he reads I directly be has *>olted his food, which is likewise bad. Obviously, therefore, matrimony Is a bar to Indigestion.Lady's Pictorial.

THE MAIDEN OF THE SMILE. In tb.t fair land where slope and plain Shine back to gun and sky And olives shield the sprouting grata When wintry arrows fly, Where snow led streams seek sun warmed vale. «S Through vineyard scarped defile, The world we enter with a wail She greeted with a smile. Slumbering, she smiled and, stnidng, woke, And when she felt the smart Os grave, sad life smiles still bespoke Her tenderness of heart, And nightly when she knelt and prayed Beside her snow white bed Her face was one pure smile that made A heaven about her head. , When love first trembled in her ear • ' f The heart throbs that beguile. j She listened with assenting tear, ,v Then chased it with a smile. Sorrow and pain with smiles she bcre Unto her latest breath. But the sweetest smile she ever wore Was the smile she wore in death. —Alfred Austin in Independent. SELF FLAME OF JEWELS. The Close the Diamond Show. XV hen Under I’reseure. A traveler for a diamond house was j talking shop the other evening and,j speaking of gems, said: "The most overworked expression used by the unsophisticated and deeply impressed diamond purchaser is, 'lt. actually looks as if it glows of itself.’ ! Now, it Is not generally known that I such is actually the case, although not, i of course, in the way the public in-1 tends. The beauty of the gem In light! is, of course, in its remarkable refract-I ive power, but under certain conditions ' the diamond has more, for it may I gleam even in the night with a pale] but extremely beautiful light. In I short, it becomes phosphorescent, j Heated to a certain temperature the | internal fire shows Itself, and under | pressure the same is true. “Some years ago I went to Amster-: dam to purchase some special stones' for a California millionaire who bad I ordered them through our New York ! house, and while there 1 was shown ' the inside workings of the famous dia-! mond cutting establishments of that! city. Os all that 1 saw. however, the J 'self flame' of the stones under pressure most surprised me. The manager placed a large rose cut gem between the Jaws of a vise and carefully applied a certain amount of pressure. He then extinguished all'the light In the shop, and as soon as my eyes had become accustomed to the darkness I saw the diamond emitting a soft radiance of its own like a very pale glowworm. As I remember it, he said that the yellower diamonds were slightly more phosphorescent than the first water stones. "By the way. you would be really astonished to know the number of Jewels which also possess ‘self flame’ to a more or less extent, and 1 have often wondered if the alchemists who performed such apparently well authenticated wonders In the middle ages did not know something of phosphorescence and its oddities.”—New Orleans Times-Democrat. What the Eye Tells. Eyes are very treacherous, and those who meddle In amorous matters should know all about them. When the upper lid covers half or more of the pupil, the indication Is of cool deliberation. Au eye the upper lid of which passes horizontally across the pupil indicates mental ability. Unsteady eyes, rapidly jerking from side to side, are frequently Indicative of an unsettled mind. It is said that the prevailing color of eyes among the patients of lunatic asylums are brown and black. Eyes of any color with weak brows and long, concave lashes are indicative of a weak constitution. Eyes that are wide apart are said to indicate great intelligence and a tenacious memory. Eyes of which the whole iris is visible belong to erratic persons, even with a tendency toward Insanity. Wide open, staring eyes in weak countenances indicate Jealousy, bigotry, intolerance and pertinacity without firmness. Strictly Appropriate. One of the pretty Sunday school teachers has a class of little girls, and it is her custom to tell them each Sunday of some little Incident that has happened In the week and request the children to quote a verse ol Scripture to illustrate the story. In this way she hopes to impress the usefulness of Biblical knowledge upon the little ones. Last Sunday she told her class of a cruel boy who would catch cats tfnd cut their tails off. "Now. can any little girl tell me of an appropriate verse?” she asked. There was a pause for a few moments, when one little girl arose and in a solemn voice said: “Whatsoever God has Joined together let no man put asunder.’’-Carthage Press. Told Him. Au old Scottish farmer, being elected a member of the local school board, visited the school and tested the Intelligence of the class by bls questions. The first inquiry was: "Noo. boys, can ony o’ you tell me wbat naethlng is?” After a moment’s silence a small boy I in a back seat arose and replied: “It's wbat ye gl’e me t'other day for haudln yer hourse!''-Loudon Answers. Above Saaplclon. On being Informed that a member of bls race bad been sentenced to the penitentiary for forgery, Brother Dickey exclaimed: “Dat's wbat comes er dis yer eddlcation.
