A YOUNG GIRL'S FORTUNE.

AN INTERESTING SKETCH.

Nothing appeals so strongly to a mother's affection as her daughter just budding into womanhood. Following is an instance: "Our daughter. Blanche, now 15 years of age, had been terribly alllictcd with nervousness, and had lost the entire use of her right arm. She was in such a condition that we had to keep her from school and abandon her music lessons. In fact, we feared St. Vitus dance, and are positive but for an invaluable remedy she would have had that terrible affliction. We had employed physicians, but sne received no benefit from them. The first of last August she weighed but 75 pounds, and although she has taken only three bottles of Nervine she now weighs 106 pounds her nervousness and symptoms of St. Vitus dance arc entirely gone, she attends school regularly, and studies with comfort and case. Sne has recovered complete use of her arm, her appetite is splendid, and no money could procure for our daughter the health Dr. Miles' Nervine has brought her.

When my brother recommended the remedy I had no &ith in patent mcdicines, and would not listen to him, but as a last resort he sent us a bottle, we began giving it to Blanche, and the effect was almost immediate."—Mrs. R. R. Bullock, Brighton. N. Y.

Dr. Miles' Restorative Nervine is sold by all druggists on a positive guarantee,, or sent direct

by

the Dr. Miles Medical Co., Elkhart, lnd., on receipt of price, fl per bottle, six bottles for $5, express prepaid. It is positively free from opiates or dangerous drugs.

Allegations in the Buchanan Divorce Suit—Court News. Indianapolis News.

A suit for divorce prepared by Lewis C. Walker will be filed in the Superior Court in a few days, in wbich Mrs. Ida E. Buchanan, wife of Dr. A. E. Buchanan dentist, will be the plaiuiff. Dr. and Mrs. Buchanan were married January 20, 1886, and havs one child, -onre nW Mrs. Buchanan is a daughter of W. H. Roll. The ceremony was performed at Meridiau street church by the Rev. J. E. Gilbert, assisted by the Rev. Reuben Jeffreys.

The clouds began to gather over the domestic relations of Mr. and Mrs. Buchanan about a year ago. The complaint will allege many acts of cruelty during that time, but the chief of which occurred Saturday, January 20. For three years Mr. and Mrs. Buchanan lived with Mr. Roll's family, and then went to housekeeping. Soon after, Dr. Buchanan built a house on Pennsylvania street, above Seventh street, and they lived there until January 20. That day was the eighth anniversary of their wedding, and Dr. Buchanan, the conplaint will allege on that night took his wife to the theater. After the performance, Dr. Buchanan took her to lunch. It was close to midnight when they reached home. Dr. Buchanan asked his wife to alight and told her the nurse would let her in aside door while he went to the stable with the horse. She stepped from the carriage aud went to the side door. As she entered she was astonished to find her baby clinging to the nurse aud both in tears. The nurse explained that during the absence of Dr. Buchanan aud his wife movers had taken away two wagon-loads of 1 limit lire, leaving the house almost naked and leaving only a bed for the distressed wife. The nurse told Mrs. Buchanan that a letter had been left addressed to her. It was from Dr. Buchanan, aud announced that he had decided that a separation was necessary, and that this determination could be considered final. Mrs. Buchanan notified her father, and since then there has beeu no communicaticu between husband and wife, although Mrs. Buchanan remains at the home. The complaint will probably make other charges, but the one set forth will be the principal one.

Dr. Buchanan was seen at his office today and asked for a statement about the case. He said: "This is a subject on which I do not care to talk much. Others are talking now and I prefer to let them continue. This saparation is no sudden impulse, but has been a seven years' fight. My last effort was when I built my own home. A year ago I decided that if conditions did not change during that period 1 would take the course I have taken. My family has not been treated right by my wife and her relatives. Further than that I do not care to talk."

Dr. Buchanan is about thirty years old. He has property in North Pennsylvania street, Talbott avenue and on the West Side. The complaint will ask aliraony and the custody of the child.

CHICAGO,

Welcome Bain.

The author of "Bound the Compass in Australia" had put up for the night with the manager of a stock farm. It was a time of drought, and the evening passed amid stories of frightful suffering and losses. The manager thought it would be hardly possible to hold out a week longer. "Shady Jack's well is done," he said, "and the Frenchman's tank is empty." His wife tried to encourage him. "Hope for the best," she said. "My oath!" answered the manager, "but the best things never come off." "Yes, Dick," responded his wife, "but the worst things never come off."

Night after night this man had walked the room, alternating between prayers and curses, as each day's record was another thousand sheep dead, another empty well, until at last he had come to this grim courage of despair. "I shouldn't care so much," he said to the. traveler, "but then my wife, my gir]s in there I"

He drew his sleeves across his eyes and bowed liis head on the table. For ten minutes he sa.t there so. Then the visitor saw him raise his head, start, spring to his feet and listen with strained attention. What was that? Something pinged on the corrugated roof overhead. "Rain, rain, rain!" lie shouted as he rushed outside and fell on his knees with his hands stretched out toward the clouded sky. "Thank God! Thank God! Wife! Girls! Mary! Rain!"

Even so. The flood gates, of the sky were opened, and before morning the visitor was helping to put up a dyke on one side of the house. The march of t'estruction was staid.

Hunting Zebras.

After crossing the usual heated yellow plains, looking for all the world like an expanse of overparched hayfields and dotted here and there with droves of springbok, we otitspanned two and so rode back again across the hot, weary plain for camp. We had not long quitted the forest before we sighted a good troop of Burchell's zebra, feeding quietly. We spread out in line and rode up to them.

The troop, which consisted mostly of mares with a yearling foal or two, was guarded by an old stallion, who stood sentinel nearest to us with his head up. Presently, turning half round, he gave some sort of signal and the rest of the band galloped briskly off, curveting and capering as they ran. After moving a few hundred yards the troop suddenly wheeled round in line to have a good look at us again.

These tactics of the zebras were displayed in a retreat of some miles, the old stallion always covering the rear, until the troop, outflanked by Dove, shot off to the right and my chance came. I galloped hard to intercept them, and as t-hey stood for a minute on seeing me in the line of flight, got a steady shot at 200 yards. The bullet clapped as if on a barn door, and as the troop continued their flight I saw one zebra turn away alone. Presently she stood again. I was soon within sixty yards, and with another bullet finished her. She proved to be a line mare in beautiful coat, and her head and skin now decorate a room at home.—Longman's Magazine.

A Story of Millionaire Lick.

James Lick, of San Francisco, was an unlovable millionaire, of whom a curious story is told. When a poor youth in Pennsylvania he was rejected by the daughter of a wealthy miller on account of his poverty. He vowed at that time that he would some day build a mill that would far surpass that of his sweetheart's father. Many years later he kept his vow and constructed at San Jose a mill of highly polished California wood valued at $200,000. During his lifetime Mr. Lick had few friends and apparently cared for none. He lived plainly and was seen very little in public. The larger part of his fortune was left to charities and public institutions, one notable bequest being the sum of $60,000 for the erection of a statue to Key, the author of the "Star Spangled Banner."

While many institutions profited by Mr. Lick's posthumous gifts, his most famous achievement was the establishment of the Lick observatory on Mount Hamilton, under the management of the University of California. Mr. Lick's body was placed in 1887 under the base of the pier sustaining the great telescope. —New York World.

The Value of Thought

It is hardly necessary to say that all men need to "swing" the moral compass from time to time and to take their bearings in the sea of life. The advice is as true as it is conventional. Upon the use of thinking for such purpose* we shall not, then, dwell. We may, however, point out, as a means of strengthening and invigorating the mind in a secular and worldly sense, the habit of thinking is of the greatest possible value.

The minds of those who dread thinking, as if it were a penance, become like the bodies of those fed solely on spoo* meat—soft and unable to stand the slightest strain. Beading, as one ordinarily reads, is like swallowing pap thinking, like eating solid food. The man who trains his mental powers b/ meditation and by following outlines of thought obtains an intellectual instrument a hundred times mac* than he who is contwt MWI It tbiflfll seriously and oomioaMf.
