SURROUNDED BY MYSTERY!

A Great Mistake.

A roornt discovery is that headache, dizziness, dullness, confusion of the mind, eti-., are due to dorauKement of the nerve centers vhieh supply the brain with nerve force; that Indigestion, dyspepsia, neuralgia, wind In stomach, etc., arise from the derangement of the nerve centers supplying these organs with nerve fluid or force. This is likewise true of many disease- of the heart and lungs. The nerve system Is like a telegraph system, as will lx. seen by the accompanying

cut. The little white lines a r a the nerves which convey the nerve force from t h o nerve centers to every part of l he body, just as the electric current Is conveyed along the telegraph wires to e v e r y station, large or small. Ordinary physicians fail to regard this fact; Instead of treating l he nerve centers for thee.iuse of the disorders ui I sing therefrom they t r e at the

part affected. Franklin Miles,

statement, and his Restorative Nervine Is prepared on that principle. Its success in curing all diseases arising from derangement of the nervous system is wonderful, as the thousands of unsolicited te-tlmo-

ON ITS OWN RAILS!

THE GAME OF GOLF.

A. Favorite Old Pastime of the Scotch People.

It Is Now Very Popular with Americans Who Have the Time anti Means to I*lay It—How the (lame Is Played.

Oolf Is fastltocominjf popular. Among Society people it has tfot to be quite the thintf. This favorite Scotch grume can be traced so far back that the exact date of its origin is lost. While its adoption in this country has been slow, it is now firmly rooted, says the Cincinnati Enquirer, and this season promises to be its greatest In their search for something new the society folk have seized upon it, and many are learning the game. Golf Is not limited to any particular class of individuals. I.tidies and children can play the game as well as men, and in nearly all the golf clubs which have recently been orjjenlzed the women show as keen tin Interest us the men themselves. Its devotees claim there is no game under the sun like golf, and as a thoroughly health-giving exercise it possesses all of the necessary qualities. The first regular club organized in this country was the St. Andrew’s Golf club, whose grounds are now situated at Gray Oaks, a short distance above Yonkers, but within the corporation limits. This club was organized in IBS'S, and for the first few years the members played on various fields around Yonkers. This year, however, new grounds have been secured at Gray Oaks, where the game can be played on a more systematic basis. A farm of about 25<) acres has been secured, and the oldfashioned farmhouse has been converted into a comfortable and cozy clubhouse. i

The grounds, or links, cover a space of about two miles, and there are in this circuit nine holes. The holes are about four and one-fourth inches in diameter, and arc placed in what tire called putting greens. These putting greens nre well-leveled plots of ground from forty-five to sixty feet square, and the object is to drive the ball into the holes with the fewest numlter of strokes. The circuit leads over hills, sometimes across streams, ditches, railroad tracks, as the case may be, and the skill of the player is shown in lofting his ball over these difiieult places or hazards, as they are called, to a position where he can get a good stroke to send it down to the next hole. Each time the ball is “holed” it is taken out and placed on what is termed the "teeing’’ ground, a short distance from the holes. The player, in starting his ball again in play, may, if he desires, take a little soft earth, and. making a mound about half an inch to an inch in height, place his ball on top of this, which is the "tee,” and then drive it as far us he can toward the next hole. While in play the ball must not be touched or moved from the spot where it falls. Should the ball land on one of the hazards, as in the bottom of a ditch or close to a railroad track or a stone wall, it may require several .strokes to place it in a more favorable position. It will be seen that such a state of affairs may count seriously against a player, since it is desirable to make as few strikes as possible. The bn 11s are made of guttn perebn, very hard, and about one and one-half inches in diameter. They are struck with clubs, with long, slender shafts, at one end of which are projecting heads of hardwood, backed with lead or malleable iron. There are several different shapes of the striking ends, adapted to the varieties of play, as long drives, raising the ball in the air to clear an obstruction and others. When these various features are understood, together with the fact that before finishing a game the player walks fully two miles and sometimes more, and that, too, over hills and many rough places, there is no question about the exercise afforded by golf. Then, as there is no time limit, the players can rest as much as they please in going the rounds of the links.

ONLY THE REFLECTION.

Horrible Thought Prodncecl by the Focus of » Window Pane.

Only Twelve Men to Bo Found In Ileth Hranchea -Passing Away. The men who enjoyed prominence in the military and civil service of the confederacy are rapidly passing from the arena of national polities, says the Augusta Chronicle. Below is a record of such ns are still in active life at Washington: The senior United States senator from Alabama, John T. Morgan, was a brigadier general in the confederate army; and her other senator, James L. l J ugh, was a member of the confederate congress. Joseph Wheeler, who attained the rank of lieutenant general in the confederate service, lias for twelve years been the representative in congress from the Eighth Alabama district. The senior senator from Georgia, John B. Gordon, was likewise a lieutenant general in the army of the confederacy. Edward C. Walthall, of Mississippi, a major general in the confederate service, and of late the junior United States senator from his native state, while not now in active politics, having resigned for the balance of his present term in the upper house, has been elected for and is confidently expected to take his seat in that honorable body in March, 1895. The senior United States senator from Missouri, Francis M. Cockrell, was a brigadier general in the confederate army; and the other senator from that commonwealth, George G. Vest, held positions in both houses of the confederate congress. The present senior United States senators from both North and South Carolina, Matt W. Ransom and M. C. Butler, were major generals in the confederate service. The representatives from Tennessee in'the upper house of congress are Isltam G. Harris, the senior, and William B. Bate, who is the junior senator from that commonwealth. The first mentioned was a war governor of his native state and the last named was a major general in the confederate army. And lastly, Eppa llunton. who saw service as brigadier general in the confederate army, at present occupies the position of junior senator from Virginia in the congress of the United States./ Thus do we perceive that of the multitude of those who distinguished themselves in the military and civil annals of the confederacy only twelve remain in national halls.

IN OFFICE SIXTY-FOUR YEARS.

Th« ItiToni of an Octogenarian t’ostmastrr In tiie Buckeye Stato. Postmaster General Bissell has found a man in the postal service whose experience lias interested him so greatly that he contemplates making use of a recent letter written by this man in preparing his annual report, says a writer in the New York Times. W. II. Wallace, Sr., postmaster at iliunmondsville, O., now eighty-two years of age, wrote two fair pages of letter paper recently without noticeable error ol composition and in good, firm hand, to give the secretary his experience in brief. He has been sixty-four years in the postal service, having held office under thirty postmaster generals, lie began when he was still a boy, and has been the postmaster at Uammondsville many years. When he was first postmaster, and the charge for letters was twenty-five cents for four hundred miles or over, he had taken two bushels of oats, or two bushels of potatoes, or five dozen of eggs, or four pounds of butter, or two-thirds of a bushel of wheat, or fine and one-third pounds of common wool as a fair compensation in kind for the postage. The postage on thirty-two such letters, he says, would be about equivalent to the price i >f a gi >od milch cow. The postmasters were expected to look out that letters were written on one sheet of paper; if they were on two sheets tha postage was to be double. Mr. Wallace gives some entertaining accounts of his many long trips over the mountains before the railroads were constructed, indicating that he was a traveled man many years before there was much traveling between the east and the west. That he is a pretty capable citizen at his age is plain from the fact that, besides being postmaster, he is the station agent for the Pennsylvania railroad at Hammondsvillc.

They sat on the sofa. They it ad just come to a mutual understanding, and he had measured her linger for the engagement ring, and they were in the first throes of tender reminiscence. “Do you remember,” he said, in a trembling voice—“you do not remember when you first saw me?” Yes. 1 do.” “Did any thrill or throb tell yotir heart this happy moment would come? No, that could not be expected." "Y*s. something did seem to whisper that we might become man and wife.” “My darling!” he said, and he kissed her fondly. "Yes, I remember I saw you from the window, leaving the house, and 1 thought how awful it would be to marry a bandy-legged man; but it was only the glass in the window tha. was uneven and made you look so.”

The Seller Sold. A good story is told about a transaction in pigeons in which a crafty dealer overreached himself. A Philadelphia man went to a dealer to purchase a dozen homing pigeons, and .van both surprised and delighted at the extremely low price asked for the birds. The bargain was finally concluded, and the pigeons delivered. Two weeks later the gentleman happened to be passing, when the dealer stopped him and asked how the birds were getting on. “I don’t know,” replied the gentleman. “I have not yet heard from my friend ” “Yotir friend 0 ” “Ye*; I bought them for a man in San Francisco.” The dealer's jaw fell in dismay, and then, with a rueful ktugh, h" admitted that he had sold the buds so cheaply |^.e R v«e he knew that on being released they would immediately return to their old home. But from San Francisco! It was a clear case of Ihu liltr beUtg

AN ALL-NIGHT TOWN.

The Store* of Hunihurr Ar« Open Every Hour In the Twenty-four. Hamburg may be suitably described as an all-night town. The cafes and beer saloons do not shut until two in the morning, while some of them, by paying an additional license, are allowed to remain open all day and all night. Many of the shops never close. At three a. m. the tobacconists are still open, and at this hour there are several shops at which you san procure hot refreshments—sausages, so dear to the German inner man, and the like. At various points men station themselves throughout the night with the little stoves on which they fry pork sausages One may often see swell folk, ladies included, chatting with these itinerant vendors, and regaling themselves with a somewhat odoriferous sausage at three o'clock in the morning. The bakers’ shops seem to lie always open, says.a writer in Pearson's Weekly. I visited one of the largest cafes at Hamburg at the unearthly hour of threethirty in the morning and there found about three hundred respectable people calmly drinking their coffee as if it were broad daylight. There was not a single vacant table. Remember, it was not a night club, but an orderly cafe, where no unseemly scenes are permitted. There are some curious restrictions regarding the opening of shops on Sundays in Hamburg. After twi>-tliirty o'clock a tobacconist may only sell one cigar to one person; should you require half a dozen smokes you have to visit half a dozen shops or take five friends with you to one establishment and each of you buy one cigar. There is a heavy penalty for breaking this rule. With the exception of the restaurants and tobacconists, only the dried fish shops are to be seen open after two-thirty o’clock. As the clock strikes midnight on Sunday hundreds of shops are immediately opened, and a brisk trade ensues. Between midnight on Sunday and two o’clock on Monday morning many tradesmen do their best business of the week, notwithstanding the fact that at this hour nothing that cannot be bought at any other time is really required.

“The largest rose bush in the United States is in Mobile, Ala.,” said a citizen of New Orleans to a reporter for the St. Louis Globe-Democrat. “It belongs to the species which, in common parlance, is known as the 'Cluster musk rose, and blossoms so luxuriously that during the season from three to four bushels of roses have been gathered iu one week, and when shedding its

petals the ground beneath is completely covered with its rragrant blossoms. Its trunk for five feet from the ground, is nearly a foot in circumference, and it has been estimated that if its branches grew on one continuous vine it would exceed a mile in length. These branches have entirely covered the side of the house near which the bush grows, and have extended to the neighboring trees surrounding ,it, so that when it is in bloom it forms a per-

fect bower of roses.”

Congressmen sometimes adopt queer expedients to gain the good will of their constituent . Years ago, a member from a western state was afraid that his first term would be his last, as he hud not managed to make himself a power in congress. While he was de bating what he should do, a friend said: “You live near the center of the United States, don t you?” “Yes.” “Then, why don’t you introduce a bill to have the capital moved to the principal town in vour district?” The | congressman introduced the bill, aud the people of his district at once goni eluded he was a creat man and sent him back for another term. He rbintroJuied the bill in tli,- 11»■ vt congress.

They Will He Welcome In » Land Where I)uKt ami Moth Prevail. We have had a great variety of carpet materials, first and last, and a good many uses have been made of paper, but the two have never before been identified. Now, however, we are informed that carpets are being made of paper, and the following description of tiie process is made public: The stock used must lie of long fiber, says the Paper World, in order to give strength to the paper. All such ns are to be colored must be dyed iu the pulp to obtain uniform color throughout. Colors must be fast. Every lot of the same color must match to shade, as it cannot be changed when once done. The paper must be of uniform thickness througfiout tiie width and length of the r >11, for though color may be right, coarse yarn will not shade alike. 'As the yarn is twisted on a long frame, the utmost cleanliness must be observed not to stain the yarn with oil or dirty fingers, for, unlike the other yarn, it is not cleansed, hence, if dirty and not discovered by subsequent handling, it goes into tiie carpet and to the consumer. . . . When the rolls of cut paper are the desired height, the shaft is taken out, the nut removed and the shaft drawn out, leaving the paper, each strip with its ring to be separated from the other by a knife for that purpose. After separation these little rolls are soaked in water until thoroughly impregnated, then taken out and left to drain, when it is ready for the spinning frame, and it is twisted like any other yarn. The yarn is then dried, wound into cops, and is then ready for the loom.

to the notice of the Record. He was a man who had faith in his watch. This was partly because he had paid a large sum for it and partly because he was a man who believed that things which belonged to him must lie good because they did belong to him. His friends joked him about his faith, but he remained firm. When he went to take the train from his suburban home in the morning he did it by his watch, and when he left the big station downtown in the morning ho compared it with the great clock in the tower to see if tiie tower clock was right. When the train pulled into the station one morning the other passengers got up to leave the ear, but the man remained seated. “What’s the matter, Mason?" said one of his friends. “Aren’t you going to get off?” “No, sir,” said Mason, consulting His timepiece. “I’m not—not until we arrive, at least. This train doesn't get into the city until 8:10, and by my watch it’s only 8:12.”

The Speedy M«o®e.

To one who knows nothing of big game, it is amazing to see how fast a moose can run, his stride being much longer than a horse. A light freight train was running on the Northern Pacific, in the upper part of Minnesota, when the engineer saw a big moose r.tnudiug directly on ll.c track, aud as soon as the animal saw the engine he took to his heels down the. track. There was a perfectly straight run for four miles, and the engineer determined to test the speed of the moose, of which he had frequently heard. At first the gait of the mwose was a sort of trot, and even when the engine gained speed the animal did not seem to exert itself. Faster and faster sped the engine, but still the moose trotted ahead, and all the power of steam eonld Pot prevail over this monarch of the forest. At last, after covering four miles and turning a curve, they
