Conceding much to tho divine gift, to inborn power of the young artist, let it not for a moment be assumed that even she has found any royal road to fame. Could genius ever be truly defined as au infinite capacity for taking pains, this were certainly the case with miniature-painting. The unitiated cannot possibly conceive of the nerve and eye and brain toil represented by one of there tiny masterpieces. First comes the study of the personality, and Amelia Kussner often devotes an entire sitting to this without touching a brush. She paints entirely from life and once the entity is grasped, the sketching iti is rapidly done. Then the painting, the actual labor, begins. Not a stroke of all the innumerable strokes ot the infinitesimally small brushes but must be made under a powerful magnifying-glasa. Each gossimer touch must also bo no loss sure than delicate; for the fragile little ivory shield into which the warm colors melt, as harmonics blend in mus : c, may bo ruinously jarred by a single

false note.

Strangely enough, Amelia Kussner’s star began to rise with the panic, during the distressful summer of ’93. Soon after her araival she received a letter of introduction to a New York woman of wealth, social hlUfortance, and artistic appreciation.

the time of the discovery of his death. Matkins was a widower and lived alone at the above described place, and it was supposed that he died Friday night. Mr Whitlock said: “I think Charlie was murdered. The boys here know that he had at least $7 or $8 in his pocket when he left the shop, and now his money is gone. Charles was here on Thursday, and about 8 o’clock at night he walked down Topeka avenue with me as far as my home. He was all

right then.

“Charlie was an inoffensive man, and I never knew him. to drink to excess. There is certainly something vrong about this. I heard Charley tell some of the boys only a few days ago that he was 37 years old.” Mr. Whitlock must have been mistaken about the time of Matkins’ death, as the neighbors saw him at the house about 6 o’clock Friday evening. The police are inclined to think that the man died a natural death for the reason that the doors were found locked and no evidence that any one had been in the house except Matkins. Coroner McCollister and Dr. McClees, however, take a different view of the matter. They were the first to open the house, and they think there is plenty of evidence that the man was murdered The doors were all locked, but when Coroner McCollister burst in the south door of the Matkins house he says they found the key lying on the door siii, and he believes that some one locked the door from the outside and stuck t ie key under the door. Mr. Matkins’ clothes were found scattered around the room, and in tho middle of the floor was a new false face. It was a hideous thing with red mouth and green eyes, and had a string tied across the back ot considerable length. When Coroner McCollister put the mask over his face and the string over his hat it fit snugly. Dr. McClees made an examination, and he is convinced that the man was killed with a sand bag. There are marks on his head and small bruises on his hands, which look like they might have been made with a sand bag filled with gravel. Tho supposition is that Mr. Matkins held his hands over his head to ward off the blows,

and thi hands.

FACTS FOR OUR READERS. Follow Nature and Keep Well, a

Good Rule.

The Questionlis Important, are You Prepared lor Spring? If Not, Here is Some Very Necessary Information for You. Nature will soon begin her annual struggle for freedom from winter’s icy imprisonment. Already beneath the frozen surface, giant forces are moving in that direction. Purification is going on. It is the same with the human system. The lengthening days are approaching when the blood seeks to recover from its sluggish inactivity, and it bears in its course germs of health or disease, as it has stored up the one or the other. It requires therefore to be enriched with vitalizing and health giving qualities to give tone, vigor and health

to the system.

For this needed and beneficial service nothing is so powerful as Dr. Greene's Ner\ura blood and nerve remedy. Like Nature's own wondrous remedies in the physical wot Id. which purify the mountains and streams as they leap from their confines to fill the valleys with new life, and cover orchard and field with flower and fruit, ft brings new force and health to wasted tissues and enfeebled nerves. Now Is the time when your nature calls for help. Don't mistake; no other remedy equals Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy us a spring medicine. No other remedy will so quickly and certainly strengthen your nerves, invigorate your blood, and correct the action of all your organs. It will make you well and strong as it has done thousands of persons; as it did Mrs. W. A. Cutler, of 5» Orchard St.,

Worcester, Mass.

“A year ago,” she says, “I fell ill with nervous pioitration and neuralgia, which affected my whole system. My digestion was also vey poor. After eating I would be taken with u smothering sensation, while the palpitation of the heart was terrible. "Severe nervous headaches made my life miserable in conuection with these other troubles. I was in a fearful condition, and became greatly discouraged. I consulted physicians ami treated with them, but with no benefit. Nothing I took did me any good. “Finally as a last resource, I commenced to use Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy, which had been wonderfully praised to me. With the first bottle I noticed an improvement, and prosevering in its use, I continued to steadily gain in every respect. “My nervousness was goon cured. The neuralgia, headaches, palpitation of the heart, iudigestiou and ail my complaints entirely left me. All this was accomplished by Dr. Greene’s Nervura blood aud nerve

remedy.

Money and Law. Cleveland Plain Dealer.

Some people think that law hasn’t much to do with money. They scout at the idea of flat money, and seem to think that money is a sort ofa natural product that comes into existence in some mysterious way. Every day the people of this country are taking lessons on the money question. They see declining markets all around them; wheat lower than ever before in the history of the world; cotton, corn, wool and all products not controlled by trusts a drug on the market. So low that there is no profit to the man who produces them, and very little to those who handle them. They seethe gold that used to be so abundant in our banks and in the national treasury fast flowing away into foreign countries; they listen to the arguments of financiers such as John Sherman and the bank presidents of the eastern states, and hear them advocate the gold standard, and yet they know that it takes twice as much wheat to buy a dollar, 50 per cent more hours of work in exchange for a dollar, and that it is twice as hard to pay off a $1,000 mortgage on a house or farm as it used to be. These are forceful object lessons, the people are learning them by heart and by dear experience. They know that something is wrong, that the times are out of joint, that trade is dull, that about 30 percent of workmen are out of employment, that the coal mines cannot sell their products, and consequently tho miners are hungry,

No power of words can describe the wonderful Rood which this remedy is doinn among the sick and suffering. Those who take it are cured.

Such people need this best of all spring medicines, Dr. Greene’s Nervura blood and nerve remedy, to restore the natural action of these organs, give strength and vigor to the nerves, and new life and vitality to the*

blood.

If you take this medicine, you can consider yourself under Dr. Greene’s direct professional care, and you can consult him or write to him about your case, freely and without charge. This is a guarantee tb it this medicine will cure, possessed by no other medicine in the world. Hon. T. T.
