MI SMJOEDICINE. The Palm Given to Dr. Greene's Nervura.
PREPARE FOR SPRING. « ™s
TUt finiKl Jan. tkt People. Have So ' j ■ . |, TJied by Hundreds of Thousands in . Spring at a Blood Medicine. Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy is indeed “ The World’s Great Spring Medicine. ** It has come to be recognised by almost everylx>dy as the best possible spring medicine to take, and hundreds of thousands of our people use it during the trying spring months, to tone up anew the relaxed nerves, and re-invigorate and enrich
the blood.
A spring medicine is a necessity if one wishes to keep in perfect health and vigor during the changes from winter to summer. This grand spring tonic, this perfect spring medicine. Dir. Greene’s Nervura blood 1 and nerve remedy, is exactly what the system needs at this season. It not only purifies, but makes rich, red blood; it not only strengthens and invigorates the nervous system, but re-energizes and revitalizes the nerves by feeding them with renewed nerve force and power. It is not only an aid to digestion, but it creates a regular, natural and healthy action of the bowels, liver, kidneys, which in the spring are al-
ways sluggish and inactive.
In fast, it is just what people need to make them well and keep them well during these months, so threatening

The Bull consists solely of head, shoulder Find a pair of very long horns, which point to the east, his body being, according to ancient legend, submerged beneath* tjie waves, and therefore invisible, ior this Is Huid to be the identical bull—Jupiter in disguise—which carried Europa from
Phoenicia to the Isle of Crete.
Above the Bull sits Auriga, the Wagoner. This constellation is easily recognized from the nearly regular pentagon formed by its five brighter stars, one of which, Capella, thb She-Goat, in the left shoulder, is usually^ accounted the brightest star in the northern hemisphere. The mcAst southerly of these five stars, in the Wagoner's right foot, is El Nath, not quite up to the secortd magnitude. It forms also the tip of the Bull's northern horn, and Is about equally distant from Capella and Aldebaran. The Bull's southern horn is tipped by a star of the third magnitude, situated between El Nath and Betelguese, in the right shoulder oi Orton, The conspicuous pair of stars seen nearly overhead are the Tw'rs (Gemini), Castor and Pollux, the latter of which, the more southerly, is the brighter of the two and is classed among the first
magnitude stars.
Below Auriga, and in midheavens, in the northwest, stands Perseus, containing two stars of the second magnitude, the lower of which, as the constellation is now postal. Is the famous variable star Algol, the Demon. At the right of Perseus and at a low altitude between north and northwest, is the W-shaped figure of Cassiopeia, the Lady in Her Cnair.

In most cases, thougli not in all. the companion is a dark body jind is. of course, invisible. Out of 2S5 stars on the list, thirty-one have been discovered at the 'Lick, obser^iatory to be "spectroscopic binaries," and three other binaries in the same list were previously discovered by another observer, making thirty-four' in all. That is, more than one star in nine in this list has proved to be a spectroscopic binary, and P is altogether probable, sayS Professor Campbell, that many other stars In the list are binaries awaiting discovery- He adds: "The proven existence of so large a number of stellar systems differing widely in structure from the solar system gives rise to a suspicion, at least, that our system Is not of the prevailing type of
stellar systems."
Of especial Interest among the stellar systems thus discovered, are the Pole Star and Capella, the former of which has been found by Campbell to be a triple system, two of the components being dark bodies and the latter by Campbell and independently by Mr. Newall, in England, to be a binary, of which the components have about equal mass and are both luminous. The two bodies which form Capella revolve about each other in a period of 104 days in an orbit which is probably of nearly the size of the earth's orbit. It has lately been announced that at the Greenwich Observatory Capella has been seen as a visually double star, with the twenty-eight-inch refractor, “through two and a half’revolutions at every available opportunity.” Professor Hussey, at the Lick Observa-

First, i retrograding rapidly—moving westward each of these pole? describes very slowly i which it will pass bea circle In the heavens, having a radius ^ orp c ^ ose Lhe month,
of 23% degrees, in a direction contrary to tiiat of the hands of a clock. This movement is caused by a certain wabbling motion of the earth as it spins on its axis— a top-like movement—but so slowly performed that the time recuired by the poles to make one complete revolution, is about 26,000 years. The moving poles drag witn them, of course, the celestial equator, every point in which is. and must always be ninety degrees distant from each pole. The celestial equator is, therefore, continually shifting its place among the stars, one consequence of the movement being that the two points at which the equator crosses the- ecliptic, or sun’s path, are slowly sliding along that great circle of the heavens, in a direction from east to west. This movement, known as the “precession of the equinoxes.” occasions astronomers a deal of troubie, since they have found it convenient in cataloguing celestial objects to give their positions with reference to the vernal equinox and the celestial equator, as places are located tn terrestrial geography by longitude and latitude, and these reference positions being themselves unstable, star catalogues soon become out of date. To avoid this source o* uncertainty, it is necessary alwavs to give the “epoch” of the catalogue, as
equinox of 1870, 1890, etc.
The poles have still another slight movement, known as ‘ nutation,” due to a minor wabbling of the earth occasioned by the circumstance that our terrestrial giobe Is loaded by the moon. This movement, a sort of tremor of the earth's axis, has a period of nineteen years. To determine and record these movements of the poles with the utmost possible accuracy, a series of photographic observations has been planned at the Helsingfors Observatory in Finland. A specially constructed telescope is rigidly mounted and directed to the north pole, and with it photographs of the close circumpolar stars will be taken, with a long exposure. The result will be that the Instrument being stationary, the stars will leave upon the plates trails forming the arcs of circles, the center of each part'al circle being, of course, the true pole at the time of the taking of each photograph. The photographs thus secured are to be sent for measurement to the Columbia College observatory. New York, that observatory possessing special facilities for doing w-ork of this kind.

TROOPS LEAVING CHINA. American Forces Are the First to
Withdraw.
PEKIN, March 4.—The American preparations for departure are going actively forward. All supplies, except for two companies, have been packed and marked for Manila. * The British plans contemplate a summer along the Pel-Ho and general withdrawal of forces to India, leaving behind, by next winter, half a battalion of Welsh Fusilllers as a legation guard at Pekin, together with an Indian regiment to guard the railroad. The Germans show few signs of intention to depart, but they are endeavoring to sell fifty thousand American and Australian horses, as well as a quantity of
camels.
It is also said the French intend to withdraw most of their forces, leaving one infantry brigade, a regiment of cavalry and some artillery to protect the French legation and to guard the lines
of communication.
Another Expedition. LONDON, March 4.—According to the Tien-Tsin correspondent of the Standard, wiring Friday, Count von Waldersee has Issued renewed orders to the allied forces to hold themselves in readiness for a possible expedition March 7. The Shanghai correspondent of the Standard says it is reported there that Prince Chuang has been strangled.
I believe woman’s greatest strength is her beauty. Beauty always has, does and always will control the destinies of men. Kings have been dethroned and dynasties have perished, wars have been waged and great generals have proved perfidious by this magic power. Not all the wisdom of Solomon was proof against its charm. Its power did not cease when the blood of King David ran cold in his veins, or when from the walls of Troy the Helen of whom blind Homer sang looked down on the dead heroes who fell because she was fair. The sensuous Cleopatra vras not the last woman to make a great soldier forget his wife, country and self to lie at her perfumed feet. Therefore. 1 say to you, by all means make yourself attractive. There Is no surer way to do this than by good health. It brings brightness to the eye. color to the cheek; it gives animation in conversation and revives all the qualities that allure and bind man to woman. The beaten path to wretchedness is that of ill-health. Beauty wrecked at twenty Is not*an uncommon sight; many women fade before they are thirty; are wholly broken down before middle-age is reached. No woman with a dyspeptic stomach or sluggish liver, or nerveracked body, ever did or ever will re-
ceive the consideration and admiration which a healthy woman commands. Nothing more quickly tells the real condition of a woman's health than the appearance of her skin—there Is no surer sign of a perfect physique than an unblemished complexion. It 1* the first feature of fair womanhood to attract attention—it is something all women desire. And I further assert that no woman can expect to have a fresh, clear, youthful complexion whose blood and liver are out of order. You might as well attempt to cleanse the inside of a bottle by washing on the outside as to try to cure most facial blemishes and skin eruptions through the use of any lotions, salves or cosmetics. I declare that no outw’ard application will eradicate those blemishes while the blood and liver are not in a healthy condition. Concealments of defects can be but temporary—it is never a cure. Therefore, I say to all who are afflicted with pimples, eruptions, liver spots or sallow complexions, take my Liver and Blood Cure in alternation. These little pellets are pleasant to take, and when used in conjunction with my Witch Hazel Soap you will be surprised at the transformation in your skin and complexion. The Soap is a skin food and vitallker, and will improve any com-
plexion, no matter how fair, making th* tkin soft a3 velvet. I can not too highly recommend my Witch Hagel Soap for the toilet It will positively cure chapped hand* and lip* In a single night. It will smooth the roughest skin and impart to it the glow and treshness of youth. It will allay all irritations. It will quickly heal scratches, wounds and sore* of all sorts.

It wlil prevent th* hair from falling out and give it new life and vitality. To every mother in the land, I can most conscientiously recomtrend my soap for the baby.

POSITIONS.OF THE PRINCIPAL STARS WHICH ARE ABOVE THE HORIZON MARCH 1. 15, 31, AT 9, 8, 7 P. M.
Miss Mullen Rescued After a Night of Horror — The Minahall Family’s Experience. Miss Mary Mullen, who is now In Indianapolis working in the Methodist churches in the interests of foreign missions. recently returned from the west coast of Africa where she had charge of a missionary station. Miss Mullen’s home is in Lindsey, O., and she went from that city to the African mission field. Her early experiences in the new field on the west coast were of a character which she will never forget and tt was due wholly to her devotion and courage that she escaped being killed. The Bev. Mr. Minshall, pastor of the United Brethren church In this city, was a missionary in the same district with Miss Mullen and tells an interesting story of the incidents which followed shortly after her arrival
in the new field.
This was in 1898, and Miss Mullen’s station was fifty miles from the coast on the Jong river, in Sierra Leone. Her district included a number of small villages scattered along the river banks, and her duties were to instruct the people in the principles of Christianity, teach the children and care for the sick. She had not been long in her new homo when one of those sporadic insurrections broke out among the blacks, and spread rapidly up and down the river. Tikonko and Bogo, both close to Miss Mullen s station, were the hotbeds of the outbreak. Momailgee, where Miss Mullen lived, was four miles from Bogo. where a few years ago English soldiers burned alive 110 men for the crime of cannibalism, and the blacks, nursing the memory of that slaughter, attacked that town first. The native soldiers fled before the attack and their commanding officer, together with all other English-speaking people or those wearing English clothes, were murdered. Miss Mullen was warned *of the attack on Bogo, and was urged to escape by boat while there was time, and travel to Bonthe, the capital of the province, but she refused. The same night the savage blacks who had attacked Bogo entered Momaligee and
sacked the village.
They saved the missionary-house for the last, so that Miss Mullen, who was the only white person in the village, could suffer (he torture of seeing her friends and pupils slaughtered. Throughout the night she remained in the mission-house, while hundreds of naked savages pa ratted the streets, running down and killing every person they could find and burning the houses. A heavy guard remained in
front of her house all night. Rescued by Soldiers.
By mornins the mission-house was the only one left standing, and Miss "Mullen, knowing there was no chance of escape
That night the two .families put to sea In an open boat, scantily provisioned, and for three days were at the mercy of the waves. Fortunately the weather remained clear but there was much suffering because of the Intense heat. May 3 the members of the party were rescued and taken to Freetown, where they met Miss Mullen and learned of her escape. Special Meetings Close. The three weeks’ special meetings, conducted Jointly by Trinity Congregational and Hoyt-avenue Methodist Protestant churches, by evangelist Johnson, his singing leader, Mr. Martin, and the pastors of the churches, closed with three services yesterday. The evening service in Trinity church lasted three hours, the last hour of which consisted principally of farewell talks and in exchanges of “good-bys" between the people and the evangelist and singer. Many in the congregation had to stand during the long service. Evangelist Johnson uses direct methods In his work. In exhorting the people who had stood, by request, to signify that they were Christians. to use their influence on other members of the family and on their neighbors, he asked: "How many of the women present have husbands who attend their lodge meetings and clubs so regularly that when Sunday comes thev need rest, they say, and Just can not come to church?" A dozen hands were lifted. “There are more than that," the preacher said, ''bqt others of you are afraid to say so." The enthusiasm got so high in the afternoon service that one woman handed her hat to a man to hold, and marched up and down the aisles during the service, shouting, "[ am so happy!" "Praise the Lord. He will never leave us!” and shaking hands with those on the platform and others. The special meetings have been well attended throughout, and there were over ninety conversions.
Mr. Coffin Discusses Judas.
One of the features of the Central-ave-nue M. E. Sunday-school Is the Business Men's Bible Class, which meets at 9:30 a. m. It has a membership of about 125, from gray-haired men to smooth-faced youths. Some member of the class leads the *discussIon every Sunday morning. The speaker yesterday was Charles F. J.'offln, whose topic was “Judas, the Betrayer.” It was a-historical talk and religious view of Judas, and, blended with it, were numerous moral lessons intended for business men of to-day.

John said' Judas was a thief. The betrayer of Christ, Mr.
Coffin said, was a coward.

The rehonirg party was followed for miles down the river, but reached Bonthe in safety, and Miss Mullen was sent on to Freetown until the outbreak had been quelled. The escape of the Rev.

Christian Science. “Christian Science" was the subject of the lecture by the Rev. R. V. Hunter last night, at the Seventh Presbyterian church. He considered it to be on a higher plane than spiritualism, as the latter rests entirely upon a foundation of tricks and shams, but he thought It rather queer If, as the Christian Scientists claim, ail things are spiritual and nothing materia), Mr*.
