" For ten years,” he said, “ I have been nervous and growing worse all these years. During the last lour or five years I became so nervous I could scarcely sign my name so it could be read. I was so nervous that I could not read my own sermon notes after they had been laid aside Awhile. “ I eras unable to hold my head steady in the pulpit, nor could I hold or handle say hooks and papers without embarrassment, owing to the trembling and weakness of my hands and arms. I was so nervous that I could scarcely feed myselr In fact, my nervous system was wrecked. “ I tried many remedies recommended by physicians, but found no permanent relief. “One day I was in the store of R. 8. Ogden, at Bardie, W. Va., and be said to met •You take two bottles of Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy, and if you say it don’t help you, you deed rfot pay for it’ _ . “ I took two bottles of this medicine and found so much relief that I bought two mors bottles, and now lam wonderfully improved in health and in strength. Dr. Greene's Her* vura blood and nerve remedy did it I can heartily and truthfully recommend it to the sick. Too much cannot be said in praise of this splendid medicine.

Lost His Grip.

"I have lost my grip.” This phrase is applied by men to an kinds of failure*. One of the technical usages of losing one’s grip Is in the case of telegraph operators. Many of the most skilled operators suffer at times from a loss of “grip," and are compelled to give way tempor-' arily to a substitute. This “grip” Is the hold on the key, and the moment the operator begins to lose the control of this "grip” he realizes a rest, although for only a brief time, is due him. Another, but unpleasant, term applied to this loss of “grip” is “telegraphers’ paralysis.” It shows Itself In many curious ways, all showing that the muscles brought Into play In working the keys are badly worn. One of the most skillful operators In Louisville, who is subject to these attacks, cannot send “P.” The Morse manual calls for five dots for this letter. The operator in question has, by some hook or crook, lost the power to stop at the fifth dot, and it is a common thing for him to warn the taker to look out for his “P’s.” Recently he asked a fellow-operator to watch him send “P’s,” and to stop him at the end of the fifth dot. It resulted that, although he would be warned at the fourth dot, the fingers, no longer mastered by the brain, would continue dotting beyond! the fifth.—SL Louis Republic.

A Senth Dakota Mother and Her Littl* Girl Kxpreaxe# Their Gratitude in an Open Letter. Folsom, Custer Co., South Dakota, Dec. 10—(SpeclaL)—Mrs. H. D. Hyde has given for publication a letter expressing her unbounded gratitude to Dodd’s Kidney Pills for the double cure of herself and little daughter. Mrs. Hyde has been troubled with pains in her heart for over three years, and for a long time her little girl suffered from weak kidneys. The grateful lady does not seem able to find words strong enough to express her gratitude. She has written the following: I cannot say too much in praise of Dodd’s Kidney Pills. They are the greatest kidney and heart medicine I ever used. I had been troubled for over three years with a severe pain in my heart, which entirely disappeared after I had taken a few doses of Dodd’s Kid ney Tills. I also- gave them to my lit* tie girl, whose kidneys had been weak, and she commenced to improve from the very first dose. Dodd’s Kidney Pills are certainly a wonderful medicine. I would be pleased to have this, my statement, published, as I feel it my duty to let others know just what the Pills will do for them. MRS. H. D. HYDE. Dodd’s Kidney Pills always pure. 60c * box.

OLEO BILL WINS OUT.

Grout Measure Taxing Colored Butter* in# Passed bj a Decisive Vote. The Grout oleo bill was passed by the House of Representatives by a vote of 198 to 92. The bill was fiercely contested and the vote surprised the advocates of colored butterine, who did not look for such a decisive defeat. Representative Lorimer’s substitute bill, to prevent the sale of oleomargarine as butter, was defeated by 17ff to 113. Several heated personal encounters between Mr. Lorimer and his opponents marked the course of the debate. The bill as passed makes all articles known as oleomargarine, butterine, invitation butter or imitation cheese transported into any State or territory for consumption or sale subject to the police power of such State or territory, but prevents any State or territory from forbidding the transportation or sale of such product when produced and sold free from coloration in imitation of butter. The bill Increases the, tax on oleomargarine colored in imitation of butter from 2 to 10 cents a pound and decreases the tax on oleomargarine uncolored from 2 cents to *4 cent a pound. Mr. Grout produced figures to show that oleomargarine cost less than D cents a pound and was worked off on the public'" by the retailer at from 18 to 30 cent# a pound. He gave a practical illustration Of the manner in which— oleomargarine Is sold by having brought into the House a boxful of packages of what looked like butter. Each was wrapped in brown wrapping paper. The packages were passed around, and after they had been examined Mr. Grout defied any one to tell whether they contained butter or oleomargarine. Then he turned up a corner s’ ibe wrapping paper which had been apparently carelessly folded down and displayed the printed sign “Oleomargarine.”

WARSHIP BIDS OPEN.

Navy Department Has Estimates for Eleven New Vessels. Bids have been opened at the Navy Department for the construction of five new battleships and six armored cruisers, aggregating a total displacement of 154,000 tons, and comprising the largest consignment of material for the navy ever contracted for at a single bidding. Three of the five new battleships, the Pennsylvania, the New Jersey, the Georgia, the Virginia and the Rhode Island, are to be sheathed and coppered and will carry superimposed turrets; the other two are to be unsheathed vessels, having the “quadrilateral arrangement” of eight-inch turrets. Each ship will carry four 12-inch guns. These are of the extraordinary length of forty calibers, or twenty feet in the bore, of the new type just turned out by the ordnance bureau, and superior in efficiency to any 12-inch giin in the world, and at least equal to the 13-inch guns which have marked the maximum caliber In the American navy. In the three sheathed vessels, a pair of 8-inch guns will be mounted on the top of each of the 12-inch turrets. Four other 8-inch guns will be distributed in two turrets amidships on these two vessels. The unsheathed vessels will have eight 8-inch guns mounted in four independent turrets. Both classes of vessels, sheathed, and unsheathed, will have a broadside of twelve 6-inch rapid-fire guns on the main deck, besides twelve 14-pound-ers, twelve 2-pounders and a number of automatic guns, making the battery more formidable than any afloat as far as ability to concentrate fire and to throw weight of metal is concerned. In the matter of defensive power the battleships of both classes are unsurpassed.

STRIKES THE CANTEEN.

House Embodies Prohibition Amendment in Military Bit*. The army bill passed the House embodying an amendment for the abolition of the army canteen. Representative Fitzgerald (Mass.) attempted to have the amendment broadened so as to prohibit the sale of intoxicating liquor upon government property, explaining that inasmuch as Congress was willing to deprive the soldiers of their beer the members should prove their unselfishness by prohibiting the sale of liquor at the capltol, but the motion was ruled out on a point of order. The House divided almost on party lines. Representative McCall (Mass.), who is opposed to the administration on everything connected with expansion and colonial policy, was the only Republican who voted in the negative. Three Democrats —Representatives Clayton and Underhill (N. Y.) and Hall (Pa.) —broke away from party lines and voted with the Republicans in favor of the bill. Mr. Littlefield’s substitute for the canteen provision of the bill reads: “The sale of or dealing in beer, wine or any intoxicating liquors by any persoD In any post, exchange or canteen or army transport or upon any premises used for military purposes by the United States Is hereby prohibited. The Secretory of War is hereby directed to carry the provisions of this section into full force and effect.” The amendment was adopted—ls 9to 51. Many members of the IV. C. T. U. were in the gallery and loudly applauded the result.

A NARROW ESCAPE. A GRATEFUL WOMAN

Chronic Coughs and Colds Are Catarrhal Diseases.

Catarrh Is the Continual Scourge of Christendom. Catarrh hovers ominously over every city, and nestles treacherously in every hamlet. It flies with vampire wings from country to country and casts a black shadow of despair over all lands. Its stealthy approach and Its lingering stay makes it s dread to the physician and a pest to the patient. It changes the merry langh of childhood to the wheezy breathing of croup, and the song of the blushing maiden to the hollow cough of consumption. In Its withering grasp the rounded form of the fond wife and mother becomes gaunt and spectral, and the healthy flush of manhood tarns to the sallow, haggard visage of the invalid. Cough takes the place of conversation, speech gives way to spitting, (he repulsive odors of chronic catarrh poison the kiss of the fondest lovers, and thick-

A Rare Fish.

Biologists are interested In a recent description of a shark which Is of so rare a nature and possesses such marked peculiarities as to occasion much comment. It Is a reanimated Devonian fossil, with tricuspid teeth, and has been given the name of Chlamydoselachus angulneus. Previous to the year 1899 but thirteen specimens of the fish had been secured by naturalist*, and all came from Japanese waters. In that year, however, a small specimen was captured by the Prince of Monaco off Madeira, while this recently discovered specimen was found near the coast of Norway.
