Sweden’s Fire Lassies. The little town of N’asso, in Sweden, has a feminine department, 150 strong, la its tire brigade. The water works of the village consist simply of four great tubs, and it is the duty of the women ••firemen” to keep these full in ease of fire. They stand in two continuous lines from the tubs to the lake, about three blocks away, one line passing the full buckets and tlie other sending them back. WHAT HEADACHE IS. The Danger Signal that Nature Gives to Women. It Slgnides That Serious Female Trouble Is Imminent. Most female diseases manifest their presence by a headache.

MARY LORD DImMCK. FACTS ABOUT THE WOMAN MR. HARRISON WILL WED. Not a New Woman by Any MeunuNeither Rows, Nor Skates, Nor Rides a Bicycle or a Horae—Well Read and Charming. Not Exactly Beautiful. If ex-President Harrison's opinions can be inferred from his choice of a bride, he can have little sympathy for the so-called new woman, for Mrs. Mary I^rd Dimmick is her very antithesis. The 1 act that she never wore, and steadfastly refuses to wear, shirt waists is a good key to her character. She dislikes anything stiff or mannish or severe, and.' though she dresses plainly and generally in dark colors, she always chooses soft things that cling to her in an. affectionate way, as if / -j SIRS. DIMMICK.

they were a part of herself, and had not been merely put on. She does not care much, either, about their being in the height of fashion, as long as they are becoming. All, or at least most, of her tastes and accomplishments are feminine. She is passionately fond of music, embroiders beautifully and is ati excellent nurse. During the season she goes constantly to the opera. She knows every one of Wagner's operas, from beginning to end, ami can tell the instant she hears a musical selection just a hat it is and who wrote it Embroidery seems to rank next to.music in her favor and many of her friends possess elegant specimens of her work. Mrs. Dimmick has not the smallest interest in athletics of any kind. She was never on a bicycle, and does not approve of the machine, and she does not ride, drive or skate. Her time is pretty evenly divided between books ami embroidery and the oi»era. She is a great reader, and keeps up with all the current literature, though she cares little for anything classical. She has a fad for collecting autographs, and possesses the signatures of many wellknown people, among them being those of Jean de Reszke and Richard Mansfield. Mansfield is her personal friend, and she is his devoted admirer. He is her favorite actor, and she considers him one of the greatest lights of the modern stage. Allison, by the way. has the honor of being approved by her as a candidate for th< presidency. In appearance Mrs. Dimmick is not exactly beautiful, but she is so bright and vivacious, and so aristocratic in her bearing, that she gives one the impression of being so. As a young girl, she was noted for her personal charms, and in Princeton, the home of her childhood, they still talk of her beauty. The wedding is to take place at noon on April G, in St. Thomas’ Church, New York, and will be extremely quiet. It is understood that there will be only twelve guests, relatives, and some intimate

friends of the ex-President, and that there will be no wedding breakfast. 1/ieiit. Parker will give the bride away. After the ceremony the newly wedded pair will go to the general's home in Indianapolis, where a public reception will be given in their honor. A boudoir for the bride has been planned by herself, and she has personally selected the hangings and other furnishings for it. In August they will go to the Adirondaeks, where a simple little cottage is now being built for them. INDIANA DISTRICT DELEGATES. Thirteen Conventions Held ir the State on Thursday. The liepublicans of Indiana, through their representatives in thirteen district conventions, Thursday selected the following delegates to represent them in the St. Louis convention: First —James 11. McNeeley, Evansville; Janies B. Gamble. Princeton. Second—Not U. Hill, Bloomington; Benjamin F. Polk, Vincennes. Third—ll. C. Hobbs, Salem; J. T. Stout, Paoli. Fourth—O. H. Montgomery, Seymour; A. E.

Heatwole, Goshen; A. L. Brick. South Bend. Five districts instructed their delegates , to vote for McKinley. Several districts indorsed the candidacy of the Ohio man, 1 but left their delegates free to vote as may , seem best after they get into the convention. The Business Men’s League of St. ’ Suouis has established a bureau of iufor- , mation to supplement the work of the committee in finding accommodations for ’ the delegates and visitors to St. Louis . during the Republican convention, and • also during the Populist and bimetallic convention in July.

Intending purchasers of carriages, phaetons and buggies would do well to write to the Elkhart Carriage and Harness Manufacturing Co. at Elkhart, Indiana, for their new catalogue. These manufacturers deal directly from their factory with consumers, and have customers from Maine to California to whom they ship and sell at factory prices. Their work is good and honest, while their prices, considering quality and finish, are so reasonable as to attract attention wherever their carriages are sold. Their advertisement in another column explains their methods of dealing with purchasers. After a man has received two favors I in succession he begins to consider them part of his constitutional rights. Piso’s Cure for Consumption has been a family medicine with us since 1865.—J. R.

Sour Stomach, sometimes called waterbrash^ and burning pain, distress, nausea, dy«4 pepsia, are cured by Hood’s Sarsapfri rilla. This it accomplishes, because^ with its wonderful power as a blood purifier, Hood’s Sarsaparilla gently tones and strengthens the stomach and digestive organs, invigorates the liver, creates an appetite, gives refreshing sleep, and raises the health tone. In cases of dyspepsia and indigestion ill seems to have a “magic touch.” "For over 12 years I suffered from soul’ Stomach with severe pains across my shoulders, and great distress. I had violent nausea, -which would leave me very weak and faint, difficult to get my breath. These spells cama - oftener and more severe. I did not receive r any lasting benefit from physicians, but! found such happy effects from a trial ot - Hood’s Sarsaparilla that I took several botties, and mean to always keep it in the n house. I am now able to do all my own e work, which for six years 1 have been ime able to do.

Mr. Charles S. Patterson, the f publisher of Newspaperdom, says that It Is not often that he gets so enthusiastic as he does over Rlpans Tabules. Almost with the regularity of clockwork he used to feel, at about eleven o’clock, that something had gone wrong with his breakfast; especially was this true If he had bad a restless night, as is no uncommon thing with headworkers. "My stomach," said Mr. Patterson, "is under the standard as to strength, and it seems at these times to act only indifferently, and finally to stop. Clouds come before my vision and a slight * t, nausea is felt. Then I reach out p for my Ripans. (Years of the sort of thing related have made me know the symptoms as well as my name.) Down goes one of the q blessed little concentrated boons, and in a few minutes the visual clouds lift, discomfort passes away, 1 stomach apparently resumes operations, and at 12:30 or 1 o'clock I go out for my usual rather hearty luncheon—all in delightful contrast I with my former practically ruined afternoons —that I sought to escape / ‘ by fasting and various doses.’’ 1 Rlpaus Tabuses are lu-kl b> drugs!«ts or by mall It ! the price (50 cents a t>ox) is went t-» The means Cbemt- ; cal Company, No. 10 Spruce Street.
