That Extreme tired feeling afflicts nearly everybody at this'season. The hustlers cense to push, the tireless grow weary, the energetic become enervated. You know just v. hat we mean. Some men and women endeavor temporar.ly to overcome that Tired Fee ing by great force of will. But this is unsafe, as it pulls powerfully upon the nervous system, which will not long stand such strain. Too many people “work on their nerves,” and Ihe result is seen in unfortunate wrecks marked “nervous pr .s---tratian,” in every direction. That tired fng is a positive proof of thin, weak, impure blocd; for, if the blood is rich, red, vitalized and vigorous, it imparts life and energy to every nerve, organ and tissue of the body. The necessity of taking Hood's Sarsaparilla for that tired feeling is, therefore, apparent to every one, and the good it will do you is equally beyond question. Remember that Hood’s Sarsaparilla Is the One True Blood Purifier. All druggists. sl. Prepared only by C. I. Hood & Co., Lowell, Mass. Hood’s Pills < Wo wwr Gladness Comes TX/ith a better understanding of the * ’ transient nature of the many physical ills which vanish before proper efforts—gentle efforts —pleasant efforts—rightly directed. There is comfort in the knowledge that so many forms of sickness arc not due to any actual disease, but simply to a constipated condition of the system, which the pleasant family laxative, Syrup of Figs, promptly removes. That is why it is the only remedy with millions of families, and is everywhere esteemed so highly by all who value good health. Its beneficial effects arc due to the fact, that it is the one remedy which promotes internal cleanliness, without debilitating the organs on which it acts. 11 is therefore nil important, in order to get its beneficial effects, to note when you purchase, that you have the genuine article, which is manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co. only, and sold by all reputable druggists. " If in the enjoyment of good health, and the system is regular, then laxatives or other remedies are not needed. If afflicted with any actual disease, one may be commended to the most skillful physicians, but if in need of a laxative, then one should have the best, and with the well-informed everywhere, Syrup of Figs stands highest and is most largely used and gives most general satisfaction.

SIX SCORE YEARS AND FOUR. Noah Raby Claims to Have Long Passed the Century Mark. If his own statement is to be credited, and his neighbors place implicit reliance in the old man’s word, Noah Raby, an inmate of the Piscataway poorhouse in North Carolina, passed his one bun- 1 dred and twenty-fourth year the other day. Henry G. Hummer, overseer of । the farm, has known the man for more !‘|N : '■'it ; * 1 1' I ? ■ - AI i iMa 1 Ik NOAH BABY. than fifty years and is firm in his belief that Raby is past the century point. As he sits in an old-fashioned armchair before the tire in Mr. Hummer’s house the old man looks every bit a centenarian. “Uncle Noah" is short and muc^ bent. Sometimes his eyes sparkle, In/: they are sightless, as he became bllgd about ten years ago. Although 4ns shoulders are somewhat contracted, tire muscles of his legs and arms are as firm as they were thirty years ago. Ho ‘ is toothless and in talking gives vent , to a weird whistling noise. But his voice is strong and dear and his laugh is hearty. His accent is of the South. General good health lias blessed the old man since a serious illness at the age of 18. His mind is wonderfully alert and he lias an emphatic way of saying “Certain, sir.” Fearing a rush of blood to his head lie sleeps sitting up in a chair. On pleasant days he goes to the well in the yard, guided by a wire stretched from the back door. Boiled fish or Hee or some bread and milk constitute ‘lie oil man's simple diet. He weighs only about 10^ pounds, althcuih at his best he sol kun averaged over 130. Noah has developed a fondness for an occasional glass of rye whisky and downs it. like a connoisseur. He says he was born at Eatontown, Gates County, N. C.. on April 1. 1772. He also says he heard Washington speak in Norfolk, Va. At that time Raby was a sailor in the United States navy. Current Condensation*. Slap a boy; hit a man. Your idol is probably a great bore to other people. It beats the cars how a sensational story will travel. , Some women ride a wheel like drunken mon walk. Men always bale suffragists, and ’ “talk back” to them. Every one who falls in love bites off 1 more than he can chew. Don't grieve more than a dollar's ' worth over a lost dollar. Nearly every proa'her. in trying to . raise money, is insulting. It is surprising how thin some worn- ' ' en aud some stories are. 1 It is easier to got a wife by advertising than it is to sell a horse. ' Any man who talks ah mt his great ability in any line is a fraud. 1 None of us realize how much people 1 talk about us behind our backs. It is more conceit than anyone should have to pass judgment upon another. If you could see all a man's weak ' spots, you'd think he had the measles. That woman never lived who looked , decent when engaged in house cleaning. When a man is not disagreeably cranky, he is usually disagreeably funny. The situation that makes a woman < sit down and cry makes a man cuss a blue streak. Japan's field marshal's name is properly pronounced Y-a-m-a-t-a.

HOMAGE TO THE CZAR RUSSIAN RULER ENTERS THE EMPIRE’S OLD CAPITAL. Nicholes Tb Hailed by Booming Cannon and Pealing Belle—ln Dazzling Cavalcade—Royalty and Nobility Journey from the Petrovsky Palace. Day of Joy at Moscow. The czar and czarina made their triumphal entry into Moscow amid the thunder of batteries of artillery, the clanging of countless bells and the cheers of a vast multitude of loyal Russians and equally enthusiastic visitors from all parts of the world. Probably never in the history of nation* has there been such an assemblage of peoples. Possibly the gorgeous scene may never be repeated in its grand entirety. In anticijiation of the coming of the czar, the entire route from Petrovski palace, about three miles on the road to St. Petersburg, to the Kremlin was so densely packed with people that movement except on the outskirts of the immense crowds was out of the question. The signal for the commencement of the, day's movements was a salute of nine guns from a battery outside the city. This was followed by the dull booming of the big bell of the Cathedral of the Assumption and the assembling of the troops at their various mustering points. Then the countless high dignitaries of the empire and of foreign countries began to gather at the Petrorski palace, to take their places in the gala equipages or to escort on horseback the carriages of their imperial majesties. The grand dukes and grand duchesses, the princes aud the princesses, the Asiatic potentates, the innumerable representatives of every country CZAB NICHOLAS. under the sun assembled there to do honor ' to the czar of all the Russins, the ruler ■ of the mighty empire which half encircles the globe. Generals with their staffs, 1 aids-de-camp riding nt breakneck speed, : orderlies galkping furiously were to be seen everywhere. The clash of arms re- j Founded on all silos, and most impressive : was the gathering of the hosts of the mighty emperor. At 2:“O o’clock there was n farther thundering of the cni > on, this time ftom the direction of the Pctrovski palncc. and that living mass of men and women gave ' a great sigh of relief, for it was the r gnal i that the czar had started on Lis journey to the Kremlin. Reception of the Cznr, After leaving the palace the < rar was received by the commnmier-in-ehicf of nil the troops nt Miwinrf and in its neighborhood, the Grand Duke Sergius, snd then the lattt r. wuh a most brilliant staff, joined in the procession. At the Resurrection gate the czar dismounted from his horse and the cuipn ss< s descended from th-dr curr.ag s in orff r to worship at the shrine of the Iberian Ma- i donna, Ute most s icred of the many holy i symbols in Moscow. At the shrine their majesties were received by the gran I vicar of Moscow, w!.o pr.^ent* 1 tin in with the cro-s and sprinkled t’ em with holy water. Their majesties enured the chajiel and knelt in prayer before the image. At the conclusion < f their devotions the czar remountc i his horse an*l the czarina re-entered her carriage and ■ they passed tin--ugh the gate into the i Kremlin, where tic y wore received with ■ all the ecclesiastical pmnp possible. At the nmnient their majesties entered the palace of die Kremlin an artillery , salute of I"! g i' - v. a- tired and thr- ng'sout the journey of their majesties the bills ' from all the Udfrics from M -c w were • tolled. The czar and czarina will remain at the palace in partial seclusion un- ; til the core :; my of the coronation es the imperial standard, which always occurs ■ three (lays before the coronation. Cost of the Fetes. The Russian Government is said to | have spent over S2O.tkKGM.x) on the fetes up to rhe present, and the city of Mos- . cow is understool to hare expended near- . iy as much money aud more expenses i have to bo met. The illuminations cost ■ several millions of dollars to the Govern ; meat alone, wit'; ..t • ■•.■.ntieg what the , city contributed toward this portion of i the expense. Bi s 'ns the expense of the ■ Russian Governmet t and the city of Mos- ; cow, the expenses which grand dukes and grand duchesses, foreign princes and ambassadors, etc., have been put to is really enormous, one authority going so far as to estimate that there was about SIOO,000,000 werth of jewelry aloue in the procession. The French Government especially has teen put to a very great expense for the coronation fetes. The cost of the supper which their imperial majesties attended under the auspices of the French delegation cost over SIOO,OOO, and the carriages used by the French envoys were the property of the Emperor Napoleon, built especially for the christening of the late prince imperial. Ex-Empress Eugenie allowed them to be sent to Moscow for the use of Comte De Montebello and General De Boisdeffre, the representatives of France. The French excavators at Delphi have unearthed a life-sized bronze statue of a beardless man, the largest yet discovered. The date of the work is 500 B. C. The statue is holding the bridle of a horse, and portions of the horse's figure have, also been found. Princess Louise of Denmark, eldest daughter of the Crown Prince Frederick, who was born in 1875, and Prince Frederick of Schaumburg-Lippe, cousin of the reigning Prince George, who was born in 1868, were married at the palace of Amalaieuburg,

Nickel Plating. The progress cf electrical science is beautifully illustrated in the various processes used in covering the coarser; metals with a’thin layer of those more precious. To see an article of copper, brass or other common metal laid in an electric bath and by and by come forth coated with gold or silver seems like enchantment, and a hundred years ago would have been regarded as sorcery. The process is too technical for explanation outside the pages of a scientific magazine, but the results are before the eyes of ail, and, although familiarity with the operation has made most persons indifferent, it is, nevertheless, one of the marvels of even the nineteenth century.
