Mental Taxation Cause of Dyspepsia.

Mental anxiety and pecuniary embar-

fire, by failure in business, or by bad
debts, and also domestic troubles, dis

The Lady ofLyOns.

The credit of the authorship Of this
play has recently been denied to- Bui-
wer. It is stated that the Minerva, q
literary journal published IN New York
about fifty years ago, and edited BY
James G.. Brooks, contained tale
written by Mrs. Helen Maria Williams,
entitled "Perorou, or the Bellows
mender of Lyons" This tale coming
to the notice of Bulwer was dramatized
by him, the prominent points, eharae-
ters and scenes being retained Bull
wer, however, in the first
printed edition of the play ad-
mits his obligation to "The Bellows
member of Lyons, but does not mention
the name of the authoress. Helen
Maria Williams was an English author
ess, who was born In the north of Eng
land In 1852, and who died in Paris IN
1927. She went to London at the age
of Is, and during the ensuing ten years
published several tales and poems,
which excited great attention In 1790
she settled in Paris. and wrote two vol
umes of letters on the state of France.
These letters defended the Girondists,
and on their downfall she was for some
time imprisoned, and her life was seri-
ously in danger. She subsequently,
wrote books of travels, historical mar
ratives, and novels and tales. Bulwer
wrote @The Lady of Lyons" about the
year 1886.

THE THREE LITTLE CHAIRS.


They sat BY the bright wood fre,
The gray-hEired dame and aged sire,
Dreaming Of days gone by;
The tear-drops fen on each wrinkled cheek,
They both had thoughts they could not speak,
And each heart uttered sigh
For their sad and fearful eyes descr1ed
Three little chairs placed side by sade
Arainst the sitting-room wall;
Old-fashioned enough as there tneS 5000,
Their seats Of flag and their frames Of wood,
with their backs 50 straight and tan.
Then tse sire shook his silyery head,
And with trembling voice he gently sAid:
Mother, these empty chairs!
They bring US such sad, sad thoughts tonight,
Wen put them forever out Of sight,
IN the small dark room up stairs"
But she answered: HFSther. no. not vet.
Fur look At them, and forget
That the children are away;
The boys come back, and our Mary, too,
With her apron on, of checkered blue,
And sit here every day.

whether we shall wash our wool or put it
up in the dirt?'
A. ATCHEsON-Our wool does not stand
at par with wool in other states. Our wool
has been put up in bad condition, great
portion of it, for years past l think we
should wash our wool well, SC our Boston
dealers would want it. They want to
shrink one-third, which in my opinion is
too much put it in good condition, wash
ed is my advice. Have soft water and
wash by spout; wash as long as the wa
ter runs milky or dirty from the sheep let
the sheep run from four to twelve days af-
ter washing till the new oil starts freely,
this will give it soft, lively appearance,
which dealers like. As for doing up wool
can't say much, but should recommend a
box of good size, not tied very tight-it
does better done in this way think.
n. s. PIERCE-There are many things
to be thought of and considered in raising
and putting up wool. l would wash my
sheep well, and put it up in the best con-
dition for market, think the dealers like to
find it so. | came here tonight to find out
which is the best way. In some cases it
may be best to shear early, any time in
April. Ifyou wish to send your sheep far
to pasture or have them ready for market

put it up well.
F. ARNOLD shear in the dirt, shear
any time from the Ist to the 18th of April
and sell for what l can get. Would like
to keep my sheep out of the storm after

ter and the wool is in better condition.

The Cure of NeuraIuia

The certain cure of neuralgia is found
in iudicious eating and exercises and not
only 50. permanent cure cannot be effect
ed in any other way, while these are al
ways efficient
In neuralgia the blood is always too
thick, impure, and in excess; and as diet
and exercise combine to remedy these con-
ditions, some rules in relation to them are
desirable. These will be adapted to sed-
entary persons, to those who live indoor
generally, as women, students, bookkeep-
ers and the like
1t is rather better to eat thrice day,
morning, noon, and night that is, as soon
after sunrise as practicable for breakfast ;
dinner about ! O'Clock; supper before sun
down
Fat nothing whatever between meals.
Breakfast, a single cup of coffee or tea,
some cold bread and butter, with a dish of
berries or stewed fruit in summer time. and
nothing else; in winter, meat, fish, or poul-
try, or in their stead, q couple of soft boil
ed eggs.
Supper should be made of cold bread
and butter, and a cup of warm drink of
some kind, and nothing else
Dinner the same as breakfast. adding
one vegetable and some fruit, raw or stew
ed, as a dessert, and nothing else. A diff
ferent kind of vegetable may be taken ev-
cry day for variety; the kind of meat may
be changed at each meal
The object in the specification above
made is to discourage variety at meals, be-
cause it IS this which tempts all to eat too
much. Persons at times have felt at the
table that they had eaten enough; but on
seeing very inviting dish Unexpectedly
brought in, good meal has been eaten of
this last variety. The general and hurtful
error is that too great variety is spread
on our tables, not only occasioning trouble
Of preparation and great loss, but also a
positive injury in the temptation of the
appetite. The reader may try it upon him
self on any two days. A dinner of one
/ vegetable. one kind of meat and bread at
dinner the next day. let great variety
be presented ; he will eat double the amount
at this repast, with this remarkable differ
ence an hour after the first meal, he will
be entirely comfortable, will feel as if he
had eaten quite enough an hour after the
latter, there will be decided discomfort, q
fullness, a feeling as if some kind of RELIEF
were desirable, and in too many cases q
resort to the decanter with the vain hope Of
a radiance in some way. 1t cannot be de-
MED that the first steps toward Incorporate
habits have been taken in using liquors tc
remove the unpleasant consequences OF
over-eating. A very great aid toward over
coming habit of too hearty eating will be
found in sitting down to table with ONLY
three varieties of tood.-Fi'om Or. Hail.,

1t is an awful moment when the soul be-
gins to find that the props on which it has
blindly rested so long, are, many of them,
rotten, and begins to suspect them all ;
when it begins to feel the nothingness of
many of the traditionary opinions which
have been received with implicit confidence
and in that horrible insecurity begins also
to doubt whether there be anything to be-
lieve at all. 1t is an awful hour-let him
who has passed through it say how awful
when this life has lost its meaning, and
seems shriveled into a span; when the
grave appears to be the end of all human
goodness nothing but name, and the sky
above this universe a dead expanse, black
with the void from which God himself ha,
disappeared. In that fearful loneliness OF

Good T cams.

1t cannot be denied that the teams used
by farmers in many sections of the country
arc too light. Mechanics, in selecting their
power, act more wisely than farmers, for
when they buy an engine care is taken to
get one heavy enough to do their business
thoroughly; but too often the farmer buys
a cheap, light team that IS not capable of
performing one-half of the necessary labor,
and the result Is, that he gets into the hab-
(which indeed is matter of necessity
Of guaging the depth of his furrow by the
strength Of his team, and as a result, he
impoverishes his farm, realizes small crops
and finally becomes discouraged and tries
some other business. There is hardly any
labor performed upon the farm with team
but that the farmer would realize the su-
perior advantages of large muscular team.
I admit that it will require more to keep
such a team than to feed a light fancy span,
but the advantage gained in the increase
of grain, grown from thorough ploughing
with the time saved in despatching other
work, will make up the difference of feed
many times over in a single season.
