Novel, divorce Process.

Louisville has the lead 10 the divorce
business and has just turned oat novel
piece of work in that line. A Mrs.
Burg having been deserted by her law"
full protector, John Burg, sought to get
rid of his name and return to the ince-
pendenee of the single state. The proper
officer of the law found John Berg
fresh German, whose understanding Of
English was very defective, read him the
notice of Mrs. Burg's intentions and
handed the bewildered man the paper
The officer made the return to the court
that he had found the recreant husband
and duly served the notice. The trial
took place, and resulted in the severance
OF Mrs. Burg's marital bonds, no hus
baud appearing to disturb the smooth
current of the process. The court ad
judged that Mr. Burg should pay the fees
and costs in the suit The officer soon
appeared before John Burg with the bill
and insisted on its immediate payment,
whereupon the facts of the case began to
develop themselves to the perfect under
standing Of the perplexed officer John
had improved iu English aud told the
officer thar he had been making a fool of
himself, that Burg was not his name, and
that be had never possessed the incum-
brance of u wife. The officer made the
following return: "Since the judgment
hereiu l have discovered that | served
the summons in this case on another per
son named John Burg, aud not the de-
feudaDt in this suit"
Mrs. Burg has her divorce regularly
executed aud is now plain Miss Weaver,
aud Mr. Burg appears to have got rid of
his wife without any effort or expense
on his part.

A PItIfnI Condition.

It is a sad thing to pass through life only
half alive. Yet there are thousands whose
habitual condition is one of lapguor aud
debility. They complain of no specific dis
ease; they suffer no positive pain; but they
have no relish for anything which affords
mental or sensuous pleasure. In nine cases
out of ten this state of lasstude and torpor
arises from q morbid stomach. Indiges tion
destroys the energy of both mind and body
When the waste of nature is not supplied
by due and regular assimilation of the
food, every organ is starved, every function
interrupted.
Now, what does common sense suggest
under these circumstances of depression ?
The system needs rousing and strengthen
ing; not merely for an hour or two, to sink
afterward into a more pitiable condition
than ever, (as it assuredly would do if an
ordinary alcoholic stimulant were resorted
to, but radically and permanently.
How is this desirable object to be accom-
plshed? The answer to this question,
founded on the unvarying experience of a
quarter of q century, is easily given. In.
fuse new vigor into the digestive organs by
a course of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters
Do not waste time by administering tempo
rary remedies, but wake the system up by
recuperating the fountain-head of physical
strength aud energy, the great organ upon
which all the other organs depend for their
nurture and support
By the time that a dozen doses of the
great vegetable tonic and invigorant have
been taken, the feeble frame of the dyspep-
tic will begin to feel its benign influence.
Appetite will be created, and with appetite

Died Suddenly of Heart Disease

How common is the announcement
Thousands are suddenly swept into eternity
by this fatal malady. This disease general
ly has its origin in impure blood filed with
irritating, poisonous materials, which cir

first be only slight producing little palpi-
tation or irregular action, yet by and by
the disease becomes firmly seated, and in
fia-nmation or hypertrophy, the thicken-
ing of the lining membrane or of the valves,
is produced. How wise 10 give early atten-
tion to q case of this kind. Unnatural
throbbing or pain in the region of the heart
should admonish one that all is not right,
and if you would preserve il from further
disease, you must help it to beat rightly by

A LITTLE Boy DROWNED On
Thursday evening last, little son of
Mr.. Wm. D. Taylor, while playing on
the bank of the river in company with
other little boys of about the same age,
fell or was accidently pushed into the
river and drowned. His little eompan
ions gave the alarm Immediately, but
before help could reach him, he was
drowned, and all efforts at resuscitation
were unavailiug. The little fellow was
between 7 and years old, and was a
sprightly, loveable child. Only few
minutes before the sad, sad accident, the
mother, Mrs. Taylor, had warned the
little fellows not to go near the river, but
thoughtlessly aDd unfortunately they
needed not her warning. Every parent
will sincerely condole with MI aud Mrs.
Taylor in this sad affiiciiOu. We beg
every little boy to read this paragraph,
and treasure well the lesson it teaches.

Every year increases the populari-
ty of this valuable Hair Preparation;
which is due to merit alone. We
can assure our old patrons that it is
kept fully up to its high standard;
and it is the only reliable and perfect
ed preparation for restoring GRAY
OR FADED HAIR to its youthful color,
making it soft, lustrous, and silken.
The scalp, by its use, becomes white
and clean. 1t removes all eruptions
and dandruf, and, by its tonic prop
critics, prevents the hair from falling
out, as it stimulates and nourishes
the hair-glands. By its use, the hair
grows thicker and stronger. In
badness, it restores the capillary
glands TO their normal vigor, and
will create a new growth, except in
extreme old age. 1t is the most eco
nomical HAIR. DRESSING ever used,
as it requires fewer applications,
and gives the hair splendid, glossy
appearance. A. A. Hayes, Md,
State Assayer of Massachusetts, says,
The constituents are pure, and care

RATION for its intended purposes"
