Tie Apoplectic Stroke.

A middle.aged physician said ono day
TO the writer: AS / was walking down
the street after dinner 1 felt shock In
the back Of my head, rs it some one Ind
struck me; have not felt well since. 1
fear I shall die, Just rs oil my ancestors
have, Of paralysis. What shall l dol
The answer was: Diminish the tension
on the blood vessels, and there need be
no fear Of tearing them in weak place. :"
Now, this expresses in plain terms the
cause OF apoplexy in the great majority
Of instances; and it is one, too, which
every one has 1t in his power to prevent.
A blood vessel Of tho brain, from causes
which will presently bc mentioned, Inns
lost some OF It's elastic strength; food is
abundant, digestion is good; blood is
made in abundance, but little is worked
OF by exercise; tho tension on every
artery and vein Is at 10 maximum rate;
tho even, circuitous flow is temporarily
impeded ut some point, throwing o
dangerous pressure on another; the YES.
sci which has lost its elastic strength
gives way, blood is poured out, clot is
formed, which, by It's pressure on the
brain, produces complete unconscious
ness. This is tho apoplectic stroke. II
will be perceived that there are two lead
ing conditions upon which the produc.
ton OF the stroke depends; lessened
strength in tho vessel, aud an increased
tension on ii,

lower skirt should also bo Of black silk.
Ecru muslin wrought all over in open

from much that Is offered under TINT

The objection to imported suits Of wash
materials is TINT they aro so often made
with close.fitting basques, aud this Is tho
case with the fresh and pretty ginghnm
suits. The baslues Of plaid gingham
arc cut to show tho plaid bins, and this
has very pretty effect, but does not
wish well. The oyerskirt has n deep
apron, either pointed, round, Or square,

Striped gingham suits arc similarly made,
but are trimmed with knife.plaited rutlles
arranged to make o particular color up

The Cities and the Working People.

There Is hardly city in tho United
States, saysthe Boston Transcript, which
does not contain morepeople than cang get
q fair, honest living by labor or trade, in
the best times. When times Of business
depression come, like those through
which we have passed and are passing,
there is q largo class that must be helped
to keep them from cruel suffering. Still
hecities grow, while whole regionsof tho
country especially It's older PORTIONS
are depopulated year by year. Yet tile
fact Is patent to.day that the only pros
porous class Is the agricultural. We
have now the anomaly Of thrifty farmers
and starving .tratlesmen. The agricul.
ttlral class Of tho West aro prosperous.
They had q good crop last year, and have
received good prices for all their pro-
ducts; and while tho cities arc In trouble,
and manufactures arc running on half
time, or not running ut all, the Western
farmer has money In his pocket, and
ready market for everything he Inns TO
sell. The country must DO fed, and lle
feeds IL. Tho city family may do with
out clothes, and a thousand luxurious
appliances, but II must have bread and
meat. There "a isnothing that can prevent
tho steady prosperity Of the American
farmer but tito combinations aud
a corners" Of niddlemen, that force nm.
natural conditions upon the finances and
markets Of the country.

as for Betsy Jane and Lyddy Ann, they

cutting of their own noses, for they
couldn't do without me, anyway. The
best Of II was when Lyddy Ann came
to be getting ready all Of a sudden to

The washington Monument.

As m effort is now being made to
finish the Washington monument, few
items relative to tho monument may be
Of interest. Tho plan Of the monument
Is an obclisk CIT feet high, with a colon
made surrounding the base. The esti-
mated cost Of the whole work was
81, ,222, 900. In six years from the laying
OF the corner stone the obelisk had been
raised 40 feet and $3.50, 900 had been
expended. After IN Intellectual effort,
in 1856, to get Congress TO appropriate
tho $500, 900 originally voted, in 1850
the National Washington Monument
Association was Incorporated by act Of
Congress. In 1S47 contributions to.
ward the monument amounted to more
than $4,000, in 1913 to $4,000, in 1910
to $50, 900, in 1851 to $3.50, 900, in 1862 to
s31, 900, in 1868 to $50, 900, in 1854 to
S31, 900, in 1860 toS 81, 600, in 1861 tos9 900,
in 1862 to $4,000. Since that time tho
association has received about 81 900 per
annum. In 1872 an effort was again
made to get Congress to appropriate
5000, 900 to the monument. II was re-
icrred to tho committee on appropria-
tons, but Inns never been acted upon.
Although each State, two OF tho Terri
tories and different governments aud as-
sociations all over the world have con-
tributed blocks to gointo the monument,
1t Is now only 174 feet high.
In this, as in many other enterprises
Of the sort, the pertinent question Is,
"What has become Of the money!" In
this case the answers are numerous. In
the first place, much Of II was collected
by agents, each OF whom received per-
centage on the amount collected. For
example: Mr.. A. is appointed township
agent; lie collects some money, and in
handing it in he deducts five per cent.
for collecting. Mr.. b., who Is county
agent, hands in the money collected by
the township agents, deducting five per
cent. for his trouble. Mr.. O., WHO is
State agent, hands in whatever ho re-
ceiyes, again deducting five per cont. for
his labors. Thus, Of every dollar five
cents goes to tho object intended, and
the other ninety.fve to collectors, agents,
clerks, secretaries, etc.

For there are circumstances under which

that the celebrated physician makes q
