What /. Wife % Means.

Says Ruskin: "What do you think
the beautiful word wife comes from
It ls the great word in which the Eng
lish and Latin languages conquered the
French and Greek. / hope the French
viii some day get word for it instead
Of that femme. But what do you think
it comes from The great value of the
Saxon words is that they mean some
thing. Wife means weaver. You
must either be housewives or house
moths, remember that. In the deep
sense, you Iaust either weave mems
fortunes and embroider them, or feed
upon aad bring them to decay. Wher-
ever true wife comes. home Is always
around her. The ctars may be over
her head, the glow worm in the nights
cold grass may be the fire at her feet,
but heme is where she Is, and for .
noble woman it stretches far around
her, better than houses ceiled with
cedar or painted with vermiIlion--
shedding is quiet light for those who
else are homeless. This, believe is
the woman's true place and power.

The Revenue Racket.
IT WILL RE Lively.

WASHINGTON. March 1.-THE Kelly
Randall proposition to reduce the in
ternal revenue in the interest OF pro-
tectiye tariff $10,O00,000 will not be re-
ported by the ways and means commit
tee without struggle. The many and
diverse interest affected are all repre-
sented in the committee, and the con-
test over the matter will be as bitter as
IT will be in the house. 1t is believed
that the advocates of internal revenue
reduction will have cause for self-con-
graduation if they induce the revenue
reformers, free traders, protectionists,
prohibitionists and liberals who make
up the ways and means committee to
report bill cutting down the internal
revenue S30,000,000.

WASHINGTON, March 1.-THE senate

the postotfice appropriation bill to-day
and devoted its entire session to read
ing and discussing the report which
had been prepared in regard to the

The session consumed several hours.

upon which the members of the COM
mittee differ materially, not only as 10
the sutficiency Of evidence, but rs to
the nature of the report that ought to
be made upon them. 1t is well settled
that these differences will result in the
making of more than one report, but
in any event the committees work and
the summing up will make mighty
interesting reading"

Remarkable Escapes
q. NJ. Knight,
Clerk.

John Kuhn, of Lafayette, Ind, had
very narrow escape from death. This i
his owl story: ''One year ago ] was j.
the last stages of Consumption. Our bes
physicians gave my case up. final
got so low that our doctor said I couli
not live twenty -four hours. My friend
then purchased me bottle Of Dr. Wm
Halls Balsam for the Lungs, which bene
fitted me. | continued until l took nine
bottles. am now in perfect health, hay
ing used no other medicine"
DR.. NJ. H. Hinsdale, Kenawee, IL.
reports another remarkable case: a.
neighbours wife was attacked with violer
lung disease. and beyond help from Quics
Consumption. AS last resort, the fam
ly were persuaded to try DR.. VIM. HALL S
BALsAM FOR THE LUNGS. To the as
constituent of all, by the time she hs1
used six bottles she was able to do her
own work. / had no idea she could r
cover"
P. j. Duesler, of Clayville, N. Y. give
account of his escape from the same dis
ease: 81 was attacked with severe coue n
which gradually wore OF until / found
was going into QUICK CONSUMPSION.
and some one advised me to try your D.
VIM. HALLS BALsAM FOR THE LUN65
which did, and by the use of two bottles
was cured of my cough and regaIned n
health entirely"
From the above it is plainly evident
that there is cure for consumptiOu
even in the most hopeless cases, and that
cure is DIR. WIN. HALLS BALSAM FOR TIE
LUNGS. Cures all coughs and colds.
