Mr.. Blaine has addressed letter to
his attorneys instructing them to dis
miss the suit against the publishers of
the Indianapolis Sentinel. In his let
ter, Mr.. Blaine says:

against the consolidated venom of the
Democratic party of the State. With
these surroundings and with this pros
pect it is idle for me to go through the
trouble and annoyance of trial. The
questions propounded by the bill of
discovery have already been substan-
italy and fully answered by me. and
l am willing TO leave my written state
ment and answers under oath to the
Judgment of the public. do not
choose to have the case indirectly con-
cluded by technicality or suffered to
die in silence. prefer to make this
frank and open statement of the rea-

prosecution of the case would be
utterly fruitless.

or archery. / am informed that
many of the residents of Murray Hill
and Fifth Avenue are having bowling
alleys constructed in their private
houses, so that their wives and daugh-
tiers can enjoy the sport at home. A
number of bowling clubs have been
organized among the fair sex. In
some instances the clubs lease the
alley adjoining a garden or saloon
and use it in the afternoons and at
times when the proprietor does not
require it for his regular customers.
Physicians say that the game IS
healthful; but alas there is one
drawback, for the sport tends to
spread the hands and cause them to
become hard and bony.
1t would be nice problem for the
statisticians presently to determine
what the latest visitation of cholera in
Europe has cost. A week or two ago
it was calculated that the quarantine
had already resulted in loss of
IS, 100000 to the Italian revenue,
and now the Spaniards have begun
counting their bill of cost. The fall
ing off the customs since quarantine
was established had amounted by the
end of August to close upon 81, 250,-
900, while the V lue of the exports
and imports during the same period
had shown decrease of So, 1915, 900.
No wonder that the corporations of
Madrid and Barcelona have petit
toned the government to take these
facts into consideration. The minis
ter of finance, finding that the equl-
librium OF his budget was being seri-
ously disturbed, has persuaded his
colleagues that it is time to have done
with the quarantine craze, and with
the beginning of the present month
the regulations were accordingly re-
Taxed.

BuIWer Lytton's Bridge.
WHERE IT TOUCHES THE SHORES AND TIL

GREAT COLUMNS IN MID STREAM.
'What beautiful bridge between old age and
childhood is religion. How intuitively the child
begins with prayer and worship on entering life
and how intuitively, on quitting life, the old man
turns back to prayer and worship, putting him.
self again side by side with the infant" remarks
Sir E. Bulwer Lytton, in his ''Strange Story"
Yes, but between its distant abutments the
bridge of life has many high and awful arches,
through which the waters dash and roar in wrath
and desolation. Prayer and worship alone do
not sustain these. Natures solid rocks must lie
mistaken beneath, and human art and skill must
rear and solidify the structure overhead. Gods
will is best eXemplifed in the laws He has made
for the creatures whom He has placed under their
control. Neither the child's trustful "Our Faith
err" nor the old mans "Forget me not in the
midst of my infirmities," will alter this by the
weight of single grain.
Science and art frst-then faith and prayer
is the order of heaven itself. Divinity heals
through its agents, and those agents are the dis
coveries of man; not the vague announcements
of prophets or seers. Is life burden to you?
Does time drag? Is your power to cope with
life's problem and duties weakened? Yen are
not well. Your blood is sluggish and tainted
perhaps; or some important organ is torpid or
overworked This fact may have taken the form
of dyspepsia, rheumatism, govt, malaria, pains
in the stomach, chronic headache, or any of q
dozen other ills. PARKER'S TONIC will invig-
crate you, as fresh air invigorates those who
have been shut up in damp, fetid cells. 1t is
powerful, pure, delicious, scientific, safe-the
keystone of the central arch of the bridge of
life.

ST. NICHOLAS
FOR YOUNG FOLKS.
Attractions for i8SA-5

No printed periodical can take the place of pa
rent, pastor, or school teacher; but good mag
aZine can supplement their work and influence
to wonderful degree. In view of this it is not
eXtravagant to say that-instead of "Can we af-
ford to take ST. NICHoLASr"-the question of
every earnest household in English speaking
countries, to-day, should be "Can we afford NOT
to take ST. NICHOLAs?"
The magazine, during its eleven happy years
of experience, under the editorial charge Of
Mary Mapes Dodge, has grown familiar to hum
dreds OF thousands of young readers; and their
interest and intelligent enjoyment have con-
stantly inspired the editor and publishers to
fresh effort. To-day, its strength is in its whole
some growth, its sympathy with young life, its
hearty recognition of the movement of events
and its steadily increasing literary and pictorial
resources. The following are some of the good

In numberless bulbs beneath the skin

gives the hair its texture, color and

hair begins at once to become dry, lus-
