A TERRIBLE LOSS.
What the Sudden Breaking Down of
 So Many Men and Women Mean.
A Prominent Physicians Views.

The writer had most interesting inter view with one of the leading physicians of Boston 8 few days since, when some facts came to light which are both start ling and valuable. The conversation had turned upon overwork and the strain which comes upon the American men and women of the present day, as we'll as the terrible evils which follow.
 The doctor said: ''It is 8 fact that men of business are suddenly breaking down, laboring men are becoming debilitated, and wives and mothers less healthy and vigorous than formerly. The fearful evils of drunkenness are due more to the breaking down of the body, which de- mands stimulants, than to any other known cause. Men, women and children are growing weaker under some myste- rious influence which demands attention. I have tried to ascertain what this inf1rl- ence may be, and am satisfied that 1t is due to lack of sustaining force for the nervous energy and exhaustion which business and society constantly demand. not regain their former tone. The albumen in the system becomes largely exhausted, and the first thing we know we hear of sudden giving way, and the posed was in perfect health. If some means could be found to avert these troubles it would be great benefaction to the world"
 It is a source of gratitude to be able to chronicle the fact that this source has been found. and that by a rare combina- tion of peptonized beef, hops and malt and called Hoptonic. the vital forces of life can not only be sustained but restor- ed. The importance of this discovery can not be too greatly emphasized, and the effect it's introduction is having upon the community is most gratifying in the ex- treme If men and women lack in .ener gy and am bition in the future they do so with the realization that it might be avoi6Qd

THE FLOW AND SWORD,

There was a Count, the story runs, Who knew that shortly he must die. So called he to him his two sons To share his goods and property, Now for a blow, also a sword
 The aged warrior made request: The " brought him, these the sons adored. That he could make them his beQuest. My elder son, my valiant heir,
 You will this sword in future wield; The mountain::with it's castle there
 And all of honor you shall shield" ITO you, not less my kinder son,
 To you the blow do I now give; In lands which quiet huts stand on
 There you in peaceful toll shall live." Life-wearied then he falls to sleep
 As he this simple blessing gives, The sons his mandates truly keep,
 And faithful are throughout their liveSs To-day where is that sword of will2
 That castle and it's hero man? Where are the lands with villas still?
 And where the humble, perceful yeoman! Oh! ask not how the story ends,
 Iris known full well throughout the thronG: To ruins deep the castle bends,
 That sword has rusted long. The lands. though. lie in lordly pride
 Beneath the sunshine's gladdening rays; The golden harvests ripen wide
 For one has held the blow these days.

4 -. m., next day when it began to
blaze up and spread all over the bar
room. The smnke penetrated to the
hotel where the night clerk noticed it
and woke up the proprietor and the
help. 1t took hard work to put il
out. The loss is about $50. Ten
minutes longer the Whole block would
