The gentlemen connected with the Congre-
gstional church in Wollaston, wishing to
raise few hundred dollars to clear the So
cety from debt, after due cogitation, and
without consulting their wives. daughters, or
sweethearts, decided on the novel experiment
OF getting up church fair to be managed and
conducted exclusively by men, even to the
cooking and washing of dishes On Wcdnes-
day and Thursday evenings of the past week
the fair, managed entirely by men folks, was
witnessed in the church. Cake. pies. rolls,
and meats of various kinds, with excellent
coffee, all prepared by the men, were dis
pensed without feminine aid. Even the in
| evitable grab bag" was managed and the
usual assortment OF fancy articles sold by
whiskered attendants. The novelty of the
| affair drew crowds of visitors and scored a
| financial success. The ladies of Wollaston
are, however, undsmayed, and talk of taking
revenge some time Boston Budget.

surest Tranquilizer of the Nerves.

The surest tranquilizer of the nerves Is q
medicine which remedies their representative
ness by inyigorating them. Over tension of
the nerves always weakens them. What they
need, then, is q tonic, not a sedative. The
latter is only useful when there, is intense
mental excitement and an immediate neces-
sity exists for producing quietude of the brain.
Uostetter's Stomach Bltters restores tranquil
ity of the nerves by endowing them with the
vigor requisite to bear, without being Jared
or disturbed unhealthfully, the ordinary I'M
hearing and reflection Nay, it does more
than this-it enables them to sustain a degree
of tension from mental application which they
would be totally unable to endure without Its
conclusion to be drawn from the testimony OF
business and professional men, litterateurs,
clergymen, and others who have tested the
terrifying and reparative influence of-this
celebrated tonic and nervne.
