The First Sign

Or failing health, whether in the form OF
Night Swcats and Nervousness, or in n
sense of General WEAKNESS and Loss of
Appetite. should suggest the use OF
Ayers Sarsaparilla. This preparation
is most effective for giving zone and
strength TO the cnfeebled system, pro-
noting the digestion and assimilation OF

their normal condition, and for purify

AN EXPLANATION

What is this nervous trouble" with
which so many seem now TO be afflicted ?
If you will remember few years ago the
word Malaria was comparatively unknown
to-day Ii is as common as any word in
the English language, yet this word
covers only the meaning Of another word
used by our forefathers in times past
So 1t Is with nervous diseases, as they and
Malaria are intended to cover what our
grandfathers called Biliousness, and all
are caused by troubles that arise from a
diseased condition of the Liver which in
performing its functions finding it cannot
dispose of the bile through the ordinary
channel is compelled to pass it off through
the system, causing nervous troubles,
Malaria, Bilious Fever, etc. You who are
suffering can we'll appreciate a cure. We
recommend Green's August Flower. Its
ures afe marvellous.

Tho cuisine in the hotel and good re-
staurants IS very fine, and comfortably
good in the cheaper houses we have tried.
Nowhere is living dear. Tea, most deli
cious, with nice bread, and enough for
two. cost eighty kopecks, and trink gelt
to the waiter Of say TENN oil about
forty cents Chocolate, two tumhlers
full, and bread or cake for two, same
price. 4 good dinner of soup, two kinds
rzcat and vegetables, with compete and
glass Of beer, costs in the best places, for
two. about $l.10 of our money. The
same at respectable place, but not so
well prepared, yet good enough, about
thirty five cents per person of our money.
] make il a rule 10 try all kinds of places
where food is clean and respectable. Rus
sian tea is very fine. 1t is served thus:
A teapot large enough to hold one large
cupful, and half full of leaves, is placed
before two persons, with another large
pot Of boiling water We half ill our
cups from the teapot and fill up with hot
water, and, If desired, with cream or
with milk, at the same time filling the
teapot with hot water. In this way we
can have as much as we can possibly de-
sire
Inotice Russians drinking and reflling
until the decoction coming from the pot
is barely colored. We, however, refill
only once, getting thus two large cups of
delicious tea. The third cup is strong
enough for table use. For each portion
twelve Jumps Of sugar are furnished and
bread enough for fair breakfast. mo
tice Russians putting sugar in their
mouths and sucking the tea through it or
eating it after swallowing some tea. This,
however, when tea is taken simply as a
beverage and with slice of lemon. One
disgusting habit is common here in the
better class of restaurants. A glass of
water is served after the meal, with
finger bowl. The mouth is washed and
the water poured out of it into the finger
bowl. / have heretofore seen this done
ut many tables dhote on the continent,
but here so far it seems universal. There
is nothing in this really filthy, but it is
suggestive of nastiness. / have seen it
among travelled swells in America. 1t is
a habit hope will not take deep root even
in our swelldom. To wash the mouth be-
fore smoking is a luxury. But there are
some things which are better done behind
n screen than in full view.-Carter ii.
