which so many seem now to be afflicted ?
JIG you will remember few years ago the
word Malaria was comparatively unknown

the English language, yet this word
covers only the meaning of another word
used by our forefathers in times past
So IL Is with nervous diseases, as they and
Malaria are intended to cover what our
grandfatbers called Biliousness, and all
are caused by troubles that arise from a
diseased condition of the Liver which in
performing its functions finding 1t cannot

The Lard Discussion.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.-The hearing
before the senate committee on agricul-
ture on the bill to impose, a tax on lard
containing anything except pure hogs
fat, was resumed this morning. Judge
Wilson, attorney for Squire & Co., read a
petition signed by a large number of
manufacturers and dealers in pure lard,
urging the passage of the bill. Also let
tiers from two cracker manufacturers of
st. Louis and Omaha, stating that the
crackers in which was used lard composed
in part of ~cottonseed oil would become
rancid in a few days. Also a clipping from
the New York Journal Of Commerce, in
which it is stated that the exports of lard
from the port Of New York had fallen off
Sc, 600, 600 pounds in the year 1887 as
compared with the year 1856.
Mr.. Cromwell, attorney for the ''re-
fined" lard manufacturers, said he had a
petition from over 5000 persons stating
that refined lard was not an injurious
article. He said it was not claimed that
~cottonseed oil could be used for every
purpose, and he would admit it wa not
fit for crackers. Cromwell argued at
length against the bill, and after further
addresses the hearing was adjourned.

The Walking Match.

New YORK, Feb. 9.-The race at Mad
ison Square Garden was almost without
incident during the morning. Albert is
looked upon as a wonder, He is running
this morning apparently as fresh as when
he begun. At 9 o'clock he was 425 yards
ahead Of the best record for some length
of time made in 1882 by Rowell. At 10
o'clock Albert was four miles and three
laps ahead of the best record for eighty
two hours. Littlewood at Philadelphia
in 1887 made 1884 miles in eighty-two
hours, which has not been beaten until
to-day.
Guerrero had another severe spell of
bleeding at the nose this afternoon and is
thought to be in a bad way. At midnight
the score was: Albert $50, Panchot 437,
Hcrty 427, Guerrero 420, Hart 399, Tay-
lor 27S, Golden $3.50. Moore 81, Strokel
$50, Noremac 34S, Dillon $40, Vint 2S7,
Sullivan 27S, Tilly 24G and Stout III.
At the end of the fourth day Albert
had completed $50 miles, three miles
ahead of the worlds record, made by
Fitzgerald in 1884.

Stocks and Cattle Markets.

New YoRK, Feb. 9.-The stock mar.
ket was again very dull to-day, but the
tone of trading was much better than
yesterday, and the losses shown last even
ing were about recovered, and on much
smaller business. There was less bearish
news from the West and the attacks of
the bears lacked the vim displayed of
late, for the market was somewhat of a
surprise to them, as there was no pressure
of stock and the sales of yesterday seemed
to have been absorbed by the bulls.
Everything, almost without exception, is
higher this evening, but advances are for
fractional amounts only.
Governments dull and heavy. Mining
shares dull. Money pa 8 per cent.
Copper-Market firm. Lake SIG so.
Petroleum opened firm at gO9, but
after a fractional advance became weak
and declined before noon. A slight
rally then occurred, after which the mar
kct became quiet, and closed steady at [.
