Valuable Advice for the Present Day.

Mrs. Helen i. sterrett, in a recent num-
Der Of the Forum, contributes an article
entitled Housekeeping in the Future"
In il she tells how in few years electricity
will supply light for the home, the family
cooking and washing will be done outside,
and there viii lie 80 little work in the
household that the occupation Of the do
nestic servant viii be gone.
But Mrs. Stefretts article is simply
prediction, and has no more than passing
interest for the ladies who live in 1880.
TheirBocial and household cares arestrain-
ing their delicate, nervous system, and the
result is terrible. Headaches, backaches,
and womanly ills arc growing alarmingly
common. Many Of them find that mem
Org is falling; they are unable to recall
the names Of friends or tell whether they
have performed some Of their usual house.
hold duties.
Their nerves are in such a condition
that very slight causes, or perhaps no cause
at all, may irritate them. Life grows to be
burden. There IL no need for despair,
but there is great need Of caution. Their
nerves should be built up, life fortified,
and brain restored with that remarkable
preparation, Paine's Celery Compound.
Instead of the depressed and languid feel
ings, after the Compound has been used
they viii feel active, vigorous, and happy.
To those who are weak and failing, and
desire health and happiness instead Of i'll
ness and misery, we earnestly urge that
they act upon this advice.

It WAS said that the switchmen at

strike, and in not one instance was

An Early Eruption Indicated by the Eall

REDD1Na, COL, June 18.-Travelers
familiar with volcanic phenomena, say
the falling in of the principal peak Of
Mt. Shasta indicates an eruption at an
early date. Residents in the neighbor-
hood are greatly alarmed and are max
ing preparations to escape to safe
distance.
Tho top Of the peak is cut short
off and must have fallen into the crat er
below, the depths of which have never
been penetrated by tho eye of man. It
is thought that the absence of this old
landmark may indicate further demon
strations Of q volcanic nature. Fire
has long been known to exist in the
crater, and tho lava formations Of the
valleys and ridges below It give rise to
tho question, may not the convulsion
