"How do 7 zook?"
That depends, madam, upon how
you feel. If you're suffering from
functional disturbances, irregulari-
ties or weaknesses, you're sure to
"look it," And DR.. Pierce's Fa-
vorite Prescription is the remedy.
1t builds up and invigorates the
system, regulates and promotes the
proper functions, and restores health
and strength. It's a legitimate
medicine, not a beverage purely
vegetable, perfectly harmless, and
made especially for woman's needs.
In the cure of all "female COM
plaints," it's guaranteed to give sat-
isfaction, or the money is refunded.
No other medicine for women is
sold so. Think of that, when the
dealer says something else (Which
pays him better) is "just as good"
"Times have changed" So have
methods. The modern improve
ments in pills are DR.. Pierce's Pleas
ant Pellets. They help Nature, in
stead of fighting with her. Sick
and nervous headache, biliousness,
costiveness, and all arrangements
of the liver, stomach and bowels
are prevented, relieved, and our0d.

quarter of century. The total horse
power of these engines is estimated at
a0,000,00o, of which the United States
takes the lead with 100000 horse
power, Great Britain 1000 900, Ger
many 100000, France 5000. 600 and
Austria 100000. Considering that the
horse power of an engine is equivalent
on an average to the power of seven
men, the worlds steam engines repre-
sent the energy Of 1000, 900, 800 men, or
double the number of workers in the

"The labor we delight In physics
pain, but the man Of the people" who
really takes pleasure in the hard work
OF receiving and reciprocating the ora
tions made Mt him and letters written
to him by his friends and admirers,
must be gifted with an immense amount
of energy supplemented by porpor-
tionate share of love of appreciation and
self-esteem To be besieged by COM
mittees. serenaded by brass bands,
epistolized at the rate of half a bushel
of letters per day, and haunted by re-
portorial geniuses, can not, one would
think, be particularly amusing.
Yet these are only Il small part of tho
penalties of celebrity in this free-and-
easy land. The popular mau can not
even call his right hand his own.
Everybody has, or claims to have,
right to shake it. When Lafayette was
in this country, the fexors and ex-
tensors of his dextor arm became so
sore with incessant exercise that he
was compelled to wear the limb in a
sling. and substitute his left for public
purposes until the Inflammation had
subsided. Mr.. Clay often complained
of the fatigue he underwent while being
subjected to the pump-handle process;
and even Old Hickory's tough biceps
sometimes succumbed to the vigor Of
the democratic bone and sinew.
In short, it requires u frame of iron
and a mind as elastic as spiral spring
to sustain the pressure of popularity in
this enthusiastic republic. Our distin-
tinguished men have no privacy. They
are. in fact, the peoples slaves, which
is rather hard in free country. Does
the honor compensate ior the annoy
ance? Is the game worth the candle9
1t may be to some folk-indeed it is, or
they would not 'seel the bubble repn-
tation" regardless of the wear and tear
of mind and body which it involves;
but, looking at the matter philosophical
ly, it seems to us that comfortable OBJ
scurity is prefera BILE to continuous glori-
ication.-N. Y. Ledger.

A TROUBLED MIND.
Desperate attempt Of a German Girl 10
Commit Suicide.

SACRAMENTO, Jan. 26.-Lena Hemmer, a
comely German girl IS years of age, en-
ployed at the residence of John Studarus
Jr. at Hangtown Crossing attempted sui
eide in a most sensational way about g 80
o'clock last evening. The girl had been at
Studarus' only about two months. She ar
rived from Germany less than one year ago,
and can speak very little English. 1t had
been observed for several days that she was
acting strangely, and the girl appeared at
times to be deeply troubled. Last evening,
when only the lady members Of the family
were at home, the attention of those present
was attracted TO strange noise coming
from Lena's room. The door was opened
aud the girl was found standing in the mid
die of the floor, blood gushing from terrible
wounds in her head, and running down
over her face and shoulders and satu-
rating her clothing. The Mortified behold
ers ran screaming from the house and
toward the store at HangtOwn. 1helnjured
girl followed, but was caught by gentle
man and carried back into the house. In
Yestgation proved that the girl had taken a
heavy meat cleayer, stood in front of
a mirror and deliberately hacked herself in
the head. One frightful cash extended al
most entirely across her forehead, while an
other, equally as long and deep, was To-
Gated further back. On a writing-Stand in
the room where the girl made the attempt
upon her life was found an unfinished let
ter written by the girl. 1t was in German,
and was not directed by name to any one,
and read as follows:
RoUTIERs, 1891.
TO my only dear friend-I want to write you
again few words. ! am well aud hearty but
not always right well have trouble on my
mind
A physician was Immediately summoned
from Sacramento by telephone, and it is be-
lleved she will recover. The only motive
ascribed for her rash act is that she has be-
come temporarily insane from brooding
over some secret trouble. She has sister
named Rosa Hemmer, who lives at Elk
Grove, and another sister who resides in
Yolo County.
