Fatigue should not be treated as light
matter: Women often say: 81 am per-
fectly we'll, only get tired easily" Then
you are not perfectly well. You need
rest, care and possibly medical treatment
Try the rest first and set your mind from
worries and restraints. With the rest take
nourishing food, not tonics of necessity,
but instead of waiting till luncheon take
cup of beef tea during the forenoon; be-
tween luncheon and dinner an egg lemon
ade or a glass of milk and cracker. Do
not exact from yourself work which you
do not feel equal to; make it point to
lie down to hours each afternoon, and &c
to bed early. Keep this treatment up fol
three months, with all the oue-of-door life
that you feel equa, to, and you will realize
what rest can do. The tired feeling
means that you need rest it is as sure ar
indication as that clock needs winding
when it runs down.-Boston 1rave1er.

TO the committee on coinage. weights and
measures, OF which Wickman, OF Ohio, IL
chairman. The silver men in the house
have been actively engaged in missionary
work In the interest OF free coinage. They
are sangnine OF ultimate success and are
certain the bill cannot be kept indefinitely
in the committee, and that within reason
able time the coinage committee will order
q report made, notwithstanding all efforts
TO prevent the DILL from having an opportu-
nifty for consideration. Bartine, OF Nevada,
one of the outspoken republican advocates
OF free coinage on the committee, said to-
day that he was confident OF getting the
silver bill back to the house. He thought
the sentiment towards silver had grown
much more favorable than it was Inst ses-
sion and that good many republicans
were not inclined to underrate the influence
silver had on the recent election.
The Star says: From the general tenor
OF conversation among tho silver majority
1t WAS apparent they regarded their victory
as merely due to the force of an irresistible
popular demand. which they believe will
make itself felt in similar manner in the
house and ultimately in the executive man
sion. More cautious and conservative
friends OF silver are inclined to think the
aston Of yesterday will prove to have been
fortunate thing for the country. II may
serve to satisfy the strong craving Of the
west and south for financial relief, and
thus prevent recourse to more extreme
measures. in the way of suh.treasury
schemes, fiat money, ETC., which are medi-
tated so seriously by the Farmers' alliance
and rural political agitators in the interior
Of the country. The defeated party takes
the matter calmly, but rather gloomily.
