HOW CAN We Do IT?
That Is What Is Agitating
The Public Mind.
We All Know That Something Must
Soon Be Done About 1t,
How To Meet a Great Crisis Among
Our People.
Something must be done about it.

Something must be done about it.
There is no doubt about that.
And that something must be done
quickly, or it may he too late,
On behalf of our readers we have made
some very important Investigations in this
vicinity, and we have to report that our
apprehensions were correct and are sub
Stimulated by the facts. We found that
there is greater proportion of our towns
people who are the victims of some form of
nervous or chronic disorders, than ever be-
fore in our history. 1t is a fact beyond
doubt, that these diseases are increasing in
our midst at an alarming rate,
Feeling that something must be done at
once in the matter, we have been in con-
sultation and communication with several
of New York city's most eminent physi-
cians-all specialists in the treatment of
nervous and chronic diseases, and we give
our readers their opinions and advice as to
how to effect cure in these cases.
Dr. S. NJ. Reynolds, one of New York
city's greatest specialists, says unhesitat-
ingly and emphatically
Use DIR. Greene's Nervura blood and
nerve remedy in all such cases. l have
never, in practice of over twenty-five
years, recommended a patent medicine.
This great remedy, however, cannot be
considered under that head, as it is a
physicians prescription. l have used it
among my patients and in my family, and
unhesitatingly pronounce it the most valu-
able remedy for the nerves l have ever
used"
Dr. Henry PeffY, also one of New York
city's great physicians, says;
"Tell your sick people to use Dr. Greene s
Nervura blood and nerve remedy. l have
used it in my practice with wonderful re-
suits l have found it perfect and COM
plete cure for patients in my practice who
were suffering from all forms of nervous
troubles, sleeplessness, headaches, nervous
weakness and debility"
The great New York physician, Emil
Neumer, Md, physican-in-chief of the
New York Lodge and Association Hospital,
writes us:
We are using DIR. Greene's Nervura
blood and nerve remedy at the Hospital for
our patients, with good success"
Other physicians gave us the same advice
for our people, and from the unanimity OF
opinion of the doctors, we are assured that
this great and widely-known remedy is just
what our sick and suffering citizens require
to restore them to health. All the doctors
say that it does cure and all sufferers from
nervousness, weakness, poor blood, debil
ity, stomach, kidney or liver troubles
should give it an immediate trial. We
know that it is a purely vegetable ant
harm less remedy, and our druggists have il
for sale at ST. Another thing of great con
sequence is this, that it is the discovery Of
DIR. Greene of "a Temple Place, Boston,
Mass, who is a renowned specialist in cur
ing nervous and chronic affections, and M
can be consulted free of charge concerning
any case, personally or by letter.

He and She.

They sit together before the fire.
They are wrinkled and gray, and both
are very tired. He has not been sue
cessful in life. She has not been
happy. Fortune and death have robbed
them of everything that they held dear,
and has left them but the one thing for
which they do not care-life.

not be happy all your life? L thought
that with you by my side | could con-

Yes, | remember" she answers

And do you remember" he says
again, "the day that we took our first
child to be baptized? We were very
happy then, and very proud. And we
dreamed that we would spend our old
age in the loving arms of our children,
wealthy, honored, and loved"
Yes, l remember" she answers.
{" We were very happy then"
But now-now-," he says, and
cannot go CD, for there is a tear in his
eye and great lump in his throat.
"Now," she answers, clasping his
withered hand lovingly in hers, " am
happier than l have ever been before in
my life, although until but just now 1
did not realize it. l am very happy,
because God, though he has taken
everything else from me, has left me

MeteOric Stones.

The source of meteoric stones has great
ly puzzled scientists. Many have supposed
them to be projected from lunar volcanoes
TO such distance as to come within range
of the earth S attraction; others have given
them terrestrial volcanic origin. The gen.
orally received opinion is that of Laplace.
who supposed them to be masses Of matter,
small planets in fact, revolving around
the sun and coming within the earth's at
traction. This opinion is carried out by
the fact that showers of meteors occur at
periodical intervals in August and Novem-
Der 1t has been calculated that of mete-
ors bright enough to be visible to the naked
eye on clear, moonless night the number
that enter our atmosphere cannot be less
than 100000, and if those that would be
visible in a telescope are included, at least
400, 100000.
AS there is no reason to believe that the
region in which our earth moves is more
thickly beset with meteoric bodies than
other parts of the solar domain and as the
space through which the earth sweeps In
day is mere point compared with the
whole extent of that domain, the total
number of these bodies that must exist
around the sun is beyond conception. The
hundreds of millions yearly burned up in
our atmosphere (the ashes of which add,
it is estimated, 1000 tons weight to our
earth in three years. will never be missed

A True Story.

In the latter part of the last century
girl in England became kitchen maid
in a farm house. She had many styles
of work, and much hard work. Time
rolled on, and she married the son of
weaver of Halifax. They were indus
trious; they saved money enough after
a while to build them a home. On the
morning of the day when they were TO
enter that home, the young wife rose
at four O'Clock, entered the front door
yard, knelt down, consecrated the place
to God, and there made this solemn
vow; 80, Lord, If thou wilt bless me
in this place, the poor shall have share
of it," Time rolled on, and a fortune
rolled in. Children grew up around
them, and they became prosperous; one,
member of parliament, in a public
place declared that his success came
from that prayer of his mother in the
door-yard. All of them were wealthy
four thousand hands in their factories.
They built dwelling houses for laborers
at cheap rents, and when they were in-
valided and could not pay, they had the
houses for nothing. One of these sons
went TO America, admired the parks,
went back, bought land, and opened a
great public park, and made it present
to the city of Halifax, England. They
endowed ali orphanage, they endowed
two almshouses. All England has
heard of the generosity and good works
of the Crossleys. Moral: Consecrate
to God your small mean and humble
surroundings, aud you will have larger
means and grander surroundings. Lon

Wonders Of Physical Energy.

The physical energy Of force sometimes
eXerted by the human body has long been
known to be of the most astounding ma
ture, but no one, prior to the tabulations
made by DR.. Bucheister in 1890, ever took
the trouble to put that eXerted force be-
fore the people in figures that could be I'M
derstood, The doctor "supposes" things
in this way: Surprising mountaineer
weighing lGS pounds is making the ascent
of a peak 1000 feet high. To begin with,
he must eXpend an amount of physical
force equal to that found by multiplying
his weight by the height to be assembled
In the case assumed, weight of 16S
pounds, multiplied by height of 1000
feet, equals 1,l76,000 foot pounds; or, in
other words, 1,176,000 pounds have to be
lifted one foot.
But this is not all The contractions Of
the muscles of the heart have to be taken
into account which is represented by four
foot pounds of work with each contraction
the pulsations of an adult heart being
about seventy-two per minute; in ascend
ing heights it is much greater. But as
suming 100 beats of the pulse per minute,
for simplicity of calculation, this would
give 400 foot pounds per minute, or "a 900
foot pounds per hour, or 10000 foot pounds
for the five hours supposed to be required
for ascending the 1000 feet. For expan-
sion and contraction of chest and other
muscles further item of 80, 600 foot pounds
must be added. Thus we find the total
work performed during five hours of noun
tain climbing to be equal to 1926, 600 foot
pounds, not counting other forces eXerted
which DIR. Chichester says will run the
grand total up to 1880, 900 foot pounds

No more PRONUNCIATION of the laws
through the newspapers unless the press
undertakes the work as a matter of
journalistic enterprise. The legisla-
ture declines to recoup the publishers
for any part of the cost of laying the
public acts before the people who must
obey them. BY the passage of house
bill 416, all laws 90 into effect February
!, and the statutes in book form must
be ready for delivery at that time.
These are $500 in number, and their
distribution is regulated by law. Eight
thousand five hundred copies of the
laws, issued more than two months
after the laws are made, for the en-
lightenment of 100000 people who like
to be regarded as law-abiding citizens!
And this is a republican form of gov
eminent! Under the old order of
things, by newspaper PRONUNCIATION, a
copy of the statutes was placed in the
hands of about every four or five in
habitants, or a copy in every family.
That was rational. Economy" was
the preteXt for hiding the statutory light
under q bushel. Another such freak
of thrift will breed revolution.

HOUSE bill 440, measure of some
sixty sections, contemplated another
general overhauling of the school law.
1t was introduced late, printed and la
boriously amended in committee of the
whole, and passed the house about mid
night of the closing session. Thus the
situation of two years ago was repro
duced. In the closing hours of a weary
all night session the senate was con-
fronted by measure of the greatest
Importance, which its members should
have had week to think over. That
body did not propose to consider the
measure. 1t was shorn of its multitude
nous sections ripping up existing law,
amended as to the method of distributing
the proceeds of the five per cent tax, and
sent back to the house. That body had
abolished county examiners, and adapted
the bill to the Old town-system of exam
lining and licensing teachers. On these
two points the house and senate split and
eaCn NOteu 10 SUCK 10 us own Position,
The two houses were squarely dead
locked, committee of conference was
raised, and it was half-past six in the
morning before an agreement was
reached. Then the house yielded in
the matter of the county examiners and
the senate conceded to the house the
distribution of the five per cent tax &C
cording to the law of 1890. The bill
was then quickly passed and signed.
The retention of the county examiners
was worth many sacrifices; the return
to town examinations would have been
step backward which would not have
been recovered in many years, In this
respect the senate was right; and the
towns for whose benefit the five per
cent school tax Was created will think
the house was nearer right in the mat
ter of the distribution of that tax than
was the senate. On each side the con.
cessions were judicious and in the right

THE legislature voted a state tax of
fifteen per cent for the next biennial
term, ten per cent payable the first
year and five per cent the second. The
aggregate of appropriations, outside of
money for support of government, is

THE house and senate locked horns
on certain provisions of the revised bal
lot law. The senate insisted that a
cross in the square at the top of group
of candidates should indicate a vote
for the entire ticket. The house de-
clined to accede, but finally agreed to
this concession at the instance of con-
ference committee; aud the senate by
way of exchange yielded some minor
concessions to the house.

1t was while Miss Blythe was en-
gagged to j.. w. .Keyes. the young at

at the MacdOnaldS' house il San Fran

coincident with Introduction, but the

until after the rupture of the engage
ment with Mr.. Keves. Then young
Hinckley lost no time in pressing his
suit. and in short while succeeded in
persuading the prospective heiress to-
wear ring that he purchased for her.
POSSIBLY 1T was because she met
Hlnckley that Miss Blythe was so ready
to end the engagement with Mr.. Reyes.
But those who pretended to know some
thing of it say that the real reason for
the estrangement was because Keyes
expressed himself too freely to in
QulrerS. At any rate, it was very soon
after the fact of the engagement was
printed that it was broken off.
1t is said that while Miss Blythe'S
relatives were not displeased with her
first choice of a husband, they are more
than satisfied with MIR. Hinckley, and
the family of the prospective groom has
no word to say in criticism OF the selec-
ton he has made.
Mrs. Hinckley. the mother of the
prospective groom, was rather chagrined
yesterday when she learned that the
engagement had become public prop
erty.
Il have been so afraid it would get in
the papers," she said. "But my son

Besides, she wanted to complete her
