Funeral Expenses
C. S. Will SON.

These who have had the grip know the
TERRIBLE WEAKNESS following

lively strengthens the system and cures this

New Life for the Aged!

Picture to yourself the usual condition of old

poor appetite, rheumatism, and grievous aches.

A oLlrrERINa COLLECTION.

New Designs in Jewelry and Bric-a.
 Brac.
 Small pearls are recovering lost popularity.
 A carnation of colored enamel is chatelaine pin.
 Liquor sets of ruby glass with gilt fligree mountings are new.
 Colored pearls are very fashionable, but they must be large. r. Perforated silver boxes are for every thing but cigars and cigarettes.
 Chafing and fruit dishes of silver mounted on tripod-shaped legs richly chased are elegant in design.
 A new smoking set is of highly pol ished silver, perfectly simple in form and with a raised silver edge.
 Feathers and aigrettes for the hair are worn more than ever for full dress and are mounted on gold hairpins-
 There is & fancy for large semi precious stones, such as fine colored topazes and aquamarines as pendants
 A calendar and cord counters shaped like an egg with gilded head breaking through the top seems to be favorite design.
 Hoop earrings, alternate diamonds and sapphires or emeralds, keep their hold with people who like considerable accent in dress.
 A new watch chatelaine pin is a grif fin or other medieval bird with wings outspread as in brass candlesticks. It holds sword with a jeweled head.
 The silver sleeve buttons of summer show a tendency toward plaids of enamel. Scotch plaids in all things are showing new signs of conquest
 Collar and cuff boxes of silver are in pretty new designs. These have round polished bodies and chased borders. Within they are lined with colored silks.
 Bottles for salt have come to be in dispensable, or so regarded. They are glass with metal tops. There is scarce ly any limit to the luxury expended on these.
 There has been disposition to intro duce flowers as chatelaine pins, but with poor success. The conventional ized f1eur-de-lis is popular, but bow knots and twisted gold wires prevail. An old treatment is revived in jeweled designs set in amethysts and turquoise. A necklace seen was fine gold thread with pendants of amethysts inclosing tiny sprig-like designs. The V-shaped gown has led to the in- troduction of a new gold necklace. This is a network of gold, each of the outer intersections having tiny round bead pendant It is three-cornered, the point falling into the opening of the gown. The network lies against the neck, and the effect is charming Jewellers Circular.

SECRETARY CHARLES FOSTER is very much opposed to prohibiting immigra- tion by presidential proclamation, not withstanding the opinion of the attor- ney general that it can be done legally. The steamship companies have all prom ised not to bring steerage passengers from Europe as long as there is danger from cholera. That puts stop to in1- migration. It also prevents lot of Americans now in Europe, who are un- able to pay more than steerage passage, from returning home. It seems hard to shut out our own citizens because they are not able to pay cabin passage, and treas ury officials are trying to study up some plan that will be just without being dangerous. Several of the steamship companies have offered to allow bona fide American citizens now in Europe and unable to pay more, to come home as second class passengers on their re- turn steerage tickets; but the officials are little afraid to give their consent to this plan as it would be almost cer- tain to be abused. Something has got to be done, as demands have already been made by foreign authorities to know if these Americans are to be left over there as paupers.

old Hickory as a Protectionist.

The impotence of the Republicans in this campaign is far above par. They are even claiming Andrew Jackson as protectionist! Their desperate attempt to extract few grains of comfort from the result of the Vermont and Maine elections has shown them to have the capacity of being "contented wi little,' y but what comfort can they find in the following words from Old Hickory's farewell address,, "The corporations and wealthy individuals who are en- gagged in large manufacturing establish ments desire high tariff to increase their gains. Designing politicians will support it to conciliate their favor and to obtain the means of profuse expendi- ture for the purpose of purchasing in fuence in other quarters. Do not allow yourselves, my fellow citizens, to be misled on this subject. The federal government cannot collect a surplus for such purposes without violating the principles of the constitution and as- suming powers which have not been granted. It is, moreover, a system of injustice, and if persisted in will inev- itably lead to corruption and must end in 1.11in 5

What Tariff Reform Can Do.

Secretary Foster has returned from his vacation. Before he entered upon the speechmaking tour which is said to have convinced MT. Harrison that he is not discreet enough to be 8 campaign leader he directed Major Brock, of the bureau of statistics of foreign trade, to fix up document for campaignsciroula- tion showing how the Mckinley bill has stimulated things during the past year.
 This document, among other things, shows that we have netted a clean $1O,- 0OO,0O0 through reciprocity Qimited free trade), and have profted to the extent of the removal of former Mckinley du- ties. Side by side with the report of our alleged gains goes the reiterated state ment of how the late Republican con gress increased the free list and lowered the rate of taxation.
 The joke of Major Brooks showing is that it amounts substantially to tariff reform argument. We have profited in proportion as we have removed duties.- Boston Globe.

Early Marriages and Late.

An important outcome of social preju- lice and custom is the average age at which marriage takes place. That this may have very great effect upon the reproductive power of race has been shown by Francis Galton. Taking two populations of equal number, in one of which the women are supposed to mar ry at the age of 20 and in the other at 29, he calculates that, all other things being equal, in 324 years the former will have increased from 100 to 535. while the latter will have decreased from 100 to 23. The general result is that the latter group gradually disap- pears, while the former more than sur plants 1.-The Wedding Ring.

CoNGREssMEN and officials high up in the administration, aided by the re- publican national committee, have been and are now hard at work trying to prejudice democratic members of the G. A. R, now at Washington, against Mir Cleveland. To accomplish this purpose thousands of copies of pam phlet, containing garbled extracts from
 Mir Cleveland's pension veto messages, are being slyly circulated among them, and large number of members of the G. A. R., some of them said to be in the pay of the national republican com mittee, are continually harping on the same subject. In addition, there are a number of republican senators and representatives, chief among them being Senator Proctor of Vermont, who was dug out of obscurity and put at the head of the war department by Mir Harrison, who are openly shouting about "Cleveland's dislike for the old soldiers" and doing their level best to create a prejudice against Mir Cleveland. It is little short of disgusting that the which should be only a pleasant reunion of the men who served in the army together, should be used,

TREATMENT OF DANDRUTE

Extract From a Lecture By Dr. J. H. KeA
 logg, of the Battle Creek Sanitarium.
 Dandruff, if excessive, is species of try catarrh of the skin or scalp, which is characterized by the throwing off of dry, white scales too profusely. Man is scaly creature like fish, as is proven by the microscopical examina- tion of the epidermis. These scales are rubbed off by the clothing and are wis ible upon anything black. When one takes Turkish bath, the precipitation softens up this epidermis and the sham pooing which follows takes it off, so, to a certain extent, one is skinned while taking bath of this kind. Now this process is going on all the while and the parts which have the most attrition with external bodies, those which are most exposed, are kept the most thor oughly clean and free from this condi- tion. For instance, we do not have these scales upon the palms of the hands because the frequent contact of the palm of the hands with various objects keeps the dead scales rubbed off. For obvious reasons the scales upon the skin of the scalp are more liable to ac- cumulate than elsewhere, even when the skin is healthy. When hats and bonnets are constantly worn, the scalp Is so protected that though the dead scales are thrown off they are not shed and these make an accumulation of dandruff.
 In this case the remedy consists in brushing the scalp-most people make the mistake of brushing the hair, when it is not the hair that needs friction, but the Scaln. YOu will notice A barber put the hair aside with his fingers and follow the parting with his brush. In this way the scalp can be thoroughly cleansed. The scalp needs such brush ing three or four times week in order to keep it free from the scales which are constantly being thrown off. Clean, Illness will cure dandruff unless it is really a case of catarrh of the scalp. Equal parts of alcohol and castor oil, applied after thorough shampoo, two or three times week is an excellent remedy.-Reported by Helen L. Mann ing.

abilities of their recent achievements are unquestionably due in great mea- sure to that new-fangled contrivance, the bicycle sullzy, with it's ball-bearing axles and pneumatic tires. The adop- ton of this new sulky in place of the conventional high-wheeled and airy affair which Dexter and Goldsmith Maid, Sunol and Maud S hauled about the track in earning their fame, had much to do in making the new queen and king of the turf, Nancy Hanks and Hal Pointer, for it has been an admitted principle of mechanics that ball-bearing axles were subject to less friction than the old style of hub and parallel axle, while the superiority of the pneumatic tire over the non-elastic steel or iron one has been demonstrated beyond question within the last year.
 Bicycle riders have maintained that the pneumatic tire on ban-set wheel is from two to five seconds a mile faster than the solid rubber tire, the superior ity of which over the iron or steel tire has never been questioned any more than has that of the modern bicycle over the cumbersome velocipede that found some favor and even become a fad in France thirty years ago, and from which the perfect wheel of to-day has been evolved.

How Wanamaker Got There

Republican organs are accustomed to treat lightly the charge made by the Democrats that the present postmaster general was put in the cabinet as re- ward for his services in raising money for election purposes four years ago But the truth of this charge is clearly established by the admissions of the very men who helped Wanamaker to raise that famous $4OO,O00 few days before the election.
 The rich manufacturers of Philadel- phia who contributed most of the great corruption fund for Quay's use, are members of the Philadelphia Manufac- turers' club, an organization of high protectionists. The organ of the club is The Manufacturer. Soon after Wana- makers appointment as postmaster gen. eral this journal said:
 'It is to the men that give the cash that a large, if not the largest, share of success is due. We make the assertion that the money contributed by this cluE last year had more influence upon the result of the national election than all the skill, the ingenuity, the labor and the wire pulling of all the professional politicians in Philadelphia. We believe this proposition to be capable of positive proof. If, therefore, control of patron age is rightly the reward of victorious effort, the right of this club to name the federal officeholders of Philadelphia rests upon solid ground"
 They accepted Wanamaker's appoint. ment as the reward for the fat whicl was fried out of them and did not hesi tate to publish the fact. And the Re publican party used to boast that it was the "party of high moral ideas!'

Vireinia's Dismal Swamp.

The Dismal swamp in Virginia, one of the largest swampy tracts in Amer ica, is also one of the most promising areas of reclamation. 1t contains fully 1,5OO square miles, and is at present of little value except for a supply of tim Der. It is an old sea bottom and the western boundary of the swamp is a sea cliff and beach. The chief animal pop ulation of the higher classes consists of water birds and snakes. Of the larger animals bears are abundant and there is peculiar and very ferocious species of wild horned cattle. The fights of the bears are said to be vefy exciting.

land and Harrison.
 MT. Harrison, whatever may be his other qualities, clearly does not awaken enthusiasm. Even those who have re- spect for his shrewdness, and, who are profoundly convinced that his cause is the right cause, do not feel any great confidence in him or any attachment at all to his personality.
 The most confirmed Republicans con- fess that their cause might be in better hands, and regret that their candidate does not inspire the feeling of admira- tion and loyalty that is so potent fac tor in popular elections. MT. Cleveland, on the other hand, does inspire a very deep sentiment of personal trust and re- gard, and, what is very important, he inspires this sentiment most strongly among the plain people, the average citizens of the republic. These men reason very simply that the man who has shown himself unselfsh, sincere, stanch, is man "to tie to-" They may not understand all his views. They may differ from some of them. But they feel that here is man who will form views for himself, will form them fairly, as he thinks the right requires, and will sus. tain them at any cost.
 It was this deeply seated feeling that forced the nomination of MT. Cleveland upon his party. And curiously enough now that he is nominated, it is this feel ing that makes him intensely popular with great body of Democrats, who before had been associated with those opposed to his nomination. All trust, worthy reports agree that the Democrats of New York city and Brooklyn are to. day among the frmest, the most eager and the most energetic supporters of MT Cleveland. With just cause and g leader who is the very embodiment oi that cause, the Democracy is making al aggressive campaign. It could make nc other, and it bids fair to win because il deserves to win.-New York Times.

Finally, when, as she says, her time began to seem to be all most done, she resolved to start for England by herself. She did, indeed, set out alone, with no other credential of her mission than a satin quilt, em- broidered with a pattern of the coffee plant, which she hoped the queen might accept from her. However, she found friends on the voyage, and on her ar

Finally he succeeded in ob- taining for her an interview with the queen, Mrs. Blyden, the wife of the minister, taking the latter-day pilgrim to Windsor with her on an unofficial visit. The little party of Liberians also included Dr. Blyden's daughter and granddaughter. The queen received her guests surrounded by her own chil- dren and grandchildren, the Prince and Princess of Wales, Princess Beatrice and Princesses Victoria and Maud. Each of the guests were presented to the queen, who shook hands with them, and said some gracious words.

An Octopus for the Worlds Fair.

A huge octopus or devilfish has bee captured outside the Golden Gate, Cal. by some fishermen. It measured four teen feet fron the end of the body to the end of the longest tentacle and has eight arms and, as is usual with the fish, there are over 500 suckers on the arms. The body is nothing but a huge sack, and is soft and flabby; is about two ufeet long. There are two eyes about an inch in diameter, and faint resemblance to a beak and mouth.

The morally good or bad within us has cen ably set forth in the story of Dr Jekyll and MT Hyde, but did it ever occur to you that there was a physical application of this remarkable story, more real and terrible than the contrasts of moral attributes?
 The moral perfection of Dr Jekyll is represented in our physical systems by sound, strong and vigorous health-the skulking, murderous immortality of Mir Hyde has it's prototype in the weakness or disease of our vital organs, which often exist within us, and which may, at any moment rise, overcome our strong health, and hold us in it's deadly grasp.
 How many diseases there are which thus grapple us before we are aware of our peril! We often neglect little weakness or exhaustion, nervousness, tired brain, sleepless nights, from which we wake tired and unrefreshed, weary, languid feeling, headache, confusion of mind, dullness, loss of memory, strange sensations-which mean insanity. Cold feet and limbs, numbness, trembling, pricking sensation, extreme weariness of limbs-mean paralysis. Poor blood, low vitality, pale complexion and great | weakness-mean consumption. We often disregard the weakness of ner. \ NOuS Iu0 ulSOEueF OI stomach, liver or kidneys, until fatal disease fastens upon us.
 You neglect these symptoms at your peril, for they may run into incurable | disease.
 You should use immediately that won- derful remedy, Dr Greenes Nervura blood and nerve remedy, the pure vege- | table medicine, which restores vigor to the tired brain, strength to the weak and shattered nerves, vitality and health to the exhausted body, and thus prevent fatal results.

 "I had poor health for several years. Have been under the treatment of many doctors, but they did me no good. The more medicine I took, the weaker I grew; was so bad at last that I could not eat or sleep, and had a cough that almost racked me to pieces. had pains in my chest which made breathing very difficult: As my father, brother and sister had died with con- sumption, I thought my time had come. With much pleasurej and grati- tirely cured of my troubles by Dr Greene's Nervura blood and nerve re- medy. My appetite IS excellent, food digests easily, sleep is refreshing, and altogether feel restored to health once more. l most earnestly recommend Dr Greene's Nervura blood and nerve re- medy to all who are afflicted with ob- stinate chronic, nervous or painful dis eases. l have recommended it to many suffers, and am pleased to say that it has given general satisfaction.
