"My friends and family are much sur
prised to see me we'll again."
This is especially the time Of year
when awonderful cure like this should
be published far and wide, for now is
the time when more people are ailing
and complaining of poor blood, nerv-
business, weak and tired feelings, stomach,
kidney and liver complaints. etc, than
at any other season. In fact now is the
time that verybody is thinking of tax
ing spring medicine, and decide what
is best to take.
The cure of Mr. Gould should decide
the question as to what to take, for the
great remedy which restored him to
health and strength will cure others. II
is fact beyond doubt that DIR Greene's
Nervura blood and nerve remedy is the
greatest of all health restorers and is,
above all others, the best spring medi
cine to vitalize the blood, strengthen the
nerves and start up natural and healthy
action of all the organs.
Druggists keep it for 81, and it is pure
" vegetable and harmless. It is the dis
covery and prescription of DIR Greene o.

Broken hearts have gone out of fash
ion with the old three-volume novel
and fainting spells The girl with the
hurt in her heart nowadays forgets it,
or preteods to, in the glories of a ca
reer. She takes to typewriting, or the
reformation of the coolies, or women's
clubs, and rather enjoys the pain in an
esthetic sort of way, because it means
growth" and is experience and all
that. Now with the perversity of fate
there has arisen o. prophet in Israel
who justifies the old romancers in kill,
ing off their disappointed heroines
From the recently published letters OF
Sir George Paget, who is not ro
mancer, it is interesting to learn that
broken heart is not a sentimental
figure of speech. Great grief causing
a sudden shock produces actual rupture
of the muscles of that organ and deatl
from exhaustion may follow.

AFTER THE FLOOD.
Beautiful Pen Picture of Early Morning

Beautiful Pen Picture of Early Morning
on the Mississippi.
Mary Hartwel Catherwood, in the
conclusion of her story, "Old Kaskas-
kia," in the Atlantic, thus writes of the
morning after the great flood:
Early summer dawn was breaking
over that deluged world, whittier
light than moonshine giving increas-
ing distinctness to every object. This
hint of day gave rest to the tired ring
ers in church tower and convent bel
fry. The bells died away, and still
ness brooded on the water plain.
Hoarse roaring of the yellow current
became mere monotonous back
ground for other sounds. A breath
stole from the east, bringing the scent
of rain-washed earth and foliage and
sweet minis. There was no other
wind and the boat shot easily on its
course alongside thiclzet made by or
chard treetops. Some birds, maybe
proprietors of drowned nests, were al
ready complaining over these, or top
ping experimentally down on branch
| tips.
Kaskaskia had become a strong half
town, cut off around its middle. 1t af,
fected one like man standing on his
armpits. The capital of the territory
was composed chiefly of roofs and dor.
mer windows, of squatty wooden is
| lands in boundless sea. The church
of the immaculate conception was a
laughable tent of masonry, top heavy
| with it's square tower. AS for cult
| waited fields and the pastures where
the cattle grazed, such vanished real
tiles were forgotten. And what was
washing over the marble. tombs ant
slate crosses in the churchyard?
The flood strangely lifted and forced
sbyward the plane of life, yet lowered
all life's functions. An open and lib
eral sky, dappling with promise from
the east, bent over and Knocked para
llyzed humanity.

LONDON, April 29.-The family histor!
of William Townsend, who is now un
der arrest on the nominal charge Of
having discharged IL revolver unlawfuily
in a public place, but really on sus
plcion of having intended to assassinatq
Mr. Gladstone, indicates that he is no
mentally sound.
Townsend lay in wait for Mr.. Glad
stone with the full purpose of numbering
the Premier. He was armed with a LOADED
revolver, and was deli bera tely prepared t.
shoot Mr.. Gladstone as soon as he CAM
within reach.
When ''The Grand Old Man" cam
out of his residence, and the would be as
sassin saw him, his purpose weakened, TO
the peculiar reason that the venerable ap
pearance of the Premier reminded Town
send of the appearance of his own fathe
shortly before death.
The would-be assassin was seemingl
overcome with emotion and the pistC
slipped from his fingers and he rushed int
the park and sank on q bench and burst int
tears. The assertion is made that TOwnSen
went into the central hall of the House c
Commons and vigorously denounced til

It Took a Horse to Bring the Monster

Matthias Ketchera, hostler of the
Seal Rock house on the ocean beach,
lately caught the largest sea bass that
the coast has seen for many long
day, 1t is Ketchera's business to rise
early each morning and, hitching a
horse to a wagon, patrol the sands for
q couple of hours in search of drift
wood. When he has collected his daily
pile he returns to the hotel, unhitches
his horse and awaits customers. But
Matthias, or Mike, as he is moro famil-
iarly termed, has other callings. He
is the clone fisherman" of the beach.
Every one knows him, for he is IA
nous. Each day as he scours the
beach for wood he takes O long line
with him, which he throws out into
the sea and awaits results. A few days
ago, according to the San Francisco
Examiner, he got more than he bar
gained for.
Matthias had scarcely thrown his line
when, to his establishment, it was
pulled from his grasp. He had some to
spare, however, and grasping anew en-
deavored to land his prize. Soon the
jumpings and writings of large OBJ
3ect came to his vision, and Matthias
concluded that he had hooked some
sea monster. Pull as he would he could
not haul in his line. Then his inven.
tive genius asserted itself. Hastily

A NEW YORK physician maintains
that it is not poverty of diet so much
as monotony of diet that exercises an
unhealthful influence on the poor. As
a matter of fact they eat stronger
food than the rich, moro bread, meat
and simple vegetables, but their cook
ing is rude, and they eat the same
things the whole year through. Peo-
pie who are we'll to do, or who are bet
ter cooks, get more variety with fewer
things, and always have something to
tempt the appetite. Soup can be made
to resemble greasy dishwater, or it can
be made really savory and nutritious
thing, and there are a hundred differ.
ent ways of serving potatoes. The
physician thinks that free cooking
schools would be a frst-rate thing il
the tenement district.

QUEER MIRRORS OF OLD.
Polished Metal Plates Used by Orientals-
The Looking Glasses of To-Day.

Polished Metal Plates Used by Orientals-
The Looking Glasses of To-day.
Looking-glasses of old were highly
polished metal plates They were
small and provided with a handle.
Grand ladies intrusted their mirrors to
the care of female slave, whose duty
e was to keep them clean and free from
stain or rust, and hand them to her
mistress when the latter required them.
The Chinese and Japanese formerly
used mirrors made of simple metallic
plate. The Japanese had story of
the invention of the mirror. The sun
goddess, they. said, once upon time
got into a great rage about something,
and retired tn q cavern, vowing that
she would never come out again. AS
she was the mother of light her retire
ment put the wkolekearth in darkness.
The other gods an& goddesses did all
they could in ordeJ to persuade her to
come out again, an& finally invented a
mirror, which theH placed at the en-
trance of the cave The angry goddess
looked at it, and 81 eing, as she thought,
another goddess whose beauty was
equal to her own, emerged, mad with
jealousy, from sher retreat, and the
land was once again Illuminated by the
light of the sun.
Glass mirrors, says the Chicago Her
aid, are supposed to have been first
used in Sidon. Like almost everything
else, they were very dear for a long
time after their introduction. We read
| in letter written in 1878 by Colbert to
Count Auvaux that even if mirrors had
been manufactured in France at that
time, nobody but the king would have
been rich enough to buy one. The an
nual manufacture in Europe at the
present time, according to the latest
statistics we have been able to get, is
| something like one million eight hun.
| dred and fifty thousand square yards OF
| looking glass.
In the mirrors of to-day the light is
| reflected by a layer of silver or an ANAL
| gam of tin, but proportion of light is
lost in the process of reflection and the
image is less luminous than the orig
inal. The value of a looking glass il
usually estimated by the thickness o.
| the glass, because the thicker they are
the stronger they must be; but, speak
ing scientifically, thick glasses are de
fective, because the outlines of the i'm
age reflected are less clearly defined
There are really three reflections, ant
consequently three images, in ever.
glass mirror; one from the upper sur
face of the glass, the second from thu
lower surface and the third from the
metallic layer at the back. An idea
mirror is one with a perfectly fat sur
face, but it is only possible to Obtain
this result in comparatively small
glasses. The larger glasses do not re
fleet true image because it is not pos
sible to make them quite fiat.

REGARDING the appointment of PEN
sion examining boards, of which there
are / 900 or 200 throughout the coun-
try, each being composed of three
physicians, Secretary of the Interior
Smith is accredited with having de-
clared that he will not appoint to these
positions any of the older physicians.
AS a rule these boards have been COM
posed of the oldest physicians in the dis.
tricts over which they have jurisdiction,
and it is said to be the intention OF
Secretary Smith to now fill these places
with much younger men. He says he
hopes it will not be necessary to appoint

preference will be given to young col

Counting Gold Coin.

The counting of money in the vaults
of the treasury at Washington is not
so troublesome or tedious task as
might be imagined. In counting
twenty-dollar gold pieces experience
has shown them to be so uniform that
only one pile is counted, and the rest
of the money is stacked and measured
by this pile, until the last pile is
reached, when that also is counted.
In this way the counting proceeds
rapidly, Gold in small er denomina-
tions is always counted or weighed.
Silver Is much more troublesome to
coun' than gold
