Everything.

CHARIEsTowN, Mass. There has been
in this place much wonder and comment
of late in regard to certain lady-a Mrs
Agnes S. Morton, who resides at 1888
Main st., Charlestown, Mass. She was
seen at her home and explained the
whole interesting matter as follows:

Such is the lady's remarkable story. and
we doubt if such wonderful cures have
ever before been made as are effected by
this truly valuable discovery, DR.. Greene's
Nervura blood and nerve remedy.
1t is a fact that everybody needs a
spring medicine, something to tone up
and strengthen the nerves, invigorate the
blood and start up a healthy action of the
organs and no medicine in the world so
perfectly and completely does this as DIR.

The POWER OF WATER.

Constantly Working in One Form or An
other to Destroy the Land.
A southern engineer contributes an
article on Geology and the Mississippi
Problem to the Engineering Magazine.
In it he says:

popularity conceived, it is the great de-
strover. The destruction of ancient
Rome has been attributed TO time. But
it was due simply to the moisture OF
the atmosphere working through
chemical agencies. II was water, in
visible, but penetrating even the very
stones of the wonderful city, that
caused her to crumble into ruins, and
gave to modern Rome grade greatly
elevated above her ancient grade. But

RUNNING The GAUNTLET.

A Young American Girls Foolhardy Feat
In st. Petersburg.
A military punishment once prevalent
in Europe consisted in compelling the
offender to run between two files OF
men who stood facing each other, and
who were privileged to strike him as he
passed. The gauntlets upon the mems
hands being bullet-proof. of copper or
steel, often made the punishment very
severe.
Whenever a girl voluntarily places
herself in a position to draw forth I'M
favorable comment, she may be said to
run the gauntlet. Seldom does she es-
ape unscathed.
A few years ago, according to Youths
Companion, an uninitiated American
girl, walking in st. Petersburg, wished
to pass down certain street The
gentleman with her objected, saying II
would be necessary to pass a certain
famous clubhouse where all the diplo-
matte corps and young guardsmen spent
the morning, and that she would not
enjoy their silly and often indecent
jests.
s'Indecentl'' was her reply. II think
can stand these gentlemen My &C
tons can bear the light; we will not
retreat before the enemy"
'sAs you like" was the vexed reply
The words were hardly uttered before
party of young men, talking loudly
and smoking their cigarettes, came
striding out of the club. They parted
to let the couple pass, indulging mean
while in bold staring and comments in
language which happily the girl did
not understand.

YOUR WEDDING RING.
Thoughts That Stir the Man Who Holds
That Mystic Circlot.

TnouRhto Tnat SUR the mAn VINO hoAus
That Mystic Circlet.
You take from your pocket the dain-
ty casket, and, with the shining circlet
In your fingers, fall to dreaming of the
things to be. In the sanctuary OF your
heart vows are registered-vows of
honor, of truth, of tenderness. The
ring finds its way to your lips shyly,
reverently, as a thing still subtly
aloof, while belonging to you, and
you bend your head and instinctively
invoke blessings on the new life and
formulate an inarticulate prayer that
God will help you to worthiness of the
pure hand so soon to wear your we'd
ding ring.
Love holds before you a fairy mirror,
In which the morrow's scene depicts
itself You see the dear form in snowy
garments, enveloped in lace, moving
softly beside you up the aisle. The
beautiful hair is crowned with orange
flowers, and the beautiful eyes meet
yours with tenderness in their clear
depths. A smile like April sunshine
plays family about the sweet lips, and
the hand on your arm trembles lit
tie. The organ peals with joyous
movement for a space, during which
you find yourself before the altar; then
1t ceases, and priest repeats, with So
lemnity fitting the ceremony, the strong
comprehensive words which bind two
lives together for veal or woe till
death shall part them.
Then if you be a true man, upon you
comes swiftly the realization of respon-
sibility and sense of power over hui
man happiness, to make or mar it. and
you gasp a little and shrink, then,
square your shoulders bravely with
prayer in your heart. and in your eyes
the sunrise of a nobler, fuller day.
And beside you stands the wonderful
white-robed creature who Is part
from you, and yet mystically part of
you, and miracle begins to unfold:
for she is your wife, and upon the third
finger of her left hand CLEANS your
golden wedding ring.-Peterson's Mag
azine.

It will cost you less money to
paint your house with Chiffon
Paint than any other kind. You
will use fewer gallons of it than
any paint ever made, for every
shade is mixed and ground in
pure linseed oil seven times, and
therefore will cover more surface
than a paint made in an ordinary
way. Not only will it cover
more, but 1t will last for years II
it is applied to a dry surface.
Never allow your painter to work
over wet wood. You are sure to
be disappointed. If the pores of
the wood are filed with water,
the oil cannot enter. Better not
have your house painted at all
than to have it done badly. Ad-

Description of the Pest, Its Habits, and
How to Exterminate 1t.
The term cutworm is very loosely
used, being often applied to the larvae
of the June bug, which cut grass roots,
to the wire worms, the larve of the
swapping beetles, and even to the
borers that cut channels In woody
plants. The term cutworm is princi-
pally confined by entomologists to
larvee of the owlet moths (Noctusdo),
that have the habit of hiding just
under the surface of the ground during
the day and feeding upon the roots,
stems or leaves of plants by night
When the Larvae climb high and feed
upon the foliage of tall plants or trees.
they are called climbing cutworms-
The cutworms may be known by the
following general characters: The
moths known as dart moths or owlet
moths are deltoid or triangular in
shape when the wings are closed, and
usually fly at night, and often enter
rooms, being attracted by the light.
The worms when full grown measure
from one to two inches in length, have
sixteen legs, thick bodies which taper
somewhat at the ends, without hairs
and greasy looking, brown gray or
