asking FOR the repeal with some substl-

A trembling hand, an uncertain step,
fidgetiness, indicated by restless shifting
from one place or posture to another,
usually mental annoyance at unexpected
noises, are among the indications OF ex-
treme nervousness. These seem trifling,
but the health of men and women IN this

be overthrown disastrousiy by causes
which the vigorous might defy. To for
tity the nervous system, general vigor
must, through the medium of reinforced
digestion and renewal of an impaired
power OF sleeping at night, be raised to a
healthful standard. A guarantee of this
is Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, which re-
establishes digestion, bile secretion and
the habit of body on permanently regu-

equilibrium, which is followed by gain
of strength and nerve tranquility. For

HOW THEY STRIKE IN CHINA.
Monaghan Miners Quit Work on tn,
Most Trivial of Pretexts.

Most Trivial of Pretexts.
There is an impression in America that
strikes are unknown in China. MY ex-
perience is quite to the contrary, says a
writer in the Engineering Magazine. The
Chinese have invented the mariners
compass, gunpowder and strikes, but the
only one OF the three which they have
developed fully is the art of striking.
Whenever they want anything they ask
for it by announcing strike. l did not
appreciate at first the importance of their
feast days, and when the first one came
round they not only struck, but POO of
them came up and mobbed my house.
No violence was attempted, but the in
terchange of views was like the chatter
ing of 10000 monkeys. 1 yielded The
miners would strike if they did not like
their shift boss, strike if they had bad
dinner in the company kitchen, strike
for any reason.
Once when mine, mill and furnace were
in full blast the miners all struck for some
insignificant cause. Tired of expostulat-
ing, | sent for the head men and told
them gravely that had no objection to
the strike if the men wished it, but that
the mill and furnace could not stop. They
had to go right en-, and it was very costly
to keep them at work without ore. l said
that l did not think it was right to maxi
the company pay the loss, and that
should fine the workmen three days pay
for every day they were off duty. There
was great hubbub. The miners came
to know if what the head man told them
