beautiful aud Brfllfdnt Girl.

Beauty, robust health, social prominence
and all that makes life bright was rapidly
fading from the possession Of the charming
Miss K, Of Beacon street. Her nearest
friends could not imagine what caused these
tokens Of anguish that furrowed oer the
once smooth and roseate countenance.-
When almost in despair, she happened to
see one of those "horrid newspaper adver-
tisements" of DR.. Pierce's Fayorite Prescrip-
ton, which said it was a remedy suitable to
her case. Without consulting her physi-
clan or anybody else she got the medicine
of druggist, took it, and In three months
time she was well of all her troubles. All
pains had ceased, she was herself again. and
shortly resumed her place as leader OF her
chosen circle. Her experience is that oil

The Springfield Republican remarks that
Rudyard Kipling's seven words for 81, said
to be the highest price paid any literary
man of our time, reads very small in COM
parison with what was paid Judge Paxton
for literary article. Until Mcleod came
on the scene the Reading railroad had used
an old sign at the crossings, Beware OF the
Engines and Cars" with mass OF further
instructions in small print. In some suits
for damages it is claimed that the warnings
were not clear Mcleod went to Judge
Paxton, who composed this admirable ho-
tice, Railroad crossing-Stop, Look and

ceiyed the modest sum Of s4,7S0, or over
s796.66 a word. When it comes to emolu-

We've all along contended that Senator
Camden was unjustly classed among the
conservative" Senators-those who mutt
lated or obstructed the Wilson bill-for he
promptly and emphatically proclaimed his
readiness to vote for the Wilson bill or any
other good tariff reform bill. And the fol-
lowing paragraph, from the Baltimore Sun,
fully acquits him Though not by namel of
being one of the Senatorial "cabal" now and
then referred to by resolution in political
conventions: "The few Democratic Senators
who mutiated the free list of the Wilson
bill in the interest of their clients, the trusts
and monopolies created by thirty years Of
Republican tariffs for brigandage only, are
now we'll known. They cannot be reached
now, for they are all Senators whose terms
have some years yet to run"

New York Tribune, for buying table sill
YER prices are very low--probably as low
as they will be for years to come. The
shapes are beautiful, many of them being
reproductions of the most graceful stlyes
of the past. The cheap and ugly forms
and ornaments of fifteen years ago have
been discarded in plated ware, as well as
in sterling silver, and the most refined
styles prevail .-I
The best silversmiths make admirable
plated ware nowadays, and there is
great demand for it, especially by the
owners of country houses. In
spite of the fact that every
luxurious country seat of the day
has its huge silver safe, many people
think it is more conducive to ease of mind
to leave their heavy family silver in the
vaults of their city bank and to use in the
country the beautiful plated silver, which
is so substantially and handsomely made
that it lasts nearly lifetime. 1t is quite
as dainty if not as valuable as the real
thing, and it is of no use to the average
intelligent burglar. 1t is foolish to buy
inferior plated ware. While the best
articles of the kind certainly cost a good
deal, they more than make up for the out
lay in wearing qualities.
