GIVE UP WORK AND REST.

the pace that kills, the pace of high
pressure, which is so common with the
modern American woman.
Now why do work. worry, hurry,
break down people? 1t is not physical
labor alone, or professional men and
women would be exempt: it is not
mental, or farmers wives would be
exempt; while the combination of
physical and intellectual labor cannot
be the cause, else society women, who
live almost entirely for pleasure, would
be exempt. In all these classes victims
of nervous prostration and worse ills
are found.
1t is lack of nerve force that causes
the everyday physical and mental
collapse. Nerve force nowadays is ex-
travagantly used and insufficiently re-
plenished. When you find yourself
overweight, your nerves tense and
quivering, it is high time to stop and
relax.
Tension causes woeful waste of
nerve force. What are some of it's
signs? Holding the arms close to the

A CITY OF 100000 PEOPLE.

We are all proud, says the London
Court Journal" of the magnitude
of the population of London. There
is, however, check, according to the
report recently presented to the County
Council by Dr. Shirley Murphy, its
medical officer. The percentage of the
rate of increase has, it seems, slightly
fallen off; there need, however, be no
alarm, for, on considering the matter
carefully, we find that the decrease OF
interior London's population is due to
the shifting of the interior residents to
pleasant suburban places, where they
do not count as among the subjects OF
the County Council. Sooner or later
they will be Tapped in, and London
may then reach its predicted ten or
eleven millions of inhabitants.

THE TALLOW TREE.
1t Produces the Famous Rice Paper and
Rich OIL.


Our foreign consuls quite frequent
" send home curious and interesting
accounts of the things which come
under their observation while in line
of duty. These articles, valuable from
several points of view, are never seen
by one in each ten thousand of cur
population, because the documents in
which they appear, being classed with
other government publications" are
seldom consulted.
In this way, says the Detroit Free
Press, much that is interesting and
valuable TO the scientist and general
reader Is overlooked. For an instance
the descriptions of the curious vegeta-
ton of China, especially the "tallow
tree" This tree is the stillingia sebi-
fera of the botanist, the root of which
produces oil, the bark the famous ''rice
paper" and the berries tallow. The
greasy berries are of light scarlet
and resemble those of the coffee of
commerce., both in size and color. In
preparing the tallow the beans or ber-
ries are first steamed and then pounded
IN order to separate the mesocarp from
the kernels.
This pulp Is then placed in bamboo

from the hulls, the tallcwy substance
having the oil expressed from IL in

the chaff or hulls is converted into

.THE WORK STARTED
ON TIE NEW BENwOOD AND SOUTHERN
STREET RAILWAY
Which Is 10 Connect wheeling With Twelve Niles
Of Suburban Cities and TOwns-Plans
Of the Company.

Yesterday morning about o'clock the
first stroke of the pick marked the be-
ginning of work on the Benwood and
Southern Street Railway. The line is
TO be run from Benwoodto Moundsyllle,
distance OF seven miles. The project
has been hanging fire for the last seven
months. Colonel Ben Wilson. Of Clarks-
burg, is at the head OF the company.
Work was begun at Schad's crossing
OF the B. & O., in Central Benwood,
where large force of men were en-
pIoyed.
The beginning Of work on the line at
this time was great surprise to Ben
wood people, all of whom are interest
ed. What caused the work TO be start
ed yesterday was probably the action Of
the Benwood City Council at its recent
meeting. Since the existence of the
new street railway company those at
the head Of the project have asked the
councils for two previous extensions OF
time in beginning the work, both Of
which were granted. The last permit
OF extension of time given by Council
expired yesterday. At the meeting OF
the City Council a few nights ago there
ives a letter from the street car COM
pany, asking that they be given still
another extension OF time for thirty
DAYS Benwood legislators had grown
tired of the repeated grants, and so
when 1t came 10 q vote as 10 whether or
not give the company the extension the
Councilman were unanimous In favor OF
not granting the request of the COM
pany.
Yesterday Mayor Thomas Shepard,
of Benwood, got Z letter from the Sec
rotary of the new Company, saying that
the work would be started At once, and
In a short time the force OF men started.

of the route, aud gave orders for the

The line promises TO be great boom
to that section. There seems little
doubt but that the line will be a paying
one. 1t will be delightful outing
trip, with the picturesque scenery along
the route, and will, beside, make
Wheeling, Benwood and Moundsvllle
one continuous city.
The cost of construction OF the road
will be about 100000.

Bastile Yesterday.


Bastile Yesterday.
Yesterday morning before Squire
Henry Riddle, OF Benwood, there was an
interesting case OF q man charged with
felony. The case has been exciting gem
eral interest. John Z. Lucas, cOlored
man, aged twenty, some time ago
worked for another cOlored man,
named J. C. Nickel, Of Sherrard.
Lucas claimed that Nickel did not pay
him for his work. The employe, in ig-
norance of the law, seemed to think he
was justified in stealing his employer S
watch. Nickel went TO the office OF
SQUIRE Riddle and had a warrant sworn
out for his arrest, hut as the thief
lived in Ohio, il was necessary to take
out reQulstion papers TO have him
brought to this State.
This form was gone through with,
and Friday, the Marshal OF Bellalre
caught Lucas, and gave him over TO
Constable Charles Sprouts. He was
brought to the Benwood lookup. AZ
the hearing yesterday morning, Nickel
claimed that the watch and chain
stolen was worth $50, but the fact was
they were not worth s.. The case
then resolved itself into petty larceny,
and the Squire gave Lucas thirty days
ia the county Jail, He was taken TO
Moundsville yesterday afternoon by
Constable Sprouts.

INDUSTRIAL TOPICS.
Points Picked Up Aoout tho Mills and
Factories.


Electrician Phillips, OF the Wheeling
steel works, is home from fishing trip
down the river.
The management of the potteries OF
the city say there is nothing in the ru-
mors afloat that the plants are about TO
be started.
On the 14th OF this month there is to
be a big picnic at Mozart Park. Bloch
Bros. are to give it for an outing for
their workmen.
A whole train load Of coke from the
Connelsville regions arrived In the city
last evening over the b. & o. This Is
the first full train which has arrived In
the city for some time.
A force of brckayers are at work
at the Wheeling steel works making re-
pairs. The works are not To go on be-
fore the Belmont furnace shall reSun
That will be about the latter part Of this
week.
The employees Of the LaBelle iron
works will be paid on Tuesday. This Is
a kind move on the part OF the com
pany to all the employees to have some
spending money for the Fourth, and
the workmen appreciate the favor.
Before the latter part of this week
the entire LaBelle iron works will be on
in fnll. All the puddlers have gotten
orders to 60 on in full next Thursday.
1t is over year since the puddlers were
on double-turn. When they go on the
plant will be on in all departments.
The plate mill of the Lower Benwood
pudding mill is having fine run. The
workmen are making goUd time consid-
ering the oppressive heat. Steel skelp
is being made, and is OF the finest va
riety ever turned out the plant. The
report in an evening paper that armor
plate was being made at the mill, is
ridiculous.
AT noon yesterday there was a well
come sound 10 hundreds of the mill men
on both sides Of the river. 1t was the
shril notes OF the Bellaire blast fur
mace, summoning the workmen who had
been idle for the last two months TO APP
pear for work. The big furnace, which
employs over two huudrdd workmen,
was blown in sooner than was looked
for, as it is now in full operation again.
Some Of the Fairmont coke can be used
and this is the reason IL was started be-
fore some OF the other furnaces In this
locality. The plate mill at the plant Is
having good run, and the progress OF
the great improvement In other parts OF
the mill, is satisfactory.
