Fail 10 DO Our Duty.

Everybody has at times failed to
do their duty towards themselves.
Hundreds of lady readers suffer
from sick headache, nervousness,
sleeplessness, and female troubles.
Let them follow the example of Mr..
"a. Herbetcher, Stevens Point, Wis. -,
who for five years suffered greatly
from Nervous Prostitution and Sleep
lessness, tried physicians and differ
ent medicines without success. But
one bottle of DR.. Miles Nervine
caused sound sleep every night and
she is feeling like new person.
Mrs. Elizabeth Wheeler, Laramin.
Wyoming, who tried all other rene
dies declares that after three weeks
use of the Nervine for Headache
Nervous Prostitution, ETC., she was
entirely relieved. Sold by A. M. Gill

Wire SllaftiHE,

From a recently published estimate of
the strength of the proposed wire shafts
for steamships it appears that in this i'm
portant respect the most satisfactory re-
suit is realized. When made in five sec
tons, with total length of 100 feet and
10 inches diameter, the shaft will have
$4,000 No. steel wires, each 20 feet long,
with $4,000 fastenings, and as each wire
and each fastening will sustain a load of
500 pounds without rupture or injury
there is thus exhibited total inherent
strength of some 81, 900, 900 pounds, or an
amount 25 times greater than the con-
tinuous force Of an engine of 5000 horse
power, which is indeed a significant show

CRop BULLETIN WEEK ENDING

CROP BULLETIN WEEK ENDING
MAY I, l894.-Good growing wealth
err. A reasonable amount Of warmth
and plenty OF sunshine together with
occasional showers have forced vegc-
tation ahead rapidly. Ground is in
fine order and harrows nicely. Much
farm work has been accomplished
during the week. The most severe
thunderstorm of the week occurred
on the 9th during the late afternoon.
In many localities much damage was
caused by wind add hail; fences and
trees were blown down, but it is
thought that no material injury was
done to crops.
Cereals and Grasses Wheat and
grass are in splendid condition, wheat
especially. Corn planting well adj
vanced, some corn coming up and
will soon be ready to cultivate ,many
farmers have finished planting, some
oat ground was replanted in corn.
Early sown oats show someimprove-
ment, in q general way, but are not
dining very we'll, as a rule, in Sum-
mers, Cabcll Greenbrier, Upshur,
Putnam and Harrison counties; late
sowe oats, however, are in uniform
ly fair condition. Meadows and
pastures doing finely, some meadows
are afflicted with "white-top," stock
on pasture. Fall timothy is in first
aate condition. Small green bugs on
clover in some localities. Grass
shows more improvement during the
past week than at any ether tire
during the present season.

DANGER IN TIE BRIDAL TOURS.
The Medical Aspects OF the Case Presented
to Those About to Marry.

The Medical Aspects OF the Case Presented
to Those About to Marry.
The custom which obtains so general
~ of taking fatiguing journey as
part of tho nuptials is regarded by high
authority as one of the barbarisms of
civilization. Let us illustrate the inju-
rious physical tendencies by typical
case During extremely cold weather
there occurs u wedding, which, from
the standing of the parties, attracts
some attention. The happy couple, we
are told, are off for their wedding trip
to still more frigid section of country.
Though conscious of danger and Cls-
comfort, to some extent, which is great
ly increased by their inexperience in
travelling, they cheerfully assume the
risk and responsibility, as to all mar
considered as absolutely essential to give
the marital union an Importance with
out which it would, in their opinion, be
unromantic and but a partial marriage.
The tour causes fatigue exposure and
excitement, making regularity of life
impossible-in fact, the act involves the
reverse of all that the rules of health
and physiology require.
Again, it constantly happens in the
case of both sexes that slight indispo-
sition, which passed unnoticed i'll tho
hurry of preparation, is aggravated to a
serious and even fatal extent by the cx-
citement, exposure and neglect on a
n for f1Ncf
would think CT postponing his marriage
on account Of q slight cold. If he staid
at home afterward and took care Of him
self, it would pass away like other slight
colds, but often ON the bridal tour the
malady develops into chronic disease.
A prominent physician recently said;
MANY cases of brides and bridegrooms
in my professional experience came I'M
der my observation dying of typhoid fe-
yer Just after wedding trip, which
had caused the early symptoms to be
misunderstood and neglected. In one
instance that came under my obserya-
ton healthy and vigorous young man,
just returned from a bridal tour, died of
typhoid fever in Troy, his sickness be-
ing superinduced presumably by the IA
tigue and exposure incident to the jour
ney. 1t will thus be seen that the med
ical aspect Of bridal tour is sufficient
ly important and the risk incurred suffi-
GENTLY great to cause the welded pair,
if they wish to be actuated by impulses
of reason and prudence rather than by
the dictates of custom, to pause before
they undergo the trials of wedding
journey. Troy Times.

An Awful Fate That Befeli an Unfor---
tunate Negro.


LITTLE Rock, ARK. May 5.-Re-
liable information reached here yes
terday, of the burning of a negro in
Ouachita county, supposed to have
had smaii.,o.. The telegram con-
veying the intelligence says: The
negro was put in cabin to which
someone set fire, and he being unable
to escape, persisted in the flames.
One report says he was shetland then
burned, while another report says he
was only burned. One thing is sure
and certain, and that is that the
house occupied by the negro was
burned to the ground and he cannot
now be found. The identity of the
parties is not known.

The breath of a chronic catarrh
patient is often so offensive that he
becomes an object of disgust. After
time liberation sets in, the spongy
bones are attacked, and frequently
destroyed. A constant source of
discomfort is the dripping of the
purulent secretions into the throat,
sometimes producing inveterate
bronchitis, which is usually the ex.
citing cause of pulmonary disease.
