The Arena for November.

With the November number, the Arena
concludes it's tenth volume, and it gives
promise of even greater achievements
and prosperity for the coming year than
IN the past. A glance at the index for the
past six months shows what an immense
amount of reading on all subjects is
afforded in one volume of this live and
progressive review. The opening paper
in this issue, which contains 164 pages of
reading matter, more than any other
American monthly, deals with 1.-The Re-
ligion of Emerson 1t is written by w.
H. Savage, and it will attract the atten-

"There is no doubt that the life of
most women at the present day is a COM
pick one," said the Ladies' Home Jour
nal, land IN the large cities the demands
made upon time and strength are legion.
No wonder so many fall by the way"
Even women of the privileged classes
know what fatigue means, and the weari-
ness resulting from overtaxed nerves,
that is more intense and more depress-
ing than anything known to tired mus
Giles.
When frequent headaches and neural
gia give warning that the nerve tissues
are not being fully repaired after hard
work or anxiety, further mischief will
be avoided by feeding the brain and
nerves with the wonderful nutriment
Paihe's celery compound.
Nature is gentle mother and sOothes
while she strengthens.
Paine's celery compound builds up the
body according to natures plan.
The human machine must have fuel.
This grand invigoratOr and strengthened
is able to restore the delicate nerves to
robust health by feeding them rapidly
and abundantly with the peculiar ele-
ments they find it so difficult to extract
for themselves from the ordinary hearty
diet. A great nerve doctor, famous in
two continents, says that any woman
whose nervous strength is at all depleted
must either take time to rest at any cost
or replace the worn out tissues with
Paine's celery compound.
A woman should never be too tired to
smile.
! Paine's celery compound is to-day
busy in its mission to homes everywhere

North PoWnaI.

Autumn is fast dropping its livery and
the falling leaf is more frequent since
the last frost. Our mountains and hills
were never clothed in more gorgeous
colors than during the present October.
This season of fall has been, so far, ex-
ceptionally fine. Very little of chilly
weather; plenty of sunshine, and enough
of rain to keep our cisterns full, without
flood and overflow; and yet, supplying
our springs with the purest water, as the
almost universal good health of the peO-
pie attests. Our farmers are mostly clos
ing their harvest, and their houses and
barns are filled with abundance of fruits
which make glad imam and beast when
winters rude winds shall drive us with
in the doors. With such a description
of Natures good nature, it might be rea-
sonably supposed that everything was
well with people who are supplied
with such abundance of all that makes
life delightful. But men sometimes are
not as good as they might be-is that
the reason?-and so it happens that
some will complain, even when their
tables are loaded with good enough.
Our School: At our annual school
meeting, two committee men were elect
ed, constituting a new board, almost.
OF course when such an official body en-
tiers upon its term of office, there arises
more or less expectation in the public
mind as to certain changes, which almost
always, may, or should be made in the
administration of school affairs. There
was general satisfaction when the school
house was painted anew, and certainly
the good taste expressed in the choice of
colors and its good workmanship met
with universal approval. Then followed
a delay, and the recent movement in the
Legislature, to make pdtrjotism some
thing to be early impressed upon the
young mind, within the public schools,
reminds us that it has been long enough,
that the leading school in town should
be without flag unfurled, when in ses-
sion. But this may be explained by the
difficulty to obtain suitable staff for
our banner" which the removal from
the building of an otherwise rude and
unhandy device,s had made necessary
At another time we will make some OBJ
servations of what ought to be done in
other respects, in order that we may not
lose our standing as a leading school.

Mrs. Jennie A. Ruff, whose portrait is
given above, writing from her home in
Sibewa, Mich. says:
my husband had stomach trouble
for over year, from which he suffered
the tortures of daily death. He could
not eat scarcely anything, and what he
did eat soured on his stomach and caused
him to bloat so terribly that life was only
burden. He tried physicians to no
avail, and as | was taking Paine's celery
compound, he thought he would try it.
In short time he was surprised to find
that he could eat anything with no bad
effects; the boating is all gone and his
stomach is in good condition.
81 had suffered for years with periodi-
cal spells of sick headache; pen cannot
describe what | suffered at such times.
For the last two years | noticed that my
nervous system was getting all out of
order; had no appetite and was getting
to be a mere shadow of my former self.
| was nervous, weak, could not rest
nights, and felt gloomy and low spirited.
Before had taken one bottle of Paines
celery compound l began to feel like a
new person, and now, after taking six
bottles, am enjoying perfect health. L
have not had spell of sick headache in
over year. My nerves are all right, my
sleep is like that of a healthy child, and

it has done for me and mine.

THE DELINQUENT MEMBERS.
List of Those for Whom Warrants Have
Been Issued.

WASHINGTON, y. c., Jan. 6.-The
adoption by the House to-day Of the
resolution offered by Representative
Catchings, instIucting the Sergeant-at-
Arms to arrest members without leave
caused no little excitement in and around
the hall Of the House. There was mucn
discussion as to The power OF the House
10 extend authority under such n resoiu-
tion beyond the adjournment. Deputy
Sergeant-at-Arms Ike Hill said he never
heard Of but one similar case, ana couid
not rec0llect the date Of II. A search IN
the Manual and Digest Of the House,
however disclosed the fact that similar
action had been taken so recently as IN
the Fiftieth and Fifty-second Congress-
and that both Speaker Carlisle and Speak
er Crisp had ruled that an order 10 the
sergeant-at-Arms to arrest absent mem
bers might extend over adjournment. The
case i'm the last Congress occurred at the
time when the races at Bennings proved
90 attractive that the Democrats could
not keep a quorum I'm the House, and
the absentees were finally ordered 10 be
arrested and brought before the House
at the next session.
II is not expected that any serious
nenaltv will be inflicted upon absent ones
when they are hauled before the bar,
at least, all previous experience goes TO
maintain that assertion. But it has been
proposed. in this instance, that a fine
snail be imposed I'm each case. which viii

amount expended in bringing the members

ceived with favor and it may be en-
