EASILY TIRED.
Why is it That So Many People
Cannot Endure More.

There are thousands of people who
find they cannot do as much work as
they used to, their strength gives out
and they are obliged to stop and rest.
1t shows that they have overworked, and
that their nerve power and strength is
becoming exhausted.
One cannot conceive the great number
of people, who, while not exactly sick,
are yet complaining or ailing in some
way. They do not feel well and strong,
do not eat or sleep well, are nervous and
have no ambition for work or pleasure.
You need the great spring medicine, Dr..
Greene's Nervura blood and nerve rem
edy. 1t will make you well.
Mrs. Eliza B. Mcfarland, OF 100
North 9th St., Philadelphia, Pa. ,..says:

Gus prostration. Indeed. the exhaustion

land Theatre next Saturday evening for
it's first production here in seven years
Of the play itself nothing need be said
forsit is.well knownsas one of the strong
in the characteristic Campbellisms for
which it's author is noted. One may
learn more of Russia from once witness
ing this play than can be told in dozen
books or lectures, or in columns of
newspaper matter. The Siberian mines
are graphically illustrated. "Siberia"
is surely one of the strongest produc-
tions to be seen here this season.

ton last evening. Miss N. Cora Weber
performed the arduous duties of pianist
with much taste and discrimination.
Where there are SO many numbers it is
hard to particularize, but it may be said
delivered their numbers with much ex-
preston, while the chorus in the precis-
ion of attack and excellent shading
proved how carefully they had followed
the instructions of their conductor.
Among the beautiful numbers in the
cantata is a harp interlude.

Damascus Swords.

To the lryers of strange goods the
bazars of Damascus are far more allur-
ing than those of Cairo or of Constan-
'tinople; the capacious chests of the
merchants contain much that we would
buy were our purses longer. Old en-
broideries of wonderful color, delicate
china, silks Of many hues, swords of
cunning workmanship, all these lie
piled beside us on the floor. 1t is but
seldom that really good specimen of
the Damascus sword can be obtained,
for the art of working and engraving
steel is dead. These swords were made
of alternate layers of iron and steel,
so finely tempered that the blade
would bend to the hilt without break
