Brace the Nerves.

Sedatives and opiates won't do it. These
nervnes do not make the nerves strong, and
failing to do this fall short of producing the
essential of their quietude-vigor. And while
in extreme cases-and these only--of nerv-
GUS irritation such drugs may be advisable,
their frequent use is highly prejudicial to the
delicate organism upon which they act, and
in order to renew their quoting effect in
creased and dangerous doses eventually be-
come necessary. Hostetter's Stomach Bit
ters is an efficient substitute for such per.
nicious drugs. 1t quiets the nerves by bracing
L'ning, strengthening them. The connection

Travelling in the interior of Brazil,
a gentleman put up for a night at a
farmhouse furnished in the print
tive style of the country; but on the
table, in company with a long tallow
candle, were placed a handsome pair
of plated shutters and its stand,
which the owner had received as a
present from Rio JaheirO. "What
conveniences you invent in Europep
said the Brazilian to his guest "Be-
fore l received this present, l used,
on taking off the candle-snuff, to
throw it about the floor, perchance
on the bench where l was sitting, or
over my clothes; but now mark the
difference" So saying he pinched
off the long snuff between his thumb
and finger, put it carefully in the
shutters, and held them up with a
look of triumph at his highly amused
spectator.

Comfort from the Conductor.

The train had stopped at a station
and several men had alighted, as was
their custom, to stretch their legs
on the platform, and when it started
again one Of the men, who had
strayed little too far of, was left
behind.
In a minute or two there was a
loud scream, and a woman rushed up
to the conductor and exclaimed ex-
citedly: "You left my husband be-
hind at that last station"
"Never mind, madam, replied the
official; calm yourself. We shall be
at Chicago in three hours, and then
you can get another husband. y

"On the ranches which / visited at
Santa Ana, in Orange County, Cali
fornia, where more peanuts are raised
than in any other locality on the
coast, the vines were left in rows for
from one to two weeks, and picking
was done in the field, chiefly by
women, making not unpicturesQue

At intervals, over the level brown
earth, where not stick or stone of
smallest size was visible, piles Of pea
nut vines had been placed, and by
each pile sat one or two women, bus
lily picking off the pods. Some of
them had fixed umbrellas in the
ground to protect them from the too
ardent rays of the sun. AS fast as
their boxes were filled with the fra

the accident to smile at the loss and
enjoy the odor of the perfume.
