WOMEN WHO GO SHOPPING.
SHREWD PHYSICIANS GLANCE AT
THE CITY CROWDS.

and Muscular Strain of Women That
Comes from Buying for the House

of Blood and Nervous Energy.
women read the Sunday papers in
the big cities and the daily papers in the
towns for the advertisements of marked
down sales" says the Boston Globe.
Even as little girls they think of going
a shopping"
To man, shopping is a nuisance,
vexatious, firing to his patience, and
actually fatiguing to his muscles and
nerves. 1t is often no less so to a
| woman. The careworn purchasers,
especially on rainy days, burdened with
Tapping, wet skirts, umbrellas and
bundles, impress a physician with a
sort of horror The women have to go
shopping. 1t is a necessity. There is a
total disregard of the excessive strain up
on their nerves and entire system.
The danger of thus overtaXing the
centres which manufacture the nervous
energy is impossible to estimate" said a
wise physician. One longs to hear some
authoritative voice call out: 'Stopi
Stopg"
Weakness is an element of all diseases
Faulty nutrition of some important part
OF the body brings easy exhaustion in
even slight undertakings. Overwork,
anxiety, worry and excitement of any
kind is quickly accompanied by painful
sense of WEAKNESS and fatigue.
Little bloods is sent to the tired organs,
and nutrition and strength alike fail.
Paine's celery compound is prepared to
exactly meet the urgent needs of an over
worked, feeble system. People with
feeble circulation who habitually have
cold hands and feet, people who are
never quite we'll, the aged and the young,
feel at once from Paines celery COM
pound the effects of an increased power.
A grateful sense of activity comes after
a few days taking of this remarkable
remedy, and one feels again fit for every
duty, mentally and bodily.
For Indigestion languldress, dropsy,
liver and kidney complaint, and other
signs of enieebed nervous power, Paine's
celery compound has a reputation that
is established in thousands of house
holds throughout the United States and
Canada, in every village and town
where there is a good physician.
Paine's celery compound is the mar
velous preserver that has saved so many
thousand men and women struggling for
existence against poverty of blood and
nervous energy. 1t makes people well.
Read the experience of Mrs. E. M. Alb
bott of Chelsea, Mass, who gives the
following voluntary testimony:
II have taken Paine's celery compound
and it is all that it is recommended to
be. My mother and father have also
taken it; it has given them new life.
They take it every spring or whenever
they do not feel just right. Mother was
all run down last spring, and after tax
ing a few doses of the compound she
gained new strength. We would not be
without Paine's celery compound as a
family medicine"

DROPPING FROM THE CLOUDS.

Robert V. o. Sewell. in the Artists
Adventures Series in The Century for
April, describes his first aud last
balloon ascension.
1t was in 1886, when Mr.. Sewell
was a student at the Academic
Julian, that he made his venture,
taking advantage of a public ascen-
sion. When the artist and the
aeronaut entered the basket, the
ropes were cast off.
We did not rise, and being inform
ed that we must leave behind either

coat, heroically sacrificed the la tier.
Standing in the basket, l tossed it to
friend. when, presto! he was as
we'll as the rest of the world sank
| ont of sight At that moment l sat
down l can still recall the howl of
derision and delight which greeted
this commonplace act.
The cries of the spectators were
succeeded by most profound
silence, broken only by the fearsome
creaking of the willow basket, as my
| companion leaned from side to side.
l was soon aware of another
sound, to which my ears seemed
slowly to become attuned-the low,
muff1ed roar of the great city, which
produced continued note almost as
pure as a musical tone, but lower in
pitch than any note of the musical
scale.
The barometer soon showed an
elevation of half a mile, and, looking
over the side of the car Il was still
seated on the foor,) 1 saw the whole
Of Paris pass beneath me-the public
buildings, the Madeleine with it's
bright copper-green roof, the toy
cathedral of Notre Dame on it's little
island. The distance was so great
that all giddiness was gone, and the
roar of the city was hushed. Throw
ing out much of our store of sand,
we rose into great cumulus clouds.
The barometer indicated a height of
two miles; the air had the pure but
thin feeling of an Alpine mountain
top. There was no sight, no noise
save the patter of the feet of two
pigeons on the summit of the bal
loon. They had refused to leave
us, and, after lowering like land
birds about a ship, had settled on
our rigging.
In the utter silence of these heights
the novice. awed by the sublimity of
the situation, has no thought of
danger. The vast, sightless. silent
void in which the bubble hung self
poised impressed the mind with
sense, not of violence, but of calm.
Yet danger there was, and that most
imminent. Anxiously scanning the
barometer, my companion announced
that we were falling. Selling a bag
of tissue papers, he threw a handful
from the car. Instantly they disap-

rushing down to the city at an
angle of about forty-fve degrees.
Now the two pigeons left the balloon,
and even this slight diminution of |
weight gave US a short respite. AS |
we approached the earth we struck |
the ground breeze, which we saw
would carry us nearly the entire
length OF the city. Quickly divesting |
ourselves of our coats and waist |
coats, we took a rapid inventory of |
the pitifully small remainder of bal
last, with view to keeping the air
ship afloat as long as possible.
To a novice who has ever gone |
down toboggan-slide the horror OF
that rush over the spires and chin
neys of the great city may be di1nly
shown if he can imagine his sensa
lions increased thousandfold. Col
lision with building meant almost
sure death, while the speed was so
great that landing in a boulevard
was an inpossibility. The roar of
one street as it grew less distinct
was quickly followed by the roar of
the next, as the excited and interest
ed Parlsians watched our fight.
Several times we avoided collision
only by throwing out coat, basket,
Or bottle, the balloon each time TAX
ing a slight bound, and clearing the
obstacle.

from China, India and Persia; and
by men of other nationalities, includ-
ing German, Norwegian. a Dane,
an American and an American In
dian. This meeting did much to
convince some of the importance OF
this work and others there decided
to offer themselves as missionaries.
Before the Mt. Hermon confer
ence closed committee of four was
appointed to visit the colleges and
interest the students in the fOrma-
ton of an organization of mission
airy students. In the following year
r. P. Wilder and J. N. Forman visit
ed 176 institutions in the United
States and Canada. Hundreds of
students were enrolled as members
of the movement and finally during
the season of 19SS-S9 the associa-
ton was formally and thoroughly
organized.
The first international convention,
held IN Cleveland Feb. 26 to March
LIST, 1891, was the largest student
convention ever held up to that time,
159 colleges being represented by
nearly 600 students.
This in brief covers the movement
in the United States and Canada. A
similar work was begun in Cam
bridge, Eng, some years previous to
the founding of the American associa-
ton. The two organizations are
now united under the name of the
International Student Volunteer
Movement and it's aim is to en-
brace the whole world.
Preparations were started in the
summer of 1898 for the second con-
vention, which in numbers present
and in results far exceeded the anti
Sessions were held daily and were
addressed by some of the most emf
nent missionaries and Christian
workers in the world, among whom
were such men as J. Hudson Taylor of
England, founder of the China In
land Mission; DR.. Rose, mission
airy in Burmah for Al years; DIR.
Thackwel of India, DR.. Walton of
South Africa, F. G. Cullum and
Bishop Ford Of Persia, DIR. Leonard
of Japan; also Miss Guinness of China
and Miss Ben Oliel, a native mission
airy of Jerusalem.
The educational exhibit consisted
of the most comprehensive collection
Of missionary and evangelical litera-
ture. Books were sold and pam
phlets distributed very literally.
It is quite impossible to estimate
the influence of this great conven-
ton. Upwards of fifteen hundred
delegates were in attendance, repre-
senting 294 institutions and nearly
100000 students. Only small per
cent OF the students present were
volunteers. Fifty-two signifed
their intention of entering for
eign fields within one year Thirty
one others decided to devote their life
to mission work while at the con-
vention.
These are the direct results of the
which has for its motto
The Evangelization of the World in
his Generation.
Other influences more indirect but |
lot less powerful will continue in
he hearts of those present, and will |
aid materially in the realiza ton of |
he end for which this grand move
nent is striving.

AMONG TIE COLLEGES.

The Amherst College Glee Club
will spend the summer in giving a
series of concerts in Great Britain
under the management of brother
of Ellen Terry, the famous actress.
Richard Lamson is member of this
club.
The difficulty between the faculty
of Amherst College and the senate,
which has been growing more diff
6cult OF adjustment every week, has
led to the resignation of all the mem
bers of senate.
Harvard College has served papers
on a member Of the Yale faculty to
recover tuition amounting to $11O
of Sarkis Kcba bian, which the Yale
professor guaranteed. The suit it
self is a trivial one, but it is under
stood on excellent authority that
the defence will be OF surprising
nature, inasmuch as it will SUBJ
stantially charge the authorities at
Harvard with having lured young
Kebabia away from Yale by offer
ing him fattering inducements which
never were realized. Furthermore,
it is said that the claim will be made
that Harvard authorities, in their
desire to outstrip Yale in the close
race for numerical supremacy, has
on occasions INDUCED in this sort of
practice to rob Yale of her under
graduates Sarkis Kebabian was a
student at Yale in 1890. He was of
slender means, and learned that Har-
ward offered greater advantages in
the way of scholarships to such as
could be obtained at Yale. He
wrote to Harvard, and, it is claimed,
was assured that if he maintained a
certain standard, a scholarship
would be awarded him. He entered
Harvard in 1892, took high stand,
but the scholarship was not award
ed him, and he left Harvard owing
$11O for tuition-the basis of the
suit. This he refused to pay, claim
ing that he had fulfilled his part of
an implied contract. Mr.. Kebablan
was student at the Academy in
1889 and is we'll remembered by our
townsmen.

which is particularly useful to |
students intending to enter this col

one cannot help feeling
that this college is particularly
fortunate in having so many scholar
ships. There are nearly $50 scholar
ships founded by generous friends of
the college, and from lands and funds
of the state of New Hampshire.
Three scholarships of $1,000 each
were founded by our own townsmen
and named after the donors, the
Horace Fairbanks, the Thaddeus
Fairbanks and the Moses Kittredge
scholarships. The total attendance
at the college is 494 of which 355 are
in the regular courses. 125 in the
medical college and the rest in the
Thayer school. In the distribution
by States Vermont is third, con-
tributing rs students.

Roasts Breckenridge.

The Louisville, (Ky.) Post, demo-
crat, commenting on the downfall
of Colonel Breckenridge, says: "It
is not story to which the people of
Kentucky can be in the least indif-
ferent. With the confession still on
his lips; with the plea of Colonel
Thompson arrousing an indignant
protest in the heart of every honest
man, Colonel Breckenridge proposes
to return to Kentucky and ask to
60 back to congress. He owes some
consideration to the friends who have
been true to him. The one service
he can now render to all these, the
one recompense it is in his power to
offer, is to accept the verdict Of eter-
nal banishment from the public ser
vice, and act accordingly"

property in Missouri valley for the
years 1891 and '92, at the last meet
ing of the board. The legality of
such an action was referred TO At

sion is that the board cannot sit as
board of equalization except as re-
quired by law, and the taxpayer that
fails to complain within the limits
required by statute, forfeits his right
for redress.
| From the IIusbandman:
ID. +. Folsom received the returns
from his last summers shipment of
wool last week. 1t netted him

His last years shipment, we believe,
brought him over II cents.
White Sulphur Springs has
couple of men who offer to put
wager that they can cut twenty-five
cord of wood in day or twenty
cord per day, day in and day out for
a month or longer. They are sturdy
atheletic fellows and handle a saw
with the skill of an artisan.
1t is not generally known, but
it is fact, nevertheless, that Smith
River valley has the finest quar-
ries of building stone in the whole
state of Montana. These quarries,
for they are three in number, are
the property of 0. p. Opsahl. They
are a sand stone that is quito easily
cut when first taken from the ground,
but becomes hard ty long exposure
to the air. The three quarries, each
furnish different colored rock. One
is a red or brown sandstone, the
other grey and the third blue.
The magnificent edifce of b. r..
Sherman and the trimmings for the
auditorium were made from the sur
face rock of one of these quarries,
but it was not until after the compile
ton of these buildings that the
lodges proper were discovered.
. There is no rock in the state that
. can be quarried and dressed as
cheaply as this and none that will
answer for building better. So
sanguine is Mr.. Opsahl, who is a
practical rock worker, that he feels
, confident that if there is ever a state
building erected in Montana, whether
it be at Helena or Anaconda, that
the stone will be furnished from
these quarries since with the Mon
, tana Midland completed to this
place no other stone can be furnished
, in competition to the Smith river
product. The quarries are within a
couple of miles of the proposed line
of the railroad. We referred to
this stone one year ago, though at
;, ), that time the supply was thought to
be limited, but it has recently been
>. developed that the quarries will yield
! a sufficiency to build a city as large
as Chicago.
