At this time a friend recommended to me Dr Greenes Nervura blood and nerve remedy. I had very little faith in it for I had used so many other medicines that did me no good, but willing to try anything. I got bottle and had not taken more than half of it before 1 began to feel much better, and finding So much benefit kept on.
 Il have taken in all six bottles and am now completely cured. I have not lost q day since. My work is now easily done, I eat well. sleep well, am not nervous. digestion is good and all attribute to the blessing of God and Dr Greene's remedy. 1 have always recommended it and shall continue to do so.
 MT Smith saw that his health was fail ing, and he felt that he was losing his hold both upon business and society. He went bravely to work to get well by taking Dr Greenes Nervura blood and nerve remedy.
 If for any reason your health is not just what it should be, if there is weakness somewhere. take this wonderful medicine, pr Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy and it will bring back to you the health and strength which you have lost.

SENATOR GRAY never poses as an orator.
 When he has anything to say he proceeds in straightforward. business-like way to say 1t, and what he says Is always carefully and respectfully listened to. His two-day speech on the Hawaiian question, this tory of the relations between this country and the little islands, of which he truly said: If an earthquake or convulsion in those southern seas were to swallow them from feelings of humanity for the loss of life. ripple on the surface of the worlds affairs" It Is because the question in volved is one of international morality that tant. Senator Grays remarks about the
 flag incident are worthy of careful perusal: A good deal has been said about the hauling down of the American flag in Honolulu. When the American flag is hauIcd up by the order of a democratic president it will be hauled up under cir cumstances that will keep 1t where it is. until the winds of heaven have beaten it into rags. It will never be hauled up in diShunor. It will never be hauled up so as to put the great people whose symbol of power and authority It Is to the blush. It will never misrepresent the magnan- imity. the greatness, the courage of the people of the United States, as 1t did when it was hauled up at the request of this revolutionary junta in the Hawaiian is lands on the last day of February. 1893. What are We to say in condemnation of the president, who unhesitatingly. when he found that wrong had been done. or dered the flag to be hauled down? The American people will always commend president who does the right thing. and who is not governed by the mere clamor and jingolsm that is sought to be injected into this government"

shall say ay-freshg it Is their business tc tell lies, and they do it beautifully.
 In New York a manager never knows you. If you were to call five times day, they would still wear that blank look of: "Who are you? Don't hatter yourself you are anything" 1 met a comedian once who told me he went to see a manager and was requested to call again, which he did On appearing the second time he went up to the manager, expecting, of course, a rec, ognition. But, mol The blank stare met him, and he heard: 'Who are you; What do you want?" Turning on his heel, he said: "Oh, nothing. just called in to see the pictures" and sauntered over to examine the many beauties who adorned the walls. believe he got m engagement out of it.
 London suits me as little as Italy, and after short stay there l departed for the land of freedom and equality, but not ill New York did l rest my weary feet. Out into the west we went, my mother and l. While out there the late lamented Emma Abbott engaged me for her company in the capacity of prima donna There my ac- quaintance with the stage proper began, and must confess my feelings were not all of delight. Dear! What q hard time 1 had of it, with not one to say an encouraging ol kind word! Most persons would have given up, but not !. 1 fought it out and nevt shall forget my first season i'll America.
 Perhaps my trials were really not so great, but to me they seemed mountains. Since then, of course, have been in many companies and have sung many different roles, but that first season l never like to recall or think of. So beware, you who are crazy to go on the stage It is not half SC nice as it looks when you sit in the orches tra. with your best or even your second best fellow, and admire what you see. Indeed it is all unreal, even to those sweet love scenes Most likely they hate each other Don't be in hurry to throw away youl "bestest best for the hollow mockcry of the stage unless indeed you are educated and have the talent to be something

 Common Event
Read It Carefully and Ponder Over It
 Long and Earnest.

The most important event Of the day is that which most nearly concerns us all.
 In these times of, business anxiety, the constant nervous strain on the system has fearful effect upon health. If you are not in perfect health you cannot hope to win success.
 This fact was fully appreciated by Mir Nye L. Smith, of Montpelier, Vt- d we'll known and respected business and society man.
 "A year ago last spring" he says Il was completely run down and was very nervous indeed. am of a very nervous disposition. I had no appetite and was unable to sleep. and when rose in the morning was as tired as when l went to rest. My digestive organs were completely unstrung, whatever I ate distressed me, becoming sour.

 These conferences have hitherto met in one of the buildings of the seminary at Northfeld established by MT. Moody, but they have outgrown the capacity of the hall, wLich seats 900 people. It was consequently decided last year that a new auditorium or tabernacle must be built large enough to accommodate all who come. This will be ready in time for the June meeting. It is of roman esque architecture, built of red brick and its dimensions are 122 by 136 feet. The ground floor will seat 300 people and the gallery 800. There is spacious platform, with choir gallery behind it that will hold 300 singers. There are doors in every wall, and the floor slopes gently down toward the platform. The structure will be one of the most attract i've in the state and the auditorium one of the largest outside of Boston. Its ell tire cost will be about &JD O00

 think very few people, if any, who are not connected with the stage have the faint est idea of the difficulties and obstacles to be met with in the dramatic profession. When hear people say, Pm going on the stage" as if one had only to step on and be a shining star, l smile inwardly. How well I remember wondering to hear people talk of money, influence and all the rest being almost a necessary part of ones attain ments and not believing them! But expe- rience teaches, and if you have neither of the above accessories to success be pre- pared for hard, up hill work and despairing moments
 The stage-always young, always beauti- full! Who would not long to be among such dazzling, gorgeous coloring and brilliant lights? What pink cheeks! what handsome heroes! all to fade away when once we step across the enchanted threshold and find our Eden is, after all, but an illusion. Still through all ones trials there is one comfort which does not vanish-one beautiful. eternal, God given thing-and that is art. The more one stuiies the more one devotes a life to it, the more beauties it discloses, and to me there is no life so beautiful as that of a r"' .le actor or actress,

A few years after his presiding over scientific congress in Glasgow, little later was made lord rector of Aberdeen university and still q little later lord rector of Edinburgh university. He entered politics very young, became a Liberal by reason of his acquaintance with Gladstone, who WAS his guest during n hot parliamentary campaign ill Midlothian, and was chosen by the Liberal leader when only H4 to sec ond the address of reply to the throns. His political advancement from that time was rapid, ant iu 1886, after filling many minor posts. in all of which he worked hard. he became under secretary of state for foreign affairs.
 Of course his advancement in govern mental affairs received a check when the Liberals went out of power. but he was nevertheless potent factor in public matters all along, for he was elected as a Liberal, and on the same ticket with John Burns, the workingman, to mem- bership in the London council and did marvelously good reform work on the governing board of the vastest munich pality in the world. When Gladstone came into power for the last time, to Lord Rosebery was given the foreign portfolio, and he has conducted its af- fairs in 8 way that has strengthened the Liberal party and upheld the credit of the government abroad. In fact, Eng lands foreign policy under his guidance has been strong for the first time when the Liberals were in. He has but one more prize to win in the game of poli- tics, and that is the premiership.
 Lord Rosebery's marriage to daugh- ter of the Rothschild family, which oc- cured when he was 80, was quite as much talked about as any of his politi- cal acts have been.

According to the report prepared by the war department, red uniforms were first adopted by the Emperor Valerius Maxi mus, in order that the Roman soldiers might not be frightened by the sight of their own blood. To this day the children of England are told that this is the reason why French troops wear red trousers. and French children are taught the same no- tion respecting the red coats of the British.

DEMOCRATIC senators are satisfied with the progress made by the sub committee on the Wilson tariff bill, although they would, of course. have been glad to have had the blll reported to the full committee this week.

Every democratic member of the finance committee, e1- cept Senator Vance who is away on ac- count of his health, has been in almost )nstant conference with Senator Jones, Vest and Mills. who compose the sub com- mittee. and when the bill is reported to the full committee it will in reality be ready to be reported to the senate, as all the changes made will have received the approval of all of the democrats on the f. nance committee.

The nomination was unwise and unpolitic, For years MT PecFham has waged war against the demo- cratic party of New York. In 1886 he led an unsuccessful revolt against Senator Hill who was the democratic candidate for governor. For ten years he has been fighter against the regular democratic or g'nization of the city of New York.
