Recent discoveries have demonstrated that
all the organs of the body are under the con-
troll of the nerve centerS, located in or near
the base of the brain, and that when these are
deranged the organs which they supply with
nerve fluid are also deranged. When 1t is re-
membered that serious injury 10 the spinal
cord will cause paralysis of the body below
the injured point, because the nerve force Is
prevented by the injury from reaching the
paralyzed portion, 1t will be understood how
the arrangement of the nerve centerS will
cause the arrangement of the various organs
which they supply with nerve force.
Two-thirds Of chronic diseases are due TO
the imperfect action of the nerve centerS at
the base of the brain, not from derange-
ment primarily originating in the organ it.
self. The great mistake of physicians in
treating these diseases is that they treat the
organ rather than the nerve ceRterS which
are the cause of the trouble.
DR.. FRANKLIN MILES the celebrated Spe-
cialist,h has profoundly studied this subject for
over 20 years, and has made many important
discoveries in connection with 1t, chief among
them being the facts contained in the above
statement, and that the ordinary methods Of
treatment are wrong. All headache, diZZi-
ness, dullneSS confusion, pressure, blues,
mania, melancholy, insanity, epilepsy, St
VituS dance, etc, are nervous diseases no
matter how caused. The wonderful success OF
DIR. Miles Restorative Nervine is due to the
fact that it is based on the foregoing principle.

are sure signs that those who take part in
them belong to sshe uppsr circles, and 1t is
becoming evident that there can be no real
Society without them. So if they are not
slready prevalent in New Haven Society
they must be as soon as possible. A Soci-

keep in mind is the cocktail. A bartender
is not really needed, though the advice of
one might not be amiss. The first thing to
do is to make Russian tea by pouring clear
hot tea on a thin slice of lemon and one or
two Jumps of sugar. Then add . few
drops of rum, about half teaspoonful to
a large cup of tea, just enough to bring
out the aroma of the tea, without making
the taste of the liquor too evident. Their

The silver men have vociferously ASSERT
fall in prices is to be found in the main
tensncs of the gold standard. They say
that there isn'e gold enough in the world
to make It really useful for money, and
that the moro business there is done under
the gold standard the lower and faster
prices will fall. Many of them have even
gone so far As to assert that there never
will be gold enough In the world to ad
vantsgeously use as money. 1t would be
interesting if they should fud their theo-
ries all upset by sufficient increase in the
worlds stock of gold. 1t seems to be GER
tain that there hs, been a conspicuous gain
in the gold production of the world for
1898. The product of the United States
was 1,693,111 ounces, of Australia ,875.-
600, of Africa l ,563. 1876, of Russia 1, ,2O0.-
900, and of all other countries !, 100, ,090,
an aggregate addition of four per cent.
to the worlds estimated stock of the
metal. The most interesting fact in con-
nection with these figures is, perhaps, the
increase in the African output. In 1887,
when 1t practically commenced, 1t was only
%, 754 ounces, while In the seven years
ending with 1898 1t reached total of H.

President Cleveland has thrown up the
sponge. He will not do any more bunting
against Senator Hill just now. And his
nomination of Senator Edward Douglass
White of Louisiana for q placs on the
Supreme court bench will probably be
confirmed. Senator White is not a Snap
per or an Anti-snspper. He is not in any
way In the New York sqnsbSls. There is
therefare no reason apparent why Senator
Hill should GEEK to bunt him out. Indeed,
Senator Hill can well sfford to vote and
work for the man for whose nomination
he is greatly responsible. The wonderful
senatorial courtesy will also work in Sens-
tor Whites favor. Furthermore, it is
generally believed that he is 6t for the
place. He has fus education, served in
the Confederate army, became lawyer in
1868, and was made an associate Justice of
the Supreme court of Louisiana in 1878.
He took his seat In the United States SEN
ate In 1891. The nomination Ia a surprise,
