ON THE CABLE CAR.
The Story Experienced a Few Interrup-
 tions by the Conductor.

tiOnS by the COnuuCCOr.
 He was tall, rather thin and decidedly angular, about 5S years old and wore his Sunday" store suit, glance at which would be prima facie evidence of its long, faithful service in that capac- ity. He had his son with him, perhaps 12 years of age, and as they rode north in Wells street cable car the old man was telling the young hopeful ''how it was 50 years ago."
 ''The ole house stood here, Ike, on this very spot-right on'-
 "Ontariov' yelled the conductor from the rear end of the car.
 The old man looked steadily at the man in blue for about one minute and quietly resumed his narrative:
 "On this spot about AS or 50 years ago, Ike, your grandfather used ter take me an your uncle Jim down to the grand old lake"-
 "Erie!" shouted the conductor inno- gently.
 The old mans face had about three or four convulsions, but trying to ignore the interruptions he proceeded once more:
 ''As was sayin, Ike, he used to take me an your uncle Jim down to the grand old Lake Michigan a-fishin every week or so. In them days, Ike, we didn't have no new fangled fishin poles like they have now. with screws an windin machines all over 'em. All we had then was a long stick cut out Of
 "Oak' yelledthe conductor again.
 Suddenly rising, the affronted old man started for him, but changing his mind sat down again, determined to tell Ike how it was or die ''a-tryin.'
 "With these hick'ry poles, Ike, we used ter ketch some fish that would"-
 Clang! clang! went great bell on the car, and the old man stopped short again. The man on the front end had suspi- cious look on his face, and the old man decided to keep weather eye on him.
 ''One day, Ike, got a lake trout on my hook that was feet B inches"-
 "Chestnutv shouted the conductor vo- ciferously, at which the enraged old man jumped to his feet and yelled:
 "Yes, sir, it wer' jest feet B inches long, an old as 1 am can lick any lop jawed dude with a long tailed coat an brass buttons as says 'chestnuts' to me again. Come on, Ike, let's git out of this durn hack an walk"
 But Ike had been peacefully sleeping through it all.-Arkansaw Traveller

Il had spells of spasmodic coughing and doctors said 1 had catarrhal bronchitis. l could not sleep we'll. as my business was always before me I would choke up and wheeze badly. I employed many doctors, but they did me no good. I heard of Dr Greenes Nervura blood and nerve remedy, and knowing it to be highly recommended. decided to use it. I immediately began to improve under its use and am now well. l advise everyone to use it"
 Dr Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy is the surest and quickest cure for disease known, and it is just the medicine you want. It is especially beneficial in the spring when medicine always acts most quickly. Everybody needs a spring medi- cine whether sick or well, and there Is none which has the curative powers of Dr Greene's Nelvu a blood and nerve remedy It positively and completely cures nervous and chronic diseases.
 It is purely vegetable and harmless and is the discovery of Dr Greene of B West 14th Street, New York City, the most sue cessful specialist, in curing nervous and chronic dise4se. He cln be consulted free, personally. or by letter.

pie. The hostess of the tea alluded to along with other very chic notions in ta- ble decorations originated this cunning souvenir, one of which was placed at the plate of each guest. Just how it is fash toned was recently told ill Golden Days.
 Begin with two gayly decorated Jap anese napkins. Lay them down one above the other and fill in the center of the paper with cotton batting which has been generously sprinkled with white iris, sandalwood or sweet orchid sachet. Stand upright upon the cotton a baby Jap and then gather up the edges of the napkins and secure them just below the Jap's waist with a bit of bebe ribbon. You will find that the batting has given you substantial foundation for the whimsical affair.
 As finishing touches to the dainty, stick a tiny Japanese umbrella back of the saucy fellow. tuck a fan at each side and then see what a pretty tritie it makes. with the crimpy ruff1es of paper about +he brightly robed Jap, the umbrella shaltering him and the gay fans at his side. And the cost? Well, the two nap kins will be but cents. the umbrella 3 cents, the fans 1 cent apiece and cents for the baby. If your sachet is bought in bulk, it will be very small item in the cost of the Japanese novelty.

IRE latt st plea for condOna tion in case of higamy is urged in behalf of a Brook lNn blacksmith who acknowledged his -nIilt. hut said that his LigamOus marriage yl;ls contracted Whils he was Tn an epilep- tic condition. The blacksmith proved previous good character and professed re- morse for his crime, but the court did not appear to take much stock in epileptie drviltry. The iudge said: If lie was ln- -lne so aS not to comprehend the nature ,t the act. he ought not to have pleaded .uilty. Ii I should suspend sentence on 4ccount of nn alleged mental incapacity which was just sufficient to enable him to h an illegal act without being liable to th. penalty therefor, and let him go out of ;hr court room unpunished, what would there be to prevent him from falling into n epilrptical condition and marrying any other innocent yourg irl that he fancied I shall take several days to make up my mi d what to do. I will remand him to wait sentence" If epilepsy be good defence in case of this character the pre- .rirnt might lead to multitudinous law breaking when fit opportunity offered. The blacksmith should not escape so easily.

WHY CAN'TIBE WELL?
Must Always be Weak and
 Sickly?
These Are Serious Questions for Many
 Suffering persons.
Here is a Definite and Positive Answer
 From the Best Authority.

You are not in perfect health. There is a weakness. pain, or a tired feeling your blood is bad. your nerves are weak, or some organ in the body is out of order and you need building up. Don't neglect such a condition, for delay is dangerous.
 You can get we'll and have perfect health just as we'll as not. The following letter will tell you how. It was written by MT Dorman Bridgeman, one of the most prominent business men of Hardwick, Vt,
 'Some time ago I contracted a severe case of nervous debility and throat disease. was in such nervous state that 1 could not feed myself without dropping my food, my hands trembled so.
 My nervous system was completely prostrated. My throat was also seriously affected so that It discharged blood. It became question whether was to live or die I was in such state that 1 was obliged to give up my business.

THE BRAKEMAN.

Syria has single rail road, the one rail being laid on wall of masonry.
 Russian railroads are the most danger ous-30 persons in every 100000 passen- gers are killed or hurt.
 It is estimated that 5, ,OOO, ,OOO, GOO cubic yards of vapor are sent into the air every week by the B, coo locomotives now in use in the United States.
 The metal tie for railroads is being TO vived again. A new one has neither bolts, rivets nor keys. Only 2,112 of these ties are required to the mile against 2,G4O or more of wooden ties.
 A writer in The Railway Age advocates the mick machine for use in passenger cars, especially in the library and smoking cars. He thinks it would be a great improvement on the trainboy with the clarinet voice.

THE DOCTOR.

Pimples and muddy condition of the skin must be helped from internal rernc- dies.
 Bleeding of the nose is usually controlled by holding the arms of the patient straight above the head.
 For the annoying small holes in the nose use an astringent in the form of a toilet vinegar-eau de cologne sprinkled in face bath or few drops of the tincture of ben zoin.
 Do not approach contagious disease with an empty stomach nor sit between the sick and the fire, because the heat attracts the vapor. Preventives are preferable to pill or powder.
 Let cold water TUT on 8 burn as soon as possible, on the principle that an egg cooks after it is taken from the fire unless it ie quickly chilled. The best and most con- venient home dressing for a burn is cotton batting saturated with sweet oil.

A GRACEtIL W EDDlNG GON \.
 CTS or sleeves to match it, in order tC carry the eye up from the waist, and it is also more artistic to finish the skirt with a band to match the basque. This brings the whole dress into harmony.
 The daintiest little knots of velvet for the hair, with an aigret of flowers or buds, are made of the same velvet with which the dress is trimmed. It is diff cult for those who have not tried it to imagine how much it adds to the appar- ent height to have the same color per vading the whole dress from the toes of the slippers to the coiffure.
 An attractive wedding gown is made of white satin. It is thus described ir the New York Tribune: The skirt. whicl is plain in front, is looped slightly on the hips and has long train, gathered at the waist and lined throughout with surah. A puf1ing of white gauge, sur mounted by delicate wreath of orange blossoms, surrounds the edge of the skirt. The corsage is lightly gathered tC little point, front and back, and is cut low over guimpe of white. silk gauge which is gathered to the collar. The
  bouquets of orange blossoms, one of which is attached to a long looped bow of white satin ribbon. The girdle fol lows the lines of the pointed corsage. and the sleeve putfs are very full and grace full.
 So much latitude is allowed in the in depreciation of the present fashions that even an exaggerated picturesqueness will be quite permissible i'll summer fab rics, the inexpensive materials and love- ly colorinS giving scope to the most orig inal conceptions One way of making a striped skirt is to have the front scanned so that it will form sharp vandykes. this being repeated upon the bias back widths.
 Ribbons will be more popular than ever for trimming summer dresses. Now there are several novelties among them. A perfect sash ribbon is stiff enough tC stand alone and has tiny bouquets of flowers powdered over white ground like the exquisite little sprigs on old Dresden china. The same design in black grosgrain is also very effective, and another pretty novelty is ribbon with long white lace edge.

 "Whatw exclaimed the invalid. "Is it cold here?"
 "It is simply freezing" answered a guest.

THE Chicago Tribune comes right out and declares that the city of Chicago has been cursed for a long time with worse and meaner aldermen than any other nun icipality in the United States. It is al- lowed that they do not get as big bribes as those Of New York. for there is much more wealth there, and franchises of more value; but proportionately they steal more. They rob both great and small. Every thing is fish that comes to their net. They collect thousands of dollars for gas ordi- nance, hundreds from a man who wants to Lay a switch track and S1O, or even S5, from theapplicant for petty office. The TIihune thinks it Is about time to reform things there. but it rather despairs of ac- complaining anything.

travelling dresses. There are also many closely woven twills of two dark colors brown with blue. green with violet or brown with green.
 Many of the cloth dresses that one sees just now have some sort of basque over the hips. A favOrite pattern is the short ripple" founce that is cut in circular shape, with no seam at the side and opening front and back. This may be made entirely separate from the waist, to which it is joined by belt. Short flat tabs of cloth are also popular on the tai Tor made gowns. Again, another capital tweed dress here is made of mixed shades of brown and black. The close fitting, short bodice has broad plastron of tan color cloth braided in military fashion in black braid, and an outdoor jacket, which is in rather bright shade of green, is successfully trimmed with a scroll design in black braid. followed by a black and gold cord and has wide pointed revers. Waistcoatings have a diagonally twilled surface. spotted with color. Drab looks well spotted with blue, and a powder blue surface is to be found speckled with blue or red or tan. A capital check is of leather color and white.
 The popular tailor suit is in three pieces-Jacket, waistcoat and skirt. The jacket is usually made so as to admit of
