"There is no doubt that the life of most
women at the present day is a complex
one" says the Ladies' Home Journal,
"and in the large cities the demands
made upon time and strength are legion.
No wonder so many fall by the way"
Even women of the privileged classes
know what fatigue means, and the weari-
ness resulting from overtaxed nerves, that
is more intense and more depressing than
anything known to tired muscles.
When frequent headaches and neuralgia
give warning that the nerve tissues are
not being fully repaired after hard work
or anxiety further mischief will be
avoided by feeding the brain and nerves
with the wonderful nutriment, Paine's
celery compound.
Nature is a gentle mother and soothes
while she strengthens.
Paine's celery compound builds up the
body according to natures plan.
The human machine must have fuel.
This grand invigorator and strengthener
is able to restore the delicate nerves to
robust health by feeding them rapidly
and abundantly with the peculiar ele-
ments they find it so difficult to extract
for themselves from the ordinary hearty
diet. A great nerve doctor, famous in
two continents, says that any woman
whose ner 7ous strength is at all depleted
must either take time to rest at any cost
or replace the worn.out tissues with
Paine's celery compound.

Mr.. Reilly,s Bill.

The records of Congress give undeniable
proof of Mr., Reilly's interest in the well
fare of the old soldiers. In 1890 he intro
duced bill in Congress providing for
service pension for the soldiers of the war
of the rebellion and their widows" Pre-
vious to this time it was impossible for an
old soldier or a soldiers widow to procure
a pension unless it was proven the disa-
bility or death was due to injury sustained
while in service. Mr.. Reilly's bill gave a
pension of $500 per month to every old
soldier who could prove an honorable dis
charge, or to the widow of an honorably
discharged soldier. Under Mr.. Reilly's
bill it was not necessary to prove that
disabilities were sustained while in ser.
vice, or that death was due to injuries
sustained while in service. An honorable
discharge was the only necessary require
ment. The bill provides that pension
of $500 per month shall be granted to the
widow of any honorably discharged sol
dler who served three months in the army
or navy, where the widow has no means
of support other than her daily labor or
to the minor children of any such soldier,
under the age of sixteen. Mr.. Reilly
secured the passage of the bill, and it is
to-day upon the statue books, and thou
sands of old soldiers and soldiers widows
are receiving the relief James 3. Reilly
secured for them.

Mrs. Jennie A. Ruff, whose portrait is

Sebewa, Mich, says;
"My husband has had stomach
trouble for over year, from which he
suffered the tortures of a daily death.
He could eat scarcely anything, and what
he did eat soured on his stomach and
caused him to bloat so terribly that life
was only burden. He tried physicians
to no avail, and as 1 was taking Paine's

to find that he could eat anything with
no bad effects; the bloatinR is all gone
and his stomach is in good condition.

years she has been preparing herself, not
only for that but sho has carefully laid

An Effective Whistle,

One of the popular English authors of
the day was wholly incapacitated from
work by lady who lived next door and
strummed through Handel's Messiah. 1"
His idea of the inviolability of an Eng
lishman's house did not allow him to
send in any message, and he was at his
wits end till he saw in daily paper
that steam whistles could be bought to
fit onto kettle spouts. He provided him
self with one and put the kettle on the
fire in the room nearest the singer. AS
soon as the whistle began he went out.
Of course the bottom came off the ket-
tie, but it cost little to solder it on
again, and after two or three solderings
the lady took the hint.-San Francisco

THE REWARD OF VIRTUE.
The Appreciation Shown to a Man Who
Saved the Lives of a Woman and Babe.

The Appreciation Shown to a Man Who
Saved the Lives of a Woman and Babe.
A wOrkingman earning very small
wages and having wife and family to
keep, when engaged one day 90 miles
from his home, saw woman with
baby in her arms throw herself into the
river. He waded across a muddy dixie,
dived in after her and rescued the pair
with some difficulty. Up to the present
these have been the rewards of his hero
ism: First, he had to walk three miles
before he found any one who would let
him come in and go to bed while his
clothes were dried. Secondly, he was
compelled to attend at Rochester police
court next day. when he says he was
ordered about by the police, treated as
only one degree removed from a crimi-
nal and dismissed without payment to
walk eight miles to Gravesend, where
he was temporarily stopping. Thirdly,
he is detained at Gravesend while the
would be suicide is under remand.
Finally, he is reduced to destitution,
and his family at home are in the same
position by the loss of time and employ
ment.
Whether he will eventually be fined
or imprisoned or merely allowed to be-
take himself with his family to the
wOrkhouse remains to be seen. Possibly
this is all done with the view of dis
couraging those who would interfere
with the suicidal intentions of their
neighbors. On no other ground can it
be ustifed.-London Truth.

How to Hang Pictures.

The practice of hanging oil and water
color paintings, engravings and photo
graphs is legitimate ornamentation of
walls. 1t is not necessary that they
should be placed close together. The
Decorator and Furnisher says that it is
a better plan to separate them by such
small objects as scOnces or little wooden
brackets, supporting statuettes, and so
on. The best method of hanging pictures
is to divide the wall space into different
sized rectangular panels by means Of
fiat holdings and fill each space with a
suitable picture. This is a very good
system for hanging water colors, etch-
ings and engrayings and is quite artis-
tic. All the spaces need not be filled
with pictures, some being decorated
with stenciled ornament.
