 "When 1 began the second bottle 1 could see had improved very much. 1 continued taking it and in a few months no one would know had been sick with severe nervous prostration.
 "It also cured me of female troubles, which I had been a great sufferer from. It is wonderful medicine and I cannot say enough in praise of it. I advise any person afflicted with any of these cosl- plints to use it, and 1 am positive they will get we'll"
 If you want to be perfectly strong and healthy the best possible thing to do is to take this great curer and strengthener. You can be cured quicker in the spring than at any other season. You maatst take spring medicine, everyone knows that and Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy is the best and most certain be- cause it always cures.
 It is the discovery of Dr. Greene, of B West 14th Street, New York City. He is the most successful specialist in curing nervous and chronic diseases, and can be consulted free, personally or by letter.

A SPRING STORY.
A FEW THINGS YOU OUGHT SURELY TO DO
 AT THIS SEASON.


 In the spring we feel tired, languid and debilitated. The change from cold to warm weather causes depression of the vital forces resulting in an inactive state l, of the stomach, liver, bowels and kidneys Headache is common, and the blood un- dergoes changes which greatly debilitate the system.
 The complexion is apt to be sallow, and dark circles gather under the eyes. If something is not done to overcome these conditions, they will last indefinitely and may Jesuit in severe sickness. Read the experience of the well-known Mrs. A. A. Herrick, of 40 Everett Street, East Son. erville, Mass.

The new Chinese treaty which secre- tary Gresham has negotiated with Minis ter Yang Yu is so fair to the Chinese that the western senators are mortified. It actually requires the registration of Americans in China as it is required of Chinamen in this country. Why not ? As to the sauce the goose and the gander are on the same footing. The trouble of it is that only when we negotiate treaties do we really begin to comprehend our true relation to the Chinese.

Three typical Egyptian statues surmount the portal-seated figures, with the crossed hands and quaint headdress seen in the statues of the Rameses in the Memnonium. In the center of the ground floor is the olive oil obelisk which was in the California building at Chica- go, and surrounding this at 8 height of 90 feet is 8 hanging gallery.

 IN APRIL.
In the windy April,

In the windy April,
 When the worlds aglow With crocus bell and daffodil, And primroses do blow Across the dawning meadow In spray of green and gold, Every nook in all the land Its secret joy doth hold. Brightly and lightly
 Drifting swallows fly; Yet my heart is lonesome, Who knows why, In the windy April
 Spent is winters pain; Cheery, piping Robin
 Struts the fields again Ears are glad for hearing,
 Eyes are glad for sight Of all the bonny green things Climbing to the light; Gay day is gray day,
 Rainy day or dry; Still my heart is lonesome, Who knows why In the windy April
 Dear is Hopes unrest, Throbbing in the frozen ground, In the frozen breast. Clouds fair as sunshine
 Flash and fade away: Silver is the nighttime,
 Golden is the day: Best time and blest time
 Of the year is nigh. Still my heart is lonesome God knows why.

The usual treatment of catarrh is very unsatisfactory, as thousands can testify. Proper loeal treatment is positively nec- essary to success, but many, if not most, of the remedies in general use afford but relief. A cure certainly can- not be expected from snuffs, powders, douches and washes. Ely's Cream Balm, which is so highly commended, is a rem edy which combines the important requis- ties of quick action, specific curative pow CT, with perfect safety and pleasantness to the patieut. The druggists all sell it.

JUNIOR HAD THE LAST WoRD.-I heard a good story on Colonel Breckinridge from Kentucky congressman last night. It seems that the defendant in the pend- ing breach of promise case has family of grown-up children, three girls and two his fathers law practice, and has been active in taking dispositions for the de- fense. He has sowed good many wild oats, but not so many as his brother, who is described as about the widest and most reckless youth in the blue grass region. Not long before the present scandal broke out young Breckinridge got into a des- perate row down in Kentucky, in which several men were shot and cut, and he himself badly used up. Colonel Breck- inridge, when he was in Washington, heard the news, and telegraphed at once to Colonel Shelby, his partner: "Have Bob kept in jail until return"
 The instructions were carried out. As soon as Colonel Breckinridge could leave Washington he went to Lexington, made Bob pack up his things and took him to Philadelphia, where he put him on board a sailing vessel that was bound for San Francisco around the Horn, with instruc- tions to the captain to discipline him if necessary. He hoped the voyage would do the young man good. But the very day the ship sailed the Pollard scandal was published in the newspapers. Of course Bob heard of it, and read all the disgusting details. Whereupon he went to the telegraph office a}Rqd and wired Colonel Shelby at Lexington: "Have father kept in jail until return ''- Chicago Record.

 Washington Star: Anappetizing break fast or tea dish is called by some "egg bread," and by others ''fried likens." Prepare slices of stale bread by trimming them to as uniform a thickness as possi- ble and cutting off ragged edges. No bread can get too dry for this dish. Take pint of milk-skimmed will answer and if not perfectly sweet, add pinch of baking soda to 'sweeten, half teaspoon full of salt and two eggs well beaten. Put in deep dish, into which dip the slices of bread; then lay on plate to soften. Very dry bread may need a second. dip in the egg and milk. Fry the cake griddle as you would ''pan" cakes, in plenty of sweet butter or meat drippings. If milk is not handy, use three eggs, two-thirds of a pint of water and tablespoonful of sugar.

nomination Senator Hill and Repre-

notified of their nomination at the
party headquarters. Chairman Hinclk-
ley, of the state committee, introduced
Bourlze Cochran, who made an APP
propriate speech to the two candidates.
The most telling point in Senator
Hills reply was that while the nomina-
ton came to him unsought and unde-
sired, he could not at this time refuse
his acceptance of it from the party
which had always honored him in the
days Of its sunshine and prosperity.
This brought prolonged cheers. Rep
resentative Lockwood also spoke. He
intimated that the support of the adj
ministration at Washington could be
depended upon.
