A YOUNG GIRLS FORTUNE.
AN INTERESTING SKETCH.


Nothing appeals so strongly to a mothers
affection as her daughter just budding into
womanhood. Following is an instance: "Our
daughter, Blanche, now Is years Of age, had
been terribly afflicted with nervousness, and
had lost the entire use of her right arm. She
was in such a condition that we had to keep
her from school and abandon her music les
sons. In fact, we feared st. Vtus dance, and
are positive but for an invaluable remedy she
would have had that terrible aifliction. We
had employed physicians, but she received no
benefit from them. The first Of last August she
weighed but Is pounds, and although she has
taken only three bottles of Nervine she now
weighs l06 pounds her nervousness and symp-
toms of ST. Nitus dance arc entirely gone, she
attends school regularly, and studies with COM
fort and ease. She has recovered complete use
of her arm, her appetite Is splendid, and no
money could procure for our daughter the health
Dr. Miles Nervine has brought her.

not listen to him, but as o last resort he sent us

He Can. Make Rain.

Secretary Morton, at Washington,
has received a large nu",ber of inquiries
from all parts Of the country as to the
results of the departments rainfall expe-
riments, aud the feasibility Of controlling
precipitation by means of explosions. =
The following circular is being sent by
the department to all inq iiries:
Replying to your letter as to rain
making experiments, have to inform
you that in no case did they pass the
merely experimental stage, and that the
prospect Of ultimate success is not such
as to justify farmers or other citizens iB
making experimentation. In this
determination, judgment and opinion |
am supported by the scientists and other
alleged experts in meteorology connect
ed with the United States weather bu-
reau. The bombardment Of the skies
for water. as carried on by this depart
ment, did not produce results calculated
to inspire the hope that any method Of
conclusion can be made commercially
successful in precipita ing the moisture
from the clouds"

About rs, 900 of those who visited the
Worlds Fair last year paid ten cents each
to kiss the "blarney stone" which it was
claimed was brought from the iamou:
Blarney Castle, in ireland, and of which
so much has been said and written -
But for discovery that was made not
long ago those %, 900 people you'd moi
be any the wiser. 1t is learned that
some speculative person conceived The
idea of placing the stone in the building
of the Irish village, in the Midway
Plaisance, and one night he dug up a
stone out of the streets Of Chicago aud
secretly placed i. among some goods
that had actually come from Ireland,
and thus deceived the customs officers.
The trick netted $1,000 and the people
who kissed it and paid tea cents each for
doing so only proved afresh what Bar
uum used to say, Wis THAT the Amer
lean people like to be humbuged' In
this case they were completely taken in
and we doubt whether this was the only
humbug connected with FAN.

County officials.

The appointments Of Tax Collectors

manner Of the discharge of the duties
pertaining to these offices is Of para
mount importance to the people as upon

officials Of county depend its cast and
standing in the eyes of a criticising
public The positions Of Tax Collec-
tors are important, because the persons
filling those Offices directly handle every
dollar Of the peoples money, and every
care and caution should be exercised by
the appointing power in the selection Of
such officials Prompt and practical
business men are best suited. because
such persons comprehend the needs of a
business community, and endeayor in
the discharge Of their official duties, to live
up to the same practices which regulate
their actions in conducting their own

are Of importance, those of Road
Supervisors are doubly so Good roads
is the theme now agitating the public
mind all over the State, aId our own
people have long been awake to the good
resulting from such an internal improve
ment. The system of meDding the roads
We have, is a good enc, and under it we
have the best public roads in the State.
But while this is SO, a great deal de-
ponds upon the skill and judgment of
the Road Supervisors We have had
practical illustrations in the county of
one inefficient Supervisor tearing up
the good work done by another, and often
tines, stricking evidences of the
utter incapacity of such officials to sug-
gest the first idea of how to make good
public highways This, however, will
not be the case with the new appointees.
Some of them have shown their superior
skill in su,h work and the others are
men of fair intelligence and of excellent
judgment, and it would, therefore, be
unfair to presume otherwise than that

The New Chinese Treaty.

The negotiation of new treaty with
China is arouslng popular interest once
more in the so-called "Chinese question +"
1t will assuredly be strongly opposed on
the Pacific Coast, where the numbers Of
the Chinese are greatest. 1t prohibits
the Immigration Of Chinese laborers into
the United States for period of ten
years. require registration Of those now
here-but with the Photographic identi-
fcation recruitment omitted, allows all
laborers already here to 60 to China and
return, who have wife, child or parent
residing here, or property or debts due
to the amount of 81, 900. And the reg
istration requirement applies to all
American laborers in China the same as
to Chinese here.
When the people any but Chinese, the
provisions could be considered amply Sc
we're to achieve the desired end-to put
u stop to further immigration But
with these pror'- It will not accomplish
that. The Six Companies are more
powerful than the Chinese imperial gov
ernment. so far as this illegal immigra-
ton is concerned. II may make its
treaty in all good faith. but the greed of
the Six Companies will nullify the trea-
ty provisions Forged certificates and
all other needed paraphernalia of fraud
will be used. They have been able to
defy all laws for Chinese exclusion so
far, even the Geary act; and the new
treaty will enable them to do it with
more boldness and IMMUNITY.
Hence the real question which the
Senate will have to decide when it comes
to discuss the treaty will be. shall we
open the doors to practically unrestricted
Chinese immigration, or shall we not?-
The treaty will do this. If we wish to
keep the Chinese out, we must begin by
sending away those already here. The
experience of the past shows this The
most stringent laws have so far failed to
keep out these sEarming heather. So
long as any are allowed to remain here,
so long more will come. The discussion
thus becomes vital one. especially to
the Pacific Coast States.
