GET new BLOOD IN APRIL.
The Body q Machine that Cannot be Stopped for Repairs---
Paines Celery Compound Feeds Its Shattered Nerves, Puri-
fes the Blood, Makes Refreshing Sleep Possible.

All parts Of the body are adjusted with
the greatest nicely, and a arrangement of one
affects the whole. We cannot stop this COM
plicated mechanism for repairs, because we
do not know the secret that would set it go
ing again. The repairs must be made when
it is in motion.
1t is in sleep that the machine goes slowly,
the heart beats less rapidly, the blood articu-
lates less quickly, the nerves rest, the mus
Giles relax, and each gains vigor in the only
way it can-by sleep and rest. Paine's
celery compound quiets and regulates the
nerves by supplying the material for their
repair, and the tired, exhausted man and
woman, on the verge of breaking down, gets
sleeps and the means of recovery to health
and strength.
All over the country Paine's celery COM
pound is convincing overworked business
men, anxious h~ousekeepers, women behind
counters and in offices, school teachers, and
all who use their brains excessively, that the
unqualified praise from physicians and others,
who are careful of what they say, is none
too strong for this great remedy that is max
ing so many well and strong.

THIRTY-oNE MILES AN HOUR.
Tremendous Speed of the Havoc,
EngIand.s New Torpedo Catcher.

-
Englandss New Torpedo Catcher.
A satisfactory trial trip was made on
Saturday In the Havoc, which has been
built for the navy by Messrs. Yarrow of
Poplar. The Havoc is the fastest vessel in
the British, and probably in any fleet, and
has been specially designed with a view to
the destruction of the hostile torpedo boats.
Living off the town pier at Gravesend. the
first of fourteen of these destroyers looked
ANYTHING but beautiful. The main point, of
gJdrse, IS her speed. The torpedo boats
which she has to destroy can steam out any
where between twenty two and twenty-four
knots. The Havoc at her official trial has
done rather more thai twenty-six knots in
boisterous weather during a continuous run
of three hours duration. At times her
speed was as much as twenty-seyen knots, or
thirty-one miles an hour, so chat she could
easily give points to an average stopping
train.
With this high rate of steaming, too, she
steers exceptionally well. On Saturday,
when she ran down the Thames as far as the
Mouse Eghtship, and was content to do a
modest twenty knots, there was an almost
complete absence Of vibration, hi it was
stated that she is practically free from this
reproach, even at her highest speed. Pro
PEELED by twin screws, and with engines cap
able of developing $500 horse power, this
vessel of $50 feet long and only 1s15. feet
beam can carry a sufficient coal supply to
enable her to run some 1000 miles at low
speed. In all she has no fewer than fourteen
steam engines, and how her complicated
machinery, with all its ramifications has
been packed away below so as to leave room
for a complement of forty-twe officers and
men is little less than a marvel.-West

Paine's celery compound; years have shown
the wisdom of doing so.
April has always been set down as the best
time to remove impurities from the blood
and to regulate the nervous system.
The formula for Paine's celery compound
was given to the world by Edward E. Phelps,
M. D., LII. D., while he was still active pro-
fessor in the Dartmouth medical school. A
remarkable nerve food and blood purifier, it
is the most valuable contribution to the
worlds progress that American college in
f1uence has sent forth.
Its power of restoring lives of countless
men and women from feebleness and despair
to strength and usefulness is known in every
part of the country. 1t has added years of
active, joyous existence to thousands of
weak, tired-out, ailing women who thought
themselves doomed to be invalids for the
rest of their days. Paine's celery compound
cures thoroughly and finally rheumatism,
neuralgia, dyspepsia, diseases of heart, liver
and kidneys, and every form Of nervous
weakness. 1t cures as nature cures, by feed
ing the vital inmost parts of the body, the
the blood and nerves.

THEODORE HOOK.
Even His Best Work Was of a Reck'
less and Hurried Character.

16H6 IL H H aSsOAs
The fact is thai during the twenties and
thirties, the years Of Hooks fame and for
tune, the country was very badly off for
novelists, and especially for novelists of
modern and contemporary life. Nearly all
Scotts best were written, n Miss Austen
| had ceased to write when Hook began;
Dickens had but just appeared, and Bulwer
not long, when Hook died. SCOTS line was
different, Miss Austen had made no school,
| and, though novels were being written in
ever increasing numbers, their writers were
for the most part all abroad in the novel
proper. They could not get out of the ira
dition of Fielding and Smollett, itself a sur
vival of the picturesque romance.
Although the life of their heroes and
heroines was supposed to be modern and
actual, it had to be spiced with adventures
! and adjusted to a sort of Odyssey, comic or
tragic, as the case might be, watered with
4he tears of sensibility or reused by the
| ten, nobody had yet dared with conspicuous
genius and success to depict purely ordinary
life.
Hook, for all his talent, all his facility,
all his experience of the world, was GER
tainly not the man to strike out the new
line.
1t is perfectly obvious, not merely from
his carelessness of style n story, but from
consideration of the life he led, that he must
almost always nave written in a scrambling
hurry. He was, in fact, a born improvisa-
tore, and l should imagine that the Sayings
and Doingsr cost him very little more labor,
or, in proportion, more time than the famous
impromptu comediettas which he used to
throw off at rich mems dinners by way OF
| payment for the claret and retainer for a
further Observation-Disclosures Magazine.
