HOrrOws of Nervous Prostitution.

Nervous prostration is lingering,
racking, living death to those afflicted,
though wholly incomprehensible to others.
The nights are long aud sleepless, the
days are full of suffering. The weak eyes
cannot read. the unsteady hands have lost
their cunning. There seems to be 10 joy;
no comfort, nothing left but indescriba-
Bile and unpitied misery.
What is the cause of this lamentable
condition. and what it's remedy? Con-
slider the nerves. They are the organs of
sensation, extending to every part of the
body. They are fed and nourished by
the blood, and when the blood is impure,
the nourishment is insufficient and i'm
proper; then the nerves grow weaker and
weaker and the suffering must become
more and more intense.
This is the natural, truthful, scientific
the cure fer nervousness must come from
enriched and purified blood. Make the
blood pure, give it vitality and it will
properly feed the nerves and make them
strong. Hoods Sarsaparilla cures ner-
vousness because it acts directly upon
the blood, making it rich and pure and
endowing it with vitality and strength
giving power. No other medicine has
such record of cures. Thousands write
that they suffered intensely with nervous
ness and were cured by this great medi-
cine. The bullding-up powers of Hoods
Sarsaparilla are wonderful Even few
doses are sufficient to create an appetite,
and from that time on its healing, purify
ing, Strengthening effects are plainly felt.
The nerves became stronger, the sleep
becomes natural and refreshing, the
hands and limbs become steady, and soon
"life seems to go on without effort" and
perfect health is restored. Such is the
work which Hoods Sarsaparilla is doing
for hundreds of women today.
If you are a sufferer, Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla is the medicine you need. 1t will
give strength and health and make life
once more worth living.

BIO the best tho country every had, and
the first president of the new nation
will be one Of the royal family.
Queen Victoria Ia by long odds the
best ruler England has ever had. and in
recent speech the Prince Of Wales said
1t is his desire to live to soc England a
republic.
According to the hermit, Russia.
France and Italy will form an alliance
and will enter into war with Turkey.
This war Is to be the outgrowth Of Turk.
ish persecution Of Christian subjects.
This triple alliance will conquer the
domain Of the sick man Of the east At
the expiration Of the war complications
will arise which will plunge Italy and
France into war with Russia The re-
suit will be that the two countries will
be gobbled up by the northern power
and will cease to exist as independent
nations. While war Is being waged be-
tween them the pope will move the seat
Of Catholicism from Rome to some
town in southern Ireland. A rebellion
will take place in the land Of the sham
rock, In which the country will become
independent Of England. Then con-
fliot will arise between the ultra Catho-
lics Of the south Of Ireland and the ultra
Professionals Of tho north, In which the
southrons will be the viotora A king
dom will be established, and 1t is pre-
dioted that the reign Of tho first poten-
tate will become historic for its tyranny.
The prophet paints dark future for
the United States. He says at the close
Of the century feeling of unrest will

last executive head Of the United States.
During his administration tho discon.
tented masses will break into open re-.
bellion, and the established form Of
government will be overthrown. The
United States will be rent asunder, and

When order shall DO ! ought out Of
chaos, six republics will be formed,

Jennie A. Bacon who died at this vii
lage with typhoid fever on the LIST inst. is
worthy of more than mere notice. She
was the daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. A. L.
warner, was born in Mt. Tabor, June
9, 1864, her early life was spent in Dandy.
Manchester and Sunderland In her early
life she showed marks of training and
character that caused all who knew her
to love her. Some eleven years ago she
united with the Baptist church in Man.
chester Centre of which she was a mem
Der till her death. She was an active
worker in the church and Sunday school
in Sunderland and for number of years
played the organ there.
In 1888 she married G E. Bacon, who
with one son, a mother, father and one
sister are left to mourn her untimely
death. They soon entered the mercantile
business in Sunderland where they were
doing large and prosperous business,
but for various reasons, principally i'll
health of Mr.. Bacon, they came to this
village and bought out Gibson & Co. in
the fall of 1892.
She was closely connected with her hus-
band in all of his business, thoroughly
understanding it in every way, competent
to manage the same in his absence. a
good telegraph operator and pleasing
postmistress. After the loss of their
property by fire last January while they
were nearly overcome and discouraged
had she like many others given up and
been less help to her husband, they
never could have started here again. But
by her courage and business qualities pos
essed by but very few ladies, and not ex-
celled by many men. Not caring 1for
self they grasped the situation and start
ed anew, but alas, her hopes were never
to be realized. She never recovered from
the effects of the fire and gradually failed
till taken down with the fever DR..
Arnold of this place and DR.. Phillips of
Arlington attended her. Mrs Emma
Howard was with her night and day and
all that loving hands and money could do
was done for her. Never in the history
of the place has there been such deep
sympathy felt for any one as for Mr..
Bacon.
She who was so fair to look upon, so
kind and loving to all, so useful in the
place, so helpful to her companion, so
loved by all, just entering the best of life,
why she should be snatched away is more
then humanity can tell, but we know her
labor is ended and our loss is her eternal
gain.
The funeral was in Sunderland Satur-
day afternoon at which there was a large
attendance. The services were conducted
by Rev. J. A. Swart of Manchester
Centre, assisted by Rev. A. c. Field of
East Arlington. There was large col
lection of flowers contributed by friends
in Londonderry, Sunderland and from s.
l.. Griffith's green house in Dandy. The
services were conducted by the same pas
tor that baptised her and performed the
marriage ceremony.
1t seems as though the heavens and God
through nature are in sympathy for as
they were on the way to the cemetery the
clouds lowered and few drops of rain
like tears fell to the ground. E.

In one particular the Shakers excel all other men

also expert In extracting from them their charac.
teristfc essences and medicinal virtues. This IL
their peculiar industry. Their lives have been de-
voted to it. By it they supported. They excel
st. Benedict with their famous liqueur called
Benedictine"
Now, this lifelong study on tho part of the
Shakers has rot been In vain. They have accom-
plished much good. Their medicinal extracts and
cordals are known throughout the world
The Shaker Digestive Cordial is probably the

From London It'd Bits
To say that there must be at least s., $780,
900 lying in London banks which has been
forgotten Is no exaggeration at all, said a
bank manager to one Of our representatives
the other day II an Investigation could be
made, he went on. # would most likely be
found that this unclaimed sum was nearer
s., 600. 900 than $500, 900. ,.-.
A most curious case was that of a
wealthy merchants Ia LeadenhalI street.
whose forgetfulness was a byword. Ten
years ago he put, $4,000 in his bank
to his private account, and Immediately
forgot all about it. having neglected to fill
up the counterfoil in his deposit book. ..t
A few months age while tearing up some
old papers, he came across penclled note
bearing the words. 'tBank S50,00O' and a
made inquiries into the matter, and found
that he was Weather than he thought by
$4,000 with interest. How he overlooked
the amount it is difficult to say. He is still
noted for the haphaZard way in which he
keeps his private accounts
The old woman who forgot the existence
of legacy of $1,000 a year from her mas
ter was another instance of carelessness.
Here the old lady, one-time housekeepnr,
could hardly read or write. When she re-
ceived letter from her late masters solicit
tors to the effect that the legacy would be
paid quarterly on application at city
bank, the lucky woman for fortnight
was none the wiser. ....
/ The important look of the seal on the en-
velope and the fine note paper caused her
to make inquiries, and a friendly neighbor
after much effort, spelled through the let
ter. The old lady, who was in poor cir
cumstances, could not believe the good
news. and so. without going to the bank,
she decided that the letter was hoax.
