IT STOPPED THE FITS.
And No Sign Of Them Ever
Returned.
What a Bright and Original Woman
Succeeded in Doing.
Fits Are Terrible Things But There is One Sure
Way to Conquer Them.

Every time q child has fit it takes
IL fearful stride towards the grave. They
sap the very life's blood and drag from
the wasted nerves the foundation Of life
itself Tho whole nervous system is Of
fected and the nerve centres are fearfully
weakened.
1t is just here that the peculiar and
wonderful action of DR. Grecnes Nervura
blood and nerve remedy is 50 strongly
SEEN The disease simply cannot resist it.
The very first dose often produces a
change for the better, and from that min
ute the nervous symptoms grow less.
The child who has fits, ST vitus' dance
or other nervous diseases, generally has
poor blool. r ght here again come in
those virtues which have made DIR. Greene's
Ncryura blood and nerve remedy indls-
pcnsablc to the sick. 1t makes the blood
rich, pure aud Of vigorous circulation.
Mrs. J. Learmonth Of 776 Broadway,
South Boston, Mass who had employed
physicians unsuccessfuiliy, finally deter

BEATlFlcATIoN IN CHINA.
The Emperor Makes and Unmakes God
at His Own Sweet Pleasure.


at His Own Sweet Pleasure.
In China the emperor claims power, not
only over his subjects land indeed, for
that matter, the whole inhabited world,
but also over the realms OF departed spir-
its These he beatiiies, canonizea, decoratcs
with titles, mentions with approval in the
Picking Gazette when they do anything 70
deserve that honor and actually degradcs
and uncanonizes IL he sees just cause. For
example, the Emperor Hicne Flung elevi.t-
ed the god of war to an equal rank with
Confucius. who previously had been CHIEF
among the state gods.
Sir Alfred Lyall has drawn attention TO
some amusing extracts from the Picking
Gazette, illustrating the way IN which tho
Chinese treat their deities. Thus The Gu
zette OF November, 1875, has the follow
ing;
"Tho governor general Of the Yellow
river requests that tablet may be put up
In honor of the river god. He states that
during the transmission Of the relief rico
to Honaa, whenever difficulties were en-.
countered through shadows, wind or rain
the river god interposed in the most un
mistakable manner. 50 that che transport
of grain went on without hindrancc. Or
der: Let the proper officer prepare a tablet
for the temple OF the river god"
In April, 1850, the god OF locusts was
similarly rewarded. a month or two
earlier the temple of the Sea Dragon AZ
Hoyang was dccreed u memorial board for
services rendered in connection with rain,
and in another Gazette the god of water
is given a new temple by special rescript
All this procedure is thoroughly in keep
ing with the notions of the common Poo
pie of China, who look upon the gods sim
ply ms human beings in different set Of
conditions. --Contemporary Review.

CARLISLE MUST EXPLAIN
His Contract With Bond Syndicate to
Ways and Means Committee.
And Why Marke! Price is Higher Than His
Price for Bonds.

Wa. hin yton, Feb 11-Secretary Carlisle
will be asked to appear before the House
ways and means committee, tomorrow,
and lay before the members copy of the
contract made with the syndicate for the
purchase of the new issue OF government
bonds That this invitation should be
sent to him was the conclusion reached
by the committee after session, today,
of an hour and a half.
When the committee met, Bynum of
Indiana, who offered resolution at SatuT-
days meeting favoring the assurance of a
30-yearS, per cent. gold bond, withdre"
it wi thout comment.
Thereupon Wilson of West Virginia,
chairman Of the committee, laid before
the members proposition in writing,
which, while lacking the form of resolu-
ton, embodied the essential character 81
such a measure, looking to the authorize
ton of the President to negotiate this
specific loan at per cent, payable in
gold, and prohibiting the secretary OF the
treasury from using it for current eX-
penses and only as Il reserve for the green
backs. The term of years for which the
bonds might run, was not mentioned
This led to general discussion.
Representative Cochran OF New York,
offered resolution (Which went over
authorizing the secretary Of the treasury
to buy gold and silver bullion in such
amounts as may enable him to maintain
the parity of the two metals and the IN
tegrity of the gold reserve, and issue bones
for the gold or silver bullion purchased,
provided that the same metal purchased
shall be returned at stated periods liked
in the bond, at 8 per cent interest for
the use of the bullion offered.
1t came out in the discussion that on
the day the contract was alleged TO have
been made with the syndicaue, per cent.
bonds were selling in New York at p. 7
cent. more than was offered for the pro
posed new 80 years loan.
The question was then asked OF MI
Wilson how it happened that the Presi-
dent could negotiate such loan with MS
friends, MessrS Stetson and Morgan,
representing the Rothschilds of Europe
for 80 years bond at this difference be
tween the price offered and the quotation
for per cents. in New York that day.
Mr. Wilson replied he did not know.
This led Hopkins of Illinois, one of the
Republican member of the committee, to
move that Sec Carlisle be asked to come
before the committee, this afternoon, and
lay before it copy of the contract made
with the syndicate. He added that it was
proper that the ways and means commit
tt e should be in possession of the fullest
information, not only regarding the cor
tract, but also the circumstances under
which it was made SO that the commit
tie could vote intelligently upon it.
This proposition was seconded by Cock
ran, and, after brief debate, was carried
the only opposing votes being cast by Mr..
Bynum and Mr.. Turner of Georgia.

ESTHER, THE COOK.

o, sing me song of Esther, the cook,
Who baits her line with q sugared hook
o, sing of her kitchen, spick and span,
With its cosy kettle and shining pan!
Let others brag of the dance-hall gay,
Ablaze with lights in bold array
Or rave of the dainty drawing-room,
Where the foot sinks deep in the velvet's
bloom.
There be that love my lady's bower,
With couch and cushion for it's dover;
And others who shrink from hurtling harms
Mid shelves that shelter the vellum's charms
But ah! crave choicer nook;
Where, coming cakes from her magic book
A spoon for her sceptre, sits Esther, the
cook;
So round of face so rosy of look,
That her portrait speaks in each polished
Z ! pan
Shrewd solace to mine inner man.
So sing to me ef wholesome cheer;
OF loaf that's light, and jelly that's clear;
OF potted pigeon and pumpkin pie;
Of creamery puff and custard shy,
That breathe a message for such as 1;
And crown your song with Esther's name,
That she may know undying fame!
