Indicate as surely as any physical symptom shows anything, that the or gans and tissues of the body are not satisfied with their nourishment.
 They draw their sustenance from the blood, and if the blood is thin, i'm pure or insufficient, they are in state of revolt. Their complaints are made to the brain, the king of the body, through the nervous system, and the result of the general dissatisfaction is what we call Nervousness.
 This is concise, reasonable expla- nation of the whole matter.
 The cure for Nervousness, then, is simple. Purify and enrich your blood by taking Hoods Sarsaparilla, and the nerves, tissues and organs will have the healthful nourishment they crave. Nervousness and Weakness will then give way to strength and health.
 That this is not theory but fact is proven by the voluntary statements of thousands cured by Hoods Sarsapa- rilla. Read the next column.

strange Story of a Phenomenon Discovered
 in the Wilds of the Choctaw Nation.
 PARIS, Tex, April 1.-Parties who arrived here yesterday bring news of a most singular phenomenon recently discovered in the widest part of the Choctaw nation. The Nanawoyd noun tain is about Is miles long and towers fully I 1000 feet above the surrounding country It is an unfrequented sec tion, no person living within 30 miles of it. A party of hunters went there and seeing some smoke took it to be a camp, and pro- ceeded to the place. Arriving there, they found that the smoke was issuing from Assure in the rock, which was so hot they could not stand on It. A strong odor of sulphur pervaded the atmosphere, and occasional detona- tions were heard. The party became alarmed and left the vicinity. They went to an old Indian and informed him of their discovery. He was familiar with the place and said that the smoke was issuing from it and the same noises was heard in 1882, when the Choctaws went to that country. A further investigation will be made, as veins of silver have been found at the base of the burning mountain.

BUNCO IN HIGH LIFE.
How Society People Impose Upon the Poor
 Foreign Singer.

How Society People Impose Upon the Poor
 Foreign Singer.
 Foreign artists coming to New York complain bitterly of the treatment they receive at the hands of certain hostesses who make it point to an- nounce a series of musicales for the season. If the artist be a singer, pian- ist, violinist or mandolinist who comes from Europe with a reputation, but without having previously mapped out any tour, relying upon New York so- cial verdict to set the ball rolling, he or she will be sought out by score of society lion hunters within twenty four hours after landing in America. The artist will be told that Mrs. x. is to give swell soiree musicale and that if the artist will but consent to appear and clectrify my lady's guests, she (my lady) being the holder of the keys to the social heaven of the metropolis, from that time forth the request of the artist will amount to a command, for the reason that my lady creates the ap- petite for fads and the mighty phalanx of the old rich, the rich old, the newly rich and the richly new will shower the artist with invitations to sing at a fabulous price per minute.
 Of course, the artist fancies that that is the way they do things in the states, and in order that the artist may get on, he or she accepts the invitation of Mrs. x. with joy and feasting. Mrs. Ks musicale is, of course, thunder ing success and the artist goes home elated. Not day passes until the artist has received a visit from a dozen hostesses who make overtures for his or her services. Naturally, the artist wishes to know how much it will pay, as the landlord has just presented his bill.
 "Ohr' exclaimed the hostess Mrs. x. paid you nothing. By appearing at our musicales you will make a great reputation. The society reporters will take you up and you will be able to de- mand your own price"
 The artist again argues that no doubt that is the way they do things out here, and consents to permit his or her name to go down for a number on the programme. But the eleven re- maining hostesses all confront the artist with the same proposition-play pr sing for social influence.
 The landlord grows impatient and no remuneration comes as the result of professional services. The season slips by and instead of having reaped gold en harvest through the medium of these swell society musicales, the artist is obliged to face a financial blizzard. It is all due to the fact that the richest women, those who ought to become patronesses of music in sub- stantial sense, are the first to demand free service. Get something for noth- ing" is their motto. Our guests praise us for the splendid entertainment that we give them. What do we care who suffers the consequence. The artist? Who is he? Why bless you. our stand ing order ts the caterer is so many cov- ers so many walters, so many spoons, and, by the way, you might send along an entertainer, provided that you know one who is seeking a reputation through an introduction to societys ranks. ."-Musical Courier.

IT was said that President Cleveland had received an intimation that the proposition of Germany for a monetary conference should not be taken too seriously and that the German govern ment would probably not even carry the matter so far as to issue invitations to other nations. The matter had gone thus far, it was said, only in deference to the agrarian agitation in Germany, and the understanding of the admin. istration was that the adoption of a resolution by the reichstag was only a temporary political expedient.

 WASHINGTON, April 1.-Contrary to the expectations of the officials, the treasury receipts for the month of March will again fall below the ex- penditures.

During May and June, how eyer, great things are expected from the income tax, but the most conserva- tive estimates now place the deficit for the fiscal year S25, 900, 900 or $50, 900, 900 greater than Mir.
