neLAlNe. A rRAaEpx.y
A Drama For the Stage. which VIII Not
BE Enacted In New York.

An American playwriter has been for
some time engaged in the composition
of drama OF contemporary life In
which the chief character is to be IA
nous American statesman, now deceas-
ed The title which he has chosen for
it is Blaine. Tragedy" It certainly
looks like bad taste to dramatize, at
least in this generation, the career OF
the American here named, but the au-
thor maintains that he can do it inof
fensively and in such way as to dig
Nifty his subject, as the life Of Mr. Blaine
was full of dramatic material. and as
there were scenes in il which would be
especially serviceable for drama Of
real life. He says that Shakespeare made
use Of personages who lived not long
before his time, and even of some who
were his contemporaries, and he gives
the names Of other playwriters who have
used their acquaintance in their stage
compositions. When reminded that even
the greatest and most picturesque Amer
leans Of past times, from the days Of
Washington to those Of Lincoln, had
never been used successfully for dramat-
ic material. as Shakespeare used the
kings Of England, he replied that this
was a thing which would surely yet be
done in this country. as it has been done
in other lands. and that. in any event,
it is his purpose to begin the undertake
ing.

An American family in Paris, accord
ing to lie Temps, has excited some no
tice in that sensation loving capital by
its conduct over the death Of dog. The
animal was a great pet in the family,
and on his falling i'll all the experts in
dog maladies were at once summoned
AS he persistently grew worse, he was
taken to an establishment for the care
Of dogs, a sort Of private hospital, and
orders given that every attention and
effort should be made to save him.
Members of the family called two and
three times day to inquire for Kwik,
as the dog was called; but, despite all
care, Kwik died, and there was nothing
left for the sorrowing family to do but
bury him. An undertaken was summon
ed and poor Kwik made ready for the
grave. An oak casket, fitted into a sec
ond one of lead. was prepared and a
grave made in the private plot Of a
friend Of Kwik's master at Vaucresson.
All official red tape was duly complied
with, and ON the day of the interment
the funeral cortege comprised three car
riages.
The ceremony ended, the undertaken s
bill of $50 was duly presented This
Kwik's mourners found SO very moder-
ate that the sum Of $40 was added to
be divided among the gravediggers.

The Nesv Yort Tribune says "The habit Of
taking headache powders Is increasing to an
alarming extent among n great number Of wo-
men throughout the country. These powders as
their name indicates. are claimed by the manu-
facturers TO be a positive and speedy cure for any
form Of headache. In many cases their chief
ingredient Is morphine opium cocaine or some
other equally injurious drug having a tendency
TO deaden pain. The habit Of taking them is
easily formed. but almost impossible to shake
on Women usually begin taking them TO re-
heve raging headache and soon resort to the
powder TO alleviate any little pain or ache they
may be subjected TO. and finally like the NOR
phine or opium hend get into the habit Of taking
them regularly imagining that they are in pain
II they happen to miss their regular dose"
In nine cases out of ten, the trouble is
in the stomach and liver Take simple
laxative and liver tonic and remove the
offending matter which deranges the
stomach and causes the headache. Dr.

entirely OF the purest, concentrated,
