TO BE HEEpEp NOW.
In the Spring YOu1sfre Always Run Down.

Hs THIS WILL TELL YOU JUST WHAT TO DO FOR
 -YoURsELF-AND JUST WHY YOU SHOULD
 FOLLOW EXACTLY THIS PLAN.
 In the spring everybody needs to think about taking a spring medicine Not on- ly is this common practice, but very necessary and healthful one It is a fact which physicians acknowledge and the people recognize generally, that spring tonic taken during the months Of March, April and May is more conducive to the restoration of health, in cases of those who are sick, than any other course of treatment that could possibly be adopted.
 It is further understood by everybody that even for those who call themselves we'll, it is very important at this season of the year, if they would maintain good health and vigor, 10 take a spring remedy to strengthen and invigOrate the nerves, tone up the action of all the organs, and thus, by creating healthy condition of the nerves, blood, stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels, assist nature in the efforts she always makesin the spring to cleanse, purify and invigorate the system.
 In the spring there arc a great many and important changes going on in the body. Perfect health cannot be main- tained while the system is clogged and the organs sluggish, and the person has languid and weakened feeling, with more or less nervousness and debility.
 Now in regard to what you should take The best spring medicine, indorsed and recommended by physicians, druggists and the people, is Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy. In proof of this thousands of testimonials are being con- stantly published in the papers. The fol- lowing is from Mrs. Etta Sumner of Good els, Mich.
 II have been afflicted,' she says, with nervous debility for year. My nerves were completely prostrated, and 1 suf- fered at the slightest excitement with great headache. At times I was entirely overcome by this disease. 1 would stay in the house alone, and despise the sight of my own people.
 My entire nervous system was shat tered, and my life was worriment and burden 10 me. l was advised to try Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve rem- edy, and while on the first bottle, began to recover. My friends were very much surprised.

 Mother Auria presides over this well- known inst,tution, and with her associates ministers to inc wants of over two hundred old psople, women and men. An important feature of the Horne is a wcll-appOintcd pharmacy in Charge of one of the sisters Their lief rtlnedy is good old Pain Killer, which m ,st of the old folks used when they were children and which now cures the pains and aches incidental to their declining years
 As x to b. G. pecSed, the aged inmates of the Home are ln constant need of medical attention, although, so carefully are they tend Ad, few are rarely sick enough to be in t!fr hosPitul wing st any one time. But all of them are subject to the many disabilities of old age, and so Pain-Killcr las come to b. q remedT of almost daily use.
 Mother .\urelia says that Pain-Killer has quite superseded the drugs and prescriptions for use among tine old people. When the limbs tw;!ch with rheumatism the fair sister in charge ofthe pharmacy gives them maSSagt with pure Pain-Kilier. When the "l men and old women suffer from thti. many stomach troubles, a little Pain. Killer with " trr and sugar offers a certain and quick relief When the venerable heads are rhckcd with pain, Pain Killer is again put to se"vice promptly The old people love it and re'y upon it.

The story of the western broncho so
common here in Colorado reads like a rO-
nance. When Columbus discovered the
new world, there were no horses in all its
length and breadth, save tho prehistoric
horse, a small animal, scarcely as large as
a Shetland pony.
The history of the American horse really
dates from the arrival of Cortes and his
band of Spanish adventurous upon the
shores Of Mexico. 1t is no exaggeation to
say that the unusual sight of "a man on
horseback, appearing TO the superstitious
natives as one animal, contributed much
to the success of Cortes and his little army
of conquerors. A number of these horses
of the first Spanish invaders noble ami
mails, through whose veins ran the blood
Of the fiery Arab steed celebrated in song
and story, escaped from their owners and
ran of into the heart of the country.
Through two centuries of practical inn
munity from the encrOachnents of human
beings these animals multiplied and -four
ished They wandered. through tbs wilds
Of California, Texas, Colorado and the
mountain districts, where the several
droves assumed distinct individualities
through climatic influences.
The California species, which subse-
quently became known as the mustang,
was larger than the Texas broncho. in
the mountain districts was found the spot
ted horse, or oayuse. Even to this day
there are still to be found in some portions
of the far west droves Of these wild horses
that have never felt the bit between their
teeth nor the saddle upon their backs. -.

Their Chief Diversion.
can Indian horse race is the greatest
and most important event of the year to
the tribes who participate in it, said
Ramon Thornton of Cheyenne to a re-
porter. 1T is totally unlike our equine
contests, for, to begin with, there is
only one race, for which it takes months
and weeks to arrange the details, and I
must tell you that the average Indian is
remarkably good matchmaker. I do
not think ever saw race that was not
productive of a close, exciting finish.
As soon as the day is set for the
great contest every man, woman and
papoose of both tribes assemble at the
appointed place, bringing all their
worldly wealth to support their cham
pion. When the day of the race arrives,
several large particolored blankets are
spread upon the ground, at either side
Of which the warriors and chiefs of the
opposing tribes range themselves, while
behind are the chattering squaws, each
bearing the treasures of her liege lord.
The head chief of one side generally
makes the first bet. Silently and with
stolid countenance he steps forward and
deposits his furs and other valuables on
the blanket, often even going so far as
to add his much priced rifle to the
whole. The leader Of the other side then
places articles of a similar value beside
the first heap. A grunt or a nod. and it
is a bet. So it goes down the line, wa
gering being conducted with a gravity
that BELTS the occasion, for each tribe
knows that its opponents will bet all
they have got Even little groups of
ponies are led of to one side and bunch
ed together, and that means that the
loser will walk many a weary mile
through binding alkah dust before he
sees the tepees Of his people But there
is no haggling, no disputes, no excla
nations of surprise or chagrin at the re-
suit It is impossible as far as any out

quished. and in that respect think the

Ivory dust for jelly is sold in London
at sixpence per pound. 1t is the waste
which results from the manufacture Of
ivory into various articles, and work
ahop will accumulate, according to
amount of output, from five to six
pounds Of dust in a week. The proper
tions are one pound of dust to a quart
Of water, boiled for eight or ten hours.
The product is a clear jelly, which is
strained and favored to taste or diluted
for the purpose Of soup.
But the stock of elephant ivory is dy-
ing out; substitutes are used largely in
place Of it. There is vegetable ivory,
the seed of a low growing palm in
South America, each seed about the size
OF a hens egg, and various artificial
worries, q compound Of caoutchouc, sui
phur and some white substance, pipe
clay, gypsum or oxide of zinc, or, more
simple still, a mixture of slzimmilk
and borax, which, compressed, forms in
to a cream colored block, and may be
used in place of native African ivory,
which it closely resembles.
Thus even when the elephant becomes
as extinct as the dodo, ivory jelly may
still keep up, if not add to, its reputa
tion. London Letter.

mountain climbers in wreck one time,
and after that / quit the business cold

"You know the exploits Of the rail
road dog have been recounted in divers
places-how he saved a train and tho
lives Of the passengers from fathom-
less pit or a dark yawning abyss and all
that. Those are all stories of the rail-
roader, of which the dog is the hero of
the hour. My yarn is not like those old
stories, for pussy was too we'll trained
to do anything so rash as to save train
and thereby endanger her own life In
the first place, pnss was pet Of the
landlady where most of the railroad
men boarded, and in consequence the
cat took liking to railroading.
"She was a remarkable traveller, and
she preferred the tender Of a freight To-
connective to a Pullman palace car. When
the train would have long wait at
side track or station, Miss Puss would
descend from her perch on the pile of
coal, OF if the weather was inclement

would sit looking out ON the track be-

She was a great favorite and always had
the best the house afforded. She was a
beautiful cat. Her fur was jet black,
and when the engine was running down
the steep grades of the mountains she
would hold her place on the top Of the
tender with all the grace and dignity
and if the wind was blow
ing she would rufie up her black coat
of fur as though entering a protest.
Puss never missed trip all the time

gibus of Calais sold it to Philip " Of
Spain. Eighty thousand dollars is the
figure that it is approximated the pope's
pearl would bring. One of Leo's prede-
cessors became possessed Of it in n man
ner which has not been told, and it has
descended in regular course to the pres
ent incumbent of st. Peters throne.
This, so far as is known, exhausts the
list of truly celebrated pearls. There
are many remarkable pearl necklaces
whose value is extraordinary. These
necklaces are made up gradually, pearl
after pearl being added 10 the set, and
leading jewellers are constantly on the
lookout to procure gems Of like rarity
to extend the chain. On the whole, pink
pearls are not especially valuable, black
ones bringing far higher prices, and
pearls that are white heing sought next
after them. Queen Victoria of England
has a necklace Of pin pearls that is
worth $50, 600, and the dowager en-
press Of Germany one made If 80 pearls
which would bring easily SI25, 600.
The Rothschild women have, how
ever, gems Of this sort that far exceed
in value those Of royalty. Baroness Gus
tave de Rothschild possesses one made
up Of five rows of pearls, the whole
chain being valued at 5000, COO Bar
oness Adolphe do Rothschild owns
circlet that in all probability would
fetch even at a forced sale $3.50, O0O.
Even more brilliant, because it has
seven rows, is the necklace of the dow
ager empress Of Russia. The gems,
are not quite as fine as those
in the Rothschild collection. The cas-
ket of this royal lady is the most IA
nous in the world from a gem point Of
view. Hardly second to it is that of
the empress Of Austria, whose black
pearls are noted throughout Europe for
their extreme beauty and rarity.
What has become Of the white pearls
of the Empress Eugene, sold at the
close of the Franco-Prussian war, has
never been made known. The value Of |
these was some 500. 900, and they were
