Indicate as surely as any physical symp-
tom shows anything, that the organs
and tissues of the body are not satisfied
with their nourishment.
They draw their sustenance from the
blood, and if the blood is thin, impure,
or insufficient, they are in state OF re-
volt. 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 explana-
ton 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. Ner-
vousness 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-
-illa. Read the next column.

ENGLAND AND FRANCE.

More Trouble About African Possessions.
LONDON. April A statement in
the house of commons by the parlia-
mentary secretary of the foreign office,
from notes written by the earl of
Kimberly, secretary of state for foreign
affairs, said the advance of the French
into the territory Of the upper Nile
valley, belonging to the Royal Niger
Company, therefore under British pro-
lection, would be an unfriendly act,
and it was well known to France that
Great Britain would SO regard it. This
is causing a profound sensation in Eng
land and on the continent, asathe re-
vealing of extremely critical relations
between France and Great Britain.
Labouchere pronounced it quasi
declaration of war.

The destruction by fire in New York
of nearly all the scientific apparatus
of Nicolas Tesla, the famous electrician,
involves loss which cannot be meas
ured by dollars and cents. Tesla had
searched deep into natures secrets; he
had made many bold and startling ex-
periments, and there were scientists
and students who firmly believed that
he was almost on the point of making
marvellous discoveries in electric laws.
It is a matter of regret that the result
of years of patient and untiring labor
should be thus wiped out, and yet the
votaries Of science and research are
rarely discouraged by failure and dis
aster. Equally as great a calamity did
not keep back the discoveries of Sir
Isaac Newton; this blow will only tenn
porarily disable Tesla.

Speech by A. j. Balfour, Conservative
Leader in the House.
LONDON, April 5.-The annual meet
ing of the bimetallic league was held
at the Mansion House, the official
residence of the lord mayor of London.
Sir Joseph Dimsdale presided. The
Right Hon. A. J. Balfour, conservative
leader in the house of commons. made
strong speech in favor of double
standard. He said that the belief in
bimetallism was growing, not only in
London and elsewhere in Great Britain,
but throughout the civilized world.
One great change was noticeable. 1t
was seldom now asserted that bimetal
ism was intrinsically impossible.
Formerly bimetallist was regarded
as a dangerous faddist.

3 The thoughtlessness with which peo-
pie rush after divorces without serious
cause is illustrated by case at Ma
con, Ga. A Mrs. Ward brought suit
for divorce and 1t was granted. Going
home from court she met Mr.. Ward,
and was so sorry for him in his lonely
condition that she sent for the preacher
and they were remarked. When two
people can be divorced and remarked
on the same day, it is evident that they
had little cause for the separation, and
would never nave seriously thought of
it but for the ease with which divorces
are secured.

Dies MONIES, April 3.-The supreme

member of the court, Judge L. G.

law is clearly unconstitutional.
The decision will settle all the cases
pending. The law has been sustained
in every particular in every case that
has been brought up from the lower

pending in the supreme court is
whether the county auditor is the sole
judge of the petition or statement of
