and reared in California, and am not only Il
native son oy nature, but one by profession.
For the last i've years l have lived in Sacra-
mento County and up to about one year ago
1 enjoyed good health. At that time con-
tracted a very severe cold, with malarial
fever This ended in bad case OF catarrh
and bronchitis. My catarrh caused constant
headache and violent cough and pain in my
chest, with dryness of the nose and throat,
and at times dropping into my throat OF
offensive mucous.
1 suffered great deal with Indigestion and
had pain and boating OF my stomach after
eating even the iightest food.
AL times I had severe spells OF neuralgia
and rheumatism, which caused me to have
severe pains in my head, back and limbs [
WAS very nervous and could not sleep. l had
no appetite and lost flesh until l got into q
very weak condition. [ took q great many
kinds of medicines, and did every thing [
could to get better. I went TO the springs
and staid there for several months. but it all
seemed to do me good. then went to
Sacramento to consult q doctor about my
condition, as I became alarmed for fear
never would yet well. Some OF the merchants
whom I asked told me there were a great
ical Institute. l took their advice and went
to these doctors and put myself under their
treatment. L soon began to improve and have
continued. and now after three months treat
ment, l have been entirely cured and am a
we'll man again, and l take great pleasure in
giving this statement to DR.. Neagle to pub

FOR THE WOMAN OYObIST.
A New Rig With New Kind of Skirt
just Fashioned,

EdSuiOu6us
That moment of dismounting from the
bicycle has always been the most trying
one to the fair cyclist, who, recognizing
the appropriateness of her costume while
astride her silent steed realizes that il is
unconventional for the promenade home.
A ladies' tailor of Manchester, England,
comes to the rescue with what he believes
is the cycling gown of the future The
bloOmers in the opinion of many ad-
vanced women will never come into gen.
eral favor. The woman with pretty
ankle and a calf that looks we'll in leg
gings Is enthusiastic over the skirt and
knickerbockers. and predicts the day
when dragging skirts will be hideous
memory like the hoop skirt. That may
be. but in the mean time there are women
who dream OF being up to date so far as
bicycle riding is concerned, but do not
want to be ahead of the times in their
street attire.
The illustration shows the Manchester
tailor's idea of bloomer girl on wheels,
a modestly dressed lady when aioot. The
skirt when riding is slipped over the
shoulders, being divided by button line
and gracefully draped until it looks like
loosely hanging military jacket When
the wearer dlsmOunts, the skirt, simply
unbuttoning from the supports, falls to
the ankles. 1t is then buttoned in it's
length, and walking skirt OF normal
appearance is the result.
This costume is made in either tweed
or serge. The novelty is in the skirt en-
tirely, and the women may suit their own
tastes in the matter Of jackets, basque or
drapery of the torso.
The costume is sure to come into favor
among women given to suburban tours.
While ou the road the freedom and safety
of the bloomers is desired. When on
lawn or piazza. in church, dining-roo
or parIOr. the modest and unob.rusive
walking skirt is wanted. And here they
are com mbined.-New Y York World.

For the RECoRD-UNIoN.l
LINES SENT WITH A ROSE.

1 plucked rose with thorn beside,
And said TO them each: "What dost thou
show?"
and the bloom made answer, it signided
The fair hope that every swain should know.
But the hard thorn said, as 1t hollowly
coughed,
And shrunk down hind Its poisoned horn:
al am Despair. and I'll prick thee oft ~
l send the rose, love; shall keep the thorn ?

Appendicitis Outwitted.


Gardeners are trying so hard to get rid
of seeds in fruit that in few years per-
son could not have appendicitis if he
tried. Already We have seedless, or
navel, oranges.
Some varieties of apples have been pro-
duced that have almost no seeds. They
are abnormalities. Sometimes they are
called 'bloomless," because the blossoms
have no petals, and in some cases Lack
sLamens.
Raisin producers in California are try
ing to obtain seedless grapes for raisins.
The famous seedless grapes of Corinth
are called currants.
The banana is seedless and has been so
for centuries. though nobody knows why.
1t is modified berry; cutting the middle
you will sometimes see little brown spots
which are rudimentary seeds.
The pineapple is nearly seedless, and is
propagated from slips. The eggplant is
occasionally seedless.
Horticulturists are also endeavoring to
rid fruit of thorns. Some oranges and
lemons are very thorny. Efforts are be-
ing made to get rid of the thorns on rasp-
berry and blackberry plants simply for
convenience in picking. The thorns are
intended by nature to protect the plants
from animals.-Atlanta Constitution.

TO Broad street. instead of stopping them
at Clay as now. is being seriously aSi-
tated. II this idea is carried out, as we
hope Il will be, IL will result in great con-
venlence TO our patrons who live on the
Heights Then in bad weather they could
take the cars near the stores. instead OF
having to go two squares through mud
and rain or what not. and then
stand and wait for their car. The

profit whatever from this extension, but
its managers are willing TO go to the
