Among all the structures that
make up the human body, the
nerves have been until recently the
least understood.
The role Of the nerves in the d.
gestion and assimilation of food is a
highly important one. The question
whether the food shall nourish or
become a mere load upon the system
is question of nerve force.
Neglect to satisfy the demands
made by the nervous system carries
heavy penalties. When this nervous
force Is exhausted the digestive
processes are INSTRUCTED, the body is
weakened and pains of neuralgia, in
digestion, rheumatism, invade its
parts. During repose the nerves and
great nerve centers feed upon the
nutritive material that is stored in
blood and tissues. 1t is when this
supply of nourshment is prompt and
abundant that the nervous system is
able to rccuperate, but when the
system has become too tired to APP
propriate sufficient nourishment and
the nerves too shaky to get the rest
they need, that best Of all blood
purifiers, nerve foods, and nerve reg
ulators, Paine's celery compound,
should be given at once.
Paine's celery compound has
brought health, strength, and free
dom from nervous weakness to thous-
ands of tired women, "run down"
men, and sickly children. 1t makes
them able to sleep soundly, to digest
their food perfectly, and to win back
health and strength. The tired brain
and nerves are rebuilt and their
wasted parts repaired during sleep
and where nervousness, irritability,
and inadequate nutrition Of the
nerve ccnters do not permit sufficient
Abilene weekly reflector. [volume] (Abilene, Kan.) 1888-1935, 1895-05-23

sleep, nervous prostration, lassitudc
and dependency are sure to follow.
Paine's celery compound guards
against all this by promptly feeding
the exhausted nerves and making the
blood pure, abundant and nourishing.
1t cures neuralgia, rheumatism,
dyspepsia, all forms of nervous weak
ness, dependency, skin diseases, and
affections of the heart, liver and
kidneys. 1t sends pure, vitalized
blood to every organ, and thus makes
people well. Paine's celery COM
pound has found its way originally
through prescriptions by phyicians,
into every city and smallest village
in the country
1t would be very difficult to find a
man or woman Of mature age who has
not either been helped by this re-
markable remedy or has heard of its
marvellous properties at first hand
from some enthusiastic friend or
relative.
Paine's celery compound is the
only great popular remedy that
physicians of every school prescribe
for disorders of the blood and nerves.
Says Mrs. Kate Manuel, 2l6l Sd

For They believe In 1870 Frightfui and
Separate Divisions OF the Lower World.
It is mystery to enlightened west
crn nations how the lIndoos ever man
aged to evolve such a frightfully exag-
gcrated idea Of hcll--as much OF an
enigma, perhaps, as our fantastic ideas
of the Internal regions will be to the
more enlightened races of the coming
ages. The lIindoos believe In a plu-
rality Of bells, one hundred and thirty
six in all. This gigantic apartment
house, which has been especially pre-
pared for The souls Of the damned, is Of
unthnlIablc length and breadth, and
has walls moro than one hundred miles
in thickness. The intense heat of the
interior keeps these walls at white
heat, and through their many loopholes
shines light of such intense brightness
that IL bursts the cyeballs of all who
look In that direction, ''even though
they be removed from the fires by dis
lance Of four hundred leagues"
As each soul Is taken from one apart
mcnt to the other 1t is invariably met
by YamalI. the IIindoo Plato, an cx-
aggeintcd devil two hundred and forty
miles high, who has hairs on his body
which stand out like palm trees. In
each of these subdivisions the tortured
one is treated to something new and
unique in the line Of misery. In one
he has his toe and finger nails plucked
out, and the empty sockets which form
erly held his eyes filed with melted
wax, and then has horns inserted In
the places which in other days were oc.
cupied by the organs Of vision. In an
other be Is forced to have his teeth
pulled and heated to white heat, and
Is then compelled to swallow them,
along with large quantities Of pepper
cakes and boiling oil.

night when we left Tullahoms. And
such q night Aperfect torrent Of rain
was falling, and 1t was too dark to see
each other as we crouched low In the
tender, expecting we knew not what
every minute. We had no headlight,
and our onward way was lighted only
by an occasional glare Of lightning.
We fairly few over those rusty old
rails, which had been so long without
the trackman's carel Would we get
safely through Would the equity old
engine cling to the track9 Would the
guerrillas, knowing she went down in
the morning, be on the lookout for our
return at night9 Terrible was the sus-
pense. Did they now hear the rumble
and rattle Of our wheels, and were
they waiting for us down there In the
darkness, with rail out Of the track,
a wedge In frog, or . tie dashed across
the rails9
On, on, onl Who ever rode 30 fast be-
fore9 Ever and again the engineer
gave the rusty old throttle another
jerk outward, and the rheumatic old
machine would take even faster pace.
Those Of US who had seldom II ever
given a thought to what the future
had In store for us, now had serious
reflections; and lips that had not for
long spoken much else than idle words
found themselves framing whispered
appeals toahigher, stronger something
for help and protection.
Whether that had anything to do
with our safe passage or not we could
not say. All that we knew was that
the run was over, and that no harm
had befallen u.s. It was not very long,
however, We presume, till the Jokes
and jests came back, and prayers were
left unsaid till other times Of need and
peril called them up TO the lips. M. B.

DO you SO love him that you could

OF whose engagement she had just

enough TO live with him." was the bright
reply. The following story is Of an
Irish lass whose love enabled her not
only to live in the lonely Chicago light
house, but to save her husband at the
expense Of great suffering. This Chica-
go light Is at place called the Crib,
two miles out in the lake, and sur
mounts the massive masonry at the en-
trance to the tunnel, which receives
the water supply Of the city.
One day In the early winter, says the
Youths Companion, the keeper was
obliged to go on shore for supplies. A
sudden storm prevented his immediate
return, but he had no fear that the
lights would be allowed to go out in his
absence. Two or three days later,
when the tempest had absted, though
the sea still ran high, he made his way
toward home ss best he could.
His wife was ready at the window Of
the tower, and drew up his little cargo
with rope, which she lowered again
for him. Just at that moment his boat
was swept out from under his feet.
Slowly and more slowly he was drawn
up, till finally he was at tho windows
edge-and then gust Of wind struck
him and tossed h i'm back into the surg
Ing waters
Again the rope was thrown him, and
after little he clutched It, and again
up the side Of that stone tower pain
fully and slowly did the little woman
draw her husband, tossed back and
forth by the wind.
Again he reached the window--a
long, strong pull and he was safe. AS
no climbed into the room his wife faint
ed away, and he found her clothes worn
through, where she had braced her
knees against the stone wall; her we'd
ding ring was gone; her left arm was
torn at the elbow.
When she came to herself, and they
could talk together, she explained that
when he fell her ring was pulled from
her finger and her arm wounded.

that was no time to faint, and ~ |

A WILD NioHT RIDE.



Nsvsr-to- Be- forgotten Experience Of Some
OF the Ninstesath Michigan.
My regiment lay at McMinnville,
Tenn, six months during the fall,
winter and spring Of lSo3-e4. The only
railroad reaching the place was little
spur about forty miles in length from
Tullahoma. The frequent raids
through that region by both blue and
gray had reduced its various bridges to
heaps Of ashes and twisted iron. de-
rallied It's cars and dismantled Its en-
gines The men Of company X, whose
captain was my honored old father,
had replaced one Of the bridges nearest
the town, and the men Of company d,
In which there was an expert locomo-
tive engineer, got the old engine up
out Of the ditch and put her into run
ming order. Two or three box cars
werc also righted up, placed upon their
tracks, and fitted up as travelling stock
AIDES, with loop-holes for muskets
In this way we opened communica-
lions with the outer world, and one
morning party Of us started out with
an armed guard for Tullahoma. The
old scrap-heap Of an engine stopping
occasionally to have screw turned up,
or a nut adjusted, went wheeling
groaning and putting along.
The writer had been detailed to go to
Murfreesboro for the mail, which had
been accommodating there, for the regi-
ment Returning to Tullahoma that
evening he found the engine steamed
up waiting the return trip. OF the ride
he will say in advance that though he
has since been connected more or less
with the railroads and their operation,
never has he had so wild ride as on
that night through a country infested
by gentlemen adverse to our occupancy.
II must have been about nine o'clock at
