Airy Fabrics.

Scrim is as dear as ever to the heart of the summer cottager who manages to make an upholstered little dwelling in pine wood habitable and almost luxurious. It is lace-like and dainty and costs only three and three-quarter cents yard. The art mulls are ex- quisite. They cost from eight to fifteen cents yard. Ivy leaves mean der in cool green prettiness down the lengths of some samples. Marguerites blossom in others; clovers nod and pinks sway on others. They may be had in color effects to match almost any room. Denim is as delightfully."- cheap as ever, and more delightfully."- varied in color and design. For eight cen cents yard one may purchase dull-colored esthetic looking material stamped with designs that bear striking resemblance 10 those of the expensive brocaded damask The denim is particularly desirable for di- van coverings, sofa cushions and the Hke.-Philadelphi Record.

DANGER OF MENTAL STRAIN.
Serious Disorders Resulting From Too
 Much Brain Work.

Serious Disorders Resulting From Too
 Much Brain Work.
 Intellectual work does not injure health or shorten life, but mental overwork, when associated with emo- tional strain, is often cause of nerv- ous breakdown and disease
 Health and life are sometimes lost through forgetfulness of the fact that mental strain is dangerous to those in or past middle life who attempt brain work to which they have not been ac- customed.
 If not subjected to excessive mental or physical strain, public and profes- sional men, although afflicted with or ganic diseases, may live in comfort and do a moderate amount of work for many years.
 Among physicians, lawyers and jour- nalists the performance of brain work under pressure for time and bad hygi- enic conditions, is common cause of ill health.
 Comparatively few clergymen suc- cumb completely to mental overwork, although many of them suffer from a mild, annoying form of nervous ex- haustion.
 The danger to the scientific worker usually arises from too intense and prolonged activity of the mind in one direction. It springs largely from the fascination it has for its votaries. The system of severe competitive examina- tions in many communities saps the health of teachers and pupils.
 Chronic nervous exhaustion IS not common among men prominent in pub- lie affairs and in the professions. Such men are, however, sometimes the vic tims of a severe acute nervous prostra- tion.
 The warnings of mental overwork and overstrain vary, but certain psychical symptoms and such physical symptoms as laxity or immobility of countenance, diminished resisting power, heart failure, sleeplessness, cervico-occipital pain or distress and dyspepsia are of most frequent occur renee.
 Insanity in somo forms is often de. veloped by overstrain of the nervous systems.
 Phthisis, diabetes and Bright's dis ease, next to insanity, are among the diseases most likely to be developed by mental overwork. Men in whose families phthisis is hereditary should carefully guard against such over. work
 Overtaxing the mind and nervous system may be the exciting cause ot almost any serious disorder to which chance, accident. imprudence or infec- ton exposes the individual-N. \. Ledger

Simple Remedy for Poison Ivy.

A correspondent writes: ''As many of your readers are off or going to the country, where not few are likely to become victims to the poison oak (poi- son ash and poison ivy are its aliases), tell them that the best and almost al- ways unfailing remedy is crude petro- leum as lotion. l have seen a child whose face was terribly swollen and distorted, and whose sufferings were pitiable, almost instantly relieved and kept comfortable until the infiammn- tion passed away. ."-St- Louis Re- public.

The God who taketh care of us can guard our
 loved ones, too. When we are called to go from them and pass
 deaths valley through; The everlasting arms shall beneath them
 ever be:' His love can cherish far beyond the love of you
 orme. So let us leave "the times" with Him, nor mur-
 mur when He calls, But trust the Hand. from out whose grasp the
 restful mantle falls Perchance lifes best fulfllment comes when
 life's brief span is OCT, Perchance mothers voice of love, when
 heard on earth no more, May echo with sweeter tone and have a
 deeper power, Though only with an angels breath. 1t comes
 at midnight's hour. We leave 1t, Father. all with Thee: do Thy
 way; that is best: But grant that seeds our hands now SOW may grow when they're at rest.

'REST CITY, ARK. FRIDAY AFTERNOON, AUGUST 9, 1s95

gone. It'll take two men two days to plant this field, so I guess I won't goi | fishing next week.
 Wonderful head for business my fa- ther had! Wonderful I went to dropping and covering 'taters and had planted about half of one row, when a bear about as big as a shepherd dog 1 appeared suddenly before me- It. | scooped out hole in the ground with its paws, then went on three feet and scooped out another one, straight ahead, and right in the 'tater row. While was wondering yet what the sassy young cub was trying to get through him, I felt myself pushed from behind. The push sent me pretty near stumbling to the ground and past the first hole the cub had dug. I had some seed 'taters in my hand and some of it dropped out and fell in the hole. l looked behind me to see who was pushing me, and there saw another bear, the same size of the first one. This one had come forward and was covering dIrt over the 'tater seed had 1 dropped in the hole. I looked ahead at the other bear, and he was working away, digging holes, regular and straight along that row. We'll, I I wasn't quite fool, and so 1 said
 'Ho, ho. 1 see! These are the two cubs saved from the panther when they were babes in arms, so to speak. And they have come to give me a lift in my 'tater planting, to show their gratitude"
 And went to dropping 'taters in the hole the one bear dug and the other bear came along after me and covered 'em as slick and proper as I would have done it with hoe! There wasn't word said. l followed the hole-digging bear right on his heels and dropped 'taters, and the other bear followed close on my heels and covered 'em, and the combination worked so amazing wellthat by three o'clock in the afternoon that whoIe field was planted, and planted better than it had ever been planted beforel When the last hole was dug and the last 'tater dropped and covered, the two bears trotted back to the woods, and I don't know that l ever saw them again. I hadn't been home long when father came in from fishing. His luck had been poor and he felt a little testy.
 "'Never mind, father said I. I'm going fishing for week, and I'll fetch in some.'
 Fishing for weekr said father.
 "'Yes,' said I. I finished planting the three-acre 'tater field to-day
 Father looked so scared that told him the whole story. After he heard it he said:
 "'Praxiteles, they may tie the old Sinnemahone one of these days, but they'll never beat herr
 And so l say, honestly, that feel sorry for this side of the mountain every time I come over from Sinnema- honing way! l do, really. I do, in- deed!'
 ''Sinnemahone" said the man in the red, blue, green, pink, purple and yell low Mackinaw jacket, If you felt half as sorry as this slde O the mountain does you'd go and shed tears with more salt in 'em than there is in bar'l O brine!'-Ed Mott, in N. I. Sun.

ELKHART, Ind, July 5.-There have
been no new developments in the bridge

east of here, last night. Many of the I'M
fortunates are still in a serious condition.
and several deaths are expected. DIR. c.. K.
Dutrow, whose spine was injured by his
fall on the stones near the edge of the
water, and Mrs. Miller, with both legs
broken above the knees, are considered the
worst sufferers. There are several in
stances of internal injuries that are ex-
pected to occasion trouble. Forty-five were
injured. twenty-five of them seriously. In
a majority of instances those who fell in
the water escaped with slight or no injury,
the south abutment and the edge of the
water were badly injured In every instance.
In DR.. Barbour's office, at one time
lay Frank Replogie, with a broken arm
and injured back; his wife, with a broken
arm and bad bruises; their little daughter,
with a broken ARM, and their son, with a
badly injured head. David Cox and his two
daughters, who went into the water to-
gether, escaped without any injuries what
ever. aside from a shaking up and a duck

them at least would have been crushed by

saw the impending catastrophe and saved
himself by springing from his tub and div

in the river was lew or there would have
been many deaths from drowning Already

Judge Stubbs Releases a Prisoner and
!. SCORES the Police.
= Judge Stubbss has always had a kindly
feeling for those who. come before him
whom he thinks are law volators through
ignorance or because OF inability TO comply
with laws. Many such cases are violators
of license laws. Peddlers often come before
him where the evidence goes to show that
they are honest, but are simply so poor
that they cannot scrape together enough
money to buy a license. In such cases his
punishment is always tempered with justice
to his felow-man and he has often said
that he would resign his position ifihe were
compelled TO punish all persons who are
technically guilty of some attraction of the
law.
Yesterday Z. c. Jones. a man of about
seventy years, was before the Judge,
charged with allowing his old horse to run
at large. Jones lives on Fletcher avenue,
almost outside of the city. The offense
consisted in allowing his horse TO Craze on
one OF the many. vacant lots in the neigh
borhood. because the old man Is too poor
to afford to buy as much feed as the animal
costs to comply with the law and then re-
mitted the fine. In doing so he took occa-
sion to score the members of the police
force who are in the habit of making ar
rests for every technical violation of the
law. He said:
There seems to be an effort to prosecute
the poor people In some parts OF the city
for every little petty offense, and I am not
going to uphold it, 1 am compelled to fine
and will remit the amount. You may go,

INSURANCE pILING UP.
Now Known that Young Myers Had
Joined Four Orders.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.

SPc~ioi " thc AhuidioPohS JOuTudi.
ELWOOD. Ind, july 5.-Interest in the
empty coffin mystery concerning the
death and burial of Thomas Myers. of this
city. at Clifford, Bartholomew county, is
on the increase. DR.. II. "A. Cox and A. F.
Burnett, of this city. who are mixed up in,
the affair, returned here last night, and
are taking matters easy. They assert that
Myers died and was buried, and that the
grave was simply robbed. and that plenty
of proof of his death can be had at Gem,
Hancock county. The Forresters' officers
have returned from an investigation of the
matter, but absolutely refuse TO be inter-
viewed or. tell what they ascertained, but
are keeping their own counsel. and will
make their report at the special meeting Of
the lodge Monday might next. 1t has been
discovered that Myers was a member Of
the following orders, in which he took out
the full amount of insurance allowed For
roster, 5000: Equitable Aid. 81. $50; A. o.
L.. w, 1000: knights of Maccabees, hav-
ing made application for a three-thousand-
dollar policy, but il had not been acted on.
II is rumored that all of these were pay
able TO Dr.. Cox. Non OF the policies has
vet been turned over TO him. All of these
lodges have taken steps to protect them
selves, and the insurance will not be paid.
Many believe that Myers is dead. and that
medical students robbed the grave. while
others believe he is in hiding somewhere.
The matter will be thoroughly investigated.
and Monday nights meeting of the For
rosters may ~inaugurate a sensation.

A BIT OF GOOD ADVICE

You've often heard a said that Nothing
succeeds like success" and a great many
people believe Il. But there is another say
ing Just as trite. but more true. and it's
this, THAT nosling so demoraiizes as de-
moraIization ITSELF and this enforces what
we want to say: that when ones liver Is
demoraiized. sluggish or diseased. then the
whole body Is out OF gear-sick all over
and everything goes wrong; nothing goes
right. And one may be sure no success
will follow efforts in any direction. There
is a lack OF energy and perseverance OF ef.
fort. although the purpose to do may Be
ever so determined. This condition OF body
and mind Is often attributed To malaria In
the system, but the truth Is that the liver
is torpid. and the whole system is sluggish.
At such times many people take quinine,
which Is strongly tonic, but the cause. stu
remains and continues its miscief. But
when you take a liver remedy like Simmons

sickness, but tone up and strengthen the
whole system. Try IL once and note the
effect. The great mass OF people would be
much better OFF IL they would take an oc-
casional dose OF Simmons Liver Regulator
than all the topics put together. IL is The
best life insurance policy one could invest IN.
