There are many cases in Scranton
whom it has cured Of serious illness.
Paine's celery compound is the one
specific for those nervous disorders, in
digestion, neuralgia and rheumatism,
for heart trouble, lassitude, sleepless-
ness, from which men and women in
this climate too generally suffer.
1t cures not only speedily but per-
manently. 1t supplies the nerves with
food; 1t makes new blood; It removes
the cause of disease. Mrs. II. G..
Danolds, of Rochester, N. Y, whose
portrait is given above, writes thus of
her experience:
Last spring." she says, II had a
severe attack of muscular rheumatism.
AT first l used a deal of liniment, which
gave me some relief. but it finally set
tied in my feet, making me hobbling
cripple. l then began using Paine
celery compound and the second bottle
cured me completely, SO now / am a
walking advertisement and recon-
mend Paines celery compound most
cheerfully. / can heartily recommend
it, as an invaluable remedy, to all who
are afflicted, and shall always keep it in
the house to use in case of need"
Testimonials might be published by
hundreds. They all go to show that for
any of those complaints that arise from
an impaired nervous system or impure
blood Paines celery compound should
invariably be taken-for it makes peo-
pie well.

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, Jan. 17.-While speculation
at the Stock exchange was quiet today the
undertone of the market was stronger
than for a long time past. Prices Were
higher all around and the prominent Is
sues made gains of 4 to II per cent. The
Vanderbilts, however, displayed the great
est strength and sold at the best figures
for long time past. Lake Shore rose to
40, New York Central to l0Ols Michigan
Central to 96 bid. The strength of these
stocks had a good effect and led to some
moderate buying for the long account.
Manhattan was quite feature and rose
to 1878. The industrials were less prom
inent in the dealings. Near the close
Chicago Gas rallied to 725s. Sugar, Lead,
Cordage and the other industrials We're
quiet. The market closed firm and Il to
lla per cent. higher on the day. Lake
Erie and Western preferred rose q To-
tai sales, 1889 shares.

BAALBEC'S RUINS.
They Are the Grandest Monuments of the
Past In the Orient.

1aSb IN bne OrleAts
The ruins of Baalbec, the ancient
metropolis of Syria, especially those on
the platform where the temples stood,
are the grandest in the orient The
platform referred to above and upon
which the largest of the famous Baalbec
temples were erected is an artificial
mound about 80 feet higher than the
surrounding plain, which gave room for
immense vaults under the gigantic
structures which in ancient times graced
the wonderful city of the east. F"
ga good idea of the immensity of
these ruined temples may be gained
when it is known that there are several
stones in what remains of their founda-
tions which are SO feet long, Is feet
wide and 13 feet thick, and what is
still more remarkable some of these
giant blocks of limestone were raised to
height of 20 feet from the ground.
Three temples formerly stood upon the
artificial platform-the Temple of the
Sun, the Temple of Jupiter and the
great circular temple. The first was 800
feet long by 160 broad and was sur
rounded by Corinthian columns of gram
ite rs feet high and feet 3 inches in
diameter Six only of these immense
columns now remain standing. The
ruins of the Temple of Jupiter stand on
q portion of the artificial mound some
10 feet lower than that upon which
those of the Temple of the Sun are now
scattered about. Its dimensions were
originally $50 by 1870. The circular
ruin, almost as imposing as either of
the two whose dimensions are given
above, is supposed to have been the
chief seat of the sun worshipers of very
ancient times The gigantic blocks Of
stone which contributed toward forming
the graceful outlines of this once most
famous circular temple were SO scatter
ed about by the earthquakes of S22, 975
and 1859 that its dimensions in feet
cannot be accurately given. These three
temples and the platform upon which
they were erected were once surrounded
by wall which was wonder within
itself, many of the separate blocks which
formed it being 30 feet long, Is feet
wide and 12 feet thick. '-St. Louis Re-

Moons Eject on Peas and Beans.

In the works of most old authors who
have written on the subject of agricul-
ture, or astrology as it is supposed to
affect agriculture, frequent illusions are
made to the influence of the moon on
the growth of plants. In all these books
the husbandman is especially cautioned
to sow seed of certain kind during the
increase of the moon. and those of an
other kind during It's decrease. Peas
and beans We're accorded their share of
this superstition, the careful gardener
being especially admonished never to
SOW such crops during the period be-
tween new and full moon
Sir Anthony Fitz Herbert says, "Take
special care to sow your pease in the
'old' of the moon. cause then they will
codd better and be sooner ripe. -
Thomas Tusser writes to the same
effect when he says;
Sow peas or beans in the wane of the moon;
Who soweth them sooner, he soweth too soon;
That they with the planet may rest and rise,
And flourish with bearing most plentiful wise.

MARRIAGE IN KOREA.
A Simple Ceremony, but With 1t Comes
the Dignity of Manhood.


Korean girls, according to Mr.. II. S.
Saunderson, after enjoying freedom till
they are years old, are consigned to
the women S quarters, where they live
in seclusion till they are married at 16
or II years. After marriage the woman
is allowed to see no man but her hus-
band. The boys, on the other hand, are
taught that it is undignified for them to
enter the women's part of the house.
They never see their brides till the we'd
ding day, all having been arranged for
them, often when both bride and groom
are infants.
The marriage ceremony is very sim
pie. The bride and bridegroom invite
their most intimate friends to assist
them in dressing their hair in the man.

bridegroom mounts a white pony, which
is led by two servants, while two others
on either side support the rider in his
saddle. Thus he proceeds to the BRIDES
house, accompanied by his relatives. At
their destination they find pavilion
erected in the courtyard of the house, in
which the bride and her relatives are
awaiting their arrival. A goose lthe

bridegroom brings with him, is then
