But the puzzle is easily solved. There

ingtonian craze almost as violent as
the Napoleonic craze in our land. 10
he sure. the Napoleonic craze is an
importation, and it may be that Amer
lea will shortly be in the peculiar posi-
ton of importing Washingtonian
craze. Be that as it may. the fact re-
mains that in Paris and in St. Peters
burg the Washington mania has
reached an acute stage. Figaro, IN
deed, is poling fun at it in the gay cap
ital. and asserts that the enterprise IS
intended to rival the fad now in its
last stages that made q diety of the

In explaining the origin of the craze
that is playing havoc with the Napo-
leonic fad, it is necessary 20 dwell upon
the fact that the first families OF
France, the old nobility as distin-
guished from the aristocracy of the
empire and the republic, take great
pride in the fact that they alone took
up the gauntlet for our independence.
This pride has nothing to do with any
love for America or for liberty. 1t is

The Unexpected Discharge of

Close by would not have more dis
turbing effect upon nerves which are
vigorous than ordinary noise upon those
that are weak and unstrung. AS nerv-
inc, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is un-
rivalled. By promoting digestion and
assimilation they overcome that gastric
disorder which is the most prolific cause
of nervous debility, and which, SO long as
it exists, defeats in large measure the &C.
tion of sedatives and opiates. Such re-
NEEDLES, moreover, necessitate the use of
increasing doses, and finally cease to act
altogether, except in dangerous quantities.
They never reach the fountain head of
the trouble, and quiet the nerves only by
semi-paralyzing them. Equally OBJ
jectionable are fiery unmedicated alcoholic
stimulants. Kidney, bladder and liver
trouble, malaria, constipation and rheu-
matism are relieved by the Bitters,
which also promote appetite and nightly
