IF there is any truth in the saying that
bappiness is the absence of all pain, men,
tai and physical, the enjoyment OF it can
onlv be fouHd in heaven. But so far as the
phvsical is concerned, it is within easy
reach; at least measurably SO, as far as
cure will go. The sum Of human misery in
orees of physical suffering. The minor
aches and pains which affiict mankind are
easy to reach and as easily cured. There
are none in the whole category, which, if
taken in time, cannot be cured. They
must in some form atfiict the nerves, the
bones, the muscles and joints of the
human body. They are all more or less

HILLS NEW MOVE.
Rumor That the New York Senator Is
About to Be Married.

Rumor That the New York Senator Is
About to Be Married.
Senator Hill has set all his friends
and enemies to guessing again by CIV
ing up his hotel lodgings, which he has
occupied ever since coming to Washing
ton, and renting big house in one of
the most fashionable parts of the city.
There is nobody here to speak for Hill,
and so it is all matter Of conjecture
what his future course will be. The
leasing of the house naturally gives rise
to the rumor that he is to bring a bride
to Washington at the opening of the ses
sion of congress, but no one in Washing
ton appears to have information on this
point. Indeed Senator Hill is always
mystery to everybody and gives little
advance information about his plans,
either Of public or private nature.
It has been announced in the newspa-
pers that he will commence lecture
tour in Chicago few days after the
opening of congress, but there is no
confirmation Of that announcement OBJ
tainable in Washington. Whether he is
to be married or not and whether he is
to be present when congress meets are
questions that his best friends in Wash
ington cannot answer. The house that
Senator Hill has leased is on the west
side Of Lafayette square, within stones
throw of the front door of the White
House and directly across the park from
the new opera house erected on the site
of the historic mansion in which James
G. Blaine lived and died. The house
was built and for some time occupied
by Major Rathbone, who occupied the
box at the theater with President Lin
coin and family ON the night Lincoln
was killed. Since that time it has been
used alternately as boarding house
and private residence. Its latest tenant
was Senator Dolph, an old friend of
Senator Hill, who frequently dined
there with his Republican colleague

1t Sticks In His Frog and With the Aid
of Small Stone LANES Him.
A horse belonging to John Brady, a
Flatbush, N. Y, teamster, who has been
employed hauling earth from the street
excavations on the Vanderveer farm in
Flatbush, was noticed to be lame on
Tuesday. Brady took the animal to a
blacksmith's shop. There it was found
that driven into the frog was small,
round stone, and when that was re-
moved what appeared to be a copper
coin dropped out. A little rubbing
frightened up the coin, which proved to
be guinea bearing the head of King
George II and the date 1859. 1t was in
excellent condition.
Mr.. Brady gave it to Henry A. Meyer
Of the Vanderveer farm property, and
he will wear it as watch charm.
The horse is supposed to have picked
the guinea up in the loosened earth of
the excavation in the neighborhood of
East Twenty-ninth street and Avenue
@, Oh the farm property. This is the
third coin that has been found there.
The British soldiery occupied the farm
just before the battle of Long Island,
and it is coincidence that the guinea
was found within few feet of the not

Religion and Business.

In order to bring the religious and
business interests of the community into
more hearty sympathy and co-opera
ton, some of the churches and many of
the business men of Minneapolis have
arranged for a series of Sunday evening
meetings to be addressed by prominent
men of that municipality who are not
clergymen. The theory out of which this
arrangement has sprung is, we suppose,
that business ought to be conducted on
religious principles, and that there is
need of sound business principles in
prosecuting much of the work of reli
gious bodies There is no natural an
tagonism between business and religion,
and the promotion of cordial relations
between the business and religious in
terests of city cannot be undesirable

Conan Doyle on Cycling.

Conan Doyle, who is an enthusiast ON
cycling, says in Demorest's Magazine:
"When the spirits are low, when the
day appears dark, when work becomes
monotonous, when hopes seem hardly
worth having, just mount a bicycle and
go for good spin down the road, with
out thought of anything but the ride
you are taking. l have myself ridden
the bicycle most during my practice as
a physician and during my work in let
tiers. In tho morning or the afternoon,
before or after work, as the mood DER
takes me, mount the wheel and am off
for spin Of few miles up OR down
the road from my country place. I can
only speak words of praise for the BIZ
cycle. -

SAVED OVER A MILLION.
Secretary Morton's Record For Year OF
Economy.

Secretary Morton's Record For q Year oil
Economy.
The report Of the secretary of agrlcul-
ture for 1895 has been submitted to the
president. 1t is volume of GA printed
pages, devoting considerable space to
matters of meat inspection and to for
eign markets for American meat prod
ucts, including the inspection OF ami
mails for export trade. Among the items
of economy it shows that the $3.50, 900
appropriated by the Fifty-third congress
for the purchase and distribution OF
seeds this year is entirely intact, and
consequently not drawn from the treas
ury of the United States.
The total amount remaining unex-
pended out of the appropriations for the
years 1898, 1894, 1895 aggregates ST.
800, 900 available for return into the
treasury. Of this sum, however, 81
10000 has been saved in 1894 and
1895 out of appropriations slightly ex-
ceeding $4,000, 600 for the two years.
The point is made that while the saving
of 81, 800, 900 may attract but little COM
mendation, yet in the best counties in
the Union it would be difficult to find
1900 farmers who have together earned
and saved as much in the same time.
Farmers pay the most taxes on their
property" says the secretary, "and are
especially interested in an economical
and judicious management of the gov
eminent. Governments are born with
out money, and never get any except by
taxing their citizens. That tax is paid
for protection to property, life and lib
erty, and no class can legitimately de-
mand the expenditure of public funds
for any other purpose than that for
which they were taken from the people. y
1t also appears from the secretary's
report that the appropriation for the
department for 1895 was more than
800, 900 less than the appropriation for
1894, and yet it was $1S3, 900 more that
the amount estimated for by the depart
ment. -Washington Post.

They Want to Smash Our Records.

English railroads have been stirred up
by the recent feats of the New York
Central and Lake Shore roads. They are
now preparing to beat all records next
year. The Midland railway, which took
no part in the race to the north last
summer, is building an engine at Derby
that will be able to run from London to
Sheffield and thence to Carlisle without
stopping. The Great Northern is i'm
proving it's tenders so as to make an un-
broken run to York, and the London and
Northwestern is substituting bogies for
its compound engines. They all declare
they will reach Manchester in three
hours and half or quarter from Lon
don, instead Of four and half hours. -

Strange, But True, Story From the
Lumber Regions of q Southern State
Verified by Reporter of the
GreenviIle Reflector.
The following interview has just
been given our reporter by Mr.. u. A.
Baker, the overseer at the farm OF Colo
mel Isaac A. Sugg, of Greenville, N.
G. 1t will interest anyone who has
ever had typhoid fever. Mr.. Baker
said in part:
"I was living in Beaufort county,
and on the I'd day of October, 1898,
| was stricken down with typhoid
fever. l had the best physicians to at
tend me and on the 10Th day of Janu-
airy, 1894, I was allowed to get up. l
was emaciated, weak and had no appe-
tite. I could only drag along for a
short distance and would be compelled
to sit down and rest. This continued
for some time, and began to give up
hope of ever getting we'll. 1 lost my
position in Beaufort county, and, hav-
ing secured one in Pitt county, clerk
ing in a store, I undertook it, but was
so weak could not do the work and
had to give it up. The disease settled
in my knees, legs and feet. Twas TAX
ing first one kind of medicine and then
another, but nothing did me any good.
l was mighty low-spirited. l moved
out to Colonel Sugg's about four or five
months ago and commenced taking
DIR. Williams Pills. 1 took three a
day for about three months. I began
to regain my appetite in week s time,
and then my weakness began to disap-
pear, and hope sprung up with bless
edness that is beyond all telling. At
the expiration of the three months l
was entirely cured and could take my
axe and go in the woods and do as good
days work as any man. l was
troubled with dyspepsia and that has
disappeared. 1t is also splendid tonic
for weak people. I say, Mr.. Editor,
God bless DR.. Williams; may he live
for long time; l know he will go up
yonder to reap his reward for he has
done wonderful lot of good. Tell
everybody that asks you about DIR.

By local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure Deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inf1amed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube gets infiamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed Deafness is the
result, and unless the Inflammation can b.
taken out and this tube restored to its nor-
NAL condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out of ten are caused
by catarrh, which is nothing but an in
