bell ever moulded for railroad services on

used on the Old depot at New
Cssile, to notify the citizens of the
town when tho boat arrived from Phila

for Frsnchtown, which place is still
well remembered as having been the
terminus Of that famous aud bis
toric New Castle and Frenohtown rail
road When the use OF the road was
discontinued tho old bell WAS laid

Spain and Cuba.

From the New York Times.
Spain has undertaken TO bind Cuba in
the shaekles o. the old colonial system,
that is. to get from her production and
commerce every advantage that harsh
taxation aud rigorous monopoly sould
sxeort. While Spain has not been able
to compel all the trade of Cuba to be
either directly with the mother country
or else through Spanish vessels, ports
aud houses, she has inflicted on all trade
not thus conducted very onerous burdens.
Instead OF seeking TO develop tho re-
sources and commerce. OF the island, shs
has sought, with the stupid and narrow
greed Of the sixteenth century, to squetzs
from them every dollar that they could be
made to yisld wholly regardless OF the fact
that the equeezlng was checking this
product, and must ultimately destroy It.
Cuba has, in fact, been treated on the
same principle, but with far more brutal
logic. as that which England undertook
10 apply to her colonies. That principle
cost England the colonies that became
the United States. and would havs cost
her Canada as well had she not gradually
abandoned It. With this abandonment
Canada beoams, as afterward the
Australian colonies became, prosperous
and prof table provinces Of the British
Empire. They have steadily ieldsd to the

You Will need a lightweight

grand invigorator. People enjoying
perfect health sometimes wonder at
this gratitude but whoever has suffered
from prostration Of the nerves, of
which insomnia is one of the symp.
toms, will understand how hard it is
to overstate the torment of this condi-
ton. And whoever has been made
completely well by Paine's celery COM
pound feels that no words can overstate
the joy and gratitude such persons
feel.
This is the state of mind of thous-
ands of nervous, sickly, broken-down
persons who have used Paine's celery
compound and been made well.
Mrs. Sample tells of the happy result
in the case of her grandchild. One of
the most conspicuous instances of the
remarkable power Of Paine's celery
compound over debility is shown in the
relief it has afforded children. Of
course the dose is adapted to the age
of the little patient. The compound
purifies the blood and corrects any ten
dency to constipation. Pale, puny
children are made vigorous, rosy and
healthy by this Incompatible remedy.

tenn works necessarily. Poor sleep
means a poor nervous condition, and
prolonged insomnia leads in every case
to p%rostration, and too often to dread
insanity, The mischief that results
from weakened nerves is much greater
and more destructive than most folks
even dream of.
The all-important thing for nervous,
rundown persons, and for those who
are losing sleep is that Paine's celery
compound builds up the whole physi.
cal system, and by improving the di.
gestion and regulating the nerves it
insures sound, refreshing sleep.
In winter most women and many
men lead dollhouse lives. A tagging
appetite, a disposition to pick at this
dish and that, rather than to eat a
square meal, is among the early indica-
tions of failing health. Then comes
delay in falling asleep and the fretful,
uneasy feeling the next day.
Deliverance from such Il miserable
condition by the use of Paine's celery
compound has caused men and women
from every section of the United
States to write sincere, hearty words
of praise and t~hankfulness for this

For the untortunates who lie awake,
staring at the ceiling and counting the
strokes Of the clock, every sleepless
night is an eternity.
Mrs. IA. Sample, of 1858 Broadway,
New York city, was afflicted with in
somnia until her nerves were on the
verge of prostration. She thinks her
condition was due to indigestion. Here
is what Mrs. Sample says:
"1have used Paine's celery compound
with marked and decided benefit. 1t is
especially useful in insomnia, arising
from indigestion and poorly nourished
nerves.
Il should add that my granddaugh-
ter, Vera Hafeigh, was so thin and
puny at the age of ten as to cause us
the greatest anxiety. We had no diff
Guilty in inducing her to take Paine's
celery compound. To-day the roses
bloom in her cheeks, and | never saw
a healthier, stronger child than Paine's
celery compound has made her."

system. Sleep alone rests this vital
organ, together with the nerves. Dur

AN OLD FAvORITE

BY j. W. CHADWICK
My next door neighbours little girl,
A cunning two year-old,
Wondered one day why dropped her
flowers,
And pleaded to be told.
Then said her mamma, Here indoors
The sunshine doesn't come
To warm and gladden. them,
And make them feel at home"
Next morning when she went to seek
Her darling at her play,
She found her standing in the sun
In just the queerest way.
For there she held aloft a cup
Above her pretty head,
What are you doing, Lolo dearf"
Mamma, astonished said.
And she, her cup still held aloft-
Bless her, ye heavenly powers =
'I'm catching sunshine, mamma dear,
To give my little flowers"
Type of all children there was she,
Who in life's garden stand,
Still holding tenderly aloft
Their life-cup in their hand.
We. buried in our sordid cares,
Are plants that droop and die:
They catch Gods sunshine as 1t flows
Forever from on high.
Upon our weary, aching hearts
They let its blessing fall;
Their Office this in every land,
In cottage, hut and hall.
And SO the world Is kept alive
And freshened every minute,
BY the dear grace that overiows
The children who are in II.

Kissed Her Good Might,

From the Western Christian Union.
DR.. Cuyler's mother was in the habit
Of kissing her son ''good night" every
evening before retiring. One night
she returned three times to give him
the usual kiss. Finally she fingered a
moment on the steps, and turning
around, she said with sweet motherly
affection: Good night; / will see
you again in the morning" The next
morning she did not come down as
early as usual to breakfast, and DR..
Cuyler went up to her room. There
was no response to his gentle knock at
the door. He entered the room. Her
hands. were folded peacefully upon
her breast. "She had gone to the upper
home" said DR.. Cuyler. "and I will
see her again in the morning"
