are cured by Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery. It corrects disordered diges-

petite hearty and assimilation perfect,
fills the blood with the elements that
build healthy flesh and muscle, and drives
all impurities and disease-ger1ns from the
blood. All druggists sell it.

The Gloom of Polar Night.

During the scientific researches in Nova
Zembla, says Constantin Nossiloff in an
article quoted in Current Literature, had
the sensations and experience of the long
Arctic night 1t began November 3 and
ended January 20. September was pretty
comfortable, Then suddenly snow cover
ed the mountains. The Samoyedes, my
only companions, put on their winter
clothing, the fishing boats set sail for Arch
angel, the ground froze, the sun lost its
warmth and heavy SHOWS fell. Winter
had come in earnest. On the day when
the sun showed itself for the last time all
hands went out of doors to bid it farewell.
1t remained in sight for half an hour only.
For few days longer there was a morning
twilight. Then this faded and gave place
to black night. The stars shone the whole
"a hours. The huts of the colony were
buried under the snow, of which thick
whirlwinds filled the air. The wind shook
the huts to their foundations. Sometimes
for days together the inmates of the differ
ent huts could hold no communication
with each other, though the huts were side
by side.
If any one went out he was seized by
the wind and had to be dragged back by
means of ropes. In this darkness and
desolation the aurora boreaiis did much to
cheer and entertain them. 1t lasted some.
times for five days in succession, with
splendors of color it seems impossible to
describe. To enjoy the spectacle / used
to remain for hours in hole in the snow,
sheltered from the wind. | have never
seen anything more terrible than tempest
during the Polar night. Man feels him
self overwhelmed in immensely. When
there came a lull in the storm the men
ventured out, to breathe the air and purge
their lungs of the exhalations of the smok-
ing lamps fed with seal oil. Twilight ap-
peared again in the middle of January,
and on the 10th the sun rose above the
horizon, while the members of the little
colony stood in line facing it and fired
salute. No one had died or been seriously
i'll, but all had the look of corpses and were
feeble as convalescents after long sick
ness Health returned with the appear
ance of the sun.

Helen KeIIar,s rrIhmte.

The late John P. Spaulding of Boston
provided the funds for the education of the
noted deaf, dumb and blind girl, Helen
Keller. Rev. Edward Everett Hale re-
ceived from Miss Keller the following note,
intended to be read at Mr.. Spaulding's flu
neral:
Farewell, dear kind friend. Our Faith
err has called thee home sooner than we ex-
pected, but we shall meet again in little
while in Gods beautiful Somewhere. ;
Meanwhile, life here will be sweeter and
better for thy deeds of love, and thy dear
name shall be tenderly cherished in many
loving hearts. Kindest of friends, fare
well. When we meet again we shall
know that pain and sorrow were sent to
lead us heavenward, and when you well
come me home the tears in my eyes will
be tears of joy.'

Senator Frank Plumley of Northfield
Vt, is a man of nationul reputation. No
man today stands more prominently be-
fore the people of the state of Vermont
than he
A lawyer by profession, he was elected to
the house of representatives in 1882, is
trustee of schools, trustee OF Mortified
bank and trustee Of Norwich university, a
military school under the patronage of the
United States government, has been trus-
tee of the Montpelier seminary, chairman
of the Republican state convention in 1888.
was United States attorney for Vermont
1899 to 1894, and is now state senator.
Senator Plumley is well known through
out the United States, having been selected
by the national Republican committee as
speaker to stump the state of Michigan for
Blaine in 1894, and again in 1888 and 1892
he spoke through the west for the Repub-
lcan presidential candidate
When he came out of the presidential
campaign in '02, owing TO overwork he
was almost a complete nervous wreck.
To our representative the senator said
I'm the fall of 1892 came out of the pres
idential campaign with nv nervous system
al"o-. L.oaen
Rest and ordinary remedies did not
assist me Some of my personal friends
advised me to take course of DR.. Greene's
medicines, which did with entire success.
Il use DR.. Greene's Nervura blood and
nerve remedy for that exhaustion caused
by long continued mental work, and think
well OF it,"
We understand that Senator Plumley's
cure is radical and complete, and while we
congratulate the popular Senator on his
+ covery, we cannot but add that this is
distinct triumph for that marvellous med
icine, DR.. Greene's Nervura blood and
nerve remedy, which, owing to the high
standing of Senator Plumley, and the fact
that he is so widely known, will give Dr.
Greene's Nervura a great boom.
The remedy deserves it, for it is in truth
a most wonderful curer of disease, a res
torative and invgorator which stands at
the present day without a rival in making
people well: remedy which is always
sure to cure, to give health and strength,
to make whoever uses it strong and vigor-
Gus.
This most valuable remedy is not pa
tent medicine and should not be classed as
such, for it is the discovery and prescrip-
ton of our leading specialists in nervous
and chronic diseases, Dr. Greene of "a
Temple Place Boston, Mass The doctor
gives an added value to his grea. remedy
by allowing all who desire to consult him
without charge, either in person or through
the mail

Mary French Field WIN Read Her
Fathers Works.

Fathers Works.
IT it be true, as has been reported, that
Mary French Field the eldest daughter of
the late Eugene Field, is 20 take to the plat
form and read her fathers works, the pub
lie can, at least, have the satisfactory knowl-
edge that 1t will listen to a young woman
thoroughly conversant with her theme,
writes Edward Box. In fact this young
lady knows her fathers works better than
he knew them himself Often when re-
citing one of his poems upon an impromptu
occasion in his own home, he would for
get his own lines and look to his daughter
for his 'cue." This she would invariably
give, and Instantly, no matter which of his
poems he was reciting. She always made
1t her business to know whatever her faith
er wrote, and before a poem went to its
publisher it was given to her and she COM
mitted 1t to memory. OF course, whether
she can give proper expression to the read
ing of the poems remains to be seen. Few
''readers" ever recited Fields poems well
none ever read them as he did himself.
He could throw an amount of feeling and
tenderness into a recital of "Little Boy
Blue" that would bring tears to the eyes of
the strongest man. None other did he re-
cite so well, so pathetically as this little
classic-probably the most beautiful thing
that Eugene Field ever wrote; certainly the
best he recited. Mary Field is young
woman of 10, the eldest of the Field child
rem. Because she learned to walk very
early her father christened her "Trotty,"
and she was scarcely ever called anything
else. She is like her father in a great
many ways and inherits many of his quail
tiles. She is a striking looking girl, and
in this respect, at least, would make a fav-
orable impression upon any audience.
