THE SPORT OF DEBT.
Republican Administration Paid It, but

Republican Administration Paid It, but Cleveland Adds to It.
 The figures representing the republi- can and the democratic methods of treating the matter of public indebted ness are so impressive and instructive that they deserve to be urged strongly upon the attention of the people who pay debts. Between March 1, 1869 and March 1, 1893 (when MT. Cleveland re- turned to office), the debt payments of the republican party amounted to $1,- SS1, ,367,S7 Between March 1, 1895, and March 1, 1896, (under the rule of MT. CleyelanO, the national debt was in- creased to the extent of $262,002 245 That is to say, since MT. Cleveland's re- turn to office he has put back upon the people just about one-seventh of the debt that his republican predecessors took off. Give him a little more time and no doubt he would restore the whole of it. The American Economist pre- sents the fact in another interesting form as follows:
 IlOllllily dCSlCaSG
 of debt, 1S65-1S93 $5,701, IA Y Democratic monthly increase
 of debt, 1893-1S96 $7,502, 921 2S
 This is the work of the great states man whose soul burned within him, eight years ago, as he observed a sur- plus in the treasury. In his letter of ac- ceptance, in 1888, MT. Cleveland said:
 "In reviewing the bad effects of this accumulated surplus and the scale of tariff rates by which it is produced, we must not overlook the tendency toward gross and scandalous public extrava- gance which a congested treasury pro- duces."
 And now the question is whether ta- riff-produced surplus is really more dan gerous or extravs gant than a deficiency created by tariff legislation and made tip by buying gold at ten per cent. pre- mium from bankers who take it out again at par. The American people will supply an answer at the polls in Novem- Der next-Manufacturer

Never Apologize When You Yawn.

The anatomy of the yawn is branch of science that has been neglected. A yawn is either natural or artificial Among the natural are the things called gaps" which are not true yawns at all, but must be carefully distinguished from them The artificial article has a number of purposes. Sometimes it is assumed as a hint to the visitor who stays too long, or the man who talks politics in the presence of women, or talks shop, or tells an old story, or makes himself a general nuiance. Women have habit of yawning in the face of a male individual who talks en- thusiastica1ly to them about other wom- en. This is one of the most artificial of yawns. It has not even the pretense of reality about it. The most essential dff- ference between the real yawn and the assumed one, is that the former is con- tagious, and the latter is not. One has only to indulge in this physical act un- willingly, in street car, to see it pass up one side and down on the other. The majority of those who follow the first example, do it without noticing where the initiative came from, or that they are following it. On the other hand, an artificial yawn begins and ends with the person who perpetrates it. It has none of the subtle initiat tive of the real arti- cle. Next to being able to understand a yawn, the most important social ac- complishment is to be able to stifie one. This can be done only after long prac- tice. Where this art has not been at- tained to, the best thing to do is not to apologize. Such an explanation is an insult to the intelligence of the person spoken to. A real, soul-felt yawn must be lived down, it cannot be explained away. Say nothing, and your neighbor may obviate all trouble by initiating you. In that case, one transgresslon offsets the other.

A D0UBTING THOMAS.
WHO STOOD UPoN THE RAGGED
 EDGE OF HEALTH.

But Was Willing To Be Convinced Of the
 Truth-He Has At Last Become Firm
 Believer.
 Some people are so constituted that they prefer to keep on in the beaten path and never to strike out for them selves. When they are sick they rely up- on a few old fashioned medicines, and apparently choose to suffer rather than try a modern remedy of established reputation.
 Among the various ills of such people none is more common than bliousness, which is caused by torpor of the liver, thus preventing the proper digestion of thefood, which decomposes and ferments in the stomach This causes dizziness, headache, sleeplessness, pains in the stomach and abdomen with an accumu- lation of gas; there is constipation and possibly kidney trouble; the complexion is pale and sallow and life is only pro- longed misery
 In such cases what is needed is a nerve and blood builder to bring back the bloom of youth to pale and sallow people.
 MT. Auguste Froelicher of 299 Bleecker street, New York city, was a great suf- ferer, but when friend recommended to him the greatest remedy of modern times, Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy, he questioned its effic- acy. At last this Doubling Thomas was persuaded to try this marvellous medicine, and the following letter shows how he was convinced of it's great vir- tues, and now he has become a firm believer in it. He says; Having been sick for over two years with malaria and dyspepsia and not being able to eat, the doctors advised me to make a trip to France, which I did, returning without any better results.
 My trouble has been one that caused several physicians of renown here in America, as also other eminent members of the medical faculty in Europe, to fail after consistently attempting it's cure. It was pronounced a complication of malaria, dyspepsia and kidney weak ness.
 T heard of Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy, and after using it for time I began to eat we'll and my sufferings disappeared.
 That others who have suffered as I have with terrible pains in the back, limbs and head may be relieved from such dreadful tortures, and restored to usefulness, this testimonial is given to let it be made public that Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy has completely cured me-
 Perhaps it Is not strange that MT. Froelicher doubted, for the marvellous power of -Dr. Greene's Nervura, the great blood and nerve remedy, is almost beyond belief A trial will convince the most slSeptical that this is the grandest medicine of modern times. Its dicover- CT, pr. Greene; of 35 West 14th st., New York city, is one of the progressive med- ical practitioners of whom this nine- teenth century is justly proud. He al- lows all who wish to consult him daily, either personally or by letter, free of charge.

GIRLS TALUE PURIFY IN MEN.
The Exceptions, Who Wed Men of the

The Exceptions, Who Wed Men of the
 World, Always Repent of It.
 A young man writes to Edward w. Box, inquiring why so many girls seem to prefer the company of young fellows of slightly plotted character-me who have seen the world--and in many cases marry them, in face of the fact that their past lives are known to them. Tn the January issue of the Ladies Home Journal MT. Box, it's editor, makes this reply: Girls, that is, the right kind of girls, do not prefer the company of young men of this sort. Doubtless, you have come across some instances where this rule has been otherwise; so have I. But it is all in the seeming, and not in the reality. Depend upon one thing; girls have as high an estimate of purity in man as men have of purity in wo- men. There are, of course, cases to the contrary, but these are few. Where girls marry men who are known to have led what is called a worldly life,' it is more generally due to misunderstood ing of facts or to ignorance than people imagine. There is a type of girl who finds a peculiar satisfaction in the con- quest of a man who has seen the world and then comes to her as the one woman of all her sex who can make him happy. This sometimes pleases her vanity and love of conquest, but she is not many years older before she discov- CTS that she has satisfied those feelings at very high cost. There is another type of girl who rather fancies a man who is what is called fast But that sort of girl is painfully ignorant of what is meant by that word as applied to man. If she were not she would be very apt to change the adjective to 'vul- gar' And as she natures she finds this out. It is only young men of upright lives who can hope to win the favor and love of girls of highest motives, the girls who make the best wives, If. at times,

COURT RECORD.
Superior Court-Judee Hall.

The decision of Judge F. B. Hall of the superior court Saturday reversing the decree of the probate court in the appeal from probate in the case of the will of the late Diana M. Miles of Mill ford is of Importance. Tn the case in question the testatrix declared her in tention at one time to make an altera- ton and other evidence was offered by the appellees which they claim showed that she had drawn lines through the will. The court finds that the evidence was not satisfactory to prove that the lines were drawn by her.
 The will when presented to court had a line drawn through the bequeIst of twenty-four shares of New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad stock to time of the probate at what time nor by whom these were made. The decis- ion is in effect that where such altera- tions appear on the face of the will, made after the execution of the origi- nal document they must be proved af- firmatively to have been made by the testatrix directly or by some one in her presence.
 The court, therefore, rejects the lines and allows the bequest to stand in fa- vor of the appellees, Isabel and Susan Miles. The suit was brought by the executor of the will Charles Miles.

Mrj w. E. Pabor, editor of the Pabor

discussion of this subject. He states that
the reproductive power of the pineapple is
remarkable. He has done some figuring,

very large. The Japanese are well aware
of the valuable monopoly that they have
Numbered upon rather than sought, and
have already begun to limit the export by
imposing duties. AS natural consequence,
the price of the drug has risen rapidly
since thewar came to an end, and bids
fair to rise higher. Properly handled and
wisely administered, camphor should prove
a valuable source of revenue, and contri-
butte handsome quota toward the cost OF
the military preparations which pertain to
the peace of the Dragon Kingdom.
In the vicinity of DeLand there are
few camphor trees. and we believe they
successfully withstood the severe cold OF
season. These trees make good growth
in short period of time, and are very or
