A congressman is public servant in the full sense of the word.
 He is responsible U his const tuents, to his party, to himself-the honorable office is full of hard, thankless work, and heavy responsibility.
 Congressman William w. Grout is grate- fuI to the friend who directed him 10 Paine's celery compound, when prolonged official work had we'll nigh exhausted his health and strength. His letter reads:
 Committee on Expenditures the War Dept.
 Ho1se oi Representatives, |. S.,
 Washington, DC, Feb. .8, 1896.
 I found relief ill Psine's celery compound for insomnia. Its action on the circulation and digestion was also beneficial.
 Very truly yours, WILLIAM w. GR0CT.
 There IS something wrong when one feels |" tired all the time." It is contrary to every condition of good health
 There ought to be no necessity of drum ming into the ears of tired men and women who feel they are broken in health, and are every day losing in weight and strength, the urgent need of taking Paine's celery com pound, now 'tiS spring, to restore their spent nerve force and purify their b'oCd.
 Some of the earliest good results noticed from taking Paine's celery compound dur these spring days is a regularity of the bowels, a better appetite, >Ound sleep and

good digestion. A healthy blood supply is regulated by the nerves, and when these vital tissues become fatigued and badly nOurished, the bad effect is seen in falling digestion, distressing, ringing sounds in the ears, dizzy spells, deprc ssion, neuralgia and lassitude. Spring days afford every one the opportunity for shaking of old weaknesses and persistent disorders.
 Physicians of every school have been from the start urged to inquire into the formula of Paine's celery compound, that they might satisfy themselves of it's wOn- derful power of making the sick we'll. Prof. Edward E. Phelps, MD, LL.D., as soon as he presented Paine's celery compound to his fellow physicians, was always anxious to have the invigorator tried in cases that had resisted the usual methods of treat ment that he might prove the truth of every clam made for his newly discovered formula for Paine's celery compound. The great remedy always gavs relief, and in % cases out of leo made people well.
 Pdine's celery compound cannot be judged by the standard of any ordinary medicine, sarSaparilla or nerve tonic. 1t is great modern, scientific discovery, sipgularly un- like any remedial agent that has ever aimed to effect a similar purpose-to make people well.
 Paine's celery compound is the one real spring remedy known today that never fails to benefit. Get Paine's celery compound. and only Paine's celery compound if you wish to Ire we'll

THE PARSEE EDISON.
Says the x Rays Have Long Been Known
 to Eastern Scientists.

Says the x Rays Have Long Been Known
 to Eastern Scientists.
 The "Parsee Edison" is in New York. He was the first lecturer on the electric al light in India and is here to learn psychical powers and to show to the people the existence of spiritual powers. He says the X ray is a wonderful thing, as recently developed, but also claims that it is a back number, it being a lower manifestation of the astral light on the psychical plane, and as such has long been known to eastern occultists. He admits, however, that the east has never known in it's physical bearing the X ray, and he expects to have lots of fun with it when he returns home.
 The "Parsee Edison" never leaves his head uncovered. wearing a turban by day and tight fitting skullcap at night. The magnetic extremities of the body he believes should always be covered, so as to prevent the loss of vital magnetism, which is otherwise passing out of the body and being wasted.
 Before he finishes his peculiar mission nightcaps fashioned after those worn by our grandfathers may be placed on sale, especially if the Parsee teacher becomes a fad. .-Pittsburg Dispatch.

SILVER MAY SPLIT PARTIES.
Ex-Governor Campbell Believes the House
 Will Have to Elect tho Next President.

Ex-Governor Campbell Believes the House
 Will Have to Elect tho Next President.
 'I want international free coinage of silver at ratio of 1515 to l." said ex- Governor James E. Campbell of Ohio. 'I consider single gold standard advo- cates as much wrong on one side as l believe single silver standard men on the other. am opposed to our country going ahead alone and coining silver free. No one nation can do it and sur vive, but the United States, Germany and France could do so without Eng lands cooperation. With an interna- tional agreement all troubles with the money question would vanish, and ex- pect to live to see such an arrangement effected
 The ex-governor was talking with several local politicians when he made this statement. The conversation then switched and Mir. Campbell said:
 "Any good man who wants it can have the Democratic nomination for president this year. y
 "Do you want it?" was asked.
 ''I am not candidate" was the re. ply.
 Would you accept it?"
 ''The possibility of having chance to do so seems so remote that don't think it worth considering, but just now I should refuse. Whitney and Mat thews would make a splendid team if they would accept. New York and h. diana is good old Democratic combi- nation, and don't know how we would feel if the two states were not both rep resented on the ticket.
 ''But believe" he continued, "that the next president will be elected by the house of representatives. There will be a fight in both the national conventions between the extreme gold men and the extreme silver men. Both are cranks. The two parties as Democrats and Re- publicans have really no difference on the money question. The silver men will not be satisfied with the Repub- lican platform, and they will bolt and lose the party enough states to throw the election of the president into the QOUS0.
 "What sort of money blanks will the national platform contain?'
 "That l cannot say, but this is the day of straddles. The Republican party claims to favor gold standard, yet none of the leaders will come out and declare for it in so many words. If Mo Kinley has done it, I have not heard of it. Therefore compromise plank with the Republicans will be straddle. !"
 "What about the Republican nomina- tion for presiGent?"
 "Well, the.T don't seem to have ar- rived at any understanding yet. ."
 ''How about McKinley?'
 ''Oh, nothing, only he'll find great deal of green goods in his grip when he unpacks it in St. Louis"

 Tillie's head is covered with silvery white hair and her eyes are of change able colors. She has the figure though not the stature of woman, and her mental powers are remarkable Ow- ing to the defect in her vision, by day light she rarely leaves home and never wanders on the street without a guide; but at night she can take good care of herself. In gas-lighted room she can see but very imperfectly, but with the light turned out she can readily distin- guish any object.

A Frank Statement.
Mrs. R. c. Peterson, of Fairhayen, Tells Reporter of fer Recent Illness
 and Cure.

Be h., Reporter of fer Recent Illness and Cure.
 From the World HeTdld, Fdirhdren, Wash. Mrs. R. c. Peterson, of Fairhaven Wash, who has been for number o1 years sufferer from nervous prostra. tion, rheumatism and female weak. nesses, and who has lately entirely re. covered therefrom, was called upon 8 few days ago by Herald representa-. tive whose attention had been called to her case. In answer to an inquiry Mrs. Peterson said:
 "Yes, was sufferer for many years from nervous attacks, rheumatism and other complaints. We, my husband and I, expended large sum of money in visiting the celebrated doctors of Denver, Salt Lake City and San Fran cisco, but my relief in all cases was only temporary, and we had nearly de- spaired of my ever recovering my health, when, one day friend advised Dr. Williams Pink Pills, saying they had known of case very similar to mine, where wonderful cure had been effected by their use.
 Acting upon this advice, as last remedy, my husband purchased box of the Pink Pills more to please my friend than from any belief in the medicine. However, before the box was half gone felt decided change for the better and after using three boxes was entirely recovered, and felt as well and strong as I ever did.
 ''Dr. Williams Pink Pills have certainly been wonderfully effective remedy for me, and I have no hesti- tancy in recommending them to any one who was affected as I was."
 Dr. Williams Pink Pills are not looked upon as patent medicine, but rather as prescription. An analysis of their properties shows that they con- tain, in condensed form, all the ele- ments necessary to give new life and richness to the blood and restore shat tered nerves. They are an unfailing specific for such diseases as locomotor ataxia, partial paralysis, St. Vitus' uoAOO, oSAooAO1, hOuAd1SAet, IhOu1AAolo1uJ nervous headache, the after effects of Ia grippe, palpitation of the heart, pale and sallow complexions, and the tired feeling resulting from nervous prostra- tion, all diseases resulting from vitiated humors in the blood, such as scrofula, chronic erysipelas, etc. They are also specific for troubles peculiar to females, such as suppressions, irreg- ularities, and all forms of weakness. They build up the blood and restore the glow of health to pale and sallow cheeks. They are for sale by all drug gists, or may be had by mail from Dr. Williams Medicine Company, Schenec- tady, N. Y., for soc. per box, or six boxes for $2.50.

HIS OWN FIREMAN.
President Cleveland Will Be Given an E,

President Cleveland Will Be Given an Ex-
 tinguisher For Gray Gables.
 President Cleveland will have to be his own fire department hereafter, whether he wants to or not. The town of Bourne at the recent town meeting voted an appropriation for the purpose of supplying every residence in the town with hand fire extinguisher.
 ''The appropriation means" stated one of the officials to a reporter, "that every house will be provided with ex- tinguishers, and i'll his home each resi- dent will be prepared to fight fire. This will be the only means we will have for putting out fires. We have been relying upon Providence in the past.
 "Gray Gables, the presidents sum- mer home, and Crows Nest, where Joe Jefferson spends the summer, will be supplied with these extinguishers the same as the other cottages" The dis tribution of the fire extinguishers will begin in few days.

orr DOOR SPORTS.

The hardy, strong. athletic man. after months of outdoor life and sports, feels all the better, although he may have suffered, as many do, from serious sprains and bruises. If sports were stopped on that ac- count we would have no more of the great base ball games. sports of field and turf, Q. oar and gun, of rod and racquet, but all sportsmen and athletes take spralns and bruises as an accompaniment with com, posture, because they know how easy and certain it is to use St. Jacobs Oil and get rid of permanently the worst forms of any such accidents. There may be some. indeed many, not quite up to date Tn being prepared for the seasons enjoyment, and such should undoubtedly have a supply of this great remedy for pain.

GIddness Comes

IhIith a better understanding of the
 transient nature of the many phys ical ills which vanish before proper ef- forts-gentle eefforts-pleasant efforts rightly directed. There is comfort in the knowledge that so many forms of sickness are not due to any actual dis ease, but simply to constipated condi- tion of the system, which the pleasant family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt ly removes. That is why it is the only remedy with millions of families, and is everywhere esteemed so highly by all who value good health. Its beneficial effects are due to the fact, that it is the one remedy which promotes internal cleanliness, without facilitating the organs on which it acts. Itis therefore all important, in order to get its bene- fcial effects, to note when you pur- chase, that you have the genuine article, which is manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co. only, and sold by all rep utable druggists.
 If in the enjoyment of good health, and the system is regular, then laXa- tives or other remedies are not needed. If afflicted with any actual disease, one may be commended to the most sl1illful physicians, but if in need of laxative, then one should have the best, and with the well-informed everywhere, Syrup of Figs stands highest and is most largely used and gives most general satisfaction.
