BesToN, MASS, Feb. 81, 1897.
After the eXertion of my record rides
while with the Morgan q Wright team in
the south last winter, during which | lost
somewhat in weight, on account of the nm
accustomed climate, | was advised to use
Paine's celery compound. i am pleased to
say that it gave such satisfaction that | was
lmpelled to use it again to brace up from
the effects of the two unusually rough
ocean trips that | have taken during the
past month. | believe that wheelmen who
have to undergo the hardships of "circuit
chasing" will find Paines celery compound
OF assistance to keeping up their physical
tone. Jimmy Michael.
Every one needs to take spring remedy
to purify their blood, arouse the circulation
and counteract the debilltatiny effect OF
months OF confining work, worry and ex-
citenent.
The more intelligent portion of every
community are the ones who best recon-
mend Paine's celery compound. They

lowed its remarkable achievements in the

The Center Table.

Some one recently has spoken word
in favor of the old time center table,
and it would indeed be a good thing
could it be restored The very presence
Of its bright lamp, its periodicals and its
books suggests sociability and delightful
intercourse. The very opportunity it Of
fers for the drawing up Of many chairs
is silent invitation, and it so possesses
a subtle charm that is all it's own. What
we most need in our modern social life
are informal gatherings where compan-
ionship can be enjoyed without the
preparation and the fuss attendant upon
dinner or reception. And, as the
center table may properly be called a
promoter of just such happy homes, it
would be we'll were it once more given
place. Ledger.

A Poets ChiValrY.

The poetry of Longfellow reveals its
authors sensitive, chivalrous spirit, so
that those familiar with his verses will
read without surprise this story told by
Mrs. PhelpsWard i'll her Chapters
From Life"
Longfellow was reading aloud a poem
one day to Mime. Modjeska, whose eyes
filled with tears as the reading pro-
ceeded.
II shall never forget observes Mrs.
Phelps Ward, "the tone and manner
with which he turned toward her. 'Oh, ,
he cried, I meant to give you happi-
ness! And have given you pain.
His accent on the word pain was
like the smart of wound.

GOOD LOOKS.

There are more wrinkles in the face of a
baby monkey than there are IN that of an
old baboon. And speaking of wrinkles,
more of them can be wrought out in a fair
young face by neuralgia than will be found
in that of an aged person. Constant pain
will shriyel, and neuralgia neglected will
plow its burrows deep. 1t not only wrinkles,
but takes the bloom away and gives the skin
a dull and yellow look. st. Jacobs Oil is a
prompt and sure cure for neuralgia, and it
should be used, as while it soothes and cures,
it smOOths out the tracks of pain and leaves
the skin healthy and fair again; besides it
rids the sufferer of much torment and re-
stores a happier disposition. Good looks
come only with good health, and health is
found in the absence ofpain.

CHEAP IRRIGATION.

The Hercules Gas Engine Works of San
Francisco, Cal. the largest builders of gas,
gasoline and oil engines on the Coast, are
making extensive preparations for the
seasons business.
They are filling several orders for large
irrigating plants and as this line of their
business increases each season, it is safe to
say the farmers throughout the State are ap-
preciating the advantages of irrigation with
water pumped by this cheap power.
The Hercules Works are at present build
ing an so H. P. engine for Geo. f. Packer,
Cousa, which will raise 5000 gallons per
minute from the river and distribute it over
his land. This will be the largest gasoline

XHTith a better understanding of the
w transient nature of the many phys
ical ills which vanish before proper eff
forts-gentle efforts-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 a constipated condi-
sion of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt
ly removes. That is why il is the only
remedy with millions OF families, and is
everywhere esteemed SO highly by all
who value good health. It's beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness, without debilitating the
organs on which it acts tits therefore
all important in order to get its bene-
fetal effects, 80 note wheu 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 skillful
physicians, but IL in need of laxative,
then one should have the best, and with
the well-informede every where, Syrup of
FIGS stands highest and is most largely
used and gives most general satisfaction

THE WEST PROTESTS.

A western Republican is as good as
an eastern Republican. The Republi-
can party is more of western birth than
of eastern origin. The party embodies
more Of western convictions and ideas
than of eastern ones. 4 western Re
publican cannot be read out of the party
for holding to bu,eiallism any more
than an eastern Republican can for
holding to the single standard. Silver
was a few months ago, while as to a
protective tariff, the party east and
west seemed united in the demand and
entirely harmonious.
But there has GENE a kick which
threatens TO defeat the measure lately
passed by the house. The protest is
from western Republicans and their
senators in congress. The present tar
if bill is more sectional than was the
silver question. Should the bill become
law as Il now stands the east would
be protected in many instances or 10y A
number of schedules at the expense Of
the west The eastern manufacturer
does not seem disposed 10 give the west
ern producer a fair show. General
Hancock once declared: '.The tariff is
but a local issue" As a protective
measure it certainly cannot be made
sectional without disaster, politically
and commercially. If it is but a local
matter it must be made to protect every
locality and every interest or otherwise
It's sectional wrongs viii cripple and
finally defeat IL The western senators
who are demanding protection on hides
and other western products are right in
protesting and threatening. and their
constituencies will stand by them.
