A more ridiculous method of curing
man who is suffering from nervous exhaus-
ton and is threatened with nervous pros
tration could not be we'll conceived. A man
who has overworked does not need more
work, but less work and more rest The
man who has lost his appetite needs some
thing to restore it. The man whose nerves
are shattered needs something to tone and
strengthen them. Get the nerves right and
sound, and refreshing sleep will follow. A
man who sleeps we'll and eats well, and
digests and assimilates his food will not
remain i'll.
In cases Of this kind Dr.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery goes to bed rock-to
first causes. It creates hearty appetite:
1t makes the digestion and assimilation
perfect; it invigorates the liver; it purifes
the blood and fills it with the life-giving
elements of the food. It builds up new
flesh, new muscle and new nerve 6bres. It
is an unfailing cure for nervous exhaustion
and nervous prostration and the best of
all medicines for overworked men and wo-
men. An honest druggist won't urge an
inferior substitute upon you, thereby In.

ALBANY's INNOVATION.
Her Mayor Instrumental in Placing

A Marble Strip Shows Exact Points

A special to the New York Times from
Albany says: This city has made an in
novation which Mayor Thacher believes
other cities will follow. It is "meri-
dian line" and has aroused curiosity
among Albanians. The meridian line"
Is being placed in position diagonally
across the sidewalk at the southwest
corner of the city hall. tits nearly COM

desired it when he asked the common
council to appropriate a certain sum for
the establishment of a meridian line in

scribed the longitude and latitude of
the city of Albany. The meridian line,
though incomplete, has convinced
number of persons that they have been
In error regarding the direction of the
various streets in Albany.
The idea of a, meridian line first
struck Mayor Thacher while making
visit to cathedral in Milan, Italy. He
noticed brass strip in the floor and
upon inquiry learned that it was in
north and south. The mayor thought
that this would be good thing for his
own city and last May suggested it to
the common council. The latter imme-
diately acted favorably upon his advice
and City Engineer Andews was request
ed to do the necessary work with the
mayor.
1t was first thought that the line
could be laid in the carriage way, butt
was found that the granite block would
not be good place for the marble en-
ployed, and the heavy traffic would de.
face and spoil the work. The strip
across the sidewalk is "a inches wide
and 81 feet long, composed of blocks OF
marble from Brandon, VT, which was
purchased because of it's durability. It
is not as white as some marble, but it
will stand the climatic influences and
wear of feet better than shower ma
terial.
1t was somewhat difficult to get the
exact location of the city, and the only
means that City Engineer Andrews had
was to study the direction of the sun
and stars. These he studied from the
Dudley observatory, but was not salts
fled at first, and went to AIix's jewel1y
store, where hourly reports are received
from Washington and there secured his
additional information.
The bronze tablet is almost completed
and wild contain the exact longitude and
lititude of the city, which Mr.. Andrews
has obtained. 1t is waiting for an in
scription that Mayor Thacher is prepar-
ing for it, and will be placed in position

Frederick Women Take up the
Cause of Greece.

Frederick women are never behind
in acts of graciousness, goodness and
charity, and their recent espousal of
the cause of the Greeks in their un-
equal struggle with the savage Turks,
entities them to the highest encomiums
of praise and laudation. They have
forwarded TO Queen Olga of Greece, in
response to her pathetic appeal to all
christian women, resolutions of sympa-
thy as appear below, and later took
more effective means of showing their
deep feeling with her and her afflicted
people. AT recent meeting of the
Daughters ofthe American Revolution
held at the residence of Mrs. Bette
M. Richie, it was decided to receive
contributions and forward same to
Athens. Already $25 has been sub
scri6ed and more promised.
The following resolution was drawn
up and represented the unanimous
opinion of the cnapter:
To Queen Olga, Athens, Greece.
The Frederick Chapter, Daughters
of the American Revolution, sends
greetings to you apd through you to
your illustrious husband, who has so
nobly espoused the cause of that sacred
symbol impressed upon our brows IN
holy baptism, and beg to transmit the
following resolutions, which were pass
ed at meeting held in response to the
appeal issued by the Union of Greek
women on the afternoon of April 22nd,
1897, at the house of the Regent in
Frederick City, Maryland.
Resolved, That we recognize in this
cause the common cause of every chris
tian in the whole world, aud that we
pledge to the gallant Greek army now
fighting the battles of the Cross, our
answering sympathy and unfalteriug
support.
Resolved, That, as body of chris
tan women, we protest against the
course pursued by the great European
nations, and will use whatever infiu-
ence we may possess in behalf of those
who are now endeavOring to succ0r
and protect our oppressed brethren of
Crete. Remembering whose descend
ants we are, we bid you take courage
aud be of good cheer. The God of bat
ties led out of u seemingly hopeless
wilderness the little band of heroes
who achieved American Independence
and has set our feet in large room.

LIVED ON THE FAT OF THE LAND.

Ancient Romans COuId Eat the
Choicest Delicacies of the World.
When at its zenith the Roman empire
laid all the barbaric countries of the
world under contribution to supply the
tables of it's mobiles and wealthy citizens
with the fine luxuries of life, says Lip
pincott's Magazine. Asia and Africa
poured in the rich spices and fruits of
the tropics; Germany and the great
north countries raised the grains and
wild berries; Italy and the fertile land
of the Franks cultivated the vineyards
to make or express the wines; every
strip of sea coast from the Mediterra-
mean to the Baltic contributed its quota
of fish, and the forests of Brittany yield
ed the Wild game of the woods-birds,
beasts and fowls-for the banquets of
the proud, dissolute rulers of the vast
empire. With the choice products of a
great world so easily obtained there
were wanton waste, foolish eXtrava-
gance and a strange disregard of the
value of expensive luXuries, and the his
torian dwelling upon these times de-
lights in Gecapitulating the various
articles of diet arranged in tempting
manner upon the grooming tables at the
great feasts and banquets.
But, excepting Nero's dish of peacock
tongues and Cleopatra's cup of wine
with the dissolved pearls in it, the menu
of our modern banquets would compare
favorably with those spread in the
times when gluttony. RIGHTEOUSNESS and
greed for luxury were insidiously sap
ping the strength of Rome.
