$1,000 per policy Il follows that about
$4,000 of the women in these United
States have taken insurance, When II
is remembered that there are in this
country about 100000 women Of In
surable age 1t will readily be seen that
the solicitors who shall undertake Co
place before them the benefits OF life
insurance will find a plenteous harvest
ready to be gathered."
When asked as to whether her own
work showed effective results, Mrs,
Lapham said: Eyes, decidedly. Since
my return from New York three weeks
ago ! have received fifteen letters from
women stating their intention to In
sure their lives. These were from dis
tant places-Duluth, Victoria, Texas
and Chicago-as well as from the
states OF Connecticut and New York.
After one lecture in New York ten
women presented themselves to me,
saying they would take policies.

A pretty new idea Is to cross over in

Bows are to be worn directly in front
instead of back at the collar, a change
which every one heartily approves.
Fashionable among finger rings are
the French hoop, the princess ana tWo-

Women OF the period are wearing

much more fashionable than the point

Shoulder capes with fancy collars,

popular for trimming or for boas and

Never was ribbon so much used for

II is this season. II Is universally used
in loops and ends, knots, folds and ro-

waist. The effect Is further enhanced
in many instances by using small
buckles to hold the ribbon in place.

WHAT IS THIS DISEASE CALLED
DYSPEPSIA?

Like a thief at night, 1t steals In upon
us unawares. The patients have pains
about the chest and sides, and some
tines in the back. They feel dull and
sleepy; the mouth has a bad taste, espe-
cially in the morning. A sort of sticky
slime collects about the teeth. The ap-
petite is poor. There Is feeling like a
heavy load on the stomach; sometimes a
faint. all-gone sensation at the pit OF
the stomach which food does not satisfy.
Eyes are sunken. the hands and feet be-
come cold and clammy. After a while
n cough sets in, at first dry, but after a
few months Il Is attended with a green
ish colorcd cxpectoration. The patient
feels tired all the while, and sleep does
not seem to afford any rest, After a time
he becomes nervous, irritable and
gloomy, and has evil f~orebodlngs.
There Is q giddiness, n sort Of whirling
sensation In the head when rising up
suddenly. The bowels becom costive;
the skin is dry and hot at times; the blood
becomes thick and %stagnant; the whites
of the eyes become tinged with yellow:
the urine Is scanty and high colored, de-
posting n sediment after standing.
There Is frequently a splitting up of the
food, sometimes with n sour taste and
sometimes with q sweetlsh taste; this Is
frequently attended with palpitotlan Of
the heart; the vision becomes impaired
with spots before the eyes; there Is q
feeling OF great prostration and weak
ness. All OF these symptoms are in turn
present. II is thought that nearly one
third of our population has this disease
In some OF its varied forms. II has been
found that medical mon have mistaken
the nature of this disease. Some have
treated 1t for n liver complaint, some for
dyspepsia, others for kidney disease.
etc. etc, but zone of the various kinds
of treatment have been attended with
success.
Now. the Shaker Digestive Cordial
Rus tho food eaten to be dlgested.
This win cause an appetite for more food
and this being dlgested will result In an
increase OF strength, an increase OF flesh
and an Increase Of nerve power.
The tired. weary feeling will give way
to vlgor and courage. The pale, thin and
! emnciated will recover their color and
plumpncss, because red blood and fat
are the result OF properly dlgested food.

MEMS A MANNERS.

A writer in THE Gentleman begins
thus severely a dIatsabe on the manners
OF his countrymen: ut is obviously
absurd to discuss what does not exist,
and. therefore, those who have any
thing to say on the subject of mems
manner had better say It at once; for
n matters progress at their present
rate. men will soon have no manners at
all" The paper continues, describing
the "almost incredible lengths to
which the young mar OF the present
day will so in bad manners"
In the first place. he has practically
ceased to answer invitations. So sener-
al has the practice become that hos
tesses always reckon upon 1t when CIV
ina a ball. A very well-known wo-
man of the world recently sent out
cards for q dance. She asked fifty wo-
men and six hundred men. About thir-
ty of the six hundred had the decency
10 let her know whether they intended
10 accept her hospitality or not. Or the
remaining Ave hundred and seventy
some came and some stayed away. YET
the legend r. s. v. P. was In the cor
ner of every card. A great manv men
who wrongly imagine themselves tope

Tor a ban, don't reply to it; but When
the night of II arrives they 30 to the

News Items from tho Lively Industrial

Recently fines were imposed by the
authorities on a Baltimore & Ohio con-
ductor and crew for holding a freight
train at BOggs' run crossing longer
than the prescribed five minutes. The
fines have failed to make d noticeable
effect, judging by the time the freight
trains are holding the crossing. Yester-
day afternoon q double header blocked
the street cars for exactly ten minutes.
and the same thing occurs frequently.
The delay causes no little Inconvenience
to the travelling public. and is prejudl-
cal to the vicinity in general. Passen-
gers on q street car, or teamsters, or
persons driving don't like the railroad
company to double the delay. 1t is a
matter that should be attended to.
