SOMETHING TO KNOW.

1t may be worth something to know
that the very best medicine for restor-
ing the tired out nervous system to a
healthy vigor is Electric Bitters. This
medicine is purely vegetable, acts by
giving tone to the nerve centres in the
stomach, gently stimulates the Liver
and Kidneys, and aids these organs
in throwing off impurities in the
blood. Electric Bitters improves the
appetite, aids digestion, and is pro-
nounced by those who have tried it
as the very best blood purifier and
nerve tonic. Try it. Sold for SOC or
$1.00 per bottle at F. Kalteyer & Sons

Reminders of the Commune.

Parisians constantly find awful re-
ninders of the days of the commune
staring them in the face. Recently the
water supply of the city was being
ameliorated, and in order to build some
storage tanks works were carried on
in the Charonne quarter. There,
wrapped in their great coats or blank
cts, no fewer than 500 bodies were
found all victims of the bloody fights
which took place about May, 1871.
These remains were gathered up and
buried in a corner of the Charonne GEM
etery.
