Old Young People.

People age quickly in to- American
life, and instances of preservation of
youthful strength and yigor in mature
years are pointed to as remarkable. We
are educated to believe in early decay of
physical beauty and strength, especially in
our women, and permit the decline to
continue with passing sigh. Most wo-
men have worn look in the early twenties,
the figure loses its roundness, the face the
glow of youth, and from that time on they
age rapidly. All this is wrong and un :
necessary. Let everybody to whom this
word may come, men and women alike,
consult DIR. Greene, and learn from his
great experience the cause of your trou-
BILE, and secure his valuable advice. DR..
Greene, discoverer of the famous Nervura,
and many other wonderful remedies, in
vites consultation at his office, "a Tempt
Place, Boston, Mass, either by personal
call or by letter through the mail, and in
either case he will give you advice abso-
lutely free of all charge. This offer is for
everybody, old and young, rich and poor,
and thousands of happy people testify to-
day to the practical nature of the expert
enced advice of this great specialist and
the marvellous curative power of his RENE
dies. Don't be satisfied to grow old pre-
maturely when the advice of this famous
physician is at your disposal for the ask
ing, wholly free Of charge.

THE MONETARY COMMISSION.
Ex-senator Edmunds Tells What It In
tends to Do

Washington, September 23.-Ex-Senator
Edmunds, president of the monetary COM
mission which is in session here, said to-
DAY concerning the scope and purpose Of
the committee: "The commission is COM
posed of gentlemen residing in all the
different sections of the country. They
we've not selected to represent, nor do they
represent any special interest to be pro-
NOTED by whatever they may think is
wise to do, but rather to contribute from
the principal callings of the industry and
commerce and finance of the United
States such information as would be like
ly to aid in reaching just conclusion and
in suggesting measures that should DO
beneficial. equally to the whole body of
the people of the country.
Naturally and necessarily, 1t may be
supposed that no particular plans or
changes in the laws would at present be
agreed upon or even if proposed, but
rather that the first labors Of the COM
mission would be devoted to ascertafning
the existing conditions of things as affect
ing all interests of the people and what
evils or dangers now exist. The people
of the whole country may feel sure that
the commission will do nothing and
recommend nothing that is intended to
advance any interest or class at the ex-
pense of any other whatever may be the
public opinion in respect of the wisdom
of what the commission may finally sug-
gest to be done.

In q Turkish Harem.

Mrs. Max Muller, in her Letters From
Constantinople, tells Of her visits to the
harems Of the great ladies and pays her
respects to the wife of one of the ministers:
"She was small and nice looking, with
brilliant eyes. She told me that she drove
out once, at the utmost twice, in the year
In shut carriage, the only time she passed
outside Of those terrible walls. She was
fond of her garden and her pets, cats and
birds, but she had no children, and, I was
told, lived In constant dread that her hus-
band would in consequence divorce her,
for very few Turks now have two wives.
Her idea of European life was founded on
French novels, which she read necessarily,
and she said to me, Well, we are happier
than you, for our husbands may fancy
one of our slaves whom we know, but
your husbands go about with French &C
tresses whom you don't know Sweet
meats were brought in by slaves and then
cigarettes, but had to confess my igno-
rance of smoking, and lastly the delicious
Turkey coffee in golden cup stands. TIE
minister's wife Is Il good musician, and
her sister-in law draws and paints, taught
by the minister, whe is quite a good artist,
but, in spite of music and painting and
French novels and lovely garden, had
sad feeling that she was like a bird bent
ing her wings against her golden cage.
She bad read too much to be content"

THIS BOAT WENT UP.
But 1t Didn't Go Up the Klondike as Was
Planned.

Lynn, Mass, September 23.-An ex-
plosion of naphtha occurred on board of
the schooner Abbie M. Deering at Green g
wharf about three O'Clock this afternoon
and the vessel is almost complete wreck.
One was badly hurt. The vessel was
purchased in Gloucester recently and was
being fitted out for Klondike expedition.
A quantity of naphtha had been placed
in the hold, and was used to destroy YER
min 1t is supposed the stove in the
galley ignited the gas formed by the fluid
and a loud explosion was caused. One Of
the crew, who was on deck was blown in
to the water. He was rescued and was not
hurt. Michael Kennedy, who WAS work.
ing on the vessel was blown several feet
and was cut about the head and internal
ly injured. Several men working in the
rigging were knocked down, but none
was hurt beyond few scratches.
The vessel was a sorry sight after the
explosion. The forward bulkhead had
been ripped up and the deck was torn up
nearly its entire length and it is thought
the hull was badly damaged. 1t will cost
several thousands to repair the vessel.

LINCOLN STRUCK ARocK.
Accident to the New Bath, and Boston
Steamer.

Boston, September 23.-Steamer Lin
coin, Capt. jackson, from Bath to Bos-
ton, struck a rock in the Kennebec river
last night and sustained considerable
damage. The night was V ~ dark and
a haze hung over the water, making it
almost impossible to distinguish the
guides in the river. Suddenly the stea M
er was brought up with terrific jar
which shook her from stem to stern and
caused conservation among the 100 pas
sengers. 1t was soon learned that the
Lincoln had struck on Potter ledge about
am dships and scraped over it, her propel-
Ter striking as she slid off, carrying away
two of the blades. The pumps were i'm
mediately sounded and it was found that
while the steamer was making some
water the leak was not serious enough
to return to Bath, and Capt. jackson de-
cided to continue on his way to this port.
Upon arriving at this port the steamer
discharged her cargo and was towed to
a marine railway and hauled out. 1t
was found that the planking amidshlps
aft of the starboard side had been badly
damaged and two blades of the propeller
were missing. The repairs will be COM
pleted tomorrow.

about the weeds if they would only be
neighborly with the vegetables in our gar

flowers. So we determined to get rid or
them. That was two months ago. MY
wife called her friend Puss Ia pretty girl

There was one immensely tall and thick
weed that I took keen delight in ami

weed that called it the Boss (T)weed Of

CAUGHT IN THE ACT.


Two Ladies Discover How They Had Made
Themselves Disaereeable.
Two ladies were standing on the door,
step Of house in Georgetown, where but
a moment before they had rung the bell
and were waiting to be admitted. One
was talking along very intently, when the
taller woman interrupted her.
"Be CAREFUL she said, somebody may
hear you
"I'm very particular, y responded the
other. ~ looked all around before said
anything and there was nobody in sight.
"That's what thought once, too, and
made serious mistake. was calling
once, just as we now are, and was with a
woman who could and did say the mean
est things about people ever heard talk.
I'm not given to that kind of thing usual
ly, but I do love bit of gossip, and some
times am led into saying things I
shouldn't. On this occasion the lady we
were to call on was not a favorite of mine,
and when the other woman said something
sarcastic I chimed right in and said I
thought she was the silliest and most ex-
travagant and homeliest and dowdiest and
stupidest woman of my entire acquaint-
ance, and that I only called from a sense
of duty anyhow. And few other things,
like that, said.
"Well, we were let in after long wait
and the reception we got was the chilliest
I ever met with. I couldn't understand
1t, for we were really on very good terms,
as those things go, and we got out as soon
as we could. That night told my hus-
band about ii when he came home, and he
wondered at it too. Next evening he came
in smiling, and told me that the next time
had anything to say about my neighbors
on their own doorsteps I had better first
see If there were any speaking tubes to tell
on me. That explained it all in second.
A doctor used to live In that same house
and he had speaking tube at the door, as
physicians do. The lady We were calling
on had never changed it, and as I found
out afterward, the mean thing, she used
to sit close to the other end of that tub.
and listen to what people might be saying
at the door.
"She didn't make much by listening to
me, and she didn't dare to tell me that
she knew what thought of her, and I
didn't care IL she did know, only since
that time / have been more careful.
There's tube up there, seep' and the tall
lady pointed to an innocent looking mouth
piece pouting out Of the door frame How
ever, there was no response to their ring,
and as they met the lady coming in just
as they started away they felt perfectly
safe and had nice call.-Washington
Star.

A CONSCIENTIOUS DOG.
He Led the Assessor to His Home to B
Taxed.

He Led the Assessor to His Home to Be
Taxed.
A printer owns a dog, a dog that is a
constant worry and care. He is a good
dog for printers dog, but he has some
bad traits. He will run away. This
might not be so bad in itself, but coupled
with the fact that the dog always returns,
this offense can be classed among the un.
pardonable sins. When the dog comes
back, he looks as if he had been making q
night Of it with all the disreputabl BILE dogs
of the neighborhood and 1t takes him a
day or two to sleep off his dissipation.
Last month he Yves away again. This
time he made such long stay that the
printers wife was inclined to think thai
he had gone for good and all.
He had h en- missed for several days
when the assessor called.
Madam he said, "have you dog?"
"No," said the printers wife, 1--WE have
no dog"
The assessor looked puzzled.
II understood yon had dog" he said.
"We did have dog" said the printer &
wife, but we have no dog now"
The assessor left the house. but he still
felt worried. So after he had made the
rounds of the street he hesitated little
on the corner. While he was standing
there decidedly dirty looking dog came
up and barked at him. He didn't know
the dog; the dog, however, appeared tc
know him. The assessor looked at the
dirty dog and decided to return to the
printers house. The dog at once frolioked
ahead of him, seemingly in great delight.
When the printers house was reached, the
dog barked merrily up the walk and on tc
the steps, and when the printers wife
opened the door he rushed unanimously
In.
There was look of eloquent inquiry or
the assessor face.
"Yes," said the printers wife, eve
have dog now"
And the assessor is inclined to think the
printer has the most conscientious dog in
town.-Cleveland Plain Dealer.

FOUND DEAD,

Why did he do it? He had everything
to live for,-happy home, wife, friends,
money; but he shot himself through the
heart. Why?
He couldn't have given a good reason
himself. But everything looked gloomy
to him. He was in a gloomy frame of mind.
It was the way he looked at life that day.
He had been living in too much of a hurry,
rushing and driving at business, hustling
through his meals, cutting short his sleep.
His nerves got on edge; his stomach and
liver got out of order; he grew dyspeptic
and melancholy.
When the digestion ;s out of order there
is little Use trying to look on the bright side
of things, practically there isn't any bright
side. This is a dangerous condition to get
into. Yet it is easy to get into and mighty
hard to get out of it, unless You go about it
in the right way.
There is remedy that has pulled thou
sands OF people right out of this depth of
despair. Il IS DR.. PierCe's Golden Medical
Discovery. It acts directly upon the storn-
ach and liver. 1t restores their natural
