Of the functions. allays irritation and in
checks unnatural, exhausting
drains. and puts the whole delicate or

male complaint" There are not three
cases in a hundred Of woman's peculiar
disease that Dr.. Pierce's Favorite Pre-
scription will not cure.

DO Negroes Sneeze?

ut was Professor Schroeder of Louis
vi,le," volunteered q surgeon to re-
porter, "who first ventured the opinion
that the negro never sneezes. The state
ment was made in reply to question by
Professor Gross, the famous Philadel-
phia surgeon. A smile passed around
the listeners, and Professor Schroeder,
observing that there was some doubt
about his statement, reiterated it with
some force.
He then explained that while there
were no structural arrangements about
the breathing apparatus of the colored
race that has been discovered which pre-
vented it from sneezing it was fact
that the colored man did not sneeze,
though he could be made to sneeze by the
use OF snufIs, pepper and other irritants
he had, he said, never made any expert
ments in that connection. He also said
his observation had been confined to
colored people in the southern states
Atmospheric or other conditions might
exist elsewhere which might cause him
to sneeZe, but none existed naturally in
the south.
'The debate on the subject occupied
nearly an hour at a meeting Of the In
ternational Surgical association, which
held q convention IN TIE cid Lincoln
hall some years ago. Stree then have
often snoken Of i5 aUd aSl.d my friends

that he ever heard negro man or wom-
an snoeze. Ey negro | mean black
man or woman believe that mulat-
toes sneeze occasionally, and the nearer
they are 10 white the more frequently
they sneeZe, bat even they are less SEN
sitive to influences which produce sneez-
ing than the people Of the white race.
1t has been observed also that Indians
sneeze very seldom, while Chinese
sneeze ten times as much even as the
white race. WASHINGTON Star.

CHAPTER V.
TIE TWO GIRLS.

Virginia Lewis, though living in
New England, would never be mistaken
for native of that section. She lacked
the phlegmatic temperament of the peo-
pie about her, Notwithstanding the fact
that she had been reared among them.
Her environment had undoubtedly af-
fected her character 20 the extent that
Outwardly she moved, spoke and acted
like her neighbors. But there was GER
tain suppressed emotion, always distin-
guishable, however well controlled,
that bespoke birthplace in a warmer
cline. However mildly she might ad-
dress her friends, and there were few
Of gentler speech, the slightest antago-
nism betrayed by any one present would
be met with an instantaneous answer
ing flash of her lustrous dark eyes,
which betokened danger if the subject
were pursued. Not one, not even those
most dear to her, had the courage to
take liberties of conversation or of act
with Virginia Lewis. Nevertheless, she
was the best beloved and most popular
young woman in the township Half
the young men the country round were
her admirers, ready to become obedient
servitors in exchange for friendly nod.
Rarer still, she had no enemies among
the women folk.
She was not beautiful, yet by many
called so. think this was because of
the MAJ vel of her eyes, which, always
brilliant and ever restlessly moving, as
though to absorb all about her, attract
ed with a fascination or magnetism
which zone resisted 1t was no wonder
that the rays of genuine intelligence
shed by those orbs should have been mis-
taken for beauty, for after all, it is ex-
pressiveness rather than symmetry of
lineament which men most admire in
woman.
When at rest, there were hard, set
lines about the mouth which, 20 the

Squire Olney had truly mentioned as
Characteristic traits. Mr.. Barnes had said
that he would not expect to surprise her
again into betrayal Of herself or her
purposes, and in this he showed u keen
perception.

they were detectives. She noticed that

she had not time TO decide upon the
best course consistent with whatever
purpose she was bent upon accomplish
ing When they left her, she sat down
and meditated for some time. Present
ly she arose, and it was evident that her
plan had been formulated. She took the
pistol from the cabinet, where Mr..
Barnes shrewdly guessed that it was.
Whatever had been her reason for re-
moving the shell which Mr.. Barnes had
taken it was plain that she now consid-
cred her purpose unattainable. Opening

therefrom small mahogany box, which
she unlocked. In il were several paste

" TO determine whether this were a
genuine or an assumed manner. He was
puzzled.

Mr.. Barnes and Marvel left Ports
mouth on the first train available and
reached Wadley's Falls the next morn
ing. While on the train Mr.. Barnes
found an opportunity TO be alone in the
smoking car long enough to piece to-
gether the fragments of the letter which
he had picked up when thrown away
by Marvel. With mucilage which he
had procured at Portsmouth he pasted
each piece to another sheet so that
finally the letter was once more legible.
1t read as follows:
After the events Of last night it is best that
you leave the country. Do so without delay.
1t would be madness 10 think of marriage now.
Farewell! VIRGIE.
After studying this for a long time
Mr.. Barnes was forced to admit that
the whole affair was as great mystery
as ever.

years old, son of respected family OF

morning by hanging himself with rub
Der hose. The determination Of the lad
to end his life was shown by the posi-

had stretched, but the boy pulled up
his feet and slowly strangled to death.
No cause has been ascertained why he
took his life.

Friend of the Farmer.

The present head of the Agricultural
Department is an interesting man and
has a history filled with interesting expe-
riences. Tall, slender, gray, rugged in
appearance, with a Scotch accent which
has chung to him since his arrival in this
country in childhood, he is a typical rep
resentative of what sturdy integrity and
unbending will can accomplish. There
are so many interesting things to be said
of ''Tama JIM" who gets this title be-
cause his home in Iowa was in Tama
County, and it became necessary to in
some way identify him as against an
other James Wilson in his own State, that
it is difficult to know just where to begin
and where to end in writing of him. The
Washington Star, however, in a lengthy
article published a few days ago, selects
a number of unique features in his history
and some equally interesting chats with
Mr.. Wilson.

The bad effect of the election of Grover

which have rejected the silver standard In
the past year is more than three times as
great as that of all those taking this step
during the ten years previous. From 1885

RECALLS CLEvELAND'S RECORD
Ex-President Is Reminded of His Own
Party's Delay in Tariff Legis,atiou.

IA Tcstuent Is KEN ina ed of His Own
Party's Delay in Tariff Legislation.
Somebody with good memory has TAX
en- occasion to remind ex-President C,eve-
land and the public who read his scold at
the Republican party because of its
promptness in carrying out its pledges
with reference to tariff legislation, of the
terrible experience of the people of the
United States during the eighteen months
in which his own party delayed its tariff
legislation. This reminder was brought
forth by Mr.. Cleveland's New York
speech, in which he criticised the Repub,i-
can leaders for their "hot haste" in tax
ing up tariff legislation. The eighteen
months which elapsed between Mr.. Cleve-
lands Inauguration in 1893 and the enact
ment of his free trade tariff law included
more than 10000 failures. with liabilities
aggregating more than 500 million dollars;
the closing down of over 800 banks: the
appointment of receivers for about forty
railroads, whose indebtedness amounted
to billion and half dollars. and strikes
and lockouts costing the workingmen en-
gagged 40 million dollars in wages lost.
The total record of the eighteen months
includes strikes in New York and Michi-
gan in March, 1893: strikes in Chicago
in April; strikes and bank failures in Hi
nois and Ohio in May; runs on savings
banks in Western States in June; suspen-
sion of work in mines and numerous bank
failures throughout the West in July; fail
