troubled with constipation and piles, and
had a severe chronic cough. In short. life
was a burden and death would have been

took only a few doses of his life-giving
herbs to knock all the skepticism out Of
me. In just five weeks the doctor pronoun-

that 1 was never healthier and never felt
better in my life. My sight and hearing
are both fully restored: that obnoxious
cough, constipation and piles are entirely
cured, and l am rapidly gaining in flesh,

IN INrEnEsriNG NOTION.

There are those who think that when some young or old women marry old soldiers they lightly turn to thoughts of a pension rather than to thoughts of love. This notion has even penetrated the Pension department, and the com missioner of pensions has been 'm- pressed by it, He says: l think con- gress should take prompt action in pre- venting a multiplication of pensions through the marriage of old soldiers, A good many people think that the prospective pension as the widow of a girls to marry aged men for whom they care nothing except to have pension for the balance of their lives. It seems to me that the practice is a bad one, and l hope congress will take this matter in hand and pass legislation to prevent a apenson being given widows of soldiers of the last war who marry the soldiers in the future. Instances have been re- ported to the bureau of pensions which show that women have married pen- sioners on their deathbeds in order that widows pension might be secured. This declaration will raise some inn portant questions. One of them is, is lovely Woman as mercenary as all that? Another is, should not old sol diers have "the comforts of a home" even if there are never-dying pensioned widows?

THE YELLow EEvEn soAnE.

There is no doubt that the people of the South are seriously disturbed by the outbreak of yellow fever at Ocean Springs, Mississippi, and knowing what they do about the ravages of the disease their fright is not to be won dered at. But the chances seem to be good that the fever will not do much harm, and that it will soon be on the wane. In former years, when any serious epidemic has occurred, the first outbreak has always been earlier than this by six weeks or more. In 1S47 the date of the first appearance of the fever was the 23d of July. That was the latest on record. Tn 1853 it began as early as May B. In 1877, 1855, 1858 and 1867 it began in June. The fact that the scourge has postponed it's ap- pearance this year till September has deceived those who were watching for it; but, on the other hand. it holds forth a better hope that it may be stamped out promptly Early frosts are among the things to be expected in view of the peculiarities of the season thus far; and although the re- currence of epidemics in successive years has not been unknown, and has given rise to the feeling that frost does not kill the germs of the disease, there is no doubt that a sharp, cold snap, fol- lowed by a period of cool weather, would put it under control for this year at least
 The authorities seem to be wide awake and are acting with skill and efficiency. It will be surprising if their well-directed work doesn't soon tell.

AMERICAN CLOTHS.

A large manufacturer of clothing in
 Philadelphia says that he intends, as far as possible, to use only American
 cloths, because he is convinced that
 they are of better quality for ready made clothing than imported goods. He
 says that under the Dingley law the home product can be manufactured and sold as cheapiy as the foreign. The
 consumer will thus derive the benefit
 of being able to purchase superior clothing cheaply. He will have the sat- isfaction too, of knowing that he is not
 wearing stuffs composed in part of im- ported shoddy and that thousands of American workmen are employed in American mills turning out the pro- duct for the home market There are some grades of cloth that we have nev- CT made in this country, but which can
 be made now that adequate protection has been provided. They are the more expensive French and English fabrics that are used only by custom tailors. These will always be imported to a
 greater or less extent because there are some Americans who think that the imported goods are better than our
 own. It is pleasant to reflect that the foreign manufacturers have to pay
 something into the governments treas
 ury for the privilege of doing business with such men. A suit of clothes made
 of cloth manufactured by American l workingmen in an American factory from American wool is as good a suit as any man need want to wear. It | will outwear two of the cheap shoddy affairs and will look twice as well.

FEAR OF LIGHTNING.
The Electric Bolt Frightens Many, H

The Electric Bolt Frightens Many. Hits
 Few and Kills Still Fewer.
 A current news item gives the results cf an investigation carried out by Dr. c. Stanley Hall, president of Clark uni versity, on the things that most excite fear in people. Of the 29S classes of ob- jects of fear to which 1,707 persons con- fessed, thunder and lightning led all the rest, although in certain localities as. for instance, those subject to cyclones, etc, the fear of the latter predominates. It may be accepted as probably true that thunder storms constitute the most pronounced source of fear with the ma jority of people, due, no doubt, to the always impressive and not infrequently overpowering nature of the phenome- ncn But is there any justification in fact for this fear so far as fatal results are concerned?
 We believe there is not, but on the contrary that many other causes which barely have place in Dr. Halls list are infinitely more entitled to the distinction as fear producers than lightning. As proof of this we may cite statistics of the United States Weather Bureau. These show that for the four years loJu-Jo IIl6 uedlUS lIUIl llSHlUlllS numbered 7S4, or an average of 196 a year. Again, H. F. KretZer Of St. Lou is found from the record of nearly 200 newspapers that for the five years 1SS3- SS there were 1030 deaths caused by lightning, or an average of POS year
 He doubts whether, of the number of deaths classed as ''accidental'' in the whole United States, any one group can show so small a number. In New York city alone over 200 people are drowned every year, while nearly 150 are burned or scalded to death, and close on to 800 persons meet their end by falls of one kind or another. Comparing the record of 200 lightning fatalities for the whole country with the above records for New York city, with it's total of nearly 1,500 accidental deaths every year, it will be seen how groundless is the popular fear of lightning. It is a survival, an inherited superstition.
 But there is another point in connec- ton with this matter which ought to be particularly comforting to city dwellers, albeit country dwellers may not be affected in like manner, and that | is, that statistics show that the risk of | lightning is five times greater in the country than in the city. The cause of this immunity for city dwellers is not | far to seek. It is doubtless due to the | predominance of metal roofs, the we'll

hnitely more than the horde of colored place-hunters who beslege party com mittees for Influence" or appointing officers for favors in the name of the oolored vote, and who thus intensity the responsiveness of one of the most baneful features of our political life, In this respect nothing more helpful can happen to the colored people than that all the government employments be put under civil service rules so that every colored citizen who gets an ap- pointment be known to have obtained it on account of his individual merit, in free competition on an equal footing with other citizens, white or black, and that he is therefore fairly and honor- ably entitled to it. Places so won will indeed be marks of real proficiency and distinction, and raise the colored people in that public esteem which above all things they need.
 These are true words, but they will not have much effect on the negroes who have "a pull" and who find pleas ure and profit in working it.

grounded water pipes in houses, and probably as much as anything to the protective network of overhead electric wires of all kinds. The popular belief that stroke of lightning is invariably fatal Is also not borne out by facts. h. deed, one record specially devoted to this feature shows that of PIP persons struck, only "A were killed. Taking 1t all in all. there seems to be no more groundless popular fear than that of lightning. Indeed, if one can go by sta- tisties, the risk of meeting death by a horse kick in New York is over 50 per cent. greater than that of death by lightning.
 Yet with all the weight of statistics against its deadliness, lightning will probably continue to scare people as heretofore. Perhaps, after all, there may be a more direct cause than the mere psychological one usually ascribed to it, and that is the fact that many people of nervous temperament are af- fected hours before the approach of thunder storm and thus rendered par ticularly powerless to stand the strain which more or less affects the most phlegmatic natures during disturb ance in the eavens.-Electrical Engl- neer,

SOME GOOD 1DTICE.

In many places political negroes are acting very much like political white men. They are saying that they are not in politics for their health, that the negro vote must be considered, and that the best way to consider it is to put them in office. They are making some impression, and it will probably not be long. if they continue to kick, before the negro vote will get full and cordial rec ognition. But Carl Schurz, who was a friend of the negro when he didn't have as many friends as he has now, thinks that the negro can do better than go into politics. He says: A goodly num- Der of negroes achieving distinction as lawyers, or as physicians, or as min- isters, or as educators, or as business men, will, by the impression produced by public opinion, effect far more for the political advancement of their race than ever so many negro politicians getting themselves elected to congress or appointed to other offices, and in-

We are immensely amused with him. It is several days since We found him, and he gets livelier every day.

two bands of insertion ran from yoke to hem on the skirt. The sleeves were ac- cordeon pleated and were finished with lace ruffies and epaulettes. It would be difficult to design anything daintier for the purpose, and it would prove very pretty if made of cheaper stuffs and with less liberal trimming.
 An exceptionally suitable wedding gown for a slender bride was made princess of ivory satin, the lines of the figure being emphasized by wreaths and scrolls of appliqued lace, The bod ice was cut low, the curve at the cut out being carefully designed to suggest the possibilities of the figure. Straps of the satin passed low over the shoulder The neck was filled in with the finest silk lawn laid in tiny tucks, the tucks running straight up to the curved-over top of the high collar, giving an effect of great grace and length of neck. Sleeves of closely drawn lawn, all a fluff of frlls as they escaped from un- der the satin straps, hardly showed the gleam of the under sleeves of satin. About the foot of the skirt was a full ruche of lawn caught here and there with orange blossoms. A spray of or ange blossoms was set on one shoulder and passed down over the hip, ~and of course, the veil was caught with blos- sons. One charm about this wedding gown is that it will serve perfectly as a ball dress later while for it's purpose it avoided all the usual stiff unbecoming- ness of the wedding rig,
