Dismal Swamp improvement.


The Dismal Swamp canal, which is
now being enlarged and improved by
Baltimore and P liladelphia capitalists,
begins six miles from Norfolk, Va, at
Deep creek. 1t runs to Elizabeth City,
N. 9 q distance of forty miles. The
old canal was thirty-two feet wide.
with four feet depth of water. The
proposed improvements will make it
practically a new canal. The old had
i've locks, and barges 100 feet long and
sixteen feet wide, drawing three feet
OF water could pass. The prism is be-
ing enlarged to Il width of forty feet in
the bottom and sixty feet at the sur
face, with a minimum water depth Of
ten feet. Two enlarged and Improves
locks-One at ei her end of the canal
will take the pl,ce Of the five locks Of
the old waterway. Each of the new
locks is to be $50 feet long, forty feet
wide, with ten feet OF water above the
inter sill. There will be three sets of
steel gates worked by powerful ma.
chinery and so arranged as to pass
boats quickly through. Ten turnouts
also are to be constructed. each twenty
feet at the bottom and 200 feet in
length, aud for distance Of 1000 feet
before reaching the locks the canal is
to have width of eighty feet in the
bottom OF the prism. by this means
provision is being made not only for
speed Of ten miles an hour, but for the
accommodation of many boats at once.
1t is estimated that barges towed by
steam tugs can make the passage from
Elizabeth City to Norfolk in six hours,
and that fast river steamers can go
over the distance in about four hours. |

Electric Bitters.

Electric Bitters is q medicine suited for any
season, but perhaps more generally needed,
when the languid exhausted feeling prevails,
when the liver Is torpid and sluggish and the
need OF tonic and Alternative is felt. A prompt
use of this medicine has often averted long and
perhaps fatal bilious fevers. No medicine viii

In regard to superfuous eating. Pop
ular Science says; The total amount of
food needed for repair, for growth and
for heating, physiology teaches us, is
much less than is generally imagined,
and it impresses us with the truth of
the great surgeon Abernethy's saying,
that zone fourth of what we eat keeps
us and the other three fourths we keep
at the peril Of our lives" Inwinter We
burn up the surplus food with a limited
amount Of extra exertion. In summer
we get rid of it literally at some extra
risk to health, and, of course, to life.
We cannot burn it. Our vital furnaces
are banked. and We worry the most i'm
portant working organs with the extra
exertion OF removing what would bet.
ter never have heea taken into the
stomach.

But when physical weakness or disease is
added to woman's burden it becomes al
together too heavy. No woman can be
cheerful or hopeful who Is dragged down
BY continual pain and physical wretch
edness.
The special weaknesses peculiar to the
feminine organism are comparatively easv
to overcome If the earlier symptoms are
given proper attention. But if allowed to
80 unchecked, they are liable to develop
into serious, chronic complications.
Any woman afflicted with these delicate
ailments ought to have the immediate aid
Of DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. It is
perfect and unfailing specific for all dis
eases of the feminine organs. Il was de-
vised for this one purpose, and accomp-
!ishes this purpose as no other medicine
has ever done.
For nearly 80 years DR.. Pierce has been
chief consulting physician of the Invalids'
Hotel and Surgical Institute, at Buffalo,
N: Y, where in conjunction with his staff
OF associate specialists, he has successfully
treated many thousand cases of "female
complaint"
No physician living has had a more ex-
tended opportunity to study this class of
diseases in actual practice. No medicine
ever invented has done for women what his
Favorite Prescription has,

after his wife had reiterated her deter
mination never to live with him again
Fees shot her, her mother and his
sister.in law, Miss johnson, and his

Carelessness in girlhood causes the
greatest suffering and unhappiness in
after life. Little irregularities and
and weaknesses in girls should be look
ed after promptly and treatment given
at once. DIR. Pierce's Favorite Pre-
scription promotes regularity of all
feminine functions, makes strength
and builds up a sturdy health with
which to meet the trials to come. The
Favorite Prescription is not univer-
sal panacea. 1t is good for but one
thing. 1t is directed solely at one set
of organs.

The New Orleans Times Democrat
says: New Orleans broke the record
last week, this time in the matter Of
martality. The death rate per 1000
for the whites was only 14.98, and for
all, white and black, only 1880, the
lowest reported at the board of health
for a number of years. The mortality
was even lower than it appears, be
cause it is for week when New Or
leans was filledwlth carnival visitors,
and when its poplation was far above
the average, and 1t is further to be re-
membered that at this season there are
many persons in delicate health visit
ing the city because Of its mild caimAte
spring wzlch prevails In many parts Of
the North.
