Never before in medical annals has any
medicine received such widespread praise and
endorsement from physicians, druggists and
all classes of the people as is bestowed upon
the great curer of disease, DR., Greenes Nerv-
IRA blood and nerve remedy. 1t puriies and
iavigorates the blood, making pure, rich, red
blood, and it is therefore the grandest of blood
medicines. 1t gives life, strength, energy,
power and vigor to the brain and nerves, and
hence is the greatest nerve tonic, brain invig-
grant and nerve restorative ever before known
IN the worlds history. 1t banishes headache,
backache, neuralgia, rheumatism, and has thus
demonstrated itself to be the surest and quick
est pain relieyer in existence. 1t cures stomach,
liver, kidney and female complaints with q
positive certainty which is unequaled and I'M
rivaled, and which has caused weak, nervous,
tired out, sleepless, run down and debiltated
sufferers everywhere to recognize DR.. Greene
Nervura blood and nerve remedy as indeed
the King of Medicines.

possible to take because it cures the people-it

supplied to bees during the working
season. The bees in the field do not need
TO use the water for themselves, but
they need it to mix with pollen to feed
the brood. Bees that are not feeding
brood do not need water, but when
there is brood in the hive, water and a
little salt should be given them. Put
handful of salt in pail of water and
pour it into tight grocery box, then
cover the box. The water will-slow-

the bees can sip 1t up without drowning.

Exercise for Laying Hens.
Do not forget that your fowls Feed ex
crcise. 1t is easier to kill off flock of
good fowls than to make them work all
day for their grub. To feed them is all
right at any other season, but at this
season they ought to be at work, unless
in the case of hens sitting or raising
brood of young ones. If the fowls are
to be fed, the grain should be thrown
into pen where the hens will have to
scratch for it.-Dakota Field and Farm.

Just here that new feature was intro

and four or five joined in the fracas. The
women yelled and some one turned out
the lights. Jim, the rouster, escaped in
the darkness, and took basket with
him as he went, and when an old negro
struck a match Uncle Mosby and Elder
Jenkins were fighting over in corner,
each thinking that the other was Jim.
When peace was restored it was dis
covered that seven baskets were miss

ARCTIC EXPLORATIONS.

Hugh J. Lee, the Arctic explorer, of Meriden, has decided definitely to ac- company Lieutenant Peary to the Arc tic regions once more. He settled his plans Saturday, and will soon prepare for the trip. The expedition this sum- mer is not for the purpose of reaching the north pole, but to make preliminary arrangements for the expedition of 1898, when Peary will start out for an ex- tended tour. While away this summer the party will make an attempt to se- cure the meteorite on the Labrador coast, and while the work is going on plans will be perfected for the north pole trip year later.

MINIsrERs DISCUSS REFORMS
Cameras Scheme agreed Upon at a Meet.
ing of the Cabinet


Cameras Scheme agreed Upon at Meet
ing of the Cabinet.
LONDON, ENG, Feb. 3.-The Standard
tomorrow will print dispatch from its
Madrid correspondent, saying that at a
Cabinet meeting held to-day the Minis
ters discussed for several hours the
scheme of reforms for Cuba prepared by
Senior Canovas del Castillo, the Spanish
Premier, and Colonial Minister Castel-
lano.
The reforms include broader municipal
and provincial administrative decentrali-
zation than the recently formulated re-
forms for Porto Rico.
The principal featuh of the plan is the
creation of a local assembly styled the
council OF administration, consisting of
twenty-one members part of whom shall
be elected by direct limited franchise and
part by corporations and commercial in
terests in a similar manner to that in
which the Spanish Senate is elected.
The powers of the Govern General are
much developed under the scheme, but
the Cuban chamber will be empowered to
make colonial tariff on the condition of
always securing high protection for
Spanish imports.
Apart from this concession, the chamber
will only have the control of local affairs,
the Cortez continuing to vote the budgets
and conclude all legislative treaties.
The Cuban representation in the Senate
and Cham Der of Deputies will remain un-
altered.
A dispatch received by news agency
here says the scheme of reforms was
finally agreed upon by the Ministers and
will be signed by Queen Regent Chris tina
tomorrow (February a.. This dispatch,
however, gives no details of the reforms
