oldest brother, who was dentist, ex-
tracted every tooth from her mouth.
About year ago her health commenc-
ed to materially improve. Her strength
rapidly returned, her figure became
more erect, her eyes brighter, her
movements more elastic. Her hair
also became perceptibly darker. Her
gums commenced to swell and finally
new teeth appeared. The change in q
year is said to be astonishing. Her
hair is now black. She has new and
substantial set of teeth as white and
strong as maiden's. Her vitality is
greatly increased her strength has re-
turned, and her appearance is said to
suggest her age as 10 instead of more
than twice that number of years. She
is q woman of refinement and OF ad-
mirable qualities, and her apparent
new lease on life is subject of sincere
generalization among her neighbors.

A number of senators and delegates
are receiving kilograms aud letters
from insurance. agents in their dlstric's
asking them to use their influence
against the bill. Several visiting insuT-
ance men are here trying to defeat the

"When I went to my room in the
Lexington Hotel last night to retire
found an insurance man from my town
fast asleep 10 my bed" said q member
Of the Senate oday.
"Did he get in there by accident?
asked q member of the House.
No; ne was just 'layin'' for me, re-
piled the senator.
So says Richmond newspaper. The
people will see from this that the agents
of the insurance combine are doing
"their level best for what they be-
lieve to be the interests of their en-
ployers, the insurers; is it not time for
the insured .e be looking out for theirs?
kilograms and letters should pour in
on senators and delegates from their
constituents, reminding them that by
the principles of tins democratic party,
all combines and monopolies are to be
discouraged and destroyed if possible,
and that, though their agents may have
very persuasive ways and present very
specious reasons for them, the people
will speak at the next election in a very
decided manner and request oil who do
not carry out democratic principles to
step down and out.

If THE prosperity of country be
gagged by the amount of wages its
laborers receive. and all intelligent
writer's on the subject agree that it is,
the United Safes must be in anything
else than prosperous condition now
And, worst of all for the advocates of o
high tariff, wages are lower and more
people are idle in the protected indus
tries than in any other. In the very
home town of Mr.. Dingley, the author
of the tariff bill now in operation, there
are more idle laborers than at any
previous time in its history. Nothing
is palmer than the indisputable fact
that u country cannot be taxed into
