III health is luxury that only the rich can afford, and that no one can en- joy. Every woman Is not so situated that she can be an interesting invalid, or rather, an uninteresting invalid, for there never was an interesting one.
 The woman who suffers from weakness md disease of the distinctly feminine or gans is certain to become an invalid. No woman can suffer in this way and be healthy, happy, arniable wife and a compe- tent mother. Troubles of this nature sap the strength, rack the nerves paint lines of suffering upon tue face, destroy the tem- per, make the once bright eyes dull and the once active brain sluggish, and trans form a vivacious woman into weak, siekly invalid.
 The one sure, speedy, permanent cure for all disorders of the distinctly feminine nature is Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. 1t acts directly on the delicate and import ant organs concerned, and makes them strong, healthy, vigorous and elastic.

Mine Mules on a vacation.

From the New Lexington Tribune.
The superintendent of the Sweet Springs
mine undertook a thorough renovation of
the mine the day after the miners went
out on strike and the first step prepara-
tory to cleaning up was to remove the
mules from the underground stables and
put them out on pasture.
Some of them had not been out of the
mine for months, a number had been be-
low the surface for two or three years,
and one had not seen the sunshine for
seven years-as long as Jacob served for
Leah.
They were led from the mine, twenty
seven patient creatures, and turned loose
in Morrison's pasture field. They stood
about close together, knec-deep in lush
green grass, and sweet red clover, with
dropping heads and eyes half closed, as
though dazed by their sudden change of
circumstances. At last, as the sun drop
ped down behind Bowman's hill, one gray
old veteran threw up his head and shifted
at the fine, fragrant air blowing down the
valley, and in moment a little move
ment went through The whole group.
The old leader wheeled about sharply
took a long look at the clear sky above
the brawling little brook chattering over
the stones, the grass and the trees,
then he drew up his head, stiffened his
tail, and sent forth a prolonged, penetrat-
ing, strident heehaw-awaw, which woke
the echoes over on Maple Ridge, and with
an awkward, numbering bound, he started
Down the long slope.
In an instant the whole mass had sepa-
rated, and was in motion. Such running.
racing, kicking and jumping We're never
before seen-stiff knees, dim eyes and spa
vined joints all forgotten in the pure en-
joyment of out of doors. They brayed
and beloved. ran and kicked, stopped for
breath. then began again.
The whole village gathered at the fence
to see the fun; the men and boys laughed
and shouted the babies crowded, and one
or two women cried little, for there
were sores and weakness and lameness in
plenty.
When night fell they were still rolling
about and racing, forgetful Of the hunger
and thirst that might be satisfied by the
running stream and grass.
Old Mrs Bascom, who lives at the edge
of the pasture field, was awakened in the
dark hours toward morning by the rapid
rush of hoofs laundering down the hill
side and, turning over on her pillow, size
murmured. drowsily; Dear Lord, who
would although that any Twin critter
would be so glad and thankful for moth
in but air and freedom"

WAR REVENUE BILL.
Democratic Members Settle Upon
Amendments to BE Proposed.

Democratic Members Settle Upon
Amendments to BE Proposed.
Washington. May 5.-The Democratic
members of the Senate finance commit
tee held a conference late this afternoon
and agreed upon an amendment they Will
offer TO the war revenue bill imposing a
tax of per cent upon the revenues of GER
press, sleeping car, telegraph and tele-
phone companies.
This probably is the only addition they
viii suggest to the revenue portion of the
bill, but il is probable that they will also
urge the coinage of the silver seigniorage
in the treasury and the issuance of at
least $150.O00,000 in greenbacks These two
latter propositions have not been agreed
upon, but they have been discussed suffi-
GENTLY to warrant the prediction that
they will be Incorporated in the Demo-
cratic substitute for the bond feature of
the bill.
The seignorage amounts TO about $42,-
100000 and the intention is to authorize
the issuance of certificates for it, so as to
secure immediate money and not wait on
the coinage of the silver. These certif-
Gates, with the greenbacks, would give
1892 100000 of immediate cash, and the
Democrats think this would be sufficient
for the immediate wants of the government.
They believe that the tax they propose on
corporations would increase The regular
revenues 20 the extent of about $4,000, 900
annually.
The Republican members of the commit
tee to-day considered the ACCESSIBILITY of a
tax upon the transfers of stocks and
bonds. and it is probable that they will
propose such an amendment. as it Is be-
lieved that if Incorporated in the bill. il
would so far toward reconciling Senator
Wolcott to the measure

FUNDS ron THE POSTAL SERVICE
A Total of 500, 234.OOO Carried by the
Augmentation Bill.

Washington, May 5.-During almost the
entire session to-day the Senate had un-
der consideration the postoffice appropria-
ton bill. The measure carries $99, 234, COO
being very much the heaviest of ali the
appropriation bills.
The most important action taken upon
the measure was the adoption of an
amendment offered by Mr. Tillman of
South Carolina. reducing the number of
deliveries of mail in all cities of the coun-
try to a number not exceeding four each
day.
The amendment was sharply antagoniz-
ed as a blow to the business interests in
the large cities. but the feeling of the
Senate was such that, despite the Wig
orous opposition it prevailed by a decisive
majority.
A lively debate was precipitated by a
committee amendment striking out an ap-
preparation of 100000 for rural delivery.
The proposition was discussed for nearly
two hours, MIR. Chandler of New Harp-
shire and Mr.. Butler of North Carolina
leading the fight in favor of rural deliv-
cry. BY the close vote of % to %, how .ver.
the committee was sustained, and the bill
now carries no appropriation for such de-
livery.
An important amendment to the bill was
one which wiz prevent the star route con-
tractors from sub-letting their contracts
