A CHEERFUL WOMAN.
From the Democrst RraziI Ind

From the Democrat, Brazil, Ind.
Every woman cannot be beautiful, but q
cheerful face often supplies the deficiency.
But no one can be cheerful and bring JOY to
others unless they have perfect health. For
tunateIy, science has placed this priceless
boon within the reach of every woman as
the following incident proves:
Mrs. Amanda Robinson, wife of William
Robinson, farmer and stockman, near
TOWNSVILLE, Clay County, Ind, is thirty
two years old and had for several years been
in declining health and respondent. For
three months she was not only unable to
attend to her domestic duties, but too feeble
to be up and about. To-day she is in good
health and able to attend to her household
affairs. She relates her experience as fol-
lows:
81 was afflicted with female troubles and
was in delicate state of health. l lost my
appetite, grew thin and was greatly de-
pressed. After taking various remedies
without being benefited / was induced by a
friend to try DR.. Williams Pink Pills.

CHANCES FOR MARRIAGE.
Table Prepared for
the Information of Spinsters
and widows.

A benevolent writer with a weakness
for statistics has published the result
of studious investigation in registry Of
fees and other records of Woman's
chance of marriage. The term woman
is elastic. She may be maiden from
Is to Is or a widow from 81 to so and,
according to these cheerful statistics,
still stand chance of drawing a mat
rimonial prize. The best time for a
spinster to marry-or, at least, the time
when she has the greatest number of
opportunities the period between
her twenty-fifth and twenty-niDth
years. One out of eight spinsters mar
ries at this age. Next best to this is the
period between 20 and "a, when one in
Is marries; then comes from 80 to "a,
when one in % marries. Between the
ages of 35 and 80 statistics show only
one marriage in %. After 40 the chances
are not encouraging, although more
women between the ages of 40 and so
marry than do girls between the ages
of - and 10, one in 70 being the poor
showing for the Observation-Disclosures
misses.
But these facts are not the only ones
of interest to minated women that
statistics show. For instance, so that
no time may be lost by the husband
hunting maid, the statistician points
out that it is folly for woman to waste
her energy trying to entrap man of
some ages, whereas if she directed her
attention to another sort of man she
might find a conquest ready to her
hand. AS an illustration of this a
bachelor of from 25 to 80 is worth to
A woman-as marrying man-50 young
bachelors Of from Is to 10, for the
chance of the older man marrying with
in one year is so times as great as the
chance of one of the Younger men.
Then, more common instance, bach
elor of from 25 to 35 is worth three
times as much to any woman-as a
marrying man-as a bachelor from 35
to IS.
1t is encouraging to learn that the ex-
cess of spinsters is only rs to every
l 900 bachelors. But to offset this is
the disquieting fact that there are 23O
widows to every leo widowers, which,
the statistician admits, docs tend to

who wish to marry" The spinster of
from Is to "a is more apt to marry a
bachelor than a widower; at ages "a
to A her chance of bachelors is still
better than with widowers, but after
rs she has to take a widower or re-
main single, and even then her offers
are not as numerous as those of the
widow. The best time for widow who
wishes to we'd a bachelor is from Is to
"a; after "a she has a better chance
to marry a widower. The chances of
spinsters over 30 marrying are very slim
with those of widows Of the |
same age. For instance, between the |
ages of 81 and Al 81 spinste1s marry, |
while 55 widows marry. The difference |
here is hardly noticeable, but it in
creases with every year. Between the |
ages of As and So there are rs widows |
md % spinsters married.; between So |
and 65 80 widows marry and only 70 |

Deafness Cannot Re Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an infamed condition of the mu-
cous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets infamed you have rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to it's normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases of of ten are caused by catarrh
which is nothing but an infiamed condition
of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deafness (caused by catarrh that
cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure.

THE CAMP IN CONFUSION.
But Order Is Being Brought Out
of Chaos.
Small Conflict the Cause--Federal and
State Authorities Out of Harmony.
Condition of Tennessee Troops.

NASHVILLE, May 6.-The Tennessee
volunteers now concentrated in Nash
vile could certainly be in better con-
ditiOn, and the trouble is unquestion-
ably the Legitimate result of poor or
ganiZation. For instance, there is to-
night no head" to the Third Regiment,
yet it has been in camp since Tuesday,
and its organization has been slated.
But the chances are that all would
now be running smoothly had not a
clash between Federal and State au-
thOrities occurred. Numerous com
plant. of almost every character have
been made by officers and privates
alike, and about the only one which
has not justification is that as to lack
of rations. All the men have plenty to
eat, but some of the officers are more
Shifty than others, and therefore their
companies get somewhat the best end
Of the food proposition. The boys have
not had sufficient blankets and com
forts since they arrived in camp, but
they are consoled and assured by the
pleasant statement from Uncle Sans
commissary agent, now in charge, that
all will be supplied before the war is
over. Five hundred blankets were sent
out tonight.
The clash came on from the fact that
Lieut.. Seay construed his orders from
the war department to mean that Ten
nessee was not in it so long as the gov
eminent footed the bills. The latter
was not Objectionable to State officials
so long as the men were we'll cared for,
but day before yesterday Gov. Taylor,
believing that they had not been
treated properly, brought the matter
directly before the Washington author
tiles. None of the chief officers call it
a clash, nor does Gov. Taylor, but the
fact remains that State Guard officers
and government officers are not har.
-nonious. On this subject the governor
said:
