as sleeplessness blood impurity and
the nervous diseases that are likely to
follow such daily poisoning of the sys-
tenn.
Paine's celery compound by fits pro-
nounced nourisfing power enables the
| nerves to get back their control over;
the circulation so that the blood sup
ply, becomes greatest where it is most
needed, as in the stomach after eating
and least where it's presence can only
do harm, as in the brain when sleep is
| needfui.
The nerves, when they' are strong
| and properly nourished, limit the flow
| of blood 20 the head and draw off the
excess from the brain, thus ensuring
refreshing sleep. Persons who wake
up tired, drowsy and ambitionless or
| can not sleep a whole night through
are suffering from disordered nerves.
Paine's celery compound calms and
| feeds the nerves even to their tiniest
| branchings, and they in their turn are
| enabled to equalize the blood supply
| over the body, thus sparing the heart.
| preventing congestions and rushes OF
blood to the head dizziness, paralysis,
pain over the heart, and those head
aches that seem to come and go with
| plcable to hosts of men and women.
1t thus indirectly, but none the less
surely, relieves the dangerous press
ure on the kidneys and heart which
eventually leads to their rapid deteri-
| Grafton and breakdown.
| This great invigorator is a long step
! forward in the definite cure of nervous
diseases and disorders that are induced
by an insufficiently nourished system.
! 1t is possible to name, without hesita-
| ton, several diseases that have been
| repeatedly traced to such impoverish-
ment of the blood-nervous dyspepsia,
| a run down" physical condition, loss
| of appetite, nervousness, heart trouble,
| tired feelings and a despondent outlook
| upon life. To rid the body of such
| evidences of trouble within, ii is neces-
sary to stop the friction among the
| nervous tissues that is pulling down
it's healthy tone. The remedy is
PGine's celery compound.

CATACOMBs UP TO DATE.
TOmbs of Christian Martyrs Now In
spected by Electric Light.
From the Pail Mall Gazette.


The visitor to Italy complains Of mod
ern steam tugs on the grand canal in
Venice, and the new-fangled ideas of
cleanliness in the streets of Naples and
the new quarters in Rome, but the
height of the prosaic seems to have
been reached with the illumination of
the catacombs by electric light. No
more dim distances, in which one must
take care not to be lost, no more monk
guides holding lighted tapers, no more
darkness, mystery and imagination.
This being the feast of st. Cecilia, the
catacombs of st. Calixtus, where the
Roman virgin was buried in 1T A. D..
were today for the first time all glow
ing and glaring with thousands of elec-
trio globes, and giving to the whole
a mundane rather than a mystic air.
These catacombs are outside the
Porta San Sebastiano, on the magnifi-
cent Appian way, that the Romans
called the Queen road, and near the
world-renowned tomb of Cecilia Me-
tella. st. Cecilia Is not the only promi-
nent martyr of the early Christian era
whose name is connected with this
burial place, for the remains lie there
of several popes of the third century,
as witness the original tombs of st.
Antherus, st. Fabian, st. Lucius, st.
Cornelius and st. Eutychianus, who all
sat in the chair of st. Peter.
Thousands Of Romans and foreign-
ers have today visited this sacred spot.
The crowd itself formed picturesque
view, as from below one looked up at
the pilgrims descending and ascending
the long steep fight of stairs or at
the long professions of cowled monks
and black-robed nuns, showing in vivid
contrast to groups of students or the
German College in their scarlet gowns.
garb that causes them to be called
in fun the little cardinals. The corri-
dors responded i'm echoes to their chants
at the different affairs, while there was
subdued hum from the less devout
sightseer. What would be unperceived
by the visitor If he We're not prein-
formed is that the five miles of corri-
dors and chapels are not on the same
level, but form three different floors,
one under the other. The most inter-
esting spot is where st. Cecilia's tomb
was found, and whore also stands
copy of the statue of the saint, de-.
signed by Maderno, representing her
after her martyrdom. Next stands a
most interesting marble tablet, the in
scIlp'ioH Oh Nhlch was oiiSH'a'iS
pagan one dedicated to Marcus Au-
relius. The Christians utilized the tab
let by turning it and writing on the
back new epitaph to Pope st, Da-
mascus.
Bones and skeletons of the ancient
martyrs are found all along the walls,
in three rows, one above the other The
lower room is the more disturbed, as
almost every one tries to take some
thing away as a sacred relic, But the
electric light on these bones turns the
catacombs into a museum.

Twenty-Five years is long time, es-
pecially for woman TO work in the
CALLING harness of metropolitan news
paper.
Such is the record of Mrs. Cromwell,
vice president of the Woman's nation

the Chicago Herald. As Washington
correspondent she telegraphed to her
paper the daily reports of the proceed
ings of the famous electoral commits
sion of 1871
A quarter of a century of racing work
like this has enabled Mrs. Cromwell to
know what "nerves" mean. Her faith
in Paine's celery compound to restore

aside:-

Wells, Richardson Co.:
Gentlemen-A young lady residing in
my family, who had tried various rem
edies for nervous debility and depleted
condition of the system, found great
and permanent relief from the use Of
Fane's celery compound. I can there
fore recommend this excellent remedy
to those in need of treatment of the
same kind. Ellen S. Cromwell.
Women have their health much more
largely in their own hands than they
are accustomed to believe.
The impure blood that undermines
the stomach and the nervous system
can be unquestonably enriched; the
number of the red corpuscules increas-
ed, and the circulation cieansed of hu-
mors by Paine's celery compound.
Sleeplessness that causes much Of the
nervous prostration among women is

the bad habit the brain has fallen in

of Paine's celery compound at meet
ing of the Dartmouth faculty, showed
how closely he had studied, in all their
bearings upon health. such disorders

1t is seldom that so many people
have been interested in an out of
town musical or social event as in the
Guilmant concert to take place in
Wilkes Barre next Friday night 1t is
now probable that betw cen three hun
dred and four hundred music lovers will
go down from this city. A special train
returning at the convenience of the
party has been engaged. 1t is prob
able that an informal reception will be
given at the close of the concert in
DIR. Pearce's church. The fact that the
great organist had been engaged for
a concert in Scranton may not be gem
orally known. Much disappointment
was felt by those who were aware Of
the facts that the auditorium in which
the programme was to be given could
not be secured. DR.. Pearce and his
board of trustees Immediately seized
upon the opportunity and made ar
rangement for the date above mem

STARVING FOR PLEASURE.

Prolonged hunger is without doubt the most terrible suffering to which the human frame can be exposed. said a physician recently, to the writer. Yet I have known cases where a man has actually, of his own free will, deprived himself of the necessities of life, al though well able to procure them. do not speak of professional fasting men, but what may be termed anna teurs.
 Not very long ago a we'll known young fellow in society very nearly killed himself in this way. He made heavy wager that he would abstain from food of any sort for the period of seven days, drinking only a little water during that time. At the end of the third day his condition was so serious that medical advice was necessary, and the young man Is likely to feel the re- suits of his foolhardy experiment for some time to come.
 In these days, when realism Is the keynote of much of our literature, one can hardly be surprised at anything which the authors of it attempt. I have under my hands now a young writer who was engaged on a book not yet finished-in which the hero un- dergoeS the experience of being with out food or water for several days. Anxious to describe the sensations of SuCH d poSleIoH WltH eAdctiluue, tue author actually conceived the idea of suffering the privation himself, with the result that he will be incapacitated from continuing his work for some months at least.
 Not nearly so extreme as the above Is the case of a wealthy capitalist who suffered from the curious malady of never, in the least degree, feeling hun gry. One day, out of charity, he took a gaunt looking beggar into a restau- rant and paid for as much as he could eat. The rich man would have given anything to possess the poor ones ap- petite, and on giving vent to his thought he learned that his guest had eaten nothing for twenty-four hours. That gave the provider of the feast an idea, and he now eats but one meal a day, and he says that he has recovered his appetite-Tit Bits
