A NIGHT IN A MUD HOUSE.

These Russians had been accused of be-
ing filthy in their habits. I did not find
them more so than are many native-born
Americans of my acquaintance, though,
to be sure, certain of their customs were
not such as a fastidious person would APP
prove; While others would at least strike
him as peculiar 1t was, for instance.

to go to bed to have the entire family

intention of Witnessing the performance.

the situation. l was dead tired, and final

tween the two feather beds prepared for
my resting place, where l quickly feigned
to be asleep. Upon this, the spectators
reluctantly departed. taking with them
the, only, lamp in the house. Upon this

beds, softly closed the door, and began
hurriedly to undress.
Inside of minute the door was flung

against the admission of air, the outer

The entire sash went out with a prodig-

Wells. Richardson Co., Burlington, VT:
Gentlemen--A previous experience with
Paines Celery Compound as a restorer of
exhausted energy, induced me recently to
take it again. the many duties of the
mayors Office having taxed my slight ply
steal resources greatly 1 made no mis-
take. In one week I found my appetite
improved, the feeling of WEAKNESS disap-
pearing and my nerves becoming steadier
Paine's Celery Compound has thus been a
friend In time of need, and 1 like to say d
word for friend.
Truly yours, Walter l.. Ramsdel.
Nov. 5, 1887
In every city-in business houses. banks,
newspaper offices-wherever the friction of
worry is wearing out the nerves and re-
ducing the nutrition of the body, Paine's
Celery Compound is provine it's tnestima-
Bile value. 1t invariably insures sound
sleep, and thus gives the overstrung nerves
their natural rest; it corrects a consti-
pated habit that so commonly goes with
sedentary occupations, and frees the blood
OF poisonous humors that at some time or
other develop into grave disease

Mayor Ramsdell is again mayor of
Lynn.
Two years ago he was elected by the
combined peoples party, democratic and
citizens reform party. He was again
nominated by reclamation by the demo-
Gratis to succeed himself as mayor of the
busy modern city, and was again elected
by a rouslng majority last month
Mayor Ramsdell's present high position
is the legitimate reward of his ability and
his fearlessness in defending his opinions.
He has never hestated to declare his con-
Yictions in public nor has he been slow to
espouse the cause of the shoemakerS and
other wage earners. In 1894 he was can
didate of the peoples party for congress.
a hard worker, a conscientious official.
Mayor Ramsdell has more than once been
pushed to the limit of his strength. At
such times of extreme nervous tension
and overwork, he has saved himself from
breaking down by taking Paine's Celery
Compound.
Mayor Ramsdelps honest opinion of this
great remedy cannot be mistaken by any
one who reads his letter that follows:

but a few present. MIR. Woods remarks
were general on the labor situation of the

the various labor organizations. He re-
ferred to the present textile troubles, and
believed that the local organizations in the
districts affected were not competent to

DEcADENcE OF THE HOME.

l have no mind to harrow up the
minds of my readers with any explica-
ton of the miseries and mysteries that
confront the average housekeeper in
the daily maintenance of a simple but
comfortable existence for her family; as
for herself, an existence at all seems a
struggle which at times she would glad
ly give over. One might define a
heroine as the average American wom-
an who does her own housekeeping.
But some hint of the unnatural and UNI
happy state of affairs existing at pres
ent may be deduced from the considera-
tion of two economic facts. First, Wom-
an is, by nature, home founder and a
home maker. This is not intended as
an assertion of personal belief, but as a
statement of scientific fact 1t was
woman-not man-who opened the in
dustrial world; it was woman who made
the first rude dwellings, and dressed
skins, and Wove textiles for clothing
1t was woman, and not man, who made
the first fire, and the first utensils for
cooking, and the first rude tools for in
dustrial ends. All fler activities clus-
tered about the hearth and ministered
to the home. If the woman and the
work had not reacted upon each other
50 that, today, women should be by
nature home makers and home lovers,
there are still depths for the scientists
to sound in the working Of heredity and
of natural selection. And yet-here is
my second fact-the enormous piles Of
stone and brick rapidly filling the choice
plots of ground in our large cities and
shutting out the light of heaven with
their gabled tops, are mute if not mag
nificent witnesses to the fact that the
investment of capital is all against the
perpetuation of the separate home. The
shrewd modern investor is willing to
put hundreds of thousands against hun
dreds of dollars that (for his lifetime at
leasD women are going to prefer the
ease of the apartment hotel to the sepa-
rate house with its privacy, its own
table, and-alas-its own service. Helen

MUSIC IN CHICAGO.

1t has long been the subject OF much
comment that the Americans who frequent
the musical schools of the Atlantic coast
and of Europe are largely from the middle
west and in the February Harper's. Mr.:
George p. Upton, a well known musical
critic, describes the recent development of
musical culture in Chicago. Since. the
two chief musical centres in America: has
produced an orchestra which many ex-
perts consider not only the best in this
country, but one of the two or three best
in the world, and has developed resources
of musical education that are already in
some particulars unique, and that in all
respects bid fair to rival the educational
facilities Of the eastern centres and even
of the continent of Europe.
