NERVOUS DEPRESSION.
] Il rALk w,rH MRS. rrNxmAM.l

IA TALK WITH MRS. PfNKHAA.)
A woman with the blues is very un-
comfortable person. She is illogical,
unhappy and frequently hysterical.
The condition Of the mind known as
{" the blues" nearly always, with wo-
men, results from diseased organs Of
generation.
1t is source Of wonder that in this
age Of advanced medical science, any
person should still believe that mere
force Of will and determination will
overcome depressed spirits and nerv-
BUSINESS in women. These troubles are
indications of disease.
Every woman who doesn't under.
stand her condition should write to
Lynn, Mass, to Mrs. Pinkham for her
advice. Her advice is thorough com.
mon sense, and Is the counsel OF q
learned woman Of great experience.
Read the story Of Mrs. F. s. BENNETT,
Westphalia, Kansas, Is told in the fol.
lowing letter:
"DEAR MRs. PINKHAM:-Ih have suf.
fered for over two years with falling,
enlargement and liberation Of the
womb, and this spring, being in such
q weakened condition, caused me to
flow for nearly six months. Some time
ago, urged by friends, I wrote to you
for advice. After using the treatment
which you advised for q short time,
that terrible flow stopped.

WASIIINGToN ID &

April II, 1899.
Ed. ADvANCE:-Probably the
largest crowd that ever visited the
National Soldiers Cemetry at Ar
lington, Va, since the death of Gen.
Sheridan, was present at the I'M
pressive funeral services held there
over the remains of s25 fallen heroes
of the late war, last Thursday. The
President, his Cabinet and the Dip
tomatic Corps, were present; also
Gen. Miles, Gen. Wheeler, and a
number of other distinguished gen
tlemen. With full military honors
the funeral rites were performed
over those whose deeds at Porto Rico.
Cuba and San Juan have furnished
a brilliant page in the history of
American military operations. Each
soldier was given a single grave.
The Theoretically sealed cases. con
tanning the caskets, had been placed
on the cross beams over each grave.
No expense was spared by the
Government In giving the heroes a
fitting burial. Each casket cos,
about 400 and the total expense OF
removing and interring the bodie,
amounted to about $4,000. Con
servative estimates placed the
number al about sixty thousand
people, but it was by no means a
jubilant crowd. Mingled sorrow
and respect inspired the throng to
quiet reverence, and thousands stood
through the ceremonies with un-
covered heads. Comparatively few
reached the cemetery in time to get
good positions, and only those who
STOOD near the ropes surrounding
the graves were able to see and hear
what was going on, but April winds
waited the impressive tones of the
military commital service in one di-
rection and then another, go that
the crowd was fully aware when the
ceremony was In progress. About

How the Author, Then a Reporter,
Secured Thrilling Item
for His Paper.

Twenty years ago Lafcadio Hearn
natl newspaper. One day, says the San
Francisco Argonaut, a famous steeple
climber was going to scale the spire of
the cathedral to repair the cross that
topped the spire 200 feet above the side
walk. The afternoon he first scaled the
spire thousands of people watched him
breathlessly as he slowly made his way
up the outside of the steeple. OF course
he was interviewed, and he said, boast
ingly, that the task was so easy that he
could just as well carry a man up on his
back. That noon Hearn said timidly to
his city editor thai he had read of the
steeple climbers offer and would be
glad to ascend the spire on his back.
The editor tried to point out to Hearn
the peril of the thing, but he would not
listen. Finally the steeple climber and
Hearn arranged their end of the feat.
At the appointed time Hearn mounted
the steeple climbers shoulders and the
dizzy journey began. Tens of thou
sands of peoI lie watched the foolhardy
pair. At last the cross was reached and
Hearn left his perch on the climbers
shoulders. The mob in the street be-
low cheered and then the two men re-
turned to the ground safely. Hearn
went back to the office and sat down
and wrote two columns of story de-
scribing his sensations and the gloves
of the view he had obtained from
steeple top. Such a glowing descrip-
ton of a city seen from great height
has never been read before nor since.
The most interesting thing about it was
the fact that Hearn was so near-sighted
he could not see five feet beyond the tip
of his nose

THE ORIGIN OF DREYFUS.
How the Name Has Been Changed
Through Prosecutions of
the jews.

The curious origin of the name "Drey-
fus,'' which is so widely extended
among the Jews of France Germany
and Switzerland is interesting just at
this time, says the London News. 1t
arose in Elsass in the form Of ''Trevus."
Its present form is due to strange
popular misunderstanding. In the
year 1855, when the persecution of the
Jews took a new start In nearly all the
states of Germany, the elector palatine,
johann H., and his neighbour the arch
bishop elector, Johann of Trier, agreed
to expel ali the Jews from their do
minions. The Jewish fugitives from
Trer sought a new home, for the most
part in Elsass. The Jews of that time,
faithful TO their ancient customs, had
not adopted the use of hereditary sur
names, which had been common among
their Christian neigh bors in Germany
for more than two centuries. Hence
the municipal and communal author
titles throughout Eisass entered the
names of one and all the Hebrew immi-
grants as ''Trevirauus" Chat is 1.-The
man from Trier,' the Latin TrevirD.
ISle ''T' of the official scribe was al
tered in the popular dialect to the hard
D. and the official Authorization Tire
vus' in the local registers became
''Dreyfus." Thus every Jewish exile
from Trier had to accept, nolens volens,
the surname of Drevfus. There is no
ground whatever for the various in
genious and fanciful derivations of the
name from Three Foot" Drei Fuss),
"Tripod."

MONEY MADE EASY.
New Precautions Against Counter
feiting Exaggerated by the
Government.

The art of engraving by means of
photographing and kindred aids has
now reached such degree Of perfection
that the government has been forced to
redouble it's vigilance to prevent frauds
in that direction, says the Philadel-
phia Record. An old engraver said, in
speaking of this matter:
''This exposure Of the recent big
counterfeiting conspiracy has worked
a change already il the system by
which the govern ment has heretofore
kept track of dangerous counterfeit
ing methods. Chief Will1ie, [ see, says
that Taylor and Bredell employed a
new system in initiating the 500 Mon
roe head counterfeit. He is wrong. The
system has been in vogue for many
years, and is common to all experts in
our line. There are, no doubt, hun
dreds of engravers who would scorn to
do a dishonest act who could make
counterfeit plates far better than the
ones turned out by Taylor and Bredell.
AS a matter of fact, the plate that was
used to print the counterfeit internal
revenue stamps was a very imperfect
tees / know of who could do better,
However, they are good enough to fool
the ordinary person.
SIN the near future the government
will require all engravers and those
connected with engraving establish
ments to register at least once month
and to present a list of the work per-
formed by them"
