A WILD DASH,
Horse Runs Down Front Street and Fin
lshss With His Feet In Shoe Store.

A horse owned by John 7. Butler of
1Ss Grove street ran away on Front
street yesterday noon and caused con-
siderable excitement in the neighbor-

ran on to the sidewalk and fell, its
iron-shod feet going through two large
plats-glass windows in Kincaid's shoe
store.

feet, but able to walk and was taken

accompanied Dy ulSagrecaole feelings
in the head and eyes. There may be a
arrangement of the digestive organs,
with a gradual failing of strength, and
weakness, weariness and pain in the
back. There is often bad taste in the
mouth mornings, the vision becomes
dim, the memory is impaired, and
there is frequent dizziness. Persons
thus affected are often diffident, de-
spondent and discouraged. The nerves
become so weakened after time that
the least excitement or shock will flush
the face, bring on a tremor or tremb.
ling, often attended by more or less
palpitation of the heart.
If you have these symptoms, or a
portion of them, you are suffering
from nervous debility caused by an
exhausted condition of the nerve and
vital powers from overwork, excuses
or indiscretions, which is slowly but

Some ten years ago a French mis-
sionsry started the systematic rearing
of two kinds of spiders for their web,
and the Board of Trade journal
states that a spider web factory is now
in successful operation at Chalais-
Meudon, near Paris, where ropes are
made of spider web intended for bal
looms for the French military aero
nautic section. The spiders are ar
ranged in groups of twelve about a
reel, upon which the threads are
wound. 1t is by no means easy work
for the spiders, for they are not re-
leased until they have furnished from
thirty to forty yards of thread each.
The web is washed, and thus freed
of the outer reddish and sticky cover.
Eight of the washed threads are
then taken together, and of this
rather strong yarn cords are woven,
which are stronger and much lighter
than cords of silk of the same thick
ness. These spider web ropes are
very much more expensive than silk
ones, but it is hoped to reduce their
cost somewhat in the future.-Nature.

Athletes Make Poor Soldiers.

An odd fact developed by the cam
paign of the Seventy-first is this, at
least it seems to be established, that,
given equal hardships, men in fine
athletic training suffer more than men
in ordinary condition. Statistics
show, in this regiment, that the run
ners, the jumpers, the crack bicycle
riders and the record men generally
were reader fever victims than their
comrades and gave out ooner in the
emergencies of the battlefield. There
was Sergeant Meeks, long-distance
runner, and Club" Smith, a bicycle
rider, and Siebold, o winner of run
ming races, and OFT, a Splinter and
hurdler, and Private Meeks, another
bicycle rider, and Divannie, a runner,
and so on through a long list. AL
most without exception these fine ath-
letes fell into illness or utter collapse
with the first strain put upon them.
They made worse fever cases and
dysentery cases than the others, and
it appeared to nurses and doctors as
beyond question that the thorough
physical training which these men
completed just before the war, in an
ticipation of the spring athletic games,
was a serious impairment of their
powers for resisting disease. 1t is
worthy of note, also, that most OF
these athletes INDUCED neither In
drink MOI tobacco .-Leslie's Weekly.

Paris is now to have what is termed
a Theatre de la Nature, or scientific
playhouse. The stage of the Bodiniere
has been arranged for this purpose,
and on it will be shown phenomena of
the earth, air and sky, as well as cpl
sodes in the lives of famous explorers
in the most curious parts of the globe.
Lectures or conferences are to be de-
liyered in connection with the scenes,
and this evidently levels the so-called
theatre to the rank of a panorama.
The first production billed for the new
theatre is the creation of the world,
with explanatory words by the poet
politician, Clovis Hugues. The thea
tire will be open every night, and there
are to be matinees on Thursdays and
Sundays .-London Telegraph.

'makes vaccination obligatory in the
first year of life and reyaccination also
obligatory at the tenth year." What
was the result? With a population of
so, 600, 900, having in 1871 lost 143. 900
lives by smallpox, she found by her
law of 1874 the mortality diminished
SO rapidlylthat to-day the disease mum

cases, moreover, occur almost exclu-
siyely in towns on her frontier, If it
were true, continued Professor Biz

not protect from smallpox we ought to
find in smallpox epidemics that the
disease diffuses itself in the w~ell-vac-
einated nc less than in the no~n-vacciu-
ated countries. But it is not SO. In

war, the two peoples interpenetrated
each other, the German having its
civil population vaccinated optionally,
but its army completely revaecinated,
while the French population and army
alike were vaccinated perfunctorily.

the French army numbered %, 900
deaths by it, while the German army

NERVOUS DEPRESSION.
"a TALK WITH MRS. PINKHAM. |

a IALh WIN II
A woman with the blues is a 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 a 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 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 a
learned of great experience.
Read the story of Mrs, f. S. BENNETT,
Westphalia, Kansas, as told in the fol-
lowing letter:
"DEAB Mrs. PNKHAM:-I have suf-
fered for over two years with falling,
enlargement and liberation of the
womb, and this spring, being in such
a weakened condition, caused me to
flow for nearly six months. Some time
ago,u urged by friends, l wrote to you
for advice. After using the treatment
which you advised for a short time,
that terrible flow stopped.
~ am now gaining strength and
flesh, and have better health than 1
have had for the past ten years. 1
wish to say to all distressed, suffer
ing women, do not suffer longer, when
there is one 81 kind and willing to
aid you"

"The family doctor should din it in
to the mothers head all of the time,
that the health of the children lies in
the feet. No ckild should be allowed
to go out into the snow or rain, or
when the walking is wet, without rub
bers. When children's rubbers cost
only % or 80 cents a pair, nobody can
plead expense as an excuse. Many a
fond mother who has lost a child,
weepingly lays it all to the inscrutable
dispensation of Providence, when the
whole trouble was the child had no
