A gorgeous costume flashed beneath the brilliant lights
of a ball room. The queen of society is radiant tonight.
The nervous hands of a weak woman have toied day
and night, the weary form and aching head have known no
rest, for the dress must be finished in time.
To that queen of society and her dressmaker we would
say a word. One through dollhouse culture, luxury and
social excitement, and the other through the toll of necessity,
may some day find their ailments a common cause.
Nervous prostration, excitabiity, fanting spells, dizzi-
ness, sleeplessness, loss of appetite and strength, all indicate
serious trouble, which has been promoted by an overtaxed
system.
For the society queen and the dressmaker alike, there is
nothing so reliable as Lydia L. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound to restore strength, vigor, and happiness.
Mrs. Lizzie Anderson, ~ Union St. Salem. N. j., writes:

Senators are not showing much anX- iety to rush the army reorganization bill through the senate. which was rail roaded through the house last week. To give the senate republicans Il chance to rush it. the house leaders made the bill I substitute for one that was passed by the senate at the last Ses- sion. The senate could have sent the bill to a conference at once, but it didn't. Tie bill was referred to the military committee, and Senator Flaw ley chairman of that committee. says the usual routine will be followed in the consideration of the bill which be gan to-day. The anti-canteen amend ment, adopted by the house to please the W. C. T. L.. is already being made the basis of much contention. The chances favor it's being struck out by the senate.

The story of Rathbone's eXtrava- quite as disgraceful as Neeley's steal ings, is fully told in q pamphlet of 292 pages, now in the hands of the senate committee on relations with Cuba. Al though Rathbone paid the money out Cn vouchers, they were vouchers which he knew that no honest auditing officer would pass. In fact. vouchers amount ing to $69G19.21 have been thrown out by the auditors because of the nature of the goods for which they charged, such as $110 a month for rent for coachman's house. enameled bath tub and other house fittings for one Mad am Jorrins and household furniture and furnishings of all kinds. including such items as lining furniture with brocaded silver and gold" and harness and other stable paraphernalia. Al though these vouchers have been dis allowed the money had already been paid from the Cuban funds. It will in common honesty have to be made good. as well as the Medley stealing. and it is likely that the task of making good will fall entirely on the United States, as there is no probability of recovering any censiderab bIe sum either from Rathbone or 5Neeley.

 wise has been resorted to in carrying out the English plan of warfare. Last August every Boer. whether in arms or not. was notified that he would be considered prisoner of war and trans ported over the sea unless he took an oath of allegiance to Queen Victoria. In September General Roberts issued an order that the women and children of Boers supposed to be hostile to the British should be expelled from towns occupied by British troops. In this order the venerable wife of the presi- dent of the Transvaal was mentioned by name. In October a proclamation assissued commanding all Boers liv- ing within a radius of ten miles of Bloemfontein to abandon their homes and concentrate in that town. Those living outside of that radius were or dered under penalty of $1 900 fine and the burning of their houses and barns to search their farms every night for Boer guerrillas who might be lying in wait for detachments of British soldiers. Tn the meantime the work of driving women and children from their homes and huddling them in towns. where they are often in want of the necessaries of life, has been steadily going on. The treatment to which they are subjected may be judged from dispatch from Port Elizabeth, which appears in $he Eng

MORE TRUTH THAN POETRY.

 ''Yes?" uueried the farmer, some what surprised.
 You were kind to him." went on the stranger. You fed him. gave him words of encouragement and an old suit of clothes. put five shillings in his pocket, and sent him on his way re- joicing. He told you ar the time that he would never forget your kindness. Am 1 right?'
 II believe you are,'' replied the far .-2e:.
 He said that if he prospered he would see that you never had oc- casion to regret your kindness to a poor struggling lad.'
 Lands sake"' exclaimed the far mer's wife. excitedly. Tt sounds aI- most like a fairy tale, don't it:''
 Well, continued the stranger, "ne told me to tell you that he is still poc".''
 And as he drove away the farmer went out and kicked the pump vicious ly, while his wife threw rolling pin at the chickens.

THE ART OF WHITTLING.

Just returned from the little town where l was born,' said Brown Same old place it was forty years ago. and if it hadn't been for Il little incident that came under my observa- tiOn I should have come away with the impression that the town was iden- tical with the one I left in search of my fortune.
 T chanced to break the point of my pencil one day while 1 was there and, having left my jackknife in my other clothes, I asked small boy who was standing near by. with the utmost con fidence, for the loan of his. He said he did not have one, and five other small boys who were with him said the same thing, although one of them admitted that he did have one some time ago, but had traded it for a fish hook.
 Now, in my time Barlow knife was the dream of every boy. and sell dom did the dream go unrealized, as boy without jackknife lost caste.
 ..The incident started a line of thought and I looked around for the village loafer. He was still there, sit ting on a dry goods box, chewing cheap tobacco and splitting at a mark, the same worthless, good for nothing mortal that l hau known forty years ago. But, strange to say, he wasn't whiting, and the box upon which he sat showed no signs of his art as g whittier.
 "Sinee my return to the city I have been trying to discover how many men carry jackknives, and find that with the exception of few, mainly among men of my own age, the jackknife is an unknown utenSil l am afraid that the gentle art of whittling a pine stick is, rapidly becoming lost one.

pAN-AMERICAN VISITORS
Will Dart Through Space and Visit the
 Moon.

Moon.
 Bridal couples who visit the Pan American exposition at Buffalo will have the unusual privilege of spending part of their honeymoon in the moon. This special favor is due to the fact that Frederick Thompson has made arrangements with the exposition au- thorities by which trips to the earth's satellite may be made on a real air ship which has been named the Luna.
 The privilege of the voyage through space will not be confined to newly married couples alone, but will be open to the public generally. Bridal couples are expected, however. to take special interest in the attraction.
 As the ship sails over the cities and mountains, lakes and rivers, there will be seen a marvellous panorama in the changing landscape: the mountains shift to mere ant hills and the rivers to waving strings of silver. The earth slowly cmergeS into ball which falls away into boundless space, and then the stars grow into huge planets and again dwindle into mere fiery dots upon the sky.
 1n perfect ease and safety the tour iStS to the strange lands of the moon reclines in his steamer chair upon the
 
 all earthly care q hundred thousand miles away and floats onward through the heavens to another world. On the voyage he whiles away the time in watching from the deck of the air ship the remarkable feats of curious creatures of the air such as he has dreamed of but never saw before in waking hours.
 Entering the atmosphere of the moon. the ship drops through q sea of clouds and makes d landing amid two high mountain peaks. Native guides will meet each excursion party at the landing dock and show them to the underground City of the Moon with it's palaces and shows. and then go to the marvellous Castle of the Man in the Moon. where all will be wei comed with q performance before the tk:.nco
 On the Midway of the Pan-American exposition an immense building 160 by 24O feet and 70 feet in height has been completed.

HEARD IN PASSING

It was an unexpectedly large major ity-19S to 92-that the house gave the GrOut oleomargarne bill. Political lines were not drawn at all. If any line was drawn, it was the agricultural against the manufacturing.
 What q splendid thing it would be if q Bayard was in the senate fighting the ship subsidy bill instead of Petit grew and Allen. The opposition of the former would weigh tons to the latter's ources.-New Haven Register.
 The senate has always been an ex- travagant body. especially i'll its eX- penditures for it's own luxury, and the fact that the committee on finances has just paid $4109 for refurnishing and redecorating the room in which it meets. shows that 1t is growing more so.
 Will the restoration of Eagan be an affront to General Miles? Was not Eagan hauled up for using offensive language about his superior officer: Is Miles satisfied that the offender has been sufficiently punished: Any how. Eagan may get his pay and be restored to position and retire with all the ad- vantageS that may be materially class itied. but he will always suffer the SO cial penalty for the unwieldiness of h;S tongue.-New Haven Union.
 One thing the trolley roads and elec trc light companies will have to face is the question of damages caused by loose electricity. In Waterbury suits have been brought for injuries sus- tained by boy who was badly burned and shocked by electricity which had leaked from wire and charged an iron bridge on which he was playing. Wires must be constantly inspected and all danger obvlated, or the profits in producing electricity will be great ly minished.-ApSOnia Sentinel.
