TALKS TO NERVOUS WOMEN.

When your nerves are taut and
rough-edged and ajar. when you know
that, though your family and friends
may excuse you and give the trouble
some softer name, you are simply I'M
bearably perverse and as cross as a
fretful baby, do not resort to drugs. A
fatal error of many woman Is to
try this soothing powder, that alleviat-
.ag pill, the other persuasive potion,
and float out on the lulling waves of
sleep into sea OF beautiful dreams.
Neither stimulants affording a tenn
porary crutch, nor narcotics with
their transient and delusive aid, should
be taken by women on their own sug-
gestion, or taken at all except when
ordered by trustworthy physician.
Try change. More Immediately rest
full than any other step you will find
an ocean voyage. Marvellous is the
tonic Of the sea. Once cut loose from
the land. from the mails, from your
friends, from domestic cares, for a
weeks or months voyage. you are,
without your own effort or volition,
made over into a new creature. A
mother hesitates to leave her child
rem. not realizing that occasionally
the best gift she can bestow upon
them Is her absence. Everlastingly
at home. ones horizon narrows; one
loses the sense of perspective. Dear
as children may be. so unutterably
dear that to lay down ones life for
them would be easy, there are times
when the dictate of unselfsh love is
not to die for them, but to live for
them, and to live not a half-toned
signing, flutterlng existence, but a
large, wholesome, and rejoicing life
IL the wearled woman can compass an
ocean trip, she will find nothing in
natures wide pharmacopoeia more
successful in uplifting her from her
slough of despond
Everybody cannot afford a prolonged
jaunt; and many women, looking al
the meager purse from which the
means for travel must be extracted
shake mournful heads at the mere

MY LIBRARY.

AS one who pauses on rock,
The bastion of some sea nymph's
home,
And feels the ripples round him flock
Then cleaves the foam
And glides through cool, pellucid
ways
Where creepers kiss each thrilling
limb
And hears, or thinks he hears, low
lays of cherubim
And marvels at the wondrous scene,
The ruins upon ruins hurled,
The moving hosts, the darkling sheen
The awful world,
Then rises, snatching first some gem,
Some token of his sojourn there,
And filings dewy- diadem
From face and hair
And in the sunlight, with the sigh r
OF sea winds whistling in his ears
Views his found treasure till his eye
Is dim with tears,
So, where in lordly sweeping bays,
In distant dark retiring hooks,
Stretches before my eager gaze
This sea of books.
pause and draw one fervent breath.
Then plunge and seem to pass away
Into deep waters still as death,
Yet clear as day,
To move by powders of the past,
By caves where falter dimly pure
Cleans of the future, all the vast
Of literature,
Then to return life above,
From regions where but few have
trod,
Bearing gem of larger love
To man and God.

outbreaks and Instructions in the
most distant parts would be talked of
in the southern part of the country,
among the coolies even, for days be-
fore the British would receive notice
Of them. Communication seemed to
come with the rapidity of thought, and
is wrapped in the utmost mystery.
During the instruction in Afghan

was in charge OF the British forces

course, the greatest concern was felt
at Calcutta regarding the war One
Of these strange occurrences took
place at this time. On the very day
that the instruction was broken by
Roberts, and fully two days before the
British received information of the
fact, the Hindoo merchants on the
bazaars OF Calcutta were talking Of the
victory of the British. Even the low
est coolies knew all about the sup
preston of the instruction. Before
the British officers could be informed
of the fact a pony express had to
travel fully two days from the seat Of
the war to the nearest telegraph wire,
and the entire distance was fully 5000
miles.
This strange power Of commune
cation has been noticed time and time

among any part of the tribes it has
been noticed that the trees In all parts
Of the empire will be marked with a
red spot. 1t seems to be done in all

CHINA'S DEVELOPMENT.

The leavening of the vast Chinese
empire, begun within the past quarter
of a century by western thought, is
now strongly felt throughout the
realm. Under the fostering influence
of a wise and progressive govern
ment, it is effecting in a nation Of
over 100000 souls marvelously ben
eficent changes. These have been
watched by the peoples of the west
with the liveliest anticipation and
hope.
He must be a curious man of the
west who does not feel certain pride
in the fact that the creations of his
half of the world have begun to en-
ter the thought realm of what is
practically the remainder Of the earth,
and to effect methods, to establish
modes, even to subvert forms in a re-
gion which for many centuries es-
teemed itself, and was. in truth, the
supreme of the universe. There is an
element of sympathy in human nature
which feels qualification in the ad-
vancement of a fellow being, and con-
templates with admiration and ap-
plause his rise to higher things.
l do not believe that the American
people will always be deluded as to the
value and necessity of Chinese resi-
dents or that the types of men who
now influence thought on that subject
will continue to find credence; and I
am very sure that, in not many years
the Chinaman's money earned In the
United States will buy him little more
in China than here For, the cost OF
living will rise with the rate of wages:
and in China both will presently
reach the American standard
do-not expect this change to take
place slowly. The movement now pro-
crossing in China has attained marvel
Gus speed; and. with the aid of the
kindly offices of the western peoples.
especially the people of the United
States, and under the guidance of the
present sagacious and efficient govern
ment Of China, we shall continue our
progress, advancing ever upward. max

Dark brown le.sgings will be worn, and

A PROMISING OUTLOOK.
Big Business Certain for the Tehaun-
tepee Railroad Now Under Com
structiOn in Mexico.

Work is now going on in the re-
construction of the Tehuantepec rail-
road across the narrowest part of
Mexico and gives assurance that the
road will be as solid and of as per-
manent a character as the Vera Cruz
railroad. AS the Tehuantepec road
will have a maximum grade 6f half
per cent. compensated, it will be in
a position to handle any traffic that
can. be secured on very economical
terms. At present the Panama rail
road handles 100000 tons of freight
per annum, 60 per cent. of which is
destined for or arises at ports north
of Panama. The bulk of this nat
urally belongs to Tehuantepec. In ad-
dition, however, the road will capture
a large volume Of the traffic at pres
ent carried by railroads to the Pa
cific coast from the Mississippi valley
and it is confidently anticipated that
this railroad will be doing as large a
trade as the Panama within five wears
from its opening. The distance from
Coatzacoalcos to San Francisco via
Salina Cruz is 100 miles less than the
distance from New Orleans to San
Francisco via the Southern Pacific,
and the distance across the gulf from
New Orleans to Coatzacoalcos is only
SEQ miles. and within very few years
there will be daily service boats be-
tween the two ports.

mother in the notion business. She

lord came in after his rent. The young
lady wrote out check, attached a
revenue stamp, not forgetting to can
eel it, and insisted on a receipt for
the money.
The little notion store does a thriv-
ing business. Usually the buying is
desc from 1iffin, where the little girl
frequently goes alone to look over the
samples of the drummers and make
selections. She knows exactly what
! is wanted. She never carries paper or
list to go by, but relies on her mem
/ ory and her knowledge of the stock
at home, and seldom makes an error.
Travelling men prefer her custom to
that of some other people, as they say
she knows exactly what she wants. "a

Years ago the site became the prop

Warner. 1t was his intention to i'm
prove the island and build a home.

The island after his death became the
property of his daughter, Miss Susan

financially embarrassed she took up
her pen, with the hope of retrieving
the family's shattered fortunes. She

authoress, and was enabled to largely
pay off the debts of her father. When
she died her pen was taken up by her
sister, Anna B: Warner, who now ocH

tion island.
1t was the wish of both sisters that
old Constitution island, when the last
of the Warner family should have

erty of some church missionary So
