One of the foremost surgeons, who is
medical adviser to the throne, was
called in to prescribe for lady friend
of mine who is very active in fashion
able life. She was suffering from ner-
vous breakdown, and he found her gen.
orally out of order in brain, eyes, heart
and digestive organs. am going to
tell you freely what he said, though It
cost her $50 to hear him:
Il cannot cure you" says he, "but
you can easily cure yourself. All you
have to do is to go to bed at 10 O'Clock
every night no matter what company
you are entertaining or what tempta-
ton you have to go out and stay out
late. I do it. and have for years re-
fused to allow any business or pleasure
to interfere with my habit. If you
don't do it, your friends will say: Mrs.
was clever woman. How well
she used to entertain us! But she is
dead and gone If you do it. they will
have no chance to declare you dead
and gone for many year to come.
There. that's my prescription. You will
not follow it. l know. but it is all
have to offer or suggest" Julian Ralph

Garter superstitton.

A worn garter is regarded by some
people as quite a valuable present, for
it brings to its new wearer luck, or. at
any rate. is supposed to do so.
A bride should always wear q blue
silk garter at her wedding. Her garter
Is often given her by a friend who
has taken away its newness by wear
ing it few times. says Home Notes.
The wearing of the garter does not end
the ritual concerning it. After the
wedding ceremony it is either cut into
pieces or hidden. When it is hidden,
the bridesmaids hunt for it, and the
finder is assured Of being happily mar
ried before the year is out. When it is
cut. it is divided among the brides
maids to give to each good luck and q
devoted husband. Sometimes the bride
bestows he: carriers on the first brides
maid. and in Germany each bridesmaid
receives a pair of blue white silk gar
tiers from the bride.

Scheeper's Commando Intrudinq Far
tner in Cape Colony.
London. Aug. 31.-Some, interesting
side lights are thrown on the South
African war by advices published to-
day. A dispatch from Cape Town to
the Daily Mail indicates that Scheep-
er's commando has now moved to the
southwest and invaded part of Cape
Colony previously undisturbed by the
Beers. while more severe restrictions
have been imposed with the object of
preventing communication between
Cape Town and the newly disturbed
areas.
The Cologne Gazette's correspond
ent in Cape Town declares that the
entire Cape Colony is a seething mass
of disorder and alarm. He asserts that
the Beers are receiving support from
all sides
Edgar Wallace, writing to the Daily
Express, expresses decided opin-
ion that Lord Kitcheners Punishment
proclamation will not result in the sur
render of single important command
ant and that much severer penalties
are needed, the only useful policy be-
ing vigorous military measures.
Both the Morning Post and Stand
ard give information as to the con-
centration camps, and confirm the re-
ports of very heavy mortality there,
especially among the children in July.
This is said to be largely due to the
ignorance and unsanitary habits of the
proving. At the beginning of August
there was 100000 persons in the con-
centration camps. A correspondent of
the Morning Post asserts that the Boer
refugees get IS pounds in rations per
head. as against - pounds per head
given to British loyalists. and he re-
commends that the Beers be removed
to the coast

Many valleys described in guide

in front the ground slopes away to a

Work.

Work does not necessarily imply
manual labor There are people who,
if they see you without anything in
your hands-spade or hammer. book,
pen or paintbrush. or what not-as-
sumo that you are necessarily idling
away your time. There is a story told
of Archbishop TAFT that some guest at
Addington asked one of the chaplains
what the archbishop, who had appar-
emily spent the entire day strolling
about the garden picking caterpillars
off the flowers or watching the birds
on the lawn. meant by saying that it
was one of his busiest days in the year.
so it isl replied the chaplain. His
grace has been preparing his charge to
the clergy. and tomorrow he will be
able to sit down and dictate it right off
to me or some other of his secretaries"

Washington. Aug. 31.-Acting Sec
rotary Hackett of the navy made pub
lie correspondence between Rear Ad-
miral Howison and himself in relation
to the fitness of the admiral to serve
upon the court Of inquiry, in which
the latter makes somewhat
qualified denial of the interview on the
Sampson-Schley controversy alleged
in Boston dispatches, and offers to
withdraw from the court. but says
that if he remains he can do his duty
as a member of the court without par

The correspondence was sent to Adj
miral Schley. who discussed it with
his counsel. Later in the day the fol-
lowing announcement was made:
Admiral Schley's counsel is entirely
dissatisfied with the position of Ad-
miral Howison as disclosed in his let
ter to Acting Secretary Hackett"
The lawyers hold that it is not a COM
prehensive denial of the statements
attributed to Admiral Howison nor.
they say, does it disclose sufficiently
the admirals freedom from bias.

BAD CONDITION OF AFFAIRS.
Savage Cut on Barker Street-Property
Injured Several Thousands of Dollars.

The cut made by the Boston & Maine
road in the bank opposite Barker street
to make room for laying its double track
has proved much more serious than was
at first anticipated. The bank is COM
posed largely of gravel and slides easily.
The fence formerly on the edge of the
bank has been moved to the outer edge
of the railroad property and now stands
within four feet of the sidewalk. This
of course closes the street to all except
pedestrians. What is to be done about
highway is the question which is
pulling property owners. If the fence
stands where it is now the only thing
which can be done is to lay out high
way across the front yards, bringing the
sidewalk practically to the doorStepS.
This would damage the property along
the street several thousand dollars worth
and the owners naturally feel a little dis
comtted, for they all supposed, or at
least profess to, that the edge of the
bank was the limit of railroad owner
ship.
Doubtless a wall could be placed at
the foot of the bank and the old limits
of the highway preserved. But who will
put in such wall? The property owners
cannot afford to; it is not likely the town
would if it had permission; and will the
railroad? 1t is reported that little If
regularity of a former transaction will
be brought to its attention, and it is pos
sible that the management will see the
justice of assisting in preserving the
road. 1t seems that in 1888 county
road was laid out from Bellows Falls to
Putney. This road, three rods wide, ex-
tended down Earl street, took in the
land where the railroad tracks now lie
from Ira Earl's to Saxtons River, and
then across the meadows in the rear of
the brisbane house. 1t is said that the
highway on the south side of Sax
tons river was legally thrown up, but on
the north side it was not. 1t is said that
this road was laid out by county COM

missioner, and that it was abandoned as
highway by the selectmen and that the
selectmen acted without jurisdiction.
The road was thrown up in January,
1893. Barker street was laid out in 1881
by L. G. Howard and Charles Smith,
then selectmen. 1t is intimated that the
irregularity in the abandonment of the
county road will be used as lever to in
duce the Boston & Maine people to help
out the highway difficulty on Barker
street. though just how does not appear.
The present property owners on Barker
street were probably innocent purchas-
ers and the cut has done them a great
injury, but it would be difficult to blame
any particular parties for the dilemma.
1t was found that the barn belonging
to Miss Ann Hapgood was partly on rail
road property and yesterday, rather than
move it, she sold it to Peter Marsh, who
will move it onto Oak Hill Terrace and
make it into a house. A cut will be
made in the rear of Miss Hapgood's
house, but the road will put in retain
ing wall so that there will be no dan
ger from sliding

the timbers cannot be secured in this
