This is a good time Of the year
to inaugurate yourself into n clnb
of one, joining the Don't Worry
club, aud this is a good verse to
keep ever before you:
It Is not the work, but the worry
That wrinkles the smooth. fair face;
That blends gray hairs with the dusky,
And rohs the form of its grace;
That dims the iustre and sparkle
OF eyes that were once 50 bright
But now are heavy and troubled
With weary, despoHdeut light
Il is no, the work, hut the worry.
That drives all sleep away,
As we toss and ioss aud wonder
About the cares OF the dag.
DO we think Of the hands hard labor,
OR the steps Of the tired fectl
All no, but we plan and ponder
How TO make both ends meet.
II is not the work, but the wory,
That makes us sober and sad,
That makes ~ narrow ard sortiid.
When We should be CHEEKY and glad
There's a shadow before the sunlight,
Aud ever cloud In the blue,
The scent fthe rose Is tainted,
The notes Of the sonE are untrue.
II IL not the work. but the worry,
That makes the world gruw old.
That nainben the wears Of its children
Rre hall their story i told;
That weakens their faith Ia heaven,
And the wisdom Of Coda great plan
Ali Ills not the work, but the worry,
That breaks the heart III man.

One Of the courses served to the boys and teachers at school was chick ell pie. There were several pieces cooked and one of them was evidently bad. A number of the boys were taken i'll afterwards, and il was thought chol- era had broken out in the school, but it turned out to be ptoraine poisoning, a-d as soon as it was found out proper remedies were applied.
 The Japanese papers are publishing reports to the effect that Russia is ;cncating trouble ii Manchuria as an excuse not to withdraw from that countty ana that the Russians are act ing with the rebel interests, supplying them with ammunition.
 Favored by conditions caused by the drought, the Boxers are making extraordinary headWay in S2ochuen, says the North China Daily News.

Wilicmstad. August -Four million cartridges and 10000 Mauser rifles were received by President Castro of Vene- uela last Saturday. Half of these are deposited in Caracas and the other half were sent to Maracaibo on a schooner This distribution of munitions of war is taken to be proof that if Castro's forces are beaten in the expected en- Sagement with the revolutionists and if the president can escape he intends. to prolong his resistance and purposes to transport the headquarters of the government to San Cristobal. in tho extreme western part of Venezuela. where he was born.
 This apparent decision on the part of President Castro has created a feeling Of depression in commercial and fiuan- ci2i circles. The British cruiser Pallas anchored in La Guayira roadsted to- day.

Shenandoah, Pa, August 5.-The peace of this troop protected town re- mains unbrokea. The unsettled feel ing which has been apparent for the last few days. however, continues It was q lively day at brigade headquar- tcrs, where all the staff officers were kept busy in connection With the move rent of troops and keeping in touch with the situation in the entire county. There were many rumors Of trouble, but excepting at Girardviile, where d workman was shot and slightly in iured, nothing of serious nature oc- cured anywhere.
 Brigadier General Gobin is unusually alert. however, and kept his soldiers in readiness for instant use all day long Many stories of threatened trouble reached him, but he was able .ir every instance to run them down without sending out details of men. Officers around headquarters feel that the ten sion is increasing, and would not be surprised if some Of the troops now in camp here were sent into the surround ing region.
 Probably the most important devel- Opment in the Shenandoah region was the arrest and commitment to the county jail O: two wounded Lithua- ni2nS who participated in the riot last week. The arrest was attended With

 This matter was talked of a year ago. and q company of citizens residing in that vicinity was partially organized when the enterprise fer some reason feu through. The city has repaired the old hook and ladder truck used before the purchase of the present big truck. and equipped it with q chem lcai apparat atus, so it is now comEiu- alton fire fighting machine, and ought to be q whole lot better than no appa- i'atus in the early stage of 4 fire

FOOD TREATMENT. Old Stomachs Made Over.

Improper medicine knocks out as many stomachs as bad food, but proper food will nearly always restore the health that Nature intended.
 ''I suffered with chronic constipa tion for a long time and two years ago be- came an invalid, being unable to retain anything on my stomach,'' says Mrs. F. M. Buss of MillersbuIg, Ky.
 Physicians pronounced it catarrh of the stomach and bowels. In fact. the entire aiimentary canal was involved. caused they said, by continued use of purga tives. For several weeks l could net retain more than q teaspoonful of any kind Of fluid a any time and at this stage of my illness a friend sug- geSted that l try Grape Nuts.
 l commenced by taking only a tea spoonful at 9 time of the water poured while boiling. over two teaspoonfuls Of the Grape-Nuts. In five days. I was able to digest 9 teaspoonful of the Grape-Nuts themselves, and in less than q month could digest an ordinary meal l can eat anything now. after having used Grape Nuts for nearly two years, and am entirely cured of con- stipation.

THE DRYING UP
 OF SALT LAKE
The Lowest Level Ever Recorded
 Has Beeu Reached.

Salt Lake, August 1.-The Great Salt Lake. which has fer several years bee: slowly but steadily receding, has, ac- corGiEg to Director Murdoch, now reached the lowest level ever recorded since observations have been taken by the department. Up to August l the lowest mark ever recorded was July Il. Since that time the lake has receded an additional four inches. The fall Of water since 1894 amounts to nearly six feet, and on the low flat eastern shore this has resulted in a recession of the water line during that time of fully three-Quarters of mile
 In speaking of this phenomenon, Di- rector Murdoch said today:
 Utah has been in d dry cycle for seven or eight years. In this period the precipitation has been considera bly be- low the average. The precipitation sometimes moves in cycles of this char acter and I think the prolonged period of increased precipitation is nearly due But it will take several years to bring the lake back to it's former level"
