Business and professional men whose
abors are largely mental, whose work II
a constant drain upon the nervous system,
find it necessary to have q reserve Of nerve
force to withstand the effect Of mental
strain.
When sleep is courted in vain, when
the stomach is frequently out of order;
when the daily stint becomes a burden
instead Of a pleasure; when you rise in
rhs morning with less energy and am
bition than when you retired, your con-
dition Is so serious as to demand instant
attention and treatment. 1t is not a case
to be cured by few weeks rest; nor of
my stomach slightly unset; nor of "In
be all right in few days" 1t is nerv-
Gus disorder, which, il neglected, will lead
to nervous prostration with its attendant
horrors Of fainting spells, of mental ard
physical weakness, irritability. morbid
fears and ultimately, insanity. Under GER
tain conditions these symptoms may lead
to chronic headache. insomnia or nervous
dyspepsia and, il the sufferer is predis-
posed, to heart trouble, the most common
cause Of sudden death.
W hen the system receives that aid from
without which will replensh nerve force
and vitality: rebuilding and restoring

ach, lungs, or whatever organ is affected,

A Monument to the War Veterans.

Delaware County, Pa, has erected at
Media, Pa, splendid monument to
her sons who served in the army
and navy OF the United States during the
war of the rebellion. 1t is a shaft Of
Vermont granite and cost $4,000, and
was dedicated with appropriate cere-
monies in the presence OF an immense
crowd, May 8. In the parade there were
many Posts from Media and neighboring
towns, the military companies, fire com
panies, many city organizations and 200
school children with flags. John L. Grim,
Past Commander OF Post 21, Of Philadel-
pkia, made the speech Of acceptance, and
the school children sang patriotic songs.
Prof. John Russell Hays read an ode and
COL II. G. Cochran responded. The mon
ument is one Of the very finest in Pennsyl
vania.
Four keystone panels carved on the
sides bear these Inscriptions: East side,
In grateful remembrance Of the soldiers
and sailors OF Delaware County who
fought for the unity OF this Republic this
monument is dedicated that future genera
tions may cherish the. principles Of civil
and religious liberty" south side, "0ur
country will ever remember and cherish
their deeds Of valor;:" west side, I'VE
honor the memory of the noble and pa
trfotic women who aided the defenders of
our country" north side, Heroes were
they, from the men who fell at Baltimore
to those who stood victorious at Appomat-
tox." Scrolls above the keystones bear the
Inscriptions Delaware County Infantry,
Cavalry, Artillery, Navy" respectively.
The monument is guarded by two re
volving iiotchkiss guns, captured from
Spanish vessels, and procured by Con-
gresham Thomas s. Butler.

Cut the paper along the dotted lines, and
you will have your five7pqinted star.
II you want nice fat star, cut the pa
per little higher up .taan indicated by
the arrow, but Of course, ending with the
dotted line on the upper part. Ii you
want lean, long-pointed star, begin cut
ting little below the point indicated by
the arrow. ,,c-.
You must very carefully preserve the
proportions in folding because il you make
the fold little wider on one side than on
the other you will have u wide point to
your star and narrowSone, or you will
get the inside folds doubled in and make
two points to one of the. rays.
The easiest way to learn how to make
the stars exactly right is to take piece
Of newspaper, or pieces of wrapping pa
pert is best that they be perfectly
smooth-and cut them on a scale of inches
as above. Then settle down to practice
with those pieces Of paper till you are per-
fectly familiar with the folding and cut
ting. Then you can take paper as large
as across two pages of The National Trib
une, or even larger, and cut u star. 1t is
all matter OF training the eye.
Very large stars cut out of heavy white
paper make quite pretty decoration for
patriotic occasions. You can fasten them
by means Of small pins Mt the points to
scenery on stage, or to papered walls,
window curtins, or any kind Of drapery.
without injury to any Of them. It is just
as easy to cut the stars from cambria, and
they can then be pasted or sewed to little
dresses for Flag Drills.

The iron flooring in the Refining Room
in the Assay Office of the United States

to be removed. The dust will be collected
and the gold dust found on the floor wall
be melted down. 1t is said that during
one days work the broems swept up from
81, 800 to $1,000 in little fiecks OF gold. 1t
is explained that much gold escapes with
the fumes from the refining furnaces and
goes up through the chimney, falling upon
the roof of the building. The root has
been swept of the dust that has collected
for year. The big chimney is lined with
steel and in sections. Each one Of these
sections will be removed, the dirt and ac-
cumulations scraped from it and put into
the melting pot. 1t will then be replaced.

The National Patriotic Instructor of
the Woman's Relief Corps, Mrs. Lue
Stuart Wadsworth, has issued a very in
stuctive Flag Day letter, in which is in
corporatcd brief history of the Flag. In
closing her letter Mrs. Wadsworth says:
"'Old Glory stands to-day honored and
respected by all the world. During its
life it has seen this country grow from a
few weak colonies to be the most re-
spected of all Nations.
To-day it stands as the emblem of a
land that welcomes the oppressed of all
countries, and carries protection to the
humblest citizen throughout the civilized
world.
"lret US by song and story seek to i'm.
press upon the minds of our people a deep
and tender reverence for the Flag of our
Country. Let us make a special effort to
interest the school authorities in our re-
spective districts, to have appropriate ex-
ercises by the schools, il in session, that
the youth of our land may be taught to
honor and respect it as the flag that
stands for Liberty, Equal Rights and JUS
tice to All.
''Bvery Corps member is earnestly re.
quested to display the Flag from her own
residence, and to request her neighbors to
do likewise
''Col. Allen @. Bakewell, Chief Aid on

have Flag Day observed in every State
and Territory of the Union. Let us show
our interest and willingness to cooperate

tends to the uplifting of the flag.

Still floating Ger land and Ger sea;
The pledge of a people united,
The beautiful Flag of the free!"

An Armv Nurse Gone,

Miss Grace McGee, an Army Nurse OF
the war of the rebellion. was inferred in
Arlington last week with military honors.
The Army Nurses Association had
charge Of the obsequies. and the Chaplain
of Kit Carson Post, 2, G. A. R., con
Quoted the religious ceremonies. The pail
bearers were also members Of Kit Car
son Post. The burial was in the allotment
to nurses of the war Of the rebellion.
Miss McGee was about 20 years OF age.
She was born in Kingston, Ireland, and
came to this country in her early child
hood. Among her earliest reco!lections
was the ringing of the bells announcing
the birth OF the Princess Victoria, King
Edwards sister. Miss MCGEE made her
home in Washington, and at the begin
ming of the war offered her services as a
nurse. She was stationed at the hospital
in the Ninth Street Presbyterian Church
southeast during its entire service as a
hospital After the war she continued to
live in this city, and of late when she
became feeble and lacked relatives in this
country to care for her, she was removed
to st. Elizabeth's Hospital, where she
died after q short illness, Sunday morn
ing.
In the Army Nurses lot repose the re-
mains Of Anna PIatt, Elvira Bliss, Sarah

THE STARS
OF THE FLAG.
They Are Five.poihted-liow to
Cut Them Easily-Large Stars
Pretty for Decoration.
BY ISABEL woRRELL BALL.

The stars on the Flag are tive-poineed.
1t is a very easy matter to cut 4 four
pointed star, and just as easy to cut a six
or eight-rayed one, but unless you know
just how to so about it, five-pointed star
is not an easy thing to make and have
each point mathem sticaily correct
You know the story runs that Betsy
Ross folded q strip OF paper and cut a
fve-pointed star with single snip of her
scissors. 1 have often seen it disputed
that she did so, and the assertion made
that it would be an impossible thing to
do and make each point exactly the size
OF every other point. Follow the direc-
tions below and you can make the same
kind Of star which Betsy Ross did, and
with one snip Of the scissors.
Be very careful to preserve the proper
proportions in size Of the paper. For pur-
poses OF illustration, take a piece OF paper
five ond one-half inches wide by six long,
and fold it exactly in the middle Of the
long way.
Fold over the corner as in the following
illustration.
