QUIET IN THE SHOPS.
No Strike of Railroad Men in New
 Decatur,

New Decatur, Sept. 7.-(Special .)-An is quiet with the Louisville and Nashville shop men today. It seems as if they have quieted down since the little furry that was caused by the laying off of 14O men in the different departments of the shops here a few days ago. It seems now that there Is no probability for a strike, at least not for some time to come.
 There is well-founded rumor to the effect that the real cause of laying off these men was that Superintendent of Machinery Curtis was of the opinion that the shops were not doing the proper amount of work for the number of men employed. It is said that the company has been building more cars at the Lou isville shops, according to the number of men employed than has been built here. The building of new cars here has been ordered discontinued. but whether or not this will be permanent is unknown

In Russia the manufacture of play
ing cards is an imperial monopoly. In
1S48 $4,000 packs were issued daily,
but the demand was so much in excess
of this that a petition was addressed
to the ear praying for still more
liberal supply. Among the card devo-
tees the Russian soldiers are conspicu-
Gus. They commonly carry packs in
their pockets. but when there is an
actual call to arms and they prepare
themselves for the battlefield they
make it point to get rid of all their
cards. This is due to a superstition
amounting to conviction. which leads
them to believe that to retain them
upon their persons at such a time
would be to court grave disaster.

A Woman's Wealth.
Paine'S Celery
Compound
GIVES VIGOR AND
STRENGTH TO DEBILITATED AND
RUN DOWN WOMEN.

1t is maintained by many distinguished
writers that the greatness of nation depends
much upon the physical condition OF its
women. The general conditions which con-
tribute to health and long life, are those which
do not imply rapid and unequal exhaustion
of those powers by which life is maintained.
While we assert that the women of our land
stand peerless for beauty and the virtues that
make them lovable, we cannot hide the fact
that there are thousands in our midst who,
owing to overworl, worry, household cares,
and an unequal exhaustion Of life power, have
become weak, nervous, sleepless, and debili-
tated.
We bring to the attention of all weary,
respondent, hopeless, and sckly women

healthy women around us owe their present
