since he has founded a sanitarium for
officers in bad health, so that they may
escape when necessary from the trying
winter climate of the fatherland.
The 100000 marks b~equeathed to
him by the late Baroness Cohn-Oppen-
helm is to be given to the funds of the
new Prussian regiments. so that officers
with small meal can receive allow

funds to apply to this purpose, but the
newly organized regiments have here

sees even the prospects of being re-

Pekin growing dim, no doubt the Chi

return to the United States and open

Paine's Celery
Compound
Permanently Cures Sick and.
Nervous Headaches that
Make Life Miserable.

Sick and nervous headaches are amongst
the worst ills of life. The mar or woman who
is subject to headache at irregular intervals,
goes through life bearing a load of misery
and wretchedness that is terrible to think
Of.
Headaches as a rule, result from a dis
ordered condition of the nervous system.
Mental excitement, loss of sleep, bodily
fatigue, and disordered digestion are exciting
causes. When the brain becomes tired and
debilitated, the whole nervous system is weak
ened, and headaches result. If the liver is
sluggish, the kidneys inactive, and digestion
deranged, headaches invariably follow. To
cure and prevent headache, the nervous sys-
tenn must be strengthened and vitalized.
The most persistent cases of headache, nervous
feebleness, and sleeplessness, are permanently
cured by Paine's Celery Compound; it is the
great reconstructant of the nervous system.
Mrs. Henry Westrick, St. Clair, Mich, tells
of her release from suffering as follows:-
81 have been troubled with dyspepsia and
sick headache for a number of years. About
every week I would have a bad spell of sick
headache, but since I began using .Paine's
Celery Compound, my dyspepsia is gone, and
l do not have any more headaches. feel
better than l have for years."

At last a South American revolution
is giving a fair exhibitian of real war
and according to all accounts some
genuine battles are fought down that
a If SOledads could be made more
numerous, revolutions would become
less frequent. The men who usually
engineer them have no greater desire
to become the receptacles of a miscel-
laneous collection of lead and bayonet
points than the average mar and with
the certainty that they might be put
to such use firmly placed before them
they would probably seek some other
means of killing time than by foment-

The surveying is under the charge Of
Major Case. formerly of the Fortieth
infantry, assisted by Captain II. H.
Pitcairn of the Forty-seyenth volunteer
infantry. The necessity of improving
the water supply OF the metropolis has
been evident ever since the recent chOl-
era epidemic. Since chat time the mill
tary and c~onstabulary have been active
in patrolling the Mariquina river from
the intake up to it's sourc also in
guarding b single pipe line from Ell
Deposito to the city, in order to check
mate the threats OF many desperate
characters. The civil commission, real
izing the urgent need for a more per.
feet system of supply, decided some
time ago to give the city what it needs
and also eliminate the hardship now
imposed upon the natives above the in
take.
These people have from time imme-
mortal looked upon the Mariquina riv-
er as their personal property, to use
as they like, for bathing themselves,
washing their clothes. wallowing their
carabaos and draining their sewage.
The new source of supply will be
moved up the river some forty miles
and two miles or more above Montal-
ban. At the proposed point of intake
the country is uninhabited near the
banks of the river. and the nearest
population consists of a few Igorrotes,
who live we'll up in the foothills and
mountains. so that the danger of a con-
tamination of the water is reduced to
q minimum.

TURTLE RAISING.
JOHN B. BRONDEL,
Bishop of Helena.

Enterprise to He Undertaken by
United States Fish CommissiOn.
Uncle Sam is going into the turtle
raising business, says a Washington
special dispatch to the Cincinnati En-
! Quirer. 1t has been discovered that the
! green turtle is gradually becoming
scarcer and bids fair to become an ex-
tinct species. Having in view the tooth
someneSs of green turtle soup and
| steaks, the United States fish commits
sion has directed Professor Moore to
get to work to devise a plan to pre-
serve and propagate this great sea del
icacy. 1t is a huge animal when full
grown. frequently weighing as much
as 300 pounds. 1t is a tropical product,
and the only place where it can now be
found in any numbers on our coast is
in Florida. 1t is now becoming eX-
tremely rare, and in places where it
was formerly abundant n is seldom
seen.
The cause of its disappearance is I'M
doubtedly that it's eggs are destroyed
before having an opportunity to hatch.
Turtles eggs have been known as a
great delicacy for years and command
fancy prices in the markets. Many per
son on the southern coasts formerly
made ii regular practice of hunting the
shores for nests. Raccoons have also
destroyed great quantities of eggs and
have been a big factor in the disap-
pearance of the turtle. They patrol the
coasts regularly in Florida, and it is
seldom that Il nest of eggs escapes
their yigilant eyes.
Professor Moore says the plan of the
governments experiments will be to
get some of these eggs, hatch them and
care for and protect the young until
they attain the suitable age for breed
ing. 1t will be an easy matter to get
all the eggs that may be desired at
Key West, where turtles are regularly
ways will be constructed to take in a
liberal beach area and a good portion
Of the sea, so that the turtles will have
plenty of room in which to roam and
swim about.
The fish commission is also to make
experiments in the propagation of the
loggerhead turtle, which is the variety
that furnishes tortoise she'll. The ac-
tivity with which this turtle and it's
eggs have been hunted in recent years
has made it very scarce also. The
Florida supply is entirely exhausted.
and at present specimens are found
only on the coast of Mexico and Hon
duras.

A Siberian Horror.

AS is well known, political prisoners
in Russia and Siberia are treated with
a rigor and cruelty unknown in any
European country except Turkey. The
mental sufferings undergone by prison
ers who are sentenced to the latter
form of punishment are so terrible that
they not infrequently go mad or lay
violent hands on themselves. One of
the most terrible cases of this kind re.
Gently occurred in the prison fortress
Of Tomsk. in Siberia. where. according
to the st. Petersburg Life. one of the
political prisoners. finding existence in.
tolerable. killed himself by drenching
his clothes with petroleum and then
setting himself on fire before the ward
ers could come to his assistance.

POPE's POEM ON DEATH.
Leo XIII. Presented II Copy to Each
Cardinal on HIS Last Birthday.

NoA HAS Z .|.
Two days before, in celebration Of his
ninety-third birthday. Pope Leo XIII.
gave a reception to forty-two OF the
cardinals in his private library. To
each of them he presented a richly
bound pamphlet reviewing the chief
events OF his pontiticate and copies of
a Latin poem he had just composed.
1t was on death. and Il translation of it
follows:
LEO'S LAST PRAYER.
Leo, now sets thy sun. pale in it's dying
ray:
Black night succeeds the day.
Black night fer thee; wasted thy frame;
life's flood sustains
No more thy s~,-unkcn veins.
Death casts his fatal dart; robed for the
grave, thy bones
Lie under the cold stones.
But my freed soul escapes her chains and
longs in fight
To reach the realms of light.
Tha is the goal she seeks; thither her
journey fares:
Grant. Lord, my anxious prayers.
That with the citizens of heaven Gods
face and light
May ever thrill my sight;
That l may see thy face, heavens queen,
whose mother love
Has brought me home above.
To thee. saved through the tangles of a
perilous way,
I lift my grateful lay.
This is his last poetical composition.

possibly two, the second depending on
her ability to survive the one now

among those who favor the torpedo as

think little of it. II the Belle Isle

II may be as the Butte Inter Noun
tain says, that penal laws are de-
signed to deter the offender and all
others from a repetition of the Of
tense, rather than to bring shame and
suffering as a reward of demerit," if
application of them is made in ordi-
nary cases, but the argument does not
appeal very strongly when applied in
the instance of w~ifebeaters. The more
shame and suffering is brought upon
beasts of that kind, the more likely
fruitful of results will be the efforts
put forth to compel them to desist

late holy father.
Crowned with length of years, he
has passed from earth in the 93rd
year of life, having won the love and
admiration of all by the manner in
which, for over rs years, he has gov
