Nervousness is very common among
women. This condition is due TO anemie
nerve centers. The nerve centers are
the reservoirs of nervous vitality. These
centers become bloodless for want Of
proper nutrition.
This IL especially true in the spring
season. Every spring host of invalids
are produced as tne direct result Of weak
nerves.
This can be easily obviated by using

An Absurd Christening.
wilmington Messenger

1.-THE funniest story / ever heard, .
continued the reverend gentleman,
land they tell me / am full of funny
stories, was about a brother clergy
man, a mother and her baby girl. 1t
was during the ordinance of baptism
one Sunday morning, and my brother
minister stood behind the font when
the mother and her infant came be-
fore him. What name shall / give this
child?' asked he.
Now, the lady lisped very badly I'M
der ordinary circumstances, and with
the minister in front of her and the
whole congregation behind her, she
was greatly purturbed, and clustering
ly replied, Iuthy. Chir.'
What exclaimed he. and the lady
repeated. Iuthy, thir.' and let fall her
modest glance from his penetrating
eyes. Never will / baptze a child
Lucifer! George Washington | bap-
TIE thee and so on, and the girl wore
that name until she died"
The above is given by the New York
Herald as an anecdOte told by the late
Rev. j. b. Walker, a Methodist min
lister. 1t is a true story, but with some
minor inaccuracies. This remarkable
and ludicrous christening occurred in
Edenton, n. G. The minister was the
late Rev. Samuel Johnston, for many
SCtllS iCSboI VI tie Episcopal cnuGcH
in that town. The editor of this paper
has often heard the story by near rela-
tives of the minister. The mother and
child were slaves. owned by the late
James Johnston, who was one of the
wealthiest planters and largest slave
owners in this State. He made il
point to have all children born to his
slaves baptized by his near kinsman.
The story as told by the relatives of
Mr.. Johnston gees on to state that just
as he pronounced the words George
Washington, | baptize thee" etc, the
mother called out. Mas Sam, that
boy you's baptizing Is gal baby" The
minister did not heed the interruption,
though, but vert on with the service
and that 'gal ABLY" eve" afterward
went by the name of George Washing
ton The members of the minister's
family We're present. and one of his
daughters was so confused with
laughter that she had to rush from
the building to keep from disturbing
the religious ceremony.

Newspaper Triumphant.

1t is gratifying to note that what is
said to be the largest single advertis-
ing appropriation ever made--that of
the Liquozone Company for nearly a
million and a half dollars-is to be de-
voted almost entirely to the daily
newspapers. Nothing is so promising
to the future of the business as the
way the newspaper is lately coming
to be recognized as the one medium
for profitable publicity. The depart
ment stores and local merchants, the
breakfast foods and biscuit makers,
the railroads and steamship lines, the
theatres and circuses, and first and last
the proprietary medicines have come
to understand that the newspaper is
the great place i'm which to put their
money with an assurance that it will
be returned many fold The newspa-
pcrs themselves have been the educa-
tors. They have broken the light to
