Thefts from Hotels.

A certain hotelkeeper in Washington says that the people have no idea of the small depredations that are committed by guests, most of who are people of money enough of their own to refrain. He declares that not long ago he bought 700 yards of toweling for his rooms, and before he had time to learn whether or not the rooms had been supplied, the whole outfit was gone, says the Washing ton Post "They are drummers, and women and all kinds of people who took them," said he, land probably they did not think it was stealing to take things away from the hotel. As to downright theft from rooms, or biIking In the mat ter of meals, there Is much less of 1t in hotels than you would suppose: but Lord! how they will crib the soap and linen and spoons!"

From it's fruit large quanti. ties,of oil and tallow are extract. ed, and the fruit is gathered in November or December, when all the leaves have fallen. Excellent candlss are made from the berries of a tree which grows in some parts sf South Africa and the Azores At Sierra Leone is found the cream fruit tree, the fruit of which isyery agreeable in taste.

How to Get We'll.

Every organ of the body is directly connected with the brain by nerves. The nerve cells in the brain generate nerve force-power-and send it to the organ through these nerves, and this nerve-force gives life and action. The or gans work perfectly when there IS sufficient nerve power. Lack of nerve force weakens the ac- tion of an organ and it works imperfectlv-becomes sick.
 Two-thirds of all sickness is thus due to weak or deranged nerves; it is therefore advisa- ble to take Dr. Miles Restor- ative Nervine, because it makes nerve energy.
 When you cure the nerves you remove the cause, and that's the way to get we'll.
 "Dr. Miles Restorative Nervine Sui C0 ItiC Ol ICINouo dI IlcI every other effort had failed to give me relief. My trouble seemed to begin with a general loss of strength and a breaking down of the nervous system. I suffered from headache. constipation and fluttering or palpita- tion of the heart. My appetite failed and was so nervous and restless that I could not sleep at night. My hus- band, who is a druggist brought me a bottle of Nervine. It helped me from the start, and I continued using it until I had taken six bottles. My health was completely restored.''
