against the publishers OF the Ladies'

rhs r.nhor.rs Of ser&fs.

Servla's Iaborer Is at heart a simple
prosaic fellow. His attire Is coarse al
most to the point Of ungainflness-
rough brown trousers of homespun, n
coat a shade or two darker and edged
with a strip of black fleece; a peaked
woolen cap and cane, and you have
the picture. He is farmer on small
scale, and his hobby is raising hogs,
which he turns into the forests or
fields to fatten on mast. The rural life
In Servia Is primitive. At sunup folks
rise, take their raki, or schnapps. and
go to the fields to work. Their meal is
brought to them at noon and again in
the evening, for they often work until
sunset. And so life goes on and on
Across the bluffs that border the river
a road runs parallel with the Danube,
and here workmen are seen, dressed
often In white suits with red girdles,
striving to bring from the earth the
grain that will not come. In Roumania

but here the earth seems stubborn and
unproductive So the laborer ekes out
his existence as he may-the least In

A feeling of deep sadness was cast
over this community by the death Of

done. In his death we lose one who
was much loved and respected for his
honest, upright and manly life. One

ever ready to lend a helping hand. He

NERVOUS DEBILITY
OEPLoRABLE CONDITION CURED
BY DIR. WILLIAMS PINK PILLS.
A Scranton Woman Tells How She
Was Made Well and Strong
BY This Remedy.

Nervous debility is the common name
for what the doctors term neurasthenia.
1t is characterized by mental depression,
fits of the "blues, " or melancholy, loss
of energy and spirits. The patient eyes
become dull, the pink fades from the
cheeks, the memory becomes defective SO
that it is difficuit to recall dates and
names at will. Some of these symptoms
only may be present or al of them. The
remedy lies i'll toning up the nervous
system and there Is no remedy better
adapted for this purpose than DR.. Will
liams' Pink Pills.
Mrs Jane j. Davies, of No. 314 War
rem street. Scranton, Pa, says: Some
years ago | became greatly reduced in
health and strength and my nervous
system became so debilitated that felt
wretched | could not rest or sleep we'll
at night aud woke up as weary and
languid in the morning as l was when
went to bed. My head ached III the
morning and often there was pain in
my right side which was worse when l
sat down. My nerves We're on edge all
the time, every little noise bothered me
and was genernble miserable.
"Then decided to try DIR. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People, as my husband
had taken them with good results, and
they did wonders for me. Now have
no more pain III my side, no more head
aches, sleep well and feel strong and
able to do my work"
DR.. Williams Pink Pills are the best
nerve tonic because they convey nour-
ishment to the nerves III the only way
that Is III accord with the plan Of nature
through the blood These pills cured
Mrs. Davies and they can do just as much
for every weak, pale ailing man or
woman who is slipping into a hopeless
decline. They strike straight ut the root
Of all common diseases caused by poor
and impoverished blood such as an8mia,
Indigestion, biliousness, headaches, back
aches, rheumatism, neuralgia, nervous
ness and even more serious nervous
disorders.
Dr. Williams Pink Pills are sold by all
druggists, or will be sent postpaid, on
receipt of price, 30 cents per box, six
boxes for $3.50, by the DIR. Williams

Quite a number of people from the

TO the officers and members of the
Grange for their untiring work and for
the large amount of time and materia
contributed for the good cause. Tht
net receipts will amount to about
$3.50 90 which will go into the hall fund
which Is not at all bad for a small

Although Scotia Is now known to
mean Scotland, 1t once was the name
of Ireland. Two centuries before the
birth of Christ Ireland was known to
the Greeks as Juvenca. Caesar called
1t Hibernia, as did also Ptolemy In his
map of that island 1t Is said the
Phoenicians first gave Ireland the name
of Hfbernia, meaning thereby utmost
or last habltation," for beyond that
land westward the Phoenicians never
extended their voyages. Toward the
decline of the Roman empire the coun-
try began to be called Scotia, a name
retained by the monastlc writers until
the eleventh century, when the name
Scotia, having passed to modern Scot
land, the ancient name Of Hlbernia be-
gan to be again used.

The Swiss Fourth of July.

Aug l is the Swiss Fourth of July,
the national fete day. A traveller tells
how he helped to celebrate 1t one year
at one of the climbing centers in the
Valais by eating the sumptuous dinner
provided by the hotel without extra
charge, appiaudlng the fireworks dis
play and bonfire lighted high on the
mountain side and shouting "Hourra"'
at the end of patriotic speech extoll-
Ing the ancient military glories and
present republican democracy of Swift
zerland.- Next morning came the
strange sequel. The orator of the oc-
casion, the most distinguished native
visitor In the place, was appealed to
as one who would certainly know the
name Of the Swiss president, but even
he could not remember it. Nobody
ever can. The name Of that unassum-
Ing functionary Is always less familiar
In Switzerland than that of the lieu
tenant governor is in Illinois. He Is
merely the democracy's temporary Of
