Paris April 30
The one hundred and twenty fifth annual ex-
position of the Society of French Painters was
opened to-day TO the public and will be closed
on July l. 1t is neither better nor worse than
the art fairs Of former years. The catalogue
enumerates 1863 paintings. which is go les,
than We're exhibited last year over $500 pict-
ures were refused admission by the jury 1t Is
10 be regretted that even a greater number
We're not rejected. because the pictures Of real
merit and interest probably do not exceed three
hundred. At FIST sight the impression is dis
appointing. This IS because painters Of acquired
regulations have sent insignificant works and
as many OF these artists are members Of tho
jury. scores of mediocre caavascs are hung in
conspicuous places. If one takes pains to looS
aloft and - search IN obscure corners many
excellent pictures by younger men are to be
found. 1t is a pity that all the 'hors concours-
are not placed together quite apart from tho
younger or less known men. Such an object
lesson would Doe sa!utary.
Tl.'y-nVe American painters and fifteen
American sculptors are represented in the salon
of French artists. and it is gratifying to note
that the efforts Of oar countrynen and Of our
country women give evidence of conscientious
searching for truth and OF wholesome zeal and

former years. This is especially so in regard

MIX THIS AT HOME.
Valuable Prescription Which Anyone
Can Easily Prepare.

The following simple homemade
mixture Is said to readily relieve and
overcome any form of Rheumatism by
fercing the Kidneys to filter from the
blood and system all the uric acid and
poisonous waste matter, relieving at
once such symptoms as backache,
weak kidneys and bladder and blood
diseases.
Try It, as 1t doesn't cost much to
make. and is said to be absolutely
harmless to the stomach.
Get the following harmless ingredl-
ents from any good pharmacy: Fluid
Extract Dandelion, one-haif ounce;
Compound kargon, one ounce; Com.
pound Syrup OF Sarsaparilla, three
ounces. Mix by shaking we'll In bot
tie, and take teaspoonful after each
meal and again at bedtime.
This simple mixture Is said to give
prompt relief, and there are very few
cases of Rheumatism and Kidney
troubles 1t will fall to cure perma.
nently.
These are all harmless, everyday
drugs, and your druggist should keep
them in the prescription department;
if not, have him order them from the
wholesale drug houses for you. rather
than fail to use this, IL you are ar.
hicted.

of Inherent 10 Women.

Every woman naturally should be
healthy and strong, but great many
women, unfortunately, are not, owing
to the unnatural condition of the lives
we lead. Headache, backache and a
general tired condition are prevalent
amongst the women of to-day, and to
relieve these conditions women rush
to the druggists for bottle of some
preparation supposed to be particular
ly for them, and containing-nobody
knows what. II they would just get
a box of Brandreth's Pills, and take
them regularly every night for time,
all their trouble would disappear, as
these pills regulate the organs of the
feminine system. The same dose al.
ways has the same effect, no matter
how long they are used.
Brandreth's pills have been in use
for over century, and are for sale
everywhere, plain or sugar-coated.
