Give us protection that protects.

PRESERVE HOME OF BALZAC
Ills Place of Refuge in Paris Turned Into Museum for Souvenirs
 of Writer.

Admirers of Balzac who come to Paris will hereafter have an oppor- tunity of visiting a museum special ly devoted to souvenirs of the writer. It consists of the quaint old house and garden in the Rue RaynOuard at No. AT, which he inhabited many years and where he wrote a number of his best works. Curiously enough, the house recalls one of the most diff ficult periods of his life, when, it is said, he was hunted and persecuted by debtors to an alarming extent. He selected the house, it is stated, pur- posely as a sort of harbor of refuge from duns. It has no direct entrance from the Rue Raynouard, and one has first to pass through the hall of another house and go down two flights of stairs to a courtyard below. The house, which is a small building and which the French would only call "pavilion," is entered from this courtyard and has a little gar den at the back. At one side of the garden there is steep wall down the side of the hill, giving the place the appearance of little fortress.-Lon- don Telegraph.

WASTED ENERGY.

Nervous affections are more serious than is generally supposed. They rob you of brain power, of the ability to control thought, they impair your mem ory, prevent restful sleep, waste the energy needed to carry on the work of the organs, in fact, they wreck the whole nervous system. Overwork worry, great mental effort, and frequent sickness, so exhausts this nerve that there is not enough left to supply the needs of the organs; then it is time to take Smiths Nerve Restorer.
