A Unique Occasion.

1t was held in the Bethany vestries
last Friday evening. The Primary
Department of the Sunday School
gave reception to their parents and
friends. Mrs. G. r. Fogg is the
teacher and her assistant is Miss
Mabel Ross. The class has an aver
age attendance of thirty and numbers
between forty and fifty. A commit
tee of the children and their teacher,
Miss Ross, and their pastor well
coined their guests.
A program consisting of recita-
tions, dialogues and songs was pre-
sented by the children. For some of
them it was their first attempt to
speak or sing on such an occasion. A
most pleasing feature of the program
was a drill and march in which
eighteen boys and girls participated.
They sang several national hymns,
which closed with beautiful tableau.
1t was delightful occasion TO all.
The rooms were filled with the
children and their parents. The
cordial credit and appreciation were
given to the teachers of this depart
ment.

A FOOD FOR

Remarkable Result OF the Tonic
Treatment in a Case at
Washington, Ne.

There is absolutel y no way of reach
ing tne nerves with medicine except
through the blood. The nerves receive
all of thelr nourishment and support
from the blooi which, under healthiul
conditions, carries the elements needed
to rebuild wasted nerve tissue.
Let the blood become dcranged and
deficient i'll these elements and tie
nerves will be badly nourished and
headaches, neuralgia, sciatica, functional
paralysis aud u host of other nervous
troubles may result. This is illustrated
by the case of Mrs. Lincoln Overlook of
Washington, Ne, who says
"A few years ago l began to suffer
with nervousness although l had always
been healthy. The trouble came on me
suddenly. 1t took me like an attack of

In 1887, the desire Of the Republi.

In 1887, the desire of the Republi-
cans that Mr.. Blaine should head
the ticket again the next year,
unanimity of the sentiment was sur
prising. Mr.. Blaine and his wife were
travelling in Europe, and on the 25th
of January, 1888, addressed from
Florence, Italy, letter to the chair
man of the Republican national COM
mittee, stating that from purely per-
sonal reasons his name would not be
presented to the convention. Mrs.
b. to Mr.. Manley: "Setting aside
his own reluctance to go through
another campaign, Mr.. Blaine feels
exonerated from obligation to the
party by the fact that there are other
candidates for whom their States are
pledged to vote. AS he has already
run once, and ss he lost his election
by only a small minority, he thinks
the only nomination which would be
on him would be unani
nous one. We're this his first romi-
nation he might enter the lists and
fight like other candidates, but now
he cannot. Self respect would not
permit ito ---In another letter to
one of the children she writes: "Tne
letter of. declination came out as
stated, and Mr.. Jones has cabled us
that it has carried joy to his enemies
and sorrow to his friends. But it had
to be, and in all my thoughts, which
are mostly sympathy for others, l
never fail to remember that a nomi-
nation is not an election, and that the
day of doom has to be lived through. -
The last extract we shall give
is from letter to her son, after the
election of Harrison: "Harrison has
written to your father, asking him to
be Secretary of State. Beside the
formal official letter, written by him
self, there is another letter, long and
personal full of cordial words and
good understanding, without one
syllable to which even the most ex
acting can take exceptions.
