Realfl the following:
“I; have always been healthy with the ex
ception of a touch of rheumatism since my
age came on, up to the time of my husband's
last illness some years ago. I assisted in
nursing my husband for nearly three months
when, he .departed this life and the mental
strain,,I think, caused my trouble. Aside
from extreme nervousness my trouble com
menced with sore throat tmd<neuralgi,i< i My
Phj'Msiau feaVb 'me, purgative doses which
Weakened' me very much and my stomach
for a. time seemed inactive. Mental strain
and the dormant condition of my stomach
soon told upon my general health. I had
little appetite.and Was'soon.forced to stay in
bed a greater part of the. time. Within a
week after the time I began- taking Dr,
Miles’ Restorative Nervine and Tonic I was
up about the house. I continued their use
until completely cured. My faitli in Dr.
Miles' Remedies has been strengthened by
experience of other people, our daughter hav
ing used Restorative Nervine with splendid
results .in a case of paralysis and a friend to
whbmTsent.a box of the Anti-l’ain Pills re
ports that she has been completely cured Of
neuralgia by their use. I know of a number
of qtliers whom yourmedicinc lias helped in a
large degree. I wish you continued success,”

Silk Culture in Southern States.
Secretary Wilson exhibited on
his desk in the agricultural de
partment . the first hank of silk
reeled from the silk reeling ma
chines recently purchased by the
department. There are three of
these machines, though only one
of them has been put in opera
tion, the ‘intention being to send
one of the two remaining ma
chines to Tuskegee and the other
to some other place where suffi
cient interest may beshown tolearn
to operate it. Cocoons have been
purchased from all over the coun
try and two expert female French
operatives have, been brought to
Washington to teach the opera
tion of the machines. It is Sec
retary Wilson’s desire to have the
people of the South, and espe
cially colored persons, learn the
business, .because of the compara
tive cheapness of the labor. Ar
rangements have already been
made to have some girls come to
Washington to learn the machines
and they are expected daily.
Secretary Wilson says that the
department is prepared to do
everything possible to encourage
the industry and that silk worm
eggs as well as young mulberry
trees will be supplied to persons
desiring to engage in the business.
The department at present is
buying cocoons wherever offered,
but reeling centers will be estab
lished as fast ts possible, and
each of these will be a cocoon
market. The silk produced is of
a very fine quality. The depart
ment is prepared at present to
turn out about twelve hanks per
day.
“We hope soon to have enough
to make a flag for the president,”
said Secretary Wilson. “The
Ilnibpd States imports $75,000,-
000 worth of silk annually, and it
behooves us to do all we can to
establish the industry.”

History Repeating Itself.
“Daughter, you ought not to
wear those high-heeld shoes.
They will make corns on your
feet,” so the Chicago Tribune re
ports.
“How"do you know, mamma?”
“By experience. I used to
wear them when I was a girl.”
“Did grandma tell you they
would make corns on your feet if
you wore them?”
“Yes.”
“How did she know?”
“She found out by experience,
just as I did.”
“Hadn’t she any mamma to
warn her against wearing them?”
“O, yes.”
■ “But she wore them just the
same?”
“To be sure.”
“And you did, too?”
“Yes; that is what I was tell
ing you.”
“Well, if I ever have any daugh
ters I’ll have to be able to give
them a warning against high-
heeled shoes from my own expe
rience, won’t I?”
(Puts them on.)
John D. Grimm ins, the New
York street railroad magnate,
alighted from a carat Fifty-ninth
street and Sixth avenue a few
days ago, wlnre a number of boys
were playing. One of them said,
laughingly: “Mr. Crimmins, you
own lots of railroads; won’t you
give us one?” The millionaire
smiled at the boys as they danced
around him and said to the lad
who had addressed him: “You
young. rogue, this is not my day
for giving away railroads. Here’s
a dime for you. It’s more than
1 had at your age, and if you use
it as I UBed my first dime you
may have a railroad of your own

A Substitute for the Mule.
The enterprising Germans, ac
cording to report, have manufac
tured a new beast of burden, or
draft animal, called the zebrula.
It is a cross between the horse and
the zebra, and experiments are al
leged to have proved that for work
in warm climates it is superior
to the familiar cross between the
horse and the donkey. .
According to Bradstreet’s re
port on the authority of a consul
in Germany, this new hybrid, is
remarkable for the “special hard
ness of the hoofs,” and “is at
least as intelligent as the mule,
and is much livelier . . . So
successful have been the experi
ments that it is confidently as
serted in Germany that the ze-
brula will entirely supersede the
mule as a transport animal.”
The zebrula might be at least
as intelligent as the mule and yet
not give proof of extraordinary
mental equipment. And this new
son of the wild striped zebra of
the desert may be toe lively. It
is one of the charms of the mule
that it is patient rather than live
ly. It does not kick itself out of
the traces and lead the plowman
a race across field and meadow a
dozen times a day because of a
lively disposition, This the pro
geny of the zebra would be likely
to do, if there is anything in her
edity. The horse has been tamed,
the donkey has humbly slaved for
man many thousands of years,
but the zebrula still runs wild.
It oannot be expeoted, therefore,
that the zebrula will be found as
traotable as the mule. The for
mer may fill a want iu German
East Africa, if it can be success
fully domesticated, but it may
well be doubted whether it will
ever “supersede” the mule,on the
southern plantatioxi. —Macon Tel

Ootton and Frost.
A question of no little interest
is raised in the course of the dis
cussion of cotton possibilities in
Egypt and Cuba,
Can eattoh be grown success
fully where there is no frost?
Au old-timer, writing from Flor
ida to the New-York Sun, quotes
John C. Calhoun as having de
clared in a masterly speech in the
United States senate that “cotton
oannot be successfully—that is,
profitably—raised where there is
no frost.”
The writer, who describes him
self as an octogenarian,,,, says he
aas long been a southern farmer
and lie has learned Mr. Calhoun’s
dictum is true.. The cost of elim
inating the last year’s foliage, un
aided by frost, is, he declares, too
great to make the culture of cot
ton under such circumstances
profitable.
Is this true?—Atlanta Consti
tution.
