Suffered 20 Years. M RS. MARY LEWIS*, wife of a promi nent farmer, and well known by all old residents near Belmont, N. Y,. writes: “For twenty-seven years I had been a constant sufferer from nervous prostra tion, and paid large sums of money for doc tors and advertised remedies without-bene fit. Three years ago my condition was alarming; the least noise would startle and unnerve me. I was unable to sleep, had a number of sinking spells and slowly grew worse. I began using Dr. Miles’ Restorative Nervine and Nerve and Liver Pills. At first the medicine seemed to have no effect, but after taking a few bottles I began to notice a change; I rested better at night, my appe tite began to improve and I rapidly grew better, until now I am as nearly restored to health as one of my age may expect. God bless Dr.Miles’Nervine:” | Dr. Miles’ Remedy are sold by all drug gists under a positive guarantee, first bottle benefits or money re funded. Book on dis eases of the heart and nerves free. Address. DR. MILES MEDICAL CO., Elkhart, Ind. Modern Naval Conveniences. The men of cur modern navy will go into battle, or blockading services, surrounded by conveni ences and luxuries which were un dreamed of m the days of Decatur, Hull and Tatnall. The govern ment has just bought s. refrigera ting ship, which is,f.o be attached to Sampson’s squadron. Thus the squadron will be supplied at all times with pure and wholesome fresh meats, whereas the old tim ers had to fight on, salt, meat and hard bread, and often even that was not in good condition. Be yond that, the modern Jackie, when sick or wounded, will be ta ken to a clean, roomy and com fortable hospital ship, amply pro* vided with doctors and nurses, in stead of being stowed away in a close and stuffy .sick bay on the fighting vessel.—Savannah News. Literary Notes. According to a writer in Success, Mrs. Amelia E. Barr draws an in come of $20,000 a year for her writings. The assertion is made that for the last twenty years Alphonse Daudet never made less than $20,- 000 a year from his work. Germany publishes more than twice as many books as France every year, from 20,000 to 25,000 being her annual output to 10,000 to France. The original of Sandy, the laird of Cockpen, in duMaurier’s “Trilby,” has just died. He was T. R. Lamont, and the description of him is said to be remarkably accurate. He studied art in Paris. e Nansen, having made a comfort able fortune out of his book, “Farthest North,” Johansen, his comrade, of the sledge journey, is reaching for a share of the plumes. It is rumored that he has received $3,000 for his English rights of his coming artic volume, and the German, Norwegian and French editions will, no doubt, be profit able also. The grave of Benjamin Franklin j in Philadelphia, is in a neglected condition. No appropriate stone rises over it, and the ground about it is uncared for. Only an old- fashioned marble slab covers the spot where the great man lies and this (now worn and discolored by age) was placed there over a hundred years ago and nothing has been done to it since. The connection of Zola with the Dreyfus matter has had one effect on the sale of the latest book, “Paris.” France bought fewer and outside countries more of the books in consequence. Before the trial 63,000 copies of the book had been ordered by booksellers and before the day of publication 10,000 of the orders had been can celled in France—but 15,000 extra orders had been received from outside countries. Of the books sent away, Russia took the most, Germany, England and Italy following after. America's Greatest Medicine, It will Sharpen Your Appetite, Purify and Vitalize Your Blood.

Gordon thinks the war with Spain should be rushed to a conclusion. ’ In the course of an interwiew a few daye ago, he said: “The best way to avoid losses by fever and bullets is to crush the Spaniards with one blow and bring our army back home.” It is evident that the administra tion is preparing to act in line with Gen. Gordon’s opinion. Unless the Spanish fleets make a better showing than they have yet done, the spirit will all be taken out of the Spanish land troops in Cuba, andgjthe one crushing blow may be delivered without delay.—Savan nah News. Pointed Paragraphs. It is better to be lonely than to be bored. Money is everything to the poor fellow who hasn’t a cent. Self love prevents some people from loving more than once. Withering looks will not make a talkative woman dry up. A thorn in the flesh is more troublesome than two in the bush. The average man seems fo think that others expect too much of him. Lying will never become a lost art until all the men and women have been buried. A girl seldom objects to a young man stealing something from under her very nose. When men quit the prize ring and women give up the marriage ring, there’s new stars in the theatrical firmament. Any fool can distinguish be tween virtues and vices, but it takes a wise man to'act according to his understanding. It is weH enough to • pu.t your trust in Providence, but it. is un wise to go around looking for holes for Providence to pull you out of. When the great Farragut said “damn the torpedoes” and ordered his flagship, the Hartford, to lead his fleet into Mobile bay, after the boat that had been leading the fleet signaled to him “torpedoes,” he set an example that slept in the peaceful bosom of the American navy from August 5th, 1864, until May lj 1898 when it awakened to make George Dewey a hero. It is not knowu whether Dewey used his old comrades words but he did emulate his .daring deeds, and they won Manilla for American arms and an admiral’s rank for Dewey. It preserves the flesh when lacerated or wounded in any way. Stops the bleeding, stops the pain and heals quicker than anything. That is what Dr. Tiehenor's Antiseptic does.

Every day strengthens the belief of emi nent physicians that impure blood is the cause of the majority of cur disease.-. Twenty-five years ago this theory was used as a basis for the formula of Browns’ Iron Bitters. The many remarkable cures effected by this famous old household remedy aiv sufficient to prove that the theory is correct. Browns’ Iroji Bitters is sold by all dealers. Several American millionaires have patriotically offered large sums of money to defend this country. If all of them would in sist upon an income tax it would prove thoroughly effective and much more patriotic, says the Dal ton Citizen. Bicycle handlebars are being coated their entire length with a mixture of ground cork and shel lac, so that riders can grasp their bar at any place without coming in contact with the metal. The war with Spain may be ot short duration, but the Philippine Islands, Porto Rico and Cuba will all have to be occupied until peace has been restored and stable gov ernments have been established. And those of our boys who are now enlisting in the army “for two years or until the war is over,” will do well to get back by next Christmas.—Albany Herald.
