Dyspepsia* ■AM the lives ot many people miserable, and often leads to self-destruction. Distress after eating, sour stomach, sick headache, heartburn, loss of appetite, a faint," all gone ” feeling, bad taste, coated tonguo, and lrregn- larlty of the bowels, are DIStrOSS some of the more common After symptoms. Dyspepsia does _ not get well of Itself. It Eating requires careful, persistent attention, and a remedy like Hood’s Sana, parllla, which acta gently, yet surely sod eSeiently. It tones the stomach and other irgaim, regulates the digestion, creates 1 good appetite, and by thus tai-t overcoming the localsymp. toms removes the sympa- nSSaSCnS thetle efeets of the disease, banishes the tmsilsrhr and refreshes the tired mind. “ I have been troubled with dyspepsia, r had bnt little appetite, and what I did MS u . distressed me, or did me irealT jj^ good. In an hour DUrn after eating I would expe rience a faintness, or tired, all-gone feeling, as though I had not eaten anything. Hy trou ble, i think, was aggravated by my business, which Is that of a painter, and from being more or less shut up in a s Au . room with fresh paint. Last spring I took Hood’s Sarsa- otOmacn rllla—took three bottles. It did me an Immense amount of good. It gave me an appetite, and my food relished and satisfied the craving I had previously experienced.” George A. Page, Watertown, Mass. Hood’s Sarsaparilla Sold by all druggists, gl; six for £5.

In the Kentucky legislature last Thursday the Senate passed a bill granting a whipping post law to Graves county. A bill was also pass- ed calliog for a constitutional conven tion. Germany is the only civilized coun try in the world wherein murderers are still beheaded with an ax or sword. It might be added that the United States is the only country where the majority of murderers are not punish ed at all. Senator Joseph E. Brown was 09 years old last Tuesday. The senator’s health is improving, and he is feeling better than for many months. Ho hopes to be able to go to Washington later in the year and resume his seat in the senate.

Jacob Estky, the famous manufac turer of the organ by that name, died Tuesday, in Brattleboro, Vt., in his 77th year. His name is familiar in every city in the world on account of the organ which bears bis name. He leaves millions of dollars to liis heirs. He bequeathed thousands upon thous ands to charitable purposes. In Matable-land, South Africa, a wife costs five cows; this is paid to the girl’s father by the happy man. The price varies with the rank of the dusky damsel, sometimes as much as fiftv cows being demanded; bnt in such cases part of the cows are returned with the girl as a dowrg. Then an ox is killed before the girrt ‘kraal,’ she is aunointed with tbeblood, and a dance ensues. Savannah News of the 15th: Col.

Editors U nion-Rkco rdk b : Ex-Speaker Carlisle presented the minority report of the Ways and Means committee to the House. It takes the McKinley bill in detail and shows the injustice of that measure and goes into the strongest kind of argument in favor of a genuine tariff reform, one that will afford the coun try some real relief Instead of delud ing, as the McKinley bill will do, those who know no better, into expect log t eneflte that will never come until the democrats are returned to power. The democratic rooster has had a glorious time in Congress since the returns from tbe Spring elections be gan to come. It was for several days bard to find a democratic desk in tbe House that was not ornamented witli a newspaper with outs of one or more roosters lustily crowing for victory in its column, and the favorite democ.at- 1c pastime last week was to show these papers to tbe republican members. Seriously though, the best informed democrats in Congress believe the Spring local elections to be but the prelude of the great tidal wave which is to give the democrats the control of the next House of representatives, and the Presidency in 1892 Unless there is a great change of opinion among members of the House the abortion which the Judiciary committee reported and the Senate passed last week under the name of an anti-trust bill will never be heard trom in the House. It might as well have been called an anti-small pox bill, for all that it could accomplish if it wdre a law. The bill to appropriate $75,000 to make good the money stolen by Sil cott is a law, and the Congressmen who lost their November salaries have all been paid. Representative Wilson, who rankB high among the democratic leaders of the House, says the republicans will certainly pass a Federal election law during the present session. It they do, it will have to be ‘done by order of king caucus, because there are enough repnbHeans in tbe House who are opposed to any such law to de feat it unless they are compelled by order of the party caucus to swallow their opinions and vote with tbeir party. The republicans of both Senate and House have t heid caucus after cau cus witbin ‘the last few days try ing to get together on tbe silver question. Secretary Windom has brought all of his powers for per suasion into action in trying to have the caucus adopt his silver bill, now before a House committee, but so far nothing is agreed upon. Be tween the anti-silver republicans and the free coinage republicans there is a wide chasm which will have to be bridged iu some way before anything like unity cun exist in the party on this subject. In the meantime the most of the democrats hold them selves in readiness to vote for free coinage, pure and simple, if they can get an opportunity. The bill to revive the grade of lieu tenant general of the Army ha% been favorably reported to tbe ^Senate. If it becomes a law it is expected that Gen. Schofield will at once be pro moted. The Torrey bankruptcy bill has been favorably reported to the House. This bill has been very highly spoken of by lawyers as being equally just to both creditor and debtor. The Pan American Congress wants an international American Bank es tablished under a United States char ter, with branches in all American countries. The Congress will adjourn this week, and on Friday the dele gates start on their Southern trip. The Tanner administration of the Pension offlee lias been stirred up again by tbe dismissal of tbe assistant chief or an important division, who had his pension re-rated. Ttiey go slowly but they go. Brokers from New York, Chicago and New Orleans have sent delega tions here to protest against the pas sage of the Butterworth bill taxing dealers in “futures” and “options.” Another democrat—Representative Wise of Virginia—lias been deprived of tiie seat in the House of Represen tatives to which he had been legally elected, and a republican put in his place who was not elected at all. Supervising Architect of the Treas ury Windrim denies that he wus in fluenced in electing the site for a pub lic building at Springfield, Missouri, by winning a large amount of money in a game of poker from a party in terested, as has been charged. , Mr. Harrison has, by authority con ferred upon him by act of Congress, presented a gold medal to Mr. Joseph Francis, the inventor of the first life saving car. Mr. Francis is 89 years of uge and extremely feeble. The World’s Fair business may be regarded as settled. The Senate com mittee lias, favorably reported the Chicago bill, slightly amended; and it will be passed by the Senate in nTPw days. Just fifty years ago or in 1840, Wil liam F. Andrews, a master mason of Providence, R. I., stamped his initials on a copper cent, and put it in circu lation. Last Monday, in taking some change, he found his coin. After fifty years of wandering it had returned and lie would not take hundreds of dollars for it. Number 42. -l.._ i.'.-jaB 1889 The United States Official Investigation of Baking Powders, Made under authority of Congress by the Chemical Division of‘the Department of Agriculture, Washington, D. C., and recently completed. Shows the Royal Baking Powder to be a cream of tartar baking pow der of the highest quality, superior to all others in strength, leaven ing power, and general usefulness. The Royal Baking Powder is thus distinguished by the highest expert official authority the leading Baking Powder of the world. Letter From Eleanor Kirk. I From Our Regular Correspondent. Brooklyn. April llth. 1890. 780 Lafayette Ave. The following extract from a letter lately received is by no means a nov elty. In fact the frequency of such communications seems to me as start ling at it is insignificant. “I beg you will not think that I do not lore my husband, when I tell you that I cannot bear to accept money from him,” mycorrespondeut writes. ‘4 have been married five years, and I have never yet asked him for a dollar though the necessity for dolug so has often been very great. I cannot re concile this reticence with perfect love, but I do not think any woman ever cared more for her husband than I do for mine. Can you tell me what this means?” It is my opinion that if a concensus of sentiment could be readied it would be found that at least, half of our mar ried women fed the same way. Per haps I can go farther and say that no woman of spirit and sensibility wus ever yet known to like to ask her hus band for mopey. Such uthiugsliould not be required of a woman. A stat ed suin should always be placed at her disposal, and the suppliant act abolished. Another woman writes: “Why, l had rather go bareheaded and in rags, than ask my husbaud for money to buy clothes." Life is very hard for such wives, since the diburse- ment of money in the family and the shop forms a large part of the aver age existence. Women wtio have giv en up independent occupations to be come wives, perhaps feel more keenly than others in this regard. I have very serious convictions as to the ad- visitability of sacrificing a paying bus- ness for a doubtful support. Ifainun can comfortably maintain his wife, and is man enough to make such an arrangement that she need never feei the sense of dependence, then it is per haps safe enough to give up an active for a passive independence, provided ; of course an honest Hlfection is the foundation of tiie contract. Bur even under such circumstances, witli my experience and observation I should feel like having a string tied to tiie source of my past revenue. Surely, one cannot be too careful. I never could see why a woman who was in dependent in a trade or a profession need give up either. There is always some arrangement that can be made to tide over times when marital exi gencies call a halt. Why should not the wife contribute to tiie new house? Why should she not own some stock of her very own? Why may not hus band and wife meet in Imsii ess as in tiie domestic circle? ‘.‘Tiie home will suffer,” say some of my readers. The best regulated homes that 1 know of to-day are those in which tiie husband acd wife imve an equal interest in making, and the most unhappy are those where the wife is compelled to submit to a Servile dependence upon a man wiio feels that she is not to be trusted with money. Every wife should have tier own purse, and this should be filled according to the cir cumstances of her husband. But tiie purse which gives tiie most satisfac tion to every properly constituted wo man, is ihe oue in which some of tlip dollars at least are tier very own# earned by her own energy und tal ent. While willing to give all the Infor ■nation possible on every subject 1 am conversant with, I must insist up on drawing the line somewhere, and I find it necessary to draw it in tiie medical field. I have enough ques tions asked me on medical subjects to confound the most inspired andi-cieD tlfic physician. I have never taken a medical degree, and everything I huve learned lias been by observation. The things that I have proved true, l am glad to tell to my neighbors? but I am always very careful never to recom mend anything that a good physician will not endorse, aud for that, reason 1 cannot give ail vice except in a gene ral way to the readers who are dissat isfied witli tbs treatment they arc re ceiving. When I said a couple of weeks ago that when quinine was necessury it had best be taken in tiie form ot the soft capsules of (juinlno Sulphate and not in pills, I stated what I knew to be true and what ev ery intelligent physician will beur me out in. But when my friends ask me how often these soft Capsules should be taken In carfe of malaria, and influ enza, and headache, and lassitude, I draw the line right there, and reply, ask your physician, or your druggist, if the tatter is wide awake aud intelli gent. But dou’t ask me, because I know nothing of your constitution or your malady, and beoause I am not u doctor. But I cun say without fear of contradiction that the soft capsules of Quinine Sulphate are much super ior to pills, and that is as far as I can KO. Three months ago a dead baby was born to a little feather headed girl wife, who notwithstanding the light ness of tier brain, had managed to have her own way in everything. She had [lulled in a twenty-four inch waist to the dimensions of an eighteen inch corset, ftnd hud so spoiled her gait to say nothing of contracting an irrepar able spinal injury, that she had the appearance of walking on small rol lers, or castors. A physician brought into consultation at tiie most critical period, and afterwards retained hy the family, prescribed shoes wide enough for her feet, witli spring heels, and gowns and petticoats of the light est possible weight, and all hanging from the shoulders. This prescrip tion was received witli angry tears. “If you do not dress sensibly you will die,” tiie doctor told her. “I’d rather die than look like a fright,” was tiie answer. A few days later u friend ex hibited witli considerable pride, a pair of slioes witli tiie new fashionable spring heel, she had just bought. Tiie in valid laughed at them. “ Why, they are all the rage,” said the visitor, i “you wouldn’t catch me weuring tlieui I if (iiey were not.” That settle J it. Feather-head sent immediately for some new boots. Once iu a great while D ime Fashion makes a change iu tiie interest of health. Let us be sure and give her full credit. I hare been asked several times if physicians considered chocolate bad ior weak stomachs. By tiie way most of them recommend it for ail kinds and descriptions of invalids, I should say they preferred it as a beverage for their patients to either coffee or tea. Typhoid convalescents at our hospit als are fed on Chocolat-Menier and every physician of my acquaintance prescribes chocolate for patients suf fering from nervous dyspepsia. Many take their Menier botli for breakfast aud luncheon und find it, to use a neighbor’s phrase, "very re-hubili fating and delicious.” Tills recipe for Spanish Omelet, for which I liuve been asked, was obtain ed many years ago, from a famous New York Restaurant, it was oue of their noted dishes. One small onion, shopped fine, fr ed in butter, two ta- blespoonfiils thick cooked tomatoes, (canned will do), three eggs, whites and yolks beaten separately, pepper and salt to taste. Mix well. It should be well done, and brown ed. ELEANOR KIRK. One of tiie finest pieces of work ever turned out at Mare Island navy yard, Man Francisco, is a whale boat built for King Lalietoa of Samoa, to be pre sented to him by this government as a token of esteem for his kindness to American officers and sailors at the wreck of the Trenton and Vandi- la. A Short Sermon. If yon have catarrh, use the surest remedy—Dr. Sage’s. A few months ago there was a hap py family in Atlanta. Grant F. Ed wards was a poor man who attended to tiie engine iu tiie press rooms of the Atlautu Journal, receiving one dollur arid u half per day. He and Mrs. Edwards lived happily together aud had so lived for iiiauy years. So loug as they were poor aud had to la bor for a living there was no diaooni, no unhappiness. But Edwards draw $15,000 from the Louisiana state lot tery. He suddenly beoame a man of means and of leisure. Tbe wife was able to hire her dresses made aud to have a cook. Idleness aud money to spend soott brought ou a desire to have a good time. They traveled and, as each says of the other, “got to drinking.” A divorce suit, is the re sult. Habitual drunkenness on the part of the wife is charged by the husband Habitual drunkenness and cruelty on tiie par of tiie husband i« charged by the wife. Moral: Money can not buy liappines but frequently brings misery noil ruin. THE 8ALT OF THE EARTH If the feet are teml-r or painful af ter lotig standing, gre.it relief can be laid by bathing them in salt and wa ter. A handful of salt, to a gallon of water is tit* right proportion. Have thf* water hot ns oat) be comfortably borne. Immerse tiie feet and throw- tile water over I he legs us far as the knees witli tiie hands. When the wa ter becomes too cool rub brisk! v- with a flesh towel. This method, if used night aud morning, will cure neural gia of tiie feet. Carpets may be greatly brightened hy first sweeping thoroughly, and then goiug over them witli a clean cloth and clear salt to a large basin of water. If lifter having a tooth pulled the. mouth is filled witli salt and water, it will allay the danger of having a hem orrhage. To clean willow furniture use salt and water. Apply it, with a nail brush, scrub well and dry thoroughly. When broiling steak, throw u little salt on the coals and tiie blaze from dripping fat will not annoy. Damp salt will remove the discolor ation of cups and saucers caused by tea and careless washing. Brass work can be kept beautifully bright by occasionally rubbing with salt and vinegar. Wash the mica of the stove doors with salt and vinegar. Sait in whitewash will make it stick better. Sait and water cleans willow furni ture. Courtesy Pays. “i always make it a point,” remark ed a manufacturer, the other day. "to reply to every communication of a business uaturu addressed to me- It doesn't? matter what it is about provided only that it is couched in (uvil language. I do this because courtesy requires that I should; but aside from that, 1 find also that it is good policy. Time aud again in my bfe 1 have been reminded by newlv secured customers that I was remem bered through correspondence open- ed with me years before, and many orders Imve come to me through this passing and friendly aequaiutanee witli people. On the other hand I have known plenty of business men whose disrespectful treatment of correspond- ents has been bitterly remembered and repaid with ooiupound interest. Silence is tiie meanest and most con temptuous way of treating anybody who wishes to be heard and to hear tut i8 ita answer every time.”—Age of Steel. ■
