prostration, whirl) js a
source of insunity and crime
with all their grief mid horror.
These facts are startling.
They threaten the very life of
the nation. They assail the
springs of its power and pros
perity. They wreck manhood’s
strength and woman's useful
ness urid beauty.
Every one shbiild know the
causes. ' What are they ? The.
answer is easy and terribly
plain: Our vicious personal
habits; our careless and lawless
eating and drinking; the in
tense mental and physical strain
arising from otir hiad race after
money? position and influence;
the fears and struggles of pov
erty;'the use of narcotics find
stimulants; „ Our fashion of
turning day into night arid
night into d:ly; ancf, briefly,
our desperate willingness to
! pay 1 any price for an hour’s
pleasure or success. So we
rmmi life’s caiidfe at both ends
and fill the lunatic asylums
and the graveyards.
The disease from Yrlrich we
suffer and die- is* in plain Eng
lish, Nei'i'oua Dyspepsia, as it
is seated in the Nerves and iu
the organs of-Digestion, Assim
ilation and Nutrition. Healthy
digestion being* impeded or des
troyed, the whole body, • nerves
included, is literally starved;
even when there is no emaci
ation to tell the sad story.
Nervous prostration sends
out its warnings:—headache
in the morning; a persistent
(lull heaviness or aelung at the
base of the brain; walcef illness;
loSs of,appetite anddisgust with
food; loss of mental energy arid
interest in ordinary dirties and
business; restlessness and anx
iety without apy * assignable
: r e ft s o n; , eructations; bad
breath; foul . mucous on the
tpetii; occasional giddiness;
jHilpitation of the heart;, sal
lowness of tke iSkin ; coated
tongue and gradual failure of
strength and ambition.
The remedy is a total aban
donment of the habits and cus
toms which cause the disease
in each individual case, and the,
great remedy, prepared by the
Shaker Community of Mt. Leb-
anpn, N. V., is especially adapt
ed to eradicate Nervous Dys
pepsia. To do this it acts
directly and*gently bid; power
fully upon the disordered stom
ach, liver arid kidneys, restor
ing their tone and vigor, pro
moting the secretion ot bile, ex
pelling waste matters from the
system,and purifying the blood.
Upon the nervous system
Shaker Ext rac^Seigel’s Syrup)
acts ns a safe aiid wholesonTe
anodyne without the slightest
narcotic effect, and then leaves
tlie nerves to regairi their nat
ural tope and strength through
its wonderful influence upon
the function of nutrition.
It is safe to say more nerv
ous dyspeptics have l»een re-
smreu by it. from the depths
misery to a fresh enjoyment

' A Royal Itiiilipad Car,
When the Emperor William travels
. every possible measure is taken to pro
vide for his comfort. The Emperor’s
special train consists of three saloon
carriages, connected with each other
by a covered wav. The imperial car
riage proper is hung with blue damask,,
and at onfr end there is a small com
partment in which the Emperor likes
to stand at the window when making
short journeys. A small saloon next
to ids coupe contains a sofa and a
spring seat, opposite which is the
Emperor’s camp bed.
Near the saloon is the study, in which
stands a desk with writing materials,
whoso appearance shows good wear.
Upon a bracket above the desk is a
small model of tlie Column of' Victory
in Berlin. Adjacent to the'study is a
dressing-room, fitted up with extreme
care and I taste.' A finalrooti)con
tains two smtdl sofas, a loaf table and a
large mirror. With the Emperors own
carriage is a enrrige for hi** suite, and
this is, of course, quite differently fitted
up. It contains five or six apartments,
ea’oh containing a table and two small
eouehes. All the rooms are connected
by telegraph with the Emperor's apart
ments. The carriages are provided
with gas through-mt".

Bottled Tear*.
In Persia they bottle up their tears
a*( of old. This isTione in the following
manner. As the mourners are sitting
around and weeping the master of cere
monies presents each one with a piece
of cotton wool, with which ho wipes
off his tears. The cotton is afterward
squeezed into a bottle, and the tears
arc preserved as a powerful and effi
cacious remedy for reviving a dying
man after every other means have
failed. This custom Is probably al
luded to in Pshlm, Ivt 8:—“ Put thou
my tears Into a bottle.” The prae-
t ce "as onre ujliveisil, as is found
by the tear bottles which are
in almost every ancient tomb. j

Teter Kennny, a telegraph operator at
lugrnjn Station tm the (LBttiiihi.
Cincinnati and St. Louis Hailroad. had
an adventure that lu* will not. soon for
get. While engaged at his instruhigm,
about one o’clock he heard a noise a?
of someone trying, to open tlie door,
but thought nothing of if, nor even
looked up from his work, until st r.led
by a touch on his coat-sleeve. He
turned partly around, and to his horror
saw a tall, gaunt figure, dressed iu
white witlUi long knife in his hand
standing directly over him. He cleared
the slight railing surrounding bis desk
at a single bound,: but the strange visi-
;tor was between" him ancl the door, and
he began pleading for his life. TU&
spectre made no move to follotv^him
except to .prey.ent his escape by tty*
door.
As the ghostly creature made no ad
vance the operator in a measure recov
ered his self-possession • and stood on
the defensive in tlie farthest corner of
the room!* ’The apparition then Seated
itself in Kennay’s chair before the tele
graph instruments, keeping a close
watch on the movements of the oper
ator. They maihtnin'MiBitfiiiittije^rfela^

been stopped for the signal to go ahead,
'lilie crew of the first train filially WJjlked
up tlie track to the telegraph office to
find out the' cause Of the delay,when
thoy ; discovered the operator’s predica
ment, and subd.ued. Iiis captor after a
desperate struggle. It was subse
quently lqarned that the strange visi
tor was a crazy operator residing at
