That Extreme tired feeling afflicts nearly every body at this season. The hustlers cease to push, the tireless grow weary, the ener getic become enervated. Tea know just what we mean. Some men and women endeavor temporarily to overcome that Hired Feeling by great force of will. Bat this is unsafe, as it pulls powerfully upon the nervous system, which will not long stand such strain. Too many people "work on their nerves," and the result is seen in un fortunate wrecks marked "nervous pros tration," in every direction. That tired Ing is a positive proof of thin, weak, im ,pure blood; for, if the blood is rich, red, vitalized and vigorous, it imparts life and energy to every nerve, organ and tissue of the body. The necessity of taking . Hood's Sarsapariila for that tired feeling is, therefore, apparent to every one, and : the good it will do yon is equally beyond question..

DANA ON LINCOLN THE FAMOUS EDITOR LECTURES BE FORE A NEW HAVEN SOCIETY. "Uncoln snd Bis Cabinet" the Title of the Speech Cameron and Stanton His Opinion of Lincoln Inside History of at Constitutional 'Amendment. Charles A. Dana delivered a lecture before the New Haven County Histor ical society the other evening on his personal recollections of Lincoln, and his cabinet. Mr. Dana traced the history of the campaign that led to Mr. Lincoln's elec tion. His election, he. said, was due to a united Republican party, aided by Democrats from a disunited Democratic party. He dwelt at length upon the candidates who opposed Mr. Lincoln for the nomination, and remarked that the people then were just as eager as they now are to get rid of what they call "bosses." "But just what a boss is I have never been able to discover," Mr. Dana on tinned. "People complain about bosses, but I do not know of anything that suc ceeds that does not have a boss at the head. An army is not an army without a genera, and a ship is not navigated unless it has a boss at the helm. And it has been my experience that the man who kicks hardest against a political boss is the man who has tried hardest to run that boss to suit himself, and who has met with the poorest success." Mr. Dana named the members of President Lincoln's cabinet He spoke at length of Simon Cameron of Penn sylvania, first secretary of war under Lincoln, and who was succeeded by Stanton. He said Cameron was an able, loyal official and a painstaking and far seeing statesman. "The only criticism they could make of him was that he bought too many guns," Mr. Dana said, "but the truth was that he foresaw the great struggle that was on and appre ciated its magnitude." ''' Stanton was the most eloquent man Mr. Dana had ever known or heard. He mentioned an incident when a dozen Baltimore bankers, representing proba bly $50,000,000, went to Washington to protest against the arrest of Baltimore merchants who had been selling contra band articles to a southern peddler who acted as a sort of spy for the war de partment. "All of these splendid gentlemen, who came in long black coats, and who were very respectable indeed, were ush ered into Mr. Stanton's office and seated before the fire. Mr. Stanton asked me to come in, and added that all Balti more was there. One after another these gentlemen denounced the arrest of the merchants as groundless and outrageous. When they had finished, Mr. Stanton delivered the most eloqnent oration I ever listened to. "He told them how the war had been begun and how at that moment hun dreds of thousands of the best sons of the nation were lying dead on scores of battlefields. He concluded by telling them that they had come to Washington to seek aid for men who had been aid ing, the enemies of the Union, who were seeking to destroy it. When Mr. Stanton had finished, one by one they left the room without a word. " Mr. Dana finally described the presi dent. "Mr. Lincoln was not an educated man, in the sense that we here in New Haven know an educated man. His learning was of that type that is gained by rising at 6 o'clock in the morning, hoeing corn all day, and reading the best book he could get hold of by the light of a pine log at night. He had read considerable, and had a most ten acious memory. JBnr, above all, he had genius, which is so inestimably greater than learning. " In this connection Mr. Dana referred to a remark made by Seward regarding the famous speeches at Gettysburg, that Everett's was the speech of the scholar, Lincoln's an in spiration of genius. ; "And," Mr. Dana continued, "Mr. Seward was right, and Lincoln's speech will live as long as the English lan guage is read. Bnt Mr. Lincoln's great est characteristic was his wisdom. He never acted tod" soon, and he never struck too late. He was the most pa tient man I ever knew, and yet his will was always the law in the end. He was kind, gentle and had the most unbound ed humor. He was a plain man, honest, gentle and good, and by good I mean a good man in every sense of the word. Noither was he eccentric, as he has been described. There was nothing of the mysterious about him. He had the char acteristics of genius, but these were lovable traits of character.- - '"One day Mr. Lincoln- came to my office on the third floor of the war de partment. He liked to go about and at tend to matters himself instead of send ing for the men be wanted. The consti tutional amendment prohibiting slavery was then before congress and was to come up in a few days. The president said to me: 'Dan a, I am anxious about this matter. It is going to be a good deal closer than I should wish. There are three men I am uncertain about, and Lwant you to see them, for you know them' better than any one else.' I asked him what they would want. 'I do not know,' the president replied, 'but you can promise them anything you wish. One thing I do know, and that is that whatever you promise them I will give them.' - "I saw the three men. It does not now make any difference who they were. One was from New York and two were from New Jersey. Two wanted some internal revenue appointments, and I gave them. The other wanted the ap pointment of collector of customs of the port of New York, and I gave that to him. The amendment was passed, bnt a few days before the term of the collector expired Mr. Lincoln was assassinated. "I was then away in the west. I re ceived a telegram from Roacoe Conkling asking me to come to Washington. I went to Washington, and he asked me to see President Johnson and tell him that President Lincoln had made those promises and that they ought to be ful filled. I did so. ' President Johnson listened to me as I narrated the circum stances, repeating what President Lin coln had said that the alternative of losing those three votes was the losing of the amendment, and that meant the raising of another million troops. "President Johnson heard me out, and then said, 'Very well, Mr. Dana; I will not say that I will not make the appointment, but I will say this that I have noticed that such political prom ises of ttinies lead to immorality. ' The appoiatment was never made. "Lincoln was not a man," Mr. Dana conclnded,."ot low -or. ordinary birth, bnt 'descended from good Massachusetts stock. -'He rose by hard work and by genius to become one of the leading lawyers of the Illinois bar and finally president of the United States, and I doubt if there is a grander character in all modern history." New York Her ald. - - -' v - : - FARMING IN CHINA. Lessons In Irrigation May Be Learned From the Celestial. A Mongolian farmer has a small field of five Or ten acres. Upon this he must support himself, his wives and children and put : something by for a rainy day. iJis estate is a sandy plain which slopes from one end to the other. His first step is to divide it into counterparts by rais ing low walls or partitions of clay. They are usually 1 feet thick and 2 feet high. Where it is difficult to get clay be constructs the wall of the stones he finds in the soil or of broken bricks and tiles and stops np the crevices with clay or even mud. Any form of soil except ing sand is used in this manner. So far do they go that I have seen them gather ing the ooze, bared by the low tide, to build the walls with, tin each little com partment he builds a ditch in front of the lower wall, and at the corner of the compartment he- lowers the wall some: what for the water to flow from one compartment into the next adjoining. When it rains, the compartment fill, and the entire field looks like a lot of panes of glass; the water soaks slowly into the soil and keeps the ground moist enough for agricultural and horticul tural purposes for several montha Where the rainfall is but slight he digs a well at a point selected by an astrolo ger. This, individual is a bankrupt or dissipated scholar or priest, who has lost caste by reason of his infirmities and makes a living more or less precarious by astrology, fortune telling, selecting graves, finding subterranean water and similar superstitional occupations. ; He bears a striking resemblance to the sooth sayers and witches of our own history. Like them, be employs a divining rod and some arrangement in crystal which is supposed to. become cloudy when wa ter is near. His charge for indicating the place where a well will be success ful varies from 10 cents to 60 cents, and if his client secures an extra large sup ply he demands and receives a bonus of the same amount. These contrivances nine times ont of ten do their business welL Some go to great depths. It was from these deep pits that France and ourselves first derived the idea of the ar tesian well. . Water once reached, the farm labor starts to keep on forever. Some one of the family is always at the well, rais ing the precious fluid to the surface. It runs by a little canal to the top com partment and thence trickles through the entire field. When men and women work at it, they use a large measure, which brings up about five gallons ev ery time. When little children do the labor, a smaller measure, one that sel dom exceeds a gallon, is used instead. Oxen are sometimes employed, bnt en gines, windmills and other labor saving contrivances are never seen. The most patient animal ia the world, the human being, does nearly all the work. In Tong-an I once ran across a queer ma chine for sending water over the ter races from these wells. This was a large wooden X, which was whirled around by a combination of wire and string, something after the fashion of a Chinese top. This was kept running all day long by being tied to the great toes of several Chinese women, who sat upon the grass knitting and nursing their babies at the same time. Chinese are large employers of stor age reservoirs. These are not made ac cording to the rules of engineering, but of brute necessity. They are usually hollows which are walled up with earth excavated from their bottom, or else marshes or the dry beds of marshes which are similarly enlarged and con fined, and in some cases small valleys in which a retaining wall has been thrown up across its mouth. The im perial law favors to the utmost the use of water for irrigation by the farm er and discountenances any interference by middlemen or private capital. - The streams, no matter whether navigable,' the ponds and lakes are all government property and cannot be alienated. At the furthest, the private individual can only lease the land beneath the water, with the condition that the government can at any time enter in and take pos session of the property upon paying him for any improvement he may have made. ' - . ; Judges on Horseback. ; ; Before the days of Mary the judges rode to Westminster hall on mules, and Mr. Justice Whyddon, in ' the opening year of her reign, was the first to be stride a horSe in the solemn procession. In 1673, however, Judge Twisden, to the great consternation of his brethren, "from want of gravity in the beast and too much in the rider," was "laid along in the dirt" on a like occasion, since which time these cavalcades of mounted lawyers have come to an end. Hiding, however, till superseded by driving, re-, mained the only way of going circuit, for professional prejuaice ran strongly against pedestrian cironiteers, and many good stories have been told of great law yers who in those early years, when Slow rises worth by poverty depress, - found it difficult to raise funds for the purchase of a horse. In days more recent Mr. Justice Byles, well knowp for his work on-bills, was accustomed when at the bar to take a ride every afternoon. The sorry appear ance of his steed, however, roused the mirth of the Temple, and the horse was generally called Bills, to afford oppor tunity for the, alliterative combination, "There goes. Byles on Bills." If, how ever, report speak true, the animal was known to master and clerk under anoth er name, and when a too curious client inquired the sergeant's whereabouts the reply was given with clear conscience that he was "out on Business."

C. Peterson, of Falrharen, Tells a Reporter of Her Recent III- - - v, ... -;'-.- ness and Cure. ; From the World-Herald, Fail-haven, Wash. Mr. R. C. Peterson, of Fairhaven, Wash., who has been for a number of years a sufferer from, nervous porstra tion, rheumatism and female weakness, and who has lately entirely recovered tbereform, was called upon a few days ago by a Herald representative whose attention had been called to her case. In answer to an inquiry,. Mrs. Peterson Said: , ' . "Yes, I was a sufferer for many years from nervous attacks, rheuamtism and other complaints. We, my husband and I, expended a large sum of money in visiting the celebrated doctors of Denver, Salt Lake City and San Fran cisco, but my relief in -all cases was only temporary, and we had nearly despaired of my ever recovering my health, when, one day a friend advised Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, saying they had known of a case V6ry similar to mine, where a wonderful cure had been effected by their use. "Aoting upon this advice, as a last remedy,, my husband purchased a box of the Pink Pills more to please my friend than any belief in the medioine. However, before the box was half gone I felt a decided change for the better and after using three boxes was en tirely recovered, and felt as well and strong as I ever did. "Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, have oer tainly been a wonderfully effective Remedy for me, and I have no hesi tancy in recommending . them to any one who was affected as I was." - Dr. :- Williams' Pink Pills are not looked upon as. a patent medicine, but rather as a prescripiton.

Gladness Comes With a better understanding of the transient nature of the many phys ical ills, which vanish before proper ef fort gentle efforts pleasant efforts rightly directed. There is comfort in the knowledge, that so many forms of sickness are not due to any actual dis ease, but simply to a constipated condi tion of the system, which the pleasant family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt ly removes. That is why it is the only remedy with millions of families, and is everywhere esteemed so highly by all who value good health. Its beneficial effects are due to the fact, 'that it is the one remedy which promotes internal cleanliness without debilitating the organs on which it acts. It is therefore all important, in order to get its bene ficial effects, to note when you pur chase, that you have the genuine arti cle, which is manufactured by the Cali fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by all reputable druggists. : If in the enjoyment of good health, and the system is regular, laxatives or other remedies are then not needed. If afflicted with any actual disease, one may be commended to the most skillful physicians, but if in need of a laxative, one should have the best, and with the well-informed everywhere, Syrup of ITigs stands highest and is most largely tsed and gives most general satisfaction. THE EELS LIGHTHOUSE. Novel Invention of a New En&land Sea Captain. - Members' of the United States light house board are considering an inven tion made by Captain Eels, a New En gland mariner, and are inclined to re gard it as the best design ever present ed for building lighthouses in the open ocean. " , .. For three years engineers and scien tists have been working on a mammoth design for a lighthouse on the outer shoal off Cape Hatteras, and at last they believe they hare perfected a plan. It is estimated that it will cost at least $1,000,000 to carry it out. The design of the New England man provides for a light structure as higband as capable of displaying a light of the first order as any in the world, at a cost probably not exceeding $300,000. 1 - In general appearance the lighthouse looks like an inverted funnel, and when in place the big end will be on the bot tom, several feet In the sand, and the spigot end is to rise 100 feet, if neces sary, to-support the light, yhe draw ing of the design submitted to the treasury department represents a light house at least 150 feet high from the top of the lens to the bottom of i he water, the height above the water line to be about 100 feet. The most re markable feature of the scheme is the great diameter of the cylinder at the bottom and its comparative slender ness at the water line. "The base repre sents a circle whose diameter is at least seventy feet,' while a few feet above the water the structure is scarcely more than thirty feet through the center, and from that to the top of the light it con tinues to diminish until at the extreme top it is not more than twelve feet through. The big end of the funnel consists of two walls, one inside the other, with a space between of about eight feet at the bottom and graduating to four at the top, where the funnel meets the water line. This annular chamber is to be rilled with masonry, of which enough to ballast the struc ture and keep it In an upright position is to be built In before starting for the sea.' Steel composes the greater part of the structure, the framing and planting of the sides of the funnel being similar to the construction of a warship. When, the structure has been completed and towed out to sea and sunk, it is propos ed to fill in the space between the inner and outer chambers with : sand' and stones, and thus weigh down the great inverted funnel to a firm hold on the bottom. SAILORS' SUPERSTITIONS. How Jolly Jack Tar Used to Look Upon the Days of the Week. The old -superstition as to lucky and nnlucky days has largely passed away. Foreign mails start and arrive on Fri days without any regard for beliefs which were at one time accepted as be yond argument by most sailors. Some thought otherwise, as will later appear. Generally speaking, all saints' days and ehurch holidays were regarded as un lucky, and certain days in each month were rather distrusted. In an old alma nac of 1615 we find that July 19, 20, 24 and 31 were noted as "no good anchor age." Sunday was always looked upon as lucky, presumably in reliance on the maxim, "The - better the day the better the deed," and the fact of our Lord's resurrection having taken place on that day. - Monday had no particular reputation for .good or evil. Tuesday was the same, except amon Spaniards, who said, "Don't marry or go to sea or leave your wife on that day. " Wednesday was the day of Odin, the Norse god, and lucky. Thursday was named after Thor, the Norse god of war, and was auspicious. Friday was the day dedicated to Freya, Norse goddess of love, and haying refer ence to women was not liked on this ground The true reason for avoiding Friday 'was, of course, the fact of the crucifixion having taken place on that day, and sentiments of special venera tion for the day became converted into a feeling of fear for the results which would follow its violation. The Span iards, on the other hand, had a consid erable veneration for Friday and be lieved that some occult infinenoe enabled Columbus to successfully clear out of port and discover new land on that day. Saturday was generally considered aus picious. . , - - The origin of the phrase, "A capful of wind," can be traced to a Norse king, Eric VI, who died in 007 A. D. fie was credited with the useful power of direct ing tbe wind to blow where he wished by the simple method of turning bis cap to that point of tbe compass. His powers were much appreciated and trusted and resulted in his being known as "windy cap. " There is no evidence as to wheth er he could regulate the force of the wind as well as the direction ; presuma-. bly he could, or bis faithful believers would not have been so many. A "bag ful of wind" is another common ex pression and indicates something like a gale. This has been traced down to the classical legend of JEolus and his captive winds confined in bags.

Framer of the Indiana Military Bill Made Well by Paine's Celery Compound. Major Bobbins, of the Second Indi ana State guards, aide on Gen. Mo Kee's staff and president of camp Gray, has been for two years one of the most influential members of the Indiana legislature and the author of the famous Indiana Military Law of 1889. Major Bobibns was a very sick man up to the time of taking Paine's celery compound. In proof of what that remarkable remedy can do to make a siok person stiong and well, Major Bobbins' letter from Indianapolis best tells its own straightforward story. "I was troubled with a torpid liver, constipation and accompanying sallow complexion, while my entire nervous system -was entirely deranged, and I was greatly reduced in flesh. While in this condition I was taken down with a very severe attaok of the grip, and was, for a long time, confined to the house and my bed. "I resorted to various medioines and tonics, and under their temporary in fluence made several attempts to re sume my business of traveling about in the interests of A. Steffen, cigar manu facturer of this city; but relapse suc ceeded relapse, and I not only was obliged to abandon my business, but growing gradually worse, beoame ap prehensive of the utilimate result.

Following this my sleep lessness and headaches ceased, and I beagn to gain flesh. The insidious hold on me that the grip had hitherto had was relaxed, and I felt invigorated and strengthened, so I oould resume my vocation, and feel free from the languid, enervated feeling that had so long possessed me. "My friends were pleasantly sur prised with the change in my condi tion, and I was only too happy to recommend Paine's celery compound to suoh of my acquaintances as were suf fering from any of the complaints which so complicated my case. There fore, I again say I feel impelled by a sense of gratitude to express how muoh I have been helped, for I now feel and look like a new man."
