Extreme tired feeling afflicts nearly every body at this season. The hustlers cease to push, the tireless grow weary, the ener getic become enervated.' You know just what we mean. Some men and women endeavor temporarily to overcome that Feeling by great force. of will. But this is unsafe, as it pulls powerfully upon the t 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 Sa saparilla for that tired feeling is, therefore, apparent to every one, and the good it will do you is .equally beyond question.

He had 1)011) baa da in the air and was looking into the barrel of a revolv er, but he retained his presence of mind. "I presume," he said, "that yon be lieve in an eqnal distribution of proper ty." "That's wot," replied the highway man as he began going through the via tim's pockets. ! "I supposed so. That's usually the way with men of your class, but you ar gue from false premises. You try to justify your actions" "Shut up!" "Oh, I'm not going to give you a lec ture on your evil ways. In faot, I may say that I am willing to accept your theory of life temporarily. "Well, shell out, then." . "Certainly, , certainly, anything have. But am I to understand that you insist upon operating upon that theory? The highwayman nodded, and the victim deposited a bunch of keys, an old silver watch and two nickels on the fenoepost beside which he was etand ing. " : "That's all I have," he said. . The highwayman gave an exclama tion of disgust and pushed all the arti cles off on to the sidewalk. "I ain't robbin paupers," he said. "Of : course not, " replied the victim cheerily, "but this isn't robbery, you know. It's the theory of equal division of property. - You get half of that stuff, and I'll just take one of those handsome revolvers that , you have. That s fair and right in line with your" . But the highwayman declined, and he did it very roughly too. "And yet," said the victinfas he put the silver watch back in his pocket, "he was the one who upheld the theory. It only shows that these idealists don't live up to their teachings when it comes down to the stern realities of life. " Chicago Post. .

Gladness Comes With a better understanding of the transient nature of the many phys ical ills, which vanish before proper ef forts 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.

Plants Are Developed to Twice Their Nat- oral Size They Promise to Produce Re markable Cures In Tubercular Diseases, An Instance of Rheumatism. While the whole electrical world is studying the effects and behavior of X rays and the medical profession is test ing their value for the purposes of diag' noses, it has remained for Dr. J, Mount Bleyer of New York to direct attention to the possibilities of these and other light rays in the field of therapeutics, Dr. Bleyer, who is an F. R. A. M. S., a member of the French Electro-Thera peutical society of Paris and a professor in the National School of Eleotro-Thera peutics, has an article in the last num ber of the New York Medical Journal, entitled "Crookes' X and Other Light Rays A Problem Yet to Be Solved In Therapeutics, Etc'." x "It is fair to presume, " he says, "that the rays have a subtler power than this one of penetration. Ordinary light is one of the main factors in the develop ment and growth of animal life. We have studied the effects in this direc tion, and know that sunlight is essen tial for the growth and development of both animal and vegetable tissue. What effeot may these different light ruys have on pathological conditions? I have undertaken a few investigations in or der to ascertain the effects of these rays upon animal life and upon the tissues. The only leg we have to stand upon at present is the singular phenomenon of the penetrative force of these rays. Is not the hypothesis fair to set up that these rays, in forcing their way through tissues, exercise some action upon the tissues in their transit through them? The work is notably slow and tedious, besides involving muoh cost and time, I can hold forth little beyond saying that up to the present moment close ob servation of the action Of these rays up on animal and vegetable life is being carried on. After referring to such evidence as has been accumulated on the subject, Dr. Bleyer concludes: "Why, then, may we not expect that rays of light propagated from many sources will give us valuable effects in disease and growth? I bring these arguments and the problematic question before the notice of the pro fession in order to stimulate others be sides myself to enlarge this field of in vestigation, .as there is no telling what bidden forces await our unraveling of their laws and their probable therapeutic application, etc. Dr. Bleyer was found at his residence, and asked by a reporter to state more fully the nature of his observations and discoveries. " "I am not yet prepared, " he said, "to go into details, because these must first be communicated to my profession, but I can tell you some things in a gen eral way. First, do not make the mis take of supposing that I am confining myself to experiments with the X rays. I am studying the effects of different rays of light both singly and in combi nation with each other, and have secured some remarkable results. The remark able effects of the rays of .the ordinary aro light in forcing the growth and frui tion of plants have been observed both by myself and. the authorities of the botanical gardens at Washington. Un der their influence many plants can be nearly doubled in size and brought to fruitage in a very much shorter time than by the ordinary course of nature. I recently ripened a green banana in 14 hours by exposing it to arc light rays. Think of the commercial possibilities of producing fruits and vegetables in ad vance of their season by the use of elec trio light I "Now, as to therapeutical results, I have made experiments which satisfy me that the bacilli of diphtheria and tuberculosis can be speedily and effectu ally destroyed by concentrated rays of sunlight brought to bear on them. I re cently destroyed some specimens of both in from four to ten minutes. My meth od would be to concentrate the sun's rays by lenses and pass them through the chest or throat of the patient, ac cording to the nature of his affection, after interposing a plate of blue glass to interrupt the heat rays. ' "This brings us back to the theory ad vanced 20 years ago by the late General Pleasanton ijt the United States army. His theory caused a good deal of fun to be poked at him, but he was nearer truth than his critics suspected. About ten days ago a man came to me suffer ing from a rheumatio knee joint. By the use of concentrated sun rays passed through a plate of blue glass I cured him entirely in four days. "From this time I shall devote my self to the treatment of phthisis by this method. I do not mean that anything can be done for a patient in the last stages of consumption, but I have great hope of relieving patients in, the early stages. Apart from the great boon to humanity of such a result, there are the monetary considerations involved in saving the large number of valuable cat tle annually slaughtered because affect ed with tuberculosis. . "As to the X rays, I have noticed some curious physical effects on myself. Exposure of my hand to them produced well defined sensations, which eventu ally became painful. '. Placing my head in the rays caused a violent headache, which lasted for three hours. These ars evidenoes, you see, .'of marked physical effects." New York Recorder. , Select Tour Death.

A Handsome Young; Woman Who Is Keep. ing Up the Family Record. v The manifest advantage .of a young Woman doctor of philosophy is that she does not abdicate ber right to be a prat ty girl. Such is Miss Elizabeth Hotoh kiss, the daughter of our consul at Otta wa, and who when at Washington was regarded as one of the handsomest worn en in that city. ? Miss Hotchkiss is a graduate of El mira college, and, in addition to her de gree of B. A., received from Cornell MISS ELIZABETH HOTCHKISS. university her Ph. D. She is now only 25 years old and is the youngest doctor of philosophy in the country. For some time Miss Hotchkiss was editor of The Metaphysical Magazine, published in St. Louis. This magazine is not as well known as the New York magazines, nor are its stories as vivacious and thrilling, but it is read by many learned men, and Miss Hotchkiss, who has now resigned the position, held an honorable place as its . editor and one to be filled by few men or women. ' . . . This young lady comes from a meta physical family. Her great-grandfather on her mother's side was a Scotch meta physician, and the Hotchkiss family in the past have been editors, lawyers and in professions which require some of the subtleties of speech. , Daughters of Presidents. Presidents' daughters are quite nu merously in evidence in' Washington just now. Among those in attendance at recent social functions in Washing ton Mrs. Sartoris, Mrs. Stanley Brown and Mrs. McKee, daughters respectively of .Presidents (irant, (iarneld and Ham son, have been conspicuous. To this list of , presidents' daughters in Washington the name of Mrs. Semple, daughter of President Tyler, should be added. : Mrs, Semple is and has been for a number of years an inmate of the Louise home, the ideal retreat for aged women which Washington owes to the generosity of W. W. Corcoran, who founded and named it in memory of his wife and daughter, 111 health and advancing age have long prevented Mrs. Semple from taking part in social festivities, but her mind is clear, her memory unimpaired, her in tellect vigorous, her knowledge of the history of the" country deep and compre hensive. It is not strange, therefore, that this representative of a period long gone by should not be the least interest ing of this quartet of women who at different times have lived in the White House. Washington Letter. Thankful For Daughters. Miss Harriet Keyser, the well known suffragist speaker of New York, says that the other day her German shoe maker remarked to her: "Do yon know I am very thankful that I have only one son ; that three of my children are daughters? I must be always paying my boy s debts, but my girls all work and bring their earnings to me to help along, I don't see what I would do if I had an other son to worry me. " '.,' As Miss Key ser justly observes, how different this speech is from the old notion that daugh ters were to be taken care of, and that a son was a blessing sought much more than the merely tolerated girll A Scotch Postwoman. Miss Catherine Horsley is a rural postwoman, whose beat is from Long niddry to Seton castle, in Sootland. She holds an established appointment, dated Feb. 1, 1884,. and has two good conduct stripes. The postmaster of Haddington, under whom she serves, informs St Martin's-le-Grand that she gets through all the duties required of her with care, and with the confidence of her chief. She performs two rural deliveries, to gether with apparatus and station serv ices. : 1 V She Prefers Madame. Mme. Calve is an admirer of the Amer ican woman. "To know her is to want to be as she is," is her flattering ver dict. Nevertheless she resents our un musical title of miss and prefers to be known as madame. She has had no time for marriage, so she asserts, but is no longer youthful enough to be known as mademoiselle. In Europe the more dig nified madame is conferred onnripening years, and Calve boldly declares she has won the right to its distinction. , No Gems Worn In Fran Gems seem to be worn less and less every year. With day toilets tney are scarcely seen at all, and the fact was authoritatively illustrated the other day at the marriage of the daughter of Count d'Hansonville, which brought together all that is related to royalty in France. Scarcely a jewel was to be seen in this elegant assemblage. The bride wore not a single gem. , Some Clever Old Maids. In literature the list of the unmarried is a long one. . Among the noted names are Nora Perry, Rose Elizabeth Cleve land, sister of the president ; Ouida, Jean Ingelow, Rosa Nouchette Cary, Anna Dickinson, Florence Nightingale, who has gained fame as a writer since she retired as a nurse; Grace Denio Litchfield, Edith Thomas and Susan Coolidge.

Wat son's reputation throughout the West for unerring judgment in the valuation of land has made him, foremost among the moBt conservative, careful class of investors in Chioago, . 1 Unlike many hard driven . business men, the owner of "Alpine Heights," that splendid suburb of Chioago, has not neglected his health on account of his exacting business.

Busy men and women are apt to think there is always time to get well.
