Oh bo merry while you may
Lenten days BDoed hither,
Dnnco and laugh tho hours awny
Kro tho roses wither
Neath tho nshes of tho morn
When In deep repentance lyltiff
You must ruo tho gladness worn
Down tho dnys swift Hying.
"Dear me," ejaculated a young wo
man this week, who has "entered with
nplrlt Into the fad of tho hour of send
ing missionary boxes nwny filled with
garments made by tho society lenders
and their friends. "Dear me, I feel
sorry for the missionary or the frontier
preacher who pets that box. If his
wife doesn't' make him repent that he
ever heard a call to the ministry, then
I'm much mistaken. When she sees
these queer looking things which her
children nro expected to wear she'll
probably sit down and cry. They al
most "make me weep now, and I
haven't got to wear 'em. Unless her
children nro constructed on a different
plan from humanity In general they
never In tho world can wear these
aprons. Who ever cut them out de
Hlgned them to be buttoned down the
back. We've made em the other way
round, nnd the sleeves turn upwards
Instead of down. One of the queer
sjiaped outing flannel things which
was Intended as a nightie for tho small
est girl we've made Into a jacket for
the oldest boy, nnd by mistake Helen
and Alice have sewed up tho piece of
cashmere designed for Mrs. Minister's
best gown, Into a lounging coat for
the minister himself. And now they
tell us that ho has no time to lounge
and wouldn't know what to do with
such an article of luxury. It's all lined
. with quilted satin, too. How hard It
Is to do charitable work.

25 YEARS WITH HERALD.
Mrs. E. S. Cromwell Has Utmost Faitli in
PAINE'S CELERY COMPOUND
Twenty-flve years Is a long time, es
pecially for a woman to work In the
galling harness of a metropolitan news
paper. Such Is the record of Mrs. Cromwell,
vice president of the Woman's nation
al press association, In tho service of
the Chicago Herald. As Washington
correspondent she telegraphed to her
paper the daily reports of the proceed
ings of tho fnmous electoral commis
sion of 1877.
A quarter of a century of racing work
like this h'as enabled Mrs. Cromwell to
know what "nerves" mean. Her faith
in Palne's celery compound to- restore
the nervous system when It Is run
down ard depressed by work, worry,
rush or sickness, cannot be lightly set
aside:
Washington, D. C, Feb. 10. 1S96.
1G02 Q. St.
Wells, Richardson Co.:
Gentlemen A youns lady residing In
my fumily, who had tried -various rem
edies for nervous debility and depleted
condition of the system, found great
and permanent relief from tho uj of
Palne's celery compound. I can there
fore recommend thU excellent remedy
to those In need of treatment of the
same kind. Ellen S. Cromwell.
Women have .their health much more
largely in their own hands than they
ar accustomed to "believe.
Tho impure blood that undermines
the stomach and tho nervous svstem
can be unquestionably enriched; tho
number of the red corpuseutes increas
ed, and the circulation cleansed of hu
mors by Palne's celery compound.
Sleeplessness that causes much of tho
neivous prostration among women is
entiiely wlth'i'n the control of every
person who will tako pains to correct
the bad habit the brain has fallen In
to. Prof. Edward E. Phelps, M. D., LL.
D., of the Dartmouth medical school,
in announcing his wonderful discovery
of Palne's celery compound at a meet
ing of the Dartmouth faculty, showed
how closely he had studied, In all their
bearings upon health, such disorders

THIS YEAR'S COUNTRY FAIR.
Arrangements lieguii by the lUnitlnnd
Driving l'nrk Association.
The officers of the Mnltland Driving
Park association, which has the dis
tinction of giving the only real agri
cultural fares In the Immediate vicin
ity of Scranton, met yesterday after
noon In this city. The meeting was
at tho office of tho vice president,
Georgo Stevenson, In tho Coal Ex
change, where questions of finance
were decided and arrangements be
gan for this year's trotting meeting,
and later the annual agricultural fair
ot the association at Wallsvilie, three
and one-half miles from Dalton.
The sale of $3,000 of treasury stock
wns authorized, the proceeds to be
used In improving tho grounds and
erecting now buildings. It was de
cided to hold a trotting meeting July
4 and the fair Sept. C, 7. 8 and 9. As
good time as 2.18 has been made on
the association's half-mile track, nn
Indication that It Is faster and better
than most country courses. That rec
ord was by Maud L, owned by Dr.
Porteus, of Taylor.
Early last month tho following asso
ciation officials were elected: George
W. Beemer, president; George Steven
son, vice president; W. C. Smith, sec
retary; Plerson Hallstead, treasurer;
M. W. Anthony, superintendent, and
8. J. Austin, James Lewis and Dr. B.

ESTIMATES COMMITTEE 'TO MEET.
Will Begin Work on the Appropria
tions Next Wcdncsdar Night.
Tho first meeting of the estimates
committee of councils to consider the
annual appropriation ordinance will be
held next Wednesday evening In the
select council chambers.
It is later than usual for the initial
consideration of the ordinance, hut
most ot the members believe the com
mittee's work can bo performed with
less confusion and more satisfactorily
if too much opportunity Is not given
for Interference. This Idea Is so gen
eral that scarcely more than one meet
ing per week will be held by tho com
mittee up to tho first Monday In April,
by which time the ordinance must be
finally passed by councils.

ns sleeplessness, blood Impurity and,
the nervous diseases that are likely to
follow such dally poisoning of tho sys
tem. Palno'a celery compound by Its pro
nounced nourishing power enables tho
nerves to get back their control over
the circulation so that the blood sup
ply, becomes greatest where It Is most
needed, as In the stomach after eating
and least whero Its presence enn only
do harm, as In the brain when sleep Is
needful.
The nerves, when they are strong
and properly nourished, limit tho flow
of blood o the head and draw off tho
excess from tho "brain, thus ensuring
refreshing sleep. Persons who wake
up tired, drowsy and ambltlonless, or
can not sleep a whole night through
ure suffering from disordered nerves.
Palne's oelery compound calms and
feeds the nerves even to their tiniest
branchings, and they In th'elr turn are
enabled to equalize the blood supply
over the body, thus sparing the heart,
prcviivting congestions and rushes ot
blood to tho head, dizziness, par.vlysli,
pain over the heart, and those head
aches that seem to como and go with
out any good reason, and arc so Inex
plicable to h'osts of men and women.
It thus Indirectly, but none tho less
surely, relieves tho dangerous press
ure on the kidneys and heart, which
eventually leads to their rapid deteri
oration and breakdown.
This great Invigorator is a long step
forward in the definite cure of nervous
diseases and disorders that are Induced
by nn insulllclently nourished system.
It Is possible to name, without hesita
tion, several discuses that have been
repeatedly traced to .such impoverish
ment of the blood nervous dyspepsia,
a "run-down" physlcaj condition, loss
of appetite, nervousness, heart trouble,
tired feelings and a despondent outlook
upon life. To rid the body of such
evidences of trouble within, It is neces
sary to stop the friction among tho
nervous tissues that Is pulling down
Its healthy tone. Tho remedy Is
Pclne's celery compound.
CATA.COMI1S UP TO DATE.
Tombs ofChriitinn illnrtyrn Now In
spected by Electric Light.
From tho Pall Mall Gazette.
The visitor to Italy complains of mod
ern steam tugs on the grand canal In
Venice, and the new-fangled Ideas of
cleanliness In the streets of Naples and
the new quarters in Rome, but tho
height of tho prosaic seems to havo
'leen reached with the Illumination of
the catacombs by electric light. No
more dim distances, In which one must
take care not to be lost, no more monk
guides holding lighted tapers, no more
darkness, mystery and Imagination.
This being the feast of St. Cecilia, the
catacombs of St. Callxtus, where the
Roman virgin was burled In 177 A. D.,
wero today for tho first tirne all glow
ing and glaring with thousands of elec
tric globes, and giving to tho whole
a mundane rather than n mystic air.
These catacombs are outside the
Porta San Sebastlano, on the magnifi
cent Applan way, that the Romans
called the Queen road, and near the
world-renowned tomb of Cecilia Me
tclla. St. Cecilia Is not the only promi
nent martyr of the early Christian era
whose name is connected with this
burial place, for tho remains lie thero
ot several popes of the third century,
as witness the original tombs of St.
Anthems, St. Fabian, St. Lucius, St.
Cornelius and St. Eutychlanus, who all
sat In the chair of St. Peter.
Thousands of Romans and foreign
ers have today visited this sacred spot.
Tho crowd itself formed a picturesque
view, as from below one looked up at
the pilgrims descending and ascending
the long steep flight ot stairs or at
tho long processions of cowled monks
and black-robed nuns, showing In vivid
contrast to groups of students of the
German College In their scarlet gowns,
a garb that causes them to be called
In fun the little cardinals. The corri
dors responded In echoes to their chants
at the different altars, while there was
a subdued hum from the less devout
sightseer. What would be unpercelved
by the visitor if ho were not preln
formed is that tho live miles of corri
dors and chapels are not on the same
level, but form thieo different floors,
one under the other. The most inter
esting spot Is whero St. 'Cecilia's tomb
was found, and whyu also stands a
copy of the statue of the saint, de
signed by Mademo, representing her
utter her martyrdom. Next stands a'
most Interesting marble tablet, tho In
scription on which was originally a
pagan ono dedicated to Marcus Au
rellus. The Christians utilized tho tab
let by turning it and writing on tho
back a new epitaph to Pope St, Da
muscus. Bones and skeletons of tho ancient'
martyrs nro found all along the whlls,
In three rows, one nbovo the other, Tho
lower room Is tho more disturbed, as
almost every one tries to take'some
thlng away us a sacred relic. But tho
electric light on these bones turns the
catacombs into a museum.
