The Spring! or Florida,'
A short distance down the penin
sula and below Jasper is Suwanee
Bpring. It forms one of the principal
foeders of the river, and is a well
known favorite winter resort. It is
Borne distance from the railroad sta
tion, and tourists are taken thither in
an ancient "kinky" street car, and
their baggage on a flat open car linked
behind.
Suwanee Spring, like many of the
other large bodies of so-called springs
in Florida, is nothing more or less
than the coming to the surface of a
considerable sized underground river,
and. like mauy of these springs, that
at Suwanee is supposed to possess
valuable medioinal qualities, particu
larly for diseases which affect the kid
neys and bladder.
The large springs of Florida are
among its greatest curiosities, and
many of them are wonderful for their
beauty and varied features. Almost
invariably they are clear as crystal and
very deep, some as much as eighty
feet. Many, like Suwanee and Green
Cove springs, are heavily charged with
sulphur, and others, like those at
Ilomasassa, with sulphur, iron and
magnesia. The waters are almost in
variably warm.
Besides the Suwanee Spring there
are others in the near vicinity, one a
few miles below, called High Springs,
and still a third close beside the rail
road tracks at Juliette. This one is
quite large and of such remarkable
limpidness that from the railroad
tracks, more than a hundred feet away,
fish may be plainly seen swimming
about in its depths. Florida Letter

Never Too Sure.
Against the probability or possibility ot
mischance or accident we can never be too
sure. But it we should stop to consider
how great is the chance of sudden death,
we would be made too timid and unhappy.
Caution is needed not to be foolhardy, and
precaution to know what is best to do when
an accidont happens. One day this winter
two men were walking and one said:
"We're too timid in treading on slippery
places. I trend firmly and never think
abojrt them, and so escape a fall." "Never
be too sure," said the other; "It Is that that
throws you off and makes the fall the
harder." Just then they came upon a
place covered with thin snow, where kids
h 1 been sliding. The first speaker slipped
and came down with his foot turned and
badly sprained his aukle. He was a cripple
on crutches until a short time ago, having
used many things without benefit. Up to

, CONSULTING A WOMAN.
Mrs. Pinichama Advice inspires
Confidence and Hope.
Examination by i. male physician is
a hard trial to a delicately organized
woman.
She puts it off as long as she dare,
and is only driven to it by fear of can
cer, polypus, or some dreadful ill.
Most frequently such a woman leaves
a physician s office
where she has un
dergone a critical
examination with
an impression, more
or less, of discour
agement.
This condi
tion of the
mind destroys
the effect of
advice; and
she grews
worse rather
than better. In consulting Mrs. Pink
ham no hesitation need be felt, the
story is told to a woman and is wholly
confidential. Mrs. Pinkham's address
is Lynn, Mass., she offers sick women
her advice without charge.
Her intimate knowledge of women's
troubles makes ber letter of advice a
wellspring of hope, and her w ide experi
ence and skill point the way to health.

Am Overworked Brmln.
From the Record, Pierceto, lad.
Determined to rise In his chosen pro
fession as an educator, Ernest Kemper, ot
rierceton, Ind., overtaxed himself men
tally and physically. He was ambitious,
his mind was always on bis work. From
early morn until late at night he contin
ually pored over his books.
Few persons, even with the strongest
constitutions, can keep up under such a
strain.
In addition to bis studies, Mr. Kemper
was teaching a sohool some three miles
from bis home. Finally, his excessive study
and the exposure of going to and from
school in all kinds of weather undermined
bis health.
Ho was taken to his bed with pneumonia
and his overworked braiu almost collapsed.
For several weeks he was seriously ill.
Catarrh had taken root in his system and
his mind was lu a delicate condition. He
was sent to Coloradowbere n
spent three months without
reeeivi ng
any benotlt.
Then a not
ed specialist
from Cleve
land treated
him without avail,
and then a hospi
tal in Chicago was
tried, but all abso
lutely without
benefit. Finally
his physician re
commended Dr.
Williams' Pink
rills for Tale Teo-
Orersti ml;.
nle. nnd from the first box he began to Im
prove. When he had taken nine boxes he
was completely cured. This famous blood
and nerve medicine had accomplished what
all his forme expensive treatment failed
to accomplish. Mr. Kemper says his ca
tarrh has entirely left him; he Is strong
again and weighs nine pounds more than
he ever did. He gives tho pills the entire
credit. He is starting teaching again and
feels abundantly able to continue the
work. To prove that the above is true in
every respect, Mr. Kemper made an affi
davit as follows:

Hlitorj of the National Capitol.
The cornerstone of the original Cap
itol building, at Washington, was laid
September 18, 1793, by President
Washington, with Masonic ceremonies.
The north wing was finished in 1800
nnd the south wing in 1811. A wooden
passageway connected them. August
24, 1814, the interior of both wings
was destroyed by fire, set by the
British. In 1818 the central portion
of the building was commenced and
was finally completed in 1827. The
cost of the Capitol np to 1827, includ
ing the grading of grounds, altera
tions, etc., was $2,433,844.13. The
cornerstone of the extensions was laid
on the Fourth of July, 1851, by Presi
dent Fillmore, Daniel Webster officiat
ing ns orator. 1 his work was com
pleted in 1805. These extensions were
hrst occupied for legislative purposes
January 4, 1839. The old dome was
torn down and work commenced on
the new one in 1855. The present
structure, which is of cast iron, was
completed in 18(55. The entire weight
of iron used is 8.909.200 pounds. The
statue whioh crowns the dome was put
in position December 2, 1864. It is
of bronze, and its correct designation
of Freedom. The height of the statue
is nineteen feet six inohes, and it
weighs 14,985 pounds. There is now
a bill before Congress to cover it with
gold leaf. William E. Curtis.
Health Is Capital.
Health is capital as truly as money
is, and the man who so regards it will
be as careful in its expenditure, as
cautious in its investment, as prudent
in husbanding its resources, as the
financier is in the management of the
principal from which he derives his
income. Many persons have no other
capital than health; the strength they
use in their daily business may secure
a comfortable living so long as it re
mains unimpaired, but once let the
health springs be exhausted by care
lessness, improvidence or too lavish
expenditure, there is but one way to
replenish them right living and rest.
Wealth accumulates by saving, and
just in the same way health comes
from saving strength, not wasting it
upon trifles, not exhausting it in too
severe and prolonged efforts; by re
cuperating in rest and sleep, by taking
such exercise and food that will in
vigorate instead of depleting the
physical powers. It is never wise to
work to the extreme limit of one's
ability. When weary, rest; when ex
hausted sleep. The whole man will
be recreated by it. It is by spending
less than his income by turning hon
est pennies over and over, reinvesting
as they accumulate, that a person
builds np his fortane. The Ledger.
Can't Tell Their Hatbands Apart.
"Jim Hisey, aged forty-eight, is a
prosperous grain dealer in Yale. He
has a wife, two sons and a daughter.
Will Hisey, aged forty-eight, his
brother, lives at Sparta. He is also
married. The two men are twins, and
all through life have been the living
duplicates of each other. So near
alike are they that even their wives
cannot tell them apart. They dress
alike, their voices are alike and their
hair and mustaches have the same
color and curls. Y.'bcn boy3 they hud
to be tagged so that their parents and
teachers would know the difference.
When Jim gets a crick in the back
Will is liable to have the same com
plaint, and when Will gets therheuma
tisin Jim also gets it precisely in the
same place. They were formerly both
engaged in the milling business and
served an apprenticeship under the
same man. They were born in west

one way in which s le can tell her hus

Treating.
One hnbit that with profit to himself can
bo left off by the resolute young man, says
tho Catholic Universe, is tho pernicious and
distinctively American custom of "treat
lug," which prevails among all classes in
this country. This hnbit bits nothing what
ever to recommend it. Sometimes It Is
foolishly regardod by those addicted to It
as a manifestation ot generosity and good
fellowship. It Is Invariably the offspring
of shallow and thoughtless egotism. It Is
a sourco ot a great deal ot dissoluteness
that exists In all grades ot society, and its
consequences Is tho awful train of misery
aud sorrow that follows in tho train ot In
temperance. Many, if not nil, hopeless human wrecks
from excessive use of intoxicauts can trace
their destruction to this vicious custom of
treating at the bar. It is especially dan
gerous to young men who lack the requisite
lirmuessot will to resist its fatal influence.
It is not only au expensive habit, but silly
besides. Think for n moment. A young
man is induced to join one or two, or n half
dozen others In a "soclnl glass" of liquor,
for which, perhaps he has really an abhor
rence. Rut ho accepts, nnd the effect of
custom Is that ho takes not only one drink
ot spirits which he does not relish, but two,
or a halt a dozen, as the oase may be. He
puts this fiery fluid Into his stomach, not
because he needs or craves It, but simply In
obedience to a senseless tradition of per
verted politeness. Thisdescriptionot glut
tony, if we may call It such. Is Infinitely
worse than other kinds, bocause there Is no
plausible excuse for It, or mitigation of its
downright badness. What would bethought
ot an individual, who, having accepted a
friend's invitation to dine, should insist,
after partaking of the meal of his host, on
immediately duplicating the performance
in deference to a distorted custom of socia
bility? Yet there is just as much reason
why a person should gorge himself with
two or three consecutive dinners, as for his
Indulgence in successive libations, that,
Instead of benefiting him in any way, in
jure Dim both physically and morally. The
treating habit is a curse to American man
ners, and an outlandish notion of socia
bility and good fellowship, which every
sober-minded young man in possession ol
his mental faculties should assiduously
avoid. Makeup your mind now, before ths
evil habit has grown upon you, that in yout
case, at least, the custom will become more
honored in the breach than the observance.
Even If you do not intend to practice total
' abstinence from spirituous liquors, turn
your face resolutely away from this fruit
ful agency of demoralization.

" '.Tames, why do you do this way?'
" 'Wlzzer way?' he replied.
"'Oettin' drunk.'
" 'Who's drunk?'
'"You are. an' you promised me when

Ought Never to Ite Condoned.
The families of drunkards can never
condone drunkenness nor get used to it;
nud it is from tlietr standpoint that Chris
tians must view the vico. The palliation ot
this crime Is too common; we are sick of
hearing these drunkards spoken of as hav
ing a "weakness" for drluk "it is the poor
fellow's only fuult;" "he is just n little too
ccnvivlul." The dire reality is that the
vice of drunkenness, gross sin as it is
ngnlnst one's Bulf, is a foul crime against
one's family, and the pluiner the words
used to cbaracterize It tbe better. It al
ways hangs like a lowering cloud over the
wretch's home, and his family cannot rid
themselves ot the misery that it always
brings, nor of the dread of the terrible ca
lamities which are too often Its further re
sults.
' Drluk and Crime.
The latest evidenco of the relation of
drink and crime is afforded by Justice
ltidley, who, charging the Grand Jury
at tho Liverpool Assizes, said the cal
ender conaitned tho names of 131 pris
oners, til longest that bal been placed be
fore a Grand Jury iu that city for some
lime. He remarked upon the large propor
tion ot cases of wounding nnd other crimes
ot violence, aud said that in nearly all
these Instances drink was tbe causo of the
crime. Again, nt the Munster Winter As
sizes, Judge O'Brien commented on the
number of outrages in County Clare, and
remarked there had been a large increase
of intoxicntion, which indicated there was
no want of means in the community.

It. There has been much less intemper
ance during the cycling years than at any

a pitiful condition. He suffered terribly
at night and complained continually ot
his head, and in what little sleep be was

all control of the muscles of his body and
limbs. Ho had no appetite aud complained
ot feeling slok at his stomach all the time.
After we had tried many different reme

An Exposition Novelty.
An interesting novelty at the Paris
Exposition will be the Mareorama,
which will give visitors the illusion of
a voyage by steamer from Marseilles
to Constantinople, with calls at Tan
gier, Algiers, Naples, Venice, Alexan
dria and Symrna. They will be stand
ing on the steamer, whioh will appear
to be in the sea, even to the rolling of
the vessel and tho salt breezes. The
nnrolling of tho canvases will make
thorn think the ship is moving, the
principle being the same as that which
makes railway passengers in a stand
ing train think they are in motion
when another train passes. The voy
age of the steamer will be diversified
by various scenes, such as meeting a
fleet of war vessels, a tempest, with
thunder and lightning, a sunrise, etc.,
besides other curious incidents. Thus,
at Naples, for instance, natives will
climb on board and perform the dances
of the country.
