It is often a run-down system. Weakness, uervousness, lack of appetite, energy and ambition, with disordered liver and kidneys often follow an attack of this . wretched disease. The greatest need then is Electric Bitters, the splendid tonic, blood purfler, and regulator of stomach, liver and kidneys. Thousands have proved that they wonderfully strengthen the nerves, build up the system aud restore to health and good spirits after an attack of grip. If suffering, try them. Only 50c.

The old law of compensation as interpreted by Carlyle, Emerson and other philosophers of both ancient ahd modern times seems to find Its verification in recent reports of the Census Bureau showing that the proportion of deaths from accidents In the Unit ed States is increasing. That is to say, all our new and wonderful de vices and agencies insuringhigher speed in traveling, more ease and convenience in the operation of al most every branch of productive industry, more comforts aud lux uries in homes and households, all these have an offset in some degree in the increased risks we run at every turn and the real per ils we eucounter while we indulge ourselves in these new and im proved ways of life. , According to this census report the propor tion of deaths from accidental causes in 1900 was 57.6 in a total of 1000 deaths from all causes. In 1890 the proportion was only 03.7. Somecuriousfactsbrought out by this same report are that the death rate due to accidents and injures is highest among per sons 45 years of age and over; that the average age of death from accidents is about 33 years, and that the warmer months show a ; larger proportion of fatal acci- dents than the cooler , ones. In March the country is a more dau , gcirous place to live in , than the city, and hi May and June the re- verse is true. It also appears that a person is twice as likely to die from accideut as from old age and that accidents happen more frequently and kill more persons in the Rocky . Mountain regions and on he Pacific Coast than in the Atlantic States. v.Oj the whole, it appears that nearly 6 per cent, of all deathain the United ehksb are uua to accidental Injur- ios. une, obvious moral to bo drawn from all. this would (teem to bathe jooreaslrig need of exer ctaiug caution among the com plexites of modern life.

The Hamilton is over 600 miles long, aud is nav igable by boats for half that dis tance uutil stopped by tho fam ous G raud Falls, a natural wonder exceeding Niagara. Tho river in its iulaud reaches and draius six lakes varying in size frou250to 550 square miles in extent, surges seaward through a gorge 310 feet wide and enclosed between walls af rock 1200 feet high. Tho river drops 700 feet in three miles, and the torrent that pours over the falls is stupendous in its size and force, 50,000 gallons of water des cendiug every secoud. Tho roar of the rushing river can bo heard twenty miles away, and the few travelers who have penetrated to it declare that the world holds uo other such spectacle. In a second river, tho Manicouagan, which em ties into the St. Lawrence Gulf canoes can voyage up its whole length of 400 miles, and by mak ing a single portage of th ree miles can reach the Koksaic river, by means of which the traveler cau continue his journey right into the Hudson Bay without debark fug any more, the entire fresh water trip, with but one portage, being about 730 miles as tho crow Hies. There are Hudson Bay Com pany's posted on tho main river, where the Indians and Mivyeres" barter their peltries for food, clothing and ammunition. POSSIBILITIES OF ENGLISH. M. le Comte Robert de Montes-quiou-Fezensac here to lecture on French literaturf, met with a sur prise the other day at a recep tion. He was talking to a dainty little lady, who spoke very good French. She was telling of the vast possibilities in the English language, and, neglectful of the fact that he imperfectly under s tail lis the language, she gave him the following: "A flock of girls is called a bevy, a bevy of wolves is called a pack, a pack of thieves is called a gang, a gang of angels is called a host, a host of fish is called a shoal, a shoal of cattle is called a herd, a herd of children is called a troop, a troop of partridges is called a covey, a covey of beauties is called a galaxy, a galaxy of ruf fians is called a horde, a horde of coal is called a heap, a heap of ox en is called a drove, a drove of blackguards is called a mob, a mob of whales is called a school, a school of worshipers is called a congregation, a congregation of engineers is called a corps, a corps of robbers is called a band, a band of locusts is called a swarm, and a swarm of people is called a crowd." M. le Comte asked the fair one to please write it out for him, as he wished to use a lexicon for purposes of translation. He tried it later and gave up in despair. New York Times.
