Nerve Influence Is the subtle force which controls the different organs of the body. It makes them strong or weak, healthy or diseased, according as the brain and nerves are strong and vigorous or weak and diseased. Weak nerves cause headache, nervousness, neuralgia, indigestion, heart trouble and many other forms of chronic weakness. Make the nerves strong, the brain clear and adtive and the body will be healthy and vigorous. "When I first began the use of Pr. Miles' Nervine I was suffering greatly with nervousness and a dizziness in my head. I was so weak that I could not be out in the sun during the heat of the day at all, my kidneys were badly troubled and I had a breaking out all over my body. In a few weeks the nervous troubles were all gone, then the kidney trouble was cured and Anally the eruptions all disappeared." JOSIAH E. HAMEU, Tatum, S. C. D*. Miles' Nervine Boothes and rests the tired brain, strengthens the nerves and supplies the nerve influence that is so necessary to build up health of body and vigor of mind. Try it. * DR. MILES MEDICAL CO., Elkhart, Ind. ORCHARD AND GARDEN. Salt sprinkled under the quince trees Is beneficial. Rosin and tallow in equal parts make a good covering for wounds on trees. While winter is a good time to prune the grapevines, it should not be done .when the vines are frozen. Currant bushes will hear fruit for 25 years and not lose their vigor, pro vided they are properly cared for. During the winter especially flower lug plants should never be watered with cold water. It will tend to chill the plants. j. Fruit trees cannot thrive in all kinds of exhausted soil. The trees may make a growth of leaves and wood on poor land, but they require mineral manure to perfect the fruit. [ A good dressing of manure around each raspberry plant at this season will cause the canes to grow more rapidly in the spring. The richer the soil the larger and better the quality of the berries. f A liberal top dressing of wood ashes on an orchard that is beginning to fail .will often give satisfactory results. The use of stable manure is also highly recommended as a stimulant for old trees.—St. Louis Republic. * APHORISMS. The noblest motive Is the public good. —Virgil.

THE GLASS OF FASHION. Pink in all tlie prettiest shades, from the palest to a deep rose tint, is a popu lar color for evening gowns. Blouses of white silk mull, with the line tucks stitched in with gold thread, are worn with the coat and skirt tailor gowns. Violets are still the most popular flowers worn. They are tied with gold ribbon, the ends finished with violet silk tassels. A black broadcloth gown trimmed with ermine or frogs of black and white braid Is one of the strikingly novel costumes. White broadcloth is one of the popu lar materials for bridesmaids' gowns, which are made with a vest of yellow silk embroidered with gold. Colored veils dotted with chenille in a vermicelli pattern are one of the win ter's fancies, and brown to match the hair, worn with a brown gown, is es pecially chic. Louis XV jackets cut out in turret shape all around the waist, the squares falling below the belt in basque effect, are one of the latest modes. This sort of coat has an embroidered waistcoat. ! Medallions of velvet embroidered In gold and variously distributed on a cos tume are one of the favored modes of decoration.

One of the features of the Pan-Amer ican exhibition, to be held in Buffalo next summer, will be a carnival of sports, embracing all forms of athletic competitions. For this purpose an im mense arena lias been erected. It cov ers nearly ten acres of ground and has a seating capacity of 12,000. The com mittee in charge of the contests is ar ranging an elaborate programme. The nature of the sports will be varied. Amateur athletics will be strongly encouraged, and college sports will be made a special feature. Pro j fessionnl events will lie appropriately featured, and tlie foremost representa tives will participate. The character of the prizes that will lie offered has not yet been definitely determined upon, but assurance is given that they will be of value as souvenirs of suc cess at the expositioh. The national game of baseball, which is quite as popular in Canada as in the United States, will receive the consld i eration due it. There will be profes sional and amateur college games be tween representative teuius of North America. The Marathon race, which was the principal attraction at the Olympian games four years ago and again in 1900 at the Paris exposition, is planned, the start and finish to be in the stadium. The game of lacrosse, which is ex j tremely popular in Canada and becom ing so in the United States aud else where, will be played by the strongest teams. The celebrated Caledonian games will be seen, and the popular German diversion of turning will be a feature. In the lull there will be exciting foot ball matches, participated in by the best college teams. There will be cross country runs, with finishes in the stadium; cycling, basket ball, roque, shooting, gymnas tics, military maneuvers, cricket, bowl ing aud other sports. Two days will be devoted to world's championships. "New Blows" In Fuulllsm. The talk of "new blows" in pugilism i will not cease. The latest is a "scissors j punch" to be used by Ruhlin on Jef fries. McCoy's "corkscrew punch" was so thoroughly exploited that many per sons really believed that there was such a blow. Frequently fighters in training say that they have invented new blows, and they go into details about them too. But Fitzsimmons ex j ploded the whole business last summer i when he said that inventing new blows i was all bosh. "When you are in a fight," said Fitz, ' "you have got to punch a fellow good ; and hard. If he hits you a crack on ; the jaw, you have no time to think ! about fancy movements or tricks, but you have got to sail right in and fight the best you know how. If you see an i opening for a solid smash, either in the body or on the head, let your hands go i in for all you are worth. That's the i way I believe in doing business, and I have found it very effective." New Gym For Princeton. j At n recent meeting of the committee i in charge of securing funds for the erection of n new gymnasium at Princeton ways and means of obtain | ing the required amount, $200,000, were j discussed, and the announcement of J several handsome sums of money was j made. Professor William Libbey, sec , retary of the committee, said he was i {cry confident tho entire $200,000, and possibly $250,000, for the new structure ' will be at the disposal of the commit tee within the next two years. He also remarked that it would be one of the finest gymnasiums in the eastern states. As soon as the subscriptions will warrant it work on the building will be begun. It will be erected on the south campus and will adjoin the ! Brokaw building. The plans are now i In the bauds of the committee. fIHEFIY GODMOTHER! I i By Hattie E. Brings. —i i- .—• J "Harry Walling, I don't believe one word you saj- about fairy godmothers," j cried Vira Stephenson excitedly. "It is just one of his wicked stories to frighten us and make us unhappy, isn't it, Jes sie 1" And Vira only stopped speaking from lack of breath and the immediate presence of tears. "I'm afraid so," sobbed Jessie, who never could endure either Harry's teas ing or Vira's censure of him without cry ing. "Well, of course, it is nothing particu lar to me," replied the boy. "Every body has a fairy godmother, and she sees to it that somebody is appointed to look after us, take care of us when we are in trouble, and give us advice whenever we need it. Some have one kind of a friend, and some another. Mine happens to be a man, an Indian chief, npmed Newargo. He told me that Vira's godmother is an Indian woman—a celebrated squaw of the Chippewa tribe. I also happen to know that she will be in High Banks this nfternoon. At 2 o'clock she will be at the big elm back of the playhousei Would you like to see her?" "Yes; tell her I'll come," called Vira, as Harry agaiu started away with Bil i vcr's harness, "but Harry," she added I severely, "don't you stay around. I don't ! want you to hear what she says." j "Don't you worry," was the gruff re ply, "I'm not dying to hear any of your secrets." 1 At 2 o'clock Jessie and Vira left their homes, casting furtive glances about to make sure that Harry wuh not watch ing them. After waiting in the play house what seemed an interminable length of time, Vira's heart almost stop ped beating, to see coming to her, slowly skirting the kitchen garden, a tall figure clothed in the garb of an Indian woman. Iler bright blunket glittered in the sun light, and as she neared the appointed meeting place the girls saw that her face was of a dusky hue. Large bends hung ! about her neck, and her short liair was oiled so smoothly as to bring out every line of the bright penciling which adorned her features. Vira went carefully forward, fairly faint with awe and surprise; for in all her life she had never before seen a squaw, and that this one should be her god mother! "You Vira?" queried the squaw, taking a swift step forward and grasping the little girl's hand. "Yes," was the child's almost inaudible reply. "I am your godmother," the squaw went on, in remarkably good English. "New argo is Harry's fairy—l am yours. Yon," seating herself on the ground and looking fixedly at Vira, "are a good girl, but not pretty. Too dark to be pretty," she mut tered. "Most brown enough to be my child." A flush came to Vira's chock, for her dark little face had always been a sensi tive point with her. She mentally decid ed that Indian godmothers were not an unmixed blessing after all, if they would discuss facts so freely. "You have many faults, Vira," the woman continued, looking at her narrow ly, "which I hope you will correct before 1 visit you again. You don't like to get up in the morning, and you are never ready to go to bed at night. You read too much when you should be at your music. And," she went on, "both you and Jessie are too selfish about things where Harry is concerned. He i£ a good boy, but it was only last night that you and his sis ter fairly quarreled with him because he ate your pieces of cake. A growing boy needs a great deal of cake." Jessie and Vira looked at each other in astonishment. How did the Indian wo man know so well what had happened? "And now, my child," she said, "before I leave you, is there anything you want to ask me?" "Tell me," the little girl stammered, "how—er—long have you been my god mother?" "Always, Vira, always," was the reply. "You were given to me because of your dark skin, and it has often been a ques tion with us whether or not we better take you to live with us. \ybuld you like to live with me?" she asked, looking eagerly into Vira's face. "Oh, no!" gasped the girl, clutching Jessie's hand. "Well," continued the squaw, "unless you and your little playmate become less selfish you will be separated, and now, till I see you again, remember those things: Rise more cheerfully mornings, pay more attention to your arithmetic, don't cry when your hair is combed, and"— "Why, Marry Walling!" screamed the girls in unison, as a sudden gust of wind blow tlie gay blanket apart and revealed the well known garmeuts of their play mate. "Oh, you mean, horrid tiling!" wailed Jessie, while Virn flew at him in a sud den fury and stripped the blanket and trappings from him till nothing remained but the brilliant penciling which gave his face the appearance of being the most vicious Indian woman the Chippewas ever saw. i "Well, you need not kill a fellow," cried Ilnrry, "because he has told you a few truths," as Vira's blows descended on his 1 head. i "I'll never speak to you again, Harry Walling!" screamed his assailant. "Nor I," echoed Jessie. I "Yes, you both will," answered the boy, grabbing the blanket and running toward the house, "the very first time you want a drive after Silver."—Detroit i Free Press.
