Nerves Meed To feed the vital fires or they lose the power to regulate and control the body. Unnatural stimulants won't do. Like an air blast on dying embers they cause a sudden flash of heat—then all is dead. Give the nerves plenty of fuel, and the worry and fretting, the headaches, the nervousness, loss of sleep, deranged digestion, neuralgia, rheumatism and heart troubles, that burn up the brain substance and destroy the nerve-force, will disappear forever. Don't wait till the fires are burned out. Begin now. "I was so nervous and restless that I could get little sleep, and the headaches were something dreadful. Pains would start In the temples and travel down the chords at the back of my neck to chest and arms. Doc tors gave no relief, but Dr. Miles' Nervine cured me." Mas. A. H. WIKMAN, German Valley, Ills. D*. Miles' Nervine creates a good appetite, stimulates digestion, quiets nerv ous irritation, gives refreshing sleep and sends plenty of fresh blood to the furnaces of the brain and nerves.

Mrs. Stephens is young and ambitious, and It is said her tact and graeiousnes.s have done much to assist the political fortunes of her husband. Their home, Ivy Terrace, at Jefferson City, Mo., is one of the most beautiful and hospita ble in the town, and their indorsement and support have been given to many of the charitable projects of Jefferson City. Ellen Terry's Scwlur Guild. In connection with the Theatrical Women's guild of London is the Needle and Thimble guild, which was founded nearly three years ago by Miss Marga ret Alston. Miss Ellen Terry is the president, and the membership exceeds 300. The guild's work consists chiefly in collecting new garments, clothing of every description and money to be dis tributed among the theatrical poor. Every year two badges are given, one for obtaining the most new members, the other for sending the most gar ments during the year. In 1809 Miss Terry offered a gold thimble as a prize for the sender of the most garments made by herself. This thimble was won by Mrs. Arthur Mor rison. who contributed 113 garments, 44 of which she made herself. The vice presidents of the guild are Mrs. Nevill lunulas, Mrs. Arthur Morrison, Miss Lucy Hare, Miss Lindsay Jardine, Miss Bayly-Jones, Miss Low, Miss Maelagan, Miss E. Shaw Stewart and Miss Lola Duncan. Velvet Bracelet* nnd Rami*. Fifty years ago the belles of Paris used to wear coquet tishly a black vel vet bracelet, ami no one who did not possess one could be considered fash ionable. The ultra fashionables of to day have revived the style. The up to date bracelet, however, is a more styl ish affair than its predecessor, having loops and ends edged with diamonds or pearl ferrets hanging from the left wrist, while a bizarre ornament clasps the band itself close around the arm. Nothing shows off a white hand better than black velvet, and the same may be said of the black velvet neckband, which is also in favor, studded with Jeweled ornaments or art nouveau flow ers. Frenchwomen rarely appear deco lette without some form of a band round the throat, usually tucked tulle or velvet the same shade as the dress. Cup* For Maid*. In all the best houses, as every one knows, the maids are expected to wear the conventional uniform—light cam bric gowns in the morning and black after 13 o'clock, with white caps and aprons—but there is a difference In the arrangement for these. The caps and aprons are always furnished to the maids, but there are varieties of opin ions among mistresses as to whether the gowns should be provided. In some of the richest houses this is not done, though the mistress always states her wishes in engaging her maids and requests them to wear light j gowns, and frequently she lias a prefer- ! ence for blue and pink. This, with the white aprons, adds a picturesque fea ture to the house. In some houses the materials for both the cambric and black gowns are furnished. Five Hundred Dollar* For a Wom an's Life. Judge Huydeu of Akron, 0., in sus taining a verdict of SSOO against a rail way company for a woman's life in spite of the fact that SIO,OOO was awarded for a man's life lost in the same wreck, says that the life of a wo man under ordinary circumstances can not be as valuable as the life of a man. that the man in question was ablebod led and earning good wages for a young wife and that the woman was growing old and could not ho of great use. Advocates of equal rights for men and women will bo likely to criticise this decision. Boston Globe. If people only knew what wo know about.

Some of Thorn Have Had Year* of Training- In Drawing and Color Work, and Some Have Studied In FnmouM Old World Atelier*. Although the vivid advertisements of the excellences of foods, ointments, clothing, all mechanical appliances known to man and a thousand other ! things never dreamed of in the philoso- | phy of a hundred years ago are contin- j ually catching the eye and possibly j shocking the artistic sensibilities of the I beholder, few of the ordinary observers give a moment's question to the mak- j ers of advertisements. The advertis ing eraze lias grown of late to such huge and unlovely proportions that any brief account fails to explain its work ings. The office of a large advertising concern is one of the busiest places in town. Artists are constantly appear ing with designs for the firm, a small army of men with paint pots and brush es are hovering about, waiting to he sent out. and everywhere are gay evi dences of the results of all this labor. "Who are the men that paint these 'heroic' pictures one sees on unused walls and lofty fencesV" asked a re porter of one of the men who keeps these subordinates busy. "They are not the people you think them. I fancy," was the answer. "In stead of being daubers, with about the ability necessary to wield a whitewash brush, our best men are real artists. By this I mean that many of them have had years of training in drawing and color work. Several of them have studied abroad in the ateliers of well known men. A man whom I saw paint ing a head on a wall yesterday is a night instructor in a Brooklyn art j school. Recently one of our men paint ed on a large wall the biggest portrait ever attempted. He had studied five years in the Paris art schools." "Why do they take lip this work?" "The other doesn't pay. It's a ease of 'commercialism in art.' They find that they can't make the real thiug pay, so they come to this common calling. There's money in It. Why. our star painters get SSO a week. The daubers, who put in backgrounds, don't earn more than $lO or sls a week." The men who paint the designs In various inaccessible and conspicuous places have with them small copies of the designs to be reproduced. Long experience makes them expert in ac curately tracing the design upon the chosen surface. Although the familiar advertisements scattered over the city seem exactly alike nnd one face seems the exact counterpart of another, yet closer inspection will show various points of difference. In the case of a very .familiar picture which is display ed from one end of the United Slate, to the other, when it was tirst brought out one man was hired for the sole purpose of painting that one design, and to do this he traveled from Maine to California. "Not the least of our difficulties," said the advertising man, "is iinding places to put our signs. We hire men who do nothing else but go about and obtain permission from owners to pii• up billboards on their premises, use a vacant wall or decorate a fence or a roof. It needs great tact to do this, j When there are objections, they must j be overcome, and after this is dom the owner often gets the Idea that his , available space is worth thousands of dollars to us aud to him. The expe riences of advertising men among farmers aud tramps would make n mighty interesting book." "Why do you say tramps?" "Oh, the tramps are our worst ene mies. They build fires behind our billboards and burn them or else teni them down out of sheer wantonness." When asked about the price a blank brick wall in a conspicuous part oD New York would bring to its owner it lie let it for advertising purposes, tin advertising man laughed and said lie could not tell that, but he did not mind saying that he was now paying sG.ooi< a year rent for a wall in the middle of the shopping district. "This is not an unusual sum to pay," he added, "for such prominent positions." Advertising firms are liberal sub scribers to all art magazines, particu larly to those French art periodicals which display the newest drawings of the still popular poster. The ideas of the foreign artists are taken freely and converted into gaudy designs for aij vertising the latest song or a new cigai without the least compensation, since, as the advertisers assert, American ideas are assimilated abroad just as unceremoniously. Not all the large reproductions of fig ures and faces on our streets ami along the roof tops are handwork. Many of them are machine made. By a process akin to that of making lithographs ma chines have been invented to hfy the colors automatically. The finished product, quite devoid of personality. I presents accurately a copy of the work ing design.- New York I'ost. Meitmirina- Yonr Man.
