The spasm at top of wind-pipe, or in bronchial tubes, the " ball rising in the throat, " violent beating of the heart; laughing and crying by turns ; mus? cular spasms; throw ing the arms about, etc, tell of a derangement of the female sys tem. Any female complaint may produce hys terics, which must be re garded as a Bymptom only. The cause, what ever it may be yields ' quickly to Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound. It acts at once apon the organ affected, and the nerve centers; re moves the cause, and dispels effectually the symptoms. Mrs. Barris relates her experience for the benefit of others. "I had been sick with ulceration of the womb, causing all kinds of dis agreeable experiences, such as irrita bility, sleeplessness, faintness, and at times hysterics. My physician said it was the worst case he eyer had. My back ached, leucorrhcea very profuse, and I had a severe bearing-down pain. The physicians thought I should never recover, and as the laat remedy, they procured your Vegetable Compound. I had not taken more than one-fourth of a bottle, before I was more com fortable. I continued its use, also the Sanative Wash, and Liver Pills. After using four bottles, I was able to be out, and do almost all my work. I think the Vegetable Compound is the only medicine that will cure female complaints, and it will reach the worst cases in a very short time. I know it saved my life.''-MRS.

Ano\| with the utterance of those words the brown oyos seemed to laugh at their own reflection in the mir ror, and as the pret tily-curved lips parted they showed the perfect teeth. "Do 1 look it, John? Do 1? For I am intensely anxious aa to the effect which I shall produce on your friends and neigh bors." ? Tho gray-haired handsome husband shook his head with a smile. "Hardly, I am afraid Rose. Aoasu al observer would bo more likely to think you were a young Indy spend ing the holidays with her grandfather. Fortunately, however, the residents in these parts know who you are. I ex pect they will muster pret;y strong at church this morning to get a good stare at you. " Rose Clithcroe took her husband's arm as they passed through the gate way of tha Priory. Tho Colonel had inherited the property from an uncle, not long before his marriage. "It looks more matrorjly to] take your arm. John," sho said, laughing. But then her mood changed, and she looked grave, adding : "I do really leel nervous. I don't want th oso people who have known you all your life to say I am tooyourjg and too giddy, and too altogether un worthy to be your wife 1 ' Do you think they will be prejudiced against me by my appearance? I choso a bonnet and this long sealskin coat be cause they make me older than a hat and jacket." "Don't be anxious, child." and the Colonel pressed the hand which rested on his arm. "Unless people are hope lessly stupid and short-sighted they must see at a glance that you are the most oharming of young women and I am the most fortunate of nen, and blessed altogether beyond my deserts. But whatever they think, and what ever they say, tho faot remains that we are entirely satisfied with each other." "1 am more than satisfied," and Rose spoke emphatically.- "I often wonder why such happiness should come to me whee so many women are miserably married." It was rather a rom ant io little story, as things gc in theso prosaio times, that story of how Rose Dysart became Mrs. Colonel Clitheroe when she was eighteen and he was forty-six. Roso declared that she had been in? love with him all ? her life. Certainly at two years old she had boon in tho habit of assuring h:m, "Rosie'll marry you when she'a big," whereupon he always answered, "All right, little wo ano, I'lVwait-forryou." The child's passionate devotion to the handsome officer was quite an amusement to her parents. But whon his regiment was ordered off to India, and they sa?v the little face grow white and thin, and heard her heartbroken sobs, they laughed no louger. Even after sho ceased^ lo cry for "Rosie's Colonel," she never forgot him. The pretty baby had grown to a tall, slim -girl .of thirteen when these two friends met again. By that time Rose Dysart Vas a pupil at a small and se lect boarding school in the onvirons of Paris, and on ono of tho frequent visits which her father and mother paid to their darling, they came, by ohance, across Colonel Clitheroe, who also was spending a fow days in tho gay capital. "flow is Rosie ? Has Bho foi gotten me?" were among his first questions. Mrs. Dysart laughed. "Rose is at school at Neuilly. Come with us this afternoon, and then judge for youreelf whether you have been forgotten. " The girl had not grown stiff and shy. She was immensely delighted to see her friend again, and she told him so. He joked her about her baby over tures toward him ; ho reminded her of how she would drag a footstool across the room, and hy its aid climb to his knee, and busy her small hands with his hair on tho pretext of making him "nice and tidy." "I have grown gray since those days," he said with a half Bigh. there upon Miss Rose declared that sho liked gray hair best. Each seemed to please the other; they seized in a moment on each other'd meaning, they appearod to di vine each other's thoughts. " "I shall come again," said Colonel Clitheroe, when tho visitors' hour was over and study muse begin. "I see th? t you and I shall be excellent friends, as wb were eleven years ago.' However, ho made no second visit to the "pensionnat" at Neuilly-sur Seine. His cid uncle's illness recalled hita suddenly to England, and Roso Dysart was a finished young lady and about to be introduced into society before she had the pleasure of meet ing her Colonel again. This girl's face was not strictly beautiful, but it wan a charming face ; sho was immensely admired, both by men and women. And there must be something lovable as well as lovely in a young lady of seventeen, when those of her own sex express sincore admir ation and can praise her whole-heart edly. Like many other parents, Mr. and Mrs. Dysart seemed to regard their daughter as little more than a ohild. They scarcely realized that others viewed her differently. "Of course, like other girls, Rose mn&t ero into society," thoy said, "but we nope it may bo years and years before we have to part with her.". And they were quite delighted that she should refuEo her first _threo of fers of marriage. It was in the spring, and just before her eighteenth birthday, that the Dy sarts loft their pretty Su* sex home for a furnished house in Eaton place, which they had hired for the season at a somewhat exorbitant rent. To tho great joy of Roso, Colonel Clitheroe was one of the flrst callers. He oise was in town for two or tbieo months, having, during the previous year, buried his old uncle, and in herited the property. "My dear fellow," said Mr. Dysart to him, with the familiarity of a friend of long standing, "you really ought not to remain uuraarriod. Try and re-, L CLITHEROE. member that you are depriving some woman of an excellent house, and a still more excellent husband ! A man in the prime of life-well off, good looking, retired from tho army wherolies the hindrance?" "Simply in this," replied the Colonel. "I have never been in love; and I should bo afraid to marry now that I am past the ago for the tender passion. You 6eo there is no 'three years' system* in matrimony. It has to be till death U3 do part." Mr. Dysart laughed. "Yon must not be allowed to remt.in a bachelor, my dear Clitheroo. I shall look round for some nice woman of five-and-thirty, and try my 'prentice hand at match making." "No; don't you get married, Colonel," exclaimed Rose, who was in the room. "I like you best as you aro. Indeed, I think changes are al? most always disagreeable. It is pleasanter for things to go oa pretty much the samo. I mean to remain single all iuy life so as never to have to leave father and mother." "You will bo reconciled to leave us when the right iran and right mo ment arrive," said Mrs. Dysart. "You may not think so now, girls never do before they aro really in love. But ia all probability the timo will come when, of your own wish and wili, you will go away from us." Rose shook her head. "I can't thbk so, mother. How ever, let us talk of some moro inter esting subject-of my being presented, for instance. Can you picture mc, Colonel, making my courtesy and kissing the hand of royalty? I hope I shan't turn awkward and shy at the last moment. I ought not, for as a little girl with a counterpane in place of a train, I have practiced my man ners over and over again." They all laughed. "No, I scaroely think you will be shy," said Colonel Clitheroe. "Be sides, the moment makes tho man, they say-so, of course, it makes the woman." The important day came. Roso Dysart was simply yet elegantly dressed, and her fresh young face won its fair share of notico as she waited among the crowd of debu tantes. Then followed six weeks of gayety ; concerts, opera, dances, garden par ties, riding m the Row ; nevertheless, the girl was glad when her father de oided to return to tho country beforo midsummer. Colonel Clitheroe was to bo ono of the after season guests at tho Dysarts' oountry house; he followed them within a fortiright of the departure from"Eton place. Was anything troubling him? Was he unwell I Those vrere the questions they asked him, for he did not seem so cheerful as usual? and he was apt to drop into fits of musing, so that even the voioe of Roso made him start as one doos who returns suddenly from the laud of dreams to reality. Tho faot was that ho had promised to execute a commission which was distasteful to him. "Colonel," a bright facod guards man had eaid to him ono day, "I'll tell you a secret. I am in love with Rose Dysart, and I shall nevor care tor another girl. Now, you and my father were boys together, and you aro the oldest friend I po ?ss in all the world. Say a good wor 'orme, will you? She thinks you k 'ible upen every point; she has t no herself that there is no one lik> 1. " Colonel Clithero ?rked vigorous ly at a tuft of grass \ h tho toe of hie boot for somo momt... before answer ing. "Have you spoken for yourself?" he suddenly inquired. "Not in plain word?. Every time 1 try j and get round to tho point, there seems a difficulty ; bnt I would try ray luck again and again if I thought I might win Rose in the end. Speak up for me, won't you, Colonel?" "If a favorable moment comes ; but I don't see what my recommendation can do for you." "Hasn't she known you all her lifo, and doesn't she think you worth any number of young fellows put to gether?" said Rawdon. "Tho chief subject of conversation when wo dance or whon wo sit out together seems to be the perfections o' Colonel Clith eroe ; and I've had to tell her all I could think of about yon when the reg iment was out in India. Aftor ex hausting facts, I try fiction, seeing that it is the only way to win a smile," and the young fellow laughed. The 'gray-haired n.an ' of six-and .orty was thinking over this conversa tion as thc train carried him down to Sussex ; but he thought of it even more as soon as Rose, in her bright yening beauty, stood boforo him. Harry Rawdon was a good fellow enough, but not good enough for the Dysarts' (laughter? Who, indeed, would be worthy of such a wife? "Nevertheless," reflected tho Col onel, "I knew his father when wo were both boys at school. I must do my beBt for Harry, and one of these days I will sound Rose on the subject, and get an idea of the state of her heart." "I must have been a positive nuis sanco to you, wasn't I, Colonel?" Rose said one day as they paced side by sido the terraced walk, while wait ing the summons to breakfast. "I know I was always running after you, yet you never seemed cross and bored." "I should think not, indeed," and the Colonel laughed. "Your advances wpre so flattering. I could not reckon np tho times you assured mo your in tention to marry rae wheu you grew big enough. Ah, child," aud now a sigh followed the smile, "I suppose one of these days I shall Btand among your wedding guests-and 1 don't think I shall eajoy that ceremony one bit." "You will never bea guest," and now Rose colored, yet held out her hand as bravely as whon the was a child. "Colonel ! I am going to do something dreadful, I suppose. Pleaee never tell any one ; and please say 'no* if you would rather give that answer. But I am big encugh now, and I tell you exactly what I did when I was two years old : 'I'll marry you' -or I shall certainly novcr marry any one." And in that moment Colonel Clitheroe knew that though his lui? was plentifully streaked with gray, and though his face had lines on it which nothing but the passage of yetrs can trace, he loved Roso Dysart as a man loves only onoe in a lifetime. It waB only when ho told Mr. and Mrs. Dysart of his good fortune that he remembered Harry Bawdon's com mission. "Never mind 1" said Rose. "Your recommendation of him as a husband would not have been of the slightest use. I havo loved you first and last and always-ever sinoo I waa two." That is how there came to be a young, bright girl who, bearing the title of Mrs. Colonel Clithoroe, walked by the side of her elderly husband one sunny Sunday to the accompaniment of tho church bells. Snow in hisiwir -summer in her faco, yet they were happy, with a happiness which is tbe portion of very few of the men and women whom tho world considers well matched.-Household "Words. An Enterprising Teach Grower. Tho great Halo peach orchard, in Goorgia, covers 1078 acres, GOO of which aro in bearing trees, and tho re mainder in nursery stock. There aro avenues running north and south through tho orohard 500 feet apart, with a cross road overy 1003 feet. There aro two largo packing houses 100 feet long and forty foet wide and two stories high, and a lodging house or hotel line just been built for tho help. Last year some 400 helpers camped in hams, wagon?, tents, etc. At picking time about 500 men and women, chiefly colorod, and seventy five horses and mules, are employed, while fifty men and thirty mules are employed tho year round. At the lodging housorooms and bedsore free, and board costs $2.50 a week, while families and parties can furnish their own food and have it cooked for them selves if tb cy choose. This year the curculio attacked the peaches, and Mr. Hale waged prompt war upon the in sects, jarring ths trees and catching tho insects in sheets tacked to light semicircular hoop frames. Two of these were brought together about a tree, which WM struck by a rubber padded club, and tho insects which dropped wero thon thrown into buckets and carried by boys to barrels in wagons aud drawn awoy to be burned with thc stung fruit which dropped with them. Fifty men were busy for nearly two months, from carly April onward, at this work, which cost ?4000. iiut while in other orchards from sixty to ninety per cent, of the fruit was lost, and in some orchards the entire crop, tho Halo orchard alone had a full crop, and many of tho trees were so overloaded that they required severe thinning by hand.-Forest and Gar den. _ Frosh Air for the Brain, Inasmuch as nature's vital processes are not haphazard, but aro exact chemical relations, tho importunoo of thc proper ventilation of school build ings cannot be overrated. In just the same manner as a cundle burns less brightly in impoverished air, so also does mootai activity decrease. This statement is substantiated by experi ment. According to "Heating and Ventilating," some English students on sanitation declare that tho produe tive work of scholars in badly-venti lated buildings falls twenty per cent, below the work of tho same children in well-ventilated schoolrooms,-and reports of as great as twenty per cent, gain from this cause haye been made in tho schools of Chicago. Another instance is found in the Case of %well known school which, when moved into new, light and airy quarters, i's re ported to have made a gain of from fifteen to twenty per cent, in yearly work accomplished. Tho several divisions of the pension bureau of the United States Gevernment were at ono time located in as maoy detached and scattered buildings in Washington. They are now quartered in ono large, roomy, well-lighted aud well-aired building. Under the old conditions about 18,000 days of labor per year were lost to the Government through illness in thc clerical force of that one department. Under tho improved conditions now existing and, notwith standing an increased force of em ployes, but about 10,000 days arolo6t through illness, a gain of 8000 work ing dayn, or twenty-seven years, to say nothing of tho corresponding in crease in tho working capacity of thc entire elerieni force-St. Louis Globe Democrat. Arlinda! Camphor. Owing to the widespread use of camphor in tho arts and in medicine, its increasing scarcity and expensive ness have raised tho problem of artifi cial cultivation. Thoro aro a number of trees, int:ny of them widely sepa rated in genus, order, or species, from which camphor is obtained. Tho tree, however, which produces most of the camphor of commerce is a member of tho laurel family, belonging to the samo genus as the cinnamon treo. This treo attains enormous sizo. The bulk of the camphor imported into Europo comos from Japan and Formosa, and a Bin nil amount from China, although the trees aro very abundant in tho lat ter country, and tho wood is much used. Every part of the tree is said to bo usoful, even the fruit being em ployed in thc preparation of tallow. Tho statement that tho large uso of smokeless powder is responsible for the high price of camphor is denied by Sir Frederick Abel, who says that, while camphor was much used in the manufacture of smokeless powder in tho carly days, it was soon 6hown to have serious practical disadvantages, and its use has been to a large extent discontinued. It is, however, used for tho conversion of collodion cotton in to celluloid, and, in combination with various ill-smelling compounds, is thu basis of most moth powders. In a re cently published account of tho com mercial and scientific value of this tree, Dr. E. Grassmnun urces the im portance of increasing the plantations to the greatest possible extent,and the placing of some restriction on the wanton deatruction of the trees. Popular Science Monthly. Al tempt to Steal a Crocodile, An attempt was made recently to steal ono of the crocodiles in the Jar din des Plantos, in Paris. Tho keeperr were awakened by tho roars of thc saurian, and ou investigating the cause found two men and a womun endeavor ing to raise tho animal over the rail ings. One man was inside the railing and was practically ot the mercy of tho animal. Ho was rescued with difficulty and put under arrest, but his confederates escaped. Nervous Performances. When Queen Victoria, then a girl of twenty, told tho Duchess or Gloucester of her announcement of her betrothal to Prince Albort to tho Privy Council, tho Duchess asked her if it was no: a nervous thing to do. She said, "Yes; but I did a much more nervomi thing n little while ago." "What was that?" "I proposed to Piiuco Albert.'* The Grandam.

The enthusiastic reception accorded to the Lord Chief Justice in the United States, says the New York Times, re calls the fact- that one of the greatest Lord Chancellors of England was born in New England.

At the oonolusion of tho war Copley deoided to continue a British subject in preference to be coming a citizen of the United States and returned to England with his fam ily, which included a son, born in America, afterward the celebrated Sir John Copley, who was Master of the Bolls, and subsequently, as Lord Lyndhurst, Lord Chancellor of Eng and.

A correspondent describes an ex hibition of hanging, which is attract ing large crowds of morbid spectators at Paris: "A man is attached by a cord to tho ceiling.

His face is thin and bony and appears convulsed, his eyes are almost shut, his veins are swollen and tho complexion is as ashen. Tho arms drop down at a little distanco from the body ; his hands aro contracted, the fingers bent. Tho veins aro so swollen that they seem to bo on tho point of bursting. The legs hang straight and stiff. This barbarous spectacle is served up with an accom paniment of music. It is observed that when-the music strikes up tho' hanging mau is seized with painful convulsions. In this position ho will remain thirteen days ; after that ho will remain buried 365, and will then take his placo among tho living. Tho rest the man takes in this hanging position consists in leaning against a ladder, which is placed in a position to permit him to doze without in tho least changing his attitude.

Tho train was running at a rapid rate be tween Xenia and Trcbeius, a distance of four miles, when the truoks of one of the cars gave way and jumped onto tho tracks of the Cincinnati, Hamil ton and Dayton road, which runs parallel with the Pennsylvania at that point.
