The medicine furnished by the doctor gave me slight relief but I could detect no permanent benefit.

This she did, and after a jolting ride over a poor road we finally reached home, tired, worn and in sorrow. I took the first pills that night, and left my wife sitting sorrowfully comparing the flickering hopes of my life with the faint rays of light from my bedroom door, while thought only of what the doctor had said.

ALL PARIS IS EXCITED A YOUNG WOMAN WARNS HUMANITY OF COMING DISASTERS. She Claims to Bt Intermediary of the Angel GabrieJ- One OJoubts She la Circles Excited Over the Matter. An enormous sensation is "boing caused in Paris by the seances yiven by young woman of 25, named Kenriotte Condon, in the Rue de Parados. She claims to be a direct intermediary of the Archangel Gabriel, who lias specially selected to warn humanity of coining disasters to Europe. The girl asserts that a vision of the archangel appeared to her in August last as she was sitting quietly on a sofa at home, aud since then she has been under the influence of the archangel.
It was only recently, however, that she gained full knowledge of the power that was "being exercised over her. This strange case has become public, and now fashionable Paris jostles on the staircase and in the an.teroorn in order to obtain the ten minutes' conversation which the girl accords to each person who is furnished with a letter of introduction. There is no question that her motives are above suspicion, her parents being eminently respectable. No money or gifts of any sort are asked for or accepted. The utmost that can be said in her disfavor is that she is probably a neurotic.
While Zola, mindful of Lourdes, hesitates to compare with Br-rnadette Sou- birnns, Dr. Guinon 01 L'Ecole de la Salpet riere declares she is either mad or in a state of somnambulism, probably the latter. Meantime the visionary exercises a powerful influence on all consulting r. s'people do in hundreds from 10 o'clock in the morning till 10 o'clock at night. Women are.
particularly impressed, and extraordinary scenes of emotion take place as the visitors leave the house. People above suspicion affirm that the young woman knows their life secrets, which they have scarcely breathed to a living soul, but her prophecies respecting future troubles in Europe are somewhat vague. The woman repeats in much the same words to each person a sort of siugscng version of the coming holocaust that is to fall on France and England. It is impossible to look into her large, piercing blue eyes arid not feel that she is speaking with the utmost sincerity. Whatever her condition may be, there is a great deal of diversity of opinion in Paris respecting it.
The journals publish column reports about her, and a controversy rages in re- ligious'circles. The archbishop of Paris is unable to decide what to do. Some persons assert she is possessed of a demon, others that she is an earthly saint. Those around her believe implicitly in her declarations. It is impossible to predict the outcome of the Cor.

The evidences are actual photographs of landscapes, men, women and paintings, taken with an ordinary camera," developed and printed by every day processes, but differing from ordinary photographs in that the colors as well as the lines, lights and shades are present. The principal additions to the present outfits are a specially ruled screen, which is placed directly before the sensitive plate in the camera, and a specially ruled paper on which the colored photograph is printed.

Nature intended that every woman should look forward to the coining of her baby with joy and hope, unclouded by anxiety.
Almost painless parturition is quite the usua.1 thing among uncivilized people. Kven in our own country it occasionally happens with women in robust health and good condition. It ought to be the rule instead of the exception and it is a fact that a ver proportion usua a an suf- faring may he avoided by looking after the mother's general health, and specially strengthening the particular concerned in parturition. Many mothers have been brought through the trying time almost painlessly by the aid of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription.
