It is with genuine gratitude I bear testimony to the efficacy of COOK'S BALM OF LIFE. Besides being a great sufferer with DYSPEPSIA in its many Torms, I had frequent attacks of ERUCTIONS OF GAS from the stomach, which lasted from three to seven hours, and were followed by very distressing and alarming SINKING SPELLS, and for which I could And no remedy until I called upon Dr. Dexter, of Washington, D. C, who told me that the best medi cine for that symptom, and one he often prescribed for his patients, was COOK'S BALM OF LIFE. I immediately procured a bottle, and after taking three doses my stomach was relieved, and before I had used one-half the con tents of the bottle that particular condition of my stomach was overcome, and now, nfter five years and having had no recurrence of the trouble, I feel safe in saying that the BALM CURED ME, for it is the first and only thing that gave me relief. I have by its use learned its value in other directions also, and consider it ONE OF THE VERY BEST FAMILY MEDICINES IN THE WORLD, and think myself unfortunate when I am without it. Hoping that others may be as much benetlted by Its use as I have been, I am sincerely yours, HELEN McCRARY. PROFESSOR COOK. Washington. D. C, December 0, It Dear Sin: Your BALM OF LIFE has become n household necessity and comfort to my family. For general use as a toilet article it is all wo desire; it keeps the head clean of dandruff, tho scalp and hair healthy, and manifests a wonderful sanitary and curative power, whether internally taken or externally applied. It acts as n preventive, as well as a cure for incidental ills to which all are more or less liable. It is harmless in all its various uses. The old, tho young, the sick, and the well will llnd it beneficial. Wo found it excellent in "second summer" diseases. I have bought for my family and personal friends moro than a hundred bottles of the BALM; nil are moro than pleased with its powers and usefulness. Wishing you a woll-raerlted prosperity, and the public that blessing directly duo to the general introduction and use of your BALM OF LIFE, 1 am gratefully yours. W. B. MOSES, Eleventh and F streets.

LB IV1XLEY5 Sole Owner and Proprietors CAPITAL NOTES. The rage for amateur photography is on the increase. There is hardly a family without at least one member who possesses a camera. Most of the developing is done at some of the big photographic establishments, but some amateurs are ambitious and have dark closets where they do their own developing. The Kodak is the popular camera because it is so clean and convenient. When the box is full it is sent back to the factory, where the plates are taken out, developed, printed and mounted, and the camera reloaded, but those who have made some progress in the art scorn its cleanli ness and convenience and use more intricate machines. I saw a collection of Indian photo graphs the other evening made by some men who united business and pleasure by a tour through the Indian Territory last summer. One of the most delightful pictures in the col lection was the welcoming smile of the Metho dist missionary a typical Yankee schoolmarm in appearance, who from her porch saw the to rest, and with eyes half closed have their finger nails manicured. Others take them be cause they think them healthy, and others for beautifiers, or, as the Shampooer Tillie told Arabella, "Some takes 'em, Miss Ar'bella, 'cause dey's ugly, others 'cause dey's pretty, others 'cause dey's fat and wants to get loan, others 'cause dey's lean and wants to get fat, some for lumbago, others for neuraliga, an' I don't know what dey don't take 'em for." And as these baths are taken for every reason in the world, every 6ort of people take them, from the shop girl, whose thin cheeks show hard work and poor food, to Mrs. Iligh-and-Miehty, whose thin cheeks show indulgence in rich food, lack of exercise, and late hours. In the hot room there is place for four or six people, and the at mosphere, no matter how sultry, is never ener vating enough, to make conversation impossible. Weighty discussions are rarely indulged in. They are not possible with the thermometer registering over a hundred. Gowns and hats are favorite subjects, but the aches and pains of the bathers arc the popular topics and given precedence to above all others. The most amusing thing in the world is to see a womau travelers approaching, and unsuspectingly gave them a smile of welcome, which the impertinent i u thc hot r00m who has uever taken a Turkish little Kodak caught and brought to Washing- bath before Sho gasps and pants au(1 pants ton for the delectation of those fortunate ,i ,,, ,uE E,n bi,wiii fnint mwi c cnr " fa""J'"I "" " "H.V U..V. ..... ......V, . . UW..V enough to be Invited to Inspect the pictures. Another smiling picture was that of Crazy Joe, a poor hunter of tho tribe, whose expression is as happy and laughing as that of a fawn. A popular subject with the photographers is the little old tumblcd-dowu cabin back of tho sho will die a dozen times before the shampooer is ready for her. After the scrubbing and tho rubbiug and manipulating has taken place the patient is put on a lounge, a blanket tucked about her, and she is left to rest, and then are heard little sighs of content, little giunts of de light. Sometimes a low-toned conversation White House. Ono does not have to hunt for j takes place, but generally every one is glad of the picturesque about Washington. At tho wharves, all along Rock Creek, and on the country roads are found charming subjects. Tho egg-rolling Easter Monday at the "White House grounds brought forth many cameras, and tho youugsters were caught in all possible positions. A man on a bicycle with a camera strapped to his back Is not an unusual sight, and there Is hardly a spot about Washington that has not been transferred to paper by Indus trious photographers. With a camera alwavs at hand we can leave our every expression to i our children, from the phonograph our natural , voices will speak our thoughts to our children's ' grandchildren, and theosophist6 and spiritual- ists say our souls come back, so that willy-nilly j our children will have us always with them disagreeable and uncanny things to think of. Imagine the 6oul of an old great-auut you de- I tested always bobbing in when sho is not want- i ed, turning the wine in your glass sour, and j throwing her 6hadow if 60ul6 have Ghadows i across tho French novel you are reading. The smiling faces of great-great-grandmother6, the cracked tenors of great-great-grandfather6, the dramatic recitations of great-great-auuts, and views ou the government of the kingdom he then occupies by a great-uncle, will be tho de lectablo eutertaluments for the future. Arabella says tho Tut kish bath has become so popular lately that when she goes there sho ha6 to wait her turn. Women take these baths jfar every reason under tbe 6uu. Some con fessedly for the plusisure of it, for the delicious sensation that comes from being rubbed, scrubbed, nud manipulated, and then laid away quiet and drop off Into a beauty sleep, which refreshes both mind and body. Most of the so ciety women who go to the bath deliver them selves over to the manicure and the hair-dresser while they are taking their rest. The manicure makes the fingers up after the most approved style, while the halr-dresser doctors tho scalp aud brushes out tho hair so thaj. It may take on the gloss which is now fashionable. After an hour'6 rest the patient dresses herself and goes for a constitutional if she is trying to reduce herself, aud if not sho takes her dear intimate to the Shoreham, aud they pick at a spring chicken, eat oysters, and drink Extra Dry. It Is curious what absurd lde.is children have about religion, and where some of their ideas come from. I heard a little boy the other day taunt a playmate because ho did not say his prayers. "Well," said the little boy who had been teased, and whose mother is an agnostic, "I guess I'm all right, for my mother don't say her prayers, and 6heis gooder than you are, and she ain't afraid to go in tho daik, either." Little Heury, aged three, has a negro nurse who has been Inculcating him with some of her re ligion. A few mornings ngo, on making his appearance in the breakfast-room, he said: "Say, mamma, are you living for this world or tho next" Mrs. was staggered for a mo moment, but as soon as she recovered herself 6ald: "Why, ray darling, just now I think I am living for this world." '"Ooman," said little Henry solemnly, "you hud better pray, and pray hard, if you want to be a sheep and sit on the right hand of God." Franklin was euter taiuiug his mamma, who vas 111, with a long story. It was all about a kite that floated in the air and went way up among the stars. "And the stars were so thick, mamma, way up in those great white clouds, that my poor old kite just stuck in amongthem and would not move," and Franklin stopped that this point- in his story might be appreciated. Then he went ou. j "And then my kite floated way up among the clouds, way up, way up," said Franklin, grow ing eloquent. "But," said his mamma, "If it was stuck how could it go on floating?" "Why," answered the baby, without a moment's hesi tancy, "Don't you know why ? God saw it was stuck, and He just put Ills arm down out of heaven and unstuck it." I There was a couple on F street the other day I who excited considerable attention. A dusky belle of gigantic proportions and ebony hue, I gowned in flaming colors, red aud yellow pre- dominating, her massive head in Its frame of crinkly wool surmounted by a Duchess of Gains borough hat, from which nodded and waved a I long white plume, held by a string a snow-white bull-terrier. Their appearance was ridiculous j enough, but not half so amusing as the carriage, or rather strut, of the belle. She threw her , shoulders up uutil they nearly touched her ears, and then raising her big, fat hands, with their weight of sparkling rings, to the level cf her ample waist, she guided her pet bull-terrier along to the chorus of "Say, wheic did you get tbatdorg'-" -k There is an abominable custom indulged in by the newsboys which should bo put a stop to. Those ambitious peddlers of news who "get stuck" as the slang goes invade the resident portions of tho community, where the good, conservative citizen retires early, every evening, at about 10 o'clock, and yell and yell, with all the strength of powerful lungs, "Extry Star," "Extry Critic," or "Extry New York papers," awakeulng all those who have already sunk into the arms of Morpheus and frightening the others, who imagine an assassination, to say the least. Windows are raised, doors are thrown open, and for a while there Is au exciting trafflc in the "extry" papers, which prove to bo only the afternoon editions. "I wish books like 'Marie Bashkirtseff's Journal' would never become fashionable," said a man prominent in the literary as well as the social world, "Why V" I asked. "Because the moment a book becomes fashionable it finds its way into the boudoir of tho society girl, whoso conversations are inane enough already. When she reads a book like poor Murle'6 jour nal she Imagines herself Marie, conies to tho conclusion sho is not understood, and talks about things she does not understand, and her conversations from being iuano become abso lutely Idiotic. There is Ibsen's "Doll's House," for Instance, an interesting story enough us stories go, whatever ono may think of tho moral luvolved, but the society people have read it and talked it over, construed it this way and con strued It that way.andfouudltrepletowithldeas which Ibsen never conceived of. Tho society woman is, I suppose, a necessary evil, but I wish she would not go'beyond her last.' " -No headachoufterdrlnkingll.Portner Brew ing Co.'s Vienna Cabinet aud Culmbucher Beers. IX LOCAL STUDIOS. George B. Matthews hns recently sold a por trait (three-auartcr length) of ouo of tho lato admirals, and is very busy with other orders. Mr. Richard N.

Max Weyl is preparing- for the Cosmos exhibi tion in his usually prolific style, aud as he is making rapid strides forward in his work visitors may expect to see something good. Mr. S. Jerome Uhl is making a study head of Mr. Clarence E.Messer, which cannot, with such a picturesque subject and strong and rapid worker, be other than good. He has many other subjects on tho way, and a visit to his studio can not but bo interesting. The coming exhibition of the local nrtlsls of Washington, to be hold at the rooms of tho Cos mos Club, promises to bo nn improvement on la3t year's. It is duo to tho kindness of the club and tho nrtists' own interests to do all in their power to make it a success. Mr. MacDonald is also working to that end. Ho has a very strong head of S. J. Uhl, showing tho vigor with wbloh he handles a portrait, while his "Quiet Walk" illustrates his skill In minia tures, and a larger canvas shows tho boldness and streugth of his compositional powers. James Henry Moser has closed his wnter-color sale nt Mr. Fischer's with very satisfactory re sults, having realized nearly $1,0Q0. Ho has hud tho patronage of manv prominent persons, among whom was Mrs. Harrison, who purchased a marine view entitled "A Sunny Morning by the Sea." Mr. Mosor's friends uro glad of his well-rewarded endeavors. U. S. J. Dunbar has just finished a remarkably strong bust of tho lato Vice President Thomas A. Hendricks, which ho intends to cut in marble himself, commencing probably next week. He is also makinir a terra cotta bust or Professor A. P. Hnupt, tho German teacher, and u small ideal study of n woman. He intends to devote nil of his leisure during the summer to decorating pot tery and smull fanoy Ideal work in terra cotta. Ho hopes to be well represented in tho Cosmos exhibition, and is working hard to prepare a good showing. Home Truths.
