Notwithstandino tho persistent

press to prevent contributiona, tho
Prosident'e manly appoal for donations
for tho relief of the poor Cubans. who
are euffering for tho neceeeiticB of life
by reasou of tbo condilions on tho
island and not for any faults of their
owd, haa touched the charitablo bearts
ef tbo country and substantial relief ie

Arrangements bavo been mado for
Mlsa Clara Barton, Presideut of tho
American Red Cross, to go to Cuba
with a Btaff of assislanta to belp the
TJnited States (Joneular agenta in dis
tributing the aid among tbe euffering.
Tho Presulent is much gratifled at tbo
prompt responBo of tho country to bis
appeal for aid.
Pkesident McKinley is thorough
ly alivo to tbe meaning of tbo present
attitude of tbo grcat powers of Europe
towards China. Ile knowa that they
are after commerce aa well as territory.
Tbo United States wants no territory
aa far away as China, but it does want
to kecp tho valuablo Chinceo trade it
already bas and to add to it, and, whilo
ot intcnding to gct mixcd up in any
Kuropean deala or tquabbles, it does
intend to lake wbatever stcps that may
fce neccBsary to protect An.crican cqm
wercial intereBts in China. The Unlied

must be rccognized by any power that
acquirea territory by any meana in that
country, and with that end aolely in
tiew, tho President and hia advisers
aro watching every movo mado by tho
powera of Europo in or towards China.
In other worda, wo have nothing to do
with tbo relationB of Cbina and other
Bationa so long as our treaty rights aro

The United Siatea Treaaury atarls
into 1898 with a moro pleasing outlook
than it haa bad at the begiuniug of a
jear for aomo timo. There was a sur
plus of about $1,750 000 for tho month

The Most Eminent
Recommends Dr.
Rev. Dr. Talmage Finds Help in the Use of Dr.
Greene's Nervura and His Commendation
of this Grand Remedy Will Influence and
Encourage the Weak, Sick and Suffering
to Use It and Be Cured.
RKV. T. DEW1TT TALMAGK.
Rev. T. DeWitt Talmage, undoubtcdly
the greatest living dlvinc, occupics in the
hearts and minds of tbe pcople a position
of pre-einlncnt cstcem and regard. No
other preacher is so witlely kuown, no
other clergyman is so distinguibhed
throughout the world. A great orator and
writer, his sennons have tbc widest dis
semination, until there is scarcely a family
where his name and works are not known.
When such a man, a rccognized leader
and teacher of tbe people, testifies by his
written tcstimonial that Dr. Greene's Ner
vura blood and nerve remedy has helped
him and tliat be recommends its use for
invigoration after over-work, to restore
tbe strength, energy, nerve force and
vitality of the system, when for any
reason they are lost, weakcncd or im
paired, tbose who are sick and suffering,
who are weak, nervous, witbout strengtli,
energyand ambition, who arc discouraged
and dlsheartened by repeated failures to be
cured, in fact all who have necd of a
strength-glving and health restoring med
icine, cau take renewed hope from tbe
words of this great preacher, that Dr.
Greene's Nervura is the one remedv
among all others to give thctn back tbe
nealtn anu strengtli tney liave lost.
Rev. Dr. Talmage says :
1400 Mass. Ave., Washington, D.C.
I commend Dr. Greene's Nervura blood
and nerve remedy for invigoration after
over-w ork. I have us.ed' the Nervura for
that purpose.
T. DeWitt Talmage.
Ilope of cure should not be lost while
Dr. Greene's Nervura remains untried;
no one should be discouraged or despair
of a cure who has not yet soiiRht in this
wonderful remedy relief froin the pain of
rheutuatism and neuralgia; restoration
from nerve-weakncss nnd nervous prostra-
fCaveats, and Tradc-Marhs obtalncdand all Pat-

tired feelings, run-down and cxhaustcd
sensations of general debility ; a cure from
tbose conditions which causc indigcstion,
dyspcpsia, kidney and liver complaints,
femalc weakness, etc.
You can be cured if you will use Dr.
Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy.
Strength of nerves, strength of musclc,
strengtli of body, renewed power, ambi
tion and endurance are its wondrous gifts
to nerve-weakened, run-down, dcbili
tated, nervous, tired out and cxhaustcd
people.
To the despondent and discouraged it is
the hope of renewed life, a new world,
as It werc, from which pain, suffering
and despair are banished ; to the weak,
tired and prostrate, it is a tower of
strength ; to the nervous, sleepless, irri
tablc, brain-weary and nerve-racked, it
gives natural, refrcshing slcep and strong
and steady nerves; to the low-spirited
suffercrs from nervous prostration and
female complaints it is the entrancc upon
a new cxistence of robust liappiness: in-
deed, the sick and suffering will find in
Dr. Grecne s Nervura a ventaOlo fountam
of health.
Dr. Greene's Nervura is n pbysician's
prescription, the remedy of physicinns
for tbe cure of the people. Use it if you
have need of a health and strength-glving
medtcine, and consult Dr. Grcenc, if sou
desire, which may be tlone ithotit cbni ffe,
either personally at his oilice, 3) Temple
l'lace, ISoston, Alass., or nv letter.
Above all do not bc nertuadcd to ncci.pt

the world of nnvthing like the vnlue,
poyver and ellicncy of Dr. Grcene s ser

Wbon tho rcgiment haa forraod lino

Around tho shndy main avonuo of

moat flowering planta tho windows
openiug to the eouth aro proferable to
thoso with n western outlook, as during
tbo ehort dava of winter tho planta in
tho latter will havo but little eun, and
tben it will bo too low down near tho
bonzon. For a fow planta tho windows
looking to tbe east may bo UBcd and
for ferns and Bimilir elmde lovinc
eorts, they are deBirable. Whilo the
nortbern windowa may bo used for
eome of tbat class of plants, it ia not a
desirablo exposure.
In caso a buy window upon the eouth
eide of the living rcom can be obtained
for fl iwera, very good resulta can be
eccurcd. It ehould bo scparatcd from
tho room by glats doora tbat Can be
thrown opeu or closed at pleasure, but
in caee they are not to bo bad, much of
tbe labor of kceping tbe planta in good
condition can be saved, if curtains aro
provided, to bo used when eweepiug.
In addition to books for banglng bar.
ets and bracket atanda for pot planta, it
will bo wellto bavo a Bhelf, from ono to
two feet in width, according to tbe
dimensions of tho window, upon which
to arrango tbe emaller plante. Thia
ehould havo sido p eces ono to two
inchea high, and a ziuc lining. Tho
boitom could tben be coverid with
coarae gravtl or flno pebblee, and a
much bettor growth could bo aecured,
as the plants in small potB would then
be lees llkcly to dry out.

nish bottom heat, ULless heating pipea
run elunfi under tho shelf, when they
would only need to bo boxed in. In
caeo tbe lamp is used, it will bo neccs
eaty to provide eomo eort of shield to
prevent it from eetting flro totho wocd

pan lllled with plaster suspended nbove
the lamp and closo to the bttlom of tho

If an ordinnry window is to bo used,
it will bo well lo bavo a similar ehelf at
tho hlght of the window sill. If mado
two or thrco feet longer than tho win
dow is wide, it will hr.ld a considnrablo
number of plants. For the bay window
and tho common window as well, if tho
sizo of tbo room admita of it, a plant
etand with ehelvea in the formol ataira,
or with a fht top, can bo used to good
ndvantage lo dieplay tho larger pbnte.
By having it arranged with casters, if
tho i lants tbat requiro a high temperat
uro are kopt upon it, upon cold nights
it will be an easy mutter to roll it back
from tho window and thus keep tho
tender plants from becoming chil lod.
