I lave never considered what I. ought to eat, but I have mad it a rule of my life to always leav the table wanting just a. little more. "I did not leave th' home roof, which was on a farm, until I wni nearly thirty years old, and it was my habit from November to April to eat a piece of mince pie every night just be fore going to bed. -. It was - rather a small piece, but I invariably took it nnd do not recall ever having even a bad dream in consequence. " "And I think, too, that digestion is like salvation to be worked out in dividually. We ar not all Baptists or Methodists, why must everybody be a vegetarian or soma other food crank?

It ia o ,..,.llr Vnnw-n that throughout this country large numbere of women have adopted embalming as a profession, and the head college of embalmmg has a large proportion of women graduate.

One auvan- ta" of the art is that it is easily ae nulred. The prospectus of the College of Embalming sets forth that "past ex perience has demonstrated tnas a com plete mastery of the science of body preservation in all its branches cannot be obtained in the short space of two or three days, and therefore the length of time required to learn the procese may extend from one week upward, according to the aptitude of the stu dent" When the student has proved his or her ability to conduct the opera tion of embalming under different con ditions in a satisfactory manner a di- fdoma is granted, and the ordinary ength of time required for graduation is two weeks.

Apropos of the projected Pan-American Bail way, it is to be noted that not only is the first cost of railway con struction in tropical countries very heavy, but the annual maintenance of way is expensive to a degree which cannot be appreciated by those who have had no experience in this connec tion. The Antioquia Bailroad, in Colombia, says Charles P. Yeatman in the Engineering Mf-rszine, cost in a single year for repairs of track and bridges"$2266 per mile. The Cauca Bailroad, in the same year, cost $3837 per mile. These two roads are in Colombia, and are sometimes men tioned either as future feeders of the Pan-American Railroad or parts of its main line. On the Antioquia Koad, if the undergrowth were cut at the be ginning of the rainy season, less than two months' rain was sufficient to form an nroh of green trees thirty feet high, leaning over the track so as to shade it completely. The constant change from dryness in the day to soaking moisture at night, even in the dry season, would soon ruin the best of timber, but na ture furnishes a still quicker means of getting rid of it, in the shape of an ant or wood louse, which is careful not to mar the outside of his domicile, but will patiently honeycomb the inside, until what looks like a solid twelve-by-twelve stick is. but. a shell from one eighth to one-fourth inch thick, filled with dust and ants. The native timber suffered so much from the inroads of these pests that, upon hearing that yellow pine was used in Panama to avoid them, a tri-tl of it was made on the Antioquio Boad. Georgia pine had to be shipped 1y way of New York, at a cost of nearly 100 per 1000 feet, board measure, when put in pla;e. When I left there the first of my yel low pine trestles was being replaced. It had been built less than four years. The present population of Berlin is 1.624,318, an increase over last year of 44,789, or 2.83 per cent. We have an idea that the women pay a good deal of attention to the hats worn by milliner. 41 BUDS, Society buds, young- wo-' men just entering the door of soci ety or woman hood, require the wisest care. .-- To be beautiful and charming they must have perfect health, with all it implies a clear skin, rosy cheeks, bright eyes and good spirits. At this period the young woman is especially sensi tive, and many nervous troubles, which continue through life, have their origin at this time. If there be pain, headache, backache, and nervous dis turbances, or the general health riot good, the judicious use of medicine should be employed. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip-' tion is the best restorative tonic and nerv ine at this time. The best bodily condition results from its use. It's .a remedy spe cially indicated for those delicate' weak nesses and derangements that afflict wo menkind at one period or another.- You'll find that the woman who has faithfully, used the "Prescription' is the picture of health, she loots well and she feels well. In catarrhal inflammation, in chronic dis placements common to women, where there are symptoms of backache, dizziness or fainting,, bearing down sensations, disor dered stomach, moodiness, fatigue, etc., the trouble is surely dispelled and the sufferer brought back to health and good "WOMAN'S H.LS.- Mrb.

Not content " with thls'she leaped to the bishop's chair and then set' about adjusting herself to tho surroundings by washing ber face. The sound of the clergyman's voice, however, s emed irresistible to her, and, jumping over the bras chancel rail, she leaped to the seat in front of the reading desk at which he was Kneeling. With the do e of the col lect, "Lighten Our Darkness,"' the choir, the congregation still knecl- Inir, sang an antbe n. This interval gave the dominie his coveted oppor tunity to make a lunge for the cat.

The on.y place to leap was the clergyman's back. Mho kitten eyed ber victim critically and was about to leap when she w.is start ed by tbe terrific yelp (jl a dog which had somehow got into the choir stall. The kitten now turned her atten tion to tbe.irgao,and peeping around, aw her enemy. Her enemy saw her at tbe same time.

The dog was held and the cat van ished just as tbe swell ng sound of the Onal "amen" brought the wor shipers from their knees, many of whom were entirely ignorant ot the fearful ordeal through which their pastor had gone during the space of ten minutes of prayer.
