If every woman who expects to become
a mother would heed and read that great
boot. "The People's Common Sense Med
ical Adviser," by Dr. R. V. Pierce, chief
consulting physician to the Invalids' Ho
tel and Surgical Institute, Buffalo, N. Y.,
there would be stronger mothers and
healthier, happier children in this world.
In this grana volume several hundred of
its thousand pages are devoted to teaching
women how to take care of themselves
daring every trying and critical period of
their lives ana especially at the time of
approaching motherhood.
The author of this remarkable work has
had a lifetime of practical experience in
treating the special diseases and weakness
es of women, and is recognized as one of
the foremost of living experts in this partic
ular field of practice. His " Favorite Pre
scription " is the most wonderful medicine
ever invented to restore natural organic
strength and power to the delicate femi
nine structure which is most intimately
concerned in motherhood.
Taken during the time of anticipation it
deprives this ordeal of all its accustomed
terrors and dangers ; makes the coming of
baby absolutely safe and comparatively
painless ; renders the mother strong and
cheerful, and helps to endow the child
with a strong, healthy constitution.
Mrs. Mabel Jordan, of Swofford. Lewis Co.,
Washington, writes ; "I took Dr. Pierce's Favor
ite Prescription until the very last day. We now
have a fine, plump little girl over two weeks old.
I suffered less pain than with any of the others,
this being the sixth child, and she has good
health. I got up on the tenth day and dressed
myself—something I could not do with the other
babies. Have been gaining in strength every day
and feel well, all dne to God and to Dr. Pierce s
Favorite Prescription."

USE OF BICYCLES IN CHINA.
Much rifd by Foreignfr* in the Cit
ies on tin- Coast.
Consul General Goodnow at Shang
hai reports that the trade in bicycles
In China increased very rapidly during
the past season and gives promise of
sven more rapid expansion during the
3eason now opening. Prior to 1897
very few bicycles were in use on the
Chinese coast, while now, in all ports
where cycling is possible, the habit is
becoming almost universal among for
eigners.
"Society here." says the consul gen
ral, "is dominated by the English,who
claim that no man or woman can hope
to endure this climate unless they de
vote considerable part of each and
every day, rain or shine, to outdoor
exercise and sports. Horseback riding
has been universal among those who
can afford that luxury; others take
long walks daily. The bicycle appeals
to all —rich, middle class and poor—
and all classes are using it. The city
of Shanghai is perfectly flat, and some
of the roads in and immediately around
the settlements are good. Each na-
tionality has generally bought whee>s
made in their own home country, and
at first the English wheel, with brake,
mud guard and heavy tubing, predom
inated. I believe that now the more
graceful and lighter American wheels
have the larger sale.
"No wheels are made in China, nor
do I believe they can be made here. No
wheels are brought in on a less rate
of duty than those from the United
States. There are no native roads, as
we understand that term. There are
narrow paths for the pedestrian or the
horseman, but generally not wide
enough for %-ehicles; dusty in dry
weather, muddy in wet, and rough all
the time, they are practically impossi
ble for wheeling.
"Few Chinese have as yet taken to
the wheel. Their clothing is not adap
ted to exercise, and especially not to
the wheel. No man above the coolie
class, in middle and northern China,
appears in public otherwise than in
long clothes —i. e„ an outer petticoat
reaching to his ankles. The few young
Chinamen who ride here either leave
oft this outer garment temporarily or
turn it up and fasten it at the waist.
They also bring the long queue of hair
over the shoulder and fasten it at the
waistband. Their trousers are as long
and full and baggy as the average
woman's divided skirt in America, and
I have not yet seen a Chinaman ride
without a chain guard to keep the
trousers from catching and tearing.
No Chinese women ride. I have seen
it stated in American and English pa
pers that it is now common in Shang
hai for Chinese ladies to ride in the
streets. Nothing can be farther from
the truth. The Chinese women of the
better class are kept in absolute seclu
sion from men other than those of their
family. This rule has not been broken
in the slightest degree. Even in the
missionary schools, where the daugh
ters of the merchants and mandarins
are educated, no man is allowed to see
the girls.
"The customs report of 1897 showa
that in many important products the
imports from the United States have
increased at the expense of imports
from other nations. We are nearer to
the market, freights are less according
ly, and the feeling of the Chinese peo
ple is more friendly to Americans than
to the people of any other nation. Now
is the time to push our trade on this
coast. Ido not believe that any other
method will give better or more per
manent results than an exposition of
United States products at Shanghai."
An A«rri<!»*nfal
rmce npon a irrne, no runs the slory,
there was a man in London who had
ventured upon various publishing
schemes with but poor success, and
was beginning to despair of ever mak
ing a fortune when, by chance, he be
thought himself of a huge scrapbook
which his wife had compiled of var
ious literary odds and ends that had
enchained her fancy. She called her
scrapbook "Tit-Bits," and it occurred
to her husband that such odds and
ends, published in periodical form,
might interest other i»eople as well as
his wife. The result of this medita
tion on his part was the appearance
of a little penny paper called "Tit-
Hits," which proved so popular and
gained such a wide circulation that
its proprietor felt encouraged to place
other literary ventures on the market,
and it was not long before he became
known as the publisher* of a number
of extremely popular penny periodi
cals. lie is now a millionaire many
times over and a baronet, while his
wife, whose scrapbook proved the
cornerstone of their prosperity, llnds
her reward in the title of I.ady

If the (Jaim<i of a Yonii • In
ventor Are True.
The man who flatters himself that he
is safe because he is behind a house
when another man is firing off a gun
at the other side, had better get rid of
that ridiculous notion once and for all.
For a young inventor claims to have
discovered a wonderful new way of
making bullets; and if the new bullet
meets with that popularity which its
remarkable abilities appear to warrant,
it won't be quite safe to be in a bal
loon while an effort is being made to
fire down a well. In short, the new
bullet will, even if it does only half of
; what is claimed for it, upset all old
fashioned notions of the laws govern
ing the flight of projectiles.
Arthur Chalk of Church Place, High
street. Wapping, is the young inventor
in question, and he yesterday told a
Daily Mail reporter that this new bul
let of his would go around corners.
' suddenly shoot up in the air and de
' scend point first on top of a town or
: anything, or fly round and round and
then jump back and kill off an enemy
[ at the back of the man who fired it.
"I cm but eighteen years of age,"
said Mr. Chalk, modestly, "and I am
confident that I have invented a bullet
that will revolutionize fighting. What
I claim, and am prepared to prove, is
that with my bullet I can hit an object
that is round a corner or on the other
side of a bloi*fc of houses. There is ab
solutely no doubt about the accuracy
of the aim. Supposing, now, you
wanted to hit something that was
round the corner cf a mountain. When
you had found the distance between
your gun and the mountain you would
fix your bullet to alter its course at
a certain moment. Then you'd fire,
and the man round the corner would
be sorry.
"Or, say you wanted to hit an ene
my's ship lying on the other side of one
of your own. That would be the
easiest thing imaginable. You would
just fix your bullet to go straight for a
bit, then soar upward for awhile, and
then rush down point first on top of
ths doomed vessel.
"I tell you, my bullet will go any
way and do anything you :nay want it
to, and I've written to the war office
to say so.
"Up to now the only communication
I have received in reply is the usual
stereotyped acknowledgment; but the
patent office people—he did not men
tion names—have valued the invention
at £150,000, and have told me that it
is the most marvelous invention of the
present age.
"I shall wait for a further commun
ication from the war office, and if I do
not hear from then I shall offer my
invention to a foreign government. Of
course I would rather the new bullet
became the property of the English
government, but I want to know soon."
Mr. Chalk is a modest and very earn
est inventor, and when he mentioned
that he had tried one of his bullets in a
field, and that the projectile, 0i..-.)ient
to his wish, had circled in the air about
five times and had then fallen behind
him, he did so with the air of a young
man who is calmly confident that he
has thought out a great thing. But of
the method by which he alleges he ob
tains these unusual results, no hint can
be extracted from him. That is the
secret he hopes to obtain those £150,-
000 from.
The Knrllent Journal
The oldest newspaper in the world
is not, as is generally stated, the thou
sand-year-old Kin Pan, of Pekin, but
the Tsimr-Pao, or ivi»i„ Nms, wnicn
was first published more than 500
years before the Norman conquest, and
which has been published without in
termission for nearly 1,400 years.
The Tsing-Pao hag the appearance
of a yellow-backed magazine of twen
ty-four octavo pages, each page con
sisting of seven columns, and each
column consisting of seven "charac
ters." Two editions are published—an
edition oe luxe for the Court and the
upper classes in China, at a cost of
24 cents per month; and an edition.
Inferior in paper and printing, which
costs 10 cents a month.
The Tsing-Pao is the Times of China
and chronicles the wealth and move
ments of the Emperor, the life at
Court, and the reports of Ministers.
It is painfully significant that every
error in printing the latter is punished
with death.

Circumstances are still much In the

a Yorkshire Socialist was explaining
to a friend the principles of his belief,
and he made the statement at the
outset that all possessions should be
shared equally.
"If you had two horses," said the
friend, "would you give me one?"
"Of course," said the Socialist.
"And if you had two cows, would
you do the same?"
"Of course 1 should,"

Treat Well the l.ivery Horse
Our dumb Animals offers the follow
timely suggestions■
"If yon hire u horse at a livery stable
yon ouifht to treat him ah if he were
yctir own If you drive bita out ten
miles yon ought not to see to your own
wants until you see him properly eared
for. If an honest man, you will re
member that }on are under a two-fold
obligation to that animal an obliga
tion to its owner and an obligation to
the animal. You are the debtor of
both, and though yon pay the price of
the horse, yet no money can release you
from the duty and moral claim involved
in the bargain between yourself and the
owner. To neglect the poor speechless
beast that cannot appeal to the commis
eration of a passerby, is simply mr
pardonable, and the man who is guilty
o." such neglect is worse than a brute."

For its rare literary merit as well as
for its faithful picture of Popultsi de
generation we enclose this poem. "Pass

esteemed contemporary, the Topeka
Capital:
Things ain't like they was in Kansas
When we pops was young and gay.
Seems as if we re slidin backwards
'Stead of pressin on onr way.
Tain t like it was when years ago
We enlisted for this fuss
For to meet and tight s.nd rassle
With the

' Then wed git the gang together
Just by bawlin' Speech to night''
Now they come, but Ibnnderation!
Crowds are mighty awful light'
Stuns as if they've all forgotten
Why we started up this muss;
Setms as if they've got no feeling
Gainst the

Sick stomach means sick man (or
woman). WLv not be well?
Sick stomach comes from poor food,
poor nourishment: means poor health,
poor comfort. Shaker Digestive Cord

If we could examine our stomach we
would understand why it is that so lit

But, unless we are dc-tors. we never
see our stomach. We only feel it We
would feel it less if we took Shaker Di

Shaker Digestive Cordial makes your

FRAUD ON THE KENNEBEC.
Elclpperg Who Heaped Harvests With Good«
Not In the Manifest. ,
The recent discovery of finding goods
on American fishing vessels not down
on the manifest calls to mind an inci
dent that happened years ago, the
truth of which the writer and some oth
ers as well can vouch. The fact that
smuggling has been continually going
on for yaars can best be Illustrated
by the arrival of a fishing schooner at
.the mouth of the Kennebec with wines
and liquors from St. Pierre, N. F. The
skipper gave out that fishing was a
failure and the craft was hauled into
a secluded cove and apparently aban
doned. Not so the cargo, for the crew
proceeded up the river, where they
succeeded In hiring an old decked
scow. Returning at night the cargo
was transferred to the scow and se
curely hid beneath the deck, when
suddenly afterward the craft and crew
conceived the idea of going up river
on an eeling trip. The necessary bar
rels, with all other equipments neces
sary to a successful trip were put j
aboard, and the scow, piled high with
eel traps, sailed away for Gardiner,
where she arrived later and tied up at
Clark's wharf in then Pittston. Public
curiosity was aroused by the novelty
of this new business, and numerous
visitors watched the men as they
placed and pulled their eel pots here
and there, while the captain explained
the process and the amount of money
there was in the business. After a few
weeks of this desultory kind of fishing
the craft sailed away, the crew largely
enriched by this perhaps original man
ner of selling a high grade of liquor to
parties In the secret, who were all men
of distinction and good judges of what
they bought frequently in large quan
tities. Perhaps it is needless to say
that the eels were never shipped, but
returned to their natural element at a
proper season. Most of the men who
sought and did enrich themselves in
this case I have mentioned are now
dead, but the system still remains, and
It is indeed remarkable the customs of
ficers have so long been ignorant of
the fact.
Bright Spurn Disappearing;.
Bright spars, that Is to say, unpalnt
ed spars of wood, are fast disappear
ing from the deep-water ships of the
world, for the reason that such ships
are no longer built of wood, but of
steel, as are also their lower masts,
and often their top mast, and, it may
be, their yards, too, up to and including
their topgallant yards, and these are al
ways painted. There is a four-masted
British ship now lying at a South street
wharf whose only bright spars are her
topgallant ruasts and jigger topmost.
Excepting her royal yards all the rest
of her spars, bowsprit, lower masts,
topmasts 011 the three forward masts,
and all her yards below her royalE are
of iron and all painted. Her royal
yards are of wood, but these are paint
ed, too.
Clenr Grit In the .Nuvj.
If there is any one thing that the
Cuban war has proved up to the handle
it is that our navy is clear lighting grit
all the way through. Never once has
it failed under any test. Not an officer
or a man has flinched from any danger,
but many have wept because others
were sent to face death without them.
