/Athletics alone will not
f L_ll make a young woman thor-
JT oughly healthy. The wise
B counsels of a good mothet
' W or some older woman are
■ indispensable.
Q The best and noblest mis
sion of a woman is to bear
and rear healthy, intelligent children. In
order to do this, she must be healthy and
strong in a womanly way. Both the intel
lectual and physical future of her children
depend largely upon the mother. Dr.
Pierce's Favorite Prescription is the best
of all medicines for maids, wives and moth
ers. It is intended to do but one thing and
does that one thing thoroughly. It acts
directly on the delicate and important or
gans concerned in wifehood and mother
hood and makes them strong, healthy,
virile, vigorous and elastic. Taken dur
ing the time of preparation, it banishes the
trial.- and dangers of maternity. It injures
the well being of the mother and the robust
health of the child. It is the greatest of
nerve tonics and nerve builders. Thou
sands of women have told the storv °f 'V
marvelous accomplishment?. Good rrredi
cine dealers sell it and will not advise a
substitute in place of it.
In a letter to Dr. Pierce, Mr. C. A. McDonald,
of No. '23 N'. Chestnut Street, Los Angeles. Cal.,
says: "At Junction City I became acquainted
with Tf. C. Lee M. U„ an old practitioner. He
said he was a college chum of yours, but that you
went to Europe to the best hospitals, whi'.e he
commenced practice: that for thirty years you
were considered one of the leading physicians
in N'ew York State, and he considered vour rem
edies better than all others, and prescribed them
daily in his practice On the strength of this
commendation I tried your ' Favorite Prescrip
tion aud the ■ Pellets." The ' Favorite Prescrip
tion ' has acted lite magic in cases of irregu'.sr
and painful monthly periods, a few doses only
being necessary to restore the natural function.
Tiie ' Pellets' have proven an infallible cure for
sick and bilious headache.'*

In the government building is attract
in" a (rood <i: a! of attention from all

rooiiclr of naval vc> vis.-including bat
tkshin-. art >rtd and unarmored
erni-j:,. . monitors, rams,
jjgj . and the terrible dyna
miter V< ivius These models are
all built i .-. t caie and cost aa

pecially fcr the Trar.»-Mi»sissippi ex
posiuoD, and eosl $3,-600. It ifc per
leet in (fen detail, and exhibitions
of dot:..:. lllinoi are given
daily.
In the f.-.:.: tof ore; ance for fight
ing tin is a one-half model of
a 13-inch gun, 40 feet long. A view of
this monster and a consideration of
the fact thai battleships carry four
of tbt .11.. each weighing 88 tons
and hurling projectiles weighing MM
pounds each, gives one some idea of
the mni .w strength of a first-class
war vessel. The breech and breech
mechanism of this gun are the most
wonderful parts of it. Although the
breech p'ug i.s subjected to a pressure
of 15 tons to the square inch when the
gun is fired, it is loosened and opened
by a single motion of the crank, which
visitors are free to operate. There is
also one of those wicked rapid-fire
guns which drove the Spanish from
their gnad ami swept their ships to
destruction at Manila asd Santiago.
On this in ai\ shown the telescopic
sight aud rar.e finder, as well as the
point ii n. ■ :n. by which 35
aimed shots per minute may be made.
This, however, eeeuis slow when com
part d with the automatic rapid-fire
gun. v. aieh throws 2ja oce-pound shells
per minute —the terror of torpedo
boats. Projectiles of all sizes for the
various guns are exhibited, fcnm the
Dior.strr 1,1-Incli shell to the sanall but
terribly j letraticg bullet fired from
the riile uied by the marines when
ever they are called upon to make a
landing and do military duty. Some
very convincing evidences of the
penetrali power of tirese bullets
are shown.
Th' re is a full-sized Whitehead tor
pedo, with its "war-head" and ready
for business, which cost the govern
ment about $3,000 to produce. Al-. |
though torpedoes were not much used
in the late war. owing to the watch
fulness of the lookouts and the power
of the searchlight, they are still much
to be dreaded for the work they can
do under certain circumstances.
Resting near the big 13-ineh gui. ar.d
forming a fitting companion for it is
a model of a 14,000-pound anchor. Its
simplicity does not prevent it from
attracting lnuch attention.
Near bj- is a complete diver's outfit,
including ac air pump and a telephone.
At tirst glance it seems a little strange
that n man needs heavily-iveigiited
shoes and a heavy belt of lead to en
able him to sink in the water, but they
are very necessary parts of a diver's
outfit.
A striking' example of the com; nct
ness of a naval vessel k> shown in a
completely furnished stateroom, as ac
cupied by a commissioned officer on
one of the lartrer vessels. While it
is only a feu' feet each way, if eon
tains everything necessary, from a
tub to a fair-sized writing desk, and
there is room to spare. . •
The binnacle compass seems a Chi
nese puzzle to the uninitiated, but
when explained by one of the attend
ant?. it apyars very simple indeed
and is most interesting.
Samnlea of the signal code flags
hang from the ceiling, and visitors al- j
ways v.-o:i<:- r at ihc simple but perfect
means by which ships communicate'
and orders are given at sea. There
is also shown the distinctive flag of
the president of the United States—
interesting 1 because so rarely seen. It
is cari'! ! on al! ships, but is hoisted
only when the president is on boar-1.
The uniforms worn by the "-lack
ies" attract much attention as per
taining exclusivelj- to the men who
have done such valiant service during
the past few months.
Besides these more notable exhibits
there countless smaller but no less
inter oVeets which are worthy
of can inspection.

Queen Isabella of Spain, the little

the nrit.' h colony are made welcome
In her beautiful house, %vhich was built
by herself some 20 years ago, in Paris.
■Although Isabella is an exile, she is
royallv lodged; even the stables are
among the finest in I'aris. and a special
corner i ; a. idc for the muies, which
have the honor of being driven only by
the quet 11 herself. The queen, who will
be ■ ■ on> October 10 next, was only three
year., oh! when she was proclaimed
queen, so she can never remember a
time wh; > was not styled "Youi

eat little court are devoted to her, and
yet their emoluments arc small, for
when Isabella abdicated in favor of her
son she gave up her immense estates tc

retirement to Paris he found it nee

CAMERAS SAVE SALARIES.

Photography is cheaper than clerk
aire. At least one of the big insur
ance companies has found it so, and
that is the reason the policy applies.
aticn> mac!e to the company are now
copied, for filing and reference, by
the aid of a dry plate and a quick lens
instead of being turned over to a corps,
of copyists. By so doing the salaries
sf IS clerks are saved to the company
and there is no possible chance for
Inaccuracies occurring.
The head of the photographic de-'
partment of the big insurance com
pany is the authority for the state
nent that the two operators turn out
daily r.*o copies of policy applica.tiQns,
a task formerly requiring 20 clerks.
Fhe innovation meets with approval
snd the results have been more satis
factory than was expected when the
charge was made.
In the old days each application, to
gether with the numerous documents
accompanying it. bad to be copied In
long-hn: ' ar.d then compared and veri
fied \ll of which required time. And
even with the utmost precaution dis
crepancies were found to occur. A
slip of a letter or sometimes of a
punctuation mark might cost thecom
pany hundreds of dollars If a legal
action should arise over the policy.
But the use of photography had not
then entered the heads of the officials.
One day a bright man had a bright
idea. Photography was expensive, but
clerk hire was more so. A little fig
uring and it was apparent that ma
terials for the photographic depart
ment would not cost near what the
salaries of the copyists amounted to.
The plan met with approval. Experi
ments were made that increased the
respect of the officers of the company
for the man who suggested the scheme.
Then two rooms were fitted up in the
building and the photographic depart
ment became an ins-titution.
Since then the work has been grad
ually extended' until now there is hard
ly any document that cannot be cop
ied by the camera. One beauty of the
innovation is that it takes but a com
parative minute. In actual computa
tion it may be more, but when com
pared with the time it would take a
clerk to make a copy by the old method
it doesn't seem the smallest part of a
minute.
The camera doesn't slip. It copie*
wba* ia before it with a fidelity tre
eqnaled. and sbotild It be that there
are erasures or substitutions so ef
fectively used as to deceive the eye,
tbe catnera tells of It, for the lena
ofthnes sees farther than the human
optic and tells secrets that otherwise
tvould not be discovered.
The files of the insurance companies
since photographic copies have been
used are considered absolutely accu
rate. The photograph is as good'if not
better evidence in a court of law than.
handwriting. Th refore, taking into
consideration all the reasons for its
approval, the officers pat the bright
man with the bright idea on the back
and tell him that he is a good fellow.
Possibly he got his salary raised.—

Oak Park grocery store and asked to
see the proprietor, who, seeing that
she was a stranger, at once prepared
to welcome her as a new suburban
ite and prospective customer. He took
off his apron, smoothed his tumbled
hair, and, seizing a pencil and order
pad, approached her with a grand busi
ness flourish.
"Anything we cau do for you to
day, madam? We have a fine supply
of fresh fruit and vegetables. Any
thing in canned goods?"
"Xo-o," said the woman, whose eye*
were taking in every detail of the
store and its contents. "I only want
ed to know if you sold sweet cider?"
"I'm very sorry," said the grocer,
"we always have it in its season, but
at present it is out of season. It might
be possible to find some. I will take
your order and try."
"Young man," said the woman, in
sepulchral tones, "you will never take
an order for sweet cider from me, nor
for anything else. lam a stranger
here, and am looking for a place to
buy my groceries where they don't
sell sweet cider. If I wanted to point
out a path to destruction I would
put up a sign 'Sweet Cider Sold Here.' "
Then walked out, while the
grocer gnawed his mustache and
looked at the blank pad with savage
intensity, when a happy thought oc
curred to him. He ran after the
woman.
"I merely wished to say, madam,
that you are right. I gave up selling
eorn and rye for similar reasons—but
perhaps you can guess?"
"Because you don't keep a feed
store?" suggested the woman, a note
of suspicion in her voice.
"No, madam, from higher motives.
Whisky is made from corn and rye."
"Humph! I don't mind if you take
my order for a barrel of flour and two
bushels of potatoes. You seem open
to conviction, and I guess I've struck
the right place."
As she sailed away the grocer
winked his left eye and said to his
clerk:

both ways. .limmy."~Chicago Times-
