To be sure, she looks a little white and pa'.lid, but she is vivacious And cheerful in his presence, and he does not realize that anything is wrong If he had but come home during the middle of the day. he would have found, instead of the cheerful wife, a weak, sickly, nervous invalid, with headache, pains in the back, "stitches" in the side, burning and drag ging down sensations and utter despond ency and melancholy. In almost every case of this kind the woman is really suffering from weaknesa and disease of the distinctly feminine or ganism. Frequently she does not realize her own condition. If she does, she shrinks from undergoing the " examina tions" and "local treatments" insisted upon by the average physician. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is the medi cine needed by women who suffer in this way. It acts directly on the sensitive or gans concerned and makes them strong, healthy and vigorous. It allays inflamma tion, heals ulceration, soothes pain and tones and builds up the shattered nerves. It transforms weak, sickly, nervous, de spondent invalids into happy, healthy wives and competent mothers. It fits for wife hood ana motherhood. It makes "exam inations" unnecessary. Honest dealers do not suggest substitutes for a little added profit to t«- realized thereon.

What One See» Who in Tills Visits the Most Historic Spot in Judea. Many a husband im agines that his wife il happy, J. James Tissot, the great French artist, who has made the remarkable Illustrations for the "Life of Christ," writes of "Christmas at Bethlehem " in Century: "The town of Bethlehem is shaped in the form of a crescent, descen<ling, terrace by terrace, the side of the hill on which it is built. On one of these terraces are grouped the massive build ings of tbe Latin and Greek converfts, between which stands the basilica, charming the eye by the peculiar grace of its lines. All the houses are dis tinctly Jewish in appearance, with flat roofs capped by cupolas, and many of them have pointed archways which offer pleasant places for repose in hours of sun or shade. "This creeping of the houses down into the very gardens of the valley heightens wonderfully the beauty of the landscape; while in the background, toward the Dead sea, the mountains of Moab tower majestically above the gen tle undulations of hill and vale. Every feature of this never-to-be-forgotten scene is full of sacred significance. In front of the city you are shown the field where Ruth and Boaz met, and near by is the spot where the shepherds were told of our Saviour's birth. At a point still nearer the crescent-shaped city is the well from which David so desired drink after doing battle. A little far ther on, and quite by itself, is the tomb of Rachel, beyond which are other battle fields mentioned in the Bible.' SQUAW MEN OUSTED The Government DI»po«»e»»e« 20,000 Families In the Indian Territory. In 1895, Henry L. Dawes, for many years one of the United States senators from Massachusetts, was appointed chairman of a commission created by congress to endeavor to secure from the five civilized tribes of Indians, in Indian territory, their voluntary assent to the abandonment of tribal relations. After the commission found that local causes had defeated its object, congress authorized it to make a census of the tribes, ascertain who were and who were not citizens, and suggest a plan for the division of the lands of the Indians among those who were found to be citi zens. Under the last authority the commis sion has issued orders that all inter married white men were intruders and would have to leave the territory. This means that fully 20,000 white, or "squaw," men who have married into these tribes must leave their families, possessions and business interests, and »eek homes elsewhere. Tribal custom, if not law, has recog nized the white man who married an In dian woman as an equal Indian citizen, and, hence, eligible to acquire property. These "squaw men" have settled the greater part of the best lands, are fa thers of nearly 50,000 half-blood chil dren, and now declare they will not sur jender their acquired rights. TESTING THE QUALITY OF AIR. An Idea a» to It* Pnrlty May lie De rived by l'*lnn Smoke or Peppermint. Once a year it> quite often enough to have the plumbing tested for the escape of sewer gas. There are two methods of doing this—the peppermint test and smoke test. The latter, says a Chicago exchange, is regarded as the most ab solute, though both are used. When such a test is made the regular escapes for the water are plugged up and smoke is pumped into the pipes from the roof. For this purpose there is a special ma chine which combines a furnace and a force pump. In the little furnace are put old rags or discarded Christmas trees, or anything which will make a fine smudge. As soon as these are in good smoking condition the smudge is forced down into the pipe and a tour of examination is made. If the smoke escapes at any point it can be detected at once. The peppermint tost is made from the roof alio. The escapes are plumped up and then about a pint of peppermint oil is poured in the roof pipe, followed by a bucket of hot water. The odor of the peppermint is so penetrating that jt will quickly escape at any defective spot. But the man who handles the peppermint has to stay on the roof un til the examination is complete or the whole house will be permeated with the odor. A REAL FORTRESS. The HuuUn Monuntrry of SuloveHk, In A.rchunifi-1, la Well Protected. The monastery of Solovets'k, in Arch* angel, Russia, is inclosed on every side by a wall of granite bowlders, measur ing nearly a mile in circumference, and is the best protected in the world. The monastery itself is very strongly forti fied, being supported by round and square towers about 30 feet in height with walls 20 feet in thickness. The monastery consists in reality of six ehurches, which are completely tilled with statues of all kinds and precious stones. Upon the walls and the towers surrounding these churches are mount ed huge guns, which in the time of the Crimean war were directed against th>* British White sen squadron. The monks ■who inhabited the monastery at that time marched in procession on the granite walls while the shells were fly ing over their head*, to prove how little they feared the attack of the British fleet. Ten thousand pilgrims come an nually to Solovetsk from all parts of Russia to view the churches' J.nd the r?'ics. They are conveyed in steamer* commanded and manned solely l»J monks.

Written to the l»re»ldrnt Secured Her Hrother's Discharge fro 111 the Arnay. In the little village of Salem, in south :rn Illinois, lives, in a small cottage, a poor family consisting of "Billie" and Sevilla Holmes, the parents of two sons, 'Billie," Jr., and Jacob R., also one laughter, Blanch, an interesting little brown-eyed maiden of 12 years the heroine of this narrative. The mother has been in delicate health. In June last the younger son enlisted as a pri vate in the Nineteenth regiment. The invalid mother yearned for her boy, the little sister wanted her brother, and all grieved to see the mother rapidly fail ing in health. With the faith of a trusts ful child, the little girl wrote to Presi dent McKinley: "Please discharge my brother Jake at once; my mamma is sick and will never get well if he does not come home." In a few days came a brief response from the executive man sion to the effect that her request would be granted. Blanch, thinking this all the permission necessary for the re lease of any soldier, mailed it atonce to her brother, in camp near Ponce, Porto Rico. Long before that message reached its destination Jake was on his way home. September 16, A. D. 1898, will be a red letter day in his life. While with a comrade guarding Span ish prisoners and carving from a gourd a jewel box for his little sister, the voice of Sergt. Laufer- was heard call ing: "Jake, oh, Jake! Come here, quick; turn in your equipment and get off this island. You're going home." The mystery was explained when Lieut. Howard gave him his honorable dis charge. But not until Jake's arrival home, September 28, did he know the part his little sister had in obtaining it from our kind-hearted president CALM ADVICE IN RAINSTORM The Tail Man Tell* the Little One W ho Run* Into Hint to Hold His Head l"p. It was the day that it rained so hard and snowed a little to help out, the day that the big steamer foundered oppo site the Auditorium and half a dozen other vessels were in distress along the lake shore. The wind and rain swept through the streets in blinding gusts and every pedestrian plowed along with head bent to escape the wind, umbrella firmly clutched to avoid its destruction and deep disgust for everybody and everything written on his averted coun tenance, says the Chicago Chronicle. One little man was wrestling with wind and weather in a desperate sort of way as he forced his course along Fifth avenue, nis head was down so low that he could see nothing except the paving blocks, and still the shifting wind carried the rain into his face at times. At Washington street he es sayed to cross the street, and in doing so'ran directly into a tall man who was trying to get ulor.g with his head in the air. The tall man doubled up for an in stant, but he did not get mad. Instead of saying harsh and profane things to the man who had thus buffeted him he said: "Hold your head up." Then he strode The man who received this piece of advice did not for a moment or two realize what had been said, ne stood still, and when it dawned upon him that a perfect stranger had volunteered a rule of conduct to be followed on a stormy day he turned with a frown and a retort on his Hps. Hut the tall man was far away and the little fellow bowed liis head nnd once more plunged into the storm PUDDING MADE OF CEMENT The Mistake of an Engllah Company Cook Deprived the Soldiers of Their Desert. Some time ago, writes a volunteer in the London Telegraph, 1 spent a week with a garrison battery in a south coast fort. On the last day the sergeants sat down to an exceptionally fine dinner, the crowning glory of which was a large plum pudding. I had made the pudding two days before, hail it boiled, and now, reheated, it made its appear ance, amid the welcome shouts of my brother warriors, and I naturally felt a bit proud of it, for I hadn't been a ship's cool: for nothing. "Seems mighty hard," remarked the sergeant major, as he vainly tried to stick his fork into it. "Haveyou boiled us a cannon ball, Browney?" "Or Ihe regimental football?" asked another. "Where t'id you get the flour from?" questioned Sergt. Smith. "Where from?" I retorted. "From store No. 5, of course." "The deuce you did!" roared the quartermaster sergeant. "Then, hang ! you, you've made the pudding with Portland cement." And so it proved. That pudding is now preserved in the battery museum Some 1011 ullali Einlnranli. Up till now, if the inhabitant oi a Norfolk village emigrates, it is gen erally to America, says a writer in Longman's Magazine, and very often he does not like America when he gets there. I remember a blacksmith with whom I was well acquainted going there, but in a couple of years or so he was to be seen working at the old forge in bis native village. I asked him why he had come back, and he told me that he earned plenty of money out ".ere, but he "didn't like it." When 1 was in New York a tailor came to see me who hail iM'en an apprentice here in Bungay. He told ine the same story. Plenty of money, especially at times, but he "meant to get liaok as soon as he could.' Also 1 had a conversation with an Eng lish coachman whose tale was much the same. His wages were large, but "there weien't no society for such as him;" in the states they were all "gi "Is or niggers." A in Clnm-li. She sat on the sliding cushion The dear, wee woman of four; Her feet, in their shining slippers, Hung dangling over the floor. She meant to he good, she had promised, And so with her big brown eyes. She stared at the meeting house win dows And counted the crawling Hies. She looked far nil at the preacher, But she thought of the honey bees Droning away at the blossoms That whitened the cherry trees. She thought of a broken basket Where, curled in a dusky heap, Three sleek, round"puppies with fringy ears Lay snnKKled and fast asleep. Such soft, warm bodies to cuddle. Such queer little hearts to beat. Such, swift, round tongues to kiss. Such sprawling, cushion feet; She could feel in her clasping lingers The touch of the satiny skin. And a cold, wet nose exploring The dimples under her chin. Then a sudden ripple of laughter Ran over the parted lips Ho quick that she could not catch it With her rosy finger tips. The people whispered, "Bless the child," As each one waked from a nap. But the dear, wee woman hid her face For shame in her mother's lap. Br. Bull's Cough Syrup has been im aited.

The Snlns—Area. 1,000 sqnare miles; the Carolines, 1,900 square miles, and Guam, in the Ladrones. 500 sqnare miles. The population of these islands is mostly barbarous. The aggregate population of the is lands annexed is about 10.000,000. This annexation business is a new de parture for the United States, and is a reversal of onr previous policy. But as the most enlightened, justice and liber ty loving people on earth, why should we not extend the blessings of consti tutional freedom to those people? Our new possessions may cause us consid erable annoyance and give us some new and great problems to solve. But that is what we are here for. True great ness does not shut itself up in the oys ter shell of its own selfishness and refuse to be bothered with inferior peoples, but enters actively and energetically into the great work of extending the boundaries of civilization and increasing human happiness throughout the world The flag of freedom floats over the crude inhabitants of these islands be cause the Infinite Ruler of the Universe would have it so. It is destiny. Is there not wisdom, justice and mercy in it beyond human understanding? Why should anybody whine and lament be cause the yoke of the most tyrannical, bigoted nation on earth has been lifted from the backs of nearly ten millions of souls and their destines linked with the most liberal and enlightened nation on earthV Why should we weep because ten million people have turned their faces to the dawn. —Punxsutawney Spirit.

Is father's eyesight growing dim, His form a little lower? Is mother's hair a little gray. Her step a little slower? Is life's hill growing liard to climb?

There's nothing makes a face so young, As Joy, youth's fairest token; And nothing makes a face grow old Like hearts that have been bi :eu. Take heed lest deeds of thine sli. aid muks Thy mother be a weeper; Stump peace upon a father's brow. Don't make the wrinkles dcepet. In doubtful pathways do not go. Be tempted not to wander; Grieve not the hearts that love you so. Hut make their love grow fonder. Much have thy parents borne for thee. Be now their tender keeper; And let them lean upon thy love, Don't make the wrinkles deeper. Be lavish with thy loving deeds. Be patient, true and tender; And make the path that ageward leads Aglow with earthly splendor. Bome day. thy dear ones, strleken low.
