The woman
who suffers from weakne-s and disease of

realizes it or not, is being slowly but surely
tortured to death She suffers almost con-
with sick headache She has pains
in the back, what she calls "stitches " in the
side and 'hootinjr pains everywhere. She
experiences burning and dragging down
sensations She becomes weak, nervous
and despondent. She neglects her home,
and is petulant with her husband. If she
consults the average physician there is not
one chance in ten that he will hit upon the
real cause of her trouble. He will attribute
her bad feelings to stomach, liver, heart or
nervous trouble A woman in this condi
tion should consult some eminent and skill
ful specialist who has had a wide experi
ence. Dr R V Pierce, for thirty years
chief eon-ultine physician to the Invalids'
Hotel and Surgical Institute, at Buffalo,
N. Y., ha= with the assistance of a staff of
able physician- prescribed for many thou
sands of women. He has invented a won
derful medicine for ailing women, known
as Dr Pierce'« Favorite Prescription It
has ftood the test for thirty years It acts
directly on the delicate and important or
gans concerned in wifehood and mother
hood. making them strong and well. It
allays inflammation, heals ulceration,
soothes pain and tones and builds up the

en into healthy, happy wives and mothers.

THE CITIZEN.
LIFE AND HEALTH-
It Beat Enjoyed IVhen One Indulges
In Plen»«nt Social Infer
conrie.
Born with the inherent desire for ,
companionship with his kind, it is nat- I
ural and normal that man should both
seek and have it. When a man beg-ir.s .
to shun society, and to show a desire
to shut himself apart from others,
then he is departing.from the natural
order of things, and shows that he is
not in a healthy physical or moral .
state. Of course the taste for society ;
varies greatly with many individuals.
Some are shy and awkward in the ,
presence of others: but that does not
prevent them from wishing to have
friends and to be with certain com- j
panions, which are as necessary to
them as daily meat and drink. The
recluse is an extremist, to put it mild
ly, whose mind has become warped
bv circumstances. He is unjust to him
self, and deprives himself of the means
of his own healthy living and thinking.
One does not set out deliberately to
isolate himself from society. For those
who are not mentally unbalanced the
withdrawal from society is a gradual
1 process, which goes on until the so
' cial hermit has been evolved. Watch
yourself for this state, and if you are
i tending toward it, stop and consider
j before the relapse is complete. "Why
i should one bother one's self about that
for which one cares nothing?" you will
" ask, with an air of superiority. As the
' fresh pure air is necessary to the prop
! er expansion of the lungs, as good food
! is essential to the maintenance of the
I bodily machinery, as exercise is de
! manded for the development and per-
I fection of the muscles, so is compan
' ionship and social intercourse impera
! tive to the members of the human race.
| to keep the physical, mental and moral
balance healthy and true. That there
should be a continual striving to make
this society of the best goes without
saying.
Equally abnormal as a type is the so
ciety butterfly. Excess in any direc
tion is to be greatly deplored. What
gluttony is to eating, what inordinate
and insensate over-exercise means to
the athlete, such is the going and going
incessantly, merely for the sake of go
ing, to the giddy society-seeker. Har

COAL GAS AND HOUSE PLANTS.
The lii-Kt I'larf to Keep Plant* In (Uf
Farm Ifonse I« In th«?
Kitchen.
Many people who wish to keep flow
ers where they think ornament is most
needed place them in the parlor or
sitting-room where a coal fire is burn
ing. Then they wonder why it is that
they have no luck with flowers. The
leaves drop off an 1 the plants soon be
come a mass of naked,or rather ragged,
stems, for so long as the plant lives it
must keep, during warm weather,
enough leaves to absorb oxygen dur
ing the daytime, which the plant gives
off afterwards, it takes also the
minute portion of carbonic acid gas
which is in. all pure air, but if it gets
too much of carbonic acid gas, as it is
fture to do in a room where a coal stove
is burning, the plant suffers much as a
living animal might under the same cir
cumstanced.
On the farm the best place to keep
house plants is in the kitchen, where
a wood fire usually burns, and where
all day the steam from boiling water
in a teakettle or from the cooking of
vegetables is always pouring into the
room. The kitchen is in the farm
house the principal living room, and
flowers om rr«ore needed there than in
any other in the house. There is noth
ing so good for house plant* as moist,
warm air. It prevents the dust which
would cover their leaves in a dry at
mosphere, and if the plants can be ex
posed to sunlight near a south win
dow during the day, they will grow as
vigorously as they did out of doors in
summer, but the plant that has pro
duced abundant flowers in winter
should not be used 1 for winter flower
ing, nor vice versa. All the year growth
exhauHts them and they need a rest.
Even in Florida, In localities whero it
never freeze*, n»o»tkindsol plant-stake
a rest and almost cease to grow during
the rruonth when the days are shorter. —

If a new' house is to be furnished, or j
an old one refurnished, and the house
mother is thinking of buying an ingrain
.carpet or making a carpet for the sleep
ing room, here is a bit of advice —don't.
A handsome carpet is a thing of beau- j
ty in it» place, but its place is not in t tie
farmhouse we are furnishing. The j
eleeping-ro<im should be cool in sum
mer, airy always and easy to keep so, as
free from dust as possible, and restful
to look at. It can be all of these if a lit- |
tie thought be judiciously mixed with
the planning of it. One very pleasant
room f have in mind is in the home of a
"bachelor man." The floor is bare of
covering with the exception of two
home-made rugs; the hard pine narrow
board floor has been oiJed until it has
acquired a rich brown lint; the bed,
dresser and wnshsfand axe of walnut;
a divan covered with cotton drapery of
a harmonizing color, an axni-chair and
an old-fashioned roeki r complete the
furnishing. A few good pictures are on
the walls. It is always the picture of
neatness, and is easily kcjrt so. prol>-
ably beoause of the simple* arrange
ment of its furniture. The langc ward

inspection, and could give a lesson in
neatness to nnydki' Mrs. .John li.

LAST OF THE BLOCKADE.
Tbe l'inal Shot of the I nited State*
GDllboat Scorpion Was
a Blank.
Evening colors were sounding on the
vessels of the fleet in Guantanamo bay
and the anchor lights were being sent
aloft when the ever-restless Scorpion
weighed anchor and started on duty for
Santiago.
Down through the long line of battle-
I ships and cruisers, tugs and yachts, col- j
liers and schooners, she steamed, and j
rounding the shoals of Sotarenta poii.t ,
stood west-southwest along the coast. ;
The last tints of a glorious Cuban j
sunset were gradually deepening into !
shade when the white sides of a st rang*e >
vessel were discerned far away on the i
port bow. Standing rapidly to the east- j
ward, she was about ten miles off !
shore. What was she?
In a moment the Scorpion changed
course and headed for her.
Darkness came on, and the stran
ger's lights alone were visible. On our
quarter, miles away,
twinkled faintly as the flagship sig
naled to the fleet at anchor.
"We are not gaining." sa;d the com
manding officer.
"She must be a swift one," thought
we, "to show her heels to the Scor
pion."
"Put on the blowers," was the order,
and faster still we sped under tbe
forced air impetus.
Oh. the language that was coming up
tbe ventilators from the tireroom be
low!
"Now we are catching her!" sang ou;
the oracle to the men at the furnaces.
"Fire the blank charge!" came from
the bridge. One was always ready
with us.
Bang! went the six-pounder, and at
once the stranger stopped her engines
a few hundred \ards ahead.
Half speed, our engine telegraphs,
and just abreast of the Scorpion was
dead in the water.
"What vessel is that?" megaphoned
our captain.
And back across the dark space came
the answer, in clear tones: "His impe
rial majesty's cruiser Geier!"
"All right," said the Scorpion. "Good
night!" and we headed away for the
westward.
So the last shot was a blank shot. The
next morning in Santiago harbor the
news of peace reached us. On August
13 it was.
Now The Geier was a modern 1,800-ton
cruiser, with plenty of speed and a main
battery of eight 4.1 guns, rapid fire, and
no end of machine guns and a protect
ive deck to boot.
Of course, while the Scorpion's bat
tery is perfect in its way and in its own
sphere, perhaps it was better, after ail,
that the stranger proved a friend.
liut the philosopher down forward
is not yet appeased, for, saye he, "she

nohow !" —N. T. Cluverius, in Harper s

HOW HERMITS PROSPER.
The .Number llna Increased Knur.
111 ou ft I.v, for Iliiftlnoftft Im
Profitable.
So-called "hermits" have of lata' years
increased in numbers at a most as
tounding rate'in connection with show
places, and particularly as regards
those of the latter affected by trippers,
and the writer can state, from absolute
inquiry and knowledge, that the hermit
business is really a paying one.
Some years ago the supposed hermits
increased so rapidly near most of the
Lancashire and Yorkshire show places
that a great north-country paper de
puted the writer to find out the real
and actual history of these men who,
living in squalid dens and most pictur
esquely got up, posed as lovelorn be
ings who preferred to live apart from
their fellows.
Each separate inquiry revealed abso
lutely and beyond all possibility of
mistake that these men were either
rank impostors who closed their her
mitages with the ending of each sea
son and then lived riotously for the
whole, winter in large towns, or that
they were veritable lunatics who'verc
or.ly mentally capable of living as mere
animals unless looked after. No fewer
than three of the latter class were
taken care of by the local authorities in
consequence of my investigations.
Perhaps thr most picturesque and
artful of all the impostors, a man who
prelended to rave like a wild man mid
to tear to pieces f»>od that was thrown
to him, confessed in a hurst of alcoholic
confidence that he cleared fi\< pouitds
a week in the season and never did a
stroke of work all the winter. He of
fered to write the '"Confessions of a
Hermit" for a ten-pound note.—London
News.

The taste for reading has grown so
rapidly iu Japan that, thanks to good
translations, very many of tht best
European authors are nmv widely
r l<nov\n and appreciated. Such work'
as "Les Miserable*," "Willielm Mels
ter." "I'endennil," and si vera! of lliek
ens* works have a very extensive cir
dilation. Oil the olhir hand, naliv -
romances have a most restricted circu
lation among the better educated The
Japanese novelist, whose gains are of
the smallest, seems' to write entirely
for the people, and his productions are
n- full of en-atioi and horror as the
most exacting devourer of "penny
bloods" could desire. Hence, the edu
cated unlive is ashamed to be discov
ered perusing them. The chief reviews
publish able literary and scientific es
