Two hearts can make a love affair, but it takes three, at least, to make a home, and one of them must be that of a baby. The young married ci uples that start out :n life with the idea that children arc nuisances, : and (hat they do not want and will not have them, are the kind that you read abotit every day in the newspapers—in the divorce column A home without children is not a home. God and Nature never in tended that there should be a place called home that did not resound with the patter of childish footsteps There are tens of thousands of homes j that are childless because of the ill-health of the wife and would-be mother. There are ten 9 of thousand* of other homes child less because the little ones have died al- ; most as soon as they were born. In both cases Dr. pierce s Favorite Prescription is a sovereign remedy. It acts directly on the delicate and hnportant organs that make wifehood and motherhood possible. It makes them well, strong, vigorous virile, and elastic. It does away with the dangers of maternity. It banishes the- usual dis- j comforts of the expectant period and makes baby's advent easy and almost pain- j less. It insures the little new comer's i health and an ample supply of nourish ment The prospective mother prepares herself for maternity by taking the ' Fa vorite Prescription " and gives her child a fair start in life by giving it a strong and well de\-elopcd body. Thousands of homes that were childless, to-day echo with babies' laughter, and bless this great medi cine Thousands of women who were weak, nervous, despondent invalids, are to-day happy, healthy wives and mothers because of this mediicine.

Before he became a benedict, Dom Carlos was passionately fond of the ex ! citement of the bull ring, which he | would enter incognito, not as a specta tor, but to take an active part in the dangerous game. Now, in the Portu guese method of bullfighting neither j bulls nor horses are killed, and to pre | vent the posibility of a bull goring a horse which he may happen to corner. ; his horns are covered with padded : guards. One element of danger which | is present in the Spanish method is ' thus removed from the Portuguese rings; though even without this partic ' Ular peril there are plenty of short : cuts to the other world left open to the i daring. Xow, Dom Carlos is nothing ' if not brave, so when one of the court j beauties rallied him on taking the poor animal at a disadvantage, and thought -1 lessly dared him to face a bull with sharp, unguarded horns, the king gal < l&ntly replied that he would do so at : the next bull fight, and'invited the I rcofft-r to witness his or the bull's tri ! umph from the royal box. Now, the j regulations of the ring strictly enjoin j that no bull is to be fought in Portugal 14 with points unbated;" but, In face of a royal wish, regulations have a way of becoming elastic. Orders were given, therefore, that a bull was to be ad mitted to the arena in full, untram melled possession of all his natural weapons, offensive and defensive. Dom Carlos took his stand before the swing ing- doors and waited with the frilled darts reftdv in his hand for the bull to charge. There was a bellow and a scurry, and then & tornado of quiver ing brown limbs and glancing horns made for the place where the present king of Portugal was standing. Hut a bull rarely charges home at the first attempt, and this one did ats others do. It stopped, snorted angrily and threw up the sand with its front hoofs. The king waved his arms, made n feint to lure it on, and then, as it charged again, sprang to one side to avoid it; but in the very act of his spring slipped on a wet place left by the watering hose —and fell! The whole audience rose with a simultane ous cry of horror, for though Dom Car los, of course, fought incognito, every one knew who the too bold bandeTlllero was. Another fighter waved his red capa in the bull's face; the animal's at tention was diverted for a second, and the king rose. The bull saw the move ment, and taking no further notice of the enticingly waved cape made once more for liis first adversary. It was run, king, run bull to the barriers, and, fortunately for his country, the king won —by inches. As his majesty's neels cleared the timbers of the barricade the bull's horns knocked splinters out of the woodwork a few Inches below. "Yes," concluded Dom Carlos, with a smile, "I fancy L did those 25 yards or so in very good time." And then, with a downward glance of self-criticism, he added, "I don't think I should stand much of a chance if I had to do the same thing now. Do you?" I looked at the Norfolk jacket clad figure of his majesty, and I felt that even to gratify a king I could not, honestly say "'yes.' —Caesell's Magazine. TRADE IN SMALL THINGS. Some Little Artli'lm Tlint Make » I.arice Shotting In the Com •neree of the World. One would thick that almost any country could raise all the eggs its peo ple consume. Some of the largest coun tries, however, import an enormous number of <-ggs. It takes about a bil lion and a half of eggs every year to supply the demand in Oreat Britain and Ireland, besides all the eggs that tut' produced there. Forty per cent i.t ihc eggs consumed in the United Kingdom are brought from 20 foreign lands, in cluding several of the British colonies. Germany comes next to (ireal Brit ain as the largest consumer of in Europe. Her imports are a little over a billion and a half a year, and she Is obliged to pay from $10,000,000 to sl'J,- 000,000 a year for the eggs she buys fiorn other countries. The reason why Germany does not produce enough eggs for her own consumption is that the dampness of the country causes large mortality among chickens, and, be sides, large districts are occupied by extensive estates, where the peasontrj live in villages, which prevents them from keeping a large number of hens. Japan is now using a great many eggs, though very few are produced in the country. As they are very much cheaper in China, the eggs Japan uses are jilmost all imported from that coun try. Russia is the largest exporter of eggs. The number sent from tiiat country in 18' JO wus 1,475,000,000, of which 289,- 000,000 were shipped to the United Kingdom. The manufacture of matolies in Ger many has become so important an in dustry that thu factories are now using every year about 5,500,000 cubic feet of asj>en wood, of which about three-fifths is imported from Russia. Bavaria alone has 2G lead-pencil fac tories, which employ from 9,000 to 10,- 000 workmen and prod ace on an aver age 4,.'120,000 lead-pencils and crayons each week. It is a curious fact that the use of German lead-pencils in all the public offices and schools of France is forbidden by law.—N. Y. Sun. II in Inn it l.tiililnliiu-riuNll.

FACTS ABOUT SAMOA- Germany Wauts to Kale the Little Group, Though Her Trade There l» Ver>- Small. The Germans want the ruling hand in Samoa. They cannot claim this on the strength of their superiority in trade with the islands, for in this respect they fall far below the United States, Great Britain and Australasia. In 1697 the islands imported $53,415 worth of goods from the United States. $13,322 irom Great Britain and only $5,562 from Germany. The Germans, how ever, prepare and export a great deal of copra, and they own most of the land that foreigners hold in the islands. Of the 135,000 acres, about one-sixth of the area of the group owned by foreigners, at least 85,000 acres, including the best land in the islands, is owned by the Germans. This landed estate was se cured by the original German trading firm, and its successors have never parted with an acre of it. The great drawback of Samoa is that it is so far from markets. Its best products are tropical fruits, which are abundantly produced, but distance from markets prevents exportation. California is 15 days by steam, and freight rates are prohibitive. Besides California is itself a fruit country. New Zealand is five days distant, but its whole population is not much more than that of Baltimore. Sydney is eight days away by steam, but Aus tralia and New Zealand have islands nearer them, notably Fiji, which grow all the tropical fruits they want. So no fruit is shipped from Apia, the only port of the islands. In 188S the Ceylon coffee disease first appeared on the plantations of Samoa and in u short time put an end to coffee production in that group. No attempt nas since been made to raise coffee. Practically the whole business of Sa moa is based to-day upon the cocoanut, and the export of copra, the dried meat of the cocoanut represents nearly all the exports of the islands. In 1897, nearly 11,000,000 pounds of copra, the native product, were exported In addi tion to the larjre quantity rained on the German plantations. But even In her copra Samoa is not particularly fortu nate. Some 15 years ago there was an enormous deihand for copra, with the result that the'eoeoanut tree wasplant ed on the coasts of every sea where it would grow. A few years later the markets were glutted with copra, prices fell about one-half, and the days of the prosperity of that trade have not since returned. What with her political troubles and the causes that liave con spired to keep her commerce small, Sa moa has not bad a very prosperous his tory. The time is coining, however, when she will see In tter days. The re sources of the group, which, all told, is about as large as Rhode Island, have yet scarcely been touched. In fact, nobody lives more than three or four miles from the sea and the inner parts of the islands have not been utilized.— X. V. Sun. I'raotleal Side of (lie French. We may say what we like about the French being led away by sentiment, but in some respects they are a severely practical people. The Gallic housewife will mtrtce a pound of shin beef go far ther than any other woman in Europe. Their capacity, indeed, for making the best of unlikely materials is beyond rival. Take, for instance, the Eiffel tower, which is somewhat of a white elephant when there are noexhibitlons going on. But French wit has been equal to finding a use even for that, and a very ingenious use, too. The po lice authorities have stationed watch men upon its summit to take note of the establishments which fall to con sume their own smoke. The idea Is ex cellent, and we commend the notion to the county council and the city cor poration.

Last week, late in the afternoon, a case was called by Judge Sutherland in the County Court. "I would like to ask. your Honor, that this case go over un til to-ruorrow," said one of the attor neys. •'On what ground," said the Judge. "Too tired?" 'Yes, your Honor. I have been arguing a case all day in Part 11, and I am really too fatigued to go on with this trial." "Very well, let the case go oyer. Call the next case." The next case was called and another attorney arose: "Maj* it please your Honor, I would like to ask that this case go over." •'For what reason?" ' I am too tired..' "You, too? What makes you tired';" "I have been listening all day to ray learned friend in Part 11." —Rochester Herald There are a good many people who never stop to think how it is that the little jinglet in sleighbells gets in its place." remarked the thoughtful man to a reporter of the Rochester Post-Ex press. "We hear the merry chimes of the bells, but never give the matter another thought. The process is really a very interesting one. The making of sleigh bells is quite an art. The little iron ball is too big to be put in through the holes in the bells, and yet it is in side How did it get there'* The little iron ball is called the jinglet. When you shake the sleighbell it jingles. In making the bell the jinglet is put inside a little ball of mud, just the shape of the inside of the bell. Then a mould is made, just the shape of the outside of the bell. This mud ball with the jing let inside is placed in the mould of the outside, and the metal is poured in, which tills up the space between the ball and the mould. When the mould is taken off you see a sleigh bell, but it will not ring, as it is full cf dirt. The hot metal that the bell is made of dries the dirt so that it can be shaken out. After the dirt is all shaken out of the holes in the bell, the little iron jinglet will still be in the bell and will ring. It took a good many years to think out how to make a sleighbell." Maxim —Only the good die young' yon know. Brattle —Oh. no! Only the young die good. A Hottentot widow marrying again has to cut off the joint of a finger, which she gives to her new husband. Each time she becomes a widow and marries agoin sbp has to sacrifice one finger joint. People in yarions sections of the country have been swindled by adver tisements which promised to send ten yards of silk for one dollar. When the dollar was sent and the silk came it was found to be silk thread. It will not be long until everything in the United States is controlled by a "Trust" except the gospel. As far as known, ministers have not yet contem plated the formation of a syndicate, but there's no telling how soon this will happen. "And so yon are a member of that deadlocked Legislature?
