AfraHk The guests are gone the smile slips from the face of the hostess and she gives up to the pain which racks her body. Many a woman entertains and wears a smile while her back aches and her nerves quiver with pain. Surely any medicine which offers relief to women would be worth a trial under such conditions. But when the woman's medicine, Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, is offered with the proof of efficacy in thousands of well attested cures, what excuse can then be offered for suffering longer? Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription makes weak women strong and sick women well. It dries enfeeblinsr drains, heals inflammation and ulceration and cures female weakness. "It U with the gre«te«t pleasure X write you the benefit my mother has received from your 'Favorite Prescription' and 'Golden Medical Discovery,'» says Miss Carrie Johnson, of I,owes ville, Amherst Co., Va.

So with many eyes, "My face is my fortune" said the pretty maid in the old English Ballad. She had proper appre ciation of the value of a fair face in the matrimonial market. Eyes make or marr many a face. A pair of weak red, in flamed or twitching eyes will spoil all beauty. Properly adjusted glasses will cure most of the troubles by removing the caupe, but don't get the idea that anybody and everybody c;in do the proper adjusting.

Old Abe'a .\arratlve About How the lint Bottomed Bout Went ARronml mid Ifutv She Got Safely Back Into the Ohio River. On one occasion a little drummer boy, securing leave of absence, accom panied a sergeant to a public levee that "Old Abe" was holding at the White . House. They went early, and when President Lincoln appeared and the handshaking began they were not long in reaching him. The tall man, almost a giant In phys ical proportions, looked down with an amused smile at the tiny drummer boy, who appeared hardly 10 years of age. Grasping the little fellow's right hand, the president suddenly reached out his j left, swung the boy off his feet and set him gently down on a small table beside him. "Aha, my little soldier," he said, laughing, "you shall help 'Uncle Abe' review this line today, and if your su perior officer objects, why, I'll prolong your leave of absence!" Lincoln asked the boy his age, place of residence, regiment and where he was on duty. Then, as some of the more Important officers of the army or navy, members of congress or of the executive departments chanced to pass in the line, the president would gravely Introduce his young assistant, with whom they were required to shake hands as well as with himself. When the reception vras over, resi dent Lincoln took the boy into his pri vate apartments and Introduced him to Mrs. Lincoln. After entertaining him at luncheon he dismissed him with a brief note to the commanding officer of the hospital where he was then sta tioned telling why the boy's leave of abeenoe had been extended. Lincoln's geniality and willingness at all times to hear or to tell a good story were conspicuous traits, not always agreeable to some of his able but wor ried and irritable advisers. On one occasion a sergeant had a squad of men at work unloading sup plies from an Ohio river steamboat that in some mysterious manner had made its way from the interior to the coast waters of Virginia. It was a flat bottomed boat, drawing not more than three feet of water when loaded and hardly dampening Its plank bottom when light. It was propelled by a horizontal stern wheel, driven by a small upright engine. Boats of that type were common on the Ohio, which runs almost dry at some seasons. They were known as "Pittsburgers" and wero fabled to navigate freely In a heavy dew. The sergeant's men were hard at work carrying rations ashore from this craft when suddenly they stopped and sent up a lusty cheer. A little tuglike steamer had pulled up alongside, and from It stepped a tall, awkward man dressed In rusty black and wearing a napless Bilk hat. The sergeant recog nized the president and saluted. "Your boat Is well named, sergeant," said the latter gravely. The soldier was puzzled. He did not know that the steamer had a name and said so. The president took-him by the arm and led him back on the tug. There the stern of the "Plttsburger" loomed above them, and on Its dirty white sur face In tarnished gilt letters a yard long appeared the single word. Mist. "Yes," said Lincoln, "it's very well named indeed, sergeant All those boats need Is a mist, and they'll run anywhere. "Years ago," he continued, "I was at tending court !n Cairo, Ills., when the Ohio was so low that all the water there was between its banks was what had spilled over from the Mississippi. Those 'Pittsburgers' were passing and repassing all the time. One night there came up a little shower that raised the level maybe a half Inch. One of 'em got out of the channel, slid ashore and grounded In the mud right beside the courthouse. "It was thero the next morning, and I remarked to a brother attorney that that boat was aground to stay. He was from 'Egypt' and knew more about 'Pittsburgers' than I did. He merely smiled and said, 'You wait and see.' "There came on another shower that afternoon. I heard an engine puffing and looked out of the courthouse win dow. Maybe you'll think I'm exagger ating, but there was that boot steam ing down the road toward the river, and In two minutes she wos back In the Ohio, Just as the shower was over. "1 expressed my surprise to the judge, but he said that was nothing. If the shower hadn't come up In time, the captain would simply have hired a boy with a sprinkling pot to go ahead. They're great boats, sergeant. Likely as not this one got here by coming across country." President Lincoln repeated this ex travagant story without the ghost of a imlle. During Its recital Secretary Stanton and Generals Halleck and Sherman—the last named having run up the day before from his march through the Carolinas—who were with the party, had approached the presi dent. General Sherman smiled broadly, but Stanton looked annoyed. The pres ident caught his glance and, with a wink at the others, said, "But maybe you've heard this before, Stanton." "Very likely 1 have," the secretary grimly responded, "but I would sug gest, Mr. President, that General Grant Is awaiting us." The gleam of amusement left the kindly man's eyes. He gravely turned and shook hands with the sergeant and then strode after his companions as they made their way ashore.—Roe L. Hendrlck In Youth's Companion.

When on the evening of W fines day Bept. i. the Pittsburg Exposition opens fur their Kenton of 1901, thero will ho general wonderment among the thouEands of vlsltois at the sur prising changes wrought since It 1 closed its doors last October. It will b* remembered that in March of this ytar fir* completely de stroyed th< bij main building w'.« Sousa Uiad will be the opening attraction foi what promisee to be a season of un approached brilliancy In every way. Following this organization will come Walter Damrosch and his New York Symphony orchestra. Third on tha list is the Royal Italian IJanda Rossa, with the noted Etigenlo Sorrentlno as conductor, while closing the season will come Etnil Paur, whose ac complishment* as director of the hiph class Philharmonic orchestra created genuine sensations in New York all last winter. Naturally much Interest at'aches to the character of the exhibits. As the fire in March destroyed every vestige of those stored la the main building, together with the booths sheltering ♦hem, there will be only new ones this yfar. A glance at the drawings for some of the booths now tinder con- Ftruc.tion has convinced the manag? ment that for artistic beauty and cost liness they will outstrip by far any thing ever displayed at the Point Show. In brief, then, when the doors of fhe rejuvenated Pittsburg Exposition swing open on Sept 4, there will hava been expended In the Interest of its patrons a hnlf million dollars In new buildings, the four finest musical or ganizations obtainable In the United States will hive been encaged «t enormous cost, and e iine of exhibits entirely new will have been arrnged.

They come and go mysteriously, although 'their going Is frequently mnrked by Exasperating delays, and there are al most as many Infallible cures as there are warts, the only trouble with these cures being that they are useless wliea applied to the particular wart you hap pen to have. They are only good for other people's. "In my opinion,' said a clubman who was discussing the subject with a friend one day, "a wart Is merely the outward correspondence of some men tal excrescence. Get rid of that, and It goes away. me give you a bit of my own experience," he continued. "Last year I went to Europe. For about three years I had had a wart on my little fin ger, on which I had tried everything I could hear of, but without effect. It only grew larger. "Well, In the excitement of preparing for the trip and of the Journey Itself 1 forgot all about my wart, and when I looked for It about six weeks later It had vanished without leaving the slightest mark. I simply forgot It, and It had no mental condition to feed on. I see you have one on the back of your hand. Forget all about It for a few weeks, and it will go away of Itself." "Yes," said the other clubman, shrug ging his shoulders, "but I can't afford to take a trip to Europe for the sake of curing one wart." ScnluK Done try Ants. Ants are credited with so many mar velous accomplishments that a new one must be remarkable to the noteworthy. Mr. E. Q. Green of Ceylon, an authori ty upon Insect habits, has, however, made an observation which is well worth putting on record. lie lias watch ed red ants holding grubs In their mouths and using the web they spin to repair a rent In their nest. Some leaves which had been fastened together by the nnts were separated by Mr. Green, and In a short time after he saw small white grubs being passed backward and forward across the gap. Closer observation showed that each grub was held 111 the Jaws of one of the worker ants, and Its movements were directed as required. A continuous thread of silk issued from the mouth of each grub and was used by the ants to sew up the rent In their shelter. There were no j;rul>s In the neighbor hood, and those used were obtained from a nest at some distance. This de liberate use of a naturally formed web as a sewing thread Is as astonishing as ! any Instance of the Intelligence of ants yet observed. recntlnr Trei*o.
