FEARLS O THOUGHT.
In all departments of activity, to
have one thing to do, and then do it,
is the secret of success.— Menander.
The failures of life come from rest-
ing in good intentions, which are in
vain unless carried out in wise action.
—C. Simmons.
An inquisitive man is a creature
naturally very vacant of thought it-
self. and therefore forced to apply to
foreign assistance.—Steele.
There is no readier way for a man to
bring his own worth into question,
than by endeavoring to detract from
the worth of other men.—Tillotson.
Whatever is unjust is contrary to
the divine will; and from this it fol-
lows that no true and abiding happi-
ness can be gained by those who are
un just.—Streteh.
If men would consider not so much
wherein they differ, as wherein they
agree, there would be far less of un-

Giant Footprints in a Rock.
Almost in midstream, in the Loyal-
hanna creek, near the old Loyalhanna
church, adjacent to Saltsburg, there is
a large rock. of which about eight feet
square is exposed during the low-water
period. In almost the middle of this
surface there is an imprint of the foot
of a human being or possibly that of a
bear. It penetrates the rock to a dis-
tance of almost two feet, and the out-
lines are as distinet as though chiseled
out by hand. This rock is a composite
sandstone, and in the shale, about 100
vards away, there are petrified stumps
of trees. From the size of the foot-
print, if it belongs to man, it must
have been that of a giant or a mon-
strosity, when compared to our race.
If it were a bear's foot that left the
mark, it must have belonged to the
age of large mammals, and should
have been sufficient to frighten the In-
dians on their march to the Hannas-
town massacre.
At any rate the petrified stumps of
the two trees in the shale and the im-
print of the foot in the rock are freaks
in their respective ways, and are pro-
nounced as belonging to distinctively
different geological periods by all who
have observed them.—Westmoreland

FIRST RAILWAY IN THZ WEST.

Independence by railroad in 185i. The
road was built by Independence capi-

in the overland trade, Wayne City
being the river landing for Independ-

A large, two-story brick depot as
built in Independence and used as a
warehouse and railway station, but
the venture never proved successful |
and the first line of railway ever con-
structed in the west was early aban-
doned. The depot in Independence
was long used as a livery stable, but
was burned nearly 20 years ago, and
the very fact of the existence of the
railroad had nearly passed from mem-
ory until Commissioner W. P. Trick-

The Monkey and the Parrot.
Here is a Chinese fable with a mozal,
which might be expressed in English,
“Don’t monkey with the buzz-saw.”
But that is getting the cart before the
house. It is about a monkey and a par-
rot, and is as follows:
A sparrow had its nest half-way up a
tree, in the top of which dwelt a mon-
key. After a heavy rain the sparrow

How shall a mother who is weak and sick with some
female trouble bear healthy children ? |
How anxious women ought to be to give their children
the blessing of a good constitution !
Tany women long for a child to bless their home, but be-
cause of some debility or displacement of the female organs,
they are barren.
Preparation for healthy maternity is accomplished by
Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound more suc-
cessfully than by any other medicine, because it gives tone
and strength to the parts, curing all displacements and in-
flammation.
Actual sterility in women is very rare. If any woman
thinks she is sterile, let her write to Mrs. Pinkham, Lynn,
Mass., whose advice is given free to all expectant or would-
be mothers.
Mrs. A. D. Jarret, Bzlmont, Ohio, writes:
“Dear MRS. PINREAM 2 must write and tell you hat your Vege-
table Compound has done for me. Before taking your medicine I was unabla
