Dr. John Fyfe onc of the Editorial Staff of THE EcLECcTIC MEDICAL REVIEW says of Unicorn root (Helonias Dioica) which is one of the chief ingredients of the "Fa- vorite Prescription”: «A remedy which invariably acts as a uter- jne invigorator * * * makes for normal ac- tivity of the entire reproductive system.” He continues “in Helonias we have a medica- ment which more fully answers the above purposes than any other drug with which I am -quainted. In the treatment of diseases pe- culiar to women it is seldom that a case is seen which does not present some indication for this Fernedjal agent.” Dr. Fyfe further says: “The following are among the leading indications for Helonias (Unicorn root). Pain or aching in the back, with leucorrheea : atonic (weak) conditici™y of the reproductive 0; of Women, ment depression and ir- Scisted with chronic diseases of e the re; tiv ans of women: constant sensation heat gn the Yegion of the kid- neys; me (flooding), due to » weak- silffg "from or accompanying an 1 condition of the digestive organs zmic (thin blood) habit; dragging ons in the extreme lower part of the ONG 0 g reading ingredi- ents of which is Unicorn root, cr Helonias, and the medical properties of which it ost faithfully represents. Of Golden Seal root, another prominent ingredient of “Favorite Prescription,” Prof. Finley Ellingwood, M. D., of Ben- nett Medical College, Chicago, says: «Jt is an impoxtant remedy in disorders of the womb. In all catarrhal conditions * * and general enfeeblement, it is useful.” Prof. John M. Scudder, M. D., late of Cincinnati, says of Golden Seal root : «In relation to its general effects on the system, there is no medicine in use about which there is such general unanimity of opinion. It is universally regarded as the tonic useful in all debilitated states.” rof. R. Bartholow, M. D.. of Jefferson Medical College, says of Golden Seal : «Valuable in uterine hemorrhage, menor- rhagia (flooding) and congestive dysmenor- rheea {painful menstruation).” = ; Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription faith- fully represents all the above named in- gredients and cures the diseases for which they are recommended. Feat in Bricklaying. In the erection of the House of Representatives office building, ad- jacent to the United States Capitol at Washington, an interesting fact has developed in connection with the brick masonry work. The first brick was laid at the site on the afternoon of July 5, 1905, and on July 3, 1906, there had been laid in the walls 11,- 000,000 brick. This is believed to be the greatest number of brick laid on any one building in one year in the United States, and probably in the world. One of the causes conducing to this record-breaking feat was the remarkably ‘“‘open’’ winter of 1905-°06. In those winter months the work continued almost without interruption from either snow or cold, and not more than 12 or 15 days were lost during the entire winter by reason of eather conditions.—Scientific Amer- can.

A well-known photographer who re- cently paid into his bank a sovereign whieh appeared to be much worn was astonished a short time after- ward to find that its value had been credited to him at 21 shillings. It appears that on reaching the mint the coin was discovered to be a clever counterfeit made of platinum heavily gilt. At the time at which it is sup- posed to have been made it was worth about seven and sixpence, but at the present price of platinum a sovereign’s weight of that ponderous metal is worth much more than a sovereign’s weight of gold.— Amateur Photographer.

We are so constantly being warned against unworthy companionships that it is well to have somewhat on the other side to maintain a proper bal- ance of teaching. There are circum- stances that justify association with those whom to copy would be ruin- ous to our own characters. For, first, it is our mission to the world to re; place the leaven of wickedness with the leaven of goodness; to make flowers and fruits to grow in the place of briars and nettles. So Jesus ming- led in the social affairs of life, even to the scandal of ‘the hypocritical Pharisees, who said, ‘“Behold a man gluttonous!” But wherever Jesus went the people were made thoughtful of spiritual things, and were turned in lesser or larger degree from their evil ways. After the Master spoke to him, Zacchaeus said: ‘Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I (hereby) give to the poor,” and so on, showing a thoroughly penitential condition of heart. Dr. W. C. Wilkinson quotes from the diary of George Ticknor some: what concerning that traveler's visit to the drawing room of the famous Wilberforce, the English anti-slavery philanthropist. “] always came away,” says Ticknor, “with regret because I had been in the midst of influences which ought to have made me better.” A man of less admirable character would no doubt have felt in some measure the same inspiration toward goodness. The mission: workers, deaconesses, and Salvationists go down among the vilest and come back without stain, having gone forth enveloped with the heavenly atmosphere of their vocation. If we will ‘associate with the vo- taries of folly only to reclaim them” we shall be likely to escape contag- fon. Let us be sure of our motives. CHRISTI ENDENORNOTES DECEMBER NINTH. in domestic Christ's Life. Xll. Lessons from the “Seven Words from the Cross.” John 19:25-30; Luke 23:34-46; "Mark 15:34. Honoring a mother.—Prov. 23:22-25. Our Great High Priest.—Heb. 2: 14-18. Paul’s finished life.—2 Tim. 4:1-8. Forgiving enemies.—Mark 11:20-26. “Save to the uttermost.’—Heb. 7: 22-28. “Into thy hands.”—Ps. 31:1-8. “Father, forgive them.” This is the climax of love, and so the climax of Christ. Christ considers not what is done but what is willed; if we ‘know not,” God punishes not. “To-day shalt thou be with me.” No onc of us can be in a worse case than the thief on the cross; he has shown us how any man may be saved. The cross the gateway to paradise! Do we find it so? - “Why hast Thou forsaken me?” This only was needed to complete Christ's union with mankind—that He should doubt His Father. We can never be so far forsaken of God as Christ seemed to be, and yet how near God was to Him! “Behold Thy Mother.” Christ on the cross took thought for the lowest sinner, and pardoned him; and for the highest of His creation, 2 loving mother. This word was also a blessing to John: there is no comfort of grief equal to a task. #] Thirst.” Not only the most bitter pangs of the spirit broke the heart of Christ, but the most intense anguish of body. He can sympathize -with all our aches. Remember that if Christ had not come, such cruel deaths would still be inflicted. “Father, Into Thy Hands.” Christ had used His life all through as a steward of it for another; now He returns it,—how gloriously enlarg- ed! The clouds had passed away; there is no more thought of being forsak- en. “It is Finished.” And yet it Was only begun, as Luke rightly said in the first verse of the Acts. There is no “finished,” complete life outside of Christ. —————————————————— Christ the Builder. “I go to prepare a place for you.” One Sunday morning a Sunday- schoo! superintendent was reviewing the lesson before the school. He asked some of the children what Christ's occupation was. Some of them said He was a carpenter; others that He made things; one little fel- low said He made houses. Upon this answer a gray-haired old saint shouted out, “Yes, and He is build- ing them yet.” There are houses of worship, hospitals, Christian homes, all His work. Verily, He is the mas- ter huilder of the ages. — Ram's Horn. Makes Saloons Teo Influential.

TRADE WELL MAINTAINED Further Improvement in Mercantile Conditions—Distribution of Staples on Large Scale. R. G. Dun & Co.’s weekly review of trade says: Business was interrupted by the Thanksgiving holiday, but conditions warranted more than ever before a day devoted to grateful recognition. In all departments of agricultural, industrial and mercantile activity the current year is surpassing even the phenomenal record of 1905, which in turn eclipsed all preceding years. Reports from leading cities indi- cate that trade was well maintained during the past week, and further im- provement is noted in mercantile con- ditions. Holiday goods continue 10 occupy a position of prominence, but distribution of staples is on a large scaie. Leading manufacturing indus- tries are receiving orders for delivery far into next year, the volume of for- ward business being exceptional for iron and steel products, and a sharp advance in the price of raw cotton testifies to the consumption by spin- ners. Operations continue at the maxi- mum in pig iron furnaces, vet deliver- ies are so unsatisfactory that imports are constantly arranged. Confidence in well maintained consumption is evidenced by purchases abroad for delivery next year, and demands from the United States have advanced for- eign quotations. In the primary markets for cotton goods there is increasing difficulty regarding satisfactory deliveries, and the depleted condition = makes re- plenishmment imperative. Quiet con- ditions prevail in the woolen goods market, although inquiries surpass ex- pectations. Less activity is noted in the hide market, due to the over-bought con- dition rather than any’ lack of inquir- ies. Sirength and quiet continues to characterize the leather market. The light demand from shoe manufactur- ers in this vicinity is attributed to the inventories usually taken at this time. Liabilities of commercial failure thus far reported for November amounted to $6,609,901, of which $2,- 957,968 were in manufacturing, $3,- 643,477 in trading, and $208,155 in other commercial lines.

Write for Farm Wages in Russia. According to the official investiga- tion, embracing the decade of 1882-91, 38l"the average annual wages for a male ‘agricultural worker in: - Russia was less than $32 and for a female worker less than $18. To this must be added the cost of subsistence, - which is equally -low, being on: ap. average of $24 for a male and $22 for a female worker for a whole year, so that the average cost of employing a laborer for the entire year is equal to only $55 for the male and $40 for the fe- male. The wages for the summer season of five months is almost equal to the annual wages, being $22 for the male and $13 for the female laborer. Wood Paving. A bulletin of the Department of griculture on the subject of wood paving states that, in spite of its comparatively high ‘price, its ex- cellence causes many engineers to regard it as the best general-purpose one now in use. The cities using the largest amount of wood pavement are Indianapolis, Toledo and Boston. These five cities together have more creosoted wood pavement than all other cities in the country combined. The total amount of this pavement, in use at the end of the year 1905 was about 1,400,000 square yards. The wood now principally in use is Georgia pine. LIMB RAW AS PIECE OF BEEF.

She however, was obliged to have some of her teeth removed, and hag been wearing plates for some. years. Re-~ cently, a full size double tooth began to make its appearance.
