AWFUL DEED OF WEALTHY FARMER Tied His Young Wife in Pen With Maddened Bull—Lynching Threatened. TONAWANDA (N. Y.), March 21.—B. Post, a wealthy farmer, in a jealous rage last night, tied his pretty wife to a post in a bull pen. He tied a bright red apron about the woman, to goad the bull to frenzy and left her to her doom. She was found on the floor of the bull pen this morning by a mail carrier, frightfully mangled, with the maddened bull standing over the remains still using his horns at the work of death, hours before completed. Post lives four miles south of the village. He quarreled with his wife last night, over the alleged attentions of a neighbor, the Rev. Hiram Coates, a Free Methodist preacher. Mrs. Post was attractive and young, and much interested in religious work. She attended prayer meeting at Kenmore, half a mile from her home, last night and while there talked with Coates. After the Posts returned home they quarreled violently. Bitter words were heard by the neighbors who passed by. This morning George Reeves, a mail carrier, went to the house and found evidence of a fierce struggle. Then followed the discovery of the fearful crime. All through the night the bull had tossed and mangled the body. Post was captured by a posse of farmers, heading for Niagara Falls, where he said he intended to drown himself. Doubt as to his sanity prevented lynching. Another posse was in pursuit, intending to mete to him the same fate as his wife suffered, but the officers had Post safely in jail before the posse arrived. PIERCE WRITES ON WALNUT DISEASE Impossible to Perfectly Disinfect a Tree Once Diseased. Some weeks ago a communication was received by the Los Angeles Horizontural Commission from San Gabriel, stating that certain growers had received a consignment of walnut trees from a neighboring county. The trees were known to be infected with walnut bacteriosis, the letter stated, and the consignee said they had decided to return the trees to the nursery from which they came. The nurserymen who sent the trees out asked the commission if infected trees would be destroyed if sent into Los Angeles county. The census bureau has issued a bulletin on manufacturing in California, which conveys much information that those interested in the development of the State may be proud of. Statistics are given on manufacturing in the State since its admission into the Union in 1850. During that period the population of the State increased from 92,597 to 1,482,179, while the average number of wage earners employed in manufacturing establishments increased from 3964 to 91,047. Thus while the population increased a little over 1500 per cent the number of factory hands increased over 2196 per cent. In 1850 there were 1003 manufacturing establishments with a total capital of $1,006,197; in 1860 the number had increased to 8468 and the capital to $22,043,096. By 1870 the number of factories had diminished to 3984, but the amount of capital represented had increased to $39,728,202. In 1880 the establishments numbered 5885 and the aggregate capital was $61,243,784. In 1890 the number of factories increased to 7923, while the capital had swollen to $146,797,102. In 1900 the census showed 12,582 factories, with a capital of $205,395,025. The greatest number of hands employed in factories during 1900 was 140,330, or nearly 10 per cent of the population of the State. The value of manufacturing products for 1900 was $302,874,761, as against $213,403,996 in 1890. The refining of sugar is the most important manufacturing industry of the State. There are six refineries reported and seven beet sugar factories. Meat packing ranks second in importance; there being 58 establishments reported. There are 313 lumber establishments reported, and 124 flour and grist mills. There are 136 establishments engaged in fruit canning; this industry ranking fifth in importance. These establishments employ an average of nearly 8000 hands, and the annual product is valued at over $13,000,000. San Francisco reports 4002 manufacturing establishments with an average of over 45,000 hands employed. Los Angeles reports 1415 establishments, with an average employment of close to 9000 hands. These figures are gratifying in view of the recent development of manufacturing in that city, which has been largely stimulated by the development of oil industries. Husbands Vamoose Elizabeth Patten Nowlin and E. Patton Nowlin, mother and father, of San Bernardino, woke up other morning to find themselves sorted by their husbands. Sam Nowlin and George W. Nowlin, and son, who have been farming small way near that town for eight years. The women did not any time in idle tears but at one about securing their protection law in order to preserve their property. Eight years ago Nowlin Sr., aged two, and Elizabeth Patton, aged two, were married in San Bernardo. The bride had a grown daughter groom had a grown son. It was for them to fall in love, but she sequel has proven, the love of their lins was not sincere and lasting. Mrs. Patton Nowlin's first husband was buried several years prior to her second matrimonial venture; his wife considerable property; veloops that Nowlin's eyes looked yond his heart and the widow December-the younger Nowlin made the daughter of the well-to-do Patton Nowlin. Mrs. Patton claims that this marriage was part of the plot to secure her property and last week they pealed. Nowlin Sr. has a d wife in San Francisco and it is he the wicked pair are headed that city.

Now is the best time for purifying your blood. Because your system is now to purify it—you know that pimples and other eruptions have come on your face and Hood’s Sarsaparo and Pillles... Some weeks ago a communication was received by the Los Angeles Hornticultural Commission from San Gabriel, stating that certain growers had received a consignment of walnut trees from a neighboring county. The trees were known to be infected with walnut bacteriosis, the letter stated, and the consigneees said they had decided to return the trees to the nursery from which they came. The nurserymen who sent the trees out asked the commission if infected trees would be destroyed if sent into Los Angeles county. The reply was that they would not be, but that advice would be given to send them back unless treated with a good germicide. Even with this treatment, the planter should be acquainted with the facts and take his own risks in planting. The board wrote Newton B. Pierce, the government pathologist at Santa Ana, asking if nursery trees could be disinfected by the proper use of Bordeaux mixture. He replied as follows: "Your recommendation to growers not to plant infected walnut trees is certainly proper, and has been my advice to growers for several years. I believe it impossible to perfectly disinfect a tree once diseased, as the germs enter the inner tissues and also the pith cavities, where they winter. The exterior may be disinfected with the Bordeaux mixture, but not the deeper lying tissues. The formula suitable for spraying the tops is, five pounds copper sulphate, five pounds good quicklime, fifty gallons of water. "The roots and soil about them are likely to harbor thousands of germs which have fallen or been washed down from the leaves and the trunk. To disinfect the roots is equally difficult, and the effect of dipping those parts in Bordeaux could only be told by trial although I believe it would not seriously retard the growth, and probably only do good. I think the above Bordeaux mixture as effective and safe a dip as any you could use at this time; but later experiments may improve upon this method. When it is possible it is always best to get trees from a region not infected." From this letter it will be seen that great precautions should be taken to keep this walnut disease from spreading. Nurserymen should not plant seed without first disinfecting the walnut-used, nor should they plant from orchards that cannot show a clean bill of health. Dealers who will not take these ordinary precautions should no expect the patronage of intelligent growers. A great change of sentiment is noticeable on this matter among tree planters, and they will soon be demanding a better service from their nurserymen in every way. Those who do not honor this demand will find the business of tree growing less profitable from year to year.

Successful Fruit Growers In 1872 there was incorporated at Healdsburg, in Sonoma county, the Southern California Semi-Tropical Fruit company. The enterprise was inaugurated by L. M. Holt, then associate editor of the Healdsburg Flag, who was made president of the company. Among the stockholders were Prof. C. E. Hutton, then a banker at Healdsburg, but now a teacher in the State Normal school at Los Angeles; I. N. Chapman, an engineer, now a resident of Alamoda; R. H. Gilman, who was made superintendent of the ranch; John P. Mulgrew, afterwards sheriff of Sonoma county; Thomas A. Gary, at that time a prominent nurseryman of Los Angeles, and others. The company bought 107 acres of dry land, with little or no prospects of a water supply, about four miles north east of Anaheim, and commenced work. The superintendent struggled along for several years by lifting water from a well sixty feet in depth and hauling it to the trees; but finally the Cajon canal was constructed, and afterwards consolidated with the Anaheim Union company, and water from the Santa Ana river was obtained in abundance. Strange to say, most of the original stockholders who formed the company nearly thirty years ago are still stockholders, and Mr. Gilman is still the superintendent. Mr. Mulgrew has the same ten shares of stock he originally took while he was acting as foreman of the Flag printing office, and one lady subscribed for one share of the original stock, which share she still retains. Prof. Hutton is still a member of the board of directors, a position he has held for thirty years. The property is a good one, and in 1900 paid a dividend of $50 a share. Chronic Diarrhoea. Mr. C. B.

ROOSEVELT'S ADVICE A member of congress told the story, which he had from first source, of how Mr. Roosevelt, just before war with Spain was declared, once burst tempestuously into the cabinet room during a cabinet meeting. "Here comes Roosevelt," said President McKinley. "Let's see what he has to say. What would you advise," he continued, addressing Mr. Roosevelt, "as to the action of the United States in connection with Cervera's fleet?" Setting his teeth firmly together, Mr. Roosevelt replied: "With all due deference to you, Mr. President, since you ask me for my honest opinion, I would say that my advice is to meet Cervera's fleet at the Canaries and sink every d—ship in the fleet." "But that would be an act of war," replied President McKinley. "Certainly it would, Mr. President," said Mr. Roosevelt, "but I have noticed in studying history that it is the nation which gets in the first blow that usually wins, and I believe in getting in the first blow."

Husbands Vamoosed Elizabeth Patten Nowlin and Flora Patton Nowlin, mother and daughter of San Bernardino, woke up the morning to find themselves deceived by their husbands, Samuel S. Patton and George W. Nowlin, father of Leonard, who have been farming in a well way near that town for the last ten years. The women did not lose time in idle tears but at once set out securing the protection of the farm in order to preserve their property. Years ago Nowlin Sr., aged sixty-five, and Elizabeth Patton, aged fifty-six, were married in San Bernardino. The bride had a grown daughter, the mom had a grown son. It was natural them to fall in love, but as the husband has proven, the love of theNowlin was not sincere and lasting. Mrs. Patton Nowlin's first husband, Joan was buried several years previous after second matrimonial venture, left wife considerable property. It depicts that Nowlin's eyes looked behind his heart and the widow. Last December the younger Nowlin married the daughter of the well-to-do Mrs. Patton Nowlin. Mrs. Patton now imits that this marriage was only a part of the plot to secure her property. The Nowlin managed to convert a large part of the property into personal property and last week they disappeared. Nowlin Sr. has a divorced wife in San Francisco and it is believed she wicked pair are headed toward city.

Hood's Sarsaparilla and Pills FLYING BULLETS. One Way by Which They May Be Seen After Leaving the Rifle. "I don't believe the story that bullets can be seen when fired from a gun," said the old soldier. "You know in the army there is a theory that men have seen bullets, but they never lived to tell of it, because the bullets were going straight for them and hit them in the eye. The only men who have seen the ordinary rifle bullets in transit are dead." "No, they aren't," said the old hunter. "I have seen many bullets flying. One way by which you can see them planly is by dipping them in glycerin before firing." "Yes, you might trace them by the smoke then caused by air friction," said the veteran, "but you can't see the bullets." "Oh, yes, you can," retorted the hunter. "I have watched them often during target practice, and any one can see the large caliber bullets, though I won't say as much for the tiny modern missiles. The way to see a flying bullet is to get a little to one side of the shooter, about five feet away from him, say. Then run an imaginary line from the muzzle of his gun to the target. Let your eyes rest on a space of light colored ground exactly on this line and when he fires you will see something dark, like a bee, flit past the light colored space. That is the bullet. Of course by the time the eye tells the brain it sees the missile the bullet has struck the target, but you have seen it all right." Death In Nightmare. One of the late beliefs of the medical profession is that many people die each year while asleep from heart disease that is brought on by nightmares or bad dreams. A specialist on the heart said recently that in his opinion in nine cases out of ten deaths in bed heart action was stopped by fear which injurious dreams brought on. "I have taken part in thousands of autopsies," said this expert, "and in many cases made a study of the habits of those who died. I found that the majority had been sufferers from nightmares or other nocturnal disturbances of dreamland and that frequently they woke up in the middle of the night completely exhausted and gravely alarmed through some particularly vivid dream. If people are frightened to death while awake when they have their full senses and hope for relief, why is it not doubly likely that they die from fright while asleep" FACTS ABOUT ANAHEIM Sketch of the industries and resources of this Most Beautiful Part of California. The City of Anaheim, with a population of 2500, is situated in the northern part of Orange county, in Southern California, 12 miles from the ocean, 4½ miles from the foothills, and 148½ feet above sea level. It is 27 miles from Los Angeles, the second largest city in the State of California. The climatic conditions are the most favorable for out-door life to be found in Southern California. The temperature is extremely uniform, seldom rising above 90 degrees in summer, or falling below 32 degrees in winter. The abundance of sunlight and the absence of sharp frosts and cold winds make it a place especially acceptable to those desiring to escape the severe climate of the east. The country is very attractive. It is practically level, with just sufficient slope from the hills to afford adequate drainage. The roads are level, well graded, and well kept, affording excellent opportunities for cycling and driving. The soil is a rich sandy loam which never bakes, making it a very easy ground to work; thus lending itself readily to the cultivation of berries, nuts, oranges, etc. The variety of products, and the possibility of procuring small tracts of land at low figures, and on easy terms, make our section of the county very attractive and advantageous for truck raising, or for farming on a small scale. The following are a few of the products: oranges, lemons, walnuts, grapes, peaches, apricots, sugar beets, berries and vegetables of all kinds. Anaheim is the possessor of a Building and Loan Association, Water company, two railroads, fruit cannery and drier, large oil industry, ostrich farm, bank, several adequate commercial houses, two hotels and two newspapers. The city also owns its water and lighting plant. OPERA SCENERY Its Production Requires Its Work and Lots of Cash and The public little realizes that the scenes of the Metropolitan House is a large and most factory running in full blast; manufactured all the scenic tunes; properties and mechafacts used in the elaborate prose Everything has to be most planned. When a revival of "Flute" was under consideration the expense of doing it on an acute scale was figured out; it that the curtain would rise penditure of something like $ Have you ever been in a list's studio? He has no easel he has a little model, an exture of the house in which he is to be set up.

Anticipated the Permit Ministers have many intermingues experiences. A local clergyman was conversation with a number other day, when each story of weddings being formed. One of the party offer: Some time ago a great roughly dressed, and a wee young woman came to him no witnesses, and in fact, to have any. Nevertheless maid and groomsman went from the household, and then began. They had promised obey and all the rest of when the preacher announced the bride." The bridegroom, on bending itated a little tried to say and couldn't. "Kiss the bride," said they. "Why. parson. I did, and here at all," replied the whose face had taken the June rose. April, May There is a best time for doing everything—that is, a time when a thing can be done to the best advantage, most easily and most effectively. Now is the best time for purifying your blood. Why? Because your system is now trying to purify it—you know this by the simples and other eruptions that have come on your face and body. Hood's are the medicines you have always heard recommended. "I cannot recommend Hood's Sarsaparilla too highly as a spring medicine. When we take it in the spring we all feel better through the summer." Mrs. S. H. Neal, McCray, Pa. Hood's Sarsaparilla promises to cure and keeps the promise. Dogmatic People Are often capable of doing injury to less positive people, the very emphasis of their affirmation making up for lack of argument and want of evidence. And the worst of all dogmatists are those doctors who harking back to some old dogma of the schools, insist that certain patients are beyond all medical help, because, forsooth, their diseases are beyond the limited medical knowledge of the dogmatist. "When the physicians had given me up I was cured by the use of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery." That statement, varied sometimes in form but identical in fact, is one of the common expressions found in the letters of those cured by "Golden Medical Discovery." Sometimes the statement runs; "I was given up by four doctors," showing a desperate effort to find relief in local practitioners. But however the story begins, it almost invariably ends with the statement, "I am perfectly cured by Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery." Persons suffering from "weak" lungs, hemorrhages, deep-seated cough, emaciation and weakness, have been restored to perfect health by the "Discovery." The philosophy of the cures effected by this marvelous medicine is not hard to understand. Life is sustained by food, digested and assimilated. The basis of health is a good appetite and a sound digestion. In almost all cases of disease loss of appetite is an early symptom, and this is promptly followed by a wasting of the flesh. For some cause ped by fear which injurious dreams brought on. "I have taken part in thousands of autopsies," said this expert, "and in many cases made a study of the habits of those who died. I found that the majority had been sufferers from nightmares or other nocturnal disturbances of dreamland and that frequently they woke up in the middle of the night completely exhausted and gravely alarmed through some particularly vivid dream. If people are frightened to death while awake when they have their full senses and hope for relief, why is it not doubly likely that they die from fright while asleep when their courage is dwarfed by faculties temporarily affected?" China's Antiquity. China's antiquity is a part of her colossal proportions. China's early writers record a mythological history covering tens of thousands of years, but this period ends with the establishment of the capital of the empire at Kalfungru in the thirty-first century B.C. Her legendary history extends from this time to 2205 B.C., at which time, it may be said, China's real history beigs. The ancient history of China extends from 2205 B.C. to 298 B.C. Her medieval history begins there and extends to the time of the Mongol conquests in 1215 A.D. With the founding of the Mongol dynasty China's modern history begins. The Mongols were driven out by the Mings in 1688 A.D. The Mings were the last native dynasty that ruled over China, and their control lasted from 1688 to 1644. Under the title of the Ta Tsing (the Great Pure) dynasty the Mantchoos have ruled China since A. A. 1644. Lincoln Told a Story. At one time a friend complained to President Lincoln that a certain cabinet officer was administering his office with unusual energy with the hope of securing the presidential nomination. "That reminds me," said Mr. Lincoln. "that my brother and I were once plowing a field with a lazy horse, but at times he rushed across the field so fast that I could hardly keep up with him. At last I found an enormous chin fly on him and knocked it off. Now I am not going to make that mistake a second time. If the secretary has a chin fly on him, I am not going to knock it off, if it will only make his department go." Lynch Law. Lynch law in its usual meaning is said to be traceable to a Galway worthy. In 1493 one James FitzStephen Lynch, a mayor of that city, sentenced his own son to death for murder and fearing a rescue, had the culprit brought home and hanged before his own door. The tradition may be found alluded to in Thackayer's "Irish Sketch Book." There are critics, however, who say that the law was in its origin essentially American, and they date it back to Charles Lynch, a Virginian planter of the seventeenth century. But He Weakened. "My dear," said the poet sternly, "I've just sold a love song, but" "But what?" Oh, nothing. I was just about to say that I wouldn't buy bacon or ped by fear which injurious dreams brought on.

RUSH TO PHILIPPINES Efforts are being made by a number of San Francisco capitalists to take advantage of the low railroad rates from the East and send a number of colonists to Manila. The projectors of the enterprise hope to get up a rush to the islands that will equal if not eclipse the rush to the northern gold fields. As soon as the legislation relating to the islands, now pending before Congress, is finally passed, a wholesale decent will be made upon the islands. It is the expectation of the promoters that the land laws of the United States will be applied to the islands, and that the thousands of acres now idle will be filled with American farmers and miners. There have been times when the wild beasts have been more merciful than human beings, and spared the woman cast to them in the arena. It is astonishing how little sympathy women have for women. In the home the mistress sees the maid with the signs of suffering she recognizes so well, but she does not lighten the sick girl's load by a touch of hearing. In the store the forewoman sees the pallor and exhaustion which mark womanly weakness, but allows nothing for them. It is work or quit. Doctor Pierce's Favorite Prescription makes weak women strong and sick women well, by curing the womanly diseases which undermine the health and sap the strength. "Favorite Prescription" establishes regularity, drives weakening drains, heals inflammation and ulceration, and cures female weakness. "When I first commenced using Dr Pierce's medicine," writes Mr. George A. Stronge of Gwennsworth Saratoga Co., N.Y., "I was suffering from female weakness, a disgraceful drain, bearing down pains, weak and tired feeling all the time. I dragged around in that way for two years, then I began taking your medicine. After taking the first bottle began to feel better. I took four bottles of Dr Pierce's Favorite Prescription, one vial of the 'Pleasant Pallets,' also used one bottle of Dr. Siege's Catarrh Remedy."

Stronge of Gwennsworth Saratoga Co., N.Y., "I was suffering from female weakness, a disgraceful drain, bearing down pains, weak and tired feeling all the time. I dragged around in that way for two years, then I began taking your medicine. After taking the first bottle began to feel better. I took four bottles of Dr Pierce's Favorite Prescription makes weak women strong and sick women well, by curing the womanly diseases which undermine the health and sap the strength." given up by four doctors," showing a desperate effort to find relief in local practitioners. But however the story begins, it almost invariably ends with the statement, "I am perfectly cured by Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery." Persons suffering from "weak" lungs, hemorrhages, deep-seated cough, emaciation and weakness, have been restored to perfect health by the "Discovery." The philosophy of the cures effected by this marvelous medicine is not hard to understand. Life is sustained by food, digested and assimilated. The basis of health is a good appetite and a sound digestion. In almost all cases of disease loss of appetite is an early symptom, and this is promptly followed by a wasting of the flesh. For some cause the food eaten is not being converted into nutrition and the body and its organs, being starved, must grow weak. There is only one way to get strength and that is by food. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery heals diseases of the stomach and allied organs of digestion and nutrition, so enabling the body to assimilate the needed nourishment. Thus various forms of "weakness," so-called, are cured by the "Discovery"—"weak" lungs, "weak" heart, "weak" nerves, "weak" or sluggish liver, etc., because the organs are made strong by food, which is perfectly digested and assimilated after the "Discovery" has healed the diseases of the stomach and associated organs of digestion and nutrition. PAIN ALL GONE. "I have taken your medicine with the greatest satisfaction," writes Mrs. George Riehl, of Lockport Station, Westmoreland Co., Penns., and can honestly say Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery has cured me of a pain in my right lung that the best doctors could not help. My appetite and digestion have improved so that I can eat anything at all, and I feel better than I have for years. Your 'Favorite Prescription' has cured me of womb trouble that I suffered from fifteen years, and painful monthly troubles. I can work a whole day and not get tired. My pain is all gone and I feel like a new person. I suffered with headache all the time, but have no headache now since taking your medicine. Your 'Golden Medical Discovery' and 'Favorite Prescription' do all that you claim for them, and more, too. I have been cured of troubles that I suffered from fifteen years, and the best doctor in the State could not cure me. 'Golden Medical Discovery' cured me of neuralgia that I suffered from five years, and if my letter can save one other poor sufferer, you can publish it." ALMOST A MIRAOLE. "I took a severe cold which settled in the bromeliad tuber," writes Rev. Frank Hay, of Nortonville, Jefferson Co., Kansas. "After trying medicines labeled 'Sure Cure,' almost without number, I was led to try Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. I took two bottles and was cured, and have stayed cured." When I think of the great pain I had to endure, and the terrible cough I had, it seems almost a miracle that I was so soon relieved. Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets cure constipation. They do not re-act upon the system and become a necessity, as do many other pills. But He Weakened. "My dear," said the poet sternly. "I've just sold a love song, but" "But what?" "Oh, nothing.

Doctor Pierce's Favorite Prescription makes weak women strong and sick women well, by curing the womanly diseases which undermine the health and sap the strength. "Favorite Prescription" establishes regularity, dries weakening drains, heals inflammation and ulceration, and cures female weakness. "When I first commenced using Dr. Pierce's medicines," writes Mrs. George A. Strong, of Gansevoort, Saratoga Co., N.Y. "I was suffering from female weakness, a disagreeable drain, bearing-down pains, weak and tired feeling all the time. I dragged around is that way for two years, then I began taking your medicine. After taking the first bottle I began to feel better. I took four bottles of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, two of 'Golden Medical Discovery,' one vial of the 'Pleasant Pallet.' Also used one bottle of Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy. Now I feel like a new person. I can't thank you enough for your kind advice and the good your medicine has done me." "Favorite Prescription" makes weak women strong, sick women well. Accept no substitute for the medicine which works wonders for weak women. Dr. Pierce's Pleasant-Pellets are the most desirable laxative for delicate women. A Few Words about A prominent Montreal clergyman H.

OPERA SCENERY. Its Production Requires Lots of Work and Lots of Cash as Well. The public little realizes that behind the scenes of the Metropolitan Opera House is a large and most important factory running in full blast. There is manufactured all the scenery, costumes, properties and mechanical effects used in the elaborate productions. Everything has to be most skillfully planned. When a revival of "The Magic Flute" was under consideration and the expense of doing it on an appropriate scale was figured out, it was found that the curtain would rise on an expenditure of something like $30,000. Have you ever been in a scenic artist's studio? He has no easel. Instead, he has a little model, an exact miniature of the house in which his scenery is to be set up. Here on a reduced scale he prepares models of the scenes which his painters are to project on an enormously enlarged scale upon the canvas which hangs by the paint bridge. When he has modeled his scene, he calls in the costumer and the stage manager. Scenic artist and costumer usually have put their heads together before getting to work and decided upon certain color schemes for the various scenes, but just that very morning the costumer may have seen a stunning bit of red which he wants to introduce into his scheme, and so he tries to persuade the scenic artist to change the coloring a little accordingly.—Cosmopolitan. Anticipated the Permission. Ministers have many interesting and amusing experiences. A local clergyman was engaged in conversation with a number of friends the other day, when each started telling stories of weddings he had performed. One of the party had this to offer: Some time ago a great big fellow, roughly dressed, and a wee mite of a young woman came to him. They had no witnesses, and, in fact, did not care to have any. Nevertheless, a bridesmaid and groomsman were selected from the household, and the ceremony began. They had promised to love and obey and all the rest of the service, when the preacher announced, "Kiss the bride." The bridegroom, on bended knee, hesitated a little, tried to say something and couldn't. "Kiss the bride," said the pastor. "Why, parson, I did, afore I come here at all," replied the bridegroom, whose face had taken the color of a June rose. The Changeling Child. The Scientific Explanation of the Change Formerly Attributed to the Fairies. In folk lore stories there is frequent mention of changelings—children who were changed by fairy influence. Some loving wife and proud husband found their child weak of body, and sometimes weak of mind. It grew up to be fretful, sullen and perhaps spiteful. It seemed impossible that love could bring such a child into the world. So the child was called a fairy changeling, a child substituted by the fairies for one whom in their envy for its lovliness they had carried away. We hear no more of fairy stories. Stern science says that healthy and lovely children must have healthy parents, and that when the mother in her days of waiting and anticipation is nervous, anxious, sleepless and generally miserable, her child will be weak and fretful. How reasonable this is. The child can have no strength which the mother does not give it, and how can the weak mother, who has not enough strength for herself have anything to spare for her babe? THE FAIRY GOD-MOTHER is a very pretty invention. But the real fairy god-mother is the natural mother of the child. It is she who must endow her child with health from which down. Had several hard cramping spells, and was not able to do any work at all. I received your answer in a few days, telling me to take Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. I took three bottles, and before I had taken it a week I was better, and before I had taken it a month I was able to help do my work. On the 27th of May my baby came, and I was only sick three hours, and had an easy time. The doctor said I got along nicely. "We praise Dr. Pierce's medicine for it has cured me. I am better now than I have been for thirteen years. I hope all how are afflicted will do as I have done and be cured." Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is a perfect medicine for women. It establishes regularity, drives the drains which weaken women, heals inflammation and cures female weakness. It is the best preparative for maternity, strengthening the nerves, encouraging the appetite and inducing refreshing sleep. It gives the mother strength to give her child and make the baby's advent practically painless. THE TEST OF WOMAN'S HEALTH is strength. A well woman will be a strong woman. She will not be "just dragging around" with throbbing head, aching back and constant weariness. No woman can be strong who is troubled by disease of the delicate female organism. The proof of the curative power of Doctor Pierce's Favorite Prescription may be all summed up in the phrase "It makes weak women strong, sick women well." "During my two years of married life I have not had good health," writes Mrs. Daisy Studdard, of 608 So. Esplanade Ave., Leavenworth, Kans. "I was all run-down, and my husband got me to write to Dr. Pierce and explain my case to him and see if he could do me any good. So I wrote, and thank the Lord, I got an early reply, telling me what the trouble was. I commenced taking Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, and also the 'Pleasant Pellets,' and now can say that I feel like a new woman, and can say also that we have a big baby four months old. When the baby came it was just wonderful how I got along and now I do all my work and do not feel tired out like I used to. I have taken eight bottles of the 'Favorite Prescription.' It makes one feel well and strong." Women who are troubled with chronic diseases are invited to consult Dr. Pierce, by letter, free. All letters are privately read and privately answered, and womanly confessions are guarded by you had no witnesses, and, in fact, did not care to have any. Nevertheless, a bridesmaid and groomsman were selected from the household, and the ceremony began.

"Why, parson, I did, afore I come here at all," replied the bridegroom, whose face had taken the color of a June rose. The witnesses burst forth in laughter, while the minister had all he could do to retain the serious expression which he always wore when wedding people.—Duluth News Tribune. Radio Active Substances. Different solid bodies—copper, platinum, lead, glass, wax, paper, etc.—become radio active when they are placed in a closed vessel along with one of the radio active salts of barium or, still better, immersed in a solution of such a salt. The induced radiation is of the same character as that of the original salt—its rays are deviated in the magnetic field. If a tube containing a gas under low pressure has a current of electricity passed through it, the gas becomes luminous when the pressure is low enough, as is well known. Air at 33 millimeters pressure becomes luminous when so treated, for example. When a radio active substance is held near to such a tube, the luminosity begins at a higher pressure, which for air is 44 millimeters. The color of the light varies in the two cases. Natural Fountain Pen. "All woodsmen know," says Paul Martin in La Vie Scientifique, "that pine needles grow in pairs in the same sheath and that when placed side by side the sharp pointed ends are exactly opposite. Fasten these two needles together by a thread quite near the pointed end, and you will have a pen with two sharp nibs, ready to write whatever you please. As a penholder insert the pen into a hollow twig, letting the points stick out about a centimeter (half inch). Dip your pen into an inkstand, letting it remain for a short time in the ink. The ink will rise by capillarity in the tube formed by the junction of the two needles and will form a reserve of liquid sufficient for the writing of twenty lines. The pen is fine, simple and antirust." George Saw Too. Mabel (anxiously)—Have you seen George this evening? He promised to call. Father—He did call.

The child can have no strength which the mother does not give it, and how can the weak mother, who has not enough strength for herself have anything to spare for her babe? THE FAIRY GOD-MOTHER is a very pretty invention. But the real fairy god-mother is the natural mother of the child. It is she who must endow her child with health from which springs all other endowments desirable for humanity. The way to have healthy children is to be healthy. But how to be healthy is the vexing question for women. Is the mother to blame because she is nervous, because her appetite fails and her strength wanes, because she is sleepless and despondent? One cannot blame the woman whose only failing is that she does not know how to change her condition. Yet a woman's health is practically in her own control. If she is weak she can be made strong. If she is sick she can be made well. The experience of other women shows that the rose of motherhood can be stripped of its thorns by the use of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription.
