MODERN women,

1t is sad commentary upon orr
boosted civilization that the women OF
our times have degeneratcd in health and
physique until they are literally race OF
invalids-pale, nervous and back-achy,
with only here and there a few noble en-
ceptions in the persons of the robust,
buXom ladies Characteristic OF the sex in
days gone by. BY a very large expert
ence, covering period Of years and EN-
bracing the treatment of many thousands
OF cases OF those ailments peculiar to
women. DR.. Pierce. of the Worlds Dis
pensary, Buffalo. y. y. has
perfected, by the combination of certain
vegetable extracts, natural specific,
which he does not eXtol as a cure-all. but
one which admirably fuliills a single
ness of purpose, being a most positive
and reliable remedy for those weaknesses
and complaints that afiiict the women OF
the present day. This natural specific
compound is called DIR. Piercc's Favoritc
Prescription. The following are among
those diseases in which this wonderful
medicine has worked cures as if by magic
and with certainty never before attained
by any medicines: Weak back. nervous
aud general debility, falling and
other displaceBIeuts OF internal organ :.
resulting from debility and lack o.
strength III natural supports, internal
fever, congestion, inflammation and ulcer
alton and very many other chronic dis
eases incident TO woman, not proper TO
mcntion here, in which, as well lis in the
cases that have been enumerated, the IA
yoritc prescription effects cures-thc
marvel Of the world. 1t will do no harm
in any state or condition OF the system,
and by adopting its use the invalid lady
may avoid that severest of ordcals-the
consulting OF u family physician. Favor
lite prescription is sold by dealers in med
icines generally. dNwlwtJJ)

A YOUNG MUNCnAusEN WHO HAS BROWNS
BOY COLD.

A family named Smith has recently
moved to Germantown, and Mr. Browns
boy, on Saturday, leaned over the fence
and gave to our reporter his impression
of Mr.. Smiths boy, n lad about fourteen
years old
.. Yes, me and him are right well ac-
quaintcd now. lie knows morn | do,
and he's had more experience. Bill says
his father used to be u rObbcr (Smith 10y
the way, is n deacon in the Prcsby ytcrian
church, and very excellent lawyer, and
that he has ten million dollars in gold
buried in his cellar, along with whole
lot Of human bones Of people he's killed.
And he says his father is IL conjurcr, and
that he makes all the earthquakes that
happen anywhere in the world. The
old man will come home Mt night, after
there's been an earthquake, nll coverod
with sweat, and so tired he can hardly
stand. Bill says it's such hard work.
And Bill told me that once, when man
came around there trying to sell light
ming rods, his father got mad and ct, ct
him right up and he takes bites out Of
everybody he comes acrost.
That's what Bill tells me. That's
all know about it. And he told me
that he once used to have dog, one of
those little kind of dogs, and he was fly
ing his kite, and just for tun he tied the
kite string to the dogs tail. And then
the wind struck her, and his dog went
II bommin' down the street, with hind
legs in the air, for about mile, when
the kite all of a sudden began to 90 up,
and in about minute the dog was tif
teen miles higlr and commanded view
of California and Egypt and Oshkosh, l
think Bill said. lie came down, anyhow,
| know, in Brazil and Bill said he
swum home all the way in the Atlantic
ocean; and when he landed his legs
were all nibbcd off by sharks. | wish
father would buy me dog, SOS could
send him up in that way. But I never
had no luck. Bill said that where they
used to live he went out on the root one
day to fly his kite, and he sat on top of
the chimbly to give her plenty Of room,
and while he was sitting there thinking
about nothing, the old man put keg OF
powder in the fireplace to clean the SCOT
out Of the chimbly, and when he touched
her off Bill was thrown over against the
BPtist church steeple, and he landed on
the wcathercock with his pants torn, and
they couldn' git him down for three
days, so he hung there, going round and
round with the wind, and she lived by
eating crows that came and sat on him,
because they thought he was made of
sheet iron and put there on purpose.
" He's more fun than enough. lie
was telling me about sausage stuffer
his brother invented. 1t was kinker

Bill said the way they did in the fall
was to fix it on the hogs back, and con-
meet the treadle with string, and the
hog'd work the treadle, and keep on run.

cut the hog up fine and showed the meat

Bill was saying only yesterday that
the Indians caught him once, and drove

hurt him bit lie sad he got away hy

lin. And when asked him to show
me the holes where they drove in them
spikes, he said he darsn't take off his
clothes, or he'd bleed to death, He said
his father didn't know it, because Bill
was afraid it might worry the old man
And Bill told me they wasn't going to
20 to Sunday school. He says his father
has brass Idol that he keeps in the gar-
ret, and Bill says he made up his mind
to he II pngan, and begin to 60 naked,
and carry tommahawk and bow and
arrow, rs soon as the warm weather
comes. And to prove it to me he says
his father has this town all mdcraid
with nitro .glyccrine, and as soon as he
gets ready he's going to blow the old
thing out, bust her up let her rip, and
demolish her. He saiu so down to the
dam, and told me not to tell anybody,
but thought they'd be no harm in men
tioning it to you. And now believe
must be going; hear Bill whistling,
Maybe he's got something else to tell me'

How IL Skeptic Became "a Theo-
lOgian.

The following amusing incident IN the
life of an Italian Padre is related by
Bishop Ferrette in his Boston lecture
The worthy Bishop was pleading for alb
solutc religious liberty, with his usual
elooucnce, relating, by way of illustra-
ton. his individual experience, when the
Jealous Padre burst in upon him with
the following religious philippe:
Religious liberty nonsense! ReIig'
ious liberty for minors what a more
complete subversion OF all the principles
on which the State, the Church, and the
family rest Such principle will make
of every nation nation Of Protestants
ana mndels. you have shown, and l
grant, that the denial of religious liberty
in general, or with regard to minors in
particular may, in some instances, hap
pen to work in manner in which the
Catholic Church deprccates. 1t may be
used here and there to enforce intidelity
and Professionalism against Catholicism.
1t has been used in the Roman Empire
prior to Constantine, in England under
Elizabeth and Cromwell but then what
does this prove That every society
which, however bad or hcretical it may
be, from a Protestant synod to band OF
brigands has at all in itself the condi-
tions of existence, initiates the Catholic
Church in holding with her, partly at
least, those fundamental principles with
out which no society could for moment
exist. Among those principles is that of
social resistance to the claim laid by in
dividuals to the right Of deciding for
themselves what is reigiously, or polite
ally, or morally right or wrong, and car
rying their views into practice. A Pro-
tcstant power which persecutcs Catho.
lies does thing we must condemn when
we Judge it morally, tor 1t is o sin. But
when we rise to the height of those prin-
Ciples on which the balance of the uni
verse rests, we cease to see in those cruel
freaks Of a Protestant dCspot anything
else than the wrong application ota right
principle; and if, Of the principle of APP
pIicatiOn, the one must unhappily be
wrong, say let, by all means, the right
principle be maintained, and the applica-
tion Oe what it may. The right princi.
pie, maintained bp protestants during
the inteTeGnum of Catholic authority
will be found intact by the Catholic
Church on her return, and be, from the
first day, used by her us Il valuable means
Of government. You gave to me your
experience as a boy, and l will give you
mine, which is somewhat different"
Attcr giving vent to the above, the
lanatical Padre relates the following as
the means by which he became a theolo-
gian and desciple of the holy Catholic
Church
One day, years ago, when our Italy
began to be overrun by Protestant ennis
saries not SO bold or so numerous as to.

What IN PLANT Ibid.

A little plant was given to sick girl
In trying to take care Of it the family
made changes in their way of living
First, they cleaned the window that more
light might come in to its leaves then
when not to cold, they wo ID open tue
window so that fresh air might help the
plant to grow. Next, the clean window
made the rest Of the room look so untidy
that they used to wash the floor AMI
walls and arrange the furniture nor
neatly This led the father of the fam
lily to mend u broken chnir or two, wIil'il
kept him at home several evenings. ~
ter the work WAS done, he staid at honlN
instead OF spending his leisure at ta,
ern, and the money thus saved went "
buy comforts for them ALL And then %
the home grew attractive, the whole tap,
lily loved it and each other better thup
ever before, and grew healthier and nag
pier with their flowers. Thus the lit~
plant brought real as well as u phv
ical blessing.
