A Dream of Fair Women,

Tennyson 10 his exquisite poem, dreams
of long procession of lovely women of
ages past. This is all very we'll, bat The
laureate would have done the world a
greater service if he had only told the
women of the present how they could
improve their health aud enhance their
charms. This he might easily have done
by recon mending the use of Dir. Pierce's
Favorite Prescripf ion. Health is the best
friend of beauty, and the innumera BILE
ills to which women are peculiarly subject
it's worst enemies. Long experience has
proven that the health OF womankind and
the "F.vorite Prescription" walk hand
in hand, and are inseparable. 1t is the
only medicine for woman, sold by drug

manufacturers, that it will give satisfac-

on the bottle wrapper, and faithfully
carried out for many years.

A Jewish preacher not five hundred

hence, recently, to refer to the supposed

While themes of this character are out of

The symptoms of Biliousness are I'M
happily but too we'll known. They differ in
different individuals 70 some extent. A
Bilious man is seldom a breakfast eater
Too frequently, alas, he has an excellent
appetite for liquids but none for solids of a
morning. His tongue will hardly bear in
spection at any time; if it is not white and
furred, it is rough, at all events.
The digestive system is wholly out of
order and Diarrbea or Constipation may be
symptom or the two may alternate. There
are often Hemorrhoids or even loss of blood.
There may be gddness and often headache

A fish story that takes the Champion
ship badge is reported from Newark, N.
j. Two months ago Constable Moses
Osborne, while getting out of boat
near the Belleville bridge, lost a badge
in the water. The badge was of gold,
about the size of quarter, and had been
presented by friends. The water was so
deep that the constable gave up all hope
of ever recovering it. Elk Fish Warden
Frank Compton went fishing on Tuesday
In preparing his fish for the table the
badge belonging to Constable Osborne
was founf in the stomach of a carp which
weighed eight pounds.

How Hail is Formed.

A correspondent of Nature contri-
butes to that journal a theory of the
formation of hail, which Is so short
and clear that it will interest many
readers who have, at times, oppor-
tunity to test its correctness.
Limiting our notice to such com
pound hailstones as are the most de-
structive, and are produced during a
tornado or violent thunderstorm,
the following is, in lew words, the
theory of their formation.
When the winds gyrate rapidly
round an axis, more or less inclined
to the earth, the space at and about
the axis is rarefed. When air charg-
ed with vapor is drawn into this rare
fed space, it may be condensed into
cloud or rain, but at q greater eleva-
ton into snow.
Now supposing the rain formed in
the lower region to be drawn up by
the ascending current into the snowy
region, and so held for short space,
the drops will be frozen, and then, II
propelled beyond the gyrations, it will
fall to the ground as a shower OF Or
binary hail.
But if in the descent they are again
drawn in by the ;nhowing current.
they may be again carried up into the
cold region, and so acquire another
coating OF snow, or, if wetted In the
previous descent, the water will freeze
into a coat OF transparent ice. In
this way the gloDule may make a
number OF ascents and descents, and.
acquire fresh coating each time.

even putting out his paw and feeling
softly OF the despairing young hunt
er's arm.
Expecting every minute to be throt-
5led, and so worn by this time that he
scarce cared il he were, Tom closed his
eyes, unable longer to endure the saw
age tixedness of their gaze. Presently
he felt one OF them lick his boot. Then
one OF them smelled him all the way
from his hand up to his face, the cold
shlvers of horror running through the
poor fellow all the while. Venturing to
unclose his eyes after time, he dimly
saw both panthers sitting up hard
by, as if holding a silent consultation
over him.
BY and by one smelled him again.
even licking his hand dice or twice
attentions which sent a shudder to
the boys heart, for he expected to
feel the beast crunch it the next mo-
menU between it's Jaws.
Tom thinks that full half-hour
passed IN this way. He was lust
bringing his courage to the point of
veHturing to rise and back off again,
when he heard the panther scratching
on the ground. He peeped, and saw
that they were clawing up dry leaves
and bits OF brush on each side. These
they drew up about his person, and
he perceived that an effort was in pro-
gress to bury him, as something to
be kept tor future eating.
Tom lay quite still, having no de-
sire to interrupt his own obsequies,
and gradually the animals covered
him with q thin covering, mainly of
dead leaves. For some time they
sat about like two cats after
dinner. Presently one of them
uttered q plaintive little VOW! and
started to walk back to the bones OF
the deer. The other followed, and for
little while, as they walked softly
away, Tom heard them occasionally
yowing in the same plaintive, minor
key. 1t may have been kind of fe-
line requiem tor what they had buried;
or else a yawn for nap to which
their late, hearty dinner had predis-
posed Them
Tom waited only till, by the sounds,
he Judged they must be out of sight
and hearing, then slipped out of his
shallow grave, and started off toward
home at his best pace.
1t was too late when he got home
to organize panther hunt that day,
but the next day, accompanied by
his father, grandfather and several
neighbors, Tom again visited the
Click" They set several traps, but
neither OF the partners was seen or
caught.
Their odd behavior on this occasion
may set down as another OF the queer
traits which naturalists have from
time to time recorded of the felis con-
COlOr.

What 1t Would Cost.

Caroline, Queen OF George H., was
once moved by q covetousness similar
to that which melted Ahab to ask
Naboth for his vineyard adjoining the
royal palace, that he might make it
"a garden of herbs"
The queen lived in st. James pal
ace, and thought that the adjoining
St. James Park, belonging to the
public, would make it a nice palace
garden. She therefore asked the
Prime Minister, Sir Robert Walpole.
what it would cost to shut it up and
make it a royal garden.
Oh, trifle, madame; a trihe," an
swered the cynical, shrewd premier.
"a trife, Sir RobertP' replied the
queen. 81 know better. 1t will be
expensive, but l wish you to tell me
the cost as near as you can guess.
"Why. madame, believe the whole
will cost but three crowns" rejomed
the Minister, looking her calmly in
the face.
The queen, seeing that Sir Robert
meant the three crowns of England,
Scotland and Ireland, had the tact to
answer, ''Then / will think no more
! of it."

he struck near the bow, causing her
to tremble in every timber. Lance al
ter lance was hurled into the tough
hide of the whale, but seeming y with
out effect. Once more ne charged the
ship and she seemed to groan as she
received the furious onslaught.
But this blow stunned the monster,
so that he lay quietly for q moment
on the water. Taking advantage OF
the lull, young Macy jumped into the
captains gig, and shooting it directly
onto the bull he thrust his lance again
and again into his vitals. This was
too much for even his bullship, and
spouting thick clots of blood, he turn
ed over on his side and gave uD the
fight.
The Osceola was now leaking quite
badly, and unless the pumps were
quickly started she would be in dan
ger of sinking. Starbuck's face was
CHASTITY while this battle was going on
and he stood like one frozen with fear,
and when the bull was vanquished,
and he realized that the water was
pouring into the hold, he recovered
his wits, and rushing below soon had
the pumps at work. Discovering
where the seams had started, he filled
them with oakum with his own hands,
thus averting the danger.
When Elsie saw how well he had
performed this duty she determined
to say nothing about the knavish
trick at which she had caught him,
thinking that he had been punished
enough, and knowing that some OF
the seamen would be tempted to
throw the wretch overheard if they
knew ALL So she held her peace, and
it was not until years after that she
told Captain Macy, then her proud
and happy husband, why it was that
the Osceola was so unlucky on the
first part OF that eventful cruise.

POOR TIME TO SQUEAL.
How Maine Statesman Bought

and Rad TO Paw for a Load of

Representative William Engle, of
Bangor, is what is known as a self

q foreigner can, in this land; rise to
positions of honor IN business and
politics, by the pursuing of an honest

the record OF Mr.. Engle as one worthy
OF imitation.
Mr.. Engle Is an extensive lumber
operator ana one fall when up in a
clearing he ran across q man who mad
barn full OF hay to sell. 1t looked
nice on the outside, and Engle struck
q bargain whereby the man was to
press it and then deliver to Engle's
teamster for SIT per ton.
Later IN the season he went into his
camp, and there he found a lot OF
pressed wire grass, which, he said, was
not fit for q horse to sleep on.

HANK HARRIS HINT.
He Passed a Tramp and Put In a
Stroke For Himself.

For many years "Hank" Harris
held the distinguished honor OF being
the oldest conductor on the Michigan
| Central Road. He Is now on the re-
tired list, but in his time he played
many parts, and has host OF stories
about life on the road at his COM
mand. One OF these stories he told
to the rotund and smiling Jim Hitch
cock-a man who cannot walk block
in Chicago without stopping to shake
hands with a score OF friends-and
Hitchcock repeats it. 1t appears that
freight conductor on some road
down in Southern Illinois once board
ed Harris train. He had neglected
to obtain pass, but he thought II he
told the conductor who and what he
was he would have no trouble. When
he spoke to Harris the veteran con-
ductor said he was sorry, but he
must have pass to travel on
his train. The man convinced
him that he was really what
he represented himself to be, but Har-
ris said: 81 know you're all right,
my friend, but Brown has given me
positive orders in such cases" The
Brown referred to was at that time
an official of the road, and his will
was law. The jerk water conductor
said he would telegraph Brown, stat
ing the case, and he did at the next
station. Harris received an answer
instructing him to pass the man, and
he did so. The next time he called at
Browns office he was told that he
could in the future pass men whom
he was convinced were legitimate rail-
readers.
On a hot and sultry day not long
afterward Harris train stopped at
Jackson, Mich, and the old-time con-
ductor was approached on the plat
form by a poorly-clad trampish look
ing individual who tearfully begged
ride to Chicago. "You look like a
good man," he said to Harris, "and
have been trying to get to Chicago
to bury my wife, who recently died
there. | can't get pass, but wont to
see her tace once more before she's put
under the sod" This appeal touched
Harris heart. lie was family man

story and he said to him: "YoE go
forward and take a front seat IN the
smoker, P!l fix you all right" The
grateful fellow did as he was bid.
When the train pulled out OF Jackson
Harris entered the smoker and paid
no attention 10 the seedy chap. AS
it happened, Brown was in the Car.
He was enjoying cigar and he MOTTO
ed that Harris had passed man who
had boarded the train at Jackson.
When Harris came along he stopped
him and pointed the man out. you
didn't get that fellows ticket" he
said. "Oh, he's all right. You told
me to pass him." said Harris. Brown
was dumbfounded. 81 never told you

at the seedy chap and asked: ais he
