Only few months ago these romping. rosy checked lasses were puny, delicate. pale, sickly girls. By the aid of Dr. Pierce's worid-famed Favorite Prescription, they have blossomed out into beautiful, plump, hale, hearty, strong young women.
 "Favorite Prescription is an invigorating, restorative tonic and as regulator and pro- moter of functional action at that critical period of change from girlhood to woman hood. it is a perfectly safe remedial agent, and can produce only good results. It is care fully compounded, by an experienced and .ktllful physician. and adapted to womans delicate organization. It is purely vegetable in its composition and perfectly harmless in any condition of the system. It imparts worked.

As result we believe they will agree with us that in the DEMOCRAT they will find the best and most promising medium for making known the details of their business. And we can assure them that their contracts with us will never be violated by a succession Of shifting from one field to another, with the consequent unsettling of popular confidence and incidentally of the value of their contracts.

INDUSTRIOUS INDIVIDUALS.

DON JOSE ZoRRIL1A, who was recently crowned poet laureate of Spain, is a short, slender old man, seventy-two years of age.
 IT is not generally known that Mir. Glad stone has only three fingers on his left hand. The index finger was shot of forty seven years ago by an accident in the hunt ing field.
 OLIVER WENDELL HOLMES says that in re- viewing his life he finds that he has taken more interest in surgery than in poetry, but he realizes that his fame will rest upon the efforts of his pen, not of his knife.
 HENRY PRICE, ''the father of Masonry in America, ," died in Townsend, Mass, in 17sO. Now, rather tardily, 8 monument has been erected over his grave. The location is prominent and over looks the farm where Price spent his last years.
 MARTIN FARQUHAR TUPPER, the author of "Proverbial Philosophy" lives in a hand some country house in England. He bears a striking resemblance to Longfellow in his old age. Tupper does not agree with his old schoolfellow, Gladstone, on the question of home rule
 HANNIBAL HAML1N Is eighty-one years old, but preserves his vitality and strength to a remarkable degree. He loves to work in surround his cozy home at Bangor, Maine, and not iutrequently takes walks of ten or fifteen miles in day.
 GENERAL EDWARD GEORGE WASHINGTON BUTLER Is the oldest living graduate of West Point Military Academy. He was gradu- ated in the class of 1918. General Butler now lives in St. Louis, and is an encyclo- psedia of American history in the first part of the present century. ,-. GENERAL SHERMAN and his niece attended bail in the Catskills one evening. When they entered the hall the orchestra sus- pended the dance music long enough to play ''Marchiug Through Georgia" General Sherman was much delighted, having never before heard the stirring air.
 M. JULES SIMON, the eminent French statesman, has quiet dignity, ease, a cool bead and the faculty to simulate warmth and genuine emotion. As a speaker he steers clear of Reclamation, and can draw at will on veins of irony and sarcasm, which he gently infuses and as if in a casual way. SOME of the greatest men the world ever saw were superstitious. Napoleon Bona parte was believer in omens. The great Duke of Wellington would not offer battle | on any day that he met or saw 8 yellow dog | cross his path, Hannibal used to get out of his bed backwards so as to insure good luck for the day, and Frederick the Great carried rabbits foot to guard against evil
 GENERAL SHERIDAN, it is said, left very little money. He owned house in Wash ington. presented to him by admiring friends, and valued at s49, GOO. His cottage | at Nonquitt is not wholly paid for, and his ranch and Chicago property are only an ex- pense. He carried life-insurance policy of about 900, which will be all the ready | money his widow has, for his salary barely paid the expense of his living, as it was necessary for man in his position to live well and hospitably.
