AS an invigorating, restorative tonic,
soothing cordial and bracing nervine, for
debilitated and feeble women generally,
DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription has no
equal. In fact, it is the only medicine for
the peculiar weaknesses and ailments Incl
dent to females, sold by druggists, under q
positive guarantee from its manufacture
ers, that it will, in every case, give satisfac-
ton or its price (S1.00) will be promptly
refunded. 1t improves digestion, invigor-
ates the system, enriches the blood, dispels
aches and pains, produces refreshing sleep,
dispels melancholy and nervousness, and
builds up both the flesh and strength of
those reduced below a healthy standard.
Contains no alcohol to inebriate ; no syrup
or sugar to sour or ferment in the stomach
and cause distress. 1t is as peculiar in its
composition as it is marvellous in its rene
dial results. Therefore, don't be put off
with some worthless compound easily, but
dishonesty, recommended to be "just as
good" that the dealer may make more
profit. "Favorite Prescription is inconl-
parable. The manufacturers unprece-
denied offer to guarantee satisfaction in
every case, or money refunded, ought to
convince every invalid of this fact.

from yours. Here | was writing these
very words as you came in: This

many joys, etc, he read from the sheet
he held in his hand, then thre7y it down
on the table.
Dan laughed heartily and, settled
himself in the comfortable chair by the
table. The two men were in one of
the writing-rooms of tho Union League
Club, and the hour was, perhaps, five
or little after The sunlight was still
bright on Fifth avenue, and the cease
less roll of passing carriages was heard.
1t was just the glorious day and hour
when fashion was abroad, and some
thing of d. Harrington Lees feelings
might be surmised as he drew from his
pocket a ragged scarlet object and ex-
hibited it to his friend, saying:
would you love the First of April if
you had walked up Fifth avenue with
that pinned to your coat-tail?"
Philip shouted as loudly as any
member is ever allowed to shout in the
reading-room of the club, his mirth,
doubtless, modified by his sense of the
surroundings, not from any lack of
humor in the cause. There in his hand
was bit of flannel, from which dangled
many long ends of the same material.

is unquestionably quite an essential factor
in the makeup of a fashionably attired
lady. But how much more essential to
good looks, and especially to her enjoyment,
is good health, without which she cannot
look well, feel well or enjoy life properly.
The trying ordeals which Fashionable soci-
ETY. imposes on its devotees are enough to
severely test the physical strength and en-
durance of the most robust. Irregular and
late hours, over-rich and indigestible food,
late suppers, the fatigue of the ballroom,
the bad air of the illy-ventilated, over
crowded theatre, are each, in themselves,
sufficient to upset the system and ruin the
health of the delicate and sensitive. Com
bined, they can hardly fail, if persisted in,
to seriously impair the health of the hardi-
est. Ladies generally possess less powers of
endurance than their male consorts and so
the sooner succumb to these deleterious in
fuences. They become pale, haggard and
debilitated, and constantly experience a
sense of lassitude-that 1" tired feeling" as
SO many express is. The least exertion
fatigues them. Various neuralgia and other
pains harrass and distress the sufferer.

SPANS YOUNG KING.
The Baby Ruler and His Cat, and the Beg
gar Maiden.

The Baby Ruler and His Cat, and the Beg
gar Maiden.
Stories of the little King of Spain are
in order now that his recovery has been
assured, and several new ones have come
out. The young King, as is well known,
has been brought up in strictly family
way, and very much as any other young
person of good birth in his kingdom.
His mother has very sensibly forbidden
the Juggling in of the royal features of
his life any more frequently than the
absolute necessities of the strict rules of
the Spanish court etiquette required,
and except on the occasion of state cere-
monials young Alphonso has been at
tended almost entirely by his mother
and by the stalwart peasant nurse who
has been his companion from his earli-
est babyhood to his present comparative
ly mature age of four years. During his
illness she and the Queen were constant
ly at the little fellows bedside, and
about the only other living creature so
constantly in the room was cat The
young King, before his sickness, had be-
gun to tire of his baby playthings that
had been at his command, and, seeking
other toys, let his fancy light upon a
Maltese cat that he saw somewhere
about the palace. The animal at once
became a creature of distinguished con-
sideration in the royal household. 1t an
swered to the name of Perico. The rib
bon upon its neck was tied there by the
King himself, and when he was taken
sick the King insisted that pussy should
be in the room with him. So. for full
month the faithful cat was constantly in
ethe sick chamber. Naturally the animal
became a great fayorite, and one of the
high ladies at the court made for it an
Embroidered cushion upon which it slept.
Another story from the sick room, and
one that has more of the flavor usually
found in stories of royal infants, George
Washington and other lofty personages,
deals with a little crippled girl whom
the King met on one OF his walks or lldes
about with his nurse before he was taken
| sick and to whom, seeing often again,
1 he had taken fancy. 1t came to be
that whenever the King in his outings
saw the little cripple he would make one

carriage and carry some little gift to
her. When he had been sick for while
ne said to his mother one day:
"What will become of my little Grip
! Die and what will she eat now that GO
out no more?"
Bread" said the Queen, like all the
ooor people; that is, if she can get it. :"
81 am too little to command" said the
King. -
"As it is to do good" replied the
Queen, 81 will permit you to give Or
iers."
The King, at this, said nothing, but
he next day he had taken to the little
i)eggar the bonbens some one had sent
o himself.

THE NEW FORCE BILL.

How the Extraordinary Measure IL Re-

Mr.. john II. Lynch, the colorcd
Representative from Mississippi,
and now fourth auditor of the treas
Hy, writes an cXcrcd!ngly lengthy
communication to the Post in favor
OF the proposed federal election law.
Mr.. Lynch is one oF the ablcst of the
colorcd politicians of the South. or
rather he was, for practically WASH
lngton has been his abiding place for
a number of years, and the only in
he appears to take in his race is when
he writes an occasional letter or
makes an occasional speech on South
crn affairs. He is thorough politi-
clan. and Il professional colorcd poll
tlclan can not be expected to give
good advice to his people. There arc
no strong points in his argument in
favor Of another force bill tt pro
cccds on the old assumption that the
colorcd voters of the South are never
to have anylibcrty of opinion. but arc
to be forever chained to the hind
| wheel of the Republican party. In
opposition to Mr.. Lynch the voice of
Il great many of the real representa-
tivCS OF his race have been raised

own people. But the most signiti-
cant circumstance about this whole
matter of new federal election
machinery is to be found in the strong
objections raised by many of the
prominent white Republicans of the
Southern States. The most sagacious

questions very seriously the wisdom

for the bill arose chiefly from the con
dition of affairs in the South, and
upon being challenged for spccifica
ton by Southern members he gave
instances in Alabama, Georgia, Mis-

the country and education would
bring about the same results, and
relief then would be permanent. The
bill was not general and uniform. He
questioned the right to make a law

bring about Il conflict OF authority

might bring about dcplorablc state

forced when moral sentiment was so
low as to favor corrupt elections and
when that sentiment was elevated
the law would be unnecessary
Tucker, of Virginia, opposed the
bill specifically and generally. He
claimed that it gave supervisors the
right to determine the qualifications
OF electors, right reserved by the
Constitution to the States.

The prison mirror. [volume] (Stillwater, Minn.) 1887-1894, 1890-06-12

correspondent writing from Italy gives some
interesting details of the treatm ent of prisoners
on various Italian islands he visited while on a
trip in the Mediterranean. Each of these islands
contains several hundred prisoners, who are
locked up every night at sunset, released at day
break and locked up again from midday until two
O'Clock. During the night no prisoner is allowed
to be absent under any circumstances but at mid
day those who work on farms at distance from
the prison are allowed to remain out by special
permission from the director. During these free
hours the prisoners 60 anywhere they like on
the island and engage in any work offered
them by the townspeople or farmers. Any infrac-
ton of the rules of ordinary life around them, or
of their prison. is punished by seclusion in special
cells.
The government furnishes physic ans and med
cines. summer and winter suit of clothes to
each prisoner each year. and allows each ten
cents daily in money for his food and other neces
sites of life. Danger of escape is prevented by
a squad of soldiers, one to every ten criminals.
and swift sailing felucca, manned by marines.
On account of the cheapness of labor the islands
are so highly cultivated to resemble gardens.
The correspondent adds: 'As for the prisoners.
the open air makes them the healthiest Of any
their faces and bodies of that prison blight which
strikes every visitor to ordinary jas or peniten-
taries. Fresh. open country air, sea bathing, and
contact with honest men, women and children,
among whom these criminals must live and be-
have themselves properly, remind them that they
are not simply jail birds. but that. guided by a
feeling of humanity, society allows them to hang
on its skirts without utterly casting them out.
The look of these prisoners were so different from
those of any had ever seen before that the ques-
ton forced itself on me whether any better NOR
alizer and redeemer of criminals can be found
than this fresh. open country air and its concom-
itants."
While this picture seems somewhat too idyllic
to be reproduced in this country, it is very in
teresting and encouraging one, and contains sug-
gestons OF the utmost value in the solution of the
weighty problem of the extent to which reforma-
tory discipline shall supersede actual punish
ment in the future treatment of criminals.-New
York Commercial Advertiser.
