Weak Women.

The more sensitive nature of the fe-
male sex renders women, much more
susceptible than men to those numerous
ills which spring from lack of harmony
in the system. The nervous system
gives way, sics headache is frequent, the
appetite is lost, and other ailments pc
culiar to the sex cause great suffering.
Hoods Sarsaparilla is peculiarly adapt
ed for such cases, and has received the
most gratifying praise for the relief it
has afforded thousands of women whose
very existence before taking it was only
misery. 1t strengthens the nerves, cures
sick headache and indigestion. purifies
and vitalizes the blood, and gives regu-
lar snd healthy action to every organ in
the body.

NAMING THE BABY.
How Very Perplexing Question was Easi-
~ and satisfactorily Settled.

How Very PerpIexing Question was Easi-
~ and satisfactorily Settled.
what shall we name the baby?''
This is what Papa Brown said every
night when he came home from bust
ness. Every morning, when Mamma
Brown held up the baby for a good-by
kiss, she said
what shall we name The baby?'
For the matter was this: There was
no name good enough for the baby!
Still. it was too bad always to call such
a darl-eyed, pink-cheeled little beauty
just Baby Brown" So everyone sat
down and thought over all the sweet
sounding girl names in the dictionary;
but none of these would do. Then
Mamma Browns friends called on her
in the daytime, and Papa Browns
friends came in the evening" and they
talked all day and all night; but still
they could not get the right name.
The matter must be settled soon, for
the baby had been growing out of her
long clothes. while these not very short
discussions had been going on. Great
aunt Mehitable came one day, and the
baby was more than usually attractive.
She dimpled and chirped and wrinkled
her little brows, till Great-aunt Me-
hitable said:
I'D be willing to have the baby
called after me. Give her my full
name and She shall have my silver
spoons when She is married
When Papa Brown heard Of the offer
he exclaimed;
"The full name! That means for
my little blossom to be called Mehita-
BILE Green Brown. Never r And
Mamma Brown echoed. Never, never,
never :"
The baby grew taller and stronger,
and the curly rings all over her head
reached down into her neck. Every
week some name was tried but none
seemed to fit her, She began TO talk
little; then she walked Il few steps
Perhaps the baby would have gone on
growing till she was as big and as wise
as her mother, and still have lad no
name, if something had not happened
Papa Brown sailed away one day
Spain The people over there are
Spaniards and talk in a different Ian
guage from our own. Among these
strangers, and away from home and
Mamma Brown, poor Papa Brown was
taken very, very ILL., But a kind Span
ish woman took care Of him, and when
he could write all about it he said that
if it had not been for this good care he
should never have been well again.
Then he said he would like to have the
baby named after the Spanish nurse.
Bonita Brown! 1t was queer name
for an American baby but it seemed to
suit the dark eyes and curly hair.
Whenever Mamma Brown heard it
spoken she thought of the kind foreign
err who had saved Papa Browns life.
So the baby was named at last, and
everybody was pleased except Great
aunt Mehitable!-Aiiee NJ. Kellogg, in

THE SUCCESSFUL PouLTERER,

ALWAYS separate any fowls that show
any indication of sickness.
OATS are a good feed to make bone
and muscle, but not for egg production.
A CHANGE of food is desirable. as the
fowls tire of one kind if given too long.
A IrrLE flaxseed meal will be found
valuable TO add to the regular morning
feed.
liz the fowls refuse their feed, or dc
not eat it up clean, let them miss meal
or two.
ONE object in feeding IS TO get an in
crease in size as much as possible, but
at low cost.
SAVE the egg shells, put them in the
oven and burn them brown; then mash
them fine and mix with the feed. 1t is
healthy and beneficial to the FOWLS.

DU ROSES SANITY.
His Case Is Being Argued to the
Jury.

There are three trials for murder in
progress before the Superior Court, and in
every case the defense is insanity. One of
these is Du Roses case. 1t is the most SEN
satiOnal in character, and daily draws a
packed house to Judge TrOutts courtroom,
among whom are many women.
The prosecution introduced expert medi-
cal testimony yesterday in rebuttal to the
defense of insanity set up by Robert Du
Rose. Doctors j. II. Stallard, H. C. Bowie,
Abraham b. Arnold and Francis ID. Gilbert
were the witnesses
Assistant District Attorney Hinckle had
long hypothetical question written out,
which lie propOunded in turn to all of the
doctors. The question began with the birth
of The defendant, and did not end Till it re-
cited all the details of the crime for which
he is now on trial, the shooting of his wife,
Lizzie Du Rose. in an ElliS-street lodging
house.
"Do you think such man, acting under
those circumstances, WAS insane and incapa-
Bile of distinguishing right from wrong '
was the concluding clause of the hypOtheti-
cal query.
In every instance the medical men were
not slow IN returning negative answer.
Some Of them, however, felt called upon to
remark that while they had no doubt Of the
defendants sanity they did think he lad
sufficient provocation for his act
Both sides rested at the conclusion of the
medical testimony and Mr.. Hinckle began
his opening address for the people. He said
the jury should not consider either the ac-
tons of Mitchell, the paramour, or the err
ing wife. He had no words to say in de-
Tense of MitchelPs conduct 1t was nothing
that it should have been, but all that it
should not have been. 1t was clear, though,
that Mitchell told the truth when on the
stand. As to the wife, where had she
ity? From her husband, who had shot her
for the very wrong he was once guilty Of
when she was a mere girl of 10 years.
The arguments for the defense will be
made To-day

How Probate Cases VIII in Future Be

How Probate Cases VIII in Future Be
Assigned.
The dispute over the assignments of
probate cases was definitely settled yester-
day afternoon by a eonyocation of the judges
of the Superior Court.
All were present when the meeting was
called to order except Judge Levy, who
purposely staid away as a matter of pro-
priety. the meeting having been called to
consider an order made by him when he
occupied the position of Presiding Judge.
Noting the absence Judge Wallace sent
messenger especially requesting Judge
Levys attendance, and q few moments later
the bench was assem- bled
The matter of dividing tho probate cases
was thoroughly canvasSed ana finally set
tied by the decision that, as heretofore, all
probate cases Will be assigned to DEPART
meuts and 10-Judges Coffey and Levy
but with this difference, that each case will be
signed in person by the Presiding Judge.
This Will take tht matter entirely out of
the clerk S hands, who, acting under the old
order OF Judge Levy, had been in the habit
of assigning the probate cases to Judges
C0ifey and Levy on alternate weeks. en-
maSSe, without regard to the nature of the
cases or the fact that proceedings in a case
might have already been Instituted in another
department from the one assigned by reason
of the time the second papers were filed.
This matter was first called to Judge
Wallace'S attention by the fact that the first
papers fled in the Swift estate-thoSe in
which tue Public Administrator asked for
especial letters of Observation-Disclosures
filed in Judge Coffey's department, and that
the protest of Mrs. Swift's attorney and his
request for general letters to a sister of
Mrs. Swift were assigned by the clerk, under
the Old rule. to Judge Levy.
