That depends, madam, upon how
you feel. If you're suffering from
functional disturbances, irregulari-
ties or weaknesses, you're sure to
"look it," And DR.. Pierce's Fa-
vorite Prescription is the remedy,
It builds up and invigorates the
system, regulates and promotes the
proper functions, and restores health
and strength. It's q legitimate
medicine, not a beverage (; purely
vegetable, perfectly harmless, and
made especially for woman's needs.
In the cure of all "female com.
plaiats," it's guaranteed to give sat-
isfaction, or the money is refunded.
No other medicine for women Is
sold so. Think of that, when the
dealer says something else (which
pays him better is "just as good"
"Times have changed" So have
methods. The modern improve
ments in pills are DR.. Pierce's Pleas
ant Pellets. They help Nature, in
stead of fighting with her. Sick
and nervous headache, biliousness,
oostiveness, and all arrangements
of the liver, stomach and bowels
are prevented, relieved, and cured.

What do you think the beautiful
word "wife" comes from? 1t is the
great word in which the English and
Latin languages conquered the French
and Greek. | hope the French will
some day get word for it instead OF
that Of femme. But what do you
think it came from? The great value
Of the Saxon words is that they mean
something. Wife means "weaver,'
You must either be housewives or
ACCOMPLISHMENTS that. In
the deep sense you must either weave
mems fortunes and enbroider them,
or feed upon and bring them to decay.
Wherever true wife comes, home is
always around her. The stars may
be over her head, the glowworm in
the nights cold grass be the fire at
her feet, but home is where she is,
and for a noble woman it stretches
far around her, better than houses
ceiled with cedar or painted with
vermilion, shedding the quiet light
for those who else are homeless. This,
/ believe, is the woman's true place
and power.-Ruskin.

With us there is, 10 say the least, q
strong aud decided prejudice In favor of
luxur ant tresses and pearly teeth. But
II Is only the pre- udice, and by no means
universal. We see no lack of beat ty In
the infants naked, rosy scalp, or In the
sweet little tooth!ess mouth We even
see kind of ma estic beauty i'm the
ivory dome that covers the sages busy

Would you think your canary or your

The pos ession of full complement of
teeth has always been regarded as an
Indispensable condition OF perfect health.
To our prehistoric ancestors, who had
no other grain mills than their molars,
it must have been so, and the modern
soldier in active service would find his
hard tack and leathery salt beef rather
unsatisfactory fare without the dental
integrity which the examining surgeon
so properly insists upon.
But the constantly improving science
of cookery supplies the remedy for the
civilian. and as to the soldier, he is, like
his teeth, relic OF undeveloped civiliz-
alton. The "dogs of war; must go, teeth
and all. Experience has demonstrated
that the luxurious diet of Civilization,
which gives so little for the teeth to do,
is, On the whole, moro conducive to

A BOYS Education.

Every craft has its comic initiation
ceremonies. The printers apprentice
is introduced to that rare specimen,
the type-louse, and sent out to borrow
a nonpareil shooting-stick. The new
Western Union messenger used to be
dispatched to buy pint Of pigeons

says the Buffalo Express.
"a kid came in here to-day" said a
Buffalo barber. ale bore a note re-
questing me to give the bearer some
strap-oil. We took him into tho
bathroom. One of the men held his
hands, another his heels, while / ap-
piled a strap where it would do the
most good. He went away cursing
and throwing stones. We don't know
who sent him to us, and probably
never will know, but he evidently
worked in barber shop, so we did our
plain duty by him."

American Wheat Fields.

No sight is more satisfying to the far
mer, who has toiled early and late at
blowing, pulverizing and seeding, than
field OF ripened wheat ready for the
sickle. His accustomed eye can foretell
almost to tho bushel the prospective
yield, and he knows that with wheat, as
with men, the high, straight, stiff-neck-
ed heads, with all their show Of bravado,
hold not for him one-tenth the treasure
that the swaying, bent heads hold.
There is no record OF the introduction
OF wheat into the western hemisphere
before the sixteenth century. Humboldt
writes that negro slave belonging to
Cortez first brought it accidentally in
rice into Mexico from Spain. Humboldt
also saw at Quito an earthen vessel in
which monk was said to have
brought from Client the first wheat
sown in South America. The first
harvest in the United States was
from seed Sown on the Eliza
beth Islands, Mass, by Gosneld in 1902,

Polite Fibbing.

1t is not well to aim at so refined an
ideal of politeness that one becomes un-
able to expires SIS an honest opinion. The
guests easiest to entertain are those not
only pleased with the goods their hosts
provide but who, If choice Of pleasures
is offered them, profess candid prefer
ence.
A certain cd gentleman tells the fol-
lowing sto;y Of entrapping himself by
an untruth, at the dictates Of polite
ness:
He was visiting at the house of q
Quaker friend, whore the dessert Of pie
was plac cd upon the dinner table with
the preceding courses. When the meat
had gone round the hostess said to her
guest:
"Does thee like clean plate for thy
pie?"
Now, the guest did particularly appre-
ciate change of dishes; it was indIs-
pcnsabie to the enjoyment Of his dinner;
but he wished to do nothing contrary to
the customs of tho house.
"Oh, no, thank you," he said: 81 like to
make one plate serve for everything"
"Thee isn't like me-" quietly replied
his host, taking q pile Of unused dishes
from side table. Il like a clean
plate.
So did the hostess, it appeared, for she
also took one, and the two enjoyed their
orderly dessert, while the guest was
forced TO be content with the tate he
had brought upon himself.-Household

belt of land, VIII CHI is three hundred
miles wide, sweeps from this boundary
given, along the course of the SaSkatche-
wan River, northwestward TO the Rocky
Mountains, and includes an area Of over
200, 600, 600 acres The discovery OF the
wheat fields of California, though lack
ing much Of the romance and glamour
which naturally grew about the discov-
cry of gold. has done quite as much to
build up the State. The brown, barren
fields Of the southern part were mislead-
ing, but by irrigation they have been
made wonderfully productive, while
around the Bay Of San Fran
cisco the winter rains and summer
fogs afford sufficient moisture. When
harvest time approaches the rivers are
dotted with sails, and from every part OF
the world ships are sent for cargoes OF
the California wheat, which is peculiar
for its hardness and whiteness. 1t is so
hard that 1t must be thoroughly wet be-
fore grinding, and the weevil, that trou-
b.esome pest, so common to wheat will
not touch it. 1t often remains in sacks,
lying uncovered on the open field for
months at time without injury. In
1895, IL Is estimated that "a, 097 bushels
were raised in California. The cultiva-
ton of wheat was introduced into the
State by the early missionaries, and
despite the rude machinery, wheat grow
ing could have become quite extensive,
had not the gold fever crowded out all
efforts in agricultural lines. The first

When Gen. Butler Was Admitted.

Morse, "had each studied law fol
