Harsh, But

"Ho," said we'll known statesman,
II shall never believe that woman has
the proper judgment and sense to cast
a ballot, or interfere in politics, while
she is so weak minded as to passively
suffer, year after year, from diseases
leculiar to females, when every news
paper she picks up tells of the merits
of DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription.
Not to take advantage OF this remedy
is certainly an indication of mental
weaknessl"
There is wholesome kernel of truth
inside the rough shell of this ungal-
liant speech. The "Favorite Prescrip-
ton" is invaluable in all uterine
troubles, infammations, alterations,
displacements, nerve us disorders, pros
tration, exhaustion or hysteria. For
run down, WORKOUT women, no more
strengthening tonic or nervine is
known.

The number Of eclipses in any year can
not be less than two, and these both of the
sun. Nor eau there ever be in one year
more than sevens in which case there will be
five of the sun and two Of the moon. and
those Of the moon will be total.
Eclipses of the sun are more frequent than
those Of the moon, for the solar ecllptic limit
eclipses of the moon are visible because she
can be seen from the whole hemisphere next
to her, while an eclipse of the sun can be
seen only along narrow belt of country
lying along border Of the moons shadow
as it is projected on the earth.
Eclipses have always been looked upon as
among the most interesting aud wonderful
phenomena of nature. Before the true
cause was ascertained they were thought to
be supernatural, and they were viewed with
apprehension and alarm. 1t was believed
that they were produced by the Immediate
interposition of God as token of his dis
pleasure. When the sun was totally eclipsed
it was imagined by the ignorant that God
had turned away his face in adherence of
some atrocious crime that had been COM
mitted, and that he threatened mankind
with everlasting night. When the Modes
and Persians, several centuries before
Christ, were preparing to engage in a furf-
Gus combat. they were SO alarmed at an
eclipse which happened at the time that the
warriors on both sides laid down their arms
and entered into treaty of peace.
But the superstitions of the long ago are
passing away and now eclipses of the sun
and moon are looked forward to as rare
events by school children. They are con-
templated simply from a scientific stand
point, while the active business man hardly
knows they have come and gone save by
the notices be sees in his daily paper.

The Exciting Experience of a Boy in
Georgia.
SYLvAEIA, Ga, Nov. 6.-Young Stafford
Jenkins who lives at Egypt. this county, and
goes to school in Sylvauia, had very ex-
citing experience with an alligator, while
driving from his home here to-day. The
old saurian was lying by the side Of thu
road, summing himself and Stafford thought
he was dead. Asst was the largest one he
had ever seen he thought he would measure
1t, and accordingly got out OF the buggy
and, getting fence rail for measuring
rod, he laid it down alongside the sleeping
alligator.
1t was ten-foot rail, and tie end reached
little over half way along bis body. Stat
ford pulled IL up for second measurement,
and was just cutting notch in the rail at
the end Of the animals head when the gator
awoke and yawned.
To say the boy was frightened would but
feebly express it. He says II seemed to him
that be was at the mouth of some dark and
lonely cave. He recovered sufficiently be-
fore the alligator was completely awake to
spring for the buggy and put whip to the
horse. BY this time, however, the alligator
was alive to the situation. and gave hot
pursuit. For nearly two mikes pursuer and
pursued went at lightning speed down the
road, the distance neither lessening nor in-
creasing between themS Finally they came
upon party Of men, and the mad saurian
halted. The party gathered poles and fence
rails, and advanced TO attack him
terrific fight ensued, and fora while it
looked as If the half dozen men, would be
vanquished and destroyed. Sometimes.
with q sweep Of his infatuated tail, the ALI
gator would cut completely Ia half rail in
the hands Of one Of his opponents. At last
one Of the crowd very thoughtfully punched
out the eyes Of he3nionster, and9 after that
he was soon conauered.1 s The alligator, they
say, measured after he vas dead, over six
teen feet IN length, and as to his circum.
