We've heard OF a woman who said

We've heard OF u woman who said
she'd walk five miles to get bottle of
DIR. Pierce's Favorits Prescription if
she couldn't get it without. That
woman had tried it. And it's medi-
cine which makes itself felt i'm toning
cp the system and correcting irregu-
larities as soon as its use is begun. Go
to your drug store. pay a dollar, get a
bottle and try it-try a second. a third
if necessary. Before the third ones
been taken you'll know that there's
a remedy to help you. Then you'll
keep on and a cure III come. But if
you shouldn't feel the help, should be
disappointed inthe result-you'llt find u
guarantee printed on the bottle-wrap-
per that'll get your money back for
you.
How many women are there who'd
rather have the money than health3
And "Favorite Prescription" produces
health. Wonder is that there's wo-
man willing to suffer when there's q
guaranteed remedy in the nearest
drug store.

Protecting Buildings From Fire.

An interesting method of preventing a
building from catching fire when ada
cent buildings are burning has been
adopted in the Offices of Glasgow
(Scotland) paper. There is already in
the building an efficient installation of
automatic sprinklers for extinguishing
fires which may come from within; but
it is considered that there is just as much
danger, if not more, from fires original
ing elsewhere. A supply pipe is there
fore taken from the water tower which
feeds the sprinklers and connected with
a system of perforated malleable iron
pipes which are carried along the ridge
of the roof, the caves and all over the
windows. The pipes are usually kept
absolutely dry, and to prevent their rust
ing they are coated with zinc. A pump
is provided for forcing the water through
the system of pipes, and it can be brought
into action almost instantaneously. The
exterior of the building receives such a
constant flooding when the pump is in
action that there is absolutely no danger
from an adjacent tire.-Courier- Journal

AMERICAN GIRLS AND THEIR VOICES

Nine Fursch- Madi, woman of many
talents, chief of which is pure soprano
voice, has settled down in this city and
taken charge of the vocal department of
one of the city colleges.
"Voice culture, she said, "is difficult
work. There is no reason why America
should not produce some really great
singers. There are many grand voices
in America, but American girls do not
seem to care to become great singers.
They do not like to study.
If "a girl is blessed by nature with a
voice, She mus. study hard to cultivate
it, not study systematically, but go at it
with determination and keep at it. OF
course she should begin right. There is
a right way and wrong way to begin,
and it does seem to me often that some
of our girls have poor advisers and poor
teachers A new method? Oh, dear
me, no. There is only one method and
that is first voice, and second proper
cultivation and study. All the great
singers of the world know this to be
true. 1t is the only way to succeed. y

SHE MINES FOR GOLD.

Mrs. Emily Knight, of Tacoma, Wash
ingtop, is gold-miner and quite sue
cessful one, too, it appears from all
reports. She already owns properties in
the Gold Hill district valued at several
hundred thousand dollars, but which she
has bonded for $4,000 in order to fur
ther improve and develop them. Mrs.
Knight says she follows the life of miner
because she likes il and finds it fascn-
ating and profitable business. She was
born in Lancashire, England, but has
lived in this country some years, princi-
pally during her residence in the East, at
Boston, whore her daughter now resides.
She has Travelled all over the United
States; was in the San Diego real estate
boom and made considerable money be-
fore the crash came, and then shrewdly
refused to invest there. She has resided
until this last mining venture for two
years in Seattle, making more money in
real estate and business enterprises.
She seems to be in perfect health. Mrs.
Knight shares the honor of Mrs Hensley
known among tho miners of Castle, Mont
as Little Dot" of being the only female
miners in the world. Little Dot" is
about thirty years old, and untilher mar
riage with James Hensley year age
has been miner, or rather mineress
for the past ten years, doing all the work
herself
She was shut off from civilization dur
ing all that time, wearing mems clothes
and working in her mines with pick anc
shovel, not seeing the face of woman fol
many years, and very seldom meeting
even man. She accumulated property
rapidly, and when she took to herself i
husband this plucky little woman was
worth at least $4,000. In Montana
"Little Dot" is as well-known and re-
spected as Mrs. Knight, of Tacoma anG

Fashion in Canes.

Fashion is very arbitrary in the mat.
ter of canes. Sometimes the faultlessly
dressed young man does not carry one at
all, while in other seasons he will never
be seen without one. Then in the canes
themselves the changes from season to
season are very marked. About three
years ago almost every stylish young
man carried a cane with gold head,
real or imitation. Then suddenly the
fashion changed and large horn handles
became correct. Then silver headed canes
had their day, and now the gold head is
exclusively used again in the East.--Son

Cooking For a Commodore.

Antonio Doliviera Botheilhle, chief
at the Quincy House, Boston, saio the
other day: 81 think one of the best
schools for man who would please
many fastldious tastes in cooking is on
board a United States steamship on a
cruise to foreign parts. 1 was born in
the Azores, but l didn't have much
expeience until l went around in the
United States ship Constellation. L was
not cook for the sailors, nor for the
officers, but for one man. That was the
commodore. My experience is that a
commodore is usually hard man to
please in the matter of cooking. l
cooked for several commodores-about
half a dozen-in my service OF six or
seven years. Generally commodore IS
a man of good taste in the matter OF
food, and quite as generally he is a man
of decided opinion in regard to certain
dishes. He has great deal of time to
devote in the course of cruise to the
matter of dining and he becomes an
expert after while. Then, again, he
visits many foreign ports, and he becomes
acquainted WltlI lOlCi5i "NA<
foreign methods of cooking. He com.
municates his knowledge to his cook,
and on the return journey the cook is
supposed to give examples of the newly
acquired knowledge. The cook in
foreign port learns for himself the native
methods, and if he is bright man ne
can do much to make himself indispen-
sable to his Commodore. My practice
was to learn as much as | could about
French and German and Italian and
Spanish and other dishes, and very often
in the middle of dreary return voyage
have surprised the Commodore with
much admired dish after the most ap-
proved Italian method. There is moth
ing that will dissipate enuui so rapidly
and completely as the proper appeal to
an enducated and sensitive stomach,
and there is no occasion SO favorable to
such an appeal as in the weary hours
on shipboard. -.San Francisco Chronicle.

THE MILITARY CAPE.

The military cape is just now one of
the fashionable fads. 1t appears on the
newest listers and it figures for evening
wear. Harper's Bazar says of III For
evening capes this design is repeated in
cream colored or beige cloth lined with
ermine, the upper cape banded with
ermine, showing the black 'taillettes'
which mark this royal fur. Very elab-
crate capes of royal purple or of violet
cloth combine lace with fur in the trim
ming, having tho upper cape of black
lace headed with mink tail or sable fur
Black cloth military capes have the
shorter elbow cape of black velvet, with
collar and borders of Persian lamb"
