Women are not slow to comprehend
They're quick. They're alive, and
vet it was man who discovered the
one remedy for heirpeculiar ailments.
The man was DR.. Pierce.
The discovery was his "Favorite
Prescription "-the boon to delicate
women. Why go round "with one
foot in the grave" suffering in silence
misunderstood there's rem
edy at hand that isn't an experiment,
but which is sold under the guarantee
that if you are disappointed in any
way in it, you can get your money
back by applying to its makers.
We can hardly imagine a woman's
not trying it. Possibly it may be
true Of one or two-but we doubt it.
Women are ripe for it. They must
have it. Think Of a prescription and
nine out often waiting for it. Garry

why Women Have Beautiful Hair.


Women have been ridiculed by men
on account Of the absurd little bonnets
they wear, and the gentle creatures
have patiently endured the criticism
because they knew the bonnets were
becoming. But now it appears that
the wealth Of lovely hair which the
crownless bonnet reveals is really the
result in many cases of the very light
ness and inefciency Of protection the
tiny covering provides. Air and sun
shine are really the best promoters Of
growth and beauty Of coloring in the
hair, and if men would wear a crown
less or perforated hat instead Of shut
ting the hair up in an unventilated
tunnel every time they 60 into the air
there would be fewer bald pates in the
front rows. Revenge is sweet, Art
lists tell us that woman's hair is grow
ing more beautiful in texture and
color, while every one knows a man
past forty without bald spot is rare.

Such as DR.. Dio Lewis, Prof. Gross,

a local but a constitutional disease.

catarrh. Thousands praise it.

remedies having failed, and DR.. H.

made preparation which cured his
only child of Consumption. His child
is now in this country, and enjoying

FAMOUS AMERICAN BELLS.
A Pretty Legend About the Old "SIa
BeII"-The Oldest Peal.

A Pretty Legend About the Old slave
BelI'-The Oldest Peal
The subject of bells has always been a
fascinating one and fayorite with poets
and romantic writers. Our own Long
fellow wrote no less than nine poems on
this subject, among them THE Belfry Of
Bruges," The Bells of Lynn 1.-The Song
Of the Bel" The Bells of st. Bias" and
"The Bells of Atri." There are good many
bells in America with a history and more
nr less legendary lore connected with them.
A writer in The Christian at Work, from
which the accompanying cut is reproduced.
makes some interesting statements in re-
gard to these, among which occur the fol
lowing:
The old slave bell exhibited in 1876 at the
Centennial exposition had served for many
years TO call to work the $50 slaves in the
Fontaihbieau sugar plantation of Louisi-
ana. A striking point of resemblance be
tween the "slave bell" and the liberty bell
Is in the fact that each has assure in the
side. Concerning the fissure in the slave
bell pretty legend Is related:
The bell stood IN the center of the plan
tation and was pealed to summon the force
of slaves to and from their work Early in
the morning it's changing reused the ten
ants of the quarters to their daily tasks,
and at eventide its silvery notes announced
that the hour for rest had come. Faith
fully did the bell perform its duty till the
day when President Lincoln's emancipa-
ton proclamation was sounded through the
land. Then the heart of the bell broke for
very JOY. Atall events. assure was found
IN its side the very next day.

PEAL OF BELLS AT ST AUGUSTINE.
Apropos of the Centennial exposition, 1t
may be added that number of interesting
bells will be on exhibition in Chicago in
1898. One of them. now in the city of Wash
ington, is said to have once hung in the
tower of a church built by Columbus at
Isabella, Santo Domingo, the first Euro
pean settlement in the New World
Probably the oldest peal in America is
one of four bells hanging In the quaint
belfry of the Spanish cathedral at St
Augustine. Fla. They bear the date Of
1852. Another old bell is the property of q
Catholic church at Kaskaskia, Ills 1t
was presented to the parish by King Louis
of France, IN l74l. The largest bell in
America is the one in the Cathedral of
Notre Dame, at Montreal. 1t was cast in
England in lS47, and weighs 1917 tons
1t is said the largest bell ever made in
this country weighed q, 900 pounds, and
before it was fractured hung on the city
hall in New York. On one or two occa
sions this bell was heard up the Hudson
river thirteen miles in the night, when the
city was comparatively quiet.
The chime in Trinity church, New York
is probably the best in the country. The
largest bell of the little group in Trinity
church was cast in ls45. Grouped around
it are other bells, decreasing regularly in
size to the smallest which weighs scarcely
100 pounds. These lesser bells are well
worth the looking at 'In good old COLONY
times" they crossed the seas. eight of them
in company "a present from good Queen
Anne TO her loyal subjects in the New
World. and il is recorded that they were
