a DAsTARDLY CRIME.-A most das-
tardly crime is reported from Black
burn, England Near there resides a
farmer named Barnes, who had a
daughter, young and beautiful girl,
who was well known and universally
liked in the neiGhborhood. Yesterday
her body, still warm, was found near
her fathers home Her face had been
battered to . Jelly, apparently with Il
bludgeon. / handkerchief was found
in her mouth, where her assailant had
stuffed it to prevent her cries for assist
ance being heard. Hee clothing was
torn and aisarranged and the p ice
Nncle the body was found showed
signs Of desperate struggle. 4 medi-
cal examination revealed the fact that
the girl had been outraged. Every
thing goes to show that she had made a
long struggle to save herself from the
clutches of her assailant, and that the
latter, after accomplishing his purpose,
had killed her to escape arrest. The
police are securing the country for her
murderer.

A EssNoMoUs BTRD.-But one species
of yenomous bird is known to the stu
dent OF ornithological oddities-the
Rpir N'Doob, or bird Of death, )" a
feathered paradox of New Guinea. 1t
is not large or formidable looking
creature, as one would naturally ex-
pect, being scarcely as large as COM
mon pigeon, but larger and of more
slender build. 1t is ola gray, glossy
color, without any special markings ex-
cept the tail, which ends with a blood
red tip. The bird is comparatively
helpless, being able to fly but q few
feet and can be caught without difficult
ty. However, it is unnecessary to say
that its poisonous bite causes thenative
Papuans to let il severely alone. Per-
sons bitten by the creature are seized
by maddening pains, which rapidly ex-
tend to every part of the body. Loss
of sight, convulsions and lockjaw are
the other symptoms which follow in
rapid succession. The natives say that
there is not q case on record ola sur
vival of the bite, there being no anti
dotc, death always ensuing within the
short space of two hours.-.St. Lopis

Doesn't "looh" as she o,tght
the weak, nervous and ailing wo-
man. As long as she suffers from
the aches, pains, and arrangements
peculiar to her sex, she can't cx-
pect to.
But there's only herself to blame.
With Dr. Pierce's Favorite Pre-
scription, she's a different woman.
And it's a change that can be seen
as well as felt. The system is in
vigorated, the blood enriched, di-
gestion improved, melancholy and
nervousness dispelled.
With the "Favorite Prescription"
all the proper functions are restored
to healthy action. Periodical pains,
weak back, bearing-down sensations,
nervous prostration, all female
complaints are cured by it. It's
the only medicine for woman's
weaknesses and ailments that's
guaranteed to do what is claimed
for it. If it doesn't give satisfac-
ton, in every case for which it's rec
commended, the money is returned.
Can something else offered by
the dealer, though it may pay him
better, be "just as good"?

The Black Silk Again.

The time was not SO very long age
when every woman owned a black silk
best gown, and many old ladies still con.
slider nothing quite so dressy even at this
period, when shot silks, figured silks,
striped, brocaded, India and China silks
are all in vogue and the old stand by,
gros grain, is regulated to the last hook
in the closet. These courtly danes will
rejoice in the knowledge that black silk
is once moro to be reigning favorite,
and many another younger and more
stylish bit of femininity will be pleased
to know that Worth, the only fashion
maker, DEGREES a season of black silk.
And what was more handy after all.
Funeral or fancy ball, the regulation
black silk was in good taste-not too
much nor too little for any occasion.
Then the comfort of it when it got to be
just bit shiny, but made such a com.
Portable twilight gown. One always felt
so dressed up in it as long as thread
remained to tell the tale. How prettily
lace looked with it or a dash of color; in
fact, wasn't it just about the most desir-
able all around costume that woman
ever sowned? Therefore let us rejoice
and be exceedingly glad, for the gros
grain returneth.

the druggist, "that because a toilet per-
fume is made in France it is superior

but the art of making fine perfumes has
been carried to such perfection of late
years i'll our own country that not moro
than one eighth as much OF the French
preparation is sold in the United States
