There Are Many Nooks and Corners of
Which Americans Know Nothing.
We live in the most wonderful land
in the world; and one of the most won
derful things in it is that we Americans
find so little to wonder at. Other
civilized nations take pride in know
ing their points of natural or historic
interest; but when we have pointed to
our marvellous growth in population
and wealth, we find little else to say,
and hasten abroad in quest of sights
not a tenth part SO wonderful as thou
sand wonders we have at home and
never dream of. 1t is true that other
nations are older. and have grown up
to think of something besides ma
terial matters; but our youth and our
achievements are poor excuses for this
unpatriotie sighting of our own coun-
try. There is part of America
part even of the United States-of
which Americans know as little as they
do of central Africa, and of which too
many of them are much less interested
to learn. With them "to traveI' means
only to go abroad; and they call a man
traveller who has run his superficial
girdle around the world and is as igno-
rant of his own country Except it's
cities) as if he had never been in it. /
hope to live to see Americans proud of
knowing America, and ashamed not to
know it; and it is to my young country
men that 1 look for the patriotism to
effect so needed a change.-C. F. Lum-

woman's suffering and woman's
weakness. DIR. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription puts a stop to it. It's
q remedy for all the delicate de-
engagements and disorders that make
her suffer, and cure for all the dis
eases and disturbances that make
her weak. It's a legitimate medi-
cine, that corrects and cures a
tonic that invigorates and builds
up; n nervine that soothes and
strengthens. For bearing down
pains, displacements, all the func-
tional irregularities peculiar to the
sex, it's safe and certain remedy.
Other medicines claim to cure ?
That's trues But they don't claim
TO do this: if the Favorite Pre-.
scription fails to give satisfaction,
in any case for which it's recon-
mended, the money paid for it is
refunded.
Judge for yourself which is likely
TO be the better medicine.
And think whether something else
offered by the dealer is likely to be
=" just as good"
You pay only for the good you get.
On these terms it's the cheapest.

MONOGRAM TOAST.
a Culinary Curiosity Produced by Ciev'
VOunc

n culinary Curiosity Produced by clever
Young Woman.
certain young woman, who her
family says, sits up nights to think up
clever things, thought up a specially
clever one a month ago. The family
knew as soon as she came down in the
morning from her air of supreme self
satisfaction that she had an idea work
ing somewhere back in her brain. But
for week or more she kept her own
counsel; then, one morning, when they
came into breakfast, they knew. For
at each place was small plate of hot
buttered toast, and on every slice ap-
peared the monogram of some one
member of the family, in creamy
yellow against golden-brown
background. And when everybody
had wondered enough to sat-
isfy the vanity even of this
exacting young woman, she was
induced to go down into the kitchen
and display the contrivance by which
she had brought it all about. It was
made like an ordinary toaster only that
the center was composed of a mono
gram. which was held in the frame by
a single wire attached to each side.
When the bread was put in and held
over the fire the metal of the monogram
kept its outline from browning. and
when the rest of the surface was crisp
and brown the letter device was just
touched with creamy yellow. The rack
was made of ordinary wire, and the let.
tiers were of tin. There was a toaster
for each member of the family, SO that
the self-esteem of all might be equally
administered to. and the coasters were
capable of holding but one slice at a
time.
1.-THE beauty of this toaster," ex-
planned the clever young woman, sis
that they could be made in silver and
used for dinner favors."
But her father shook his head rueful-
" and said: II don't see the beauty of
that."-N. Y. Sun.
