A ChIIdless Home.

Smith and his wife have every luxury that money can buy, but there is one thing lacking to theirl.happiness. Both are fond of children, but no little voices prattle, no little feet batter in their beautiful home. "I would give ten years of my life if I could have one healthy, living child of my own," Smith often says to himself. No woman can be the mother of healthy offspring un- less she is herself in good health. If she suffers from female weakness, general debility, bearing-down pains, and functional Arrangements, her physical condition is such that she cannot hope to have healthy children. Dr Pierce's Favorite Prescription is q sovereign and guaranteed remedy for Rall these ail- ments. See guarantee printed on bottle wrapDer,

BIG TURTLES OF THE SEA.

Facts About Great Marine TOrtOises and
 How They Are Used.
 As the dealer made the remark he took out bucket and handed to a Star reporter three or four little white spheres. Each one was about an inch in diameter and looked as if it was covered with exquisitely delicate can vas.
 "Those were laid by a loggerhead turtle," he explained. 1T have seen tortoises of that kind which would weigh one thousand pounds apiece. Sometimes they grow to one thousand five hundred or-one thousand six hum dred pounds, I understand. Sea turtles get to-be monsters. There is a kind called the Ieather-back,' which is big ger than the loggerhead, but they are very rare. However, they aren't good for much, only their oil being good for lubricator.
 "You take one thousand pound log gerhead and he will measure seven or eight feet in length and nine across the back, including the fippers. He is a very fast and strong swimmer, SO that you must catch him asleep on the water if you expect to bag him. Speci- mems are often seen many miles from land, floating on the wave. Unlike the other great sea turtles, which prefer a vegetable diet, the logyerhead is car- nivorous. It has very powerful jaws, and with them it easily cracks the shells of large conches, eating the meat. The young ones are said to be pretty good in stew or soup, but those which are full grown are leathery and mus!Sy in flavor. Some times the oil from the fat is smeared on the sides of vessels to keep worms from eating the wood.
 ''In the spring the female loggerhead comes ashore and scoops out pit with her hind legs in the sand on the south side of the shoal. Then she lays from one hundred and fifty to two hundred eggs in the hole and covers them up agaln with the sand, leaving them to be matched by the hea: of the sun. Bears are ever so found of turtle eggs of all sorts, and they dig up the nests wherever they can find them, Robbling amazing quantities I have known as many as thirteen nests to be robbed b. a single bear in one night. As soon as they are patched the vonng ones scnttle into the
