woman's suffering and woman's
weakness. DR.. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription puts stop to It. It's
a remedy for all the delicate de-
rangements and disorders that make
her suffer, and n 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; q nervine that soothes and
strengthens. For bearing down
pains, displacements, all the func-
tional irregularities peculiar to the
sex, it's a safe and certain remedy.
Other medicines claim to cure ?
That's true. 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.

Aud did you expect the disease of
years to disappear in a week? Put II
pinch of time in every dose. You would
not call the milk poor because the cream
doesn't rise in an hour? If there's
possible cure, DR.. Perce's Favorte
Prescription is to effect it, if given a
fair trial. You get tine one dollar it
costs back again iii don't benefit or
cure you. We wish we could give you
the makers confidence. They show it
by giving the money back again, in all
cases not benefited, and it'd surprise
you to know how few dollars are need
ed to keep up the refund.

KNOWLEDGE

Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet-
tor than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to-
the needs Of physical being, will attest
the value to health Of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
Temedy, Syrup Of Figs
Its excellence is due to It's presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of perfect laI-
alive; ehectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
1t has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid
neys, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.
Syrup of Figs is for sale by all drug
gists in soc and 81 bottles, but it is man
ufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co. only, whose name is printed on every
package, also the name, Syrup of Figs,

but went to Louisiana in 1852 and
later served In the Confederate army.
1t was during the last years Of the
war that Miss Howard was born at
Biloxi. She was, during a large part
of her youth, a decided invalid, and
much Of her early life was spent at
her fathers home on the Hudson in
New York, Her frail health pre-
vented her attendance at any Of the
famous colleges, but she was given
every educational advantage through
corps Of governesses maintained
at the Northern home. This was
REINFORCED by travelling, and in
consequence Miss Howard is most
cosmopolitan She has been to Eu-
rope half dozen times, has Travelled
several times entirely over the United
States and has resided for whole sea-
sons in different representative sec
tiOns of it,. Mr.. Howard usually
lived with his daughter at his New
York home, while Mrs Howard re-
sided in New Orleans with the boys.
1t was while trying to break in q
horse for his daughter to ride that
Mr.. Howard was thrown and killed
in 1887.
Since that time Miss Howard has
maintained her former mode of life,
has been constantly travelling and
has passed most Of her time in the
North, seldom spending more than a
month or two in New Orleans BY
the death of her father six years ago
Miss Howard inherited 800, 000
This has been judiclously invested,
and has doubtless increased since,
Notwithstanding the large inroads
she has made on it in order to give
to charitable and public movements.
The lady's mother, her brothers,
Frank T. and Harry r., and their
families reside In New Orleans, where
they are leading figures in society,
patrons especially Of music and the
dispensers of most lavish and elabor-
ate hospitality.

THERE can be no such thing as tho
right use Of a wrong thing.
No MAN ever backslides while he
Is praislng God as he ought.
ONLY those who have a love for
souls know how to win them.
EVERY one of the DEVILS arrows ia
dipped In the poison of doubt
WHEN truth goes to battle it
always fights In the front rank.
Our mistakes sometimes attract
more attention than our virtues
THE most eloquent thing on earth
is spotlesS Christian character.
To OPPOSE Gods work in our own
hearts Is to oppose it everywhere.
No MAN has great faith who does
not know that he has great God
ALL truth is nonsense to the man
who has taken lie into his heart
IT is easier not to speak at all than
1t is to keep from saying too much
SOME men join church with no bet
ter motive than others rob a bank
The devil can always find time to
rock the cradle of sleepy Christian.
EVERY dollar some men get widens
the gulf between them and Heaven.
The sin we hide In ourselves is the
one we strike at the hardest In
others
HEAVEN without love would not
be any more like home than an ice
palace.
The laws which control US most
are those which have never been
written.
IT will not do any good to pray for
ten talents II you are not improving
your one talent.
WHOEVER will receive Christ as
governing power will soon know Him
as a saving power.
ONE OF Gods ways Of helping us to
help ourselves is to give us something
hard to do for Him.
THE man who serves Christ for
gain will betrsy Him as soon as he
can get better price.
IT will not help the cause of God |
any for you TO boast Of what big |
sinner you used to be-

Reason for Rejoicing.

When Wesley and Nelson were
travelling through Cornwall, from
common to common, preaching to a
people who heard willingly but sell
dom or never proffered them the
slightest act of hospitality, they we're

They were detained some time at
St Ives because Of the illness of one
of their companions; and their lodg-
ing was little better than their fare.
"All that time" says Mr.. Nelson,
"Mr. Wesley and l lay on the floor;
he had my great-coat for his pillow,
and / had Burkltt's Notes on the
New Testament for mine.
"After being here near three weeks,

There is one house in the center
Of the village which boasts of two
stories and looks more imposing,
though not less dirty and ruinous,
than its neighbours; this is kabak. A
greasy and begrimed swing door opens
into the midst of the pandemonlum.
Here are the souls In all their glory!
Here we see the curse Of Russia i'm
personifled. Half dozen moujiks are
lying about the floor quite drunk, a
dozen Others are in varying stages Of
intoxication, q few are still fairly
sober, and two or three are drinking
tea.
Among these last is Stepan Abra-
mitch, the proprietor. This man is
observable among the crowd OF mou-
jiks because, unlike them, he wears
his shirt European fashion, not out
side his trousers, as do the moujiks.
If the Russian proverb is true, then
Stepan Is not to be trusted, for the
saying runs that a Russian remains
honest so long as he wears his shirt
outside his trousers; as soon as he
hides away his shirt tails, away 20
the qualities Of truthfulness and
honesty with them. Stepan looks
sleek and we'll fed, as, no doubt, he
is, for he fattens upon the substance
Of the community.
All the money earned in Drevno
goes one way, cand that is into the
Golfers of Stepan Abramitch. He
does not like the look of us; are we
spies, secret police, or, least probable
of all, customers? We order some
tea, however, as an excuse for our
descent upon his premises, and en-
deayor to tolerate the awful atmos-
phere of the place while we look
around. Temple Bar.

Deafness Cannot BE Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness and that is by
constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused
by an inflamed condition of the mucous
lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this
tube gets infamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed Deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken out
ton, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which
is nothing but an inhamed condition of the
mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deafness (caused by catarrh), that
cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure.
