DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription,
if you have not found the help that
you need. But, if you're a tired
and feeble woman, or a delicate and
ailing one, it's remedy that's sure
to give it.
Practically, it's sold on trial.
That's what it amounts to. If it
doesn't give satisfaction, in the
building-up and strengthening of
overtaxed womanhood, and the COM
plete cure of all the delicete de-
rangements, functional disturbances,
and painful disorders peculiar to the
sex : then you have your money
back.
You'd think that any medicine
could be sold so, if it did all that's
claimed for it..
Exactly.
But the fact remains that out Of
all the medicines for women, aFa-
vorite Prescription" is the only one
that's sold on such terms.
Knowing these things, it's an in-
suit to your intelligence to have
something else, that pays the dealer
better, offered as "just as good"

Interesting Facts and Flgurss Not Gensr.

Proceeding westward from the Irish
coast the ocean bed deepens very grad
ually; in fact for the first $50 miles the
gradient is but feet to the mile. In the
next 90 miles, however, the fall is over
1900 feet, and SO precipitous is the sud-
den descent that in many places depths
Of 1900 to 1000 fathoms are encoun-
tered in very close proximity to the 100
fathom line. With the depth Of 1900
to 1000 fathoms the sea bed in this part
Of the Atlantic becomes q slightly un-
dulating plain, whose gradients are SO
Z light that they show but little altera.
ton of depth for 1900 miles. The ex-
traordinary f1atness of these submarine
prairies renders tho familiar simile of
the basin rather Inappropriate. The
hollow of the Atlantic is not strictly q
basin, whose depth increases regularly
toward the center; II Is rather saucer
or dish-lilse one, so even is the contour
of its bed.
The greatest depth in the Atlantic has
been found some 100 miles to tho
northward Of the island Of st. Thomas.
where soundings Of 3,S75 fathoms were
obtained. The seas round Great Britain
can hardly be regarded as forming part
of the Atlantic hollow. They are
rather part of the platform banks Of
the European continent which the
ocean has overfiowed. An elevation of
the sea bed 100 fathoms would suffice to
lay bare the greatest part OF the North
sea and join England to Denmark, Hol.
land, Belgium and France. A deep
channel of water would run down the
west coast OF Norway, and with this
the majority of the fiords would be con.
nected. A great part Of the Bay of
Biscay would disappear; but Spain and
Portugal are but little removed from
the Atlantic depression. The 100 fathom
line approaches very near the west
coast, and soundings of 1000 futhoms
can be made within 20 miles of Cape st.
Vincent, and much great er depths have
been sounded at distances but little
greater than this from the western
shores Of the Iberian peninsula.-Nau-

riority being the welding of the link.
For this work no device has yet been
found which will take the place of the
strong and flexible wrist of a proficient
workman. But the work Is extremely
hard ana exhausting, and six hours Of
it constitutes a good average day, even
for a robust chainmaker. The wages
are fair. being from $3.50 to s4.00 day;
but comparatively few native Ameri-
cans, it Is said, are to be found among
the members of this craft. The major.
ity are Englishmen; and in their own
country they begin to learn the trade,
in many cases, at seven years Of age. It
is singular fact, considering the ma
ture of the employment, that not only
boys but girls Of that tender age are
taught chain-making and follow It for
a livelihood, the chains made by wom-
en- being Of the lighter class, with small
links. For the heavier descriptions Of
work very high degree Of heat is re-
quired; and it is the exposure to this
high temperature which tries most se-
verely the constitution of even the

fellow, leading lawyer or accom-
plished engineer? Because in an evil
hour he found his present employment
set before him, nothing to do but to add
up columns and strike balances or make
out bills-no exertion of thought, no
risk of failure, but secure income
and he yielded to the temptation. the
result of which is the pursuit of a
monotonous ill-paid calling in which
there is no chance to rise.
1t is not because he works so much
harder than this man, or even than a

THE MARRIED WOMAN.

r. Marion Crawford Writes OF Her New
Part In Our Present-Day Society.
The married woman plays . much
larger part in our society to-day than
she did ten years ago, and the almighty
girl has lost some Of her supremacy,
writes F. Marion Crawford in his de-
lightful study of "The American Wom-
an" as seen after an absence OF ten
years, in the April Ladies' Home Jour
nal. We are not ruled by Daisy Miller
as we once were, though the foreigner
still seems to think so, and makes the
girl the central point in most OF his
sketches of Americans abroad. But
Daisy Miller was a very real and living
person when MIR. Henry James immor.
talized her 1t was thought at the
time by many that she represented q
tendency in the future. 1t seems to me,
on the contrary. that she was even then
becoming relict of the past. The om-
impotence OF the pert maid is most COM
plete in the village, where she necessa-
rily has more leisure, q lighter heart
and less to think Of, than the farmers
wife or the laboring-man's helpmate.
The impression she produces comes
from her vitality. not from her intelli-
gence, Marriage in the life Of q village
is much more serious affair than in
that state of life to which society con-
siders that it Is called. 1t means hard
work, large family, mouths to feed
and clothes to wash. In other words,
it means service, IL not servitude, even
with the assistance of the modern farm
ing machinery, which did not exist in
the days when Daisy Miiier's progen-
itrix began to be. and when such state
of things as exists in our time was not
even dreamed Of The village drama,
If the village had one, was no doubt fun
damentally like the drawing-room trag-
edy OF our time, but the actors were
not the same. They were generally
considerably younger and brought more
activity and less thought to the events
in which they played a part; more SEN
timentality and less passion, more con-
ventional stage business and less orig
inal power. In the pastoral state none
but the very young had time for much
sentiment Hut we have changed all
that and Daisy Miller no longer plays
the leading lady" in the comedy.
That is q sign Of civilization, because
civilization means all that which di-
minishes the difficulties Of material ex-
istence and tends to develop what we
have agreed to call the higher side OF
human nature.
