1t never occurs to most women that there
is beauty obtaiuable at little trouble. 1t
is the beauty of rosy cheeks and ruddy
health Most women lose it through in
digestion, biliousness, disordered liver,
etc.
If You want to tran storm a sallow COM
piexion into the glow of health you can do
1t by cleansing the system from impurities
and causing the liver to work effectively
No single medicine can accomplish all
that Is needed. A liver pill will merely
arouse the liver; it will not purify the
blood, or repair the waste, or tone up the
system. For this you must follow your
liver pill with some powerful, invigorating
tonic.
The best, and also the least ex-
pensive preparation, is RaHnOM's
Tonic Liver Pills and E8a-

Warner. lived for twenty-four years
on the Bryant homestead, is scarcely
less replete with interesting remin-
iscence than her daughter. Mrs.
Dawes is now well along in years, but
as bright and sociable and enthusi-
astic over the poets name as any
body.
Mrs. Dawes told the Recorder cor
respondent OF an interesting scene
on the piazza OF the Bryant house.
1t was before the death Of Charles
sumner, and he and George William
Curtis and Bryant were having a con-
versation about the threatened down
fall OF the Republican party.
So much intelligence, such repre-
sentative men, had never before
rested on Cummington soil, and the
neighbors, one by one, slipped around
back Of the house and entered n
room adjoining the piazza, and to-
day some OF them have not forgotten
craning their necks, straining their
eyes and ears and drinking in the
learned conversation Of the states
man, the editor and the poet.

like chapter in the history of West
ern Massachusetts, or Vermont. The
soil Of Essex is chiefly clay, good for
wheat and for little else, and the
wheat Of Dakota. OF Australia, OF Ar
gentina, sells on the docks OF London,
almost at the doors OF the Essex
farmers, for less than it can be taken
from the Essex fields. The county,
though noss the richest or most at
tractiye OF England, was once rich,
and is still lovely. Stretching from
the north bank OF the Thames, in an
irregular square, some fifty miles by
sixty, with London just across the
line in the southeast corner, it is
land of rolling hill and field, with
pleasant woods and gentle streams,
the charms Of which have been made
famous by Mr.. Ruskin, whose home
is in the heart Of the county.

IL Kills at Two Miles.

The Krag-J Jorgensen rifle, which
has been adopted for use in the
United States army, was selected as
the best gun out of fifty-three differ
ent models. The gun weighs eight
pounds, and is said to have the ca
pacity to kill man at distance of
two miles. 1t is breech-loader, and
has a magazine which will carry five
cartridges. The ball having speed
Off, 900 feet per second and the smoke
less powder being used, it is claimed
the bu!les <ill kill man before the
sound of the discharge can reach him.
The peculiar feature Of the new
rifle which strikes the observer is the
amount of wood and the comparative
ly small amount Of metal which is
displayed. The reason assigned for
the innovation is that the barrel Of
the gun becomes too hot from rapid
firing and the wood is protection to
the hand of the soldier.
The cartridge is quite small, but is
larger than the bore of the rifle. 1t
is estimated that the soldier can carry
175 or 200 rounds of the new am
munition. The bullet is covered by
nickel or steel instead of lead. The
rifle is provided with a knife-blade
bayonet. The first issue of the new
arm will be made to- two companies
of the Second Infantry at Omaha.
The second issue will be made to the
Fourth Infantry at Fort Sheridan.
The entire infantry force will be sup
piled by next Fall, and the cavalry
will be next supplied. The old arms
will be turned into the Government to
be distributed among the various
States.- New York Journal.

The First Soda Water.

The good, old-fashioned drink, soda
water, is said to have been first made
by man named Austin Thwoites, Of
Dublin, in 1900, but it has been vast
y improved upon during the last thirty
or forty years. In few other depart
ments of inventive taste and skill
have greater strides been made to-
ward perfection. American ingenu-
ity seems to lead the van in this
march of improvement, for even the
French, with all their skill in mat
ters bibul Gus, learned something new
when an enterprislng Yankee set up
an American soda fountain" at the
great exposition in 1867, which was
decided novelty to the Parisians and
their guests, and met with hearty
welcome from all. AS many as A, 600
glasses were sold in one day, and the
crowd that collected around the foun-
tain was so great that they had to be
formed into line by the police, and
after first receiving checks went up
and took their drinks by turns

my foster parents had no children,

with all the independence Of child

During the several months Of va

year at the home we had many merry
romps together. He was shy and

often reticent with those who knew
him best, but / always found n smile

Miss Julia Sands, daughter Of the
poet, was present. OF late years she
has made her home in Paris. Mrs. So
phronia o. Rogers, sister of ex-Sena-
tor Dawes, and who is now S2 years
old, was also present. She is the
only survivor who attended the little
village school with Bryant, and she
gives many interesting "reminiscences
Of the great poet, and speaks inter
estingly Of the sixty notches which
he cut in n beam as evidence Of
his standing for sixty consecutive
days at the head Of the spelling
class.
Bryant's library stands intact to-
day as it was used by him. The same
is true Of his bed chamber. They
are visited yearly by hundreds Of pill
grius. The plain Chester shaft Of
granite which marks the poet birth
place, stands on the Tower farm, n
mile nearer the village.
The observance itself was held on
the homestead, in an orchard of
which Bryant sang. All about the
place are scenes made memorable by
his poems. Among them are the
Bryant wall, the old hemlocks and
pines, the Johannot Brook, the
Rivulet, the Roaring Brook and n
score of others. w. 5. c., in n. Y.

you can do in the country. There is
mos. excellent fishing in the Qua
chita and in the Gulpha and other
creeks and in the White River.
The fish that most abounds
is the black bass. The natives call
every fish a trout, but the man who
goes for trout and is disappointed be-
cause he has TO kill black bass, is
not one of natures anglers, and
lsaak Walton would have spurned
his claims 10 decipleship. Besides
the bass, one may catch jack-salmon
in these waters Of the Ozarks, and
the strange and uncanny catfish,
which is an abnormally big growth
OF the bull-head OF our own Hudson.
OF course there is hunting wher-
ever there are woods and mountains,
but sometimes, as in the forests of
the East, the woods and mountains
are hunted out; but this is not true
Of the Ozarks. There the sportsman
can get deer, wild turkeys, quail,
squirrel and rabbits in abundance,
and other and smaller game that de-
light the soul Of the nimrod. There
are lone and characteristic places to
visit, springs that are not hot, but
whose waters are pleasant and whole
some. On these short journeys to
the attractions of the neighborhood
one catches pleasant glimpses of ma
tive life in the backwoods of Arkan-
sas, and reaches a fuller understand
ing OF the tales that are told and the
jests that are uttered by the Arkan-
sas Traveller.

An amusing story is told by Frank

Many of the animals of Central

Several years ago a baby camel that

is to the credit OF the town that she
has originated the Bryant centennial
observance without suggestion from

some OF the famous men and women
OF the country to assist in the cele-
bration.
1t took place in a grove just be-
yond the Bryant homestead. There
was an address of welcome from the
librarian of the Bryant library, and
Parke Goodwin, Mr.. Bryant's son-in-
