With the prevailing hard times, how we ever
could have pulled through the Winter without
the 1880 styles it is difficult to imagine. And
still another find. The riches of that period
are not yet exhausted. We are to have Lutte
strings" this season." Lutestrings," the de-
light of 1890 maidens, and of Queen Victoria's
girlish vanity over so years ago. And before
that it was "Lutestring that rustled so softly
when the bright-eyed young girls stepped The
staid measures of the minuet with dancing feet !;
pausing always to courtesy deeply to the great
Gen. Washington. They had helped him win
his victories by smiling bravely at the brave
soldiers sending only occasional flirting glances
over to the relocated enemy; keeping true
hearts for King Georges stout-hearted, rebel
ling subjects.

One reason why fifteen years ago SO

they can earn a living without becom-

IA DIR. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip-
aion. Perfectly harmless in any
condition of the female system. It
promotes all the natural functions,

every weak, rundown, delicate wo-
man, it is an invigorating, support

to their needs.
But it's more than that, too. It's
the only guaranteed remedy for all
the functional disturbances, painful
disorders, and chronic weaknesses
of wornanhood. In "femalc COM

A FoUR-FooTED BIRD.

II SnSOS AtS Il SeNs however, BEFORE

That there are still numerous
chances for the indefatigable student
and investigator to make new discov-
cries may be judged from the fact that
the only known species OF four-footed
bird has been discovered only quite re-
Gently, says the st. Louis Republic.
This curious anomaly, which could
very properly be styled an ''avis para
doXalis,'' is a native of the Amazon
river country, its principal habitat be-
ing the islands of Marajo. 1t is only
during the period of incubation tat
which time the little embryos extra
legs and f>ct are seen at their best)
and early birdhood that the four-foot-
ed feature is at all observable Like
the baby frog, which either sheds or
abccrbs its tail, the four footed bird
rids itself of its useless legs in the
sa1ac manner, chicks six weeks of age
usually being perfectly free from any
signs of the extra members. The
ornithologists profess to believe that
this curious creature is a survival of
some past geological epoch. Its, scien-
tific name is OpisthocomnIs cristatus.
The natives call it the ''hoactzin, .
which means the 'evil-srnelliug bird. -
1t is also claimed that there il; not a
carnivorous animal known that will
taste its flesh.

t'There is n generally believed theory

consequence of touching aligatcrs
when they were still bottled up in a

any maternal saurian, and took them

under stove, and in the course of a
few days they Matched out.

sides of the shell, which remained
fastened to them by umbilical cords,
and did not free themselves; from their

They were fierce from the moment of

After Half q Century.

A few days since, George Kirk, the
plumber, received strange inclosure
from the Geo. B. Hawley Lead Works,
of Cincinnati. 1t was small section of
lead pipe-a piece of service pipe re.
moved from the premises of ]. G. Ryling,
the tent maker, in Cincinnati, ON the
18th inst. This service pipe had been
put in previous to the purchase of the
property by Mr.. Ryling in lS46, and has
surely been in the ground half a century,
perhaps much longer. In its position,
two and half feet under the ground, it
has borne constant pressure all that time
of forty-fve to forty.seven pounds. Mr..
Hawley calls attention to the fact that
there can have been very little, if any
chemical action on the lead, as the
coating, inside and out, is almost inn
perceptible, when viewed from the edge.
Thus he attests not only the indestruct-
ability of lead pipe, but the fact that it
does not disintegrate or dissolve and
give up portion of its constituent ele'
ments to the water passing through it,
This is a matter of some interest to oul
citizens just now, and those who SO de-
sire, can inspect this section OF lead pipe
at the Office of Mr.. Kirk, on Main street
