ment was aroused in Salisbury, N. c., to-
day by the announcement of the finding at
Eldorado, Montgomery county, of large

nine or ten thousand dollars. A similar ex-
element was created last summer. when a
number of large nuggets were unearthed-
two at Crawfords Stanley county. being
ten and half and eight and half pounds

any wonlan's life.
Health is an inheritance due to every
child and within the reach of every
parent to bestow. 1t is something that
costs no money and is more precious
than mountain of diamonds.
The cllild's health depends almost
wholly on the Mothers not ouly before
its birth but afterwards. A sick mother
can't properly care for her child's health.
A sick mother sometimes bears healthy
child, but it isn't to be expected. Maybe
the baby will possess the appearance pf
health, but will lack stamina. Maybe
innate weakness will develop in after
years.
Every woman should be particularly
careful of her health during the period
of gestation-when the child is really a
part of herself
During all this time, she should keep
her body strong and pure and she should
take proper precautions against her time
of labor. For this purpose DR.. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription is prescribed. It
has been used in thousands of cases,
with the most gratifying results. It is
a tonic to the whole body, but particu-
larly to the organs distinctly feminine.

notes regularity.

 The Kilanyi living pictures are pro- nounced by all who have seen them to be the best tableau vivants ever seen here.
 Thrty-one examples are given, but so rapid are the changes of scene that the exhibition occupies an incredibly short time. By a skillful arrangement of lights and colors some charming ef- fleets are produced, and the illusion is further strengthened by the tableaux appearing inside framework as in a picture. Among the examples shown were Diana (CanovaD, Sappho (Spiri- don), Will-o'-the-Wisp, a very beauti- ful picture by Ierch; Psyche at the Well CThurmann), The Ferryman Gay arab, Una and the Lion, and Aphrodite (KilanyD.

None of them are commonplace and many of them are startling innovations. Three ladies and three gentlemen participate in this act, in which grace and ease of move ment play prominent parts, and which never fails to keep an audience spell bound in almost spechless amazement.
