DR.. PIERCE'S
Golden Medical
DISCOVERY
Cures M~nety-eighf per cent. of all
cases of Consumption. in all Its
Earlier Stages.

Although by many believed to be incura-
bic, there is the evidence of hundreds of
living witnesses to the fact that, in all its
earlier stages, consumption is a durable
disease. Not every case, but a Ia,ge be,-
centage of cases, and we believe, fnHy oS
per cent. are cured by DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery, even after the disease
has progressed SO far as to induce repeated
bleedlngs from the lungs, severe lingering
cough with copious expectoration (includ-
ing tubercular matter), great loss Of flesh
and extreme efnaciation and weakness.
Dc you doubt that hundreds of such cases
reported to us as cured by Golden Med
ical Discovery" were genuine cases of that
dread and fatal disease? You need not take
our word for it. They have, i'll nearly every
instance, been so pronounced by the best
and most experienced home physicians,
who have no interest whatever in mis-
representing them, and who were often
strongly prejudiced and advised against
a trial of Golden Medical Discovery"
but who lave been forced to colfess that
it surpasses, i'll curative power over this
fatal malady, all other medicines with
which they are acquainted. Nasty cod
liver oil and its filthy 'emulsions" and
mixtures, had been tried III nearly all these
cases and had either utterly failed to bene-
fit, or had only seemed to benefit a little for
a short time. Extract of malt, whiskey,
and various preparations of the hypophos-
phites had also been faithfully tried in vain.
The photographs of a large number of
those cured of consumption, bronchitis,
lingering coughs, asthma, chronic nasal
catarrh and kindred raladies, have been
skillfully reproduced in a book of 100
pages which will be mailed to you, OIL re-
ceipt of address and six cents in stamps.

Girls Who Attract Men.

The girls who attract the best men
are almost always q source of surprise
to their feminine friends, who are often
lost in wonder as to why SO many
patent charms should have been
passed over in such selections, writes
Mrs. Burton Harrison in the January
Ladies' Home Journal. 1t is the little
mouse of a woman, the shrinking, shy
creature left in the background by her
holder sisters, we constantly see
brought to the front by the
man who has won her
love. And men prefer to any such
%coquettish invitation as that extended
by Mrs. Bond of the nursery rhyme to
her ducks when deroying them to come
and he killed, the uncertainty hanging
around a being tn VIII IN they have to
sue.
: Every mans ideal of a wife-I mean
b normal, honest citizen Of our
Republic, who looks forward to making
of himself and his line, stones to sup

pretty, who might be brilliant, but
who must lie god. He also recognizes
~inStinctively that her grace should not
be too costly to wear every day. That

MUST HAVE BEEN A MALE MOUSE

The SEX of an Intruder mt h Girl
Bachelcrs' Club Clearly Estab-
Iished.
1t was the regular monthly meeting
Of the Murray Hill Girl Bachelors
club, says the New York World. Miss
Sophia Greengogs had read her able
paper on Man as a Failure, With a
Big F." Miss Passe had recited an
original poem entitled "Waiting"-not
an old maids confession by any means,
but the autobiography Of a female
waiting at the seaside. Then followed a
touching song by Miss Highsee, en-
titled, "She Had to Darn Her Own
Silk Hose Because Her Husband
Wouldn't" After this came a debate:
"In Russian tea should it be four fin
gers of gin to n of tea, or vice versa?"
Then came a thesis by a Boston poet
ess entitled Man as a Stepping Stone
to Higher Things" Then it was moved
and seconded that the sergeant-at-arms
expel and forever after exclude from
the sacred precincts of the club ev-
erything male, even to Buttons and
the tomcat Felix. 1t was resolved that
woman was the only true inheritor to
the privileges of the earth and that
man had stolen her birthright. That
she alone was at once the wisest, most
diplomatic and heroic of all the crea-
lures of the mundane sphere, the only
undaunted and true heroine in all ex-
igencies and emergencies Of life
The resolution would have been fin
ished and carried with overwhelming
eclat had not at this very moment the
president paused in the recitation, turn
ed a deadly pallor and, s~hrieking,
mounted a chair. Confusion reigned,
four Of the heroines tainted, nineteen
others mounted tables and convenient
furniture, while two climbed I'D the
chandelier, just as a wee little mouse
scampered across the floor. Instantly
the Sergeant-at-arms flou1shed a. small
poker above her head and with that
the little mouse made a Decline for the
nearest hole. After quiet was restored
the president put the following reso-
luton: Resolved that the reason this
honorable body arose In such conster-
nation with the advent of a mouse in
the sacred precincts Of this castle of
femininity was not because it was a
mouse, but because that mouse was of
the opprobrious sex which this estima.
Ole body has sworn to repudiate nee
and forever"
But how do you know it was a man
mouse?" inquired one Of the more
courageous Of the council. Because
he had whiskers?"
NO" replied the learned president.
II knew it must be a male mouse be.

game with oma it only takes a lit.

There was dead silence for ten sec.

The popularity of black iron lamps
and lanterns for the piano, the study or
porch, has given impetus to the Ian
gushing art of working in hammered
iron. 1t is the highest type of iron
work as well as the most beautiful, and
we r glad to see it revived. The
hammered iron work Of the middle
ages has been reverenced almost as
a departed art. The best of this work
is very expensive, but that has not
prevented the production of some mag
nificent examples. The opportunity for
the use of hammered iron work is large,
including gates, ratings, balconies, ETC.,
and it would appear that one general
attention WIS directed to this species
OF artistic ornamentation the field of
it's application would be extensive

LincOIn's Joke ON Seward.

On the 9th the First Corps, com
manded by Gen. Reynolds was re-
viewed by the president OIL a beautiful
plain on the north of Potomac Creek,
about eight miles from Hooker's head
quarters. We rode thither in al ambu-
lance over a rough corduroy road; and,
as we passed over some of the more
difficult portions of the jolting way,
the ambulance driver who sat in front,
occasionally let fly a volley of sup.
pressed oaths at his wild team of six
mules. Finally Mr.. Lincoln, learning
forward, touched the mar on the
shoulder, and said:
"EXcuse me, my friend, are you an
Episcopalian?'
The man greatly startled, looked
round and replied:
mo, Mr.. President; l am a Metho-
dist.
"Well," said Lincoln, II thought you
must be an Episcopalian, because you
swear just like Gov. Seward, who is
a churchwarden." the driver swore nc

Fishing Owls.

Did any one know that owls did q
right smart business in the fishing line
when they had a C nance? The Fish
Conn %'ssiorers Of New Hampshire
have discovered that owls have been
stripping the spawning saibling off the
beds i'll their state. Naturally the fish
ing is all done at night ard the water
on the mid1lake spawning grounds be-
ing very low has given the owls the
chance which they have improved.
Quite likely the saibling expose some
portion of their bodies above the wa
ter, and the noise they make in the
water attracts the night birds, and
every morning the spawn takers have
found evidence Of their visits.-Forest

some Features of GnIcs.

r. Fl. Curtis, in describing the work
ing of the "bfidied' thermometer, says
the greatest force of an Individual gust
which he has met with was registered
in December, 1891; and amounted 70 a
rate Of Ill miles per hour, which, with
the old factor, would be equivalent to
a rate Of about 100 miles per hour. A
speed of from 80 to 100 miles IN hour
has often been recorded, but the usual
limit for gusts may be taken to equal
about eighty miles an hour, which, on
the old scale, would be equivalent to
about 100 miles an hour. Gales and
strong winds differ very much in char
ncter, and Mr.: Curtis has been able to
group them into three classes. Some
gales are essentially squally in charac-
=, and in them the gusts constitute
G main feature of the air motion. In
an average gale the ordinary gusts fol-
ow, each other at intervals of about
ten to twenty seconds, while the heav-
Ter gusts occur at the rate of about one
per minute. In another class Of gales
the velocity of the wind is tolerably
! steady. In the third class are gales
which appear to be made up Of two
| series of rapidly succeeding squalls
the one series travelling at a COMPARE
lively low rate of velocity, the other at
a much higher one, the wind force
| shifting rapidly and very frequently
| from one series to the other. A char
| acteristic of certain gales is a prolonged
| pulsation in the wind force, recurring
| over an extended period with more OF
| less regularity every twenty minutes
| or half an hour. In other cases h In
| terval of recurrence would be about an
| hour, more or less.

AN ECLIPSE PHOTOGRAPH
A Cometary structuse Clearly Indicatedn

Professor Schaeberle stated a wear
ago that the eclipse photographs taken
by him in Chilli, in April. 1893, showed
a comet-like structure in the corona
neal the suns south pole. An exam
nation of the photographs taken by
the British observers in Africa and
Brazil was made, but no traces of
cometary matter could be found on
any part Of them. Professors Schac-
berle and Holden, however, We're conf
dent that n comet was photographed
upon the corona of the 1893 eclipse,
and they accordingly sent copies from
negatives obtained at Chill, Brazil and
Africa to w. H. Wesley.
The latter, having examined the
photographs, Announces that they clear
IL indicate IA cometary structure in the
corona. The object is extremely faint,
and appears like n forked coronal ray.

the object from the nCon's limb on the

Portable Electric Pump.

Dana Greene, in addressing the In
stitute of Naval Architects and En-
gineers recently, said that, had cleo
trio motors been in use on board the
great English man-of-war Victoria, to
close her water-tight doors, she would
have been saved when rammed by her
sister ship. 1t took a trained crew
three minutes, under normal conditions,
TO close them; with motors less m

Photographing by Electricity


The Importance of artificial light in
photography has kept pace with tie i'm
provement of the standard demanded
in the work of the best photographers.
In the early days Of the use of the
electric light in Photographic studios,
the darkness of the shadows was q
source of dismay to the operator. Van
der Weyde devised a refractor OF ala
baster, on which the light was thrown.
The refractory rays were collected on
a reflector and by it thrown on the
sitter. The shadows were thus softened
and a brilliant and artistic picture was
secured.
Since then many features have been
introduced for a%ugmenting the feXibll-
ity and effectiveness oil the electric
light in photography. OF these the
latest is an i~ncandescent system, con-
sisting of a round hoop, four fee in
diameter, on the inside of which are
ranged forty twenty-five candle-powef
lamps, backed up by a dome of white
silk. This is affixed to a beam sus-
pended from the ceiling, so that it can
be removed to any part of the studio az
will. A regulator is so connected as TO
be under the control Of the operator,
who can instantly turn on two, four,
six, or any number of lamps While
focusing. Afterward the remainde: q
the lamps are slowly turned on, until
the whole forty are burning at full
candle-power.
1t is claimed that by this gradual In
crease in the lighting power the sitter
is neither startled nor Inconvenience
by the strong light that is being used
during the exposure. Many photogra-
pliers now say that they would rather
take a picture by the electric light than
by daylight, and the electric lamp is
found specially useful in charging

Luys of Paris, whose observations and
