Healthy, happy children are those whose
mothers have been, and are, healthy The
best intentioned woman in the world will
fall short of her duty to her children if she
IS worried and wearied with weakness and
sickness. Most all irritable women are
sick women Most all melancholy, listless,
languid women are sick women. Every
woman who will take the trouble to notice,
will find that at certain fixed periods she is
nervous, cross, irritable and respondent
Any irregularity makes the conditions
worse. Even well woman is less amiable
than usual at these times. What can be
expected from sick woman?
When every movement is a dreary drag,
when the nerves are all on edge in sym
pathy with the particular ones affected
when it seems that death were very much
preferable to living-what can a woman do
for her children then?
1t is every wo1nan's duty to be we'll and
healthy. There is no reason why she
should be otherwise if only she will take
proper care of herself and take DR.. Pierces
Favorite Prescription when she needs it.
This celebrated remedy has been used in
the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute
at Buffalo, n. Y, of which DR.. Pierce is
Chief Consulting Physician and specialist,
for over 30 years Thousands of women
have been cured by it and hundreds have
written grateful letters
Some Of these letters are embodied in a
1000 page book, profilse1y illustrated, called

tering, without ever raising a hand to
steady their burden. The Public Garden,
in the northwest suburb, is small but
prettily laid out, full of flowers both win
ter and summer, with pathways winding
around green monticule in the centre.
on the summit of which is an octagon
house for the shelter of visitors. This is
the site Of the first church built on the
island, that Of st. Johns, with nunnery
attached, which was destroyed by light
ming many years ago. Nothing now re-
mains OF the old pile except a square
tower on the west side of the wall, which
is apparently upheld and preserved by it's
mantle of creepers. The most con-
spicuons building in Horta is the old
Jesuit convent and college, with church
between them. The college and convent
are now used for offices by the civil gov
eminent, and are simple lofty buildings,
forming the wings of the church. All the
other useful purposes, for the nuns and
monks were expelled and religious com
munities suppressed by Dom Pedro ".
about go years ago. At that time there
were IS converts of nuns and monks in
the archipelago, with upwards of IL, 600
inmates. The majority of these remained
recipients of government pensions during
their lives; a heavy tax on small com
munity with limited resources, but never
theless just one. They were finally
reduced to an abbess and one sister. who
fingered to great age, supported in the
former nunnery of st. Anthony, and both
died about two years ago. The churches
are all Moorish in architecture, with pre-
tentious facades, three or four stories
high, thanked by square towers surmount-
ed by Saracenic domes. The interiors are
bare and lofty, with two lows of massive
pillars supporting the roof, and many al
tars tawdry with gliding and artificial
flowers. Some of the shrnes are decorat-
ed with great bows and rosettes made of
cheap American neckties; others are
decked with cotton laces, poor tapestry
and tinsel gew- gaws. The floor of these
churches on Sunday morning looks like
a gay flower garden, with its crowds of
kneeling women with bright hued hand
kerchiefs on their heads. Rockets sent
up from the church steps form part of the
regular service, and bells are rung on
weekdays almost as continuously as on
the seventh. The Carmelite church and
convent, which stands upon prominent
hill, is now used as barracks for the sol
diers Of the garrison. The old Franciscan
convent, connected with another spacious
and profusely ornamented church, has
been turned into hospital. The small
convent of the order OF st. Anthony has
become an asylum for destitute girls be-
tween the ages Of and 16 years. where
they are taught little reading, writing
and embroidery and good deal about
sewing, cooking and domestic economy
When their education is considered com
plete, they are taken into service by re-
spectacle families, who are pledged under
Judicial obligations to treat them kindly.
The government furnishes the building
only for this worthy institution, and pri-
waite charities support it.

Materials for Fish Chowder.

Capt. I. NJ. Nicholson, who owns over
four fifths of the fish brought into Bucks
port, is the largest individual owner of
fishing vessel property in New England,
being sole owner of three and fitting out
the four best vessels from the port. After
the fishing season is over some Of the yes
sells are sent to the Provinces for potatoes,
while the largest bring onions from Ber-
muda or salt from Turks Islands to New
York. This gives rise to the standing
joke that Capt. Nicholson is getting
materials together for a fish chowder."
Five hundred and sixty tons of Goldfish,
1000 bushels Of ''spuds'' and ship load
of onions would keep family in chowder
for more than week.

Fishermen's superstitions.

The i'll luck Of the Monhegan mackerel
fishers of late has revived some amusing
superstitions. Although many schools Of
mackerel have been seen, only one crew has
made paying catch, - IL barrels, and the
fishermen have shown in various ways
a practical faith in hoodoos. One be-
lieved his new oil-clothes were the
cause of his ill luck and promptly
threw them overheard. Another fancied
that his hat was the Jonah, and tore it into
threads. Again a dory in use was at fault,
and one Of the crew wanted to have it des-
troyed and regretted his poverty would not
allow him to buy it so he could satisfy his
within by breaking the dory up. Perhaps
the most striking performance was that of a
steamers crew, who decided that they were
all Jonahs and left school Of fish to
go ashore and smoke themselves-building
a brush fire and lowering over it till the
tears flowed from their eyes.

Negro Question in the South Is Approach
ing a Crisis.

London. Dec. 25-In leader on the
lynching of negroes in the southern
states, the Post this morning says
TT Is hardly open to question that In
many parts of the former slave holding
states of the American Union that the
negro question is rapidly approaching
critical stage. In the north the gravity
of the situation is hardly recognized,
although the whites refuse in practice
to accord the Negro that political and
social equality to which he is in theory
entitled to. In the south no hallucina-
lions exist. In parts of the south where
white families are often completely iso-
lated, each white man knows that ne
and his family are in position OF per
| petuai peril. That the critical point has
been reached, however, is shown by tbs
fact that the negroes display tendenc.
to stand by the men of their race ant
aid them II need be. 1t will be necessar!
to face a war some day. The result o
course could not be doubtful. The pow
