DIET AND DIGESTION.

Oyster soup requires from three to four

Vinegar taken with food greatly delays

MAKE THE HOME A
BLESSING.
The Love of Children Is Innate In
the Heart of every True Man and
Woman.

All that is beautiful and lovely in wo-
man, finds its climax in motherhood.
How often we find among our American
women that longing for the prattling
voice, the idol of their waiting hearts.
It is natural instinct, this yearning of
the heart for offspring; yet the wife hest
tates to talk with the family physician
on this delicate subject. A good way to
do is to send for a medical book on
"Wo1nan and Her Diseases, (I68 pages)

of 10 cents in stamps, for postage, if you
address the Worlds Dispensary Medical
Association, Buffalo, y. Y.
The reflections of married woman
are not pleasant if she be dehcate, run-

out" Her smile and her good spirits
have taken fight. 1t worries her hus-
band as well as herself.
This is the time to build up her
strength and cure those weaknesses or
ailments which are the cause of her
trouble. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip-
ton regulates and promotes all the pro-
per functions of womanhood, improves
digestion, enriches the blood, dispels
aches and pains, melancholy and nerv-

It's safe remedial agent, an invigor-
ating tonic and nervine which cures all

ments incident to womanhood.

I, Was onlv Fun for the Goose.

Erie and Pittsburg tralnInen are talk
ing about the curious race between an ex-
press train and wild goose which occur
red the other day between Shadeland and
Summit. The veteran engineer Toby
Welsh was at the throttle, and when the
Canadian honker came lazily soaring
alongside the engine and challenged the
iron steed to keep up with him, Toby
turned on the steam and made 1t neces-
sary FOR the goose to flap his wings a
little harder, but he had no trouble in
keeping ahead, and after getting out of
sight of the train would settle down in
field and wait for the express to catch
up with him. He waited at Springboro,
Conneautville and Summit. and starting
after the train from these points, few
close to the coach windows in full view
of all the passengers, who crowed over to
that side of the train to witness the queer
actions of the bird. When the goose at one
time got close to the engine, Engineer
| Welsh pulled the whistle, and the bird
was so badly scared that he turned over
in the air like tumbhng pigeon. Toby
declares that he can outrun everything
between New Castle and Erie except
geese, and that he has no desire to race
such creatures.

Cathode rays were utilized, was preform-

operation, DIR. Finney, who preiorn ed it,
said
"The operation was entirely successful.
The negative showed exactly the loca-
ton of the blade, and enabled us to make
a definite diagnosis of the cause of the
trouble before operating All we could
tell without the X rays was that there
was some irritating substance in the hand.
The result of the operation sustained i'll

The recent census OF Germany shows
population of 81 ,728, 1854. The German
empire is the second in population in
Europe, being exceeded only by Russia.
Not all its population are G ermans, how
ever, there being few millions of Po-
landers, and some French i'll Alsace and
Lorraine. On the otLer hand, the Aus
train empire contains many millions
more of Germans. The latter empire is
composite of many races comprising
Hungarians, Poles, Bohemians, Slavon-
ians and others, besides Germans. So
far as armies wealth and population are
concerned. the German empire would be
able to meet Russia on nearly equal terms
should war break out among them, were
it not for the ever present fear that
France would break in at the back door
and recover her Rhine provinces, lost in
1870.
