A bride is always interesting. When a
woman becomes bride she is making one
of the great changes in life. She is enter
ing on duties entirely new to her-duties,
which she is all too often wholly untitled and
unprepared for. 1t is woman's duty, as
we'll TO herself as to her husband that shs
shall be strongly healthy in every way-par-
ticularly IN those organs which are TO be
called into play in bringing children into
the world. Weakness and disease of the
organs distinctively feminine undoubtedly
cause much of the misery, unhappiness ard
ircompatibility of married life. A woman
whose nerves are continually nagged with
torturing pains, whose vitality is low, and
whose strength is unequal to her daily tasks
does not find it possible TO be always ami
able and cheerful. And yet, amiability,
cheerfulness, good looks and vivacity are
the things most expected by husband.
Every woman may have these things if she
will make and keep herself strong and
healthy. The way is simple. II leads to
DR. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, the pre-
paration of a regularly graduated, expert
enced and skilled specialist in the treatment
of the diseases of women, vino has for thirty
years been chief consulting physician of the
Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, at
Buffalo, n. Y. For thirty years this prepare
ton has been marvelously successful-has
been the means of bringing happiness into
thousands of homes. Its most benign infiu-
ence is in eliminating the pains and dangers
of childbirth. Its benefit in this respect
cannot be overestimated.

ANDY GLEEsON ON MAINE.
He Says the bryan Circus is Nothing
but u Side Show.


but u Side Show.
No one in Washington takes a greater
interest in the way things go down in
Maine" than Andy Gleeson. His affliation
with the sons of Maine dates from the
nomination of the plumed knight for
President. Andy never tires telling of
what grand man Mr.. Blaine was When
Mr. Blaine died Andy transferred his af-
fectiCn to Speaker Reed, and before he
was elected a delegate to the convention
he announced his friendship for the Speak
er, and declared that he was for him first,
last and all the time, and If sent to the
convention would vote for him, combine
or combine. His vote was cast for Mr.
Reed, and he remained loyal.
Last night Andy was bit uneasy OF
course, he knew how Maine would go, but
he was fearful that the vote would not be
large enough. And SO he stayed out late
to get the news fresh from the ticker.
When it was shown that the republicans
had polled a large vote, and had beaten
its previous grand record, he hied him to
telegraph office, and there indited a mes
sage to Speaker Reed congratulatins him
on the superb victory and the LOYALTY of
the sons of Maine
Today, in discussing the situation with q
Star reporter, his eyes twinkled as he said :.
Didn't tell you We had 'em bate? The
republicans of this country are honest men
and true. The Bryan circus is over. IFS
now nothing but a side show"

der the present Arrangement has to be left

OF encct1Ve work could be done, which I'M
der the present arrangement has to be left
to other teachers
The subject Of discipline is thus treated:
I'm my frequent visits to the schools
was greatly impressed with the wonderful
order maintained everywhere. Upon in
quiries from different teachers I learned
that corporal punishment was almost I'M
known, and cases of suspension or expul-
sion were rare: This could readily be-
Heve. judging from the bright and intelli-
gent faces. which reflected a deep interest
in their work. In discipline the schools of
this city compare favorably with those of
other cities and countries"
Work Out of school.
DR.. Scharf finds ground for some criticism
in considering the amount Of work required
of the pupils out of school. He says:
The principle that nothing should be
given for home work that has not been
thoroughly explained beforehand in the
study, but Is violated by great number of
teachers. No lessons for home work are to
pc given to children below the sixth year.
Nelther arithmetic. penmanship nor map
drawing shall be assigned for study out Of
school hours This rule has evidently be-
come obsolete, and, as to arithmetic, with
GOOD reason There Is a tendency to throw
TOO much work upon the pupils in their
nome lessons. With careless teachers, this
tendency will easily become confirmed
habit. 10 assure myself of the correctness
OF my conclusions l questioned a great
number of pupils at their homes concern
ing their lessons. and as a rule found them
taxed to their full capacity. I must say,
however. that l met with a number of
cases where the teacher had conscient.o usly
explained the lessons and made the work
Of the pupils easy. while the amount of
their work required was considerably
smaller. have no doubt that the number
OF these ideal teachers will gradually in
crease. until 1t will embrace the full ros-
trum in the city,
Describing the plan followed in the work
done by thu Normal School Dr. Scharf
says:
The Normal School is, curiously enough,
IN two separate buildings, about mile
apart. The only reason for this apparently
unbusiness-like division which was given
me Is that there are not sufficient num-
per OF training grades in one building
Considering, however. that the practice in
training schools Is only a single incident
of normal teaching, it looks like a waste
OF energy and loss Of unity in the work
to- separate small class of only fifty pu-
pills" ~
SEPARATE report Is to be submitted by
Dr: Scharf on the subject of the High
School.

DOG AND WILDCAT.
The Feline Gets the Worst Of It IN Figh
at Cadillac. Mich.

at Cadillac. Mich.
GRAND RAPIDS. Mich, April GA
crowd OF a,n In Cadillac paid 81 each
Friday night to SEQ finish fght between
big wildcat and plncky bulldog. The
duel occurred In a basement on the
main street. The cat was captured a
month ago in the woods aud was one Of
the biggest and most savage OF It's kind.
The dog Is owned by man named Pow
ers, and was bat little larger than the cat.
The pair fought in cage about ten feet
square, built In the center Of the room,
and was surrounded by the spectators.
There was no time wasted In preliminar-
les. Almost as soon as the dog was
dropped into the pen the cat. with arched
back, made flying leap at It's foe.
The dog met it half way. Tho cat
fought In grim silence and with no appeal
for mercy. Tho bulldog yolped with pain,
however, at the first dig OF the long claws,
and several times announced that he was
greatly dissatisfied with his antagonist
methods. A wildcats favorite mode of
fighting Is TO grasp its enemy with its
claws and then dig and tear viciously
with Its powerful hind feet. The Cadillac
dog had evidently had an unpleasant
recollection Of cats. and his attack from
the first was directed Lt those muscular
hind logs Time and again the cat shook
of the dogs hold, only 10 have the strong
jaws close about the same leg at tho next
opening
The brutes fought until they were
breathless and then mutually backed of
and eyed each other until the dog was en-
couraged by the crowd TO renew the at
tack. In this way eleven distinct rounds
were fought Finally the dog succeeded
In dislocating one OF the savage cats hind
legs, and from that time on had 1t all his
own way with the cripple Then the cat
was mercifully taken out and shot and
the brutal exhibition ended
