woman's noblest work is helping baby into life and health. She is committing a crime when she helps sickly baby into the world. It is crime because it Is wholly within her power to make the baby strong and healthy. She can do it by the proper preparation-by taking proper care of her self during the period of gestation. Many babies die early or at birth, or are sickly all their lives because of their mothers ignor- ance or neglect Neither is excusable.
 Every woman may be strong and well, and so insure the health of her baby. If she will take Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip- ton during the period of gestation, she will find that she will have none of the discom- forts incident to this condition, and that parturition will be free from danger, and comparatively free from suffering.

It is the only medicine of its kind prepared by regu- larly graduated, experienced and skilled specialist in the treatment of diseases of women It is the only medicine in the world that will make the coming of baby safe and easy, You can get it at the drug stores.

 "The religious belief of the Innuit," said Father Barnum, lis of the intangi- ble sort, composed almost entirely of Shamanism Tnr-innuits have vague not one of their number seems able to determine. It is matter that until given little or no attention. Possessing extremely optimistic temperaments, they give not thought of tomorrow beyond the securing of sufficient food to allay the bangs of hunger. Instilled into the minds of every one is belief in an Omnipotent being, whom they call Siamkilligachta, a word which can be freely translated into Observer of the Universe This they have abbrevi- ated to the word 'Agion, which corres- ponds to our word for God. Their idea of heaven is 6 place where whales and salmon abound in the greatest profu- sion, where there is no such thing as starvation, and where everything is happiness.
 "A residence there after death is not necessarily attained as a reward for those who are good, as we know the term, but all are supposed to reach eventually the coveted country through progression, the length of time in mak- ing the journey depending upon his acts while upon earth. A man who has been good to his family, loved his chil- dren, kept them from hunger, etc, is supposed to be transnigrated without any loss of time, but to the old sinner who has been lazy and shiftless. his way will be full of trials and tribula- tions. His sleds will break down, his dogs will die, he will starve and freeze> and, in fact, he will have a hard time to get through at all.
 'The belief in what we call spirits CT ghosts is also universal, and they can rarely be induced to ever visit the bur ial places of their deceased friends and relatives. When one of their number dies he is not buried in a grave, but the remains are carried to dug-out in the side of hill, generally removed some distance from the village, such as are used for winter residences, and are there deposited on the earthen floor.

A RATTLEsNAKI NEOKTIE.
An Indian Girl Sends Strange Gift TO .
Washington Man.

II. +. Dolan, an operator In the Western
Union telegraph Office at the capitol at
Washington, received Christmas present
fromnn Indian maiden at tho Fort Niobrara
(Neb) Indian agency, which was the envy
of all his friends, and which was gazed at
with wonder by score or moro Of con-
gressmen. 1t was a necktie made out of
the skin Of rattlesnake and was adorned
with pin made from tho Ii rattles Of the
snake. Dolan refused TO give the name of
his aboriginal admircr, but when one OF
tho lady stonographers said she thought
tho Indian maid must be very queer sort
of a woman 20 make such present as that
Dolsn came gallantly To hcr rescue.
"She Is far more charming than many
of her white sisters whom l know" he
said. "She has hair like the night, eyes
that are like moons, and in her form is the
grace Of the fawn. Her voice Is as the
murmurings Of the brook"
"Well, that is all very pretty" said a
friend of Dolan's who had listened 10 his
eloquent outburst, "but the question which
outs the most leo Is, Does she stand in for
an allotment"

Attacks of Spanish Papers
in Havana
On United States for Permit
ting Filibustering.
Reports of Recent Engagements
Show CubanS Still Strong.

CINcINNATI, o., Dec. aS.--A special
from Key West, says: The Havana morn
ing papers yesterday were savage against
the United States. and especially against
tnat policy that permits filibustering
steamers to leave port; also against the
esgerness OF the American pre- TO print
"snything to discredit spain," as they
put 1t. The story of the Three Friends
expedition, as printed in New York. Is
used as the text. La Lueha Is especially
litter and sarcastic in its comment stat
ing that "mercenary lying press" 10 to
blame for half the war trouble.
Attacks upon the suburbs of Havana
have become common affair now. Sat-
urcay night the firing could be heard In
the city proper, while the fire from burn
ing buildings could easily tie seen. The
officials sent out extra troops yesterday
for guard duty. Advices from Artemisa
report desultory fighting as Riveras' band
have made several dashes at the Spanish
columns and in two instances inflicted
considerable damage.
Colonel Martins troops were forced
back Saturday morning b. a strong force
of insurgents who drove them half a mile
until reiniorcemenls arrived aud turned
the tide OF battle.
A tight is reported to have occurred
near Pinar Del Rio City Friday, which is
claimed by the Spanish as q victory.
They report tnat they cut to pieces a
large iusurgent band. The battalion OF
Guinea near Matansas, was go, upon
Thursday, by "a large Cusbn force and
compelled t, retreat under tho guns of
the fort at Mainmas. lhey lost 26 men,
wounded and killed. The Cuban loss
was about the same. The Spaniards lost
their field equipment OF tents and many
arms and one small cannon.

1t is usually difficult thing for the
buyers OF the big department stores to
foresee what one article above all others
viii prove tie most popular with small
boys who have reached an age when they
mas claim tie privilege of notifying their
parents in advance what they expect for
Christmas presents. High rubber boots
bave been the fsvorite in Brooklyn this
lest week, and tho strong demand for
this special article found most o: the
stores unprepared. "Ne have sold out
our stock of boys rlbber boots," said one
manager, "and when we attempted to
renew 1T we found that every other de-
partment store in town mad had the same
experience. Apparently every boy in
Brooklyn had suggested that such pres
ent would be acceptable. Last year we
were caught in the same way on small
stationary engines. Until Christmas
week we are in the dark as to what will
be the popular article of the holiday
cusipess, but don't think that we have
ever been SO badly fooled as We were
this year by rubber boots" The men

Remarkable Discovery Mado by Hunt
ing Party In Texas.


A hunting party In NeShoba county,
Choctaw Nation, have made a remarkable
discovery. They had penetrated into the
wilds of the Seven Devils mountains in
search of game. Their dogs chased wild.
cat into large hole at the base Of cliff.
The hunters determined to enter 10. With
lanterns and torches and guns In hand
they proceeded to go In. They pnd gone
only short distance along the narrow on
trance, which was about seven feet in
height, when II opened into large cham
ber with q circular vaulted roof, the center
Of which was some SO or 40 feet from the
floor to ceiling. There was nothing pecul-
lar In tho formation of the stone, 1t being
sort Of hard, red sandstone Several
doors or openings led farther into the
mountain. The hunters took one that
was considerably larger than the rest.
They had gone only few feet when
they found themselves in another cham
Der, which was about 90 by 90 and almost
exactly square. in eharp angle of the
chamber they found seine cooking imple-
ments of the most primitive character,
pile of charcoal apd ashes and sticks Of
wood. This interested She party SO much
that they forgot the game thcy had en-
tinued their Investigations. A few feet
away, upon a ledge OF rock several feet In
width, thoy discovered the skeleton Of a
human being lying upon sofhe kind of
texture that crumbed at the touch. Near
by upon another ledge were found some
books and manuscripts. but they crumbled
to dust when touched.
They doubtless would have told some
thing Of the lifo of the hermit who made
that his retreat long before any other
white man had ever entered those unfre-
quented mountain wilds. Who he was,
where he came from or to what nationality
he belonged will doubtless remain a scaled
book for oil time. After making the dis
coyeries mentioned tn3 party left the cave,
but they announce their determination to
visit the place again prepared 10 explore it
thoroughly. y.-Cleyeland Plain Dealer.

LIZZIE BORDEN'S RIDE.
Report That She Drove Over to See
(. Scho0lmaster Gardner.
He Is the Gentleman Who Recently De-
MED Story Of an Engagement.

A few days ago a report became current
Tiverton, was to marry Lizzie Borden
who since the famous murder trial has
ceased to be in the public eye. Now and
then she is heard of. out her life since
the terrible days, SO well remem bered by
the public, has apparently been unevent-
fol until this report of contemplated
marriage with the schoolmaster.
The news caused quite a stir until it
was absolutely denied by Mr.. Gardner.
The denial was accepted as the truth end
not much attention was paid to the re-
port because the story was believed TO be
an attempt to revive long slumbering
sensation. Additional color has been
given to the first report by something OF
more recent occurrence.
"a few days before Christmas, according
to I he latest story, Mr.. Gardner went
into the woods after ChristmRs greens,
and while searching for desirable mater
ial came in contact with poison ivy or
some other poisonous material. His
face and hands were severely poisoned
and Mr.. Gardner has been unable to
leave his home, located near Coles sta
tion on the Providence, Fall River and
Bristol railroad.
On Christmas day, 1t Is reported that
Lizzie Borden drove over from Fell River
behind pair OF horses, and visited MIR.
Gardner. The report also stated that
she remained with the patient for more
than an hour and then returned to Fall
River.
