THE SECRET OF SUCCESS.


one pa rticular thing, his Invention is
likely to do that one thing thoroughly and
completely.
THE SECRET OF SUCCESS.
The same rule holds in medicine. That
is the secret of the wonderful success Of
Dr. r. V. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip-
tion for women. 1t heals and strengthens
the organs distinctly feminine. 1t pre-
vents the weakness and cures the diseases
peculiar to women. i is not intended for
any other purpose; it is not panacea
for all sorts Of troubles; its sole object
is to prevent and cure this one class OF
disorders and weaknesses, and it fulfills
this one purpose absolutely and completely
as no other medicine has ever done. 1t
directly strengthens, heals and builds up
the healthy condition OF the delicate
feminine orga pism, thus reaching the in
ternal source of female ailments; and cur
ing radically and permanently all derange-
mentS and unhealthy conditions. 1t stop.
debilitating rains; cures Inflammation
and liberation; restores functional regu-
larity; imparts vigor and elasticity to the
tissues and ligaments; and promotes
sound, normal, healthy condition.
A BLESSING TO sen SITIVE WOMEN.
Dr. Pierce's Favorlte Prescription has
done away with all necessity of the en-
barrassing examinations and local treat
ment' SO dreaded by modestly sensitive
women; and which except in very rare in
stances is totally needless and useless.
Such treatment frequently does more harm
than good; at best it Is q mere superficial
make-shift and nineteen times In twenty
results in utter failure. This is u striking
contrast to the results Of DR.. Pierce's prac-
tice, which in period OF nearly thirty years
| and the treatmentof more than tw 20 hundred
| and fifty thousand women, shows record
| of over ninety cures in every hundred
| cases.
For nearly thirty years DR.. Pierce has
| been chief consulting physician to the In
| valids' Hotel and Surgical Institute of Buff
| falO, n. Y, and has attained an emln en- ce
secondto nonein his profession as aspecialist
| iu diseases of women. The fruits of his un-
| equaled experience are embodied in the
| "Favorite P description, the unfailing helper
| and strengthener of women in every critical
| period Of her existence.
| FOR MOTHERS.
Prospective mothers and nursing mothers
| will find the Prescription" wonderful
| sustainer and help in their time Of trial
| and Of early motherhood. Taken early dur
| ing CESSATION it completely overcomes all
the perils of parturiton; shortens confine-
| ment and labor, and dfvests 1T OF large
degree of pain and discomfort. Young
| mothers will insure their own recuperative
| powers, and abundant healthy nourishment
| for the child by the use Of the 'Favorite
| Prescription during the nursing period.
| REMARKABLE EVIDENCE.
The fact that the sales OF DR.. Pierce's
| Favorite Prescri ption exceed the com >
bined sales of all other medicines for
women is remarkable evidence of the
high esteem in which women hold this
| wonder-working remedy, and its unex-
ampled success. 1t is the only medicine
on the market adapted specially to the
Intricate and delicate organism OF women,

Railroad commissioners Oppose the

A MethOdical Pussy.

A feline of which the ticket collec.
tor at the Shackamaxon Street Ferry
is the proud and happy possessor has
literally made name for itself. The
cat came to the ferryhouse about six
months ago as homeless orphan, and,
being a mottled animal, was duly
adopted under the appropriate name
OF Speck. Since that time Speck has
manifested a lively interest in the af-
fairs of the ferry, particularly in the
arrival of the boats. Before the ar
rival of boat the methodical puss
takes up her station just inside the
gate and remains there until the last
passenger has landed. Then she re-
tires into the waiting room and reap
pears just in time to see the boat leave
the slip. At all hours of the day anc
night while the boats are running the
cat continues mysterious vigil, and
in recognition of her peculiar trait
the ticket collector has heightened the
name Of his Intelligent pet, it now be.
ing known as Inspector. -Philadel.

Foreigners in European Cities.

LIE Steele, Paris, says that there is
no chief city in Europe which con-
tains such large proportion Of for
eIgners as Paris. In London there
are 95, 900 foreigners; in ST. Peters
burg there are %. 900, or twenty.four
to every 1000 inhabitants; in Vienna,
$4,000, or twenty-five per 1000; in
Berlin, is, 1000, or eleven per 1000.
These portions are small in comparl-
son with Paris, where there are 49,, i.
600 foreigners, or seventy.fve per
1000, to which number must be added
47,0C0 nsturslized French subjects.
In Paris there are 26, S63 Germans,
and in Berlin there are only 397
French p people. As a general rule,
foreign competition Is less keen in the
occupations engaged in by women
than in those by men, always except
ing the occupations of domestic ser.
wants and governesses.

New, Railway s yst en.

The new electrical railway system
invented by M. Murphy aud Albert F.
Pierce, of..Danbury, Conn. dispenses
with the overhead wires and the con-
duit underneath the car. The surface
only of the road is used, and the car
takes the power from the section OF
rail directly beneath it. Between the
rails on which the car runs is third
rail, laid in short sections, each Sec
ton being perfectly insulated from
every other section. The car, in pass.
ing, automatically engages the section
OF this third rail directly beneath it,
and from it takes it's power. This is
done by one wheel of the car which
touches push pin, thus operating
mechanism placed underneath the rail,
which in turn makes the connection
with and charges the section of rail
over which the car is passing. AS the
car moves forward and touches another
pin, the section il the rear is cut out
the same instant the one for ward is
charged.
The main or feed wire, insulated, is
buried along the outside of the track.
From this feed wire insulated wires
run to each section of the rail from
which the car derives its power. These
wires pass to the section through the
mechanism by which the connection is
both made and broken. The mechanism
is simple, consisting Of . lever. apawl,
q wheel, shaft and an electrical
switch. \ All OF this mechanism is in.
cased in box cast especially for it,
water tight as we'll as dustproof. There
is fuse box between the wire and
every section of rail, which makes it
impossible to charge the rail up to the
danger point. Any more than the re-
quired voltage burns the fuse and
makes the rail dead. The charged rail
is never exposed from beneath the car.
All the mechanism used is cast in
the foundry, making it comparatively
inexpensive, and also possible to re-
place any part at moments notice.
The electrical connection is made and
broken by mechanical means. There
is no magnetic switch device. An ex-
perimental section has been laid at
Westport, Conn. Iron Age.

The Maneuyres of Rocks.

The following account of some man
oeuvres OF an army of rocks in Nor
mandy may be of interest to some of
your readers. Early in this month I
was passing along the valley of the
River Eure, in Normandy. when !
stopped to watch the proceedings Of
these rocks, which were assembling in
large quantities on the low hills on the
left side Of the little river valley. AS
the rocks flew in from ell sides TO this
rendezvous, they settled down on the
hillside in six separate bodies or regi.
ments, each regiment being separated
from those on either side of it by
distance of some fifty to hundred
yards. In this position they remained
till apparently all the rocks had ar.
rived, When the last late comers had
settled down, however, q band of ten
or twelve few up from the first regi-
ment-that is to say, the one which
had taken up its position nearest the
spot where / was standing, and which
was on the extreme right Of the line.
This body then few away in the direc!
tion away from the river-presumably
to search the country for other strag.
glers, for in a few minutes they re.
turned, their number increased to
seventeen Or so. Nosooner had these
last settled down than q, single rook
got up from the first regiment, and
started to fly down the line, causing
an immense claraor of cawing as he
went; having reached the farther end,
the sixth regiments ] must call it,
for want Of o better term-the sixth
regiment rose into the air as one rook,
and few down into the valley, to set
tie in the trees forming an avenue on
each side of the river. The aide-de-
camp rook then commenced his flight
back along the line, and as he re-
passed, each of the remaining regi-
ments, one after another, rose sepa-
rately into the air, and flew down to
the trees by the river, where they all
settled down for the night. London

A Gigantic Chandelier.

The great chandelier dome of the
German Parliament Building, in Ber-
lin, has recently been completed, and,
will now be put up in the place it is
intended for. Artistically, as well as
technically, it is Of astonishing per-
fection, and represents the best efforts
OF the architect, sculptor, electrician,
tand metal-worker. 1t is constructed
in the medieval ring shape, of which
we still find examples from the
eleventh and Twelfth centuries in some
of the great monuments of that time.
The ring candelabra, representing the
ring Of walls of Jerusalem, the Heay-
emily City. with gates, and towers as
described. in the Apocalypse. which
can still be seen at the cathedral in
Aix-la- Chapelle, is the nearest ap-
pYoach to q large ornamental Candida
bra, although it WAS placed there more
than 700 years ago. !.
From these models Architect
\ Dedreaux has designed the great or.
namental candelabra for the Parlia.
ment, which is not less than. twenty.
six feet in diameter. Its circumfer-
ence is so large that q good.sized dane.
ing floor could be erected within the
space covered by it. The colossal ring
shows wall crowned wltL turrets and
porticos, with original ornaments,
Twelve massive gntes piercing the wall.
Within the doorway Of each gate some
famous German is represented by q
life.like statue. -,
Around these walls and below them
100 incandesccnt lamps and twelve arc
lights, mounted in suitable ornaments.
furnish enough light for the immense
hall underneath. The ring is sup
ported by four lateral girders, uniting
under an ornamental canopy, which
in turn is crowned by colossal crown
of the German Empire. The weight
of tie whole candelabrs is SO, 900
pounds. The new candelabra will be
mounted and put into place in time
for the opening of the winter season,
which will occur soon. -Philadelphia

Tie Squirrel Returned.

Early last winter man in Buck
sport, Me-, caught a young squirrel,
put it in cage, and made q pet Of
It. The animal became very tame,
and was permitted to have consider
able freedom. It never seemed dis
posed to take to the woods again, SO
long as the cold weather lasted But
in the spring it disappeared. A week
or SO ago the squirrel returned, and
took up its quarters in the cage again.
Some people, claiming great knowledge
of squirrels, appear to doubt the ac-
curaey of this story but the man who
tells it has a squirrel and 9 cage to
show for it, and only regrets that
squirrels can't talk. New York Sun.

An Undutilul Son.

General Skobelef, the famous Rms.
sian soldier, was a notorious son. His
father happened to be General also.
Skobeleff, ST., took care OF his worldly
goods, while Skobeleff, Jr., had no re.
gard for money-that is, when he had
any. So long as the father was the
sons superior in rank things went all
right for the father, but when the son
was promoted over the fathers head
there came a sad change. Whenever
his martini progenltor refused to give
him money Skobeleff, Jr., threatened
to order the poor old man under ar.
rest, and sometimes did not hesitate
to execute his threat, despite the
prayers and tears of the unlucky par
ent. He always had money hence.
