Bright faced, happy, rollicking, playful
babies, thousands of them all over the
broad land have in their bodies the seeds
of serious diseases, and while they laugh
and play are facing death. The mother, In
the majority of cases, Is unconsciously re-
sponsible for this sad state of affairs. Where
the mother, during the anxious period, suf-
fers from weakness and disease of the dis
tinctly feminine organism, 1t Is useless to
expect sound and healthy baby. Every
woman may be strong in womanly way,
and have robust, happy children.
A wonderful medicine for women is DIR.
Pierce's Favorite Prescription. II is the
discovery of an eminent and skillful spe-
cialist, DIR. r. v. Pierce, for thirty years
chief consulting physician to the Invalids'
Hotel and Surgical Institute, at Buffalo,
N. Y. 1t is medicine that acts directly
and only on those delicate and important
organs that bear the burdens of maternity.
1t makes them strong healthy and elastic.
1t allays Inflammation, heals liberation,
stops facilitating drains and soothes pain.
1t gives rest and tone to the tired nerves Il
fits for wifehood and motherhood. 1t does
away with the discomforts of the expectant
period and makes baby's coming easy and
comparatively painless. Honest druggists
will not offer an inferior substitute for the
sake Of little extra profit.

Dangerous Ink.

1t sometimes happens that q trifling
scratch or puncture made with pen
gives rise to dangerous septic@mia.
The chemical constituents of the ink
which is introduced by the pen into the
wound are not capable of producing sep
tic@mis, but mioroscopical examina-
ton proves that the i'll effects are due
to the liability Of ink to contain patho-
genie bacteria. DR.. Marpmann Of Leip-
sic has recently published the results Of
the microscopical examination of 8v
samples of ink used in schools. Most Of
them were made with gall nuts and
contained saprophytes. bacteria and mi
crooocci. Nigrosin ink taken from
freshly opened bottle was found to con-
tain both saprophytes and bacteria. Red
and blue ink also yielded numerous
bacteria. In two instances DR.. Marp-
mann succeeded in cultivating from
nigrosin ink bacillus which proved
fatal to mice within four days. This
ink had stood in an open bottle for
three months, and the inference I'd be
drawn from the Enquiry is that ink !.
used in schools should always be kept
covered when not i4 use.--London Lam

A BIT OF JEALOUSY.

Near the Parc Monceau is q pretty
little house that seems to hide in bush
Of clematis the home of young and
charming widow of 90. The sacrament
of baptism gave her the name of Louise
and the sacrament of marriage made
her the Countess of viry. She had as @
pet and constant companion delicate
little Mexican poodle, all white and
woolly, to which was given as its sole
nourishment lump of sugar in the
morning and sweet biscuit in the even
ing. His name was Nito
1t was 4 o'clock. Louise was running
along the pebbly paths Of her garden,
fitting among the rosebushes like 3
butterfly.
Nito playfully pursued his mistress
with barks of delight, at times Selling
with his teeth the ruffie of her blue
muslin dress, and, propping himself
upon his paws, pulled at it with all his
strength.
In the midst of their play M. Jacques
de Beauchamp entered the garden. The
little widow, perceiving him, hid her
self behind an orange tree. But jacques
ran to her and, surprising her, kissed
her on the forehead
"Ah, M. de Beauchamp," she cried,
THAT is not nice of you"
Louise was of medium height. She
had very small hands and feet, white
shoulders and thick black hair. Her
teeth were so white that when she laugh
ed they glistened like pearls. How we'll
she carried her widowhood and in
way to honor herself The young maid
en- is generally too timid and bashful.
She bushes and casts down her eyes at
the least word Of compliment The
widow, on the other hand, has the right
to hear everything, and when one speaks
to her of love she knows readily what
that means.
Louise leaned upon the arm of M.
de Beauchamp, and they went into the
parlor, followed by Nito, who threw
some jealous chances at him who was
to be the future husband of his mistress.
OF course the poor little animal could
not have known that 1t must have
been jealous instinct.
Louise and jacques agreed so well
that they had planned to be married.
Nevertheless each Of them had defect.
M. de Beauchamp was jealous and
Nine. de Viry was coquettish.
Louise" he said to her, "you will
drive me to despair. You say that you
love me, but how can believe it when
! see you smiling at every admirer and
giving to every conner so sweet a recep-
ton? When see you in society so full
Of life and gayety and hear your ring
ing laughter from the midst Of circle
Of ardent admirers, it is impossible for
me to tell you the fortunes and anguish
I endure
"And what can l do dear?'' replied
Louise. II am gay, 1t is true, but is
that crime? And why should I be cold
to those who approach me only to say
pleasant and agreeable thipgs?"
"You are coquette, and your laugh
makes me despair, because If you laugh
thus against my wish it must be only
10 show your teeth. You know very
we'll how adorable you are when In
laughing with fixed purpose you throw
back your head and show your pretty
white. neck"

Curzon Tells the British House of Com-
mons About Seals.

mons ABOUT SEALS
London, July 20.-In the commons yes
terday Curzon made a statement that
must be considered reply to the impu-
tations made in Secretary Sherman's let.
ter of bad faith on the part of Great
Britain regarding the seals. Curzon
said that two British gunboats patroled
Behrfng sea In 1895, three in 1896 and two
this year. The Americans had no gun
boats, but used revenue cutters, five to
six Of them each year. The agreement
made in 1894 forbade the use Of firearms
by British sealers in the Behring sea,
but 1t was found in practical experience
that these prohibits were not effective
in protecting the sealers from unneces-
sary interference, and in 1895 the gov
eminent decided not to renew the agree
ment.
The regulations under the Paris award
did not contain, said Curzon, a provision
forbidding sealers to be in the possession
of arms, but arrangements were made
by which sealers clearing direct from
British Columbia were furnished with
certificates that they had no firearms
on board, while for vessels on the Aciatic
side arrangements were made whereby
they deposited their arms at some rem
devious before entering the sea. The de-
lay in the completion Of Professor
Thomson's report was due partly to his
professional duties and partly to the
necessity of awaiting the arrival Of GER
tain notes and information which he had
asked Mr.. Macoun, the Dominion agent,
to furnish him. Curzon described the
Pheasant as a first-class gunboat and
the Wild Swan as slOOD.

Again Frees Spalding, Alleged Embezzler
of College Funds at Chicago.
Chicago, July 17.-For the second time
in two months jury in the criminal
court has found Charles w. Spalding,
ex-treasurer Of the University of Illi-
nois, not guilty Of embezzling the en-
dowment bonds Of the institution. Yes
terday, as before, the single word Gin
tent" saved Spalding. The instructions
to the jury by the court were that unless
1t was sure that Spalding intended to
embezzle it must acquit him.
The jurors said after the verdict that
while there was no doubt that Spalding
embezzled, there was doubt whether he
intended to embezzle and nothing could
be done but acquit. Eight ballots were
taken, the first being seven for convic-
ton and five for acquittal. There are
twenty-five indictments against Spald-
ing. He will be tried again.

Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound

Will cure the worst forms of female
complaints, all ovarian troubles, in
fammation and liberation, falling and
displacements of the womb, and conse-
quent spinal weakness, and is pecu-
liarly adapted to the change of life.
Every time it will cure Baclkache.
1t has cured more cases of leucor-
rhea by removing the cause, than any
remedy the world has ever known it
is almost infallible in such cases. 1t
dissolves and expels tumors from the
uterus in an early stage of develop
ment, and checks any tendency to can
corous humors. Lydia e. Pinktam's
Liver Pills work in unison with the
Compound, and are sure cure for
constipation and sick headache. Mrs.
Pinkham's Sanative Wash is of great
valne for local application.

customary examination before receiving
his appointment as consul at Hamilton.
Ont. The examination is conducted by

This action was the outcome OF the
scandals which have conferred about the
mailbag repair shop more or less for
years, and it is the direct result Of an in
vestigation which was made by the Sec
ond assistant postmaster general. Major
Tyler is one of the best-known officials
in Washington, and came here from

Donovan of Bay City.


Lone" John Donovan Of Bay City was
in the city for several days during the
week, and received many attentions at
the hands of the Michigan delegation.
Senator Mcmillan rendered him the use
of his committee room as his headquar-
tiers during his stay, and Donovan held
quite a reception, shaking hands with
a number of senator's and representa-
tives. Mr.. Donovan became famous for
holding up the Democratic banner
through the whole term of Michigan
legislature single-handed.
Judge Benjamin A. Harlan Of Grand
Rapids was made chief Of a division in
the pension office last week. The judge
is very popular with the clerks Of his di-
vision, many Of whom have been there
during the entire fifteen years that
Judge Harlan has been in office. They
presented the Judge with beautiful and
rare potted palm as token of their re-
gard for him.
Among the Michigan visitors this week
was H. L. Fifield Of Menominee.
Congressman Spalding few days ago.
in looking over the Wyandotte postoffice
case, learned that the resignation of W.
w. Colfax, who was recently appointed
postmaster OF that place, had not been
accepted, although Mr. Colfax insists
that it be done. General Spalding fears
that Mr.. Colfax has nervous prostration.
but hopes he may recover so that he will
not be obliged to appoint another man.

inaugurste a better policy.
The rivalry between the lire officers and
the~en gineer officers Of the navy Is always
alive. and it will surely come up 10 plague
Secretary Long and Assistant Secretary
Roosevelt. The contest has developed
into something very like a scandal which
is sapping the vitality OF the navy. and
there is a question whether the fault lies
IN the discipline OF the naval academy,
among whose graduates the strife is be-
ing waged. or in the organization aboard
ship. There are those who say the trouble
originates in the academy. and who sug-
gest that If either the line or the engineer
officers are correct in their expressed
opinions OF each others competency. the
training OF at least one set OF these officers
at the academy ought 10 be stopped.
1t is asserted by the engineers that there
are too many line officers above the pro-
tective deck, giving too many orders to
the too few engineers beneath, and that
this is one of the causes for the
great cost of repairs 20 our war
ships. An examination OF the British
navy list and the United States navy
register shows that in English service
there are one-half as many engineers as
sailor officers, while in the United States
navy there are four times as many sailors
as engineers. This is assigned as one of
the reasons for the alarming number of
hreakdowns and prostrations among the
commissioned officers OF the engineer
corps.
Altogether. the new secretary OF the
navy will have plenty os interesting prob
lens TO wrestle with. and il is doubly
fortunate that he enters upon the task
without prejudiees or affiliations.
