more beautiful, more completely pleasing
than womanly woman? Such woman
is even tempered, intelligent, strong and
healthy. Health really tells the whol4
story. Health means strong nerves and
strong body, and they go far toward
bringing good looks and amiability.
A woman worn and wear1ed by the
dragging weaknesses peculiar to her sex,
cannot be expected to find zest in any
duty or amusement. Life is all one dead
monotonous gloom to her. On her face
is written the story of weakness and pain.
The who1esomeness of health is lacking.
The cheeks lack fullness, the eyes lack
sparkle, the hair lacks 1uster.
Doctors have learned to locate nine
tenths of womanly sickness in the organs
that ought above all others to be strong
and healthy.
Sensitive women shudder at the
thought of consulting a physician on
such matters. A natural feeling of mod
esty makes them dread the examination,
and subsequent stereotyped treatment by
"loca1 applications" on which most
doctors insist.
Much more often than not, this is un-
necessary. 1t should not be submitted
to except as a last resort.
DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription has
cured thousands of severe cases of "fe-
male weakness" It works in a natural,
sensible way. 1t begins by subduing the
Inflammation that is always present.
Then it strengthens and invigorates the
whole body, particularly the organs dis
tinctly feminine. 1t promotes regularity,
cures Inflammation and liberation, and
stops the facilitating drain caused by
them. Of all dealers.

There was quite a serious accident
that occurred at the crossing one mile

they desired to stop, consequently they
were carried by. At the crossing one
who was holding on to the irons at
side of car either lost his grip OF

up . small barn on his place near
Morgant0wn, using willow sap
plings for posts, sinking them into
the ground. Last spring the sap
lings had grown until the floor OF
the barn was nine feet above the
ground. He laid another floor and
put siding around the nine feet

Limitations of the Elec-
tOral Franchise.

The vote in Connecticut in favor
Of an educational qualification was.
by the latest returns, 47,OO5 to
1850. or more than 10 to !.
Every township in the State voted
for it. The unanimity OF the vote
leaves little doubt Of the sentiment
Of the State. Connecticut contains
. considerable foreign population,
but only those foreigners voted
against the amendment who could
not read English.
A half century ago the sentiment
Of this country in favor of universal
suffrage was very strong, an6 the
franchise was gradually extended,
taking in the illiterates, paupers
and even recently arrived foreigners
who had not had time to become
American citizens. The tendency
is all IN the other direction to-day,
for We have found that this liberty
was doing more harm than good.
The fact is that when Americans
declared for universal suffrage the
population was more or less homo
genous; but when the franchise
was extended % the negro, aud the
immigration grew less select aud
desirable, universal suffrage be-
came less popular. All the changes
10 the suffrage lately have been in
the direction Of its Limitation TO per-
sons who are thought to be fit for it.
Minnesota recently wiped out q
provision in its Constitution, SINH
lar to one in ours, which grants the
franchise to foreigners who have
given notice OF their intention to be.
come natural:zed. and now Con-
necticut shuts out all illiterate Der.
sons and those who do not know
English.
There have been q score OF SINH.
lar limitations made of late, and

erai drift Of public sentiment in this
country in deciding to weed out
