who is physically weak and nervous and in
capable, is likely to be ill-natured too The
sweetest temper is ruined by continual
sickness,
A woman whose nerves are constantly
racked and dragged by facilitating drains
and inflammation cannot be genial com

These troubles prevail almost universally
among women largely because of careless
them. Dr. Pierce's Favofite Prescription is

1t heals, strengthens and purifes. 1t is the

OREGON AGAIN AFLOAT.

Washington, April 14.-Commandant
Whiting, of the naval station at Bremen
ton, Washington, reported further to-
day to the Secretary of the Nevy respect
ing the grounding of the Oregon while
lying off the new dry dock there. 1t
appears from his report that while the
exact amount of damage to the ship
has not yet been ascertained, it is proba-
bly, slight and not sufficient to delay the
ship moment from going to sea for hard
service if necessary. Commandant Whit
ing says that the Oregon was lying moor
ed off the mouth Of the dry dock waiting
until the next high tide to go in. She
was deep in the water and as the night
tide was the highest she was lying off
waiting until 2 a. m. AS the tide fell
away the big ship rested on the bottom
at a point just beneath her forward tur-
ret. When the tide came in she entered
the dock without mishap.
