Some people think money Is a greater
power than love. Oh What a mistake
See how the great money kings are con
trolled by the little boy Cupid! See how
the great soldiers and men of power are
twisted around his little fingers!
A woman most precious possession Is
the capacity for awakening pure and noble
love. More potent than wit or intellect is
the womanly capacity for happy wifehood
and motherhood.
A woman who is weak or diseased in the
special organism of her sex is deprived of
the power and prestige which naturally be-
long to her. Such troubles are not a ne
cessity. Perfect health and strength of the
feminine organism is insured by proper
care and the aids afforded by enlightened
medical science. DR.. Pierce's Favorite Pre-
scription cures all weaknesses and diseases
of woman's special organism.
For nearly 80 years DR.. Pierce has been
chief consulting physician to the Invalids'
Hotel and Surgical Institute, of Buffalo,
N. Y. No other physician has had a more
extensive practice or greater success in the
treatment of women's diseases. No other
such perfect and scientific remedy for these
ailments has ever been devised. 1t has re-
stored health, strength and womanly power
to tens of thousands of women.
Women who would understand their own
powers and possibilities should read Doctor
Pierce's thousand page illustrated book,

The old story of Prometheus is a
parable. Prometheus was on terms
of intimacy with the gods. From
them he stole fire, and gave it to men.
For this sin he was bound tothe rocks
of Mount Caucasus, and yultures were
set upon him. They only ate his
liver. This grew again as fast as it
was pecked away. Are his sufferings
to be imagined9
Take a modern Interpretation of the
parable. There is no cooking without
fire. In cooking and eating this mis-
chief lies. The stomach is o~vertasked,
the bowels become clogged, they can
not dispose of the food that is given
them. The impurities back up on
the liver. Then come the vultures-
the torments of a diseased liver. DIR.

with some one else. This is not q case
where two is company and three q crowd"
There are a dozen and one things in which
it is more pleasant, more agreeable and GER
tainly more economical for a party Of two or
more.
WORD AS TO ROOMS AND MEALS.
When you get to town there is no need
to rush to the most expensive hotels-you
can get as good accommodations as you are
accustomed to at q thousand places, more or
less. Get a room at some hotel or private
residence, near the street car line. A good
room need not cost you more than 81 or 81 q
night, if you are with q friend or friends the
expense will be reduced, dividing the cost of
the room to so cents or 81 at most. Nash.
vile is o cheap place to live. You can get q
cheap place to live. You can get a meal,
and a very good one, too, for 20 cents. Any
meal will cost you from 70 cents to 81, &C
cording to the style you put on, and the ex-
c~ellence of the service. Here is where a
party does good again: If you 60 to the
Maxwell House, the Utopia or any other
of the larger restaurants or hotels, everything
is on the European plan. You order what
you want and pay for what you get. Sup
pose there are four at breakfast, there is no
need in the world to order four steaks, two
will be ample, the meal may be diversified
by ordering two omelettes, and say two
pieces of pompano fish. The three dishes
will give each one a trstClass meal at the
cost of a steak for one. In nine out of ten
cases the joint order gives more variety at
less cost. No better meals need be wished
than those served at any of the good hotels or
restaurants. The service is fine, and the
steak something to be remembered. With
the joint orders meals will average so or 60
cents.
THE CHEAP RESTAURANTS.
But the 20 cent meals are very good, and
thousands p~atronize these restaurants. For
instance, on one day they will advertise this

radically new contrivances for holding
the seat post and handle bar stem in
place.
To regulate the height of the handle
bar it is only necessary to turn col
lar, which action will leave the handle
bar free to slide up OF down. Revers-
ing the operation secures the handle
bar in place. The saddle adjustment
is manipulated by pressing a small
lever which projects from the side of
the frame This action will incline
upward tapered eccentric disk inside
the seat post tube, freeing the post.
When the lever is released the pres
sure on the saddle renders the adjust
ment firm. As both handle bar and
seat post tubes are slotted to receive
the internal adjustments, they cannot
be inserted out of line with the frame.
And these are but few of the good
things that the manufacturers have in
store for the riding public next year.
There are to be gear cases galore. Up
to this time few makers in this coun-
try have made any attempt to fit gear
cases to their bicycles, chiefly because
there has not been very large demand
for them.
The much-mooted question of power
transmission will resolve itself in the
minds of many riders, whose analysis
of the subject does not comprehend its
strictly mechanical phase, into study
of internal gearing solely mitigation
of the nuisance of mud clogged and
stifened chains, reform which gear
cases alone could accomplish without
sacrificing the many points of superb

Games of Ancient Origin.

Most people are well aware that the
popular Canadian game of lacrosse or
iginated, goodness knows how, many
centuries ago among the North Ameri-
can Indians. When you come to look
into it, it is quite astonishing how
many games were originally invented
and are to-day practiced by peoples
we are accustomed to think of as saw
ages. Wallace tells us how in Borneo,
one wet day, he thought to amuse his
Dyak boys by showing them a cats
cradle. But he found that they not
only knew it, but knew more intricate
figures than he The Maoris Of New
Zealand actually have sort of pic
torial history in cat's-clad figures Of
twisted fiber. The Sandwich Islanders
play kind of draughts; the South
Sea peoples nearly all are adopts at
kite-fying. Polo comes from Persia,
and is played magnifcently by wild
hill tribes from northern India. Back

Leaves Better Than Lightning Rods.

The green leaf is the best conductor
of electricity-that most powerful and
destructive of all the forces of the
earth. To guard our homes and pub
lie buildings from its destructive action,
we erect our lightning rods, whose
sharp points quietly drain the clouds,
or, failing to do this, receive the dis
charge and bear it harmlessly to the
earth. But ages before Franklin
pointed the first lightning rod to the
storm, God has surrounded the dwell
ings of man with protection far more
effectual than this; for since the crea-
tion of organic life every pointed leaf
and blade of grass has been silently
disarming the clouds of their destruc.
tive weapons. A twig covered with
leaves, sharpened by natures exquisite
workmanship, is said to be three times
as efectual as the metallic points of
the best constructed rod And when
we reflect how many thousands Of
these vegetable points every large tree

some unexpected discoveries are made
which will greatly improve the best of
present chainless patterns, chain
driven machine will be preferred as
possessing fewer disadvantages, espec-
tally as the addition Of gear case
will be an effectual remedy for one of
the principal drawbacks which bevel
gears are intended to overcome.
There are several new designs OF
handle bars on the market. One in
particular has device which will abb
sorb the vibration before it enters the
bar. The bar is rigid in steering and
is also rigid in climbing hill, as the

Artificial Teeth.

The use Of artificial teeth is Of an
cient origin. Two curious specimens
of artificial teeth from the Etruscan
tombs, dating from four or five CEN
turies before the Christian era may be
seen in the museum of Corneto, on the
coast of Italy, in the mouths of two
young girls. On the jaw of one may
still be seen two incisors fixed to their
neighbors by small gold rings, while
in the other, the rings remain, but the
artificial teeth have fallen out. The
teeth, carefully cut, had evidently been
taken from the mouth of some large
animal.

Remembered by the Man She JiIted.

A representative of Mrs. William
Amsbury has just returned to Osce-
ola, Mo-, from Denver, where he went
to inquire about legacy.
Many years ago Mrs. Amsbury was
engaged to be married to a man
named Smith, but owing to quarrel
she married Amsbury the day before
the wedding with Smith was to take
place. All parties were then resi-
dents of Jefferson City Mr.. Smith
at once left for the silver mining
camps of Colorado, and Amsbury is
now laborer in the Osceola lime
works. Fortune smiled upon Smith,
but he never married. A few days
ago he died. and by the terms of his
will his former sweetheart inherits
half the estate, mostly in mining
stocks, and variously estimated at
from $4,000 to $40. 900. st. Louie

The WORLDS Te1egraphic System.

Barely more than forty years have
elapsed since America gave to the
world the unique invention of the tele-
graph, and yet to-day, according to
the latest figures which can be OBJ
tanned, the worlds telegraphic system
embraces in its wide and complicated
area not less than 4, 908, S23 miles of
wire.
This enormous aggregate is dis
tributed among the great divisions of
the earth as follows: Europe, 1,764,
100 miles; Asia, 80, 695 miles; Africa,
80, 419 miles; Australia, 217. 479 miles,
and America, 2,516, 548 miles. From
these figures it appears that more than
fifty per cent. of the worlds mileage
of telegraph wire is on this side of the
Atlantic, but in view of the fact that
the invention itself is of American or
igin, this is just as it should be. But
the fact that America outstrips the
balance of the world in the extent of
its telegraph mileage is not SO much
tribute to its own invention as 1t is
to the extraordinary rate of progress
which has taken place in the Western
Hemisphere during the past fifty years.
Taking the figures as they apply to
the entire world, what higher tribute
could be offered to the genius of Pro-
fessor Samuel F. B. Morse, the re-
nowned inventor Of the telegraph

with increased numbers there is an in
creased demand for cheaper price and
better quality.
Outside of the chainless variety, BIZ
cycles, in all probability, will be
cheaper next year than ever before,
while details in construction will re-
ceive more attention than formerly.
for many have learned from bitter ex-
perience that low prices, good quality
and simplicity must be combined to
insure successes in bicycle construc-
ton. Fixity of pattern has been put
forth as an explanation by some for
the present chaotic condition of the
cycle trade. And it is true that in the
present type Of bicycles manufacturers
think they have attained that point

OF retrogression rather than improve
