There is Joy in this world equal to the
happiness of motherhood. Awoman's health
is her dearest possession. Good looks, good
times, happiness, love and its continuance,
depend upon her health. Almost all of the
sickness of women is tracable directly or in
distinctly feminine Troubles of this kind
are often neglected because very natural
andproper modestv keeps women away from
physicians, whose insistance upon examina-
ton and local treatment is generally as use
less as it is common. DR.. Pierce's Favorite

Green food must be supplied to
chicks. If they are cooped upon fires h
grass the problem is solved, and they
will help themselves to what they
need. If, however, they are confined
in small yards, cut grass CAS- from the
lawn mower, onion tops chopped
fine, lettuce leaves, or even boiled
vegetables, will make good substi
tute. The grass run is the thing if
possible, and substitutes areonly sug-
gested where the grass run is unob-

Fish That Build Nests.

There are fish that build nests just as
birds do. The most interesting are the
paradise fishes Of Japan. The nests they
make are very odd indeed. composed en-
tirely of air bubbles. Ordinarily of a
dull silvery color, the male fish goes
a-wooing in striped costume of red,
blue and green, with streaks of brightest
orange on the ventral fins. Later on the
female constructs the nest, swallowing
air and ejecting it in the shape of bub-
bles held and made permanent by glu-
tinous capsules from a secretion in her
mouth.

Two Lives Saved.

Mrs. Phoebe Thomas, of Junction City, Ill.
was told by her doctors she had consumption
and that there was no hope for her, but two
bottles DR.. Kings New Discovery completely
cured her and she says it saved her life. Mr..
Thos Eggers, 139 Florida ST., San Francisco,
suffered from a dreadful cold, approaching
consumption, tried without result everythin :
else then bought one bottle of DR.. Kings New
Discovery and in two weeks was cured. He
is naturally thankful. It is such results, of
which these are samples, that prove the won
derful efficacy of this medicine in coughs and
colds. Free trial bottles at II. G. Pierce s

In number of the american Jour
nal of Science, Prof. Verrill describes
some singular nocturnal changes IN
the colors of fishes and their curious
habits when sleeping at night. His
observations were made between mid
night and two o'clock a. M, the gas
jets near his aquaria being turned as
low as possible. Most fish, the pro-
fessor says, sleep very lightly, and
are reused by almost imperceptible
vibrations of air or water. Founders
thus seen sleeping at night showed
their dark markings much more
strongly than by day, and the same
was true in greater or less degree of
the markings of certain minnows,
king fish, the black sea bass and
trout, the latter becoming much dark
er by night than by day.

CLOSED DOORS.

why, is question CnaU cOnIrOnUS
us each from the moment when we
first begin to use our reasoning
faculties until the mind ceases to per-
form its work. The question rises con-
stantly to the lips of the child; youth
repeats the familiar word; the stu
dent wrestles with it alone and in
class: manhood meets the sells same
query. Earth's greatest philosophers
have labored long and diligently TO
discover the answer. The scientist
has sought it in the bosom of TIE
earth, in the depths of the sea, in the
atmosphere surrounding the earth.
Even the heavens above have been
explored, and still humanity is not
satisfied
We think we have found the key
and we apply it to the lock. The
door swings open and what have we
found? Some facts, apparently new
and valuable, but they soon become
familiar and we recognize them as
old truths, only in a different
guise. And SO we question again,
and we succeed in opening another
door; but only to reveal other doors
and closed passages, until we might
well despair of ever forcing an en-
trance to all.
But shall we be discouraged? Shall
we refuse to open one door because
we cannot open each? Shall we say,
because there are SO many things we
can never know we will not learn
any of them?' No! rather let US rise
and endeavor to open the door near
est, nor be discouraged if we fail.
There are many doors which will
swing open to our pressure, though
one may resist. The child often ques-
tions why, in vain; but that does not
prevent his asking the same question
concerning something else. Neither
does it prevent his making another
effort, perhaps many, to obtain rea-
son where he once failed.
Why is not an easy question to
answer. We often fail to open the
door at first trial, but persistent effort
will usually succeed though single
attempt be followed by failure. We
may yet be able to make our way
through other passages to the very
room we lately failed to enter. One
question answered, and that makes
way for another. One room entered
and it's treasures won, we shall then
be fitted to enter the next. So, little
guessed before and make their charms
our own.
Earnest desire and determination
to answer just why, will surely lead
forward. Why, opens the way to
knowledge, fame, power, honor and
success. These paths are not easy Of
access and he who reaches the goal
will surely find the ascent difficult.
It is only by constant practice that
we come to open the doors with ease.
A why that the child is unable to
comprehend today, will sometime be
very simple thing for him to ex-
plain. So, we, by continued study
and application, may one day pass
easily and swiftly over the obstacles
and through the passages where once
we stumbled and halted, well-n Ugh
discouraged. Then take courage.
The heights are above and beyond;
the why's are between. But these can
be met and answered, one at time,
and we may yet stand on heights
cleaning now in the far distance.
The paths are many and he who
will go, can go. Are you willing to
make the effort? y. L. A.
