One OF the most deeply

One OF the most deeply interesting
and truly educative books ever written
is THE Peoples Common Sense Medi-
cal Adviser" by DIR. r. V. Pierce,
chief consulting physician OF the Inva-
lids Hotel and Surgical Institute,
Buffalo, N. Y. This splendid volume
of zoos pages, includes ninety pages on
the subject of diseases peculiar to
women, with directions for home treat
ment, rendering unnecessary the
embarrassing denominations, and
generally useless "local treatment"
so dreaded by modest women. The
book contains the most comprehensive
explanation of human physiology and
the rational principles of hygiene ever
published. Illustrated with over 300
engravings-a complete medical library
in one volume. No other medical book
in the English language ever had such
an enormous sale. $50, 200 copies were
sold at S1.50 each. DR.. Pierce is now
distributing a new free edition of half
a million copies. A copy will be sent
absolutely free to anyone who will send
to the Worlds Dispensary Medical
association, Buffalo, N. Y, q one cent
stamps to pay cost of mailing only.
The present edition is in all respects
the same a. that sold at S1.5O except
only that it is bound in strong MANILA
paper covers instead of cloth.

HOW Partridges ROOSt.

Among the habits of the partridge,
one is that when a covey is roosting on
the ground, with their tails punched
together in a circle, the bunch is sur
mounted by line of watchful heads
like sentinels on duty. Another is
that they run the instant the ground is
| touched after a ''fush," the dogs often
| trailing them in rabbit-hunting
fashion. Their sense of smell is evil
IDENTIFY very acute, for during the nest
! ing season, if the eggs, which number
from ten to twenty, are disturbed in
any way, or hand even inserted in
the nest, it will be Immediately de-
serted and a new one built. A short
time previous to the nesting the males
are often involved in desperate COM
bats for the choice of mates, who stand
by and quietly watch the encounter,
seeming not to care which one becomes
the victor. The incubation is per-
formed entirely by the female, the
male, when not feeding, often being
couraging her by his mellowtoned call
of "bob white" Two, and sometimes
three, broods of young are reared dur
ing a season, the nesting beginning as
early as May l. Later in the fall the
broods of young occasionally join forces
but whether from want of company or
for protection is not known.
" H0u leSuluS GuS are SOmS-
times scattered several yards apart, but
at the first sign of danger an alarm is
given, and they Immediately "bunch, "
with their heads placed close together,
as if in consultation. The first shot in
to a covey will often cause them to
break and fly in all directions, and if
not disturbed again for several minutes
scatter calls" will be heard on every
side. These are made to collect the re-
naming birds, who again bunch. Many |
of the market gunners seem to have no |
qualms of conscience; and very often |
kill without hesitation an entire covey, |
when at least one or two pairs of birds |
should be left for breeders. The gen.
eral opinion Of the sportsmen of Dor
chester county is that a precaution
against the wholesale butchery of
covey should have place in the code
Of laws for the protection of Maryland
Sun.

Too much Seeley investigation ha:

Too much Seeley Investigation has
driven William Mcintosh of New York
insane and he is now in an asylum. He
has very handsome daughter, Hazel,
who, until short time ago, earned 81
a week in store. She can dance and
sing, and recently accepted the offer of
theatrical agent to give exhibitions
at private dinners. Then she put con-
siderably more than 81 week in the
bank. Since the Seeley sensation the
father has been acting strangely. He
read every word of the stuff that was
published in the papers here, then
hunted around inquiring about the de-
tails that did not appear in print. The
other day he tore up lot of $40 bills
his daughter earned. Then he began
raving of her promising to appear in
living picture poses at a dinner this
week. The mother took her daughters
part, and had him committed to an
asylum. Time will tell you whether
husband or wife is insane.

The Old Homestead.

One of the notable events of the
present theatrical season will be the re.
turn to the opera house of Denman
Thompson's play, 1.-THE Old Home
stead" In this contribution to the
stage, Mr.. Thompson has proven him
self to be in the front rank of modern
authors, and has frightened, by his
work, the thoughts. and, may be, the
lives, of many of his auditors. The
story of the play need not be retold.
Suffice that it is familiar to every one.
The cast is in careful hands, the double
quartetts and the choir of twenty
voices, augmented by the cathedral
chimes, render sweetest music, that
will linger in memory whenever the
thoughts revert back to Uncle Josh
and 1.-THE Old Homestead. The play
will be presented at the. opera house
tomorrow night.

Ocean Frozen Off Coney Island.

For the first time in years the ocean
is frozen off Coney Island. Ice has
formed from close to the shore for
quite distance out to sea to the south
ward of the island, near Sea Gate,
Norton. Point. The bell buoy.
was frozen fast in the ice /Ghis morn
ing and was rigid. IL foes, long
white masses of broken cakes of ice,
were frozen into the smooth surface of
the sea here and there. Gravesend
Bay is completely frozen over from
Norton's Point to Fort Hamilton, but
the ice is not yet thick enough to make
travelling on it safe. Curiously
enough, the temperature at Coney Is
land is from + to 3 degrees warmer
than in New York City. At no time
since the cold weather set in has the
thermometer registered less than 10
degrees above zero there.

TOpoIobampO Victims.

James Medsker, who was among the
number of Americans who took up
their residence at opolobampo, the
cooperative colony west of chihuahua
on3the Pacific coast, a few years ago,
has arrived at Chihuahua destitute and
is seeking to get back to the United
States. He states that the few colonists
at that place are entirely without means
of support and that they are suffering
for food. They are 600 miles from a
railway and have given up hope OF
returning to their old homes. The
government CANCEL edconcessions un-

ors and privileges. The attention of
United States Minister Ransom will be

A Rigid INTERPRETATION.

The street car company has been
notified by Collector Bauche that the
cars can run on the Mexican side only
between 7 a. M, and 9 p. IN. The rail
way management does not see any
good reason for thus putting the
brakes on, and incline to the belief
that the shutting off passes has some
thing to do with the rigid interpreter
tion of the law. This new order will
work inconvenience to more than one
class of people, but the company pro-
poses to saw wood and say nothing.

Stuart is now working for a "biff1 ng
match" between Maher and Sharkey
and sent the following telegram to
One-Eyed-Quinp, Makers financial
manager:
tsAre you willing for Maher to fight
Sharkey about March II, if agreeable
to Sharkey?"
into Lynch, Tom Sharkey's manager,
which read as follows:
How about Sharkey meeting
Maher about March II, providing al
ways that Maher is willing? Answer. -
1t is very likely that match between
Maher and Sharkey will be shaped up.
If so, the fight will be pulled off after
the big fellows settle their little dis
pute and decide which one is to walk
away with the So, 600 purse and the
belt. There will be no curtain raisers
Corbett aud F'itzsimmous will get next
to each other on March II, according
to the present programme, and the
lesser events will follow in their re-
gular order.
Corbett has got back in his old time
form and is strong favorite in betting
circles. The pools now give 10 to on
Corbett and if his training is good it
will run above that point.
There is strong talk of a special
party from Ell Paso going to Nevada,
and they are now waiting for the rail-
roads to decide on rates so they can
tell inst how to figure on costs It is
estimated that the round trip from
Chicago will be So, but as the West
ern Passenger association has not met
yet nothing definite can be learned.
The association will probably meet
and decide on rate at an early
date.
Corbett will either train in Nevada
or California and is making prepare
tions to move west in few days. Sports
are DESTROYS for him to train in Nevada
so that the state will reap all the
benefits possible for the ''free state"

Fitzsimmons has been notified where
the battle ground will be and intends
starting for Nevada at once. In late
interview in regard to training Fitz-
simmons said:
81 think it is not necessary for me to
take heavy work: [ have no flesh to take
off and simply desire to make my wind
good and keep my muscles supple. The
running and light exercise will do this
for me. [ won't box or punch the bag
for at least two weeks, as l want to give
my sore knuckle good rest before US
ing it. 1t is all right now, the swell
ing has gone down.
Il don't know who will train or sec
ond me yet, as Martin Julian may be
prevented from going with me on &C
count of his mothers serious illness.
At the present time l weigh about 16S
pounds, and 1 will be but a few pounds
lighter on March II when enter the
ring" Jack Stelzuer who is now in
Frisco will probably join Fitz again.

The Nevada Free State.

Nevada is now uppermost in the
minds of sports throughout the country,
and the world for that matter. 1t is
an oasis in a barren desert to the prize
fighter, the only spot near civilization
where the great battle between Cor
bett and F'itzsimmons can face each
other in squared ring without legal
restrain. The mill must, however, be
a glove contest. No bare knuckle con
test are to be allowed. The fight must
be of the ''fair and square" order and
the promoters must plank down 81, 900
hard cash before the license are issued.
This proviso will bar all "smal fry"
fights and make all events first class.

Dan Stuart is now supposed to be on

as he said he will go to San Francisco
first, it may be possible he will pass
through Ell Paso. If so he will prob
ably arrive here tomorrow morning.

Grand Masquerade Ball.

The grand masquerade ball given by
Mrs. Sprague, in Crawford's hall last
evening was without a doubt, the event
of the season. The costumes in most
part were the handsomest yet displayed
in Neihart. Comical characters were
numerous and were taken by comedians
of rare ability. Altogether the affair
was one, such as has never been excelled,
and it goes without saying, that with
Mrs. Sprague at the head of such an un-
dertaking, nothing but success is poss-
Bile.
Supper was served at the National
hotel, but we deem it unnecessary to
pass comment upon its quality. The
reputation of that establishment is too
we'll known. An announcement of the
supper being served there was sufficient to
bring out the most fastidious.

There are s~eventy-five boys in the choir

an alto solo, the most beautiful | ever

music fairly rolls out of him, and fills
the building. The leader is a boy, said
to be the finest male soprano singer in

From Wisconsin.

Mr.. Bennett, is in receipt of a letter
from H. b. Mackey, now at Quincy,
Wisconsin, in which he states: There
has not been any snow here this winter
to speak of. 1t has rained a greater part
of the time, killing the winter crops.
Prices of produce have fallen to almost
nothing, farmers being unable to give
their products away. They take it to
market, but are often compelled to haul
it home again.
The farmers are sinking into one long
deep rut, but so slowly and steadily that
they do not realize the depth to which
they have sunk, and bear their burdens
without protest.
1t makes one pause and think of the
condition of this class of our citizens
s'the bone and sinew" of the land, the
mainstay of the country.
