men2 Why is it that the
source, of their highest joys is at the same
time the cause of their greatest wretched-
ness? The very attributes which make it
possible for women to be happy wives and
mothers also render them liable to the ut
most physical misery and pain.
The sufferings of body and mind caused
by some weakness of the distinctly feminine
organs are so almost universal among wo-
men that the question might well be asked:
"Is this Natures punishment for the crime
of being woman?"
The true answer is No! These sufferings
are neither natural nor necessary. They
would not exist if the organism was healthy.
No woman ought to endure such troubles.
There is no need Of it. DR.. Pierce's Favor
ite Prescription is perfect and positive
cure for feminine weakness and disease.
It gives health and strength to the spe-
cial organs and nerve-centres; heals inham-
nation; stops weakening drains; promotes
functional regularity, and restores the nor
NAL, vigorous and painless condition which
Nature intended.
It is the only medicine of its kind in
vented by an educated and experienced
physician. It is the only medicine which
makes baby's coming safe and compare
lively painless
Any woman who would like to know
more about this medicine and about her
own physical makeup should send 81 one
cent stamps to DR.. r. v. Pierce, Buffalo,
N Y, to pay the cost of mailing only on an
absolutely free copy of his thousand-page
illustrated book, "The Peoples Common
Sense Medical Adviser" or, 81 stamps for
cloth covered.
A sure and permanent cure for constipa-
ton is Dr. Pierce's Pellets. One Pellet"
is gentle laxative, two mild cathartic.

Molasses as a Fuel.

The lower grades Of molasses. have
proved unstable at any paying price.
Many Louisiana planters dumped molas-
ses into the bayous, until the authorities
forbade it. II is now used as a fuel,
being sprinkled by machine over the
bagasse, OF the sugar cane from which
the juice has been extracted. This, when
put into the fire, burns with a strong
heat. Its coal value is greater than its
value for any other use, and over a hun
dred thousand tons were used last year.

Home journal.

Nowadays when women are trying to
do everything it is not strange that many
things are Over-dOne. 1t is not strange
that there are all kinds of physical and
mental disturbances. If the woman who
is doctor, or a lawyer, Oh a journalist, OF
in business would not try to be society
woman too it might be different; but the
woman who knows when shs has done a
days work has yet to be born. Usually
woman s way has manifold evils. The
most common trouble resulting from
over exertion, either mentally OF physi-
cally, is constipation of the bowels, with
all its attendant horrors.
DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets are the
most effectual remedy in the market.
They work upon the system easily, natu.
rally. There is no unpleasant nausea
after taking them. No griping-no pain
no discomfort. They are composed OF
materials that go through the system
gradually, collecting all impurities and
like the good little servants that they are
disposing of them effectually.

Value and Uses of cotton-seed Waste.

sCotton-seed waste, which genera

George Jordan on Wonders of the

Home Journal. Every bale of cotton
leaves legacy of half a ton of seed,
which, it is said, brings the planter
nearly as much as his cotton. The oil
is used for finer grades of soap, as a
substitute for lard. and is so near olive
oil that an expert can hardly detect the
difference. The hulls are fed to cattle,
make an excellent fuel, are valuable az
paper stock, and when burned the
ashes make fertilizer which is most
efficacious. 1t has recently been Cis.

Mis- ry Of NAL De Mer.

Bishop Potter is credited with telling
the story which. more aptly than the
thousands of other stories on the same
subject, illustrates the abject misery
and the utter responsibility of sea
sickness.

Wonderful Power Of Niagara.

1t is of course impossibleto figure witt
any degree of certainty on the immense
amount Of power exerted by the continu-
al falling through $50 feet of space of a
volume of water Of the size Of Niagara
river. Approximate figures which have
been deduced from different mathemati-
Clans who have figured and made calcu-
latlons OF that subject are startling in
the extreme. For an instance, one
writer shows that the power that daily
goes to waste at the great falls IS equal
to that exerted in the same length Of
time by every stationary and locomotive
engine in the world. Another, even more
enthusiastic than the first, declares that
during a single week the water that rolls
over Niagara's s brink exerts more force
than have all the men that have lived since
the time of creation.
The most conservative calculations,
however, those by Proctor. Webster and
Spiegle. estimate Niagara's power as be-
ing equal to that of 100000 horses,
which would beequal to about one-fourth
OF the horsepower of the engines of the
world. In making these estimates there
are many discrepancies which should not
exist, for it is a known fact that the fall
is about $50 feet (sheer descent), and that
the volume Of the river is such that it
throws 1850, 100000 cubic feet over the
precipice every hour. With such basis
to figure from it strikes us that the math-
ematicians should be able to ''get to-
gether. '-St. Louis Republic.
