There is marvellous medicine for women
that cures all weakness and disease of the
distinctly feminine organism. 1t acts di-
rectly on the delicate and important organs
concerned in maternity and makes them
strong and healthy. 1t is DR.. Pierce's Fa-
vorite Prescription. 1t allays Inflammation,
heals liberation and soothes pain. 1t gives
rest and tone to the tortured nerves. Under
its magic influence the headaches and pains
in the back and sides, the dragging and
burning sensations, the nervousness, weak
ness lassitude and dependency that result
from So called female weakness are ban
ished. It fits for wifehood and motherhood.
Taken during the period of solicitude, 1t
banishes the usual discomforts and makes
baby's entry to the world easy and almost
painless. It insures the new comer's health
and an ample supply of nouTishment.

engine and boiler are placed is 16 feet
long by four and one-half feet wide.
The top of the smoke stack is seven
feet from the top OF the rails. The
wheel base is five and a half feet. The
engine is duplex and with the boiler
is of the high speed order. The engine
and boiler and the car on which these
are mounted cost less than $500.
The further equipment of the Bucks
Hill line consists of two cars each four

M. Victor Berard was a professor for
s%tantinople, and in the Revue de Paris
draws a portrait of the Sultan, which
confirms others recently printed; Abdul
Hamid is a gentle, shy, civil man, rath-
err cold at a first interview, but whose
manner becomes winning on better &C
quaintance. His temper is even, his
address affable, his native intelligence
above the average, but his culture is
nil. The gross farces of the Turkish
stage and penny horrible" French lit
erature are his great delight. He has
ordered the whole of Xavier de Monte

perhaps stimulated, is narrow and

that he was going to escape. But al
ways the velvet paws, with the long,
sharp claws springing out of them, had
caught him just in time. So at last he
lay still, painting, not knowing which
way to turn.
He stood with his back against the
iron fence in front of Trinity church.
There was just light enough in the
western sky to give the pile of stone a
shadow which fell upon h%urrying thou
sands who did not notice it.
Herrick's hands were in his pockets.
He crumpled a cracking piece of paper
which meant that he could live several
days longer if he cared to do so. AS to
a more extended future, he could not
picture it. All the lines of his life
seemed to end in a knot, which could
by no means be united, but must
merely be dropped. He remembered
that there were miracles, but he could
not think Of one to wish for.
From 8 o'clock till A the crowd in
that part of Broadway is rich and pros
porous; from 4 till 5 it boasts of
wealthy connections and takes a
strong interest in life; after 5 it loses
caste rapidly, and by 6 it is a lot of
weary people going home to supper.
Herrick felt the degeneracy of the
throng without really seeing it. If a
whole street full of people could get
shabby in an hour, was it any wonder
that he had lone it in five years?
He crossed Broadway and walked
down Wall street, slowly and with
hesitation, for he had no errand. A
voice cried, Cab, sir!" almost in his
ear. He turned and looked up at the
man on the box.
"Is it possible" he said to himself,
that l still look like a gentleman"
He felt toward the cabman as toward
one who had given him a helping hand.
Why not pay the debt? To do SO would
cost him only a day of his life. He had
a five dollar bill in his pocket.
YES" he said; take me up to the
Fifth avenue hotel"
1t was the first place that had come
into his mind. He got into the cab and
snapped the door. The cushioned seat
and the comfortable support for his
head were very refreshing. A fancy
came to him that he would dine decent
ly and then go to a theater. The ex-
travagance would be trifing, for it was
really of small Importance whether he
starved to death or Sunday or the fol-
lowing Wednesday. He was in a mood
to make a jest of it all.
A strong glare from an electric light
struck down into the carriage, and
made visible to him a package in brown
paper that looked as if it might be a
sandwich. The object protruded from
under the, seat. He thought it must be
the cabman's supper which had been
hidden in some small locker and had

fallen upon the floor. The idea thai
the food should be spoiled was disa-
greeable to Herrick and so he picked
up the little brown bundle.
He knew that the contents Of that
package was money. 1t felt like a
mass of bills folded, awkwardly
wrapped up, and fastened with elastic
bands. Through the brown covering
Herrick could feel the crlspness of the
government paper. The amount might
be a poor mans monthly wages or a
rich mans profit on a great ransa
ton.
1t seemed a long time before another
light struck in upon him. At the mo-
ment when it did so he saw a face close
to the cab door and he lodged back,
covering the bills with his hands. But
the chance passenger on the street saw
nothing; he was thinking of his own
affairs, no doubt, and had no inkling
of the strange thing that passed so
close to his eyes.
Herrick was himself again in a mo-
ment, and he bent forward, eagerly
scanning the bills in his hand, and
counting them feverishly. There were
40 of them, and each was of the de-
nomination of 81, 900.
Throughout the later period of the
young mans misfortunes, he had had
substantially but one wish-to rest.
Rest has many forms, suited to a vast
variety of individual tastes. To Her
rick in his day-dreams it had always
taken the form of travel without care.
All paths lie open for a man who has
SAC, 900, and there is no reason why
care should sit behind him as he rides.
Herrick had only the most shadowy
thought for the person who had lost
this money. He did not even speculate
upon the n of it's loss.
He disposed the notes in his pockets
in the best interests of comfort and
safety. Then he folded up the brown
paper and pocketed that also, with a
dim consciousness that. If it were left
in the cab, it might get the driver into
trouble. The fellow was honest, no
doubt, and Herrick did not wish that
he should suffer a wrong. He pre-
ferred to keep the wrapper himself,
and take the risk of it until he could
find some means of disposing OF it thai
would be safer than throwing it out OF
the cab window.
The cab stopped suddenly, its path
being blocked by a tangle of vehicles
Herrick softly put his hand upon the
catch of the door. 1t yielded noise
lessly; the door swung open.

DO FISHES HAVE A MEMoRY7
PIscine Psychological Researches of q
German Professor.

German Professor.
Prof. Ludwig Edinger of Frankfort
on-the-Main is collecting information
on this point and writes to us as fol-
lows: Have fish a memory? A re-
quest for information. There is a gen.
eral opinion that fish have some sort
Of memory; that they can recognize
people, know how to find or avoid
places where they have made formerly
some experiences, that fish which have
once escaped the rod know the bait,
etc. 1t is highly desirable that all ex-
perience of this kind should be col
lected in the interest of comparative
psychology. The reason is that till
now we believd the function of mem
DRY to depend on the action of the
brain cortex. All experience in mar
and in the higher animals has led to
that conclusion. During the last years
it has been proved that fish have no
brain cOrtex at all. They are the only
existing vertebrates without a brain
corteX. Now if we could prove beyond
the possibility of doubt that fish really
have a memory, that they gain expert
ence and can make use of it, then we
shall have to give up till now gener-
al opinion that memory has its sea- in
the brain corteX. Therefore it is eX-
tremely important to have an entirely
new set of experiences" Prof. Edin-
ger then asks all anglers and natural
lists to communicate to him any ex-
periences they may have had, request
ing them particularly to AXE nothing
for granted, as the smallest observa-
ton may prove of the greatest import
ance. Here, then, is a splendid chance
for anglers to tell their pet tales and to
throw light On this interesting ques-
ton. Many incidents which common
ly occur to anglers would decidedly go
against the theory that fish have mem
cries. Thus, a fish which has had a Iy
broken in his mouth will often i'm
mediately take another, and on being
captured the broken one may be found
still sticking in his mouth, and then
it is well known to fishermen that a
pike which escapes while it is being
played will often again ferociously
seize the bait if it be at once tempt
ingly offered him. Such well-known
facts as these do not at first sight point
to any highly developed powers of rea-
soning in the fish, but before drawing
any conclusions from them, another
factor-that of sensibility-must also
be taken into consideration. 1t is high
ly probable that a fish hooked with a
small flyhook in the gristly part of
the jaw feels little or no pain. and
therefore if the hook Immediately
breaks the fish possibly looks upon
it as a very slight inconvenience which
in nowise need hinder him from con-
tinuing his meal. A fish's brain is a
very small mass compared with the
weight of the body, and is also small
in comparison to the spinal cord. We
have no doubt that Prof. Edinger will
receive many interesting communica-
tions from people who are in the habit
of studying the habits of fish carefully
and it is to be hoped hat some relia-
BILE conclusions will be drawn from
them.

Every now and then the medical
journals of this and other countries
break out in furious diatribes on the
use of patent medicines. They claim
thai these remedies do untold harm,
and hat patients are deluded into
taking all sorts of stuff simply on the
idea that they have a certain disease,
and that the nostrum is recommended
in the circulars as a positive cure for
such and such ills. 1t is an unques-
tionable fact that a certain amount OF
benefit is derived from these remedies,
and cases are exceedingly rare in
which it can be shown that any actual
harm is done. The opinion of the ply
stefan that evil may result is not at all
a conclusive argument. The special
point in this matter is that patent
medicines, so-called, cut into the prac-
tice of doctors, and, naturally enough
| hey object to it. A great deal of hard
work has been done to legislate patent
medicines out of existence, but as Ions
as the public demands this sort of thins
it is going to have it. There is 10 law
so in1exible in it's workings as that OF
demand and supply.

WINTER

A little sugar added to turnips, beets
and winter squash will be an improve
ment.
The proportion of salt in cooking
vegetables is a t~easpoonful to everygal-
Ion of water.
Turnips. carrots and onions should
never be split, but sliced in rings cut
across the fiber.
Onions should be soaked in warm
salt water to remove their strong
flavor before cooking.
Old potatoes are improved by peel
ing and soaking in water for a few
hours before cooking.
In buying turnips remember that
small white ones contain more nutri-
ment than the large yellow ones.
When vegetables require stirring it
should be done with a wooden spoon,
and this should also be used for taking
them up.
All vegetables should be thoroughly
cooked and it is important to remem-
Der that late ones require a longer time
than early ones.
Vegetables hat are stored in the cell
lar will often need Sorting" and all
willing or ~decaying ones should be i'm
mediately removed.
A piece of red pepper the size of a pea
dropped in with the vegetables when
first beginning to cook will greatly aid
in killing the odor, and this should be
remembered in cooking cabbage.
Carrots, turnips, p~arsnips, beets,
cabbage and onions are improved by
being boiled with fresh meats, but il
they are to be served with salt meat
the meat should first be cooked and
then removed, and the vegetables
cooked in the liquor.

The BIudeeons of ConstantinopIe.

These men of Constantinople were
not armed in the common sense of the
word. Some of them had revolvers, and
the most of them had knives. But they
seldom used either; for awkward ques-
lions might be raised if the police were
called to account for failing to arrest
armed civilians on the streets. Carry
ing ax-helves, pick-ax handles, heavy
clubs like baseball bats, jagged frag-
ments of broken scantling; carrying
ANYTHING that can crush the skull of
man, this horrible rabble flooded the
streets of all Christian quarters of the
city, like an all-desolating tidal wave,
silent but irresistible. Their silence by
day was almost as terrible as their
bowls by night. They would be seen
going along the street, when they
would meet an Armenian who had ven-
tured to attempt to reach his home.
Without a word they would break in
his skull and go on their way entirely
unmoved, and hardly having spoken a
loud word. If resistance was offered
they had only to say, THE Giaours re-
sist." and a horde of their fellows
would come running from all direc-
tions to destroy one who had proved
his seditious quality by daring to re-
| sist a Observation-Disclosures.

thick. The gauge is &c inches. The
grade, as before stated, in its steopest
part is $40 feet to the mile. The whole
cost OF constructing the railway was
at the rate of $500 per mile. The exig-
encies of Tyler's railroad building did
not compel any bridge building enter
prise, and there were no intervening
valleys between the termini of the road
that could not be rounded at their
heads, and the only structure necessary
were a few low tunnels.
