good deal of it is exported to the neigh
boring republics. All the rice raised in
Salvador is of the upland variety. grown
on the dry table-land and hillsides. A
new industry, which may in time eclipse
all others, has been inaugurated under
government auspices within the last two
or three years. 1t is that of stock rails
ing, by the Introduction of improved
breeds. An extensive model farm and
agricultural educational establishment
has been started in the suburbs of San
Salvador, stocked with select breeds of
cattle, horses, hogs and fowls, from the
United States. The government has also
offered prize of $50 for the best breed
OF cattle and horses introduced into the
country, with the object of improving
the native breeds. Here is a promising
future for some enterprisng individuals,
presumably foreigners. Land is cheap
outside the cities, and the fertile noun
tain slopes and foothills furnish wide
ranges and the best of pastures. 1t seems
to me, at the first view, that one might
be contented to end his DAYS in Sonsonate
that is, with the loved ones to keep him
company, SO delightful is the climate and
SO peacefully beautiful the views In the
rear OF the town is continuous range of
volcanoes, eleven in all, set close together
like the teeth of a saw, the craters of
seven distinctly visible; that at the south
ern end being the celebrated Izalco. The
city, on the right bank of the Rio
Senhunapan, is only about so miles west
of San Salvador. 1t contains IL 900 in
habitants; its streets are wide. rectilinear,
and well paved, it has handsome casa
municipal, a hospital, several churches,
we'll built houses and delightful suburbs.
There is commodious railway station,
American cabs in the streets, shops ap-
parently we'll stocked, a clubhouse a
theatre, and beautiful plaza where one
of the best military bands in the world
discourses to the populace on moonlight
evenings. There seems to be considerable
commerce here, both export and import,
and rather extensive establishments for
the making of sugar, cigars, cotton cloth,
pottery, mats and baskets; besides several
distilleries and salt works.

The Highway.

The highway lies, all bare and brown,
A naked line across the down,
Worn by hundred hurrying feet.
The tide of Life along it flows,
And busy Commerce comes and goes.
Where once the grass grew green and
sweet,
The Worlds fierce pulses beat
Well for the highway that it lies
The passageway of great emprise
Yet from its dust what voices cry
Voices of soft green growing things,
Irampled and torn fro1n earth which clings
Too closely, unperceiving why
Its darling BARNS must die!
My hearts a highway, trodden down
By many traveller of reuown-
Grave Thought, and burden bearing Deeds,
And strong Achievements envoy fares,
With laughing joys and crowding Cares,
Along the road that woodward leads
Once rank with foolish weeds.
Glad is my heart to hear them pass;
Yet sometimes breathes low Alas
The tender springing things that grew
The nursing hopes their feet destroyed,
Sweet ignorant dreams that youth enjoyed
And blossomed there the long year
through
Would 1 could have them tool

zine.

little idea of the duties of matrimony and
maternity. They approach motherhood
with considerable fear. They have learned
in vague way that the baby's coming means
pain and danger Few of them have been
told that these things are of the past. Pain
and danger are no longer necessary. BY the
regular use of DR.. Pierce's Favorlte Prescr1p-
ton during the expectant period safety,
comfort and health are assured for both
mother and child.
DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is for
the cure of all diseases distinctly feminine,
and for the inauguration of already healthy
organs in time of unusual strain. 1t pro-
notes regularity and relieves periodical
pains and discomforts. 1t has saved the
lives of thousands of women, as their own
testimony proves. Taken from among thou
sands like it is this letter which tells what
one woman has experienced
w. R. Malcolm Esq, of Knobel, Clay Co, Ark,
writes: 1--WE believe in the merits of DR.. Pierce's
family medicines. My wife was troubled with
female weakness and two bottles OF DR.. Pierces
Favorite Prescription, together with the Golden
Medical Discovery cured her. During the pc
Discovery and for perhaps four months pre-
vious to the birth of our child she also took the
Favorte Prescription These medicines it
seemed strengthened her entire system, and
childbirth to her was very easy-be1ng attended
with very little pain. Our baby Ruth is Is months
old and she has never been sick day, not
much as had the collie she is hearty and stout
and pretty as a picture-pretty because she is
healthy and we very much blame Dr.. Plerces FAM
lily medicines for it. We keep DR.. Pierce's Golden
and the Pellets in our home and use them. We
have been married most three years and have
called physician into my family but one time
single trip, at birth of our baby"
