 ways look after the health and vigor of the organs distinctly feminine, the pitiful Sabbath day procession of motherless children that goes to the cemetery to "put flowers on na-rna's grave l" would be ma terially reduced in numbers. Too many women bring child into the world at the sacrifice of their own life. This sad trag- edy may be avoided by any women who will resort to the right remedy.
 The usual dangers of maternity are ban ished by the use of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. It acts directly and only on tho important and delicate organs that bear the burdens of motherhood. It makes them healthy and strong, vigorous and elastic. It does away with the dis comforts of the expectant period, insures the health of the newcomer, and makes its advent free from danger and almost free from pain. Over 9o,eoo have testi- fled to its virtues. Druggists who offer substitutes are untrustworthy.

enry 6eCrge'S Clnger.
 Henry George is supplying the greater part of the ginger" that Is being infused into the muni- cipal campaign. His allegations looking to the integrity of the recognized chiefs of both the leading parties are excit- ing wide interest, though thay are met by those most directly concerned With showing of indifference that does credit to their capacity for going unrufiied through political game of football The most specific of MT. Georges ale cations are that Roger A. Pryor paid Richard Croker s15,0OO for the judge ship he now holds; that $22,00O was paid for a seat upon the bench for Judge h. graham and that other judicial offices were made the object of barter by the so-called political bosses. Judge Pryor has made categorical denial that he paid or caused to be paid, directly or indirectly any sum whatsoever for the nomination, and a like denial has been made by others of the judges involved in Georges allegations.
 They Come Hgh.
 That judgeships "come high" is, how ever, a fact well known and freely ,ad- mitted The sworn statement of cleo tion expenses on file in the county clerks office show that since the law re- quiring itemized statements of such ex- penses went into effect the following sums have been so paid:
 By Judge McAdam, $15,0O0; by Judge Pryor, $10,50o; by Judge Ingraham, ST. 900; by Judge Newberger. $6,1S5; by Judge Ehrlich, se,45O; by Judge Smithe, s5,OOO. and by other judges sums below the amount last given down to $21o. These sums it should be made clear are for so called legitimate election ex- penses.
 Charges of BIackmaiI.
 George alleges that in addition to the sums admitted to be paid as above the judges have been blackmailed out of other and in some instances larger sums. It Is for this alleged extoTtion of black mail and other kindred offenses which he asserts have been perpetrated that George threatens Croker and Platt with the penitentiary. Possibly because of the latitude of speech permitted in a political campaign there has been no move to proceed against George for libel. } Van Wyck in Easy Street

She Drives An Ostrich.

Mrs. John Elitch, of Denver, Colo.
RADIO, drives strange steed. Hel
horse is not horse, but an ostrich,
behind which she rides in a light
wagon. Mrs. Glitch is the only wo-
man in the world who owns zoologi-
cal garden and manages 1t herself.
Through it she is known all over the
Pacific coast.
whenever t want change from
driving horses I have an ostrich, she
says, "the only pacing bird owned by
a woman: I drive it for amusement;
never for tia public. It hauls d light
wagon, and I've just got d new one,
with pneumatic tires: Ostriches don't t
drive like horses. 1t is all very well
if he doesn't catch sight of d banana
peel, "a stray orange-skin; or some
thing equally attractive. If he does
he'll stop in his fastest gait and dive
sideways for the tidbit. He isn't
guided by The reins, but by long
whip, with which 1 hit him on the
side. 1t takes hard blow, too, to han
die him. If / should pull on the reins
it would break his neck. I raised
him from baby. He hates reins, but
once harnessed is very tractable. 1t
looks odd to see him in such rig.
His legs, OF course, are immensely
strong. He seems never to get tired,
and goes like the wind"

why the Sky is Blue.

Did it ever strike you to inquire why
the cloudless depths of sky above us
are so delicately blue? 1t isn't that
the gas we call air is in itself blue.
As far as we know, it is quite trans.
parent and absolutely colorless. Mo-
the blue comes from reflected light.
Air is never pure. You couldn't live
in it if it was. Countless millions Of
tiny particles, chiefly of water, are
always suspended in it, and these ar
rest the free passage of light. Each
particle has double refection-one
internal, the other external-and SO
the reflected rays suffer the usual re-
suit of what is called interference, "
and show color. You will notice that
the sky appears much bluer if you
look straight UP than if you look across
toward the horizon. The reason is
that, in the first instance, you are
naturally looking through a much
thinner layer Of air than in the second.
If there were no air, and conse-
quently no watery vapor and nothing
to interfere with the free passage of
light, even at midday the sky above
would look perfectly black, and all the
stars palmer than ut present they do
at midnight.-Answers.

-IiKfs rusSs..rsts, Hit;,

A great miiitary authority says that
when well-built man of six feet Is
facing the enemy he presents surface
to be shot at of one thousand square
inches.
His face has an area of ffty-six
inches, and his neck of twenty-three
inches, and out Of every hundred men
wounded in battle fourteen will be
wounded in those parts. They are the
most exposed parts of the body,
whether the combatant be in trench
or behind tree or wall.
The trunk offers nearly four times as
large target, but It is usually protect,
I'd by some form of defense work, and
is, therefore, hit only nineteen times
ii d hundred:
AS Scraps says, it seems extraordi-
nary that the arms have as great an
area almost as the body. That is to
say, what the anatomist calls arms;
which include the shoulders: They
measure two hundred and twenty-six
inches, and receive thirty out of the
hundred hits. The reason they are
oftener hit than the body is that they
have to be exposed so much in firing.
The legs, including the hips, have
The largest surface of all, measuring
four hundred and twenty-five square
inches, or nearly twice as much as the
nrms. But they are nearly always pro-
tected by breastworks, rising ground,
trunks of trees, etc., and so they are
wounded only thirty-five times out OF
the hundred
When fighting at close quarters the
head and body suffer very severely,
and when fighting from behind trees
The arms, having to be put forward to
fire, receive an unusual number OF
wounds.
A curious fact, which every veteran
knows to his cost, is that when the
ground is hard bullets are reflected
upward and wound the legs and lower
parts of the body, while, if the ground
were soft, the bullets would bury
themselves in it.

About Perfumes.

The perfumes which are most agree:
able to the senses are not always the
most helpful to the nerves. Amber
girls, for instance, is positively ofen-
sive to many, yet is said to possess
wonderful power Of clearing the
brain and driving away those evil
spirits known as the ''blues." On the
other hand, altar Of roses. with its
suggestion Of glowing suns and gor-
geous eastern colors, predisposes one
to tears. A faint odor of musk acts
as a tonic, while civet brings drowsi-
ness Of soul, for which the best anti
dote, is the pungent odor Of sandal
wood. The fragrance of citron and
aloe wood is as soothing to nervous
people as far-of music.
Many perfumes delightful in the
open air become particularly disagree
able in close room. A whole even
ing can be spoiled by the presence of
tuberoses or lilies in areception room.
Their strong fragrance has very bad
effect. Magnolia blossoms, too, have
q delightful perfume in their native
grove, but woe to her who sleeps
through the night with o single bios.
som on her pillow. There are many
fragrant. flowers, such as carnation,
Glove pink, sweetbriar and apple bios;
som, that are as beneficial as they are
sweet scented.
A vivid perfume is nearly always
bracing, while subtle one is gener;
ally enervating. One may become
positively intoxicated through inhal;
iug the odor Of the peach, almond, wild
cherry and other blossoms of the same
class. because they all contain a sug-
gestion of prussic acid.-New York

Silver Coin Being counterfsited.

The discovery has been made by the
secret service division of the Treas
ury Department that the silver trae-
tional coins are being counterfelted,
and it is feared to very large extent.
The low price of silver bullion pre-
ser,ts O new field for enterprise and
one in which the liability to detection
il reduced to the minimum. Instead
Of using base metal and washing 1t
with a solution of silver the work is
done with silver bullion bearing the
marks of The government assay Office,
and the spurious coins that have come
into the possession Of the treasury Of
Gals are found to be few grains
heavier ard triae finer than the coins
issued from the mints. Most OF the
spurious coins discovered bear the
mark Of the San Francisco mint. In
trinsically the coins issued by the en-
terprising counterfeiters are as good
in every respect as those issued by the
government, and when detected and
refused acceptance, the holder
will only lose the difference between
the bullion and coinage value of the
genuine coins. This is consoling
reflection to the public, who sre liable
to have as many of the spurious as the
genuine coins in their possession, and
as the difference between them can be
detected cnly by weighing and assay
ing the liability to loss is very tritiing.
With silver selling at 55 cents per
ounce it is not surprising that the gov.
ernment should find competition In
the business Of emitting coins that
bring the manufacturer clear profit
of 100 per cent.

Fattening Calves without MIX.

Cheap as milk has lately been, it is
yet regarded as too valuable to be fed
to calves after their first few days of
life as an exclusive article of diet. We
think it is economy to feed some milk
to calves. But it is best for them,
whether they are to be fattehed or
raised to maturity, to early aceustom
them to variety of food. A thin por-
ridge made Of wheat middlings, with a
teaspconful of linseed oil added as it
is cooking, and having enough milk
to color it white, makes ration on
which the calves will thrive nearly, or
quite as we'll as on new milk, and bet
ter taan on milk that has had its
cream removed. This should always
be given at the warmth of new milk.
If given cold at any time it will cause
scours. Whenever any diarrhea oc-
ours boil tablespoonful of fine wheat
-four in water and feed that for one
ration. The diarrhea will stop, and
by the time for the next feeding the
calf will be all right for its feed. It
pays to feed thrifty calf in this way
until it is three, four or even six
months old. There are times when
well-fattened calves are in demand.
The butchers always rely on the far
mer's anxiety to sell a calf If he is
feeding it milk. But fed in this way
with some clover hay as it grows old
enough to eat It calf may Be kept
with profit until Il is year old or
even elder than that.-Boston ehlti-
vator.

Horse Meat in Belgium.

AS in consequence of the cable car,
the bicycle, and the electric cab, the
horse is no longer necessary as means
of locomotion, the inhabitants of Bel
GUM are importing this domestic ami
NAL as an article of food. Over 10, 900
horses were imported during the year
for conversion into meat. The num-
Der being very largely in excess of the
import of sheep and oxen. Statistics
show that in the city of Antwerp alone
1000 horses were slaughtered last year
for human consumption, and the butch
ers' shops dealing exclusively in horse
flesh in the Belgium port already num-
ber thirty-two.
