There are too many unhappy-too many un-
healthy women in the world. At every
gathering where women meet alone, the
and dependency.
The woman who suffers in this way makes
a mistake to consult the average obscure
physician. If she does so, the chances are
that she is told that her trouble is nervous
ness or insomnia or indigestion or heart
trouble. 1t does not happen very often that
this diagnosis is correct. When by some
fortunate chance she is told the truth. that
she is suffering from weakness and disease
of the distinctly feminine organism, she IS
told at the same time that she must submit
to the obnoxious exafuinations and local
treatment so embarrassing to a sensitive
woman All this is unnecessary.
The wise woman will seek the advice of
some specialist of world wide reputation.
Dr. r. V. Pierce is such a man. For thirty
years he has been chief consulting physi-
clan to the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical
Institute, at Buffalo, n. Y. During that
time, with the assistance of staff of emf
nent physicians, he has treated thousands
of ailing women. He is the inventor of
that wonderful medicine for women known
as DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. This
medicine acts directly on the delicate and
important organs that make maternity pos
sible. 1t cures all weakness, disease, in
ternal liberation and Inflammation and de-
biltating drains. 1t has transformed thou
sands of weak suffering women into
healthy, happy, robust wives. 1t is for sale
by all good medicine dealers.

YOSEMITE VALLEY.
Plan to Abolish the Toll Roads Lead
ing 10 the Park.

Plan to Abolish the Toll Roads Lead
ing 10 the Park.
At recent meeting of the Yosemite
commission in San Francisco the abo-
lition of the toll roads leading to the
valley, so that free access may be
obtained, was brought up by
State Vice President Kinney. All
four roads, he said, were pri-
vate property, which should be
appraised and purchased by the gov
eminent. To this end letter had been
prepared directed to the secretary of
the interior, the governor and the Cali
fornia representation in both houses
of congress. The communication re-
ceived the approval of the commission,
and was directed to be mailed to all
concerned. 1t starts out by calling at
teNtion to the hardship caused by all
visitors to the Yosemite valley and the
National park by reason of the roads
leading to and within the National
park being all private toll roads. But
while the state of California had eX-
Itinguished the private tolls within the
Yosemite grant, all access to the val
ley is over and across the Yosemite
National park, which is under federal
Jurisdiction. There are four toll roads
in this park. Of this the Big Oak fat
road is 80 miles long, 20 miles of which
are in the National park. It's esti-
mated cost is $1,000, and the toll
charged is two cents. The length Of
the Toga road is given at Sc miles, OF
which As miles are in federal iurisdic'
ton. Its cost is estimated at $4,000.
: "The policy of the national govern
nent," continues the letter, "has been
repeatedly declared in reports OF
various secretaries of the interior to
the senate and house, and in bill
passed by the senate of the United
States May IS, 1896, to be that these
roads shall be made free public high
ways in and to the National park, just
as California has purchased and made
free roads in the Yosemite state grant,
The federal government has set apart
q number of national parks, to all Of
which, excepting the Yosemite National
park, it has given due and proper con-
sideration. For two of these parks,
to wit, the National Yellowstone park
and the Chattanooga National Military
park, sums aggregating $1,OOO,oOO il
each case have been appropriated,
largely due to facilitate access to them
The Yosemite National park has great
beauties and attractions, yet it has been
neglected and no access can be had to
it except over private roads and by
the payment of toll.
''The commission urges immediate
action, and believes it should be taken
at the next session of congress. To
secure this, an impartial body of men
should estimate upon and fix the value
Of the roads named, and the owners
should consent in writing to sell the
roads for their appraised value. st

Cucumber Pickles.

Wash and wipe carefully the small
cucumbers. Put them in an earthen
jar and pour over them boiling brine
that is strong enough to bear up an
egg. Let them stand "a hours, then
wipe them from the brine and place
them in clean jars. Boil together in a
porcelain kettle enough vinegar to
cover the pickles, with one sliced onion,
one dozen whole cloves, one ounce mus
tard seed and three blades of mace.
When this boils pour over the cucum-
bers, place in each jar tablespoonful
of chopped horseradish and stand aside
to cool before covering up the jars.
These pickles will be ready to use in
two weeks, and will keep year.-To-

The Kings White Feather.

The Gazette of Moscow says that
while the king of Siam was passing
through the streets of that city white
feather fell from the plume of his he'll
met and was picked up by the peasant
Toulzianow, who is in The service of NJ.
Koch. Touldanow FASTENED to restore
the feather to the chief of police. He
was greatly surprised several days
later upon receiving from this official,
in the name of his Siamese majesty, a
casket containing portrait of the king
and a massive gold chain decorated
with token of the same metal bearing
the arms of Siam in enamel. Toulia-
now has not yet recovered from this
unexpected piece of good fortune.
