The Poor Children of Cities
Their lives May be Made Much Sweet
or bya Summer Outing.

In the June LADIES' Home Jour-
nal Edward w. Box makes an
earnest appeal that the poor child
ren of The cities be iven an outing
in the country during part of the
heated summer season. He heart
lily cOmmends the work in that di-
rection being done by the various
organizations, and urges that they
be given heartier support and
greater cooperation. "Strange as
it may seem to some," he says,
"the word country is only mean,
ingless sound to countless waits in
our cities. OF winding stream,
of a running brook, of hill higher
than pile re refuse in the street.
they know nothing. The only wat
er they know is that which flows
past the city piers. OF run in
field white with daisies, yellow
with buttercups, or red with clover,
they have never even dreamed.
Their only playground is a hot and
ill-smelling pavement. Even
clean bed is unknown to them: the
fire-escape, the roof or an uncover
ed wagon are their sleeping. places
on the hot summer nights. The on
ly glimpse Of Gods beautiful sky
they even see is through the city's
smoke. And yet how many of us
think of these little ones? Think
of them we may, perhaps, but what
do we do for them? Do we ever
stop and consider how much we
might do? how much others are
doing?
"Ten cents will keep a sick baby
for a whole day in the country or
at the seashore under the direction
of some one of these associations
One dollar will bring untold happi-
ness to a child for five days. Three
dollars will keep child in the
country for thirteen days. Why
not look into the work of the fund
or association Of summer work for
children nearest you, and, before
you take your own children to the
country, leave or send something,
even though it be but ten cents, to
one or more of these Fresh Air
Funds? 1t will bring health and
happiness to some little child whose
mother cannot afford to do what
God has made possible for you to
do for your little ones. 1t is not so
much that many of us are disinclin-
ed to be charitable: 1t is rather
that we are not apt to take the
trouble to find out, or to know how
much we can do with very little.
We would give if we but knew
where and how to give. The mob.
lest offering we can make to God is
the saving OF the life of one of His
little ones"

FOUND ON A WEED.
Rich Find of Little Girl in New
Jersey Field.


Jersey Field.
After having given up all thought of
ever finding a valuable diamond ring
which he lost in singular way four
years ago, Robert Croft, chief clerk
in the Pennsylvania railroad office in
this city, living at Berlin, N. j., recov-
cred the jewel the other day, says the
Philadelphia Times.
Mr.. Croft was swinging Indian clubs
on the lawn at his farmhouse on one No
vember evening in 1892, when the ring
slipped from his finger and.was lost in
the grass. Despite the careful search
made by Mr.. Croft and two farmhands
the ring did not come to light. The
hext day the plat of grass was carefully
raked off and after being carefully ex-
amined the grass and dirt were depos-
tied on a compost heap in the barnyard.
During the winter portion OF the COM
post was transferred to the farm of Mr..
Peacock, two miles away.
While playing on the Peacock farm re-
Gently a daughter of Farmer Morgan
noticed bright sparkle on rank weed
stalk about two feet from the ground.
Upon making closer examination of
the weed she found it encircled by gold
ring in which was set the sparkle that
dazzled her eyes. She realized that the
ring was valuable, and breaking the
weed off ran into the farmhouse with it.
Everybody in the neighborhood had
heard of Mr.. Croft losing his ring four
years ago and owing to its value the in
cident was remembered by the neigh
bors.
The little girls parents recalled the
loss and upon Mr.. Groff's return home
from his office in the evening he was
overjoyed at finding the long-lost dia-
mond again safe.

Paper UndercIothing.

Paper undertaking is much used in
Japan. The garments are cut out OF
large sheets of finely-erisped japanese
paper, the pieces sewed together and
the buttonholes strengthened with cal
ico or linen. The fabric is strong even
when wet, flexible and extremely light.
A fact to be considered is that every
Jap takes hot bath at least once day.
His paper clothes are so cheap that
new ones can be afforded frequently.

woman's work is hard in many ways
Unless the woman is strong and healthy her
work will cause her much distress and pain,
and she will suffer from headaches, and
backaches and side-aches, and each evening
will find her utterly worn-out, sick and dis
gusted with life. In this condition of mind
and body she cannot be a loving and ami
able companion for her husband when he
returns from his work weary too in body
and mind
If woman wants to live a happy, con-
tented, loving, helpful married life she can
not take too much care of the health and
vigor of the organs distinctly feminine, for
her general health and strength is largely
dependent upon her special health in a wo-
manlyway. DR.. Pierces Favorite Prescrip-
ton enables a woman to be always well and
strong where a woman most needs health
and strength. 1t acts directly on the i'm
portant and delicate organs involved in her
wifehood and motherhood. 1t makes them
strong and healthy. Taken during the Pc
Rod preceding motherhood it banishes the
usual discomforts and makes baby's coming
easy and comparatively painless 1t insures
the new comer's health and provides an
ample supply of natural nourishment. It
cures all weakness and disease, and head
aches, backa hes, and side-aches no longer
torture her in her work. Over 10000 wo-
men have testified to the wonderful viz
tues of the 'Favorite Prescription over
their signatures. An honest druggist will
not try to force on you a substitute for the
sake of a few pennies added profit.

HUMAN HAIR VALUABLE.
A French Firm Sold a Ton of 1t for
100000,


$4,000.
The demand for human hair is now
so great that "artists in human hair"
have more than they can do to meet
the requirements of their customers,
whichare every day increasing. France,
the leader of all female fashions, is of
course responsible for this, and natural
ly the country where the greatest trade
is done in this article, says the Golden
Penny. India and China, it appears,
supply a large quantity of black hair,
but it also appears that France herself,
and even England, provide large guam
tity, too. Some of the peasant women
in France are often induced to part with
their long hair for few shillings, which
when sold in Paris will often realize as
much as SIS. In converts, where the
hair is always shorn, a good trade is
done, and it is said that not long ago
enc of these large establishments sold
quently the hair is cut from corpses, but
dead hair" as it is called, is of less
value than ':living hair" Curiously
enough, an important part of the bust
ness of collecting hair is done in the
streets of Paris. where the rag gather
ers are said to collect every day an av-
erage of 100 pounds of human hair. 1t
appears from some statistics recently
published that white and red hair are
rarest in France. while brown hair

plished the feat on the east steps.
Shields waited until the steps and ap.
proaches were entirely clear of visitors,
and then placing his bicycle at the brink
of the steep incline, swung easily into
the saddle and began the perilous de-
scent. Before reaching the bottom Of
the uppermost fight he lost his pedals,
and making no attempt to regain them,
sat rigidly upright in the saddle, his
feet hanging clear of the rapidly re-
volving cranks, holding to the handle
barsiwith a vise-like grip, and his eyes
fastened fixedly on the path at the bot
tom. 1t only lasted for about Is seconds.
but the intensity of the strain increased
much more rapidly than the seconds
passed. Gathering momentum with
every foot of the downward passage, the
rider seemed to be going, as if shot out
of the mouth of cannon. When he
reached the third and last landing, the
velocity Of his descent had reached such
point that he literally leaped over the
final flight of 16 steps to the bottom. His
wheel did not touch single one Of the
steps, but took an onward and down.

shuddered, the momentum attained be-
ing so great as to pitch the rider over the
last flight. He left the saddle, but at
the bottom wheel and rider fell in a
heap. Shields escaped, however, with
out serious bruise. The wheel which
he was riding did not loosen bolt or
yield at any point under the strain to
which it was put, and aside from a
twisted handle bar, received at the fall
at the bottom, came out of the ordeal
without scratch.

THE CLIMAX FAILED.
Because the Cannon Had Not Been
Loaded the Point Was Lost.

Loaded the Point Was Lost.
The fort was surrounded. Thousands
of savage Indians had hemmed in the
gallant little band and cut off every
avenue of escape. The brave command
er was on his knees, with revolver in
each hand, firing right and left, and
between shots he breathed prayer for
help, says the Detroit Free Press. The
few of his noble soldiers, who preferred
death to capture and torture by the
hideous savages, knelt by his side and
fought like demons.
The Indian warriors were preparing
for last desperate charge on the brave
band who dared to oppose them. There
was but enc charge of powder left in the
old cannon in the fort, and the grim
piece was aimed by one of the blue
coated veterans for last deadly, blow
There was a lull in the battle and
all prepared to die, when suddenly on
the clear, frosty air came the sound of
a faint cheer, as of approaching rein
forcements. The little band in the fort
heard it; the Indians, too, heard it, for
they came pell-mell at the fort in a
last furious charge.
"Tom," said the commander (and
there were tears in his eyes as he spoke)
"give 'em our last dose of canister!"
The hardy veteran touched the match
to the fuse and it burned slowly Down,
but the gun did not go off. The proper

William Shields, of Woonsoclet, r. l.,
rode down the steps of the west front of
the capitol the other afternoon on a BIZ
cycle, and lives to-day to tell the tale.
Perhaps it would be more exact to say
that he dropped slantwise from the top
of the terrace to the ground below while
astride of wheel. There is no question
that he accomplished the feat, for he
was photographed during his rapid de-
scent, and the incontrovertible product
of the camera is on exhibition to con-
vince the skeptics.
