ed, is fraught with great danger. Even if
she escapes with her life, it is only to live
martyr to untold agony. This is needless.
Thousands of women have found sure,
and certain remedy and have spoken in no
uncertain words of it's almost miraculous
action.
This remedy is Dr.. Pierce's Favorite Pre-
scription It acts directly upon the organs
that make wifehood and motherhood pos
sib1e. 1t gives them health and ?igor. It
stops weakening drains, allays inflammation
and soothes pain. The nerves, no longer
tortured, resume their natural function of
directing the healthy action of all the organs
of the body. Under its benign influence the
weak, sick1y, nervous, fretful invalid, be
comes robust capable, helpful amiab1e
wife, fitted for the duties of motherhood.
All good druggists sell it.
"Three years ago. writes Mrs. J. N. Mess1er,
of 1894 Vanderbilt Avenue, New York, N. Y, " I
was given up by some of the best physicians in
this city They said there cure for me
unless would go to hospital and have an OPP
room for the pain in my side. thought would
die. I took DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription
and after had taken three bottles could work,
walk, and ride. I could write year and not
praise your medicine enough"

ing for himself, upon his own land
will greatly increase the aggregate
wealth of the State: 1. In the in
creased products. 2. In the superior
quality of the product. 8. In the in
creased fertility and improvement OF
the land.
Ownership makes men more indus
trious, thrifty, independent and patri-
otic The character of the laborer is
improved. Poor sterile hAllsides are
reclaimed, gullies are stopped, and a
thriftless laborer becomes proud and
Industrious proprietor. When the
mass of the people own the land they
till the motives to productive industry
are brought to bear most universally
A strong stimulus is brought to get as
much as possible from the land and at
the same time improve it. Mr.. Perry,
in his Elements of Political Economy
thinks the division of the land in
France a positive benefit in supplying
a regular increase of agricultural
products; in creating an industrious,
frugal, cheerful peasantry; in the pro
motion of a desire and ability to pur-
chase land; in diminishing pauperism
and consequently crime. The division
of land should only reach the point
where it begins to be less profitable.
He compares the conditions of the la
boring classes of England with those
of France. The want of patriotism in
the former is constantly manifested
by their loud complaints against the
government. Having no interest in
the soil, they feel no interest in the
government.
Through all the gloom and despon-
dency Of the past, the vexed question
of labor has been working to this So
luton. We may well look forward
with bright antici pat ions to the fut
ure The ice thaw has begun. Life
motion and activity are spring'ing up
and under all, the river of prosperity
may be seen cleaning out bright with
new hopes and splendid triumphs I'M
migra ton to the South is working
out the great problem Of labor, thrift
and prosperity, and as a consequence,
contentment.
Numerous instances all over the
South show Enthusiastically how vast
the improvement becomes when farm
ers work their own farms. If one will
compare the conditions of the cotton
plantations where the share system is
practiced, the landowners only Civ
ing the attention necessary to secure
his share and exercising but little con-
troll over the labors, with those COM
munities where each man works his
own farm, the comparison will be in
teresting, striking, profitable and con-
vincing.
AS an illustration of this truth it
may be mentioned that in the State of
Tennessee, in Franklin county, many
years ago a number of German Swiss
people bought a large quantity of
lands that had been run down by i'm
provident and careless cultivation
These lands, originally fertile, had
reached such an exhausted condition
by the cultivation of cotton year after

NlaEara's Power VIII Make Gems.

A Washington scientist, DR.. B. H.
tombstone, will build a laboratory at
Niagara Falls and use the current for
crystallizing pure carbon into diamonds
of great size. While it has been pos
sible for some years to make diamonds
by using carbon, those made have been
too small to be OF any commercial
value. Yet 1t is now asserted by the
scientist of Washington that he has
devised plan by which the precious
stone can be made of any size wished.
Dr.. tombstone proposes to turn out
stones which will vie in purity and
beauty with those of the fields of South
Africa and which will compare with
the famous gems which glow in the
crowns of emperors. He will require at
least six thousands volts of electricity
to crystalline the carbon, and that Is a
power not easily obtained anywhers
except at Niagara. The pure carbon
he finds in the coal and other MINIS
about the country, for it exists in large
quantities and can be purchased cheap
ly. With this carbon and this i'm
mense power of electricity at his hand
DR.. tombstone states that he can so
crystalline the first that he can turn
out within a few days stone that
nature could not fashion in millions of
years. The diamonds which Will come
from this laboratory will be of great
size, for the doctor expects to make
them from the size of a pea to that OF
the great Kohinoor, the most famous
gem in the world.
