 T did, almost entirely, but I relied some on the coroner's Inquest report"

 During the course of the succeeding questions in the examination MT. Will Hams asked the doctor if dipsomania or sometimes insanity were caused by drink.

of this ever-recurring tragedy No woman should enter the marriage state without some knowledge of the physiology of the female organs of reproduction, and of the necessity of keeping them always healthy and vigorous. Ignorance on these points digs graves for thousands of happy brides but few months journey from the altar There is sure and speedy remedy at hand.
 The most marvellous medicine ever dis covered for women is Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription It is the discovery of a most eminent and skillful specialist, Dr. R. V. Pierce, chief consulting physician to the In- valids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, at Buff falo, N. Y. It acts directly on the delicate organs that make wifehood and motherhood possible. It makes them healthy and strong It cures all weakness and disease. Taken during the expectant period it in. sures healthy baby and makes parturition easy and almost painless. Women who wish to know all about the Favorite Pre- scription !" should write to Dr. Pierce.
 Mrs. W. Robinson springhill, Cumberland Co.,, Nova Scotia writes: II feel that I cannot say enough about your Favorite Prescription was confined on the Sth of April, and was only sick about thirty minutes in all can truthfully say that your medicine worked wonders in my case. Although the physician was in the house l did not seem to require his aid. am going around doing my own work and before had to keep girl three months till wes able to do my work. recommended the medicine to lady friend of mine and she is taking it. She expects to become mother next month"
 Constipation if neglected will lead the most robust to the doctors office The blood gets loaded down with impurities which 1t deposits in every organ and tissue in the body Serious illness is the inevi- table result Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets cure constipation. They are prompt and pleasant in their action. They never gripe. They cure permanently. and are not mere temporary palliatives. Druggists sell them. If you accept something said to be just as good, !" you will regret it.

CRUELTY OF FASHION.
The Destruction of the Bird Kingdom
 Owing to Feminine Custom.

The Destruction of the Bird Kingdom
 Owing to a Feminine Custom.
 The following from the Berkshire Courier, Great Harrington. Mass. finds a responsive sentiment in the hearts of hundreds in this city, among them not few prominent society ladies, who have long been alive to the im- portance of the reform in question, the importance of which Is so impressively set forth by the article in question:
 From the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals in Karlsruhe Germany, comes the following note of warning, which all should certainly take to heart: The destruction of the bird kingdom, through the hateful custom of making ugly the hats of women with the dead bodies of birds has reached such a degree that the so- cieties whose most important mission Is the protection of the birds, must take up the fight against this foolish fash ion more actively than ever
 Everywhere where bright feathered birds are found the consequences of this destruction are seen. We can pie ture what the end will be when it is realized that the fashion has already existed twenty-five years. It is prov cd that in England alone between 25,- ,000 and 30, 100000 birds are imported yearly, and that for Europe the num- Der reaches 150,000, GOO. Hence this fashionable craze has already demand ed between two and three hundred mill lion birds.
 That this wholesale destruction must have a marked, indeed, almost an ire parable effect on agriculture could have been foretold. Already in the southern lands of Europe are the forests perish ing in a frightful manner and not less are the orchards in danger, for against the increase of injurious insects there is no remedy when the little birds are missing And no land in the wide world is safe against this horrid de- struction. s5J
 From the East Indies alone dealer in London received 100000 humming birds, COCO birds of paradise and 100000 miscellaneous birds. In an auction room, also In London, within four months, over S00OO0 East and West h. dian and Brazilian bird skins, besides thousands Of pheasants and birds of paradise were put up for sale. In Florida the heron species is ami Inflated The aigrette is from the white heron, and as 1t is from the wedding garment it must be taken at the brooding time so that the coming gen. eration falls a sacrifice also. When the young are matched it is easy to catch their parents as they will not forsake their nestlings Every aigrette feather, small as it is, though looking less guilty than an entire bird, signifies the brital death of several birds; 1t signifies a nestful of crying young calling for food that never comes, till death by starvation has stilled their cries.

they fall to the ground. The corpses are sent in large baskets to Paris, to the milliners
 For several years, and this is proof of the degree reached in the destruc- ton of the southern birds, the supply does not equal the demand; therefore the little German birds, the finches larks, chickadees and other singing and insectiverous birds must fall victims to thus ruthless custom.
 How foreign lands think and write about this fashion a newspaper from Tokio Japan, will best show It says: Tt is not enough that the Europeans compress themselves with steel and whalebone; they also demand for adornment our beautiful and useful birds.
 But when they deck themselves with these it Is not only a crying wrong to our agriculture, but, moreover mockery of their boasted civilization"
 A severe but striking and deserved observation Every sensitive, refined woman must turn with repugnance from this custom, which originated In the barbarous fashion of the Indian, but among people who claim to belong to cultured nations it should be in- possible.
 It is sin against nature, this de- struction of her most beautiful tribes, to satisfy foolish vanity, but is also shining against that which should be to mankind especially to woman, most holy, the feeling of pity, of compass sion. What cultured woman would, after this matter Is brought to her Knowledge, have the face to deck her hat with the bodies of birds? Equally guilty of this barbarous cus- tom is every purchaser of these birds. martyrs unto death
 May these words meet with the right reception; may women at length reflect and acknowledge that there Is some thing better, nobler, more to be desired than this foolish style, which is bought l with the blood and life of creatures l fashioned by the God of love. May American women come to the front and be the first to do away with this brutal practice.
 1 Everywhere our orchards, our fruit trees, are crying out to be delivered 1 from insect pests. Competent witness ] es testify that all over our country, l within a generation, birds have dimin- ished in a most rapid manner and the | injurious insects have made headway in the same degree.
 ] Setting aside all sentiment the de- l struction to forests, orchards and l fields ought to be sufficient to deter l women from indulging in this murder ous practice.
 CAROLINE B. HOFFMAN,
 Stockbridge, Mass. 1 The contributor of the foregoing is the local secretary of the Massachusetts Audubon society, with headquarters in Boston, The object of the society is not merely to deepen desire for the study of one of the most beautiful and attrac- l tive classes of animals already fas- chatting recreation to so many anna | teurs seeking contact with nature, but also to advocate measures for the bet l ter protection of our birds whose pres- | ervation is matter of absolute neces- sity to the farmer and gardener. Mrs. Hoffmann takes pleasure in distribut- l ing circulars and giving information to anyone who may be interested and willing to awaken like interest l among his or her neighbors.

HARRoR FROZEN OVER.

A Novel Sight-People Walked Ashore
 from the New Lighthouse-Many
 Skaters.
 A novel sight was to be seen yes- terday in the harbor which is frozen solid from Long wharf as far as the new lighthouse, whence people were walking ashore on the ice. A large crowd of skaters were enjoying them selves in playing all sorts of games on the glossy surface.
 The Fair Haven oyster steamers had a hard time yesterday in breaking a way through the ice on the channel in order to get out of the harbor to the deep water oyster beds. They were sev- eral hours in making their way from Tomlinson's bridge to the mouth of the harbor.

The Bridgeport hospital is given all that remains after these claims have been paid This will give that institution about $180,000.
