that the baby will be healthy and happy
A marvellous medicine for young mothers
is DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. Taken
during the period preceding motherhood it
makes strong, healthy and vigorous the or
gans upon which rest the burdens of MA
ternity. 1t allays inflammation, soothes
pain, and restores steadiness to the nerves.
1t does away with the discomforts of the
expectant period. 1t insures the health of
baby and makes its coming easy and almost
painless. 1t is the discovery of an eminent
and successful specialist, Dr. r. " Pierce,
chief consulting physician to the Invalids'
Hotel and Surgical Institute, Buffalo, N Y.
Il took Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription
before my confinement and l was only in labor
a short time, writes Mrs. Minnie A. Peterson
Box S, Easton, Fresno Co., Cal. " The physician
SAID got along unusually we'll. l think the
medicine saved great deal of suffering and l
get all my friends who need it to try it,
One of the best-known of American Ned
man. begin with his grandfather" That
would be wise if it could be done. Since it
cannot be done try something else Reform
the future grandfathers and grandmothers.
Do this through education The greatest
thing for a man or woman to know is him
self or herself To know half the capa-
bilities and disabilities of the human body
is liberal education. A good start for this
education is DR.. Pierce's Common Sense

finely illustrated Iooo-page book for the
small price of twenty-one one cent stamps.

HIGHEST KITE FLYING EVER SEEN
A String of seven Sent Up 9,3sG
Feet.

From the New York Tribune. a..
Blue Hill Observatory Mass, Sept. 90
All kite records were broken here yester-
day afternoon, when the topmost kite of a
string of seven, all of the Hargrave type,
attained an altitude of 10,0l6 feet above
sea level, or 1886 feet above the summit
of the hill. The first kite was sent up
about noon, and the greatest hight was
reached at AIT o'clock
The day was particularly favorable for
flight, the air being clear, while at the
surface the wind blew In strong puffs from
the south. AS the kites rose they ran into
a more westerly current. Just after the
last one was sent up, the highest on the
string was almost directly over the lowest
the wire making long sweeping curve to
the eastward.
An aluminium box was sent up, contain
ing an instrument for recording pressure
temperature and humidity. IT was swung
1870 feet below the topmost kite. At the
highest point the instrument recorded q
temperature of 80 degrees, while at the
of the earth. At a hight of 1900 feet the
humidity rose rapidly, but It sank again
at a mile. AT 1000 feet it rose again, and
soon reached a point where there was al
most a complete saturation of the air
From there up the atmosphere became
drier, until at the highest point there was
scarcely any moisture recorded At the
ground the humidity all the afternoon was
low
1t took the steam engine a little over
two hours to reel in the -four miles of
wire, and the last kite reached the ground
at $40 o'clock.

ways. Sometimes the Legislature itself
has chosen the electors; sometimes the
Legislature has directed the Presidential
electors to be chosen by Congress dis
tricts, except, of course, the two cleo
tors known as electors-at-large and corre-
spending to the United States Senators,
who have always been chosen either by the
Legislature or by the people OF n State as
n whole. At the present time, however,
in almost all of the States, all of tho
electors, including not only those cor
responding to the tive United States Sem
ators, but also those corresponding to the
members OF the House Of Represen.
t~atives, are chosen by the people col.
lectiyely on a State ticket which corre-
spends to what the French call the sc11t-
tin de iiSte.
Now, Mr.. CARLISLE is right In saying
that this method of choosing Presidential
electors often leads to injustice. Had
the Presidential electors corresponding
to Representatives in Congress been chosen
by Congress districts in the State of New
York, HENRY CLAY would lave become
President in 1914, and CAss would have
been successful in 1s4S. To take a moro
recent and striking case, which Mr.. CAR.
Isle does not mention, his patron, GROVER
CLEVELAND, who, In 1884, carried the
Empire State by a plurality of about
1900, would have been defeated had Presl.
Dental electors been chosen In this State
by Congress districts. This Is the only
grave defect in our method Of choosing a
President and q Vice.P President, to which
Mr.. CARLISLE refers; and it manifestly
does not need a constitutional amendment,
but can be corrected at any time by o vote
of the Legislature.
