Woman's power Is largely dependent
upon her ability to interest, entertain, at.
tract and please. II is for this reason that
women strive TO become accomplished
They study in order that they may converse
intelligeutly on all subjects. They strive
to become good musicians, graceful dan
GERS and aniable hostesses.
All accomplishments are unavailing If a
woman suffers from i'll health in a womanly
way. The special weakness peculiar to the
womanly OF ganism, will rapidly wreck the
general health. The sufferer will lose her
natural vivacity, her wit, her good looks
and the ambition and power to display the
accomplishments at her command. Any
woman affected in this way should resort
to Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. II is
wonderful medicine for ailing women. 1t
IS the invention of an eminent and skillful
physician, DR.. r V. Pierce, for thirty years
chief consulting physician to the Invalids'
Hotel and Surgical Institute, at Buffalo,
N. Y. 1t aims to cure but one class of dis
eases, and claims tc be good for nothing
else. 1t imparts health, elastic strength,
vigor and virility to the delicate feminine
organs. It prepares woman for wifehood
and motherhood.
Mrs Ramon Sanchez, Penasco, Taos County.
N Mex. in a letter to DR. Pierce says: From
grateful heart my voice goes up to God both night
and day in solemn prayer that He may guard
your health and preserve your life. hereby ex-
press my gratitude to you for the relief have
received from your wonderful medicine, Favor

Until recently the coaling station has
been the unanswerable argument Of
all experts. real and reputed." says the
New York World. Modern war"
they have said, 'is naval war. To
carry on n naval war, you must have
bases of coal supply, and that means
that you must have coaling stations
scattered about tha world wherever
you may some day have TO fight
This certainly sounds like n ''clinch-
er." But the events of this war have
already shown several facts which
have attracted a respectable and grow
ing group Of experts away from the
coalin. station theory.
For instance. our fleet off Santiago
has coaled in heavy weather from
transports that were enabled 10 lie
alongside of the warships by an in
genius system of tenders invented not
long ago. In the second place, Dewey,
having no coaling station, seized one
at Cavite. and it is pointed out that
the enemy could not possibly defend
all his coasts so effectually that no
harbor could be seized and fortified
and made into n coal depot.
Against the permanent coaling sta
ton it is pointed out that II is n vast
expense in time of peace, LAT it may
be remote from the scene of hostili-
ties, that it must be powerfully de-
Tended by fleets and forts both in
time of peace and in time of war.

colliers, can go with the fleet wher
ever the campaign may lead, is just
as easily defended as Il naval station
with its protecting fleet, and is a
smaller expense in war and no ex-
penst at all in peace.
The question is still open. But 1t is
not improbable that England's much
praised ''far-sighted policy OF estab,
fishing coaling stations everywhere"
may turn out to have been much over.

Need of Covering During SIeep.

The reason it is necessary to be well
covered while sleeping is that when
the body lies down it is the intention
Of nature that it should rest, and the
heart especially should be relieved Of
It's regular work temporarily. SO that
organ makes ten strokes a minute less
than when the body is in an upright
position. This means 600 strokes in
sixty minutes. Therefore, In the
eight hours that man usually spends
In taking his nights rest, the heart is
saved nearly 5000 strokes. As 1t
Dumps six ounces of blood with each
stroke it lifts 10000 ounces less of
blood in this nights session than it
would during the day, when a man
is usually in an upright position. Now,
the body is dependent for its warmth
On the vigor of the circulation, and as
The blood flows so much more slowly
through the veins when one is lying
down, the warmth lost in the reduced
circulation is supplied by extra COW
erings.

German UNDERSTANDING OF Receiver.


a case was in one of the Cincinnati
courts that involved a receiver for a
building association. The plaintiff
was Il highly respected German who
knew what he wanted. but in some
manner the attorney had not taken
the steps that his client desired
When the plaintiff was on the stand
his attorney examined him at length
During the examination the old gen.
tleman became excited and answered
the questions in such a way that the
Judge was under the impression that
he didn't thoroughly understand the
questions and answers. He declared
that he didn'. want receiver, that he
didn't want his attorney to take the
step, and that all he wanted was his
money.
At this point the Judge suggested
that the court Interpreter be sent for,
that the German might make himself
more clearly understood. But he de.
clared that he understood what he
wanted, and that was his money, and
if he failed to get it he would kill
himself.
TO ascertain If he knew what he
wanted the Judge said:
''Do you know what a receiver is?''
''Yes, sir; l do, sir" said the honest
German. HE vos der man vot gifts
der mOnish und | gifts nottings.'
This convinced the Judge that the
plaintiff knew quite well what he
was talking about. So the interpreter
was dispensed with. for the time be
ing, at least.
81 guess" said the Judge, in con-
clusion, ''he knows about as much
about a receiver as we do"

chusetts court announced this decision,
the like of it was declared in Pennsyl-
vania. According to the law of that
state man cannot marry his paramour
after having obtained from or granted
to his wife a divorce. In this case, the
wife. who is still living, obtained a di-
vorce from her husband. Shortly there
after the man and the woman who was
made a correspondent in the divorce
proceedings went to Maryland and We're
married. They returned to Pennsylvania
and lived on the mans farm as husband
and wife. When the divorced and re-
married man came to die, and when the
last wife came to apply for letters of
administration, the courts of Penn
sylvania decided that the last marriage
was null and void as far as Pennsyl-
vania is concerned.
Decisions of this kind will be apt to
hasten the day when congress will take
up the question of divorce and so deal
with ii as to furnish divorce code
which shall be of universal applica-
ton. as far as the jurisdiction of the
federal government reaches.

An IlI-Starred Island.

IN one OF yesterdays dispatches
printed in the Standard, the figures
relating to the condition of the
masses in the Cuban provinces make
up CHASTITY recital. In this instance
the testimony Is furnished by officers
of the United States cruiser Mont
gomery, recently at Matanzas. They
report that there are $4,000 people alb
solutely without food and clothing
within the city limits About 5000 of
these live in small huts Of palm
branches. The other ll.000 unfortun-
ates live in the streets of the city and
are absolutely without homes or shell
ter. These $4,000 people are of the la
boring class, who have been driven
into the cities from their country
homes. which have been destroyed in
the war operations.
According to statistics gathered from
the best official sources. the number of
deaths in the province of Matanzas
from starvation is $4,000 and the num-
Der of starving people at present in the
province is estimated at $4,000 out Of 4
total population of 253.6l6 in December.
1897, and the number of starving people
is rapidly increasing In the city of
Matanzas alone there have been about
1900 deaths during the past year, and
the number is increasing daily. The
death rate, at present, averages "A per
day. as shown by the reports from the
cemetery.
OF like import is information from
Washington. Lately the government
has received official reports from
American consuls on the island Of
Cuba. It was supposed that the infor-
nation these reports contained was To
be- given out at once-possibly the
Maine affair has prompted the govern
ment To withhold them for a time
However that may be. part Of the con
tents of these reports is already known
in Washington: they make a showing
that ought to move the heart of hu-
manity. These reports. when given

With all the rest, 1t may be taken
as a certainty that in Cuba the auton-

Is. in fact, no longer belief anywhere

time that the plan should succeed

undoubtedly the people in the admins
tration circle at Washington realize
that the autonomy scheme Is a hum
bug. So that these miserable. starv-
ing, dying beings on the island have
absolutely nothing to look forward to
except condition even worse than the
one in which they now find them
selves-if anything worse is possible.
How much better 1t would have been
If the administration at Washington
had been candid in this deplorable
business in the first place An affir-
nation that Spain had failed on the
island and that it ought to be free, was
an essential plank in the platform on
which Mr.. Mckinley was elected. Re-
cent events show how near the island
is to us. how readily it can be reached
and how promptly our government
could have assured itself of the actual
conditions prevailing there. In the
presence of these conditions, if the
United States had bid the islanders be
free. If it had made it possible for them
to till their land, If it had fed their
starving and sheltered their sick, If
it had said to Spain that it's war of
determination must cease, if it had
acted, not in the name of a wrecked
ship and it's hundred drowned seamen,
but in the name of three hundred thou
sand perishing beings-if the govern
ment of the United States had said and
done these things. would any power on
earth. civilized or savage, have dared
to demur?

without an idea of the meaning of

Making Trouble for Themselves.

rHE other day. in an eastern
state, Nat Goodwin's wife OBJ
tanned divorce. That was what
Goodwin was waiting for; forthwith he
went To another state and married the
woman with whom gossip has for some
time associated his name. This is
common praetiee-improyiden men like
Goodwin rush into it, yet it involves
troubles which are going to become con-
stantly more frequent
The law of Massachusetts prohibits
dhe remarriage within two years of a
person against whom a decree of di-
vorcement has been obtained. Laws Of
this kind are not regarded as having
any weight, because the public acts Of
the states have always been accepted
i'm good faith by the other states. The
case which seems to have turned the
course of things was as follows: A Mas
sachusetts husband obtained divorce
from his wife. and twelve days there
after the latter went into New Hamp-
shire and was married. Returning TO
her own state of Massachusetts, the mar
riage was held to be void by reason Of
the fact that the woman had gone across
the border for the manifest purpose OF
avoiding the law of her own state.
Almost on the day when the Massa-
