beautiful castles to be built by the loving hands of mutual helpfulness and filled with healthy, happy children
 Almost without exception these dreams might become realities if mothers would only teach their daughters the most com mon sense facts about their own physical makeup, and advise them how to protect themselves from the perils of the three critical periods of their lives-puberty or maturity, motherhood and the turn of life" Women at these times suffer from irregularities and weaknesses which, if neglected, will develop into dangerous dis eases and make their whole lives wretched.
 The del1cate organs that make wifehood and motherhood possible, cannot be neg lected with i1npunity. If they are neglect ed the result is unhappy wifehood, and motherhood will be a menace of death. Dr: Pierce's Favorite Prescription is an un- failing specific for all diseases of these organs. It restores them to perfect health. It promotes regularity of their special func- t1ons. It fits for wifehood and mother hood It tones, invigorates and builds up the nerves that have been shattered by pain and suffering.
 ' For years my wife suffered from what the doctors called prolaPsus of the uterus'' writes MT Harry Chant, Of 2II Haskell Street. Dallas. Texas. !" She was nervous, had cold hands and feet palpitation, headache, baclache constipa- ton, disagreeable drain. bearing-d down pains and no appetite. She got weak she could not get around. am only 1aborer and was always in debt to the doctors and all for no good none Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription and it seemed to work like charm She has taken about thirteen bottles and is today as stout and healthy as any woman in the United States "

A YEARS ENTERTAINMENTS.

Some startling figures as to embez- clements and breaches of trust in this country in 1897, and also some ob- servations by prominent business and professional men on the subject were recently published by the New York World. It is somewhat surprising to hear the suggestion that the standard of public and private honesty is higher when the defalcations show a consid- erable increase over the preceding year.
 The compilation of statistics in the field indicated, as given by the New York paper, shows a total of $11, ,154,- 530. This total is between s2000, ,000 and $3,000,00O greater than similar stealings for 1896. How can ministers and bankers conclude under such cir cumstances that the standard of hon. esy is higher?-as they do in the World. The idea that the defalca- tions are more generally known now than formerly or that their propor- tion to the volume of business is smaller, can hardly apply when con- pairing 1897 with 1896. Business was about the same one year with the oth- CT, and certainly the facilities for getting and publishing the news were equal in the two years.
 It is more than likely that cur grow ing desire for display in this country, social rivalrioc and tho oftop evil in f1uences of club life, are driving men in prominent positions and in places of trust to an extravaganza not justi- fled by their salaries. Embarrass- ments lead to desperation and despera- tion to crime. The love of money be- comes more and more the root of evil, as money becomes more and more the open sesame to social distinction and preferment of all kinds. Our fast and free life in the United States also has it's temptations that ruin thousands.
 The great mass of the people may possibly be growing in morality and the world is possibly becoming better, slowly, but it is questionable if public dhu Pl1NdIC hOACoIy III WhdC WS Cd1l the higher walks of life'' shows an improvement over conditions of few years ago. Nor are we likely to see a higher standard of business fidelity until American society recognizes something better as an idol than the golden calf, and finds distinction in something else than garish display. The bulk of our defaulters, in both public and private station, is com posed of men who have been occupy ing enviable social positions and whose crimes have been the direct re- suit of costly living in an effort to keep "in the swim.'

a bushel. That is the whole story, but the moral is obvious.
 The story is unquestionably true and those men were deluded and de- ceived by MT. Bryan and others of his kind. If they continue to hold out for the false populistic notions it will be their own concern. Those six farm CTS should now realize that the law of supply and demand has been work ing with beneficial results throughout the west for several months. It is the only law that applies to the cultiva- tion and sale of grain.
 We cannot understand why it is that the false doctrines and refuted argu- ments of Bryan still hold many men in the western states and elsewhere. Since the campaign of 1896 the doc trines enunciated by the advocates and supporters of the Chicago platform have been disproved along the entire line. MT. Matthews, who writes of what he sees and hears, and in a spirit of fairness to all concerned, is doing a most admirable work in placing some solid truths before the country He is supplying most admirable cam paign material for the advocates of sound money and practical business methods.

nifying glasses over boilers filled with water When the sun has crept over the Superstition mountains on a sum- mer's day and it's f1rst warm rays strike the glass the water in the boil CTS will begin to simmer. As the sun rises, the simmer will grow louder and the water will boil up and pro- duce steam. The steam will be sold to customers over the city who use motive power in their business and the question of fuel will be settled as long as the sun shines warm and bright and they say that is every day in the year excepting only those days when prominent men come to spend a day here"
 You should get my friend, Donald Grant of Minnesota, to tell you about his Venezuela enterprise" said A. H. Linton of Minneapolis, who is stopping at the Adams. ''He has one of the largest concessions ever granted one person by any government. It con- tains, think, 100000 acres of land. MT. Grant has started a town on his big "farm," as he calls it, which is known at Catalina. He has shipped a number of saw mills there from the States which are now in operation. Besides large tracts of pine there are agricultural lands and mineral belts. There are mountains there like your Camel Back mountain which are all most solid masses of iron. An Eng fish syndicate has leased one of Mr. Grants iron ranges and they are op- erating there on a large scale. MT. Grant derives large income from his farm" but he says he is too old to think of going there to live and look after his interests personally His son is there now and has charge of the lands.
 "At Catalina MT. Grant has built a hotel as large as the Adams" contin- ued MT. Linton, land he has a pros porous town growing up in the cen ter of his big farm.''
 ''No, will not be one of the bidders for the construction of the Big Bug builder of St. Paul who is stopping in this city. T will be kept pretty busy in Minnesota this year. We are going to build the Fosston branch of the Great Northern from Fosston to Duluth, beginning early in the spring. This will give the farmers of the Red River valley, the famous wheat pro- ducing region of the northwest, a di- rect line to the market at the head of the big lakes. They have been fight ing for this for many years, but it was not until late years that the coun- try became settled enough to warrant the building of the road"
