Thus writes Henderson Dale, Druggist,
Of Carmi, ILL.,, to the Bradheld Regulator
Company, of Atlanta, Ca, the proprie-
tors and manufacturers of " Mothers
Friend" This successful remedy is not
one of the many internal medicines ad-
vertised to do unreasonable things, but a
scientifically prepared liniment especially
effective in adding strength and elasticity
to those parts of woman's organism which
bear the severest strains of childbirth.
The liniment may be used at any and
all times during pregnancy up to the
very hour of confinement. The earlier it
is begun, and the longer used, the more
perfect will be the result, but it has been
used during the last month only with
great benefit and success. "..-E ....'.. .......

THIS LOOKS LIKE MARBLE.

Hans Hirsch, a Chicago sculptor, has
Just succeeded in perfecting an inven-
ton which will be of inestimable value
to all the followers of his art. He has
experimented for years in producing a
material for the use OF sculptors that,
while il can be made to shape In the
mold, WILL when removed from IL, nave
hardened into a perfect similitude or
marble.
Every sculptor mas found great
drawback in his work in the fact that
his best product. .ons have been COM
paratively a failure from the need or
the material which will reproduce them
and this is what Hans Hirsch has been
fortunate enough TO discover.
His invention is a material in which
the plastic original can be reproduced
so that the cast will show all the fine
details. will harden again and show
while capable of being rendered soft
enough to take the impress or these
details, will hearden again and show
i'm the finished surface marDle-llke
surface. Up to this time plaster of
paris has been the substance used Tor
this purpose, but 1t has been much OBJ
jected TO by sculptors on account OF
it's perishabe qualities, being affected
by contact with water and air. 1t
also soils easily and Is dithcult to
clean.
Terra Gotta and bronze casts have
been found more lasting, but because
OF the dark color they are not adapted
for every purpose. and marble has been
the sculptor's only resource. This also
has it's drawbacks, as many clever
workers i'm clay are unable Ia work in
marble, and are Obliged to have the
creations of their own brains copied
by other hands The expense Is also
very great. and not very many artists
can afford To have all their work re-
produced in marble.
So the value OF Mr.. Hirsch's invention
can readily be appreciated when IL is
understood that IL so closely resembles
marble as 10 be undistinguishable
from IL In weight or the purity or clear
cut effect Of the work.

and Mrs. Mckinley were highly de-

IRISH BULLS IN THE BIBLE.

The Religious Herald says! Can any
body tell us whether there were any
Irishmen among King james, transla-
tors? our reason for springing such
question may be found i'm the curious
fact that some Of the verses Of the au-
thorizcd version of the Bible read ex-
actly like Irish bulls" For instance.
the third verse of the fourth chapter
of that strange book, Ecclesiastes, reads
thus: Yea, better is he than both
they, which hath not yet been, who
hath not seen the evil work that Is
done under the sun" The involved con-
struction here makes the verse some-
what obscure; but little study OF the
connection will make the meaning clear
enough. The preacher. liz mourning
over the evils OF life, has just said that
at one period OF his life he had reached
the conclusion that a dead man was
better off than living one. See sec
ond verse OF second chapter. In the
third verso he pushes his view still
further. and concludes that he who has
not lived at all is better off than either
the living or the dead. Now. II lie has
had no existence. has never lived at all,
how is IL possible to compare his we'll
being with that OF anyone else? The
thing IS quite like the bull OF the
Irishman who, upon being taunteu up
on running away i'm a battle. replied.
quite seriously: And sure isn't il bet
ter Co be coward. for half an hour
than a corpse for the rest OF me life2"

teenth chapter OF Second Kings and al
so in the thirty-flfth OF the thirty-sev-
enth chapter OF the prophecy OF Isaiah.

arose early I'm the morning, they were
all dead corpses." This ~. on the face

bewildering problem of cause and ef-

The walls here, as in the balconies,
are laid ia gradations of a rich old rose
hue. over which a delicate white lace
pattern has been imposed, producing an
effect of satin damask that is as soft

contributes much TO enhance the beau
ties of the more striking features or
decoration throughout the house.

In him; and. as i'm Boston. he has back
