What nobler, better ambition can young
couple have than to live loving, helpiul
lives, and then, in green old age, look
back over a life that has been mutually
self sacrificing, useful and successful! The
one great umbling block that stands be-
tween most married couples and tins ideal
married career is ill-health, If both hus-
band and wife would take proper care OF
their health, there would be more male,
hearty and happy old people in the world.
If, when man suffers from the niue Ills
of life, he will resort to DR., Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery, the chances are that he
will avoid the big and fatal illnesses. This
great medicine gives man healthy
hunger, facilitates the flow of digestive
Juices, invigorates the liver, purihes and
enriches the blood and builds firm, muscu-
lar, healthy flesh tissue.
1t is an old saying that women are hard
to kill. There is some truth III this, as far
as the majority of illnesses are concerned.
There is one class of disorders, however,
that quickly undermine any woman's gen
eral health. No woman can retain her
strength who suffers from weakness and
disease of the delicate and important or
gans that make wifehood and motherhood
possible. DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip-
ton is an unfailing cure for all disorders
of this description. 1t acts directly ON the
sensitive organs concerned in natural,
soothing way. 1t makes them strong,
healthy and vigorous. 1t pre- pares them
to bear the burdens of maternity. 1t is
the greatest of nerve tonics The woman
who uses it will bear healthy, happy child
rem, and live to ripe old age.
DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets regulate
and invigorate the stomach, liver and
bowels. By all medicine dealers.

Her Complexion.

Made up compilations are on the in
crease in New York. The fashionable
or would be fashionable New Yorker
who does not today make up little is
rare bird. A dab Of rouge for evening
has never been considered criminal by
her, but she now uses it for daytime as
well. AS always happens when a habit
becomes more universal, much of the
present make up is very badly done
The few did it, as rule, artistically
but the many lay it on with a heav.
hand. Without wishing to go into tn
ethics of make up it is safe to say thi
the fact that SO much of it is done
badly is one reason why we object tt
the increase.
One must always have sneaking ap.
probation of the story of the father who
when told that his daughter used rouge
called her to him and asked if it were
true.
cit is, replied the girl.
"For heavens sake" said the father,
Ego straight up stairs and wash it off. -
The girl did SO and returned to her
father, who gave one glance at her col
orless cheeks.
"For heavens sake" he cried, "go
straight up stairs and put it on again. -

he does not hesitate to say SO.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills saved the Life
Of his daughter.
Saved her when eminent physicians
failed, when the pharmacopoeia was tx
haustedJ when science acknowledged
defeat.
The gratitude Of the father overba1ances
the natural conservatism Of the man, and
he tells the world his story that Others
may be benefited.
"At the age of fourteen" said MIR.

Two Steps at a Time.

One evidence of the ever hustling char
acteristics of the average New Yorker is
shown on the stairways of the up town
station of the elevated railroad at Park
place and Church street. The steps of
these stairways are covered with rub
Der, but every other step has large iron
rings imbedded in the rubber.
This was caused by the fact that the
New Yorker is never content to wait
even one minute for train, and that
when he hears one approaching as he is
at the foot Of the stairs he will rush up
the stairs two steps at a time hoping to
catch the train.
AS result the elevated railroad off
Gals noticed that the rubber mating on
every other step was wearing out twice
as quickly as the rest. For long time
they pondered as to the cause, and one
day Manager Fransioli solved the prob
lem. To know was to act in his case,
and the steel re-enforced rubber now
lasts if anything longer than the Or
binary mats on the other steps.-New
York Sun.

The Old Lady's Discovery.

story of the late President William H.
Allen of Girard college: On one occa-
sion a business matter called Mr. Allen
to small town in the central part of
the state While sitting in the parlor of
the country hotel in the evening after
transacting his business he was taken
in hand by the wife Of the proprietor,
who was extremely inquisitive and
wanted to know all about his private
affairs. Mr.. Allen took it all in good
part and for time was rather amused.
Finally she asked, "Have you got much
Of a family"
ooh, yes" said he, and he smiled as
his mind reverted to his hundreds of
pupils.
"How many children?" she persisted.
"Well," said Mr.. Allen, with great
earnestness, II have 500 and all boys!''
The good old lady was speechless for
moment. Then she arose and hurry
ing to the door called to her husband
"Oh, John! Come in here! We've got
Brigham Young stoppin with us!"

Rum Subsidiea.

The English officials in the far east
have some queer methods of dealing
with the natives of various provinces
who have come under the sway of their
government.
For the submission of some Of the
tribes composite subsidies are paid each
year by the British agents. A good spec
linen of these is the subsidy paid to
the Bhutias of Assam.
The chiefs assembled under the wide
spreading shade trees in front of the
agents bungalow, and the subsidy, con-
sisting of 5000 rupees in silver, 10
pieces of broadcloth and 49 bottles of
rum, were spread out on the ground.
A formal ceremony, lasting only a
few minutes, precedes the actual deliv-
ny of the subsidy.-New York World.
