Priceless EP Pain

"If price can be placed on pain, Mothers Friend is worth its weight i'll gold as an allevi- ator My wife suffered more in ten minutes with either of her other two children than she did all together with her last, having previously used four bottles of Mothers Friend. IL is a blessing to any one expecting to become mother" saY4 a customer.
 Thus writes Henderson Dale, Druggist, of Carmi, H., to the Bradheld Regulator Company, of Atlanta, Ga, 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 organism which bear the severest strains of childbirth.
 The liniment may be used at any and | all times during pregnancy mp to the very hour of confinement. The earlier It ! is begun, and the longer used, the more perfect will be the result, but 1t has been used during the last month only with great benefit and success.
 It not only shortens labor and lessens the pain attending it, but greatly dinin- ishes the danger to life of both mother and child, and leaves the mother i'll a coll dition more favorable to speedy recovery.
 Mothers Friend " is sold by druggists at sI.oo or sent by express on receipt of price.

Much Hotter.

It is q popular but evidently an in
correct notion that Indians have little
tenderness of feeling toward 1.-THE brute
creation. An Indian agents story,
printed in the New York Tribune,
shows that one Indian at least might
teach his white brother lesson.
Out in the country where the Indian
agent has been staying rabbits are hunt
ed for sport, and every precaution is
taken to preserve this game, that the
sport may not be interfered with. The
eagle is the rabbits greatest enemy,
and hearing that one of these noble
birds had a nest in the neighborhood
the agent undertook to destroy it. John,
an Indian who often accompanied him
on his hunting expeditions, was asked to
go along.
They found the nest without difficult
ty and caught the young eaglets in the
act of deyouring a rabbit. 1t was an ill.,
teresting sight, and the two men watch
ed it for some minutes. In the mean
time the mother eagle had returned, and
circled about the nest high above them.
"What shall we do, John?" the
agent asked at length. "Shall | throw
the nest down on the rocks or shall we
pick them off with our guns?"
"Let's go home" said John, after
some deliberation, land let the helpless
little things grow up in peace.

Right of Private Burial.

The late Lord Clarina, an Irish peer,
did not wish to lie in burial vault.
The churchyard of his parish was over
crowded, the lying there was indeed
snug. and he therefore directed that his
body should be inferred in field IN his
estate. Now, this is thing Of frequent
occurrence on southern plantations In
this country, and on northern farms
similar burials are by no means I'M
known. But in Great Britain the action
of Lord Clarina was considered at first
illegal. The Pail Mall Gazette, alluding
to this, remarks;
"Mr. Little, in his work on 'Burials,
remarks that In many cases expressions
have been used which imply that nc
method of disposing of the dead other
than by Christian burial with certain
ecclesiastical exceptions) is lawful in
this country, but in the famous case Of
DR.. Price, the Druid who cremated his
dead infant on the top of a mountain,
Mr.. Justice Stephen, in the great Judg-
ment which established the legality oil
cremation in England, expresses his
opinion that these expressions must not
be taken as deciding that no other meth
cd Of disposing Of the dead is lawful
and that the courts never intended to
lay down any such rule. All they meant
was that "a duty rested upon somebody
of decently disposing Of the dead body
in question, but that such duty Nigh;
be discharged either by burying 1t OF
disposing of il in some other lawful
manner, such as by burning OF course
an essential point to be secured In de-
cent disposition is that no nuisance
should DO created"

Journalism as n Profession.

Does the novice dream Of reputation
also in the fields of jounalism' 1t is a
dream indeed. He will too often find
his hopes ruthlessly crushed between
the upper milestone Of a ceaseless grind
of nerve wearing work and the neither
milestone Of fear on the part Of his en-
ployer, that the acquisition Of some
measure of popularity, the enhancement
of professional reputation in the public
esteem. may involve an increase in the
office pay roll. There is no hope Of lit
erary laurels for the writer who sticks
to the ranks of newspaper workers, be-
cause, first, newspapers have little use
for writings Of a distinctiyely literary
character, and, second. the training that
fits a writer for journalism largely I'M
fits him for literature, and vice versa.
There is fellow feeling between the
author and the newspaper man, but no
real professional kinship. Dickens, Kip
ling, Howells, Willard, Hawthorne,
Stevenson, Hay, Blaine, SAKE, Whit
man, Harte, Twain, Taylor, Murray,
Barrie and less brilliant luminaries
abandoned the proftless moiling OF
news and editorial service to harvest
fame and fortune in other fields, most
of them as authors-writers of books
Richard Harding Davis, E. w. Town
send and Opie Read are following in
their footsteps. Many more are doubt
less destined to some degrees Of efful'
gence in the literary galaxy. Walter
