Result OF Enterprise.

The giving away of the Neto England
Home Magazine every week with the
Boston Sunday Journal has proved one
of the biggest features of enterprise
ever undertaken by Boston paper.
The circulation of the Sunday Journal
has jumped already more than fifty per
cent and is still increasing, as every
body who sees the magazine wants to
obtain a copy regularly. By buying
the Sunday Journal at its regular price,
the New England Home Magazine Of
forty-eight pages each week Che same
size page as the regular magazines,
with bound cover, and handsomely il
Illustrated with genuine magazine pic
tures), is obtained without a cent of
cost. The Journal announces that it
will send a sample copy to any one who
has not seen the magazine, as it is sure
that any one, after seeing the maya
zine, will want to receive it regularly
with the Sunday Journal.

resulting in people knowing themselves

men and women together by the tender

He spurred up his horse, and as they
passed corn field, whose leaves were

and kissed her.
Early the next morning Lucy wrote
the following letter:
Dear Charley:

more worthy woman than 1 for wife.
Goodbye. Yours sincerely, Lucy.
That night Frank Whitmore came

Many months after the wedding,
Charley heard the news on the Yukon.
He turned pale as death when he read
the intelligence, and for weeks he laid
on his cot in raging fever. Health

appalling death that still threatens limo
cent men. 1t is slow and lingering death
from consumption. One sixth of the hui
man race die from this relentless enemy of
humanity. Probably no subject connected
with health is so important and SO little
understood as the conservation of vital
force. The human organism is wonderful
machine, and is so constructed that If ex.
naustive draughts are made upon the vital
forces during youth and middle life, the
mechanism responds for the time, but at the
expense of its future usefulness The man
who overworks or exhausts himself day
after day is constantly overdrawing his
store of vital force. Finally the mechan-
ism of supply breaks down and the man
becomes physical bankrupt. The me-
chanism of supply in a man is his stomach.
There the food is transformed into vital
force. If the stomach is weak and the di-
gestion impaired, the body ceases to re-
ceive and store up vital force. If tho
other equally fatal disease is the result.
DR. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery is q
great producer of vital force. It enables
man to daily store up energy to do almost
any amount of work or stand any amount

stomach. II makes the weak stomach

Robert Krook, the Swedish Kondike
miner. tells the San Francisco E1aminer
that Esquimau dogs will draw two
hundred pounds each on sled, 30
that six dogs will draw years supply
for one man. He, however, puts in
the proviso that the sleds should not
have iron runners, because the snow
sticks to the iron and increases the
friction 80 much that the dogs cannot
haul more than one hundred pounds
apiece. With brass runners this draw
back is obviated. Last winter Esqui-
mau dogs cost from $75 to 5000 apiece,
and he does not think the price will
increase materially, because when the
demand Is known the supply from
other parts of Alaska will be plentiful
at Dyea and other points along the
Yukon. Sometime the feet Of the
dogs get sore, and then the Indians
fit moccasins on them; as soon, how
ever, as the tenderness is gone from
their feet, the dogs will bite and tear
the moccasins off. In speaking of the
dogs he said that they need no lines to
guide them and are very intelligent,

when camp is pitched, the moment q
blanket is thrown upon the ground they
will run into it and curl up, neither
cuffs nor kicks sufficing to bulge them.
They lie as close up to the men who
own them as possible, and the miner
cannot wrap himself up 80 close that
they won't get under his blanket with
him. They are human, too, in their
disinclination to get out in the morning

dogs will carry fifty pounds apiece in

SELECTED STORY.
A Deceitful Woman.

(From the pen OF Rev. @. w. Gallagher
in the Minneapolis Tribune.
Lucy Markham sat in her bedroom
looking out of her window, thinking.
The sun was setting. The skies were
q mass of gorgeous color, every hue
OF the rainbow was painted from the
zenith to the horizon. A network Of
gold, crimson and purple was hang
ing over the Green Mountains; for it
was in Vermont that Lucy was sitting

sank down in a glorious couch of pur-
pie, trimmed with crimson, she heaved

lofty peak of the Green Mountains,
seen for hundreds of miles around.
Lucy lifted her head, and gazed at
the gigantic outlines of the lion. sit

me-" she said, SIS it an omen of good
or evil?" she asked herself. The clouds
shifted. The lion moved. He leaped
forward.
"Hels coming down the mountains"
che exclaimed as she instinctively put
her hands to her face to cover then
from the onslaught of the lion. But it
was only the sinking sun casting a
halo of brilliant rays on the mountain
side. The sun went down. The splen-
dor of color faded from the mountain
the soft gray of twilight fell on all
nature, and the lion disappeared in
the gentle falling shades of summer
evening. Lucy still sat at the win
dow, thinking. The sun was not more
golden than her hair. The sky had
not 80 soft a blue as her eyes. The
rose in her hand was not more pink
than the delicate tints in her fair face.
She was twenty-five years old, beauti-
full, intelligent, accomplished. The
world had always smiled upon her. She
returned the smile with enchanting
sweetness.

FILTERED BLOOD.
MOrrOw's Method Of Curing Diseases
Accusing the Interest OF
Scientists.

Physicians of all schools are beginning to
realize that the primary cause OF nearly every
disease that attacks the human system is the
failure of the kidneys to perform the duties
nature assigned them.
The blood is constantly absorbing f. ON the
different articles of food taken into the stom
ach, various impurities, which, if permitted to
course through the system, quickly render the
blood unfit to carry on the process OF healthy
nutrition and ultimately result in the develop
ment of disease.
1t is the duty of the kidneys to filter the
blood; the slightest irregularity in the per-
formance of this function is Immediately mani
tested in a general weakness of the body;
tendency to give out with little exertion. This
symptom is closely followed by others of much
more distressing nature which it is often Gus.
tomary to attribute to other causes.
John Morrow, an eminent chemist of Spring
field, Ohio, using as basis for his work the
theory that the kidneys are responsible for the
CONDITION of our health, has produced new
remedy which he has named MOrrow's Kidne-
ODDS, the purpose of which is to act directly on
the kidneys eliminating all unnatural deposits
and rectifying the damage caused by their ex-
istence.
The remarkable results obtained by this
medicine have attracted wide attention and
established a new method of treating disease,
the efficacy of which cannot be disputed.
Morrow's Kidneoids are prepared in yellow
tablets so small as to almost rob them of their
virtue in the eyes of those not versed in medi
cine, but SO potent is their influence that their
effects are noticed almo t Immediately.
They are now on sale generally If not to
be had of your dealer, they will be sent post
paid on receipt of 80 cents per box, 6 boxes for
$3.50. by the Herb Medicine Co, Springfield,
Ohio.

The best investment for surplus earn

upon the following lines are likely to
