P ROCEEDING IN DETAIL

There was subtle odor of perfume lin
gering about the Grand Opera House this
morning, which was a reminder of some
grand opera on an opening night. The COS
TUNES the lights on the stage, the flowers.
the boxes filed with the fair occupants and
the tout ensemble led to this effect. There
was a chattering in the auditorium, how
ever, throughout the proceedings of the
annual congress of the Daughters of the
American Revolution which would hard
ly have been permitted in grand opera
production. The aisles were filled with the
delegates, decked out in dainty gowns. and
the only thing which took away the idea
that it was really grand opera was the
absence of evening costumes.
The curtain did not rise at the appointed
time this morning, as it did not yesterday,
as the president general seemed to have

Frank Inconsistency.

John Hunter, one of the pioneers in the
practice of medicine 100 years ago, was
absolutely blind to any theory unsupport-
ed by facts. While many men were guess
ing out things he was seeking to prove
them.
81 love to think, - he said to one of his
colleagues, though he afterward qualified
the statement by an almost contradictory
one.
"But why Think Why not make the
experiment."
Like other men of real genius, he was
Lot afraid Of seeming inconsistent. Sir
Ashley Cooper once asked him, with some
surprise, if he had not once stated an
opinion directly at variance with one he
had just put forth, and he replied:
every likely. I hope I grow wiser ev-
cry year.
Again a pupil inquired if he had not
written to q certain effect.
Never ask me what l have said," he
returned, "or what have written. But
if you ask me what my present opinions
are will tell you.
Sometimes, too, he would say to pupils
who were taking down notes: "You had
better not write down that observation.
Very likely l shall think differently next
year. Youth s Companion.

FAME.

Full many songs he wrote, alacli! u.
He gavo his whole youth to his art. K =,
Yet not single line came back &
From other lips to cheer his heart. =
"This is tie last song from my pen!'
He cried. His heart was like to break.
lie wrote it. Then from haunts of men
He fled away for poor pride's sake.
His time of prime he lived alone
And labored with his hands for bread,
Nor ever struck tender tone,
Nor willing words to music wed.
But in tho twilight of his years
His heart grew restless, and one morn
He rose with all an old mans fears
And sought the town where he was born.
He strayed within the busy street
Nc face he knew, and none knew NM
He looked about for some retreat
And found IA doorway cool and dlm'
And rested there. "How sore to die
When there is naught to lose by death!
4 begsar woman paused hard by
And whined her song with gaps for breath

That day he set his muse tc fast

complains of feeling weak, nervous and
Respondent, and suffers from headaches,
pains in the back and stitches IN the SIDES
and burning, dragging-down sensations,
the average physician will attribute these
feelings to heart, stomach or liver trouble.
For years, possibly, she takes their pre-
scriptions for these ailments without re-
ceiving any benefit, then, in final disgust,
she throws away drugs, and hopelessly lets
matters take their course. A woman who
suffers in this way is almost invariably
sufferer from weakness and disease of the
distinctly feminine organism. There is an
unfailing and Inexpensive cure for all
troubles of this description. 1t is Dr..
Pierce's Favorite Prescription. 1t acts d1-
rect1y on the delicate organs concerned,
making them well and strong. 1t heals all
internal liberation and stops debllltat1ng
drains 1t takes the pressure OFT the nerves
and makes them strong and steady. Under
its marvellous merits thousands OF women
have been made healthy, happy and robust.
The 'Favorite Prescription restores weak,
nervous, pain racked women and makes
strong, healthy, capable wives and moth
ers With its use all pain and suffering
disappear. All good medicine stores sell
it and have nothing else "just as good"
Constipation and torpid liver will make
the most ambitious man or woman utterly
good for nothing. DR.. Pierce's Pleasant
