SOMETHING SERIOUS
 IS GOING TO HAPPEN.
Scientists Puzzled by the Strange Conditions of the Earthquake on
 the Isthmus of Tehuantepec.
marriage.

" OAXACA, Mexico, Feb. 1-Earth- quakes in the region of the City or Tehuantepec, in this State, are pug zling the local scientists. The localiza- ton of the seismic phenomena is re- markable, fully 90 per cent of the movements being confined within space of fifty miles in one direction and twenty-five miles in another, and one of the noteworthy things is that the subterranean roaring and rumbling are frequently heard without any comme- tion on the earth's crust. Fortunately no loss of life has been reported.
 : That something is going to happen is believed. 1t is entirely within the limits of possibility that the eastern part of the isthmus will sink, allowing the: sea to come in, which would reduce the width of the isthmus considerably.

If woman will but study the physiology of the organs dis tinetly feminine, and learn to take the prop CT care of her health to take the proper remedy for weakness and disease peculiar to her sex motherhood wills become an uT1- allowed pleasure, where now it is dreaded and avoided for its pains and dangers.
 The best medicine for woman to take during the period preceding motherhood is Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. It is the only medicine for this purpose invented by a regularly graduated skilled and expert specialist in the treatment of the peculiar diseases of women. It cures all weakness and disease of the organs that perpetuate therace. It makes them strong and vigor- ous.f 1t rids the expectant period of it's usual discomforts Itirsures baby's health and makes its coming easy and almost pain less. It is the discovery of Dr. R. V. Pierce, chief consulting physician of the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, at Buffalo, N Y. Women who wish to know more of the "Favorite Prescription should write him.
 Frederick Frederick, of No III4 s. Second St., Camden N l., writes: My wife is a customer ofyours She has used Favorite Prescription to prevent miscarriage. She had a sickness last pain. I repeatedly told her to use your medi- cines but she persisted in going to socalled spe- cialist whose treatment ouly made her more sick and miserable Then she used the Favorire Prescription and was cured.":
 Pleasure It is matter of health alone Nothing else. A healthy man can't be ur- happy if he wants to. Much sickness is caused by constipation. pr. Pierce's Pleas ant Pellets cure constipation.

ly fits the entrance to the burrOw
and when closed so precisely CORE

that it can hardly be distinguished
even when its position is known. 1t
is a strange sight to see the earth
open, a little lid raised, some hairy
legs protrude and gradually the
whole form of the spider show it.
SELF These spiders generally hunt
for food by night, and in the day
time they are very chary Of opening
the door of their dOmicile, and if
the trap be raised from the outside,
they run to the spot, hitch the claws
of their forefeet in the lining of the
burrow and so resist with all their
might The strength of the spider
is wonderfully great in proportion
to its size.
