to which the Expectant Mother is
exposed and the foreboding and
dread with which she looks for
ward to the hour of woman's
severest trial is appreciated by but
few. All effort should be made
to smooth these rugged places
in life's pathway for her, ere she
presses to her bosom her babe.

allays Nervousness, and so assists
Nature that the change goes for
ward in an easy manner, without
such violent protest in the way of
Nausea, Headache, Etc. Gloomy
forebodings yield to cheerful and
hopeful anticipations-she passes
through the ordeal quickly and
without pains left strong and
vigorous and enabled to joyously
perform the high and holy duties
now devolved upon her. Safety
to life of both is assured by the
use of "Mother's Friend" and
the time of recovery shortened.

Clover Smoke Device.

The Japanese have "A curious way OF
clearing railroad tunnels of smoke and
gases. Each end of the tunnel is provided
with canvas curtain, hung ut the top so
that when it is dropped it covers the en-
trio mouth Of the tunnel. When Il train
enters tho tunnel, tho curtain at that end
is dropped. and il is kept down until the
train leaves tho other end OF the tunnel.
The result Is that all the smoke and gases
arc carried along with the train and forced
into tho open air ut the farther end of the
tunnel. II is asserted that this plIngcr ac-
ton is so perfect that smoke from an en-
gine seldom reaches as far back ms the
middle of thc train Scientific men are
puzzled Ia account for the success Of the
systcm.- Boston Budget.

Early cannibalism In tho West 1na,,,

Early Cannfbniism In tho West Indies
We can picture tho depretlations caused
by tho inccssant marauding of bands OF
these ferocious cannibals, and tho terror
they must have excited in the minds of the
mlldcr Islanders. Peter Martyr tells us
that in his time alono moro than 8, 600 men
had been taken from tho island of Snncti
Johannis to DO eaten. Evon aftor the
Caribs had abandoned cannibalism they
continued n fierce and desperate people.
Stunned and dreaded by Arrowauks and
Europeans alike, and when cannibalism
had ceased to lie an everyday matter il
would break out every now and then when
OCCASION arose. Tho establishments of
Spanish rule and the disappearance of tho
Arrowarks must havo been the main fac.
tors i'll the decline of cannibalism, but Ec-
foro such was the case the Caribs seem to
have given up the practice in some places.
Thus Herrera says that chose of st. Croix
and Dominica were greatly addicted to
predatory excursions, hunting mon" but
not long before he wrote tho Caribs of
Dominica had eaten u poor monk, land
nc SO disagreed with them that many died,
and that for time they left of eating
human flesh, making expeditions instead

The English Inn.

The cheap place in which to live is
like the typical old English inn that
my American friends are continually
asking me to find for them. 1 found it
the other day, and, as the point of this
incident lies entirely in it's truth, give
names and addresses
/ cycled my American friend over the
hills from Croydon to the little hamlet
of Little Warlingham, and there we
ran into the courtyard of an inn named
the Leather Bottle, which designa-
ton had an old world flavor that de-
lighted the man from New York. We
had there most excellent lunch, and
the charge was IS pence instead of the
usual half crown.
My friend was enthusiastic and re-
solved to haye the innkeeper up and
compliment him on the choiceness and
cheapness of his viands. | begged him
