It has been wittily said of the martyrs that they were people who were cannon aded while they lived and were canon- ized when they were dead. The same thing might be said of many a woman, who has been cannonaded by eensures and criticisms while she lived and can onized as saint after death.
 Husbands don't mean to be small and selfish. But they can't understand the sufferings which come with facilitating drains, irregularity, inflammation, or ul- eeration of the sensitive female organs.
 Thousands of happy women pay trib- ute to the wonderful change in their lives effected by the use of Dr. Pierce S Favorite Prescription. It is not cure all. 1t has specific purpose, i'll the cur ing of diseases peculiar to women. It cures these diseases perfectly.
 Sick women can consult Dr. Pierce free by letter. Each letter is treated as a sacred confidence, privately read and promptly answered. All answers are in plain envelopes. Address Dr. R. V. Pierce, Buffalo, N Y.

By the way" said the woman, do you know that there are times when it is dangerous to enter an Episcopal ehurch?'' What is that. madam?" said the bishop, with great dignity, strengthening himself up in his chair. T say there are times when 1t is pos itiyely dangerous to enter the church. she replied. That cannot be-" said the bishop. Pray explain, madam. Why" said she, "it is when there Is a canon in the reading desk, big gun in the pulpit, when the bishop is charging his clergy. the choir Is mur- dering the anthem, and the organist is trying to drown the choir"

Simple Calculation.

There is a very simple rule for ind ing the average number of years which persons of any given age may expect to live. If the present age be deducted from 80, two-thirds of the remainder is the answer required. The result is not absolutely accurate. but 1t is near enough. For instancee, man aged 20 might, by this rule, expect to live 40 years longer, which IS just what the latest actuarial tables give. At 40 the expectation of life works out at nearly 27 years, while the tables give 1t as over 25 years. At 50 the above rule allows just over 13 years, and the tables show a little less.

WHITE HOUSE CHINA.

A New Set Made and Marked for Each
 Administration.
 The white house china is manufac- tured and decorated especially for the presidents house, says the New York Mail and Express. When a new ad- mlnistration comes In, new set of china is made and marked with the name of the president. Of course the old china is kept, the new being only of sufficient quantity to make up for the breakage and loss during the last administration. The decoration of the china consists of dark blue border, with gold tracings in shape of corn stalks and ears, while in the center of the white plate is the eoat-of-arms of the United States in eolors. The best of artists are employed to paint these plates, and, as each one is marked with the name of the administration, each has value. It is often quite an in- teresting part of white house dinner for the guests while waiting for the courses to turn their plates to see to what administration they belonged. The china of the white house is in the special charge of the steward, and he is responsible to the government for it. It Is rare that s2y of it gets out of the white house, and therefore the appear ance of the two plates in the auction room last week caused comment. The price paid for them (s4 apiece) was certainly remarkably low, in view of their value to collectors.

Why Chtnamen Eat Rats.

The Lahore Qndia) Tribune quotes 8 Chinaman's explanation of the use of rats for food purposes as follows: What carrot is to a horses coat rat is to the human hair. Neither fact can be explained, but every horseman knows that a regimen of carrots will make his stud smooth and lustrous as velvet, and the Chinese, especially the women, know that rats used as food will stop the falling out of hair and make the locks soft, silky and beauti- ful. I have seen it tried many times.

A piquant little joke is told about Baron Oppenheim, the wealthy and in- fiuential banker of Cologne, on the Rhine, who, though a Christian of the second generation, never denies his Jewish origin, no matter where he hap pens to be. Lately French flnancier, also of Hebrew extraction and native of 8 German town, though naturalized in France, paid him visit at his Co., logne bank, bent on stroke of busi ness in which he needed the aid of Baron Oppenheim, whose financial in fiuence along the Rhine is almost par amount. The "Frenchman" sent in his card. The bit of pasteboard almost suppressed the real name of the caller, which was Cohn, but added to the mere c of the Cohn long and flowing title. thus: ''Le Baron c. de Point Figuier." !" Baron Oppenheim looked at the card smiled a quiet smile, and then bade his caller welcome and proceeded to dis cuss business with him. The next day he returned the French fnanciers visit and sent in a card which was printed: "Le Baron o. de Cologne"-a fragrant reprisal, as will be onceded-Phila- delphia Enquirer

THE TOWN MEETING.

The annual meeting for town business
was called to order at one o'clock. The
first business was the reading of the re-
port of the clerk. This report showed
that the indebtedness of the township at
the beginning of the year had been paid.
The total amount of money on hand at
the present time is S2,S51.44. OF this
amount, S742.05 is due to the various
school districts S35900 is in the dog
fund and S1,750.39 in the contingent
fund. Claims outstanding amount to
S1,510.15, 81, 10000 of which is the railroad
bond of $1,000 and $500 interest. The
amount above claims in the contingent
fund is S24024 When the matter of adopt
ing the report came up, David Woodman
wanted to know something about the
railroad bonds and asked for the reading
of the contract between the township
and the railroad company and also the
resolution extending the time for the
completion of the work the company
agreed to do. After these were read,
Mr.. Woodman wanted to know if the
bonds had been delivered. Mr.. T.
Cavanaugh, the trustee appointed by
the township to release the bonds from
escrow when the proper time should ar
rive, was called on, and said that the
bonds had been delivered. Edison Wood
man found some fault because the com
pany has not yet built warehouse at
Lake Cora according to agreement, and
David Woodman was very positive the
bonds should not have been delivered
until the full completion of the contract.
Some others took part in the discussion
after which the report of the clerk was
adopted.
The report of the highway commits
sioner was read, showing that the high
way fund had been overdrawn sl5992.
The commissioner recommended, that
s1,03700 be raised for highway purposes
as follows;
$500 for road between sections % and

There was one particularly pleasant
feature of the election Monday in Paw
Paw township. For several years past,
there has been at each election lively
strife between the parties for places on
the election boards, and early morning
enthusiastic partisans have gone to the
polling places, the side that succeeded
in drumming up the greatest number
monopolizing the Jobs, at times giving
election boards all of one party. This
year, the leaders of both sides concluded
that it would be better to act as men
rather than to continue the boys play,
and agreed to divide the boards as
equally as possible. This was done ex-
actly according to agreement in the first
precinct. In the second, owing to mis-
understanding, two silver clerks were
put on, instead of one silver and one
republican. However, the principle is
the right one, aud it is to the credit of
both parties that they allowed fair play
to triumph over partisan feeling. The
Northerner believes the same plan should
be followed each year, and the principle
be carried into the village elections as
well as the township.
