SHORT EDITORIAL NOTES
The Paris Exposition.

It seems that all the world
is endeavoring to boycott the
Paris exposition on account
of the sentence given Capt.
Dreyfus at Rennes. And it
looks now as if the exposition
will be a failure, and consid~
ering the circumstances who
would regret it? Surely there
can be no real purpose, so far
as the good it would do any
nation, to make an exhibit at
Paris, while the people of the
world are filled with cons
tempt for the entire French
republic,
The French people not only
deserved to be ignored, but
are disgraced in the eyes of
all civilized nations, unless it
is true that other nations do
themselves credit by taking a
sympathetic view Of the stu
alton.
The action of the courts
martial in giving the verdict
and the deaf ear which the
judges had for any evidence
favorable to Dreyfus convin>
ces the entire world that no
such thing as justice can be
found in France, and if there
is no sympathy for that ma
ton shame and dishonor, deg
radiation and contempt will
be the cry,

1t is expected that the ma
val parade in New York when
Dewey arrives will be seven
miles long, and that 10000
men will march in the land
parade. The naval demons
stration will take place on
Friday, September 80, and
the land parade September
80. The Herald says the cost
of windows which may be oc-
cupied to see the marching of
the procession will be ''from
$50 up, according to location"
The welcome of the victorious
sailor will be both explosive

Two hearts can make love affair. but 1t
takes three, at least, to make a home, and
one Of them must be that of a baby The
young married couples that start out In life
with the idea that children are nuisances,
and that they do not want and will not
have them, are the kind that You read
about every day in the rewspapers-in the
divorce column. A home without children
is not home. God and Nature never in
tended that there should be q place called
home that did not resound with the patter
of childish footsteps.
There are tens of thousands of homes
that are cliiIdless because of the iH-healtl
of the wife and would-be mother. There
are tens of thousands of other homes child
less because the little ones have died al
most as soon as they were born. In both
cases DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is
a sovereign remedy. 1t acts directly on
the delicate and important organs that
make wifehood and motherhood possible.
It makes them well, strong, vigorous. yirile,
and elastic. 1t does away with the dangers
of maternity. 1t banishes the usual dis
comforts of the expectant period and
makes baby's advent easy and almost pain
less. 1t insures the little new comer's
health and an ample supply of nourish-
ment. The prospective mother prepares
herself for maternity by taking the Fa-
vorite Prescription = and gives her child
well developed body. Thousands of homes
that were childless, to- day echo with
babies laughter, and bless this great medi-
cine. Thousands of women who were
weak, nervous, respondent invalids, are
to-day happy, healthy wives and mothers
because of this medicine. Medicine deal
ers sell it.

warning of a practical architect to
women anticipating building will be
both timely and helpful.' ''The

1t is rank heresy, using wainscoting

Over-Furnislied Room.

1t is easy to find tasteful uphols-
terry goods, rugs or carpets, and all
manner of stuffs in good colors at a
low price. Excellent furniture was
never so low in price as it is today.
1t is not difficult to furnish the room
Of house in good taste. The dan
ger in household furnishing today

nisod not only with useful pieces,
but with decorations. Plain spaces
on the wall are relief to the eye.
A crowded room where the differ
ont chairs, settees and sofas, leave a
cramped space to move about in is
very uncomfortable apartment.
A room where the scarfs, tides wall
decorations of various kinds, man
tie decorations, floor vases and other
ornaments are obtrusive is even
more objectionable. Such orna-
ments defeat their object, and turn
their room into a museum or storage
place. This is not the greatest OBJ
ection to over furnishing. The
greatest objection to a superiority of
furniture ornaments is that thew
make unnecessary labor They must
be busted and cared for, and this
means extra trouble. No woman
who has not an abundance of ser
wants can afford for this reason to
crowd her rooms with furniture.
II is quite possible for q woman TO
wear out her life in the absurdly
foolish tasks of busting chairs that
