The woman ON the Wall.

The general health of every woman is so in
tmatey related to the local health of the wornanly
organism that when this is diseased the whole body
must suffer.
Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is a medicine
specially prepared to the ailments and diseases
peculiar to women 1t contains no alcohol, neither
opium cocaine nor any other narcotic. 1t is
purely vegetable and will not disagree with the
weakest constitution. The results produced by its
use are marvellous, because it cures the causes
which undermine the womanly health and strength
1t regulates the periods dries the drains which
weaken women, heals Inflammation and liberation
and cures bearing down pains and female weak
ness. The scope of vFavorite Prescription may
be summed up in the statement: ut makes aeak

She regards her fair face in the mirror with just-
fable pleasure A fair woman has right to rejoice
i'll her beauty; in mooth cheeks, bright eyes, ruddy
lips and rounded throat
But there is a woman the wall watching a
shadow woman with thin cheeks and wasted hands
The young wife does not see the woman on the
wall If she did she would only smile at the
grotesque shadow-picture. How can a shadow so
distort the beauty which casts it
uColnng events cast their shadows before"
In that worn and wasted shadow of woman on
the chamber wall there is forecast of day all too
near hand when the cheeks shall lose their soft
ness, the eyes look duly out upon the world the
pouting lips shrink and shrivel, and the rounded
throat grow lean. The changes which marriage
often makes in matters of common note.

THE POMPOM.
One-P0under Gun That Fires Three
Hundred Shells a Minute.

From London Public Opinion.
The pompom, which has been used by the
enemy on the Modder river, Spion kop and
elsewhere is most interesting weapon. Ii
is an automatic Maxim gun, firing a one
pound shell at the rate of about three hun
drcd a minute. 1t differs only from the
ordinary rifle caliber Maxim in being larger,
in having a hydraulic cylinder to control
the energy of recoil, and in having two
springs instead of one, to return the recol-
ing portions of the gun to their place. The
front half of the gun beyond the shield is
the barrel casing. This is kept full of wa
ter in order to keep the barrel cool The
remainder of the gun behind the shield Is
known the breech casing. 1t contains
the feed block, through which the cart
ridges, which are held croSSways in a belt,
are fed one by one into the gun. The force
that does all the work Is the recoil, which
drives the barrel back and also forces the
lock to the rear. While doing this work the
recoil congresses two springs, one of which
forces the barrel to the front again, and
the other the lock.
The force of the recoil is able to do far
more work than is entailed in unloading
and reloading the gun, so If it were not
given some other occupation it would abuse
its strength by knocking the gun to bits.
Therefore, to control the recoil, and to give
it a harmless job to do, the barrel, when it
recoils, is made to force a loosely fitting
piston In a cylinder full of liquid. This COM
pelS the liquid to squeeze past the eGse or
the piston and the cylinder, which is con-
structed that all the spare energy of the re-
coil is used up in doing this work. The lit
tie cylinder which thus uses up the surplus
recoil is at the rear end Of the breech
casing.
The cartridges are like oversrown rifle
cartridges; they are about six inches long,
but instead of having bullets they each
have an iron shell loaded with powder and
provided with percussion fuse. which ex-
plodes the missile when it strikes anything.
Each shell breaks up into from ten to
twenty pieces, SO that minutes con-
tiEuous firing would cause at least three
thousand whizzng, jagged bits of iron to
fly about the enemys position. Our only
experience of the gun on service has been
to act as target for it in the present war
This eminently practical trial has taught
us that when used at moderate ranges
say within three thousand yards-the moral
effect is immense, and the material de mage
done is considerable. There Is no weapon
our men have a greater respect for. Shells
from field guns give you little breathing
time between their bursts at any particular
place, but the pompom sends a stream of
shell five a second to the same destination.
Some of these guns have been sent out re-
Gently for our army in South Africa, but
no mention has appeared yet of thei- hay
ing been in action.

supplies this lack Of nourshment by forcing these
