Birth-marks which mark and mar
the outside of the body are grief to
every mother whose children may bear
them. But for every child who bears
birth-mark on the skin there are
many who bear an indelible birth
mark on the mind. Nervous mothers
have nervous children and many man
and woman owes an irritable and des-
pondent temperament to those days of
dread when the mother waited the
hour of her maternity. The use Of
DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription
strengthens the mother for her trial.
With strength comes buoyancy of
spirits and quietness Of mind, which
Is one of the happiest gifts mother
can bestow on her offspring. By CIV
ing vigor and elasticity to the delicate
womanly organs Favorite Prescription
practically does away with the pain of
maternity and makes the baby's ad-
vent as natural and as simple as the
blossoming of flower. There is no
opium, cocaine or other narcotic con-
tanned in Favorite Prescription.

TidInqs from New York.

Norman E. Mack. proprietor of the
Buffalo Times, is at the Sh0reham.
wv estern New York Democrats. said
Mr.. Mack, ''are loyal to Mr.. Bryan.
With the exception of a few corpora
tion and trust lawyers, the party is in
line and in full accord with the Ne
braskan. Those who left the party in
1896 are coming back and are affiliat-
ing with us. The 16 to l bugaboo has
few terrors for the so-called gold Dem
ocrats this year. The financial trans
actions of the Treasury Department
during the past few weeks have aided
the Democratic cause, not only in the
Western end of the State, but from
Lake Erie to the Atlantic. I firmly
believe that the Empire State will elect
Democratic governor next Novem-
ber, and that the electoral vote will be
cast for William Jennings Bryant

Experience Of an Engineer.

ITO run over a man-perhaps that's
the only thing of all that shakes me'''
quotes Leslie's Weekly. ITO see him
on the track within ten or twenty feet
OF you; to know that you can't stop
to saye him; to feel the wheels of the
engine 60 over his body, crunching out
his life-a man does not want to ex-
perience that more than once in a
lifetime.

and old mate of mine in the west, when
I was riding in the Union Pacific
never mind his name, he's dead now.
As good an engineer as ever stood in
box. cool as the devil, nerve like steel,
had been through three wrecks, a bold
up and a fire. Well, one day Jim was
a little behind his schedule and made
like any thing for the next stop. There
was crossing right in front of him.
He saw that everything was clear, as
he thought, and went right ahead,
when all at once out Of clump of
trees, there ran little golden hailed
fairy right in front of the engine.
sit was all over in one instant, and
when the train stopped Jim dropped
like log. 1t was two months before

could never come to that crossing but
he saw the little girl with her hair
fluttering in the wind, running out
from the trees. And one day he just
got off his engine, turned itover to the
second man and walked away and was
never seen again until his body was
found in the river"

HOW A MAN SPENDS LIFE.
Some Interesting Figures Compiled BY
Curious Statistician.

An ordinary man would laugh away
as preposterous the suggestion that be
was likely to spend 20 years Of his life
in sleep.
But that is because he does not con.
duct his life according to q schedule
and really has no idea of how be does
spend it.
As a matter of fact, most men over
80 years old have already spent more
than 70 years in bed, which is only
oae of the surprises in store for the
man who sets himself to work to dis
cover how those "a hours that daily
slip by SO mysteriously are disposed
Of
by a painstaking study of averages
skilled statistician has recently ar
rived at the conclusion expressed In
the following figures. They apply to
the average American man Of so years
ofage. They do not accurately repre-
sent his life today, because his years of
infancy and childhood are included in
the computation. They will apply
neither to the man of leisure nor to the
laboring man. But perhaps the aver
age man, who both works and plays,
will recognize himself in them.
Twenty years in sleep.
Three years, nine months in eating
and waiting for the waiter.
Seventeen years, six months in work
ing.
Seven years, six months in pursuit
of pleasure.
Six years, three months In walking
and other exercise.
Two years, six months at making
ones toilet.
Two years, six months doing abso-
lutely nothing.
The item of toilet may be subdiYid-
ed into seven months for shaving,
eleven months for washing. one year
for dressing. Most men walk about
three years and six months, and spend
two years and nine months in other |
exercises.
The little table becomes more inte]li |
gible, if less impressive, when it is re-
duced to scale of days. In which |
case it stands as follows:
Eight hours sleeping.
One hour, thirty minutes eating.
Seven hours working.
Three hours amusement.
Two hours, thirty minutes exercise.
One hour toilet.
One hour doing nothing.
The average man if confronted with
,his will doubtless claim that he does
lot spend eight hours in sleep. You
nay retOrt by telling him that it is
doubtful whether he spends seven in
work. But in his youth he slept more
md worked less, and all this is taken
nto account in estimating averages.
An elaboration in any direction of
he statistics given above is interest
ng. For instance, it has been COM
outed that in a single year man may
speak II, 800, 900 words and give 1900
landshakes. The total energy dis
,ensed in this fashion also during SO
years would be sufficient to raise $500
;ons.-NeW York World,

For Convention.

The Democratic members of the Gen
eral Assembly in caucus decided by an
almost unanimous vote in favor of
holding a constitutional convention.
The date, however, was not fixed.
1t was agreed that the question shall
be made party issue, and all the
Democrats in the State who owe Nlle-
glance to the party will advocate the
measure on the hustings.
The meeting was very largely at.
tended and the vote in favor of the
convention was overwhelming.
All the speakers advocated certain
changes except Mr.. Whitehead, of Nor.
folk, who saw no necessity for con.
vention.
The date for the holding Of the con.
vention was decided last night, too late
for US to get report in this issue.
