five, the time when womanhood begins
and motherhood ends, it is estimated
that the aggregate term of woman's suf-
terlng is ten years. Ten years out of
thirty! One third of the best part of a
woman's life sacrificed! Think of the
enormous loss of time /! But time is not
all that is lost. Those years of suffering
steal tho bloom from the cheeks. tho
brightness from the eyes, the fairness
from the form. They write their record
IN many a crease and wrinkle. What a
boon then to woman, is DR.. Pierce's Ta-
Vorite Prescription. 1t promotes perfect
regularity, dries up facilitating drains,
heals liberation, cures female weakness.
and establishes the delicate womanly
organs in vigorous and permanent health.

Rover Trained Them.

|. Mr.. R. c. w. Howard of Duval
county, Florida, vouched for the truth
of the following incident, which came
under his observation: Rover, a large,
shaggy dog, was the occupant of a
well-kept kennel. and was frequently
accompanied by a duck, which finally
gave a supremes test to his friendship
by laying an even dozen eggs in a cor
ner of his kennel. Rover did not re-
sent the encroaehment, but, ON the con-
trary, seemed to feel the responsibility
Of guardianship, and at night lay with
his nose little closer to the door of
the kennel, while the duck sat on the
eggs in her pre-empted corner. In due
season eight ducklings appeared. and
Rover appeared as delighted as il he
had dug woodchuck out OF his hole
in the pasture lot A week later the
mother duck lost her life in cow
kick accident. and Rover at once as
sumed the care of the web-footed or
phans, nesting them in his long hair
at night and in the daytime swimming
with them in the pond.

The Moon Baby.


There's beautiful golden cradle,
That rocks in the rose-red sky;
| have seen It there In the evening air,
Where the bats and beetles fly:
With little white clouds for curtains
And pillows OF feecy wool.
And dear little bed for the Moon
Baby's head.
So tiny and beautiful.
There are tender young stars around
1T.
That wait for their bath of dew
In the purple tints that the suns warm
prints
: Have left on the mountain blue;
There are good little gentle planets,
That want to be nursed and kissed,
And laid to sleep in the ocean deep,
Under silyery folds OF mist.
But the Moon Baby first must slumber,
For he is their proud young king;
So. hand in hand. round his bed they
stand.
And lullabies low they sing.
And the beautiful golden cradle
Is rocked by the winds that stray,
With pinions soft, from the halls aloft,
When the Moon-Baby lives today.

CYCLING FOR WOMEN.
1t Is Freshly Endorsed by High Medical
Authority.

Authority.
I an article in the Nineteenth Gem
tury entitled "A Medical View Of Cy-
cling for Ladies'" the author, DR.. w.
H. Fenton, Endorses the exercise, as
sorting that 1t has done more to inn
prove the health Of women than almost
anything that has ever been invented.
Let it at once be said, an organical-
ly sound woman can cycle with as
much impunity as a man. Thank
heaven. we know now that this is not
one more Of the sexual problems of the
day. Sex has nothing to do with it
beyond the adaptation OF machine to
dress and dress to machine. Women
are capable of great physical improve
ment where the opportunity exists.
Dress even now heavily handicaps
them. How fatiguing and dangerous
were heavy petticoats and flowing
skirts in cycling even few years ago
the plucky pioneers alone can tell us.
Inappropriate dress has a certain
number of chills to account for. When
fair practice has been made and the
hot stage SO to speak, is over, the
feet, ankles, neck and arms get very
cold when working up against wind.
Caters or spats, high collars and close
fitting sleeves meet this difficulty.
Summer or winter. it is far safer to
wear warm absorbent Undertaking
and avoid cotton.
The diseases OF women take front
place in our social life; but. If looked
into, 80 per cent of them are functional
ailments. begotten Of ennui and lack OF
opportunity of some means Of working
off their superfluous muscular, nervous
and organic energy. The effect of cy-
cling within the physical capacity of a
woman acts like charm for govt,
rheumatism and Indigestion. Sleepless-
ness, so-called nerves. and all those
petty miseries for which the liver is SO
often made the scapegoat, disappear in
the most extraordinary way"

A City Bnilt in TWO Days.

H- =
There never was such another coun-
try as this In the celebrity with which
plans are made and carried into effect.
Think Of a city built in two days!
That Is what happened In 1857 on the
line of the Union Pacific railroad in
Wyoming. In that year the company
decided to move its shops and estab-
lish new town. The site chosen was
on the plains, where there was neither
tree nor stone Every other lot in
the town was to be given free to the
person who would build house. The
day after the offer was made, the rail-
way had difficulty in moving all the
people who wanted one of those lots.
Free trains were run from as far rast
as Chicago, and in 48 hours 1900 peo-
pie were on the ground scrambling for
"a place to construct a home. As fast
as q location was secured, the building
of a home began. a good many OF the
houses. were of the knock down.
style Of architecture. They could ba
folded up and hauled in wagon, and
some Of the settlers had brought these
houses with them. For year the
railroad company continued to give
away lots There were no paved
streets nor sidewalks. A man who
had a home on a roadway where the
sod had been scraped up in a ridge in
the center regarded himself as an aris-
tocrat. The city is standing to-day,
but it is larger and more substantial,
and the knock down" houses have
given place to something finer. 1t now
bears the name of Cheyenne.

coming subject of the Chinese EN-
pire for just one day This time IS
the ninth day of the ninth month, ac-
cording to the Chinese calendar. On
this day a kite-hying festival is held.
Then every Chinaman who has any
regard for his spiritual and physical
welfare and can afford kite--and
there are few, indeed, who cannot at
ford such an inexpensive trifie--goes
to hill and dies his kite the whole
day long, This custom prevails more
generally, Of course, in. the rural dis
tricts, for were the inhabitants OF a
great city like Canton or Pekin each
to send up kite the strings would be-
come entangled and the very heavens
would be darkened with such a col
lection Of paper and string as never
was seen This custom was originated
by a man who had a. strangely real
istic dream, In which it was revealed
to him that some calamity would be-
fall his house on a certain day Wish
ing to avoid this unknown but ineV-
liable disaster, HE took his family To-
q neighboring hill top and amused the
children by flying kite. When he re-
turned home that night he found that
his house had literally fallen to the
ground, thus killing all the dogs and
pigs that had been left at home to
keep house. That set the fashion, and
since then whenever the anniversary
of that day comes round other fam
lilies, remembering the proyidential es-
cape of their countrymen, fly their
kites from the hills in the belief that
as the paper toys ascend they will car
ry off the evil spirits that might other
wise demolish their own houses and
bury them in the ruins should they
stay ait home.
