The story of love Is as old az the world,
and as all embracing as the universe. It
furnishes the sentiment for all rQmances-
all novels-all plays.
The novelist considers it wholly from the
sentimental, intellectual side, but there Is
another aspect even more important--the
physical side. Sentimental love between
men and women leads to close physical as
sociation-to marriage-to the rearing of
children. And so health must be consid-
cred. A weak, sickly, head-achey, back
achey woman cannot be a good, helpful
wife. She cannot bear healthy, happy
children. She cannot give her children
the proper care and training.
A sick woman has no right to marry. A
sick woman has no right to attempt moth
erhood.
But no woman need be sick unless af.
hicted with cancer. There is q sure way
for her to regain her health. She need not
go to local doctor and submit to the dis
agreeable questionings, examinations Z"
and local treatments" so invariably in
sisted upon, and SO justly abhorrent to
every modest woman.

Watch With an Alarm.

A delightful novelty has just been
brought out in Paris, and we can sug-
gest no more suitable gifL for an un.
punctual damsel or an unmethodical
chaperon, who is apt in the enjoyment
of the moment to forget how the hours
fly, says The Irish Independent. The
novelty is an alarm watch, which is
attached to a bracelet in the usual
way, either set in diamonds or in plain
gold with curb bracelet. The watch
is set by the fair wearer before going
to the party. A little needle is re-
leased, which pricks the arm of the
wearer, thus etTectually drawing atten-
ton to the time. Had such a watch
been worn by Cinderella the story
would never have teen written.

RECORD BREAKING.

The Rage for It II Gratifed 1t the Cost
of Many Shortened Lives.
A bicyclist has accomplished the ex-
traordinary feat of riding from the
most northern point of Scotland to the
extreme southern point of England in
eighty-six hours and fifteen minutes.
The most remarkable part of the act is
included in the fact that he per-
formed his task without indulging il
one moment of sleep. He was three
days, fourteen hours and fifteen min
utes without reclining or resting or
ceasing his active movement of pro-
pulsion, except for the very .briefest
moments
The English Lancet points out that
themodern rage for record-breaking is
gratified at the cost of many shortened
lives. The healthy heart will beat 106,-
600 times in twenty-four hours, accom-
plishing work equal to lifting 122 tons

" Rose of HE'LL"
Seattle Times.

During his recent vis, in the East,
President Silver of the City Council
was presented with a unique specimen
al lowering tree, the blossom "i
which j. entirely of hard wood. 1t
was -iycn to him by Col. l.. {. Els
worth 81 Denver, and is said to come
from volcanic soil in Central America.
The specimen now in the possession of
Mr.. Silver seems to be almost perfect.
The blossom, ii it may lie called such,
is composed of four distinct petals,
concave in shape. and arranged much
like the petals oil a half-blOwn rose.
The outside oil the petals or divisions
OF the flower is covered with bark like
an ordinary tree; inside OF these divi-
sions the surface is indented with
lines that follow each other in deli
cate traccry, like the veins in the
petals OF some flowers. The stem,
which is about foot long, is OF solid
wood, not dissimilar from ash or iron
wood, only the fiber is more porous,
and the wood is much lighter. 1t is
covered with dark.brown bark, and
is cracked in several places.
Nothing like it is known to exist
elsewhere on earth. 1t is regarded
with awe and superstition by the ma
tives living in the vicinity of the vol
cano, and strange legend holds that
it is the only flower or ornament pro-
duced in hell. The flowers are re-
garded as a perfect mystery, as they
grow on an immense, strong tree, like
a rose upon a bush. In the history
which accompanies the gift, the
flower is described as "the greatest
wonder as natural product upon
EARTH"
Little is known OF the native super
stition which attributes the origin of
the flower to the demons of hades. 1t
is supposed, however, that as the ma
tives regard the crater of the volcano
as the doorway Of hell, they have
come to associate this prodigy of ma
ture with the fiery vengeance Of the
subterranean regions. No name has
been coined for the flower, but owing
to the native legend, it has been nick
named "The Rose of He'll"

FOR THE FARMER
la.s.:-.....a...s...:-.-: :..-...-2-.-:-.-:..-:.'

II has been often said and truly that
one Of the chief difficulties I'm making
farming profitable is that farmers less
than any other class construct their
farming operations on business prin-
ciples. BY this Is not meant that they
do not keep an elaborate set Of books,
showing just what crops have cost ana
how the income from the farm Is made
and also what has been done with II.
That Is the schO0lmastcr's idea about
applying business principles TO farm
ing. 1t Is entirely fallacious. Books
Of farm accounts. SO far N showing
what crops have cost, are almost ncccs'
sarily deceptive il they try 10 90 into
