THE FIRST BABY.
It's Coming is Looked Forward TO
With Both Joy and Fear and its
Safe Arrival is Hailed With
Pride and Delight by All.

The arrival of the first baby in the
household is the happiest and most i'm.
portant event of married life. The young
wife who is to become mother delights
to think of the happiness in store for her
when the little one shall nestle upon her
breast and latterly she shall hear it lisp
the sweet and holy name, "mother."
But her happy anticipation quickly van
ishes when she realizes the terrible pain
and suffering through which she must
pass while bringing the little one into
the world. Anindescribabl fear OF the
danger attendant upon the ordeal soon
dissipates her joyfulness.
Thousands of women have learned
by experience that there is absolutely
no necessity for the sufferings which at
tend childbirth; they know that by
the use of Mothers Friend" pa scien-
tific liniment-for few weeks before
the trying hour, expectant mothers can
SO prepare themselves for the final
hour that the pain and suffering of the
dreaded event are entirely obviated and
it is safely passed through with com-
paratively little discomfort.
All women are interested, and ess
pecially expectant mothers who for the
first time have to undergo this trial, in
such remedy for they know the pain
and suffering, to say nothing of the dam
ger, which is in store for them. 'sMoth-
er's Friend" is woman's greatest bles-
sing, for it takes her safely through the
severest ordeal of her life. Every woman
should be glad to read the little book

Found the Ends.

An Irishman who was out of work
went on board vessel that was in
the harbor and asked the captain il he
could find him work on the ship.
"Well." said the captain, at the same
time handing the Irishman piece OF
rope, ''if you can find three ends to
that rope you shall have some work"
The Irishman got hold of the rope
and, showing it to the captain, said,
chats one end, your honor" Then he
took hold of the other end and, show
ing it to the captain as before said,
''And that's two ends, your honor"
Then, taking hold of both ends Of the
rope, he threw it overheard, saying,
"And faith there's another end to 1t,
your honor"
He was Immediately engaged.-Lon-

Beers came out victors and held the
British under close siege for 26 days.
AT the end of that time the garrison
was REINFORCED by troops from Cape

to abandon the effort to control by
force of arms the country he had clear

Pretorious then trekked northward

Four great trekking parties settled in

We're formed, but the outlying territory
gave shelter to lawless blacks and

four little republics united to form the
Transvaal republic, with Pretorious as

union took place in 1864, and since

THE DEATH OF THE WORLD
scientists Fail to Agree as so How,

Scientists Fail to Agree as 80 How
the End Will Come.
Scientists seem to agree that the
earth some day is to be destroyed by a
gigantic cataclysm, but fail to agree
upon the "how.' DR.. Henry Smith
Williams, in writing in Harper's
Monthly on Some Unsolved Scientific
Problems" says:
IF so much uncertainty attends
these fundamental questions as to the
earth's past and present, it is not
strange that open problems as to her
future are still more numerous. We
have seen how, according to Professor
Darwin's computations, the ].
threatens to come back to ca.t,l with
destructive force some ca. Yet Pro-
fessor Darwin himself urges that there
are elments Of fallibility in the data
involved that rob the computation of
all certainty.
"AIuch the same thing is true of per
hapS all the estimates that have been
made as to the earth's ultimate fate
Thus it has been suggested that, even
,
our day will become month long and
then year long; that all the water OF
the globe must ultimately filter into its
depths and all the air fly off into
space, leaving our earth as dry and as
devoid of atmosphere as the moon, and
finally, that ether friction, if it exists
or, in default of that, meteoric friction
must ultimately bring the earth back
to the sun.
"But in all these representations
there are possible compromising factors
that vitiate the estimates and leave
the exact results in doubt. The last
word of the cosmfc science of our cen
fury is a prophecy of eyil-if annihi!a
ton be an evil. But it is left for the
! science of another generation to poin,
| out more clearly the exact terms il
! which the prophecy is most likely te
/ be fulfilled"
