The divorce evil seems to grow with
every year. 1850 divorces were granted
In the State Of Ohio last year. We agree
that there are faults on both sides, but the
great problem is: Are those faults remedi-
able To great extent there is no doubt
the conditions which result in divorce may
be remedied. Given dyspeptic husband
and wife suffering from female trouble
and we have the ready made elements of a
divorce case. In view of the facts there
can be very little doubt that many women
look forward to divorce only because they
seek relief from obligations they do not
feel fitted to fulfill. Women are not to
blame. They have looked forward to their
home life as dream of paradise. Then
disease comes like serpent and destroys
all happiness. ~
Women who suffer with facilitating
drains, Inflammation, liberation, female
trouble and bearing down pains, will find
certain relief and cure in Doctor Pierce's
Favorite Prescription. II so invigorates
the organs peculiarly feminine and regn-
1ates their functions that they are estab-
lished in a perfectly healthy condition.
The old lightness of heart comes back !;
there's light in the eyes and smile on the
lips. The old irritation and nervousness
are gone, and the husband comes to his
home as haven of rest and comfort.
"I was troubled with female weakness, and
after taking three bottles of DR.. Pierce's Favor
ite Prescription am free from pains" writes
Mrs May 4. Jones, sag Madison Ave. ,Ypsilanu,
Mich "I had suffered for two years when 4
began taking your medicine. I could not walk

THE LOBSTER AS A FENCER.
His Skill Shows He Must Have Had
Previous Experience.

From the Contemporary Review.
That fencing is pastime among Holsters
l have no doubt, from some little expert
ence 1 have had with them. Once I found
a lobster near low water in pool some
nine feet long by six wide. having rough
bottom and eight or ten inches of water
on 1t, with a cavern at each end. Although
l was armed with crab hook or iron GAIT
about three feet long, the extreme dart
ing and fencing of the lobster were too
much for me to grapple with. When in
the deeper cavern l found it could see me
through the water as plainly as l could see
it; so that here the better constructed eyes
of the genus homo had no advantage over
the rough hard stalk eyes of the crusta-
cean; and as / could not get to gait across
it, every effort l made was evaded. At last.
however, by mere vigorous and energetic
Calling l made the cavern SO uncomfOrta-
BILE for the lobster that, like a lightning
fash it darted between my legs and into
the lesser cavern. Here the same game
went on. and with like results; for in
moment he was again between my legs
and back into his old haunt. Finally, be-
coming tired of gafting and missing Cfor its
fencing was perfect and could not have
been achieved without long practice) 1
declined to be beaten by a mere crusta-
cean and proceeded to bail out the pool.
1t was only by this effort that l eventually
conquered 1t. And here 1 must confess
tnat throughout the Ddttle so ueTt, CRAFTY
and subtle were its actions that it was
like fighting a being endowed with human
intelligence.
l have further proof that they manifest
a severe martial spirit in the sea when
hunting for food. 1t is nothing uncom-
mon for fishermen. when drawing up their
traps in the morning. to find the large
claw of another lobster in the pot beside
the prisoner; and there have been in
stances when three large claws have been
found together under the above conditions.
And lobster with one arm as a prisoner,
showing that in a recent fight the victor
had lost one, and the vanquished both its
arms. But these are only trif1es compared
with what the late Sir Isaac Coffin saw
on the coast of Nova Scotia, for it is given
on his authority that he once witnessed a
terrible battle between two armies of lob
sters. and that they fought with such fury
that the shore was strewn with their claws.
