WOMEN IN TROUBLE.
The Approach of Motherhood il the
Occasion of Much Anxiety TO All

Every woman breads the ordeal
through which she must pass in becom-
ing mother. The pain and suffering
which is in store for her is source Of
constant anxiety, fear and dread, to
say nothing of the danger which the
coming incident entails. The Joyous
anticipations with which she looks for
ward to baby's coming gives way to an
understandable dread of the ordeal when
she fully realizes the critical and trying
event which will soon approach and
have to be endured.
Women should hail with delight a
remedy which insures to them inn
munity from the pain, suffering and
danger incidental to COLLABORATING.
Such a remedy is now offered, and
women need not fear longer the hour OF
childbirth. Mothers Friend"-is q
scientific liniment-and if used before
confinement, gently and surely prepares
the body for the great requirements
and changes it is undergoing, insures
safety to both mother and child, and
takes her through the event with COM
garat1ve ease and comfort, This won.
derful remedy is praised by every
woman who has used it.

Doesn't Waste Words Now.

"My husband" said the lady who
combed her hair straight back from
her brow, used to waste words a good
deal. but he has gradually outgrown
the habit since he and / have known
each other
"And how las this harpened?" the
other woman asked.
"It has Just been a sort of natural
development-evolut you might per-
haps call it, The first letter he ever
wrote to me was shortly after we had
become acquainted and before there
was really anything like an under
standing between us. This is the way
he signed it:
'sYours, my dear Miss Weston, most sincerely
John HAMILTON EAsToN.
s"There, you see, were ten words
enough for telegram-just to bring a
commonplace friendly letter to an end.
But after we became engaged his first
letter to me was signed in this way:
''Yours, my darling, afectionately, JOHN.
"That, you will observe, was re-
duction of so per cent from his conclu-
sion as mere friend. The first letter
he ever wrote to me after we were
married was signed:
'Yours, JOHN"

and then continued:

win Make a Cat Run.

With regard to color, both cats and
dogs appear to have little aesthetic per
ception. We have heard of dog ap-
pearing to prefer scarlet to blue, but it
is difficult to eliminate the effect of as
ISOLATION in dealing with a single in
stance. Cats, however, seem to show
definite aesthetic perception Of tex
ture-9sthetic, for it is not ordinary
bodily comfort which rules. They may
like to sleep on velvet. but they revel,
waking, in the feeling Of cracking pa
per or texture of stiff silks, and there is
q we'll authenticated story of a cat
which goes into the garden to lick the
undersides of foXglove leaves and can
not be kept from trying with his tongue
the texture of flannelette.
But the keenest aesthetic pleasure for
a cat lies in the region of smell. The
dog uses smell merely as a medium
of information, but the cat revels in it,
She will linger near tree trunk, smell
ing each separate aromatic leaf for the
pure pleasure of it-not like dog, to
trace friend, foe or prey. If the win
dow of a close room is opened, the cat
leans out smelling the air. New dresses
are smelled, partly, perhaps, for future
recognition, but also, apparently, for
pleasure. A strong smell, above all a
spirituous smell, is not only disagree
able, but absolutely painful. Lavender
water may please a tiger, but it will
put cat to fight.-London Spectator.

A Cavalry Charge.

In cavalry charge, especially when
the firing is at long range, it is prac-
tically impossible for the enemy to
aim at so small figure as a human
being with any certain chance of hit
ting him. And so, the horse present
ing the larger target, the list Of casual
ties among horses. under the circum-
stances, is naturally greater than
among men. AT Talavera 800 horses
were killed and 24O men, while at the
famous charge of the Light brigade
at Balalllava the losses among horses
were $50 and among men $50.

A Lesson In politeness.

When AlonZo B. Cornell was govern
or of New York, he had clerk so I'M
gracious in manner that he frequently
remained seated while callers at the
capitol We're obliged to remain stand
ing as they attempted to transact bust
ness with him. One day a delegation
came from a city in the western part
of the state to plead for the life of a
condemned man. The governor was
seldom known to grant a pardon, but
the visitors hoped, at least, that they
would be accorded a proper hearing.
After the clerk had kept them waiting
for two hours in the outer hallway he
admitted them and accorded them per.
mission to state their case to the gov.
ernor, all standing. The executive re.
fused to interfere and told his visitors
so.
The spokesman Of the little party
was Grover Cleveland, then a Buffalo
attorney. In one year after the trip re-
ferred to he was himself elected gov
ernor of the state. When he visited the
executive chamber few days there.
after, Governor Cornell showed him
over the apartments and inquired if
there was anything he wished to have
done in advance of his Inauguration.
There is just one thing you can dc
for me, if you WILL" said Mr.. Cleve-
land, "and that is to remove the clerk
who kept me waiting outside so long
when l was last here. 1t may teach
him a lesson in politeness." The clerk
was removed.-Success.

by the exchange of views which has
occurred among the powers but II was
not until Wednesday that they felt JUS
titled in making known the following
important developments which have
taken place:
The powers have agreed that 1t
would be injudicious to insist upon de-
mands which China would be com
PEELED to reject and which would
make necessary renewal Of military
operations.
Under instructions issued by the
Governments the Ministers at Peltin at

TRADE NEWS OF THE WEEK.
Dan & Co. aud Bradstreefs Report that the
Markets Maintain a Satisfactory
Condition

New York (SpeciaD D.-R. G. Dun &

says;
Commercial failures in November
were $50 in number and S12, 2,300,3l6 in
amount Of liabilities, against 78z in

faults were but 1913 in number and So

cerns,' Of which GIT failed for S75O6,-
1858 There were forty other CONNER
cial failures with liabilities Of $910,799.
Four banking and financial companies
defaulted for 1923 900.
AT first glance the November state
ment appears very unsatisfactory, but
1t must be remembered that a few
heavy failures in wool and other tex
tile industries account for a large
share Of the reported Liabilities.
Aside from this one branch of trade,
which has naturally suffered heavily
from the taydy approach OF Winter,
the figures show business to be on
good foundation"
Bradstreet's says:-
Unsettled weather and holidays are
a drawback to retail and jobbing dis
tribution in many markets, but the
general situation is still a most sat
isf2ctory one, and the iron and steel
coal, boot and shoe, hardware and
lumber trades are conspicuously well
situated. The industrial situation is
also deserving of note because Of the
striking absence of complaint as to
idleness or as to pending or future
troubles.

Berlin (By Cable) The Govern
ments curt and decisive intlmatlon
that Emperor William would not be
able to receive Mr.. Kruger has created
profound impression throughout Ger
many, What may be called the anti
British section Of the press does not
conceal its annoyance, and the mod
crate anglophobe organs with difficulty
repress the utterances Of disappOlhJ-
ment.
The inspired journals declare that II
was Germany's desire to intimate deli
nitely that Mr. Kruger's visit would
not be welcome and therefore the fact
that he omitted to comply with the
strict etiquette Of the German court
and deferred asking Emperor William
for an audience Until he had reached
the Belgo-German frontier, was eager
ly seized as a reason for denying him
such an audience. The semi-of1clal
Cologne Gazette puts the matter as
follows:
The question as to whether EN-
peror William would welcome MI
Kruger's visit must be answer ed with
out qualification in the negative. The
reason why such a visit just now can
not be welcomed is plain, for Mr. Rru-
ger intends the requested audience not
only as a mere act Of politeness, but
as an occasion for receiving proofs OF
personal sympathy. Furthermore he
is prosecuting at the same time out
spoken political aims and desires to
induce the rulers of those States which
he visits to abandon the strict neu-
trality they have hitherto found rea-
son to maintain in the war between
Great Britain and the Transvaal
The maintenance Of strict neutral
ity, however, accords with Germany's
interests.
