WHAT Man OF FoRTY-FIvE
OUGHT TO KNow.-By Sylvanus Stall,
ID. D., Vir Publishing Co., 1874 Real
Estate Trust Building, Phi ladelphia,
2S4 PIP. Price 81. 1t has been aptly
said that man at forty-iive is either
fool or a physician. In the earlier
books of this Self and Sex Series, the
author, Sylvsnus Stall, D. D., associate
editor of the Lutheran Observer, has
sought to save young boys, young men
and young husbands from mistakes
which can only be avoided by intelli.
gence, Few men know that great
physical changes await them at middle
life. Perhaps it may be truthfully said
that men OF forty-fve are as ignorant
OF the nature of the changes through
which they are passing as boys at the
period of adolescence. In this book,
De- Stall, in that honest, frank and
fearless, but pure and matchless way
which distinguishes the earlier books
Of the series, sets forth the character
of the changes which occur tn the
physical life of both men and women.
| A blessing would it be to the world, if
every family could have this series of
book for frequent study.

nervous, anxious, sleepless and gener-
ally miserable, her child will be weak
and fretful.
How reasonable this is. The child
can have no strength which the mother
does not give it, and how can the weak
mother, who has not enough strength
for herself have anything TO spare for
her babe?
THE FAIRY GOD-MOTHER
Is very pretty invention. But the real
fairy god-mother is the natural mother
of the child. 1t is she who must endow
her child with health from which
springs all other endowments desirable
for humanity.
The way TO have healthy children is
to be healthy. But how to be healthy
Is the vexing question for women. Is
the mother TO blame because she is nerv-
Gus, because her appetite fails and her
strength wanes, because she is sleepless
and Respondent? One cannot blame the
woman whose only failing is that she does
not know how TO change her condition.
Yet a womans health is practically in
her own control. II she is weak she can
be made strong. If she is sick she can
be made well. The experience of other
women shows that the rose of mother
hood can be stripped of its thorns by the

DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is a
perfect medicine for women. 1t estab-
fishes regularity, dries the drains which
weaken women, heals inflammation and
cures female weakness. 1t is the best
preparative for maternity, strengthening

inducing refreshing sleep. 1t gives the
mother strength to give her child and
make the baby's advent practically pain

DON'T BE TOO AMBITIOUS.
by Mrs. Barbara Sadler.

Don't try to do too much No better
advice than this can he given any young
hOusckCcper, or even to an old houe,
keeper who gets Mustered when she has
company to dinner or even afternoon
callers The woman who lives humbly
and is satisfied with the cooking of a
simple repast six days in n week will
hardly jump into the preparation of
siN-course dinner and not make a bun
gle of it.
Keep down the bill to a number of
dishes that you know you can cook and
cook well and YOU and your friends will
be all the better satisfied with the re-
past
The trying to do too much has ruined
many a dinner that would otherwise
have been most enjoyable. 1t is only
from small beginnings that we reach
the banquet stage of existence. A sim
pie soup, fish, roast or cntree with dcs-
sert is enough for any ordinary occasion
and that can be prepared on any ordi-
nary range with comfort.
Again let me suggest, never try cX
periments on your guests. Cook for
company only those things that you
know you can prepare well. Experiment
when alone and when you are sure you
have the proper combination you can
surprise your friends | give below
some dishes you will find desirable.

existed in the State, but four-War-

How there ever came to be cores at
all would be too long story to tell in
this article. In short, they were usu-
ally grants of unoccupied land made to
reward the heroes Of the "Beech Seal"
period of Vermont history, or were
grants made to towns to make up the

and the real area as ascertained by sur

The Changeling Child.
The Scientific Explanation of
the Change Formerly At
tributed to the Fairies.

In folk lore stories there is frequent
mention of changelings - children who
were changed by fairy influence. Some
loving wife and proud husband found
their child weak of body, and some
times weak of mind 1t grew up to
be fretful, sullen and perhaps spiteful:
It seemed impossible that love could
bring such child into the world.
So the child was called fairy change
ling, a child substituted by the fairies
for one whom in their envy for its lovli-
ness they had carried away.
We hear no more of fairy stories.
Stern science says that healthy and
lovely children must have healthy par
ents, and that when the mother in her
days of waiting and anticipation is

Whereas, Mary E Harrington of North

fused and neglected so to do; and praying that
for the causes aforesaid the court grant her a
divorce from the said Park j. Harrington
and also praying for alimony and custody of
minor child.
And, whereas it is made to appear that the
said Park j. Harrington resides without the

tunity to make defence therein, and summon
