At Second Hand.

A Highland laird who could not nf,
ford to keep his own piper was accus-
toned to employ the village piper when
he had company.
On one occasion, through some over
sight, Donald had not been given his
preliminary glass Of whisky before he
began his performance. Accordingly,
he found his bagpipe in most refrac-
tory temper. The laird asked him what
was the matter with 1t, and Donald re-
piled that the leather was SO hard that
he could do nothing with it,
"What will soften it2" asked the anx-
ious laird.
"Och, just whuskyw said Donald.
A tumbler of whisky was at once
brought, which Donald Immediately
drank.
"You rascalr' said the laird. ibid
you not say 1t was for the bagpipes?"
"Och, yess, yess," said Donald, "but
she will be ferry peculiar pipes this.

AFTER BABY COMES.
The Disappointment of a
Weak Mother.

After the baby's coming the weak
mother often has her first great disap.
pointment in not being able to nurse her
child. Perhaps she is not strong enough
to sustain more than ber own life during
the days of slow convalescence. Perhaps
there is lack of the secretions which
make the baby's food. In any case she
feels robbed Of half the Joy OF her ma
ternity because she cannot nurse her
child. And she envies the healthy
woman who cares for il and who per-
mits the mother to occasionally see and
caress her own baby. II women would
consider the matter they could hardly
expect to be strong after the baby's
coming If they we're weak before. The
woman who suffers during the prenatal
period-who is nervous and sleepless
and without appetite, u exhausting her

Mea.urins the Hent of the BODY

BY means of an ingenious instrument
invented by Dr. Lombard of New York
1t is ascertained that a woman's body
is warmer than that Of man by about
three-fourths Of a degree and some
times as high as one degree, while In
no instance has the warmth Of mans
body been found to be greater than
that of female. 1t Is also definitely
ascertained that children are decidedly
warmer than adults, the difference be-
ing about degree r., the younger the
child the greater the diversity. A diff
ference in the heat Of the sides of the
body is discovered to be an invariable
law. The left side of the head and ex-
tending downward to the base Of the
neck Is much hotter than the right side.

CnlIQIeL, ana nave Deen as
high as eight days in the doctors hands,
and never less than two days at any time
until the last. Then / had used two
bottles of DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip-
ton and was only two hours in the hands
of the doctor.n
REALLY WONDERFUL. RESULTS.
Read the letter of Mrs. Rose carefully
and you will realize why she cannot
praise Favorite Prescription" too highly.
The difference between one hundred and
ninety two hours suffering reduced to
two hours by the use of cFavorite Pre-
scription" explains her gratitude, but
cannot express it. 1t takes a woman
and a mother to understand all that can
be possible in one hundred and ninety
two hours of suffering at maternity.
DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription not
only gives the mother strength in the
period of waiting, but it cures or pre-
vents nausea, and makes the babys
advent practically painless. 1t is the
best tonic and nervine for nursing moth
ers. 1t promotes the secretion of an
abundance of nourishment for the child
while giving strength to the mother.
All alcoholic and stimulating medicines
are particularly dangerous to nursing
mothers, or in the period Of convalesence
which follows the baby's birth. VA
vorite Prescription contains no alcohol,
and is entirely free from opium, cocaine
and all other narcotics. 1t is a real
nerve-feeding, bodybuilding medicine.

THE MISSING AUGUSTUS.

His Fate Was Doubtful, out No One
4. Was Worrying Over 1t.
About mile below Mississippi City
we met colored man on the highway
who asked IL we had seen q colored
boy about years old as we came
along. Upon our replying in the mega.
tive he scratched his head and looked
puzzled and said:
dat Augustus was playin round
bout an hour ago, an whar he has dun
disappeared to is mo- dan l kin tell.
Reckon it's no use to worry"
He walked beside us till he came to
his cabin, which was situated on the
edge of bayou, and on the shore of
the bayou lay four or five alligators
basking in the sun.
Don't alligators ever eat children?"
queried the colonel after a look at the
reptiles.
"Yes, sab. dey does"
'"Then they might have eaten youy
Augustus"
Eyes, sab, so dey might. Hi dar,
Linda"
His wife came to the door in answer
to his call, and he said:
"Linda, mebbe dem gators got Au.

"Mebbe dey has," she replied.

REVOLVER WOUNDS.
More Dan nEerous, For Many Reasons,
Than Those of the Rife.

More Dan Eorous, For Many Reasons,
Than Those of the Rife.
Wounds in civil life differ from those
in military life In the greater after dan
ger Of septic involvement. Revolver
cartridges are more liable than are
rife cartridges to have been handled
frequently, to have been carried in
dirty pockets and to have come In con-
tact with various forms of infectious
materials that may prove of serious
consequence when buried in the tis-
sues. Moreover, revolver cartridges
are covered with a coating of grease,
nnd this encourages an accumulation
of manifold microbic material, some Of
which may prove to be Of virulently
infectious nature.
Rife bullets are practically always
Bterilized by the intense heat developed
by the powder Mt the moment Of their
discharge. Their rapid progress through
the air while in a heated condition still
further serves to cleanse them of any
extraneous material that may chance
to have accumulated on their surfaces.
This cleansing process is very effectu-
ally begun by the rifllng Of the rifle
barrel through which the bullet forces
its way.
All these favorable factors are lack
ing In the ease Of the revolver bullet,
and so it is possible that In any given
case such bullet may carry infectious
material with 1t into the tissues. If
this were in small amount, nature
might effectually wall 1t off and no Sc.
rious consequences result. On the 9th
er hand, such infectious material might
lie seemingly dormant for days, but
really slowly gathering strength by
multiplication. and when its toxins
were elaborated in sufficient amount
they might paralyze protective chemo
taxis and produce septic condition.
