What the Metric System Is.
Leslie $ Weekly.

Leslie's Weekly.
 The metric system offers the great ad- vantage of being based upon the decimal notation, the same as our currency, and It's terms or denominations are written In the decimal form, the lowest dencm- nation at the right. The system derives It's name from the word meter" the standard unit of length. this unit being fixed as the one ten-millionth part of the distance from the equator to the pole. measured on the surface of the earth a meter being equal to little more than thirty-nine ordinary inches The unit of surface measure is an are" of volume a "stere.' of capacity liter and of weight gram" these terms being de- rived from the Latin and Creek The higher denominations of each table are formed by prefixing to the standard unit the Greek numerals ''deka'' for ten. 'hecto," for hundred. "kilo" Cor one thousand. etc. For submultiples. or low CT denominations. the Latin ordinaIs arc used. 'deci'' for one-tenth, '.ceni,' for one -hundredth. etc. These prefixes fur nish the key to the whole system, since the name at once shows whether the unit is greater or less than the standard unit and how many times greater or less Thus one dekameter denotes ten meters. one ono decimeter denotes one-tenth of meter. These terms and the order being once understood the whole system be- comes clear and easily remembered

 Every mother should take this lesson to heart and protect her daughter from life of pain and agony. She can do this by giv- ing her bottle of Wine of Cardui, ana insisting upon outdoor exercise.
 J. W. Whitehead, of Winchester, Ark, writes of his daughter:
 "My daughter was in bad health and we treated her with several kinds of blood medi- cine but nothing did her any good until we bought six bottles of Wine of Cardui, which did her great deal of good"
 Mrs. Matthew Taylor, of Stanton Depot, Tenn, praises Wine of Cardui for what it did for her daughter She writes:
 "I want to return you thousand thanks for what Wine of Cardui has done for my daughter. She is up and all right. After four months' treatment the doctors had done her no good. She fell in weight from t26 to JOS pounds. Now she weighs more than ever. She is taking Wine of Cardui yet and she has only used six bottles"

 IT T1ssoCIATfNG sunshine with a smile,
 "A happiness, health and life itself, is - no idle comparison. There is no stronger nor more effective health-giving element than sunshine. Men grow strong because they are in the sunlight and pure air more than women. Girls make great mistake in shading their faces from the sun. Nothing is more attractive than bare-headed girl whose face is tanned by the sun and whose hair is blown about by the pure health-giving air. She needs not feel herself less beautiful with her sunlit face than her sister who has grown pale by exposing her face to no stronger ray than the tue gas light of the hall room and social gath cring. Because girls take too little exercise, because too little sunshine strikes their faces and too little fresh air reaches their lungs, they are the helpless prey of female trou- bles. They suffer at the coming Of woman hood when the only reason is that they have not given themselves chance to grow before the coming of women's functions
