MOTHERS FRIEND

makes childbirth easy by preparing the
system for parturition and thus shortening
labor. The painful ordeal is robbed of its
terrors, and the danger lessened to both
mother and child; the time of confinement
is shortened, the mother rested, and child
fully developed, strong and healthy.
Morning sickness, or nausea arising
from pregnancy, is prevented by its use
As pregnancy advances, the breasts en-
large, become swollen and hard. Long
before the child is born, they are prepar
ing for the secretion of milk. 1t is import.
ant that they receive early attention.
Mothers Friend softens the skin and
facilitates the secretion of Life Fluid.
Undeveloped breasts, hard-caked shortly
after delivery, are the result of non.
treatment, and likely to eliminate in
Mammary Abscess, from which so many
suffer excruciating pain and are left with
these organs permanently impaired.
Softness pliabi1ity and expansion are given to
the muscles and sinews, thus bringing comfort
and causing an easy issue of the child. Try it,

VIEWS OF BRADSTREET'S.

Crop Prospects Brilliant and BUSH
ness Heavy, but Labor Troubles
Very Depressing.
New York. June 6.-Bradsreet's to-
morrow will say:
Crop prospects, taken as a whole, are
really brilliant, railroad earnings are
enormous despite the small grain ton
mage, bank clearings are quite heavy
Notwithstanding the speculative dull
ness, and failures are fewer in num-
Der than in recently preceding years.
The ending of the Boer war, it is also
thought, viii have a tendency to slim
ulate export business in manufactures,
though interfering with trade in
horses, mules and other articles of ex-
port On the other hand, the industrial
situation, though improved by the
ending of blast furnace and Transfers
strikes, is still a depressing one, ow-
ing to the prospect of the anthracite
coal strike proving a long and bitter
one, threats of a strike in the Virginia
bituminous fields and the general un-
rest noted among workers in num-
Der of indutries.
Corn and cotton crop reports are
positively excellent. and in striking
contrast with a year ago. Winter
wheat is turning out better than eX-
pected in such states as Kansas,
though rains have interfered with har-
vesting in Oklahoma. Fruit crops
promise to be very large and favorable
reflection of this is already noted in
sugar price. which are frmer.
Warmer weather has stimulated
recorder business in dry goods, rather
more activity being noted by jobbers.
the delivery of which is impossible this
year A large volume of new business
is also reported in this line. Steel bars
are reported stronger Agricultural
implement men have placed most OF
their orders in finished products year
in advance and re now bidding freely
of pig iron for next years delivery.
The nominal price for steel plates will
not be advanced.
Business failures number 1913, as
against 1853 last year.

MUNIMIFIED CATTLE.
Herd of 10000 Died and Dried Up
in the Desert.
From the Washington Post.

From the Washington Post.
I'm crossing the Colorado desert In
Arizona one sees a frightful monument
to the folly of a man who thought that
he could drive cattle across the desert
with such speed that water would be
unnecessary" said Mr.. S. T.. James,
of San Francisco, at the New Willard
Hotel. More than 20, 900 carcasses lie
at The Pools in that desert and remind
all travellers of the gigantic scheme to
drive cattle through a desert country
without making any provision for wa
ter. 1t was 80 years ago that an ex-
tensive cattleman, who was not famil-
lar with the great desert of the South
west, thought it would be no barrier to
his plan of taking cattle across ii from
the West into the grazing country.
When the cattle reached The Pools,
which are small lakes of four alkali
water, they were so crazed by thirst
that they killed each other in their at
tempt to get at the water. The air
in that country Is so dry and the sun
so hot that carcasses dry up instead of
decomposing. AS one approaches that
great herd of dead animals the car
casses look as though they were poor
ly fed cattle. The hair has not fallen
from the carcasses, and they have
maintained their original shape so well
that that a man who is not familiar
with the desert country might easily
mistake them for live beasts until he
made close examination"

KITTENS IN HER $3.50 BONNET.
Tnbby Slowed Away in Girls Trunk
and Took a Summer Trip.

and Took a Summer Trip.
From the Philadelphia North Ameri-
can.
Williamsport, Pa, June 3.-When it
comes to progressive cats, the village
of Milton, Pa, thinks it possesses
most of the prize winners. One of
the most progressive took a trip out
of town a few days ago, travelling
first class. She went from Milton to
Scranton in a trunk full of gorgeous
summer rain4ent belonging to Miss
Estella Tomlinson, of this city. The
cat was stowaway, for she paid no
fare.
Tabby must have liked the journey,
for she was ensconced between a $50
summer bonnet and a dainty creation
of linen lawn all decked in laces and
ribbons. If that wasn't travelling first
class Milton would like to know what
is. But the journey was not made
without incident. There was only one
cat when it began. At the end a cen
sus disclosed the fact that there were
five.
When Miss Tomlinson arrived in
Scranton her trunk was sent to the
home of friend where she is visiting.
Soon afterward she delved into her
finery. The moment the trunk was
opened out came Tabby, looking quite
content. She purred her satisfaction
at the berth with which she had been
provided for the trip; also the birth
she had provided herself
But Miss Tomlinson didn't know
what the latter part of the purring
was all about till she went to take
out her fine bonnet. Then she made
tie discovery. In the queer little
crown she found four soft things, all
fur and no eyes They We're the
property of Tabby.
Born en- route in the crown of a $50
bonnet is the record Miss Tomlinson
has made of them. incidentally she
served dispossess notice on Tab
by's family.

Fleming, in an interview, comedies to
Hardwick a majority in the convention,
but says he is gratifed at having re-
ceived a popular majority of between
one and two thousand votes in the dis
trict and four-fifths of the Democratic
votes. He expresses the hope that
since the populists in the district have
sacrificed him to their bitterness
against Augusta they will let this sacri-
fee suffice and have harmony in fu-
ture. He says he will return to
Washington at once and resume his
law practice at the close of the con-
gressional term.

GAME LAW ENFORCED.
Restaurant Keeper at GreenviIIe, S.
c., Must Pay Fine.

Columbia, S. c.. June 6.-The West
ern Carolina Game Association, with
headquarters at Greenville, has the
honor of bringing to justice the first
violator of the game laws who has
been convicted in this state in many
years. The law prohibiting the sale
of quail until 1906 has been flagrantly
violated by hotels and restaurants.
William Serving, the proprietor of a
restaurant in Greenville, was convict
ed before Magistrate McBee of selling
quail and fined. He appealed to the
Court of Sessions and now that court
has confirmed the magistrates fine.
This conviction and punishment may
give heart to sportsmen in other parts
of the state and will have some effect
on the game dealers next winter.

Rad sports in the Good old Times,


From the London Globe
Many of the games which diverted
our forefathers have fallen not only
into desuetude, but into a state of
Oblivion. People have vague ideas
about bull-baiting and cock fighting.
but they know little of the many other
sports which entertained their ances-
tors, and which, by reason of their in
humanity, are not now countenanced
by sportsmen. A writer in Baily' s
Magazine revives the memory of some
of these games. He quotes an adver-
tisement which appeared in 1852 an
nouncing that AT the Kings bear
garden, at 1 O'clock in the afternoon,
will be horse baited to death of a
most vast strength and bigness, being
between Is and 10 hands high" Then
we are told of goose riding" a sport
in which a live goose was tied by the
feet to a high rope stretched across
the course. where men rode at gallop
goose as they raced underneath it. Pig
hunting consisted in turning loose a
pig with tail cut short and well soap
ed, and then giving chase, the winner
being that man who could lay firm
hold of the difficult tail and keep the
pig prisoner. Cock throwing was a
game where the unfortunate rooster,
tethered by one leg to the ground, was
made the target for broomstic
thrown from a distance of twenty-five
yards. The article gives other in
stances. and it should be read by hui
manitarians as a pleasant testimony
to the steady civilizatio of our popu-
lar English pastimes.
