Mnmen who Wear well.

1t is astonishing how great change a
few years of married life will make in the
appearance and disposition of many wo-
men. The freshness, the charm, the bril-
lance vanish like the bloom from peach
which is rudely handled. The matron is
only dim shadow, faint echo of the
charming maiden. There are two reasons
for this change, ignorance and neglect.
Few young women appreciate the shock
to the system through the change which
comes with marriage Many neglect to
deal with the unpleasant drains which are
often consequent on marriage and mother
hood, not understanding that this secret
drain is robbing the cheek of its freshness
and the form of its fairness. AS surely as
the general health suffers when there is
arrangement of the health of the delicate
womanly organs, so surely when these
organs are established in health the face
and form at once witness to the fact in re.
newed comeliness. Half million women
and more have found health and happiness
in the use of DIR. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip.
ton. 1t makes weak women strong and
sick women well.

SCIENCE SETTINGS.

Saturn's largest moon is 2.O92 miles
in diameter. slightly smaller than oul
own.
Jupiter is one and half times larger
than all the rest of the planets put to-
gether.
In size the sun equals 100000
earths, but owing to it's smaller density
its weight equals only 100000 earths.
Careful scientific investigations show
that the average speed of the transmits
sion of earthquake shocks is nearly 16,-
600 feet per second.
Zinc expands up to the melting point
A bar of hammered zinc six inches long
will expand LOO of an inch in rails

The sun gives 100000 times as much
light as the full moon, 7,000,OO0,OO0
times as much as the brightest star III

Until the early part of the last CEN
fury Milford, Conn, had a house in
which Washington was said to have
spent a night. 1t was in 1889. when
Washington made tour of New Eng
land. Tradition says that there were
certain things about his stay at the
Milford tavern which he did not enjoy.
The supper set before him consisted of
boiled meat and potatoes. He was not
pleased with the meal and asked for a
bowl of bread and milk. The landlord
brought the new order and a broken
pewter spoon with which to eat it.
Have you no better spoons than
this?" asked General Washington.
"It's the best | have in the house.
sir" replied the host.
"Send me the servant" said his ex-
cellency. Heres shillings. Go to the
minister's and borrow silver spoon"
Tradition does not add whether he
got the spoon or not.

SOURCES OF KNOWLEDGE.
You May Learn Something From Ev'
erybOdy YOu Meet.

You May Learn Something From Ev-
erybody You Meet.
One of the most useful success habits
one can form is that of learning some
thing from everybody with whom he
comes in contact. No information which
can be acquired is too trivial to be ig-
nOred.
Constantly measure yourself with the
men you meet. You will find that every
one can teach you something which you
did not know before and which, per-
haps, you would never have chance
10 learn again If you did not acquire 1t
from him.
Daniel Webster once made great
hit in arguing a case before jury by
repeating story which he afterward
said he had not thought of since he
heard it fourteen years before. But
Webster was always picking up some
thing for future USE His famous reply
10 Hayne, the greatest speech ever de-
Iivered on the American continent, was
largely made up of little reserves which
he had picked up here and there In his
reading, from studying men and from
observation.
Many a prominent novelist has col
iected material for his stories by max
ing notes of his conversations with
those he has met and by observation.
Charles Dickens got great deal of the
matter for some of his novels in this
way.
One young man will go to lecture
and after spending an hour listening to
the helpful, inspiring words of some
prominent man will leave the hall or
lecture room without having derived
any benefit from the address. Another
young man will attend the same lee
ture with an ambition to learn some
thing. He will drink In the speaker
sentences as If he were never to hear
such words of encouragement and in
spiration again. At the conclusion OF
the address he will determine that he
will make more of his opportunities In
the future; that he will read more,
think more, study more, be more than
he ever was before. Such young man
has a purpose and is determined to
learn something from everything he
comes in contact with and from every
body he talks to- The other has no am
bition. does not throw himself into
what he does let's his mind wander
hither and thither, so that he never
wholly understands what people are
saying and therefore never derives any
benefit or information from those witt
whom he converses. -Orison SWEET Mar

When Zeb Johnson, Farmer Jones
hired man, came to the end of row
of corn, he took a seat on a stump to
think things over. He realized that
he couldn't CLEAN much consolation
from mere thinking, but crisis was
to be faced.
The evening before, after having
eourted Jennie Taylor, the daughter
of another farmer, for year or more,
he had asked her to marry him and
had been refused. Zeb's counting had
consisted of escorting Jennie to
Fourth of July celebration, circus
and a cornhusking. The intervals had
been filed in by what he called sit
ting around" and declaring to himself
that she was the sweetest and hand
soonest girl in all the world.
There wasn't the slightest doubt In
his mind that he loved her, and he was
equally sure that he was loved In re-
turn. 1t was therefore With feeling
Iof supreme confidence in the success
of his errand that he had dropped into
Taylor's and tried to keep his bushes
back and his feet on the floor as he
said:
"Jennie, l was just thinking that we
ought to get married in the fall.
stOh, you were?' she replied, looking
up at him.
Eyes. couldn't love you any more
If we was to court for five years"
"Who's been courting?'
Eve have, of course, and want to
say
Don't say it," she interrupted. Il
never even suspected you were court
ing. You've been hanging around more
or less, but l supposed you came to
see father"
"But I've been loving you for whole
year and want you for my wife," he
persisted, paling and shutting his feet.
Miss Jennie was darning a hole in
the heel of one of her fathers socks.
She stopped her work as she said seri-
ously:
"Zeb, couldn't marry a farmer. If
/ can't find my ideal. | shall never
marry at all. I'm somewhat romantic,
you know, and I'd be perfectly miser-
able If | married a plodder."
do you mean that you want to mar
ry some dude of Teller" asked Zeb.
who had never heard of ideals or rO-
nance.

Softening Water.

IL the hardness of the water is only
temporary and due to the lime in the
fresh plaster you can adopt the plan
used by engineers who wish to soften
the supply Of water used by town.
This is done by adding to the water
In the cistern, the object being to rid
the water of the excess of carbon diox-
ide which holds the carbonate of lime
present In the water In solution. The
lime combines with the carbon diox
ide to form chalk. and the carbon diox-
lde being removed from the water can
no longer dissolve the carbonate of
lime. and this, together with the chalk
formed, is thrown down. About one.
tenth part clear lime water is used
Rolling will soften and rid the water
of temporary hardness. but this Is a
more tedious process than using the
lime.
