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 woman's health is practically in
her own control. If she Is weak she can
be made strong. If she is sick she can
be made we'll. The experience of other
women shows that the rose of mother
hood can be stripped of its thorns by the
use of DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription.

BITTER WORDS OF A HEBREW
DR.. Hirsch Asks Why There Are No Pre-
tests Raised for Jews.

Chicago, Jan. 6.--At a meeting IN
behalf Of the movement to resettle the
Hebrew race in Palestine, held in the
Medinah Temple theatre last night.
Rabbit e. G.. Hirsh. who does not go
with the movement, said:
II agree with you that the condition
of 100000 Jews in Russia, Roumania
and Galicia is a blot on civilization
and cries out to heaven for redress.
The world is stirred by accounts Of the
suffering of the women in the concen-
tration camps in South Africa.
mo doubt their condition is bitter,
but the condition Of the Jews In Rus
STA is worse. Yet while voices are
raised in protest to England against
her treatment Of the South African
women no voice is raised in behalf Of
the Jew. Why? Because they are
Jews? What matters it that they suffer
They are Jews. Behind them stand
no guns nor armOred ships. They are
Jews. They have suffered eighteen

OWARFlNG AN OAK TREE.
The japanese Trick by Which 1t Is
Accomplished.

The Japanese Trick by which IL Is
Accomplished.
The Chabo Hiba, dwarf japanese
pine tree, was recently sold for 1,200.
1t is six feet high and alleged to be $50
years old. 1t has long been supposed
that the process by which Japanese
gardeners succeeded in dwarfing forest
trees was long and costly one. 1t is
now said that it is simple process and
that any one can do the trick. The fol-
lowing directions are given for produc-
ing a miniature oak tree:
Take an orange and scoop out the
pulp. Fill the interior with rich mold
and plant an acorn in the center Of 1t,
leaving the hole in the rind for 1t to
sprout through. Put it in sunny place
and water it frequently. Soon after
the first shoots have appeared the roots
begin to break through the orange skin.
Take a sharp knife and shave these of
carefully and keep them shaved. The
tree will grow about five or six inches
high and then STOP. In a year 1t will
be a perfect miniature oak. When the
roots cease to grow, the orange skin
should be vanished over and imbed-
ded In flowerpot.
The Japanese dwarf all kinds Of trees
and make them live to a great age
Some of. these dwarfs, like the Chabc
Hiba, are well known, and their own
ers have documentary evidence attest.
ing their great age. The older they
are the more valuable, of course, they
are. In Japan certain families follow
the calling, trade, art, or what you will
of growing dwarf trees from genera
ton to generation, and you can buy a
miniature oak 500 years old from de-
scendant of the man who first planted
the acorn. Not only forest trees, but
fruit trees and Towering shrubs, are
dwarfed by these clever gardeners.

DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is
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
the nerves, encouraging the appetite and
inducing refreshing sleep. It gives the
mother strength to give her child and
make the baby's advent practically pain
less.

THE WIDOW TAX.
In MindanaO a Wife's Death Costs
the Widower One Hundred Plates.

the Widower One Hundred Plates.
Becoming q widow or widower Is q
much more serious business than get
ting married among some of the tribes
IN the Philippines. In Mindanao mar
rying in haste" often leads to pro-
longed ''repenting at leisure" for they
have an institution there known as the
widow tax"-"chabaloan the natives
call it. Upon the death Of the wife the
widower must pay certain sum OF
money or it's equivalent in goods to his
father-in-law before he can go a-court-
Ing again. AS money is scarce article
among these natives, the tax generally
Is paid in plates Of common "stone CHI
na," which are much used by the ma
tives as a medium of exchange. 1t is
considered the proper thing for the be-
reaved one to pay 100 of these plates to
his father-in-law for permission to look
about him for successor to the de-
ceased helpmate.
If the husband dies, the widow at
once becomes the property Of her par
ents-in-law and so remains for life I'M
less some relative comes forward and
produces the necessary number Of din
ner plates. The natural result of this
is that married people are all extreme
ly solicitous for the health Of each 9TH
er. In sickness the invalid is sedulous-
ly attended by the partner of his or
her joys and sorrows, the well person
perhaps being moved more by the
thought of those hundred plates than
by real affection.
Divorce is unknown among these peo-
pie, but a man may have as many
wives as he pleases. 1t will be seen
that in case of an epidemic which
would sweep away his wives married
man would be in dire extremity. In
the case of death of much married
man his parents come into small for
tune, for they either have enough
slaves to render future work on their
part unnecessary or they receive enough
plates from the families of the widows
to set up crockery store.

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.
1t seemed impossible that love could
bring such a 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.

lovely children must have healthy par
ents, and that when the mother in her
