Reflections of a Bachelor.

A woman who hasn't got a family doc
tor never feels that her social position is
secure.
The man who saves money began yes
terday; the man who doesn't is going 10

Specializing in Wall Street is easier
than gambling with matrimony, but it
isn't any more profitable.
You can get interested in some people
without caring for them the way you can
get interested in a mustard plaster WITH
out liking it.
The last argument of a woman is sud-
denly to veer around and take your side
of it, declaring you have come around to
her side.-New York Press

Maine club women will go to Los An

Grafton of WOmens Clubs, May Is
The strong ties that bind Maine and
California together are indicated by
the announcement that the Pine Tree
State association of Los Angeles is to
keep open house during the week in
honor of the Maine delegates. Con-
corning this, Mrs. Florence Collins
Porter. an ex-president of the Maine
Federation, now living in Los Angeles,
writes as follows: 1.-The purpose is two
fold; first, to do especial favor to the
delegates from the old Pine Tree State
and visiting club women from other
states who are natives of Maine, and,
second, to draw into closer acquaint-
ance the former sons and daughters of
Maine who are now residents of Los
Angeles, or of the surrounding cities
and towns. Mrs. d. G.. Stevens has
generously offered to the association
for the proposed headquarters the use
of her beautiful and commodious home
at the corner of 9Th and Olive streets.
This is only three and one-haIf blocks
from the Simpson auditorium where
the meetings will be held, and near the
down town centers. The members of
the hospitality committee will cordially
receive all visitors here. The invitation
is not confined to clubwomen alone. but
is also extended to all former residents
of Maine, both men and women, who
are in Los Angeles at the time. 1t is
hoped that this plan may be the means
of bringing many friends together in
reunions"

Falcons In Japan.

In the olden times in Japan all the
daimios similar to the old English
lord) had great sport with falcons, as
they went out to the field to catch other
birds with falcons The falcons were
tanned well and used to catch large
birds, mostly cranes. When people now
SO out hunting with falcons, the men
In charge hold them upon their fin
gers. AS soon as one sees any bird
he lets the falcon rush at the bird; as
soon as the falcon reaches the bird he
bites at the throat and throws the bird
down to the ground. Meanwhile the
holder runs to the place where they are
and catches both of them.
Falcons are not large birds; but, as
they belong to the eagle family, they
are strong and brave and never afraid
to go at any bird to kill it. but the men
ip charge of falcons of course take
great care in feeding and tanning them.

ness which is not healthy. The utterly
worn out feeling experienced by so
many woniea is not due as rule to
the physical exhaustion of labor, but to
the draining away of the strength by
womanly diseases. Nervousness, head
ache, backache, and sleeplessness are
but few of the common results of such
diseased condition. Yet thousands of
women suffer from wonanly diseases for
years and make little or no effort to
effect cure. They treat womanly dis
ease as if it was purely local thing, and
only wake up to the disastrous effect of
the disease upon the general health,
when there is an utter break down, fol-
lowed perhaps by years of painful ILL
ness.

disease can almost surely be cured by
the use of DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescr1p-
