Health is 4 magnet which irresistibly
draws the man to the woman in life's
mating time. Health does more than
tint the skin with beauty it puts music
into tire voice ard buoyancy into the
step, rs well as happiness into the heart.
A great many women covet beauty and
are constantly seeking aids to beautify
them. Let n woman first seek perfect
health ard all other charms shall b.
added to her.
There can be no general health for
women while there is disease of the
delicate wornanly organism. The first
step to perfect health is to cure womanly
diseases by the use of DR. Pierce's Fa-
vorite Prescription. II establishes regu-
larity, dries weakening drains, heals
inflammation and liberation and cures
female weakness.

ALawsuit Extraordinary.

An inestimably precious collection
of Celtic ornaments of rich gold rests
in the British Museum at this present
moment. says London Black and White.
Whence they came living man knows

,ided We all know that the trustees
Of the British Museum paid 5000 for
them 20 Belfast antiquary. and that
prior to their changing hands they had
been brought TO light by the fortuitous
aid of a plowshare driven by laborer
over the soil of his native Limavaoy.
which is in the northwest of Ireland.
But how they came TO be in a potato
field there. which must have been their
hiding place for something like 1900
years. none can authoritatively tell.
Their destination has to be decided
upon in the law courts. The alterna-
tive is the Royal Irish Academy in
Dublin.
The proceedings were instituted by
he solicitor of the treasury. The law
as rs tredsure-trove was laid down by
Sir Edward Coke: "Treasure-trove is
when any gold or silver in coin, plate,
or bullion nath been of ancient time
hidden. wheresoever it be found
whereof no person can prove any prop
crty." And such treasure belongs to
The crown. But il has to be clearly es-
,ablished that this treasure ever was
hidden. There is possibility of its
having been lost during a battle. or
thrown away in flight. So says the
Museum.

Substitute for Sleep.

A London paper says that the
health of people in fashionable society
is being dangerously threatened BIZ
a new drug which is popularity re.

discreetly it declines to name this
dangerous substance. When tea
was first introduced into Eurcpc il
was commended for the same virtues,
ard it was believed that i: would no
iCnger be necessary to waste seven
or eight hours in sleep. But extent
ed experience has shown the disas-
trous results of cutting short the ne.

A question that arises in the medi.
