which weaken women, heals infiamma-
ton and liberation, and cures female
weakness. II is the best preparative for
maternity-tranquilizi the nerves, en-
couraging the appetite and inducing
refreshing sleep. It cures the nausea
experienced by many women who antici-
pate maternity. 1t increases the physi-
is approached without anxiety, and the
baby's advent is made practically pain
less.

THE HOUSES OF MEXICO.
SoIidIy Built c{ ArsoG .r AdObes and
But LittI- y. JO~ Is Used i'm
ANY of Them.

There is a minimum of wood used
for house construction in the cities of
Mexico, and there is absolutely nothing
to burn except what furnishings the
houses may contain, says Arboriculture
The walls are solidly built of stone and
brick, or, in the less costly structures,
of adobes, which are thickly plastered
inside and out with mortar or stucco.
The floors are of brick, stone or tiles,
while the roofs are of brick, laid in
mortar, or, in some cities, of semi-cyl-
indrical clay tiles. Many roofs are
ached with brick, laid fiat, not on edge,
and it is marvellous how slight a curve
is given some of these arches. Yet they
support heavy weights and have lasted
through centuries.
Flat roof are supported by 6x6-inch
hewn pine joists, placed eight inches
apart. These joists are often 20 feet
in length. The doors are heavy, hang
ing Upon ornamented wrought strap
hinges, and secured by strong, hand
made locks, which have remarkably
large, complicated keys. Practically
the only wood used in construction are
the doors and joists which support the
roof. The church roofs are invariably
Of brick arches, usually several arches
in each. There are no such fire traps in
Mexico as those mansard roofs of
French and American cities, or the frail
dwellings of China, or the universal
wooden structures which have made
fire insurance so great a burden in the
United States, and which cause so great
and continuous expenditures for fire
protection.

RATTLERS DONE IN STONE.
VenOmOus Reptiles Clearly Outlined
in Tracery on indianapolis
Federal Building.

One of the plinths in the north front
OF the new federal building promises
i'll for the peace of mind of the in
veterate topper, for on its surface in a
delicate tracery is apparently the out
line of many rattlesnakes, says the In
dianapolis News. An old stone man
from the Bedford quarries called at
tention to the freak several days ago
and said that such markings were very
unusual.
According to his story these snakes
existed many years ago, in prehistoric
times, back in the era when the pl0's
for fairy stories were laid. P0ssihlv
these snakes were cod, accord lg to
his story, anyway the cooled e,osei
to one another and in th2t t1rm ,rere
petrif1ed and were gradually turAeG
into stone. The stone expert also
pointed cut where tho r les Ct the
snake may be seen pl My,
One of The r"ost pec"'iar features of
the stone is tie fact that the tracery
shows most plainly during damp
weathcr, and if it were on the south
side OF The building, it is said, the sun
would soon bleach its delicate tracery
until it would be no longer discernible.
On account of it's present situation the
sun seldom reaches it, but when it does
the outlines of the snakes completely
disappear.
