LOVE DIES.

Mrs. Ella Wheeler Wilcox says there
comes time in the course of married love
when "the thrill goes out Of the hand
clasp and the kiss at times, and it is then
that husband and wife may be susceptible
to other magnetic personalities" The rea-
son for this condition Of affairs is often the
fault Of the husband, but how often is it
not due to the wife's nervousness and irri-
liability due to some trouble with the or
gans peculiarly feminine-the wife under
such circumstances feels languid aud spir-
itless-she suffers perhaps from headache
and sleeplessness.
Backed up by over third of century
of remarkable and uniform cures, a record
such as no other remedy for the diseases
and weaknesses peculiar to women ever
attained, the proprietors of DR.. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription now feel fully war
ranted in offering to pay $500 in legal
money of the United States, for any case
of Leucorrhea, Female Weakness, Prolap-
sus, or Falling of Womb, which they can
not cure. All they ask is a fair and rea-
sonable trial of their means of cure.
A great deal of sickness may be saved by
keeping on hand copy of DR.. Pierce's
thousand page illustrated book, uThe Com

W THANKSGIVING and Fourth Of
July are in the same class on
v i United States battleships. Both
are holidays for the jackies.
Both are celebrated with games and
sports. Turkey and cranberry sauce
are the only things which differentiate
the last Thursday in November from
the United States seaman's Fourth Of
July, when all the men In the navy put
on their Sunday clothes, have a big
feast and are not compelled to work.

The government makes no special al

but the men look after that themselves.
Each mess provides a spread which is
usually served on tables which are dec

the earth where the boys happen to
have their Thanksgiving celebration.
Plum duff, turkey and mince pie are
called upon to supply a Thanksgiving
atmosphere to the greatest feast of the
year in the navy.
Even on Thanksgiving day the men
on board battleships are not supposed
to have any liquor, but skillful SNUG
Cling frequently adds the necessary
brandy to the sailors spread. Twenty
years ago one of the United States bat

Lips Betray a woman's Nature.

A certain learned man gave simple
rules for the choosing of a wife, and
babe young lovers beware of a girl
whose lips dropped at the corners, as
such would probably make home any,
thing but happy place.
At the same time, he advised the in.
tending husband to remember that up
ward curving lips indicated friyolity
SO that here, too, he would need to be
careful, while lips which are very thin
and quite straight usually belong to a
woman who is a shrew.
A selfish, morbid and dominating
woman frequently has a long, thin
mouth, with clear-cut, firm lips, while
the cruel woman as often as not boasts
lips which are unusually red.
A large and well-closed mouth in
dicates sagacity, while a chin which Is
firm and rounded generally associates
itself with determination and strength

How Thanksgiving Day Is Observed
In the Foreign Legations.
Our American feast is observed in
the foreign legations at Washington by
customs peculiar to the mother coun-
try, and the dishes known in the STA
theirs house" are most in evidence,
even though the American fowl has it's
place. Sir Henry Mortimer Durand pre-
sides at the feast in the household of
the British embassy and gathers about
him coterie of friends. Here the GUS
one adopted bear a resemblance, and
the day is observed without a marked
change In their mode of living.
But in the legations of the japanese,
the Korean and the South American
the conformity to American observ-
ances, induced by the markets abound
ing in American foods, means decid-
ed change on the menu cards, and yet
with but few exceptions the diplomats
and attaches make an effort to observe
the customs in our country.
The Chinese form an exception, for in
several instances the presiding genius
of the Chinese kitchen has refused to
become enthused into any flights Of
astronomical idealisms by Thanksgiv-
ing or any other Christian feast. Yet
the spread made on that day is of true
Celestial magnificence. And when the
meal is over, with it's varied dishes, the
Chinese minister and his close at
taches, no doubt, adjourn to the smok-
ing room with their pipes and hop dol

China, and China is like heaven."-Ina
