LITTLE WOMEN.

Nature dates womanhood from
the period when the wofnanly func-
ton is first established, so that ma
lures little women are schoolgirls,
shop girls, etc. And therein lies
danger. This period is one of the
most important in woman's life,
the mental effort of study, the phys
ical effort of labor, are doubly ex-
hausting at this season, and coupled
with neglect or ignorance are often
responsible for irregularity and 9TH
er womanly ailments.
DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip-
ton may be relied upon to carry
the woman safely through this
period, as it does through mater
nifty and the later change Of life.

From the Chicago News.
To the people of the occident the Chinese

Ing diplomatic issue on such a question
is by no means as fanciful as ii appears to
western minds.
The urgency of the present demand re-
garding the ancestral tombs at Mukden
can be better understood when it is re-
membered that the entire country surround
ing that city is inseparably associated with
the history of the reigning dynasty and in
Manchu eyes is especially holy. China, as
is well known, is ruled not by Chinese, but
by men of Tartar descent-the Manchus-

the northeastern part of the present en-

to 1859. when leader of his race, Nur-

tribesmen the name of Manchu which
means pure When his tribe overran it's
boundaries in 1914 and waged war upon
the Chinese, it seized and established a
throne at Picking. but it lost nothing of its
traditional reverence for the tombs and

THE MILK-sIcK WOOD.
Deadly Alike to Both Man and
Beast
from the bouisyille Courier-JournaI.

From the Louisville Courier-Journal.
From time to time in the past FIVE
decades Tennesseeans have been stirred to
a profound sense of interest in the states
mysterious malady, milk sickness" as it's
deadly temperance in certain sections of
the state has been followed by fatal results
to human beings and to stock. No one has
ever discovered the cause of the malady
from which death relieves the victim after
such physical agony almost deprives the
human species of the power of speech and
dumb brutes express their sufferings by
frenzied search for water to cool the thirst
which consumes them. Once by a stream,
they plunge or fall into 1t and quickly drink
themselves to death.
The fatal sickness is knokn to limited
extent in several sections of the state, but
exists principally near Sparta, IN White
county. 1t is contracted through drinking
the milk of cows that have eaten cer-
tain weed, known as the "milk-sick weed, '
which looks somewhat like clover, and
grows thickly on the infected land. But
what constitutes the poison in the weed
is no more determined today than It was
when first located by the keen-witted, ma
ture-wise mountaineers, who have been
it's chief victims. 1t has been ascrbed at
various times to minerals whose poison is
absorbed in the roots of the .'milk-sick
plant; to vapor from some fungus
growth, and to the action of the dew
producing, in connection with the life of
the plant, certain poisonous acid. But
all of these theories have failed under
tests applied by practical science. On The
largest infected section known to exist in
the limits of the state "Milk-Sick Noun
tain,' in White county. no mineral what
ever exists; cattle which ate the milk
sick weed after the dew had dried died in
agony just as those who ate 1t when the
dew was fresh and sparkling, and the
stritcest search failed TO find any fungus
growth whatever.

BELL AS A LONDON SIGN.
It's Adoption Due to the English Fond
ness for Bell Ringing.
From st. Nicholas.

From st. Nicholas
The English are a music-loving nation,
and love to hear music even when going
about their daily occupations, and so 1t is
that the spires and towers of her mighty
catbedrals are hung full of glorious bells.
So fond of bell ringing is ''Merrie England
that Handel once said the bell is her ma
tional instrument 1t is not strange, there
fore, that we find this instrument frequent
ly adopted as public sign. From early in
the seventeenth century Bell Inns were
numerous in London. In Knightrider
street there was an old inn, the walls of
which were prefaced with a giant bell
carved in hold relief. The keystone had the
Initials M T. A." and the date 1868. This
fine specimen is now in Guildhall. But a
little step away, in Carter Lane, there was
another Bell Inn, which has the proud
distinction of being the hostelry from which
Richard Quyney wrote, in 1893, to his low

ARIZONA osrR1cHEs DO WELL.
They Are Acclimated and Are Taller
Than the South African Rirds


Than the South African Birds.
From the New York Sun.
A letter received in this city last week
says that the ostrich industry in the Salt
river valley, Arizona, is fast becoming one
OF large commercial Importance. When
the ostrich was introduced from South Afri-
ca eleven years ago, 1t was feared that the
experiment would be failure. The change
OF FOOD and climate did not agree with the
pirds' and very little progress was made
ouring the first years. The business also
IS one that requires experience, and until
those engaged in it had learned everything
worth knowing about ostrich cuItura tbav
made little Roadway.
ABOUT hve years ago the birds had be-
come acclimated, their care was more
thoroughly understood, and they began to
thrive. 1t is believed that they are doing
petter IN the Salt river valley than In South
AFRICA AT any rate the American ostriches
are several inches taller than those of South
AFRICA and their feathers are of somewhat
inner quality. Full grown, they stand
elght feet nigh and weigh 200 pounds The
rich, black, glossy feathers of the male
are Tar superior in quality to the drab plu-
mage of the female, and the feathers
plucked every eight months are sold as
high as $12o pound In the eastern markets
The average yield is a pound of feathers
to the bird.
Over 1000 ostriches are now on the al
falfa pastures in the valley, feeding con-
tentedly on the rich heritage, which makes
them as fat as any ostrich should be- The
climate of the valley seems to be particu-
larly adapted to ostrich raising. These
farms are not far from the city of Phoenix,
and visitors often drive out to them to see
the birds by the hundreds on their pastures.
About fifty of them also are kept on a small
display farm near the city limits for the
benefit of tourists, who regard the birds as
among the sights of the place. This little
farm pays for itself by the sales of plu-
mage to visitors.

unclean hands, the use of upclean, mud
soiled Utensils and clothing and the drink
ing of muddy water are few OF the many
prolific causes of infection. To these may
be add ID generally bad sanitation, an utter
lack of PERSONAL hygiene, density of popuia-
ton, topography favorable to the spread OF
larva by heavy rains and many habits con,
oucive to infection. Few cases are founo
among the better classes, as these people 90
not come in contact with the soil.
Gompers' Statements Eefuted.
The proven conclusions of the commits
sion, and especially of Drs. Ashford and
King. from their previous experiments, alb
sclutely refute the statements of Samuei
Gompers and others. recently published
that the Porto Rican anemia is the anemla
OF starvation. There are few poems IN
Porto Rico who do not have rice, beans,
bapanas, sugar and other products IN
abundance. 1t is peculiar fact that the
negro race is comparatively immune. Ma
lsrial anemia is comparatively rare in Porto
Rico.
If. therefore. the general contentious OF
the commission prove to be absolutely cor
rect, the work of stamping out uncinariasis
in the island will be comparatively easy ana
the effect upon labor, now held within the
grasp of anemia. will be beneficial beyond
calculation. A new life will be infused in mo

prosper as never before because the mass

Faculty of Imitation in Animals.

From the Detroit NeWs-Irfbune.
Some animals have wonderful powers of
imitation. Dogs brought up in the company
of cats have been known to acquire the
trick of licking the paws and then wash
ing the face. When a cat has been taught
to sit up for her food her kittens have been
known to initiate her action. Darwin tells
of a cat that was in the habit of putting
her paw into the mouth of narrow milk
pitcher every time she got the chance and
then licking the cream off her paw Her
kitten soon learned the same trick. lady
tells of rabbit that she keeps in a cage
with monkey, and says that Bunnie has
caught many of the monkeys ways 1t is
said that starving pigeons that have been
brought up on grain will not eat peas to
save their lives, but that If pea-eating
pigeons are put with them they follow their
example and eat peas.
