MOTHER OF THE FAMILY.
The anxious mother of the family oft

HXAI the crown or anticipates
~ W this coronation, when
there is a lack of womanly
strength to bear the bur-
deus of maternal dignity and duty.
And how few women come to this critical
time with adequate strength. The rea-
son why so many women sink under the
strain Of motherhood is because they are
unprepared- Is preparation then re-
quired for motherhood asks the young
woman. And every experienced mother
answers-rYes.D III unhesitatingly adj
wise expectant mothers to use Doctor
Pierce's Favorite Prescription" writes
Mrs. Stephens. The reason for this
advice is that DR.. Pierce's Favorite Pre-
scription is the best preparative for the
maternal function. No matter how
healthy and strong a woman may be,
she cannot use rFavoritc Prescription
as a preparative for maternity without
gain OF health and comfort. But it is
the women who are not strong who best
appreciate the great benefits received
from the use of uFavorite Prescription. y
For one thing its use makes the baby's
advent practically painless. 1t has in
many cases reduced days of suffering to
a few brief hours. 1t has changed the
period of anxiety and struggle into q
time of ease and comfort
ALCOHOLIC ToNIcs.
A great many women feeling the need
of a tonic take a cocktail, whisky, OF
what is Just as bad, some widely adver.
tised tonics or compounds which contain
a large percentage Of alcohol. Doctor
Pierce's medicines are guaranteed to be
entirely free from alcohol or narcotics
made Of roots and herbs which cannot
harm the most delicate system but have
a wholesome, life giving, tonic effeci
upon the system. Tonics made largely
Of alcohol interfere with the digestion
of certain foods, and as doses increass
the alcohol absorbed gets into the blood

man of 80 and was born in Am.

disuse soon forgot his native

STRANGELY HATEFUL DEATH
Stunned Elevators All His Life ONLY
to Fall Down Stairs and
Break His Neck.

There died in Philadelphia few
days ago a man who entertained
an aversion to elevators which
lasted till his death. Although
his business often required him to
frequent certain tall, modern
buildings, he always carefully
avoided the elevators. and labori-
Ously climbed one flight of stairs
after another rather than risk his
life in one Of those ',infernal death
traps" as he called them. This
man had a mind Of more than or
binary intelligence, and he was
prosperous in his business. vet no
amount of argument could induce
him 10 forcgo his ludicrous whim.
The manner of this mans death
was strangely fateful. In walk
ing downstairs in one Of the sky
scrapers on Chestnut street he
slipped and fell. breaking his
neck. This happened between the
seventh and eighth stories and the
elevator bore the body down to
the first floor. This was the only
time he had ridden in the elevator
and then he couldn't help himself

There are some very curious
men in this world. This is 10y no
means an original idea; it is called
forth at this minute by curious
gift that Il member Of the sterner
sex gave to what in old times
would have been called his flame
the other day, says the Baltimore
News.
The man is a man of IDEAS. He
says he doesn't hold with giving
candy and flowers 10 girls. The
candy, he explains, ruins the com
plexions of the young women and
the yiolets ruin his pocketboolt
Though he doesn't say this, and
so, when he gives at all, he gives
something solid and enduring.
Sometimes these gifts, which are
like angels visits, few and far be
tween, take the form Of Carlyle's
"French Revolution" and some
times they take the form of barry
tone songs (he has a BARITONE
voice., but they have never been
less frivolous until the other day,
when Il box was brought to the
girl who is the happy recipient Of
his attentions. IT was 4 square,
white box. tied with violet rib
bons. and the girl opened il with
the liyeliest anticipations. Itcon-
tanned yi0lets sure enough. Il mon
strous bunch Of the Parma sort,
and the girl was giving ecstatic
cries over them, when something
unnatural in their appearance
caught her eye She looked again
and again. Yes, they were artif-
cial, and they had been sprinkled
with some bad perfume which was
more like new=mOWn hay than VIC
let. but which had evidently been
intended 10 paint the rose. as il
we're. She sat on the bed and
laughed and laughed. Then she
read the note that came with the
blooms. It said: Il do not at all
approve of the extravagant fash
ion young women of the day have
Of wearing Perishable flowers.
but, since it seems quite a fad
now, ] send YOU some lasting
blooms, which YOU may wear
every day from now until summer
time"

eiatiye she hasn't worn her cor

have to be revised if they are made
true to life, says the Baltimore
Herald. Most of the conceptions
are entirely wrong, according to
the statement of a close student
of such things.
IN Selling their prey tigers and
lions almost invariably go for the
throat he says, though in one or
two instances that have come
under my notice of animals killed
by tigers they have evidently first
been hamstrung. These probably
we're victims of young aud inexpe-
rienced tigers. | once saw man
charged and knocked over by a
panther and he only saved his
throat by putting up his arm,
which. as we'll as his shoulder, the
animal grasped with teeth and
claws.
"Anyone who knows anything
about elephants must be aware
that the trunk, and particularly
the tip Of the trunk, is the most
delicate and sensitive part of the
animal and that he shields it from
injury by every possible means in
his power. 1t is, therefore, very
unlikely that he would expose it in
the act of charging. My expe-
rience, limited though it be. points
to the fact that an elephant, once
he has made up his mind to charge,
eurIs up his trunk tight
"Bisons and buffaloes, when
they charge, invariably poke their
noses in the air and commence
running at you with their heads
we'll up. much in the manner of
domestic cattle, and only lower
their horns when within a few
yards of the object of their atten-
tions. This I take to be a mere
matter Of common sense on the
part of the animal, for if he puts
his head down. say even 40 yards
away, he could not possibly see
where he was going.
Bears, when wounded. will
often get on their hind legs and
dance about from sheer rage. and
Will also at times do so in order to
get a better view of the where
abouts of their enemy; but when
they charge whether it be at a
man mounted or on foot, they in
yariably charge on all tours.
In charging most animals give
vent to certain vocal sounds
grunts or roars-and this, it is
natural TO suppose. IS done with a
view to terrifying and demoraliz,
ing the object they are attacking;
in fact, more often than not it is a
mere bluff on the animals part I
have often seen tigers roar when
charging which never really
meant mischief. and which. when
met by bold front. turned off"

Another Radium Wonder.

IN paper just read before the
Royal society it was shown that
when a little radium-which is
now practically unpurchasable in
this eountry-is brought near the
head in the dark there is a sensa-
ton of light produced, which is
due 10 a fluorescence excited in
the lens and retina of the eye. The
fact that fuorescence can be ex-
cited in living tissues is entirely
new. and has already excited the
greatest interest, no one knowing
yet what the consequences of the
fuorescent state may be. 1t is
known that the radium is not seen,
because sight is always accom-.
panied by bleaching of the color
ing matter of the eye, known as
the visual purple, and radium has
no action on this substance.-Lon-
