BRIDES FOR SOUTH AFRICANS.
Every Oatgoing English steamer
Bound for Cape Town Has q Num-
Der Of Prospective Wives.


Hardly mail steamer leaves England
for Cape Town without bearing on board
an English bride for sweetheart who
has gone before to provide q home in
that land Of promise, says q London dis
patch.
Not tnfreQuently the list of passsn-
gers includes three or four brides, who
|lngenuously confide their secret to each
other with the result that the vessel is
seldom many days at sea before the
bride becomes known all over the ship.
Sailors consider It lucky to have brides
on board.
The bridegrooms meet them at the
landing place, and forthwith they re-
pair to public Office to be married by
special license, while genial Jack Tars
crowd the gangway and throw rice
among the brides hair.
These marriages are mostly happy Sc
quels to the conclusion Of the war, many
Yeoman having decided to settle in
South Africa and bring thither the girls
they had left behind them.
But there have been exceptions. Fir
tations on board-no place equals
ships deck for that pastime-have
brought bitter disappointment to wait
Ing bridegrooms. Sometimes girls get
engaged on the voyage to fellow passen-
gers or members Of the crew, and arrive
1t the Cape "off with the old love and
on with the new"
It has also been recently observed that
young girls are going to South Africa
from England in increasing numbers
as domestic servants in the smaller up
country towns. II they have not calcu-
lated upon the chances Of matrimony.
they are not long in their new home be-
fore offers come along for their selec-
ton.

Women Who wear we'll.

It is astonished how great change q few
years of married life will make In the sp-
pearsnce and disposition of many women.
The freshness, the charm the br1llance van
ish like the bloom from peach which is
rudely handled. The matron Is only a dim
shadow, a faint echo of the charming maid
en-. There are two reasons for this change,
ignorance and neglect. Few young women
appreciate the shock to the system through
the change which comes with marriage.
Many neglect to de with the unpleasant
drains which are often consequent ON mar
riage and motherhood. not understanding
that this secret drain is robbing the cheek
of its freshness and the form of Its fairnesa.
As surely as the general health suffers when
there is arrangement of the health of the
delicate womanly organs. so surely when
these organs are established in health the
face and form at once witness to the fact in
renewed comeliness, Half million women
and more have found health and happiness
in the use of DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip-
ton. 1t makes weak women strong and
sick women well.

He had gone to his work. They

Boys and Cigarettes.

1t must be universally admitted that
the majority of young boys addicted
to cigarettes are generally regarded as
bad boys 1t is an addiction that does
not ally itself with the high virtues Of
manly youth. 1t leads to bad associa-
tions and bad environment. He must
be a strange boy indeed who can derive
moral and physical good from cigar
cites.
Opium is like whiskey--it creates an
increasing appetite that grows with
what it feeds upon. Even pure tobac.
Co has the same effect.
The growing boy who let's tobacco
and opium get hold upon his senses
is never long in coming under the domi-
nation of whiskey, too.
Tobacco is the boys easiest and most
direct road to whiskey. When opium
is added. the young mans chance Of
resisting the combined forces and es
Gaping physical, mental, and moral
harm is slim indeed.
II is a deadly combination In most
cases There are few, if any. cases in
which it is not more or less harmful.
Stomach and nerves and will power
weakened for life is the common re
suit, even though the habits finally be
mastered. .-Kansas City World.
DR.. Blackford, Supt. of the Western
State Hospital, in his annual report
ten years ago, called attention to the
pernicious cigarette smoking habit
undermining the moral, ply ysical. and
mental health of the youth of our
country during the period of growth
and development. This unfortunate
habit leads to cocaine, morph,a and
whiskey habit resulting the physical
ard mental wreck of our youth before
they reach the period of maturity.

Novel Prescription for DysDepsla hy .
Medical Authority.

When the throes of indigestion and
the qualms of dyspepsia are making
your life miserable, just purse the lips
and whistle brisk, merry tune. This
is novel advice contained in the cur
rent issue of Medical Talk.
Not a mufflsd, doleful, half hearted
whistle, but a whistle 30 deep and vol
luminous that the whole house will be
filed with the sound.
Don't be afraid somebody will hear
you; let them hear you; 1t will do them
good; it will enliven and cheer them
while it curee you.
There Is something about q good,
Well rounded whistle that sets the
digestive apparatus to work in more
natural, wholesome manner than all
the pepsin tablets and digestive pills
on the market.
Indigestion and dyspepsia always
make Que feel gloomy and depressed
and morbid and blue. Everything
seems to 20 wrong; and doubtless you
won't feel ons,bit like whistling. But
no matter; whistle anyhow.
If possible. 20 out In the fresh air
and do your ~histling. II you can't
go out of doors. just open the window
wide and whistle with all your might
Any old tuLe will do. SO put your life
aud vigor into it.
Whistle. whis Ie, whistle Keep II
going. Don't get tired 60 on with
all your might. Harder, harder.
The first thing you know the stom-
ach will have righted itself, the liver
will be working good anu strong, the
blood will be bounding through your
veins, your brain will be clear and
vigorous, and you will feel twenty
years younger. All because you have
whistled away the indigestion, the
dyspepsia and the blues.
Whistling 10 one of the best tonics
in the world. 1t is far better to whistle
away all your petty ailments and lit
tie worries and perplexities, q great
deal easier to float them away to the
tune of Nancy Lee, !" or Dolly Gray"
than to sit down and try to drown by
swallowing q lot the doctors nasty,

When the butter won't
come put a penny in the
churn," is an old time dairy
proverb. 1t often seems to
work though no one has ever
told why.
When mothers are worried
because the children do not
gain strength and flesh we
say give them SCOTS Emul-
sion.
It is like the penny in the
milk because it works and
because there is something
astonishing about it.
SCOTS Emulsion is simply
a milk of pure cod liver oil
with some hypophosphites
especially prepared for delicate
stomachs.
Children take to it naturally
because they like the taste
and the remedy takes just as
naturally to the children be-
cause it is SO perfectly adapted
to their wants.
For all weak and pale and
thin children SCOTS Emulsion
is the most satisfactory treat
ment.

A SCIENTISTS BELIEF.
Hindu Investigator Maintains That

"A remarkable discovery" A. Sarath
Kumar Ghosh asserts in Pearson's, in
bis article on Life In Metals, ''that has
recently been made will mark q new
era In the progress of science, for 1t
sweeps away many pet theory we
have hitherto fondly cherished. From
time immemorial scientists have vain
ly asked: What is the quintessence Of

ence between that which is living and
that which is not? By what final test
shall We determine that q certain OBJ
ject Is animate and another inant-
mater
"A suggestion Is now made, which,
to say the least of it, is astounding and
revolutionary. In book recently pub
lished a distinguished Hindu scien-
tist-Jagadis Chunder Bose, professor
Of science in the Calcutta University
Maintains that the true test of life
in an object Is its capacity to respond
to external stimulus; in other words,
its irritability, its sensitiveness And
according to this test he proves con-
clusively that no essential difference
exists between animals and metals; in
fine, that q bar Of iron Is as irritable
and sensitive as the human body! More
than that; he proves that = bar Of
metal can be killed-that ia, deprived
Of its sensitiveness forever-just as
the human body can be killed. He
even shows how our present mistake
has arisen; we have called objects nom
living that are merely dead-that is,
which once were sensitive but are so
