The Young American Girl.
HOW BEST TO PRESERVE HER GOOD
LOOKS.

THE young girl just poisoning
into maidenhood, on that pc
culiar border line between
maidenhood and womanhood, should
have every care. Parents are often
to blame for endangering their
daughters health by allowing them
to overwork, allowing them to attend
parties and other places of amuse-
ment, and the indulgence OF other
habits which tend to excite the nerv-
Gus system. There should be good
understanding both on the parents
part and that of the young girl, and
we can heartily recommend book
called the Common Sense Medical
Adviser" edited and published by
DR.. R. V. Pierce, at Buffalo, N. Y,
which can be obtained by sending 81
one-cent stamps for the cloth-bould,
or FL one-cent stamps for copy of
the paper edition, which will be sert
by express or mail. The young girl
and the young woman at this time in
her life is weighted down by period
ical disabilities which become hard to
bear. What is needed is tonic for
the womanly system. Something
over third of century ago, DIR. K.
V. Pierce, the specialist in woman's
diseases, of the Invalids' Hotel and
Surgical Institute, at Buffalo, N. Y,
hit upon certain roots, herbs and
banks, which, made into a liquid
tonic, gave relief and strength to the
womanly system. During the past
tfirty-six years this vegetable COM
pound has sold more largely than
any other medicine intended only for
woman's diseases. 1t is called DR..
Pierce's Favorite Prescription. Few
women in the United States have not
heard of its splendid remedial quail
titles, for it is Prescription that can
always be depended upon when
women suffer.
Cupid has no place in a girls heart
If she is nervous and irritable, feels
dragged down, worn out for no rea-
son that she can think of. In such
cases the body is not sound. The
nervousness and other symptoms are
telegraphed all over the body by the
nerves, which is the Geographic sys-
tenn of the human body, because the
weak spot demands attention. The
weak back, dizzy spells and black
circles about the eyes are only symp-
toms. Go to the source of the trou-
BILE and correct the irregularity. Stop
the drains on the womanly system
and the other symptoms will disap-
pear. This can be done easily and
intelligently. So sure of it is the

How the Circulation From Roots to

10 illustrate the modern view Of sap
circulation, which is not thoroughly un-
dcrStOOd, it is necessary to explain
that the chief food OF the plants, con-
ssting OF inorganic salts dissolved in
water is absorbed from the soil by the
roots. The root consists Of hollow
tube or cylinder lined with several
cells, the outer layer OF which contains
certain hnirlke processes.
The water in the soil. containing the
salts III solution, is absorbed by these
root hairs and passes by filtration into
the cells and capillary vessels. The
activity Of these root hairs and the
concentration of fluid i'm the adjacent
cells create what is called root pres
sure and this forces the sap into the
general vascular system of the plant
and un TO its furthcst cXtrcmities, or
leaves.
This root pressure" is further sup

roots. In this way the circulation or

According 10 Demon, locks and KEYS

is inferred from the sculptures on the
great temple of Karnak, which closely

clumsy. massive wooden locks, in which
three pins drop into three holes in the
bolt, when it is pushed in, and are
raised by corresponding fixed pins ON

are found at Mosul, near Nincvch, the
key being more than foot long, quite
clublilie and often carried on the shoul-
hcr.
Keys are also mentioned at the siege
or Troy. l03 B. c. The Phnnicians
are said TO have exchanged locks for
tin from Cornwall. Occasional notices
or them occur in many Greek and Ro-
man writers, Pliny ascribing their in
Vcntion to Thcodorus Of Samos. Bronze
and iron keys have been found in the
ruins Of PomDcii
POSSIBLY far more ancient than these

tumblcrs, some Of them musical, almost
exact countcrpartS OF the famous
Bramah locks Of England in the eight

NEW YORK, March S.-Grover
Cleveland has taken the first steps in
Masonry, and would have been raised
two weeks ago but for the bereave-
ment caused by the death of his
daughter Ruth. 1t is announced in a
dispatch from Trenton that Grand
Master Apgar had arranged to con-
vene the Grand Lodge in Princeton
and give Cleveland three degrees at
one time. This prerogative is seldom
employed by a grand master, and is
done only in special cases.
No night, so far as known, has been
selected for the ceremony There is
no doubt that many of the Grand
Lodge officers of New York will journey
to Princeton on the eventful night that
brings Cleveland into the order. Many

JAPS WILL
SUE EDMUNDS
CASE AGAINST FISH COMPANY
MANGER. NOLLE PRESSED IN
-s--.--
POLICE COURT.

The case of gross cheat against
H. W. 5. Edmunds in the Police court
this morning was nOlle pressed and the
prosecution of the manager of the live
fish company ended. The High Sheriff
stated that he and Judge Cathcart had
decided that no criminal intent in Ed
munds having collected fees from the
Japs could be proven so the case would
be nolle pressed.
The Japanese do not however intend
to drop the matter against Edmunds
and ten of them are now consulting an
attorney with view of bringing a suit
for damages against Edmunds. They
claim that the man illegally took their
oars away from them and prevented
them going out to fish. A number Of
damage suits on this score are likely
to be brought by the Jap fishermen.
1t is stated also that the Japs are
withdrawing from the live fish company
and are refusing to nave any more
dealings with the concern. 1t is their
intention to work independently of the
concern and market their fish as was
done formerly. InasmuCh as there is
no written agreement between Ed
munds and the Japanese fishermen the
probabilities are that if the Japs re-
fuse to have any more dealings with
his COMPANY that the concern will be
left high and dry so far as any CO.
operation from Japanese is concerned.

GEoRGIA's HOPE FOR PEACHES.

GEORGIA'S HOPE FOR PEACHES.
The impression among the fruit grow
ers of this state appears to be that
there will be an abundance of fruit this
year. This impression is particularly
strong among peach growers. 1t is
based upon the belief that there will be
no cold spells of weather after the buds
are in a condition to be hurt by the
cold.
The reason a mild spring is expected
is that the winter has been so cold.
At the North it has been the coolest in
| 40 years. In some of the New England
states a big percentage of the peach
trees has been killed.
The winter in this state has been
colder than the average and has kept
the sap in the peach trees from run
ming and the buds from swelling. TheE1S
have been two or three warm spellsk
but they were of short duration, and,
as far as learned, did not put the trees
in a condition to be injured by sub
sequent cold weather.
In Florida the peach trees are in
bloom. In that state peaches will be
ready for market by the middle of May
The crop is not a large one however,
but the price it brings makes up for
what it lacks in size.
! = Georgia's leach crop, if the season
should be a favorable one will bring
into the state very large amount of
money. The growers at their meeting
! at Port Valley Friday and Saturday,
made some of the necessary prepara-
lions for handling it. The three things
they ought to look after particularly
are the following: Thinning out the
! fruit if the trees should be overburden-
ed, getting rid Of insects by liberal and
intelligent spraying of the trees and
watching the markets so as not to glut
any of them, and thus break down the
price. A peach orchard returns a big
profit on the money invested in it, pro-
vided it is properly cared for and the
crop is handled with judgment.-Sa-
