WHO CANNOT BE CURED.

Backed up by over a third of CEN
fury 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
DIR. Pierce's Favorite Prescription now
feel fully warranted in offering to pay $500
in legal money of the United States, for
any case of Leucorrhea, Female Weak
ness, Prolapsus, or Falling of Womb
which they cannot cure. All they ask
is a fair and reasonable trial of their
means of cure.

A. western congressman says that
while he and certain friends were
studying the bill of fare In hotel on
the New Jersey coast a mosquito
alighted on the card. 1t instantly lost
its life by quick blow from the man
holding the card, its little carcass re
naming on the bill. With smile the
man pointed to the remains and said
to the waiter:
do you serve these on toast hereY'
They're on the bill, STRIP was the
witty retort of the waiter.

More Hay.

Two clubmen were praising the pluck
Of dogs
"a good dog" said one, "has the
same kind Of pluck that old Jerome
McWade used to show.
HE was farmer seventy years old
but still hale and hearty One morning
he and his two sons got to wrangling
over their strength, and Jerome de-
clared that he could load quite as fast
as they could pitch it.
$50 to the fields they went, and Je.
rome got into a hay wagon with his
fork, and the two boys down below be-
gan to pitch the hay up to him as fast
as they could pitch it.
1.-THE old man stood up to his work
stoutly. He loaded with lightning
speed, and all the while be kept calling
down: More hay! More hayp
'"The boys worked hard. Their youth
told in their favor. Old Jerome got to
loading more and more untidily. Still
as he scrambled about on top of the
uneven mounds he continued to shout,
More hayP
"All Of sudden he tripped as he
dug in his fork and fell from the wagon
to the ground
"'Ah,' said his eldest son, what are
you doing down hereP
Jerome as be rose answered:
I came down for more hay."-

How often those words are on a woman s
lips. They express to the uttermost the
nerve racked condition of the body, which
makes life daily martyrdom.
If this condition had come suddenly it
would have been unbearable. But the
transition was gradual. A little more
strain each day on the nerves. A little
more drain each day of the vitality. ANY
woman would be glad to be rid of such a
condition. Every woman tries to be rid
of it. Thousands of such women have
been cured by DR.. Pierce's treatment with
his "Favorite Prescription" when loca
doctors had entirely failed to cure.
"Favorite Prescription" contains no
opium, cocaine or other narcotic.

The Enrli.hveman.

The American or the French woman
never allows herself to be daunted by
the fact that she has not been en-
dowed by nature with good looks or a
good figure. She dresses as carefully,
carries herself as grandly, as her beau
tiful sisters and indeed assumes rather
more of an air than they, with the
happy result that America and France
seem to have no Ill dressed and no
really plain or ungraceful daughters.
We Englishwomen are too modest and
fancy we are altogether hopeless I'M
less we have good material on which

old Time Dentistry.

In the early days of dentistry a hicko-
~ plug was put into the cavity to fill
the space where a tooth ought to be.
This plug had to be gently pounded into
its desired position. Old Judge Peck
ham was somewhat addicted to strong
language and when the dentist began
his work the Judge INDUCED In some
classic comment. AS the tapping Of the
plug continued he threw all dignity to
the four winds Of heaven, and his Ian
guage became decidedly more forcible
than elegant" When, however, he arose
from the chair, after what seemed to
him an interminable period Of agony,
he pulled out all the stops in his vocab-
ulary for grand climax. The impress
sion on his listener seems to have been
deep and lasting. AS the judge passed
out the dentist grfmly remarked to a
waiting patient:
wasn't 1t beautiful? 1t wasn't really
necessary to pound half so long, but
did so enjoy his infection that 1 almost
pounded the hickory plug into splinters.
Wonderful command of language the

FARCE AT THE MANHATTAN.

Mr. Ditrichstein's new farce ''Before and After
which was acted last night at the Manhattan
Theatre. and which seemed to amuse numerous
and highly demonstrative assemblage, is rough
and coarse fabric of slop-dash, helter-sketer,
reckless cooquy replete with slang and not devoid
of incidents that while intrinsicay funny, ara
con1ically absurd.
This author appears to be one Of the many writer's
who mistake absurdity for humor and vugarans
for humOTously eccentric characters There is a
difference. Particular specification of the trivial
details of the farce would waste much space while
serving useful purpose. There are two doctors
in it. of whom has invented stimulant for
mirth. and this. being priviiy administered to the
other. impels him TO kiss female patient and
so incur the resentment Of a beIIicose husband.
Entangements ensue and dozen persons are i'm
plicated in web of frolio and cross-purpose. It is
be deplored that actor should introduce into
his play, and thus disparage his own profession,
vulgar types of theatrical charlatanism. One of
them elegantly exclaims: We've got that old guy
cinched This may be taken a fair sample of
the style The burden of the farce is sustained by
Mr.. Fritz Williams whose vivacity never flags.
The performance appeared to be successful, for
there was much laughter.
