"lt's All Dead"

A physician recently related an Incl
dent which had come under his OBJ
servation showing the aversion GER
tain little fellow of entertained for
dead chickens. On being seated at q
table upon which was an uncarved
chicken, he cried out in evident dis
tress, cts all dead, mamma! | must
have hurted it," and he could scarcely
be persuaded to remain at the table
until the dead creature was carved
past recognition.
Children are naturally tender and
other, but also solicitous for the well
fare of the lower animals. The parents
of this child will probably congratulate
themselves when his tender nature be-
comes so calloused that the sight of
dead animal being devoured will seem
to him entirely consistent, and will no
longer excite his pity.
Many of the boys in the stock yard
districts of our large cities are further
advanced in education in this line, for
they consider it rare amusement to
torment the live stock before they are
unloaded from the stock cars. One
method is to poke them with red-hot
irons until the animals give vent to
the most piteOus outcries.
The barbarous custom of college
hazing is another manifestation of
this same spirit of cruelty. which.
when implanted early enough in the
child's mind and then carefully fos.
tered and cultivated, will invariably
in due time produce a bountiful har-
vest of undesirable fruits in various
shocking manifestations of human
cruelty.

Breathing and Digestion.

The stomach lies just below the
diaphragm, and portion of the me-
chanical work of the stomach, the
mingling of the food and the digestive
fluids, is performed by the diaphragm,
which, as it moves up and down,
kneads the stomach and its contents.
and so greatly aids digestion. In or
binary breathing in a quiet person the
movements of the chest are so slight
as to be scarcely noticeable. and the
action Of the diaphragm produces lit
tie effect; but by moderate exercise
these movements are greatly in
creased, more than doubled, and the
stomach is energetically kneaded. In
this way, moderate exercise after eat
ing is beneficial. The practice OF
breathing movements is also very
helpful for persons who have slow
digestion.
Exercise out OF doors is especially
helpful. Fresh air, and especially
cold air, sharpens the appetite, and
creates a demand for food by burning
up the waste matters with which the
tissues are clogged, and preparing the
way for new material, which digestion
introduces into the blood.

is ABSOLUTELY PURE
NATURES OWN RESTORATIVE
IN FAvoRITE PRESCRIPTION.
Or. Pierce Announces the Ingredients
of the Family Medicines Which
Have Made His Name Household
Word in the World.

With all the recent talk about patent
medicines and the determined effort in
certain quarters to cast discredit upon
| all household remedies which come un'
| der that head, the fact remains that
some Of these medicines are so firmly
established in popular favor and con-
| fdence, have so proved their worth
and value, that all the denunciations
of bgots cannot destroy the peoples
| faith in them.
One of the best known Of these rem
edies is DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip-
ton, medicine which for years has
been accepted by the people as a. stan
dard preparation for the cure OF those
ailments to which women alone are
subject and which has proved TO be
certain cure in nine cases out OF ten
and a sure relief in the other one.
There is nothing to conceal about
the Fayorite Prescription. 1t Is an abb
solutely pure medicine-made OF roots
and herbs, Natures own restoratives.
DR.. Pierce is perfectly willing to let
every one know that his Favorite Pre-
scription contains Blue Cohosh (Caulo'
phyllum Thalictroides), Black Cohosh
(Cimicifuga Racemosa), Lady's Slip.
per (Cypripedium Pubescens) and
Golden Seal (Hydrastis Canadensis).
Every doctor knows that such a pre-.
scription is beneficial in the diseases
of women and when properly COM
pounded is certain to effect a cure IN
practically all cases when given fair
trial. Hereafter every bottle OF the
Favorite Prescription will plainly tell
of what the medicine is composed.
Thus DR.. Pierce will once more prove
to the world his own confidence in the
remedy which for forty years has
borne his name and which Is known all
over the world as a sovereign cure for
those diseases which, unchecked, make
our women old before their time.
There is no alcohol in the Favorite
Prescription. DR.. Pierce never be-
lieved in using alcohol in the prepare.
ton of his famous household remedies.
For it he substituted chemically pure
glycerine, which has wonderful prop
critics for extracting the medicinal
principles of roots and herbs and barks
and preserving them at their full

feet whatever.

STRAWBERRY A PERFECT FOOD
Fruit Juices Admirably Adapted to Those
Requiring Light Diet.

Rest means relaxatiOn-not only OF
the body, but of the mind also. In
America, particularly, we are apt to
forget this. That is why nervous
prostration" is such popular phrase
just now. The Germans, as nation,
go more slowly than we do in all
things; the English and even the
French take life more easily. Perhaps
our atmosphere conduces to energy
and hurry At any rate the popularity
of such words as strenuous" hustle"
and the like, in this country, show our
attitude as nation.
OF course we cannot Immediately
change all this. We do not wish to.
Enthusiasm and energy. hard work
and hard thinking, have brought us
to our present state of prosperity, and
we cannot afford to fall back now. Nor
do we need to. Hard work, whether
of hand or brain, does not kill, but
continual work and worry do. If we
would secure the future generations
from nervous degeneration, we must
learn how and when to relax.
This is very hard for some tempera-
ments. Some people must have their
hands constantly occupied in some
way, and it is difficult, of course, to
remember that haste is often slower
than elaboration. We say that have
no time to go slowly.
A great fault in busy people is their
failure to relax thoroughly at night.
Many go to bed and sleep, after a
fashion, but with tense nerves. The
mind should be as Invested of worries
and cares at bedtime as the body is of
clothes. The muscles must be relax.
ed. If exercises are taken at night,
they should end in a few especially
for relaxation. Some of the most
helpful of these relaxing exercises
may be mentioned:
1. Stand easily erect, chest raised
and abdomen in, and let the head fall
gently forward, then arms and trunk
above the waist All this must be
done without effort, the breath being
gently expelled at the same time. Aft
err little pause, raise the body slowly.
2. Stand erect, raise the arms
above the head and let them fall
first the fingers, then the wrists, then
the arms.
8. Let the arms hang at the sides,
then slowly and gently swing them
from side to side, gradually letting the
head and then the body swing with
them.
Remember that your object is to re-
lax the muscles and do all these exer-
cises easily and with as little exertioD
as possible.

LIBRARIES OF THE COUNTRY.
Report Given by United States Com.
missioner of Education.

uiSSIoIST W GbuSde'oits
The United States commissioner Of
education has in his annual report q
chapter on the libraries of the coun-
tr::'. Only those containing 1000 vol
umes or more are counted. There are
nine libraries that contain more than
100000 volumes each, and fifty-nine
that have over 100000 each. 1t is
shown that the North Atlantic states
contain more than half the entire
number of libraries enumerated, 5000
libraries containing in the aggregate
27,805,9 $50 volumes. New York is at
the head of the states, having 924 H.
braries, with 9,079,S63 volumes;
Massachusetts, next, with GA Ii
braries and 7,616,994 volumes; Penn
sylvania follows with 491 libraries,
containing 4,5SO,S12 volumes. These
three states have nearly 80 per cent
of the libraries and 40 per cent of the
number of volumes reported for the
whole country. Taking the country
as a whole, there is one library con-
tanning at least 1000 volumes for ev-
cry 1000 of the population.
