Teaching the Young idea.

Zone day at st. Louis" said a drum
mer, Il saw three little savage child
rem stabbing into a tub of water with
daggers. A man stood over them and
when one gave the water an unusu-
ally clean stab the man would emit
a grunt Of appreciation and pat the
youngster on the head.
"A guide told me that these child
rem were learning to handle the dag
ger-and that the use of the dagger
was always taught among the tribe
that way.
He said that a child practiced and
practiced till he could stab water with
out making a splash. Then he was
promoted to stabbing the carcasses Of
dead animals. Then he stabbed live
animals that were in motion.
Il took one of the daggers and tried
to stab the water Clearly myself
couldn't do it. With every stroke
made a tremendous splash. The lit
tie savages laughed and their mentor
grunted scornfully."

Jewels in Bed 100 Years.

A young chauffeur, who had Iodg-
ings in a hotel in the Rue Boccador,
Paris, France, had recently been COM
planning to the hotelkeepers that his
bed was so uncomfortable as to pre-
vent him from sleeping. In vain they
changed the mattresses and pillows;
the feeling of discomfort persisted
until the young man started to inves-
tigate for himself. Feeling that the
bolster contained something hard, he
ripped it open and found a wooden
box. Inside he discovered ten gold
watches of the time of Louis XIV, and
several other articles of valuable jew
elry, with newspaper clippings bear
ing the date of 1897.
The police on investigation found
that the bolster had been bought by
the hotelkeeper from his predecessor,
and that the jewelry and watches had
probably been hidden in the bolster
during the troubles following the
French revolution, and had remained
for more than century without an
owner. 1t is probable that the chauf
feur will be allowed to retain the
treasure.

Annie RoIeyn,s Clock.

A pathetic reminder of the love of
Anne Boleyn for Henry VIII. can be
seen in the corridor of Windsor cas-
tie. 1t is a clock, which is said to
have been presented to her on her
wedding morning by the king. It is
about four inches high and square and
ten inches high, surmounted by the
figure of a lion. When Horace Wal
poles collection on Strawberry Hill
was sold it was purchased in behalf
of Queen Victoria for $3.50. The
weights are of lead, cased in copper,
gilt and engraved; on one are the mi
tial letters Of Henry and Anne and
true lovers knots; on the other H. A
alone, and at the top OF each 'Dieu ct
mon drOit;" at the bottom THE most
happy" The movement at present in
the case has brass wheels, a crown
wheel escapement and a short pendu-
lum. Though not modern, it is Ger
tainly not earlier than the middle OF
the sixteenth century Whether by
accident or design, though the weights
are suspended below the supporting
brackets the mechanism is now silent
and the hands are still. There is no
record as to the maker of this interest
ing relic, but it is probably of foreign
make, as most Of the clocks of this
period were.

WEALTH AT SEAS BOTTOM.
Untold Treasure of Pure Manganese
Lies Under the Pacific Ocean.

Lies Under the Pacific Ocean.
In spite of the enormous inroads
made on this earth's great store OF
wealth, diamonds, gold, oil, gas, coal,
iron and other materials, recent in
vestigations have brought to light the
interesting fact that treasure fields
containing fabulous wealth still re-
main intact.
Investigations have proved, for in
stance, that huge areas of the floor
of the Pacific are strewn thick with
immense deposits of nodules of pure
manganese. Invent a practical and
economical method of recovering it
and the individual who does so will
at once become rich beyond the
dreams of avarice.
The most crying need today is a
substitute for Para rubber. 1t is Ger

Celluloid and oxidized linseed oil are
useful for some purposes for which
rubber is used, but for cycle and auto

material with the necessary elasticity.
The inventor OF a substitute would
sooa become a multimillionaire.

WOMHV NEEDS

For the relief and cure of the many del
icate, intricate and obstinate ailments
peculiar to her sex, a remedy carefully
devised and adapted to her delicate
organization by an experienced and
skilled physician. Such a remedy is
DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription.
The treatment of many thousands of
those chronic weaknesses and distress
ing ailments peculiar to females, at the
Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute,
Buffalo, N. Y, has afforded a vast ex-
perience in nicely adapting and thor
oughIy testing remedies for the cure of
woman's peculiar maladies.
DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is
the outgrowth, or result, of this great
and valuable experience. Thousands
of testimonials received from patients
and from physicians who have tested it
in the more aggravated and obstinate
cases which had baffled their skill,
prove it to be superior remedy for the
relief and cure of suffering women. 1t
is not recommended as cure-all, :"
but as most perfect specific for wom-
ans peculiar ailments.
As a powerful tinvigorating tonic, it
imparts strength to the whole system
and to the womb and its appendages in
particular. For over worked, =" worn
out" debilitated teachers, milliners,
dressmakers, seamstresses, shop
girls" house-keepers, nursing moth
ers, and feeble women generally, Z" Fa-
vorite Prescription is the greatest
earthly boon, being unequaled as an
appetizing cordial and restorative tonic.
As a soothing and strengthening
nervine, I" Favorite Prescription is
uneQualed and is invaluable in allaying
and subduing nervous excitability, irri-
liability, nervous exhaustion, nervous
prostration, neuralgia, hysteria, spasms,
chorea, or st. Vitus's dance, and other
distressing, nervous symptoms COM
monty attendant upon functional and
organic disease of the womb. 1t in
duces refreshing sleep and relieves
mental anxiety and dependency.

IT Is IN THE BLOOD
Neither Liniments nor 0intments
Will Reach Rheumstism-How
Mr.. Stephenson Vas Cured.

People with infiamed and aching
joints, or painful muscles; people who
shuttle about with the aid Of a cane or a
crutch and cry, Oh at every slight jar,
are constantly asking, What is the best
thing for rheumatism ?''
To attempt TO cure rheumatism BIZ ex-
ternal applications is foolish waste OF
time. The seat of the disease is in the
blood. and while the sufferer is rubbing
lotions and grease ON the skin the poison
III the circulation is increasing.
Delaysi in adopting sensible treatment
are dangerous because rheumatism may
at any moment reach the heart and prove
fatal The only safe course for rheumatic
sufferers is TO get the best possible blood
remedy at once.
Mr.. Stephenson's experience with this
obstinate and distressing affection is
that of hundreds. He says:
about year ago 1 was attacked by
severe rheumatic pains III my left
shoulder. The pains were worse in wet
weather, and at these periods caused me
the greatest suffering. I tried a number
of treatments and ointments, but they
failed to alleviate the palms.
Then he realized that the cause must
be deeper and the pain only surface in
dication. He adds:
- I had heard DR.. Williams Pink Pills
for Pale People recommended as a cure
for rheumatism, and when I found that
Twas getting no relief from applications,
I made up my mind that would try
them. Before the first box was gone 1
noticed that the pains We're becoming
less frequent. and that they We're not so
severe as before. After the second box
had been used up ! was entirely free
from discomfort, and have had no traces
of rheumatism since"
The change in treatment proved by
almost immediate results that Mr.
Thomas Stephenson, who lives at No. lis
Greenwood street, Springfield. Mass,
had found the true means for the purifi-
cation and enrichment of his blood.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills are without
doubt the best of all blood remedies
They effect genuine and lasting cures III
rheumatism. They do not merely deaden
the ache, but they expel the poison from
the blood. These pills are sold by all
druggists.
