Many women long for a child to bless
their homes, but because of some de-
b;lity or displacement of the female
organs they are barren.
Preparation for healthy maternity is
accomplished by Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound more successfully
than by any other medicine, because it
gives tone and strength to the entire
female organism, curing all displace-
ments, liberation and Inflammation.
A woman who is in good physical
condition transmits to her children the
blessings of a good constitution. Is
not that an incentive to prepare for a
healthy maternity?
If expectant mothers would fortify
themselves with Lydia E. Pinkham's

DisinfeCt the Hen Yards.

Disease spreads rapidly in summer.
The we'll known bordeaux mixture is
excellent for use on yards that have
contained diseased fowls, but a cheap
cr method is to dissolve one pound of
coppcras in two gallons Of boiling
water. When cold add one Gil of sui
phuric acid. With an old watering pot
sprinkle every portion of the ground,
handling the mixture carefully. Where
the ground seems to be the source of
gHpcs in chicks, lime is one Of the
cheapest materials to apply.

HOLSE CLEANING IN THE POULTRY YARD

Hens should be through moulting
BY this time, and they and the young
pullets ought to be laying well before
the cold weather sets in. Special at
tention to clean up everything around
the poultry yard is one Of the necessary
things. First Gull out the stock, ana
sell off the spare cOckrells, and scrub
by old stock that nifty
hens well cared for will bring more
profit than one hundred crowded to-
gether and carelessly fed. remove all
the old nesting, scrape rOosts and give
them SINCE in the flame As you burn
up the trash from the nest boxes: u a
dirt floor, scrape of the top ana bring
in load or two of gravel, until the
floor in the house Is several lncuea
higher than outside. and whltewa7h or
paint all the inside. Kerosene the
roosts, put good strips over all the
cracks in the house, make the rOost
corner extra warm and snug, place a
window or two in the south side, ana
then with proper variety OF food you
can look for results with a good deal OF
certainty.

Lord De Spencer was evidently not

he returned the letter to Lord SellxirlS

Famous Artist to Produce Portrait OF
j. Plerpont Moraan

Those who know j. Pierpont Nor
gan we'll are wondering what he will
say and do when he views his portrait
after ]. j. Shannon gets through paint
ing 1t. Shannon throughout his artis-
tic career has been wholly frank-some
would say brutal-in his fidelity to ma
ture. Though Mr.. Morgan has had his
portrait painted twice by New York
artist, one picture being for his son,
the other for his daughter Mrs. Satter-
lee, he did not ''sit" for these pictures
in the usual way. The most the painter
could do was TO get permission to
study the banker as he worked in his
office. Thus sketches In pencil were
made one OF the portraits was shown
in public and looked less like Mr.. Nor
gan than the average newspaper "cut'
does. The artist, who is a society
painter pure and simple, did not have
the courage to represent the banker as
he really is. But now It Is reported
that Mr.. Morgan is actually TO 'sit"
for his portrait TO shannon, who is an
American and is second In popularity
only to Sargent in London. The lorg-
nette holder saw Morgan looking at

exported. 1t is no uncommon thing to
have stone weighing twenty carats or
more weighed and tested for its worth
per carat IN this office. In fact Gen.
Mindil in a reminiscent mood recounted
a day when 4OO-carat rough stone
passed through his hands.
When a stone of this size is imported
it is for the purpose of "cleaving," as
the practice is known. No gem of that
size would be worn. The man who cuts
up these big diamonds is the biggest
priced man in the diamond business.
1t is done with knife, and only few
men in this country are expert enough
to dlssect a stone. All of the diamond
packages are numbered and referred to
in the invoice Sometimes they are in
voiced below their real value. The ex-

granted that the responsibility is rather
irksome."
Importations of diamonds have stead
lily increased for several years. The
collectors Office thought that the limit
had been reached last year when in cut
stones and pearls the books showed a
valuation of $16 416,5 ,5SS4S and in preci-
GUS stones uncut $9,675,741. In 1903 the
total appraised value was $24, SIS, 1885,
The importations the present year show
great increase over last year. In
fact, 1t is expected to prove the big
gest year i'm the history Of the depart
ment. In March alone the importations
were $S,67S,3S3. This is an increase of
a million and half dollars more than
the business done in March of 1904.
There was a period in the collectors
office when the receipts from duties
were sadly I'm arrears. After the Will
son tariff bill was passed, which raised
the duty on diamonds to 25 per cent,
there was a tremendous falling off I'm
the valuations. During the three years
this duty stood at rs per cent the total
value of importationss of precious
stones only amounted to s1S,421. 125.
Ten years ago a carat diamond was
mostly used in engagement rings but
today with the present high price OF
the gems, the fair one must be content
with the smaller stone. II she gets
three-quarter carat diamond for her
white hand she is fortunate, for half
carat stones are the vogue.

government gets 10 per cent of the
valuation set by Gen. Mindil.
From the office of the appraiser to
the safe is only a matter of a few
minutes, but there is never time when
alert men are not walking somewhere
in the corridor. You can tell from the
manner in which they look at you that
they are there for business, on duty to
prevent some rash individual from at
tempting to get rich in hurry.
In this great warehouse are forty
watchmen. When at night fortune in
diamonds reposes in the safe of the big
house situated in the darkened section
of the city there is not a moment that
two or three men cannot enter the
