Unhappy Women !!

No woman can be happy when her
health is undermined. No woman can
have good health while she suffers from
female weakness, Inflammation, ulcera-
tion or any disease of the delicate wom-
anly organs. Nervous, Sleepless. fretful,
suffering in body and mind, she does not
live but only exists.
More than half a million such women
have found a perfect and permanent cure
for their diseased condition in the use of
Doctor Pierce's Favorite Prescription.
Women cured by this remedy say it is
q wonderful medicine" SO perfectly
does it restore them to health and come
illness.
There is no alcohol in "Favorite Pre-
scription," neither does it contain opium,
cocaine, nor any other harmful drug. 1t
is in the strictest sense, an honest, tenn
perance medicine. Its ingredients are
purely vegetable, and it will agree with
the most delicate constitution.
nWe Don't be hypnotized, or over per-
H Suaded, into accepting a substitute.
This medicine has a record that's worth
far more than any difference in price.
Sick and ailing women are invited to
consult DIR. Pierce, either personally or
by letter, absolutely without charge or
fee, thus avoiding the unpleasant ques-
tloningS, offensive examinations and OBJ
noxious local treatments considered nee
essary by many local practitioners. All
correspondence treated as strictly private
and sacredly confidential. Write without
fear and without fee to DIR. R. V. Pierce.

VITAL STATISTICS.
All Births and Deaths Must be Fully
Recorded.

The new state law regarding vital
statistics provides that in the matter
of births the physician or midwife, or
the father if householder, where
there is no physician or midwife,
must fill out a certificate giving the
place of birth, town, city, county,
street number and number of ward,
full name of child if named at date
of birth. If the birth is in a hospital
or institution it is sufficient to name
it, Attached to this certificate are two
columns to be filled out in unfading
ink, showing the sex of the child.
color, race, twins or triplets or other
number in order of birth, and legiti-
mate or illegitimate. In one column
there must be given the name of the
father in full, his residence, color,
race, age at last birthday, birthplace
and occupation. The same facts must
be set out as to the mother. 1t must
also appear what number of children
the mother has had and the number
now living. Then follows the certifi-
cate of the physician or midwife.
These blanks the county recorder
must keep in stock and supply to all
who wish them. The certificate and
blank must be returned to the recor-
der within five days after the birth of
the child. If the child is not named
at birth a supplemental blank is sup
piled for the purpose to be attached
to the original. All the blanks have
broad margins for binding so that
they may be preserved as original rec
ords by the state registrar, to whom
the local registrar returns them. In
cities the local registrar is the health
officer; ouItside of cities he is the
county recorder.
Certificates of death are provided
for and must be signed by the physi-
clan in attendance or by the coroner,
to whom the case may be referred by
the registrar, and no burial permit
can issue until proper certificate of
death is made out. No undertaken can
bury, cremate OF remove a body with
out burial permit and a certificate
of death. He is held Jointly respon-
sible for the issuance of death certifi-
Gates, and must see to it that they
are made as the law requires.
The death certificate, copies of
which the County Recorder must fur
nish to all who desire them, are very
elaborate, and must show the sex,
color, race, date of birth, age, wheth-
er deceased was married, single, wild
owed or divorced, birthplace, occupa-
tion, name Of father maiden name of
mother, birthplace of mother, former
or usual residence, how long at such
residence, where the disease was con-
tracted if not at place of death, etc.
These facts must be certified by
competent witness whose address is
to be set out in full.
A second attached certificate is for
use at hospitals, in sanitariums and
for transients. Attached to both is
the medical certificate of death, dura-
tion of disease, etc.
The State Register is given power
to require all prosecuting officers to
proceed against all officlers and
people who neglect or refuse to COM
ply with the requirements of the law
relating to these certificates of death,
birth and those essential to the is
suance of burial permits. The refusal
or neglect referred to is made mis-
demeanor.

These are the women who beat the flax stem till it turns from plant to beautiful silky fiber; thence 1t is turned from fiber into hands It is woven and bleached and made by these rough hands into cloth often of exquisite fineness and snowy luster. The peasant women even shear the sheep and wash the wool.
 It Is hard for us in America to imag- inc the poverty in whih the poorer peasants live. The Russian woman works in the field and does her house. work and sewing, so that her work is harder than her husbands. Russian women go barefoot all summer. They have no beds to sleep In. They tumble upon the miserable floors at night. In summer when night comes they often drop down in the fields where they are at work and sleep like the four footed creatures till morning.
 The food of these hapless peasants seems the toughest dose of all. They have almost nothing to eat except a soup made of soured cabbage, a sort of kraut. and rye bread. Sometimes the soup is made of fermented beets. The soup Is eaten with rye bread, even that being frequently adulterated with chop ped straw. as if it were horse feed. On Sundays and holidays there may be some meat. No comfortable cup of warming, stimulating coffee has the Russian mother when she goes to her farm work in the morning. She tolls

but the decline in the excise duties on spirits which commenced in 1900, con- tinued. The consumption of beer and spirits was less in 1904 than in any of the preceding fifteen years. In fact, said MT Chamberlain, the habits of the people are changing and this must be taken into account in considering the financial situation. The majority of the people are finding other employ ment for the money they used to spend on public houses. Outdoor recreation and excursions are becoming more pop ular.
 Turning to the expenditure of 1904 05, Mir. Chamberlain said it had been below the estimates and the actual re- alized surplus for the year was 7,O7O,- 900 pounds. The national debt had been reduced by $37.79O.O00 and at the close of the year stood at $3,775,3 360, ,000. Dealing with the finances of the new year MT Chamberlain estimated the expenditure for 1905-06 at $705, 760, ,000 and the revenue on the existing basis of taxation at $720, 0,020, 900, leaving a surplus of $14,S60.000.
 The surplus at his disposal from last year, MT. Chamberlain said. was small, but he had no doubt regarding what had the first claim on the coun- try's resources. The first thing to do was to restore the nations credit. He proposed that S0,OOUUOV Shoulu pS duo- ed to tho fixed debt charge to create sinking fund for the $5O,OO0,0OO in the treasury bonds falling due in De- cember and which he proposed to re- issue as new bonds for ten years with the condition that one-tenth be drawn and repaid each year.
 Incidentally the chancellor of the eX- cheQuer said he hoped that the first installment of tn $150, 100000 of the war contribution promised by the Transvaal would be available in 1906. In the meanwhile repayments from the Transvaal on account of railroad works and rates of stores together with the sinking fund at the Govern ment's disposal would wipe out $20,- n0O 00O nf rraasury bonds aut of inc

BUDGET DAY IN HOUSE LARGE CROWD HEARD CHANCEL- LOR'S FINANCIAL STATEMENT, EngIand's Credit Is Rapidly Assuming Normal Condition, But Decrease
 in Liquor Traffic Has Cut
 the Revenues.

Londcn, April 10.-Budget day at- tracted a large crowd of members of Parliament and visitors to the House of Commons today and when the Chan cellor of the Exchequer, Austen Cham
 berlain, rose to make his annual state
 mcnt the House was well filled. At the outset. MT. Chamberlain put his hearers in a good humor by an nouncing that the revenue for the year
 just closed exceeded his estimate by nearly $15,00OOOO showing that the trade of the country had turned the corner, and whereas a year ago there
 was a heavy deficit there now had been established something more than equt- librium between the revenue and ex- penditure.
 MT. Chamberlain estimated the ex- penditure for l905-06 at $705, 16O, 900,
 and the revenue on the existing sasis
 of taxation at $720,O2O. 900, leaving d
 surplus of $14,S6O,OOO.
 The tea tax is reduced by 4 cents from
 July 1. the date on which the existing duty expires. There is a reduction in | the income tax, although 1904 began badly, said the Chancellor. a bountiful crop of cotton had revived the Lam
 cashire industries, ship building show ed signs of recovery and the iron and
 steel industry had slightly improved.
 Nevertheless, while the country was on
 path of moderate but steady recov-
 cry 1t could be said 1904 had been
 wholly satisfactory from the viewpoint
 of commerce and finance. There had
 been much pauperism and distress. In analysing the items of revenue MT, Chamberlain said the sugar duty promised to prove an expanding rev enue and tea fell short of the esti-
 mate, mostly during the last quarter of the year, so perhaps this was att tributable to holding shipments on the
 chance of a reduction in the duty. The exnortz of coal marked record

The people of other lands know of the Russian women of the nobility, the duchesses and princesses, beauti- full. accomplished, speaking a dozen languages fluently and often danger ously fascinating. Occasionally one of these fascinating Russian women in other lands is a government spy of the most adroit kind. Russian ladies in foreign capitals, like Russian men of the upper classes, are splendid spend- thrifts. And now and then a Russian actress or singer flashes upon the pub lie gloriously, showing the marvellous artistic gifts of the Russian woman.
 But of the millions of working Russ women, those who toll in field and fac- tory and bide in abject lifelong pow erty, outsiders know almost nothing. Even the women of the nobility, who spend so lavishly in foreign cities and in their own capital, often pass the summers skimping and raising farm produce upon their country estates in order to get money for the gay city season.
 Women of the peasant class. more numerous than any other, have the hardest, saddest existence of any. What life is to them may be known from this: In their language the word for "suf fering'' and for farm work" Is one and the same. The peasants own no land, but live on the great estates of the nobility.
 On large estate the wife of the owner is called the great lady" She and her daughters or other feminine relatives manage all the departments of dairying, fruit culture, poultry rear ing, the sheep shearing and wool in- dustry: also the process of turning flax

HANDFUL OF STOCKS WERE AGGREs-

Spotty Upward Movement Served to Over come Positive Weakness, Which Showed During the First
 Hour of Trading.

New York, April 10-A handful of stocks were aggressively strong in today's market but their sympathetic Influence on the rest of the list was moderate. The spotty up ward movement served to overcome to . large extent the positive weakness which showed during the first hour of trading. but the advent of interest in the market palp- ably declined from that manifested last week. The movement became sluggish and marrow. and the volume of dealings fell of considerably and weakness was renewed in the late market
 The explanation of the most conservative attitude of the speculation was not very clear The sudden and easy reaction of Saturday. however. caused some misgivinss over the speculative situation and these were not entirely overcome by the inviting ad-
 The Northern Securities situation again assumed dominant position in the days market. the impelling cause being the jump

These movements stimulated an active demand for Union Pacific and again less ened the tide of rumors regarding that prop erty and the far-reaching projects of the powers in control of it. to be furthered by the $l00. ,0oo preferred stock increase. Reading made some special show of streng tn Tn company with Delaware & Hudson, but the movement did not extend further in the group of coalers.
 Conjecture was busy during the day over the condition shown by the Government re- port of the winter wheat crop. The report was not published during the hours of
 trading. but expectation was very conf,- dent of tis favorable character owing to the high condition reported recently by author ities of the different States. This an influence in keeping down the price or
 wheat as 1t was of holding up the price of
 the Granger railroad stocks It is not probable. however, that the desire to see the official figures had its influence in prompt ing in the waiting attitude of the trading.
 The expectation of an early sea fight in the
 Far East was an early influence in the same direction and caused some selling or stocks, more here for foreign account on any advance.
 Foreign exchange made another advance. Money continued rather firm and loaned on call again at per cent.
 The days rather laborious and uneven
 strength was unconvincing to sentiment and gave place to abrupt reaction in the last half hour. The unloading of stocks was supposed to be due in part to the unsettle- ment of the Chicago wheat market. The close was irregular.

CHICAGO GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.

Chicago. April 10-Heavy primary re- ceipts tended to weaken the wheat market port would prove bearish was a further de- pressing influence. At the close wheat for May delivery was down 1hc. July wheat is off 1s c Asc. Corn shows a gain of 1s QAc; oats and provisions are practically un- changed.
 An irregular start was made in the wheat Ac to asc at $1.14h to s1.15, while July was shade lower to hQ%c higher at SIS gS7hc The weakness of May was due largely to rumors of impending litigation connected with the recent bull campaign In that option. On the other hand the com parative strength of July was mainly the result of the steady tone of Liverpool, not withstanding a sharp decline over Saturday. The volume of trading Was small owing to Government crop report which 1t was thought to be very bearish. On covering by shorts the price of May was quickly bid up to $1 16, but an equally rapid decline fol- lowed almost immediately. Predictions of freezing weather in Kansas tonight had a steadying effect temporarily on the July op- became decidedly weak. One cause of the weakness was a severe decline at Kansas City and St. Louis, where receipts today were considerably in excess of the corr spending day year ago. Another bearish factor was report that a great effort was being made to break the May deal in Min neapolis market heavy shipments from Du- luth having been forwarded for that pur- pose. In sympathy with the decline in outslue markets the price Of May dropped to $1.4. July sold to S6Ac. The market closed near the lowest point of the day with May at $1.149s. July closed at S65sc
 Corn was moderately strong, but no great activity was manifested. Predictions of cold CT weather in the West tended to create bullish sentiment. Another influence was falling off in local receipts. Shorts and commission houses were the best buyers. July opened a shade higher at 47%c sold up to 4Sc and closed at 47%c. Local re- ceipts were s47 cars. with contract grade.
 Small receipts and firmness of corn was sufficient to hold the oats market steady. Trading was very quiet. July opened about unchanged, sold up to 29% 92sAc and closed at 2sss 92sAc. Local receipts. 59 cars
 Despite heavy receipts of hogs and weak ness of wheat the provisions market held steady Owing to scarcity of offerings the volume of trading was extremely small At the close July was a shade lower at SIS .O5 @13o7h. Lard and ribs were each un- changed at $7. .40@7.42h and $7.45 respect lively.
