BALL TOURNAMENT A SUCCESS.

Saturday afternoon, Bookings vs..

The game Friday morning did not
draw a large crowd. 1t was a nice
clean game, we'll played by both
sides, although it was evident the
BrookiDgs team vas not, forced to

DIR. G. Stanley Hall, President of
Clark University, Worcester, Mass,
delivered the principal address at the
opening session in Washington, last
week, of the Mothers Congress. His
subject was "New Ideals of Mother.
hood Suggested by Child Study"
Parenthood, he declared, is really
the supreme end of man and woman
and the best test of civilization is
whether or not it contributes to bring.
ing young people into the world and
advancing them to the highest possible
maturity they are capable OF attaining.
Within the past year DR.. Hall said
he had gathered statistics Of marriage
and births from fifteen male and three
af the largest women's colleges. "Of
the girls who have been out of college
twenty years, just about one.half are
married and the rest are unmarried.
In the male colleges We found that of
the men who have been out of college
twenty-five years, twenty-five per cent.
are unmarried.

A WOMAN'S LOVE.

Nor for myself do ask that grace shall

But for my love on earth, who mourns
for me.
"Great Spirit! let me see my love again
And comfort him one hour, and l were

Then said the plying angel, "Nay, re-

WHAT MAKES HER POPULAR.

The American girl is admired and liked
q home and abroad because she is the
happiest, usually the healthiest and friend
iest of girls She is fond of life and ia
alive to everything beautiful and good in
existence. Mrs I.angtry has said that the
American woman has little to learn from
her English sisters.
DR.. Pierce, the specialist in women's dis
eases, of Buffalo, N. Y, advises simple ex-
ercises for worIen. preferably in the out
door air. But many women are confined
to the house and their household duties or
their business confines them to poorly ven.
tilated rooms.
If woman suffers from headache, q
backache, a sensation of irritability or
twltching and uncomfortable nervousness,
something must be wrong with the head Or
back, she naturally says, but all the time
the real trouble very often centers in the
womanly organs In % per cent of cases
the seat of the difficulty is here, and a
woman should take rational treatment for
its cure. The local disorder and inflamma-
ton OF the delicate special organs of the
sex should ba treated steadily and system
atically.
Backed up by over third of a century of
remarkable and uniform cures, a record
such as no other remedy for the diseases
and weaknesses peculiar to women ever
attained. the proprietors and makers of DR..
Pierce's Favorite Prescription now feel fully
warranted in offering to pay $500 for any
case of Leucorrhea, Female Weakness Pro-
lapsus, or Falling of Womb which they
cannot cure. All they ask is a fair and
reasonable trial Of their means of cure

Government statistics for the year
1903 are responsible for the following
interesting statistics OF relative fnan'

The "egg and poultry earnings" ol
the United States amounted, during

The total value of gold, silver, wool
and sheep for the same year was only
s272.4S4.315.
The cotton crop for the same year
was valued at $250, ,l61 GAO.
The 1903 wheat crop was worth
$239, ,939.735 to the country.
The product OF the Uuited States
hog market amounted to $1S6, ,529, ,035

The potato crop balanced the oai
crop precisely.
Tobacco brought total OF $35, ,579,
225 to its combined producers.
The entire sugar production OF the
country was worth only $20,OOO,O 600.
Says q writer in the Chicago Inter.
Ocean: "For the sake of gaining q
clearer idea OF the immense magnitude
OF the egg product alone it may be
stated tha. the 1890, 100000 dozen
eggs produced yearly would fill 49,
l27, 900 crates OF thirty dozen each
An ordinary refrigerator Car, with an
average length of forty.swo and one
half feet, holds 400 such crates. A
train of these cars sufficiently long tc
carry the eggs produced in 19O3-and
the continually increasing number ol
each successive year must be remem'
bered-would be 868 miles long, OF
long enough to reach from Chicago tc
Washington and have several miles ol
cars to spare. One hundred and seven
thousand eight hundred and eighteen
of these cars would be needed to carry
