NUMBER &c
MASON AND DlXON'S LINE.

The historic Mason and DixOn's
line is often spoken of now in
vague sort of way. 1t would be
really interesting for many people
who consider themselves wise and
educated to express an otf-handed
opinion of what and where Mason
& Dixon's line really is. "A popu-
lar belief is that it is a line of de-
markation between the states which
seceeded from and those which re-
mained in the Union. Some think
this line was surveyed at the out
break of the civil war of 1861 to
divide the north from the south.
The clipping from the New York
Herald given below gives the brief
history of this noted line.
Hanover, Pa, July 23.-The
survey OF the historical Mason &
DiXon's line has been completed
by the surveyors jointly employed
by the states of Pennsylvania and
Maryland. When the legislatures
of this states decided not to allow
the famous boundary line to lose
its markings and drop out of exist
ence, so far as visible signs were
concerned, they undertook a work
that proved difficult and tedious.
The surveyors were obliged to cnt
a path through the mountains and
they found many of the old mark
ers and crown stones displaced. In
Adams county, Pa, one stone was
used as a doorsill in a dwelling,
another in a church, some has been
used in bake ovens, and others
were lying at considerable distances
from their original places. All
were recovered, although not with
out vigorous objection upon the
part of the people who were using
them.
The work of re-establishing the
line was carefully done, and the
old stone posts set along its course
after Charles Mason and jeremiah
Dixon marked 1t ont In 1903 were
reset in solid cement bases, and
iron posts were substituted in
places where the old posts have
disappeared.
The Mason & DixOn's line was a
dispute between the states of Penn
sylvania aud Maryland over their
respective boundaries as described
in their charters and prior to the
civil war popularity accepted as the
dividing line between the free and
the slave states. The boundary
was marked by mile stones, every
fifth one having the arms Of Lord
Baltimore engraved on one side
and those of William Penn on the
other.

HOW TO HOLD A HUSBAND.

The best known guide TO married happi-
ness is to hold the husband as you won the
lover-by Cheerfuluess of disposition, pa
tiencc and keeping your youthful looks.
OF course great many women are hdndt-
capped by those ills to which women are
heir. The constantly recurring troubles
which afTiiCt her are apt to cause sour
disposition, nervousness and a beclouded
mind.
Dr. +. V. Pierce, the specialist in woman s
diseases, of Buffalo, N. ", after a long ex-
peS.euce i'll treating such diseases, found
that certain roots and herbs made into
LIQUID extract, would help the majority
of cases This he called DR. Pierce's Fa-
vorite Prescription. Thousands of women
have testified to its merits, and 1t is put
UP in shape to be easily procured and
is sold by all medicine dealers This is
a potent tonic for the Womanly system.
So much faith has DR.. Pierce in its merits
that he offers $500 reward for any case of
Leucorrhea, Female Weakness, Prolapsus,
or Falling of Womb, which he cannot
cure All he asks is a fair and reasonable
trial of his means of cure.
rIcannot express my thanks for the benefit I
have received from Dr., Perce's medicines, -
writes Mrs. Julius WehrlV, of Cambridge, Dor
chester County, Md. "I took Favorite Pre-
scription and feel that perfect cure has been
effected. I feel like thanking you a thousand
times for the good you have done me, and for
the kind and fatherly letters which you wrote.
1 shall always speak good word for your medi-
cines whenever l can"

THE DOWNFALL OF MAN.


the Chicago University declared
that man would soon be driven by
woman from the places which he
held with so much pride in the in
dustrial and commercial world, and
be compelled to earn his living in
those pursuits which called only
for brute strength. We "outemp-
tuously pooh-poohed the assertion
of the professor, but alas calamity
has followed fast on prophecy.
Within the last week the platform
of the Woman Christian Socialist
party has thundered upon the mas
culine world, and, between shiVers,
we are able to saw in addition to
providing a new Constitution Of the
| United States it warns all men Of
the rough Shedding they are going
to have III the near future. Among
the changes which the platform de
mands are:
"The abolition of individual
| ownership OF lauu.
"The abandonment of the use Of
money.
"The establishment of stores,
at which every man doing his
share Of work may obtain every
thing he needs free.
Cali social and business relations
to be governed by two laws, viz ::
CD The Golden rule aud (2) if a
man will not work neither shall he
eat.
Communities, States and the
national government to be admin
istered by boards of directors,
elected by all members of society,
male and female. y
The new party asserts that man
has made such an awful botch of
government that the existing state
Of affairs is intolerable, and to
make matters worse The COnstiu-
ton is a failure, inasmuch as lib
erty and happiness are no longer
possible for majority, aud life it
self is in constant state of JeOp-
ardy. The worthlessness Of man
for anything except to wear trous-
ers if thus set forth:
"It is apparent that the capacity
of men for maintaining peaceful
government has reached its natural
limit. Therefore, be it resolved !,
That woman, the representative of
the mother principle of the creative
force, and consequently endowed
with clearer perceptions of Divine
truth and natural law, shall remove
the transgression and evolve order
out of chaos by instituting a new
Constitution, based on free land,
thus bringing the nation into line
with the eternal and benefcent laws
of creation"
Now comes the sting:
"Be it further resolved, That the
work of propagandism be vigor-
ously pushed sc that as early as
possible a delegation of women
representing every State in the I'm
ion may proceed to Washington,
d. c., there to lay before the rul
ing powers of this government this
proposition, namely: That the old
and effete Constitution of the Unit
ed States be abrogated land the new
Constitution, meeting the exigencles
of the hour, be adopted"
Man is to lose the high place he
has held so long; there is no
doubt about it. He is to be driven
to field as a companion for the OK
and the mule. While we bewail
our own fate we can not help feel
ing sorry for the old Constitution
