IDEAL WIFE
Shapes the Destiny of Men-T1e Influence OF a
Healthy Woman Cannot Be Overestinated.

Seven-eighths of the
men in this world marry
a woman because she is
beautiful ia their eyes
because she has the quail
ties which inspire admira-
ton, respect and love.
There is a beauty in
health which is more at
tractive to men than mere
regularity of feature.
The influence Of women
glorious in the possession
of perfect physical health
upon men and upon the
civilization of the world
could never be measured.
Because Of them men have
attained the very heights
of ambition because of
them even thrones have
been established and de-
stroyed.
What a disappointment,
then, to see the fair young
wife's beauty fading away
before 8 year passes over
her head! sickly, half
dead-and-alive woman,
especially when she is
the mother Of a family,
is a damper to all joyous

covENT GARDEN DESCRIBED
Famous London Market Set Forth In
Word-Pictures at Various
Periods.

Market gardeners who spend
the sleeping hours of the London
er's morning at Covent Garden
would scarcely recognize their
place of business in the words: Il
acras terre ct pasture cum peril
nentiis vocat The Covent Garden
jacentes in parochia Sancti Mar.
TIM in campis juxta Charinge
Crosse" Yet that was the de-
scription of it as held by the earl
of Bedford when he leased it on
March 10, 1851. Earlier than that,
though, in 1870, the same landlord,
in granting lease of it to Lord
Burghley, called it his "pocyon or
percell of the Pasture communely
called Coyent Garden, and other
tenements scituate in the high
streate of Westminster, comun-
ly called the Stronde." A pres
ent description of Covent Garden
might be better spelled, perhaps,
but it would be less picturesque.
"Communely" ceases to be com.
mon when it can be spelled as you
please.

CAUSE OF SLOW GROWTH.
Cause Of Retarded Development Of Cal
Hornia e Laid to Scarcity
OF Coal.

One Of the causes which has
somewhat retarded the develop
ment of California, particularly
in the manufacturing line, has
been the lack of fuel. The finding
of oil in that state has relieved in
some degree the situation, but
large quantities Of coal are still
used, most of which has either to
be brought in from Australia or
other foreign ports, or else
brought by rail a distance of 1000
miles. Recent discoveries in the
state indicate that coal in large
quantities exists in that locality
at accessible points, and develop
ment is being pushed with vigor.
While this means a loss of some
immediate traffic to the railroads,
lit promises large gains in the fu-
ture. The development of the re-
sources of that state has only just
begun, and correspondingly the
present volume of railroad traffic
| therein is the only promise of
what will come in the future.

Lobsters Along Maine Coast

The shipment of Holsters from
Rockland at present doesn't seem
to indicate that the lobster is dis
appearing very fast from the
Maine waters, but that the crusta-
cean is being sent out Of Maine by
the thousands.
Twenty-Five OF thirty tons are
shipped on an average weekly
from Rockland by express to
supply the demand in the big
cities, and some seven or eight
tons are sent westward. The sea-
son of big catches is now on, and
the smack men are busy along the
coast gathering in the crusta-
ceans for the dealers.-Lewiston
