Healthy Woman Cannot Be Overestimated.

Seven-sighths of the
men in this world marry
. woman because she Is
beautiful in their eyes
because she has the quail
ties which inspire admira-
ton, respect and love.
There Is a beauty In
health which L. 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 q disappointment,
then, 10 see the fair young
wife's beauty fading away
before a year passes over
her headl A askly, half
dead-and-alive woman,
especially when she L.
the mother of a family,
Is a damper to all joyous
ness in the home, and q

The cost of q wife's con-
slant illness Is q serious
drain upon the funds of q

Are You Engaged ?

Engaged people should remember,
that, after marriage, many quarrelS can
be avoided, by keeping their digestions
in good condition with Electric Bitters.
S. A. Brown, of Bennettsville, S. c.,
says "For years, my wife suffered in
tensely from dyspepsia, complicated
with torpid liver, until she lost her
strength and vigor, and became a mere
wreck of her former self. Then she
tried Electric Bitters, which helped her
at once, and finally made her entirely
well. She is now strong and healthy.

Pay Dividends.

Paint is as important on house
as insurance. Fires and cyclones
are rare, but the wear Of wind and

Wood and other building materi-

paint. Besides, paint improves the
appearance and increases the value
of any building. There are many

Charles Christian, / years old, was
roasted alive in Hannibal, Mo-, the
other night by another boy named
McLain, who dashed can Of gasoline
over the clothes of young Christian
and then applied a lighted match.
Christian was playing in the street
with several other boys when McLain
walked up swinging a gasoline can.
After twice threatening to roast the
Christian boy alive he finally made
his word good. He unscrewed the
cap of the can, rushed upon Christian
and drenched him from head to foot
with gasoline. Before the unfortu-
nate lad could get away he touched a
lighted match to his trousers. In
stantly the boy was enveloped in
flames. He fell to the ground scream
ing in agony and fighting the fire.
Many persons ran to his rescue and
succeeded in extinguishing the flames.
Every stitch Of clothing was burned
from young Christians back. The
boy will die.

As We wander over the hill and through the dale,
As the bird, sing Sweetly overhead,
And the wind blows through The leaves,
Carrying such sweet music TO the ear
What IS more beautiful than nature?
How we hear the thrush hopping hither and thither
in the bushes,
How as we stand upon lonely hilltop.
Behind some evergreen bushes,
We see giant chestnut with its mighty branches
Covering the ground around
What is more beautiful than naturcg
And upon one of its mighty boughs
There sit two trlsky squirrels playing.
Reminding Of the dear children at home;
Now move along we molly cotton tail

We are thinking Of returning home:

OF which is only broken by the note Of the Whip

DURING the past week a number of
counties reported their land assess
ments to Commissioner Dillon, and
some enormous increases are shown.
Monongalia countys old assessment
was 94,795,0l9, the new is ST., 1903.
9l5; Ohio county and the city of
Wheeling are increased from $l9,O22,-
$50 in 1904 to $40, 49,, $50 this year :;
in 1904 Mason county's assessment
was $3.50, 978, this year it is SOIL
l72; Wetzel county was $3,O14,O9l
last year, and this year it is increased
to $l0,565,0l9; Barbour county is
1851 IA this year, as against ST.
1904 last year.
The inference is inevitable that
there has been a vast deal of tax
lodging in West Virginia, and the
new assessment, so far as it equalizes
values and catches all properties,
must be good thing.

Shot Down Danish Flag.

In view of the purchase of the Dan fish West Indies, pardon me for re- calling an incident of twenty odd years ago that nearly caused ser- ous international complications. An American marksman, paying visit to Charlotte Amalia, amused the Gov ernor by an exhibition of skill with the rifle. Sitting on the veranda of the government house, he said he could cut with bullet the signal hal yards on the flagstaff of the fort, and lower the Danish standard to the ground As the lines were almost in visible in the distance, the Governor was willing to bet that he could not do it. The shot rang out and the flag fell.
 Presently a horseman dashed up, informing the Governor that some one had fired on the flag There was great excitement. The Governor, none too popular, it seems. with the military, ruined his political future by admit ting that the affair was joke in which he connived. Report being sent to Copenhagen, highly colored, of course, by the commandant, His Ex- cellency was summarily removed New York Press.

Names of the Coal Regions

For the benefit of d number of Pennsylvanians who appear to be very much confused, the Inquirer takes Oc- casion to say that the Lehigh coal region does not take it's name from the fact that it is in Lehigh county. Lehigh county isn't in the Lehigh coal region at all, nor is there any anthra cite coal in that county. It became known as such because the Lehigh Valley Railroad was, when it was named, the only road tapping the re- zion, and because the road in ques- tion ran through the valley for which it was named. Nor was the Wyoming region so called because it was situ- ated in Wyoming County, or even be- cause that county formed part of the region. It was so called because it lay chiefly in the Wyoming Valley. All of which only proves again that more local history should be taught in our public and private schools.-Phil- adelphia Inquirer.

Black SnOw.

There was a fall of "black snow" about Coire, in the Swiss Canton of the Grisons, recently. The ground was covered with snow, which was sud denly transformed into jet black. This was owing to the sudden falling upon the country of enormous swarms of a small black insect without wings, but provided with two long legs that permit him to move like grasshop- per. They come in such clouds that the inhabitants call them "black snow."

Locksmith Opens the Door.

A German locksmith in Harlem had a call one night recently from q young man who said that he'd lost his keys and wanted to get into his house quietly. The locksmith went with the young man to house near by and set to work on the lock.
 "There's no use of my hanging around" said the young man. "Pm going to the corner for a drink. When you get through whistle"
 The German stuck to his task, and in ten minutes he had the way clear. Then he whistled.
 The young man came up. The lock- smith said he wanted $2 for his work. He was told to come around in the morning. As he knew some of the occupants of the house, he consented. The young man walked into the house and the German went home.
 Next morning he went around for his money. The house was full of cops. He stayed long enough to hear that the house had been footed, and then made tracks for his shon-New York Sun.
