EDMANDS' BODY FOUND.
Discovered Four Miles North Of Wah-
peton, North Dakota.

Wahpeton, n. d., April 2l.-The body
of Rev. r. NJ Edmands of this city, who
disappeared on Dec. 81 1905, was found
in the Red river about four miles north
af this city at eleven o'clock last night
by two men.
The body was unacceptable, but was
identified by the clothing. His watch
was still in the pocket, and had stop
ped at 1925, which was about the time
he was supposed to have been drowned
The water went down about a foot
yesterday and exposed the body, which
had lodged in sand in shallow water
about fifteen feet from the shore.
The discovery of the body clears up
a mystery, as some skeptical persons
had doubts of the drowning, though ev-
erything pointed to it as the solution of
his sudden disappearance.
Mrs. Edmands is at Island Pond, VT.
and the body will be sent there.

the masculine thought, women need

gives her great concern because she
feels that she must save and econo-

OF economy, in a moment of reckless
extravaganza she'll buy a lot of dear,
delightful things, have her fingers

take fascinating trips here and there.

won't, either. She'll spend joyously

Healthy Skin.

There is a great difference between
a healthy skin, glowing and flushing
with life and emotion, and a made-up
complexion Of rouge and paints as
there is a pronounced difference be-
tween a real rose and a rose and a
cambria one. If you will observe, you
will see that your skin is a reflection
of the state of your health. When you
have rested and feel well the cheeks
are glowing, the eyes bright and the
spirits soaring. Late hours and illness
show at once by bringing to the face a
sallow' and a drawn expression. A sim
pie line OF treatment is to obey the
rules of hygiene, to battle the face
every night with warm water, a COM
plexion brush and some pure soap,
rinsing, drying and rubbing In creme
marquise or orange flower skin food.
Upon arising in the morning, dash
cold water over the face and dusA the
skin with a good powder. A cream
should always be used after ones
countenance has been exposed to wind

surmounted by the Turkish tarboosh;
kindly eyes, dulled a little by age,

Inc Gala is a very satisfactory
mower to grow In the shade. It's great,

added the pure white beauty OF the

To grow it well the air must never
be dry and warm enough to exhaust
the vitality of the plant. Fresh air
should be admitted daily, and the
Temperature of the room should be
kept low.
Begonias are particularly adapted
TO a sunless window and bloom with
great profusion.
The rubber plant does well in the
shade. So will nearly all of the

The best ferns for the sunless win

A nervous, irritable mother, often on
the verge of Mysteries, is unfit to care
for children ; it ruins a child's DISPOSE
ton and reacts upon herself. The
trouble between children and their
mothers too often is due to the fact
thatthe mother has some female weak
ness, and she is entirely unfit to bear
the strain upon her nerves that govern
ing children involves; it is impossible
for her to do anything calmly.
The ills of women act like a firebrand
upon the nerves, consequently nine
tenths OF the prostration, ner-
ous dependency, the blues" sleep
lessness. and nervous irritability of
women arise from some arrangement
of the female organism.
Do you experience fits of depression
with restlessness, alternating with
extreme irritability? Are your spirits
easily affected, SO that one minute you
laugh, and the next minute you feel
like crying?
Do you feel something like a ball ris-
ingSin your throat and threatening to
choke you; all the senses perverted,
morbidly sensitive TO light and sound !;
pain in the abdominal region, and
between the shoulders; bearing-down
pains; nervous dyspepsia and almost
continually cross and snappy?
If SO, your nerves are in a shattered
condition, and you are threatened with
nervous prostration.
Proof is monumental that nothing in
the world is better for nervous prostra-
ton than Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound; thousands and thou
sands of women can testify to this fact.

Why Music Attracts Spiders.

1t has often been said that spiders
are fond of music, but a French inves.
tigator, M. Lecaillou, now asserts that
this is not true. He says that their
musical sense must be attributed
merely to greed or to hunger. When
a fly Is caught In a spiders web 1t
buzzes, and the spider Immediately
makes for the place from which the
buzzing comes. M. Lecaillou, by ex.
perimenting with a violin, some flies,
a piano, v%ioloncello and a cornet,
found that only those musical sounds
which resembled the buzzing of the
flies attracted the spiders. The corpet,
for Instance, invariably frightened 1t.
and SO did the piano.
