Il Will be seen from the plan that. the
lights of the three ships being eXtuguished,
the starboard limb of the allied squadron
saw a straight line Of British ships-namely
q, c., A'-conslstilg OF the Resolution. the
Repulse and the Prince George. This made
them certain OF their conjecture that the
British were advancing in two single lines.
and they accordingly proceeded 10 port
and stdrboard OF these three, In order to
attack on both brO8dsides; but expecting
not three, but four. British vessels in each
limb, the allied ships IN" and 20 went on
southwcstward to seek them.
Meanwhile. on their port side also. the
allied ships saw a straight line OF British
ships namely, A, c, consisting of the Mag
niticent and-once again-the Resolution.
Believing that this limb. too, consisted OF
four distinct ships two of which were
farther on, and not approaching the fact
that the same Resolution (C) was about to
be attacked by two OF their starboard fleet
they steamed forward. Two of their ships

ANIMAL EPICURES.
Dumb Friends That Deserve to Be
Classed With Epicures.

From the Philadelphia Record.
Do you know what that means?
Who was Epicurus2
He was Greek philosopher OF ancient
times And he was and is somewhat mis-
understood. He led a perfectly temperate
and blameless life. though his very name
has come to stand for indulgence; an cpl
cure is defined as a luxurious and dainty
eater.
The following birds and animals are des-
ignated as epicurean:
The busy bee.
The dreaded wasp.
The gray millet
The sadly hunted osprey.
The lovely hummng bird.
The long-necked giraffe.
The aard wolf of South Africa.
The ant eater. which looks like spruce
FIR cone.
The manatee which is eight feet long
and has triangular upper lip
The sperm whale. along with the other
odontoceti or toothed cettaceans, is so
called because It possesses true teeth IN
stea of whalebone.

WHAT Is MORE BEAUTIFUL THAN
MOTHERS LoyEf

Ny mother"

A mother worries are many. She
sometimes forgets her own bodily
discomforts because of her over
towering love for the child. She be-
comes broken down, sleeplesS, nerv-
Gus, irritable and feels tired from
morning until night. Many mothers
of experience can tell you that at
such time they have been relieved,
benefited and strengthened and put
into proper health by taking pre-
scription which their mothers had
told them was the best woman )
tonic and nervine to be taken at
such times. DIR. Pierce'S Favoritc
Prescription has enjoyed an envld-
bic reputation for over third OF
century In all that time it has sold
more largely in the United States
than any other tonic for woman 5
needs, and today its sales are greater
than ever. DIR. Pierce made up this
prescription from native medicinal
roots without the use of particle
of alcohol and for the single purpose
OF curing those diseases peculiar TO
women and when there is lack OF
womanly strength to bear the bur
dens of maternal duty. How few
women come to this critical time
with adequate strength. The rea-
son why SO many women sink under
the strain OF motherhood is because
they are unprepared. Is preparation
then required for motherhood asks
the young woman. And every OK
perieuced mother answers Yes. J"
Il unhesitatingly advise expectant
mothers to use Doctor Pierce's Fa-
vorite Prescription writes Mrs ].
w. g. Stephens of Mia, Va. The
reason for this advice is that DIR.
Pierce's Favorite Prescription is the
best preparative for the maternal
function. No matter how healthy
and strong a woman may be, she
cannot use 'Favorite Prescription"
as preparative for maternity with
out gain of health and comfort. But
it is the women who are not strong
who best appreciate the great bene-
fits received from the use of "Fa-
vorite Prescription" For one thing
its use makes the baby's advent
practically painless 1t has in many
cases reduced days of suffering to
brief few hours. 1t has changed
the period of anxiety and struggle
into a time of ease and comfort.
a DUTY WOMEN OWE THEMSELVES.
Good actions speak louder than
words, so, too, does the testimony
of many thousands of women dur
ing a third of a century speak louder
than mere claims not backed by any
such record of cures.

IMPRISONMENTS FOR
DEBT IN ENGLAND
Special Correspondence of The Star.

Special Correspondence of The Star
LONDON, February 9.-One of the CHEZ
topics of discussion in this country at pres
ent is a paper which Judge Parry read on
Monday before the Manchester Statistical
Society, showing the fallacy of the popular
notion that there is no such thing as i'm
prisonment for debt in England AS long
ago as 1869 act of parliament was passed
which purported to abolish imprisonment
for debt. 1t was regarded as a signal trt-
umph for John Howard Charles Dickens
and other reformers who had waged sucn
strenuous warfare against the pernicious
system. But 50 far, il seems, has the act
sailed to accomplish its purpose that at
the present time there are more men and
women lodged in British jails because they
can't pay what they owe than there We're
when John Howard began his agitation.
During the year ended March, 1903, the
number of those who were imprisoned for
debt amounted to $3.50. The vast ma
jority of them belonged to the working
classes. Most of them owed only trivial
sums. They We're consigned TO Jail on
commitments from the county courts at the
suit OF private creditors. During the same
period payment was eXtorted from over
l45,SU debtors in small amounts under d
county court threat of Imprisonment.
1t is case of one law for the rich and
another for the poor. The rich debtor no
matter what reckless eXtrayagances he may
nave INDUCED in, easily obtains relief from
his creditors by going through the bank
ruptcy court. But ohat entails the payment
OF fees entirely beyond the means of the
ordfnary wage-earner. If pressed he must
either pay up or go to Jail Judge Parry
shows that while pretending to abolish i'm
prisonment for debt there has been left in
existence system under which every small
debtors person is his creditors security
And the system has created a large class
of merciless commercial harpies who, by
promises Of easy terms and long credit ir
veigle poor people into buying things they
can't afford and for the most part don't
need, and then clap them into jail if they
do not pay up to the last penny the ex-
orbitant prices which they are invariably
charged.

There has grown up of late and more
particularly during the last five years d
huge swarm of firms who make it their
business to tempt people of small means
to get into debt. They range from big
firms doing an enormous business on more
or less honest lines down TO mushroom ad-
venturers dealing in shoddy goods by means
OF aIulfng circulars that are often no bet
ter than SW!nd4eS. But the offer TO deliver
goods on credit and take payment by in
staIiments IS the common feature OF all OF
them. There has also been during the
same period, large development of the
same class OF business among ordinary
tradeSmen. The sale of furniture on the
hire system has become almost universal
even in the case of transactions to the
amount of less than dollar. 1t has been
extended to the sale of jeWelry pianos and
musical instruments of all kinds: peram-
buiatoIs, bicycles and every variety OF
goods which the working classes now aspire
to possess. A host of drummers are con
tinually engaged in tempting both the hus-'
bands and wives of the wage-earning classes
to mortgage their earnings for weeks
months and even years in advance
This system Of credit with all its Incl
dental evils is founded upon the machinery
provided by the county courts for the re
coVery Of small debts" 1t Is the ultimate
security furnished by the con~nittaI order
which consigns the unfortunate debtor to
Jail, as Judge Parry points out, which alone

Of cases, for the man without capital or
goods. The law creates this unnatural
state of things and the inevitable result is
to destroy thrift. to encourage improvldence
to create poverty and to aggravate the
troubles Of the poor.
Judge PaTry's disclosures have made d
profound impression and his contention that
imprisonment for debt. under whatever Legal
fiction j. may be disguised, should be swept
away forever meets with powerful support
from all shades of public opinion
