s rendered by the natives. A story is
told of one resident who was thrown
out Of his dogcart while descending
hill. He had barely recovered from
the stunning fall when he caught sight
Of his secretary-who had been follow
ing In his own carriage-coming bound
Ing down the steep road like big in

resident" sputtered the fat little sec

Women Who Wear Well.

1t Is astonishing how great change q
lew years OF married life often make in
the appearance and disposition of many
women. The freshness, the charm, the
brilliance vanish like the bloom from a
peach which is rudely handled. The
matron Is only dim shadow, faint echo
OF the charming maiden. There are two
reasons for this change, ignorance and
neglect. Few young women appreciate
the shock to the system through the
change which comes with marriage and
motherhood. Many neglect to deal with
the unpleasant pelvic drains and weak
nesses which too often come with mar
riage and motherhood, not understanding
that this secret drain is robbing the cheek
OF Its freshness and the form of its
fairness.
As surely as the general health suffers
when there is arrangement of the health
OF the delicate womanly organs, so surely
when these organs are established in
health the face and form at once witness
to the fact in renewed comeliness. Nearly
million women have found health and
happiness in the use of DR.. Pierce's Fa-
vorite Prescription. 1t makes weak wom-
en- strong and sick women well. Ingredi-
ents on label-contains no alcohol or
harmful habit-forming drugs, made
wholly of those native, American, medic
inal roots most highly recommended by
leading medical authorities of all the sew
eral schools OF practice for the cure of
woman's peculiar ailments.
For nursing mothers, or for those broken
down in health by too frequent bearing of
children, also for the expectant mothers,
TO prepare the system for the coming of
baby and making it's advent easy and
almost painless, there is no medicine quite
so good as "Favorite Prescription" 1t

with, and so they went away and be-

feels very sorry that she was 80 cum

Aucti0neers In Enxlnud.

The auctioneers of the United King

familiar institutions in ancient Rome.

to have been held about 100, when
Elisha Yale, governor of Fort George
(Madras). put up for sale his trophies
Of the east, and, although auction"
was defined in 1878 as "a making a

QUEER LIZARDS.
These Have the Power of Spoutng


These Have the Power of Spouting
Blood From the Eyes.
That certain lizards have the power
to emit a stream of blood from their
eyes has been tradition of the south
west from time out of mind, but many
scientists have claSSed it with the jew
Ell in the toad's head and the hoop
snake Raymond Lee Ditmars, curator
Of reptiles in the New York Geological
society, made exhaustive research to
ascertain what foundation in fact, IL
any, there is in the tradition of the
blood spouting lizards. He had nearly
made up his mind that it was purely
mythical when he came upon a star
fling demonstration of it's truth. He
had receivedsa particularly fine speei-
men Of the Mexican horned lizard and
after photographing it proceeded to
measure it. The result he tells in his
Reptile Book"
The latter process" he says, seem
ed to greatly excite the creature. 1t
finally threw the head xlightly up
ward, the neck became rigid, the eyes
bulged from the sockets, when there
was distinct sound like that pro-
duced if one pressed the tongue
against the roof of the mouth and
forced a small quantity Of air forward.
This rasping sound, consuming but the
fraction of second, was accompanied
by jet of blood at great pressure.
cit hit the wall four feet away at
the same level as that of the reptile.
The duration of the flow of blood ap-
peared to be about one and half
seconds, and toward it's termination
the force gradually diminished, as
noted by course of drops down the
wall and along the floor to position
almost under the spot where the rep
tile had been held. The stream of
blood seemed to be as fine as horse
hair and to issue from the eyelid,
which was mOmentarily much swollen.
For some time after the perform
ance the eyes were tightly closed, and
nothing could induce the lizard to open
them. Within two minutes after it
was placed on the ground the protrud-
ing aspect Of the eyeballs and the
swelling of the eyelids had disap-
peared.
Most surprising was the amount Of
blood expended. The wall and floor
showed a course of thickly sprinkled
spots about one-eighth of an inch in
diameter. There were 1O3. of these
spots - Philadelphia North american.

brain, though Astounding in
vigor, is sensitive and very
sensitive and very susceptible
to injury, and this to such a
degree, that a brief moderate

and efficiency of the brain for
life. This is not preaching,

Rich Without Money.

Many a man is rich with
out money. Thousands of
them with nothing in their
pockets, and thousands with
out even a pocket, are rich.
A man born with a good
sound Institution, a good
stomach, a good heart and
good limbs and a pretty good
head-piece, is rich. Good
bones are better than gold,
tough muscles than silver,
and nerves that fash fire and
carry energy to every func-
ton, are better than houses
and land. It is better than
landed estate to have had the
right kind of a father and
mother. Good breeds and
bad breeds exist among men
as really as among cattle and
horses. Education may do
much to check evil. tenden-
cies, or to develop good ones,
but it is a good thing to in
herit the right proportion of
faculties to start with. That
man is rich who has a flavor
of wit and fun in his compost
ton. The hardest thing to
get along with in this life is
a mans own self. A cross
selfish fellow, a responding
and complaining fellow, a
timid, care burdened man,
these are all born deformed
on the inside. Their feet
may not limp, but their
thoughts do. A man of for
tune on the brink Of the grave
would gladly part with every
dollar TO obtain a longer
lease of life.

The good old days are gone. In these
heather times railroad men are paid

rious travels c. f. Carter writes in the
American Magazine as follows:
"a metal coin rack crammed to the
muZZle with three denominations of
yellow boys, f1anked with silver, and
on the desk behind it a very large
wooden tray, on which were long col
umns of yellow coins-d'ye ever see
anything so pretty in all your life
No wonder your eyes stuck out until
you could have used them for hat
pegs.
And all the time an eXquiSitely mu-
steal 'tinkle, tinkle, clink-clink welled
up from coin rack and counter in re-

almost tainted as your rowing eye
stared down the barrel of a monstrous
revolver. 1t was only in rack, but it
was within easy reach of the paymas-
ter's hand and most eloquent for all

Winchesters lying on tables and set
tees came in strong on the chorus,

Power of the Waues.

The power Of waves, says M. Brou-
min in La Nature, is the sum of two eff
forts, one dynamic and due to the or
bital movement Of the water particles,
the other static and dependent on the
height Of the center of gravity Of the
mass raised above its normal position.
Theory and observation seem to show
that the total power of waves is divid-
ed equally between these static and
dynamic effects. If body sef water
meets the wall of structure there is a
shock, and this is most violent at the
water surface, diminishing with the
depth. At the moment of meeting jets
of water rise sometimes to very great
heights 4
