To such women as are not seriously out
of health, but who have exacting duties
to perform, either in the way Of house
hold cares or In social duties and func-
tions which seriously tax their strength,
as well as to nursing mothers, DIR. Pferce's
Favorite Prescription has proved most
valuable supporting tonic and invigorst-
ing nervine. By its timely use, much
serious sickness and suffering may be
avoided. The operating table and the
surgeons knife, would, 1t Is believed,
seldom have to be employed II this most
valuable woman's remedy we're resorted
to in good time. The rFavorite Prescrip-
ton" has proven great boon to expectant
mothers by preparing the system for the
coming of baby, thereby rendering child
birth safe, easy, and almost painless.
Bear in mind, please that DIR. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription is not secret or
patent medicine, against which the most
intelligent people are quite naturally
averse, because Of the uncertainty as to
their composition and harmless character,
but is MEDICINE OF KNOWN COMPOST
TON, full list of all its ingredients being
printed, in plain English, on every bottle
wrapper. An examination OF THIS llst OF
ingredients will disclose the fact that 1t is
non-alcoholic in It's composition, chemic-
ally pure, triple-refined glyceriqe taking
the place of the commonly used alcohol,
in its makeup. In this connection 1t
may not be out Of place to state that the
eFavorite Prescription" OF DIR: Pierce Is
the only medicine put up for the cure Of
ments, and sold through druggists, all
the ingredients Of which have the un-
luminous endorsement Of ell the leading
medical writer's and teachers OF all the
several schools of practice, and that too
as remedies for the ailments for which
"Favorite Prescription is recommended;
A little book of these endorsements will
be sent to any address, postpaid, and

A QUEER CALCULATION.
The Power That Would Be Required
to Move the Earth.

The Power That Would Be Required
to Move the Earth.
Statisticians sometimes have queer
ideas. One of them amused himself
by calculating how much energy, water
and coal it would take to move the
earth a foot, supposing that it was sub
Jected throughout its mass to a force
equivalent to terrestrial gravitation.
This is gratuitous supposition, for in
spite of its enormous mass the earth
weighs nothing.
Starting with the fact that the
earth's mass is about 6,100 million
million-million tons, our statistician
calculates that we should require TO-
000,000,000 years for a 10000 horse
power engine to move our globe foot
The boiler that should feed this engine
would vaporize a quantity of water
that would cover the whole face of the
globe with a layer 300 feet deep. The
vaporization of this water would re
quire 1000 million-million tons of coal
This coal, carried In cars holding tel
tons each and having a total length OF
thirty feet, would require 400 million
million cars, which would reach 80,
100000 times around the earth. This
train, moving at the rate of forty
miles an hour would take more thar
| 100000 years to travel its owl
| length. 1t would require for storage {
shed that would cover 1000 times the
area of Europe.
If we realize that this fantasticalll
huge amount of energy is nothing a
all compared with what the earth pos
sesses in virtue of its rotation about it
axis, its revolution about the sun ant
its translation in space with the sola
system, of which the earth is but al
infinitesimal part of the universe, W.
may get some idea of the Importance
Of man in the universe and estimate
his incommensurable pride at its jus
| value

TWO CHEERFUL LIARS.
A Queer Cherry Tree and a Back Ac-
ton Cannon Ball.


Mr.. Finlayson, town clerk of Stirling
In the latter part of the seventeenth
century, was noted for the marvellous

the Earl of Monteith and Airth in his
castle of Taha, on the loch of Mon

when ne was asked by the earl wheth

a thing is it?'
1T is replied the earl, "a tree that
has grown out of goose's mouth from

which she bears about with her in
voyages round the loch. 1t is just al
present in full fruit of the most exqui

Perhaps l can," said Finlayson.

Cleaning the skin.

Owing to the oiliness of the skin, It
cannot be efficiently cleansed by water
alone; hence the morning cold bath,
which is delightfully."- tonic and invigor-
ating to those with whom 1t agrees. is
delusion and snare so far as eff
Client cleansing properties are con-
cerned. The rubbing which one I'M
dergoes after the cold bath undoubted-
ly assists In the removal of the dried
secretions from the skin, but there ]
still need of some substance which will
so modify the greasy coating as o
render 1t capable of being washed Off.
Such an agent we possess in soap,
which is essentially a combination of
an alkaH (soda or potash and fat or
oil. There Is always some free alkali
IN soap, and this, when rubbed with
water on the body, unites with the oily
material of the skin and renders II
soluble. Soaps made with potash soft
or black soaps contain too much al
kali, 50 that when they are used to
wash the skin the natural oil is so
effectually removed as to leave the
skin dry and harsh and altogether too
tight" as commonly expressed, for its

Meilhac and Costly Dish That He

Meilhac and a Costly Dish That He
Did Not Eat.
Among the most absentminded of
geniuses was the French composer,
Meilhac. On the occasion of the first
presentation of one of his operas Nell
hac, in evening dress, entered a fash
ionable restaurant and threw himself
down at a table, thinking earnestly
about the event of the evening and
nothing else.
A waiter brought him a menu. Neil
hac, a man of very simple tastes in
the matter of food, abstractedly indi-
Gated with his finger the first dish on
the bill that his eye had struck. Now
1t CHANGED that this was the most elab-
crate and costly dish on the bill, and
when the waiter went to the kitchen
with the order there was in conse-
Quence great commotiOn there. The
proprietor himself was summoned, and
he and the principal chef devoted them
selves to the preparation of the famous
dish. One man was sent for this
choice ingredient and another for an
other. Meanwhile Meilhac waited, alb
sorbed.
At last the dish was brought with a
great flourish, and the proprietor, with
proud smile, stood not far away to
observe the result. When it was de-
posted in front of him Meilhac regard
ed the dish with an expression of mel.
ancholy interest.

The limited pulled out from the
station as a dash Of sleet against the
windows gave warning of the fncreas-
ing storm. Agatha shivered as she
pulled the wraps closer about her
shoulders. Somewhere out In that
swirl of sleet and snow Dick Weldon
Z was breasting the storm. his dark
face darker still with the pain that
her words had inflicted. Even so, let
him go since 1t had to be a question
of precedence between her love and
his profession. She recalled the night
that she had excused herself from her
hostess box party TO remain at home
for Weldon's call, only to sit alone in
the deserted drawing room. and he had
not even troubled to send an excuse.
That was the beginning of the end
Now her bridges were all burned and
every moment speeding her toward the
new life out there In the orient Kath-
airline Laird's Invitation to go with
them to Japan had reached her at the
crucial moment-Japan, dim, dusky
dream that all her life had lain tust
over the border of possibility, and with
Katharine and Ellis of all peoplei
Katharine wrote that the appointment
was not of sufficient Importance to
count as a political asset; therefore
they would be safe to remain there for
years
Then out of the misty premises of
the future came the memory of Wei
don's face when badly, brutally, with
out one softening note of regret, she
had told him of her plans and In the
next breath conventional farewell in
the presence of the other guests. She
had built up the wall of injured pride
all too securely, leaving no loophole for
belated explanations
The train settled down to the long
run through the open country, and the
twinkling lights of villages swept by
like fireflies through the stormy dark
ness. Loneliness engulfed her, and In
desperation she sought refuge in her
: berth, to lie, open eyed, all the sleep
less night. while the certainty of her
folly beat in upon her. clearer with
each succeeding hour.
Morning found them far out on the
deal level of the prairies. with the
snow coming down with undated en-
ergy. The engine fought its way
through the drifts, but at last the big
wheels stood still. Agatha woke up
to the fact that something was wrong
when the men began to file out of the
car. Then a man came down the
aisle and stopped at her seat.
"Dick! Dick Weldon!' She was on
her feet, both hands Outstretched and
all grievances forgotten In the glad
revulsion of feeling. If he had noticed
the joy in face and voice, he made no
sign as he dropped into the vacant
seat.
I'VE are snowbound and may have
to spend the rest of the day here until
the pillow comes to our relief"
The matter of fact tone put confusion
to flight and gave Agatha time to find
herself while he ran on with an easy
flow of commonplace.

thrown away $4,000. The son of a
wealthy family in Yorkshire, he went
into the army. but soon became distin-
guished by his gambling propensities.
He ruined himself and had to leave his
regiment. Some time ago while living
in garnet news was brought to him
that he had been left $4,000. There
was a condition attached to the lega-
cy-that the money was to Immediately
pass to another person, named in the
will, if the legatee was ever found

scalds it thoroughly after using, and gives
it sun bath to sweeten it. She knows
that if her churn is sour it will faint the
butter that is made in it. The stomach is
a churn. In the stomach and digestive
and nutritive tracts are performed pro-
cesses which are exactly akin to the churn-
ing of butter. 1t is not apparent then
that if this stomach churn is ''sour'' it
sours all which is put into it, The evil
of foul stomach is not the bad taste in
the mouth and the foul breath caused by
it, but the corruption of the pure current
of the blood and the dissemination of dis
ease throughout the body Dr. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery makes the sour
stomach sweet. 1t does for the stomach
what the washing and sun bath do for the
churn- absolutely removes every tainting
or corroding element. Golden Medical
