old United Presbyterian kirk at Sa-

a good story about a former minister.
His name was the Rev. David Cav,
and he was very diminutive, standing
only about five feet two inches. He
led to the altar a strapping, handsome
lass some five or six inches taller than
he, and her name was Grace Wilson.
THE Sunday after the wedding he
got q neighbOring minister to preach
for him, so that he could sit with his
bride on the first Sunday. The minis
ter was a good deal of a wag, so Mr..
Cav made him promise faithfully that
he would not allude in his sermon TO
himself, his bride or the fact of the
marriage. SO he promised that in his
sermon he would make no allusion of
that kind whatever. but Mr.. Cav near

text was given Out-Ephesians iii, S.

Women's Dress and Women's Homes.
On a morning walk an Englishwoln-
an said to the writer in one of our
western cities especially given over
to the national passion for dress: 'Any
countrywoman of mine dressed as that
woman is, or that, would be in her car
riage She would return to a substan-
tial home, The door would be opened
by a man IN livery, every item of her
environment would match the elegance
of those furs, that frightfully ex.
pensive hat, that very smart broad
cloth walking suit, whereas the
chances are you see I've been keeping
my eyes OPEN that she came in a
street car and will go home in one. She
lives either in tiny lOdgings-I beg your
pardon, fat-and will open her front
door with a pass key, or else she
lives in one of the suburban towns in
a very trumpery sort of little house
which does not in the least match
those furs or that hat. And a sloven-
ly 'slavey' attends the door when she
rings for admittance"-
''Or, what is much more likely, her
daughter or her MOTHER" added the
American.-Anna A. Rogers in Allan
tic.

TO such women as are not seriously out

tolperforA, either in the way of house

tidQSA WHICH seriously tax their strength,
as weHaSt to nursing mothers, DR.. Pierce's
Favorite PAecrfption has proved most
valuable sup3Srting tonic and invigorat-

serious sickness and suffering NAV be
avoided. The operating table and the

valuable Wonlan,S- r2medY were -reSnrte1

mothers by preparing the system for the
coming of baby, thereby rendering child
birth safe, easy, and almost painless.
Bear in mind, please that DR.. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription is not a 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 a MEDICINE OF KNOWN COMPOST
TON, a. full list of all its ingredients being
printed, in plain English, on every bottle
wrapper. An examination of this list of
ingredients will disclose the fact that it is
nOn-alcoholic in its composition, chemic-
ally pure, triple-refned glycerine taking
the place of the commonly used alcohol,
in its makeup. In this connection it
may not be out of place to state that the
"FavOrite Prescription of DIR. Pierce is
the only medicine put up for the cure of
wOman'S peculiar weaknesses and all
