Every woman S heart responds to
the charm and sweetness of a
baby's voice, because nature in
tended her for motherhood. But
even the loving nature of a mother
shrinks from the ordeal because
such time is regarded as period
OF suffering and danger. Women
who use Mothers Friend are saved
much discomfort and suffering, and
their systems, being thoroughly
prepared by this great remedy, are
in healthy condition to meet the
time with the least possible suffer
ing and danger. Mothers Friend
is recommended only for the relief
and comfort of expectaut mothers;
1t is in no sense remedy for vari-
Gus ills, but its many years of

Washington Talked Horse.
" and Navy Journal.

From the Army and Navy Journal.
The disposition of the late President
Grant to talk horse was a great cause
of offense to certain prim people. If they
had consulted history they would have
learned that horse talk was also a char
acteristic of that distinguished soldier
and fine old Virginia gentleman, George
Washington by name. Il found" wrote
the artist Gilbert Stuart, that it was
difficult to interest Washington in con-
versatiOn while 1 was taking his por-
trait. began on the revolution. the bat
ties Of Monmouth and Princeton, but he
was absolutely dumb. After a while I
got on horses. l had touched the right
chord" Washington was then President
OF the United States and resided in Phila-
'delphia, where he had a stable of six and
twenty horses. He used to say that he
needed but one good quality in horse
apd that was to 90 along, for he could al
NAL could keep his legs. After the sur
render at Appomattox Grant had not a
word to say about the stirring events
through which he had just passed, but
as he sat over his campfire that night
he turned to his quartermaster and said: :
Ingalls, do you remember that old white
mule So and So used to ride In Mexico?"
or course, under the circumstances. IN
gals was prepared to remember that or
any other experience that pleased his
chief. He probably would not have cared.
however, to remember just then the disas-
trouS speculation in raising potatoes in
which he was Grants partner when they
were stationed together in Oregon.

Brazil's Coffee Policy.
,e Milwaukee Wisconsin.

From the Milwaukee Wisconsin.
Not very long ago importers of Brazil
ian coffee were purchasing that berry at
cents a pound, and now they are forced
to nay Is cents. The main reason is the
policy Of the Brazilian government which
buys a large part of the crop from the
planters and holds 1t to prevent the glut-
ting of the market.
Sooner or later Brazil will regret that
she ever entered upon this undertaking,
for it's ultimate result is sure to be the
stimulation of coffee raising elsewhere
Porto Rico and the Central American
countries can raise coffee as well as Bra
zil. The raising Of the price Of coffee in
the markets of the consuming countries
should operate to bring about increased
production i'm all the countries which are
Brazirs competitors, and to leave Brazil
some day with q large stock OF coffee on
her hands which she will find 1t dinicut
to dispose of at price that Will remu-
nerate her for having held 1t back.
Two phenomena invariably are pro-
duced by the enhancement OF the cost OF
commodity of general consumption not
absolutely essential to the support of lie.
One is the stimulation of production and
the other is the encouragement OF con-
sumption. 1t Is said that since the cost
Of coffee has been going up the use OF
II as a beverage has been falling or.
Both of these processes Of adjustment OF
supply and demand will be prejudicial to
the interests of Brazilian coffee growers.

What the devil does he mean by having
sunstroke?" is given as the classic in

HOW NOME WAS NAMED.
A Surprise to the Clerk Who Drafted
Map Of Alaskan Coast.

From the Youths Companion.
At last the mystery which has always
hung over the source and meaning of
the word Nome, the name Of the cape
and the city in Alaska, has been solved
A drafting clerk in the coast and geo.
det1c survey Office has confessed, that
he, quite Internationally, enriched
geography with this musical mono
syllable. mo one he says, was more
surprised than when saw the name
on the map. 1t happened in this way:
When the rush to Alaska took place
on the discovery of rich gold deposits
on the Klondike in the early nineties
the government found it necessary to
make more complete maps OF that
then little known country. Survey
ing parties were rushed to the field,
and as fast as their notes and plots were
sent back to Washington they were
turned over to this Office to make the of.
fetal maps. There were many parties in
continually called for by the gold
seekers. Hence for some months our
office was rushed night and day.
NOW 1T fell to my lot to draft a
map OF the Alaskan coast that runs
southeast from Boring strait The
map was to be made from the field
notes and plots sent by the surveying
| party in that district. Such notes and
| plots always contain the names OF
prominent mountains, capes, inlees and
! the like.
In making the tracing of the coast
! down from Boring. strait 1 came across
headland for which neither notes nor
plots furnished a name. Accordingly
I made pencil note at the point put
ting the word 'name?' with an inter-
| rogation point after it, thinking that
the chief. when he edited the map,
would put in the name IL it had one,
or would think up one IL it hadn't.
! In the hurry of the work and due also
to the fact, I presume, that 1 had
written the letter "a in the word name
very much like o. the matter was
passed by the revisers and my map
sent to the engravers in that shape.
"A few weeks afterward l was aston
ished. on looking over a stack OF maps
just engraved from my original, to see
this particular headland designated as
Cape Nome When shortly afterward
| gold was discovered In the vicinity and
camp established there the town took
| the name of the cape, and is called
NOME to this day.
| So there is something in a name after
ALL especially when one of the letters is
! written indistinctly.

Holy Rood Day.

Erom the London Chronicle.
Holy Rood day was formerly a festival
:or British schoolboys. who were grant,
I'd a holiday. without getting up strike.
for the purpose Of going nutting. At
Elton the boys had to write Latin verses
about the fruitfuiness of autumn OF the
cold of the coming winter before they
were allowed to gather the nuts. which
they had to share with their masters
This anniversary should inspire the city
corporation and the London county coun-
Gil to replant the nut bushes In Epping
forest and the recovered remnant Of Hal
nauIt forest. Of which they have the
management.
The hazel is supposed to have been eX-
tirpated from the royal forest of Wal
than, of which these two forests are
fragments. to prevent the tall deer
being disturbed by nuttinS parties OF
noisy apprentices from London. At pres
emit there is only one nut bush In Ep-
ping forest, and not even one in Hainault.

An attractive section of the city that
is now being rapidly built up with houses
OF moderate size, and also of moderate
price, is that which lies between 14th and
18th streets and North Carolina and
Tennessee avenues northeast. A feature
of the development is the extension of 14la
street. which now ends at c street. The
new portion is one block in length and
makes available tiers of building lots,
which are evidently in demand. for while
the grading of the street has hardly been
finished the Doud Brothers have nearly
completed a row Of houses which the

pidity.

on 18th street near E street Kennedy &
Davis have begun the erection Of a num-
Der of houses. thus marking the begin
ming of an undertaking which will end in
building up all the lots between Duncan
and + streets.
Ii has been observed by Mr.. Waring,
who is connected with the Willett &
Reinecke Co., and is therefore familiar
with existing conditions. that in spite of
the many houses built the demand still
cont nues. and as the population grows
and new people come to the city a large
proportion of them prefer to live in
houses which they own. On that account
he believes the years go on and the
rate of increase grows that 81 cores
ponding increase will be shown in the
sale of houses.

}. under such conditions than i
does to accomplish the results OF
the farm. Why then, is most O,
our best poultry raised in the
small towns or near the cities?
The range which may be given
the birds on the farm, except
perhaps during the breeding
season, is almost unlimited and
this means a variety of feed,
such as poultry require, and
ample exercise, two things most
essential to the economical pro.
duction of vigorous birds.
1t requires some knowledge to
raise good poultry and this can
only be obtained by reading and
studying the experience of others
as set down in poultry journals
or agricultural papers and in
books, and by actual experience
in the handling of the birds. In
the past this has been thought
too, small a business for the
farmer, but if that is still the idea. !
we insist that the women and
children should be given an on.
portunity to add this additional
industry to the farm. Nor would
we limit them to the production
OF eggs and the growing of birds
to be used as food; but would in.
slst that where the inclination
exists they be given a chance to
produce the best, to be sold as
breeders, or eggs to be sold for
