What Is the Cause Of
Backache?
BY DOCTOR CORNELL

Backache is perhaps the most COM
mon ailment from which women suf-
fer. Rarely do you find anybody free
from 1t. Sometimes the cause is OBJ
scure, but DIR. Pierce, Of Buffalo, N. Y,
high medical authority, says the
cause is very often form Of catarrh
that settles In the delicate membranes
Of the feminine organs. When these
organs are inflamed, the first symp-
ing down sensations, weakness, un-
healthy discharges, irregularity, pain
ful periods, irritation, headache and
o general rundown condition. Any
woman In this condition Is to be pit
ied,. but pity does not cure. The
trouble calls for DIR. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription, which Is a separate and
distinct medicine for women.
It is made of roots and herbs put up
without alcohol or opiate of any kind, for
DIR. Pierce uses nothing else in his pre-
scription. Favorite Prescription is nat
ural remedy for women, for the vegetable
growths Of which IL Is made seem to have
been intended by Nature for that very
purpose. Thousands of girls and women,
young and old, have taken it, and thousands
have written grateful letters to DR.. Pierce
saying it made them we'll. In taking
Favorite Prescription, IL il reassuring to
know that it goes straight to the cause Of
the trouble. There is but one way to
overcome sickness, and that IL to overcome
the cause. That is precisely what Favor
ite Prescription IL intended to do.

Butterfly Farm.

An unusual farm" has been started
near Macon, France by Mr.. Andre, a
French entomologist. Mr.. Andre rails
es butterflies and silkwOrms, and so
the vegetation of his farm consists of
mulberry, oak, ash, cypress. lilac, pine,
plum, hawthorn, and other trees and
shrubs on which the caterpillars that
become butterflies live. In infancy
the butterflies are protected by being
inclosed in tulle bags which are fast
ened to the twig or branch on which
the young caterpillars are to feed; as
the caterpillars get bigger the tulle
bags are taken away, and the caterpil-
lars left free to spin their cocoons,
which are collected from the trees and
bushes very much like some strange
kind of fruit and placed in little wire
cages until the perfect butterflies
emerge. On this side the work of the
butterfly farm is commercial, but no
less important is the experimental
work of the farm with silkworms, by
which sooner or later the butterfly
farm hopes to provide the world with
silkwOrms that will produce a fine
grade of silk in a northerly climate.

Mother was always just. swell,
John hasn't fought as much as the

grandfather.
Then grandfather handed John a
half-dollar for his abstinence. The
money had its effect, and that week
there was more peace and harmony
in the household than there had been
for long time. Mother reported the
change to grandfather at the end of
the next week. And he rewarded all
alike by handing each a dime.
Half an hour later mother hap
pened to hear the boys discussing the
gift. only dime apiece" John was
scornful, land last week he gave me
a whole half-dollar. I'll tell you what

Cologne Cathedral Said to Contain the

a British army chaplain celebrated
mass recently in the great Cologne
cathedral at the altar of the relics of
the Magi, the skulls of the three wise

first they were kept in the chapel of
the Magi, the central chapel of the
seven banking the choir, but since the
war they have been put away in the
cathedral treasury, near the organ.
The bones are kept in a golden reli-
quarry, a costly specimen of Roman

1900 \. d. In the Cologne coat-of-arms

Across Siberia by Water.

The map shows northern Asia cut
off from Europe by chain of noun
tains. the Urals, that extend to the
limits of the land. Rich mineral de-
pOsits lie mainly on the eastern slopes.
The eastern watershed of these noun
tains drains toward the River Oh, one
of the three great streams of Siberia,
which, with their tributaries, consti-
tute a remarkable arrangement of
connected water courses, enabling the
people TO transport commodities and
communicate with each other by water
routes. One may cross Siberia entire
~ by means of river travel making
only two or three portages. The Yene-
sci and the Lena rivers, respectively,
open the west central and east central
regions to the Arctic ocean through
their tributaries. The Amur, in east
ern Siberia, runs toward the Pacific
ocean and affords a wonderful outlet
for farm products from the rich val
leys that it drains. Mountains on the
south in western Siberia form a nat
ural barrier against the Monaghan peO-.

'No; but your fault that he is a

suddenly shot at him in triumphant
voice:
do you happen to know one that's

lcEBERGS MANY YEARS OLD
Discoveries Have Proved That I'm.
mense Masses of Ice Keep Their
Formation a Long Time.


Some icebergs are more than zoo
years old, according to Rene Bache.
writing in the Philadelphia Public
Ledger. He gets his information from
discoveries made by the "ice patrol
of the United States coast guard.
which has been patrolling the northern
waters. Most of the bergs came from
Greenland. Snow may fall on the
crest of one of the islands mountains
II hardens and is pushed down the
slope by other falling snow. This
process may continue for centuries be-
fore the mass finally reaches the
coast and is broken off.
Icebergs are often of enormous
size, one sighted by the coast guard
steamer Androscoggin being 600 feet
long. 400 feet wide and 12O feet high
above the surface. As that portion or
the iceberg under water is much larger
than what appears above the surface
only faint idea is given of its g.
gantic size. Parts of bergs consist or
snow, and part of ice. The snow melts
first and sometimes causes hugh cavl-
ties in them, or sometimes arches
large enough for ships to pass
through. In some cases, due to the ac-
ton of the warmer waters of the At
lantic, the side of the berg is washed
away and a huge overhang appears.
This saved a ship recently that crash
ed into berg off Cape Race. Its up
per workings were damaged, but 1t
was not damaged along the water line.
When icebergs melt they usually
melt underneath first, until the berg
loses its equilibrium and turns over.
Sailors on the Androscoggin saw one
berg turn over four times in 20 min
utes.
