It "is a boon that <_J C-N» Heaven intended should be granted to every woman. Thousands fail of this because they have neglected to look after their health in a womanly way. The health of a woman s babies is dependent upon her own health during the period of prospective maternity. The prospective mother cannot be too particular about her physical condition. If she suffers from local weakness, nervousness or loss of vigor and virility, her children will be weak, puny and sickly. Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription is the only unfailing cure for all weakness and disease of the delicate and important organs that bear the brunt of maternity. It makes these organs strong, healthy, vigorous, virile and elastic. It makes the prospective mother strong and cheerful. It robs maternity ot its perils. It insures a baby constitutionally strong. It is the invention of an eminent and skillful specialist, who has had thirty years' training in this particular branch, during which time he and his staff of physicians have prescribed for many thousands of women Medicines dealers sell it and an honest dealer will not urge upon you an inferior substitute merely for the little added profit he may make thereon.

THE EGOIST. 1 am the weathercock Listen, good people. Listen to me! Proudly replaced me here high on my steeple, , King of the air and prince of the sea! I am the lord of the winds that blow Round the compass and high and lew! When I swing to the east, it blows from ftie east, 1 call and call Till the storm rack drives o'er the moaning sand. And the rain lash scourges the shivering land. And the good must splits in the shrieking squall. And I did it all—l did it all! When I swing to the north, it blows from the north. I call and call Till it blears the lake with a film of ice And whitens your autumn paradise. And you trudge to church to y. ur knees in snow, Poor little that flock below To worship me on my steeple tall, For I did it all—l did it ail! When I swing to the west, it blows from the west. Hurrah for my westing wind! There is health and life for the world and his wife When I feel in a rollicking mind. Oh. the steer is glad as he grides the earth With the share of the wallowing plow. And the plowman dreams of the husking s mirth. The shocks and the bursting mow! Oh. the wind is true to its master's call. For I did it al;—I did it alii When 1 swing to the scath. it blows from the south. And Tom stele a kiss from Prue, And Hob bussed Kate on her red, rod mouth | Because the south wind blew! Oh. hearts grow kind in the u arm south wind. With the toys an : the girls at play. And many s the wedding that would not have beta Ead the wind blown a different way! Thus I ! c!d the v ( rid m my gracious tbrail. Fur Id; . it til—l did it all! —JgLI Mowatt in New York Times. A COURT MARTIAL. g General Gcmcz and several officers of bis staff were taking their after dinner nap—"siesta” is the Spanish word for it—when there was a commotion in the thick chaparral between them and the narrow, rugged road which ran all the way from the mountains to the western coast of Cuba. The thorny underbrush was pulled and tossed about until the billowy surface seemed to be swept and lashed by a . storm. Pedro, the watchful sentinel who was guarding the sleeping general and his 1 companions, clutched his rifle with a firmer grip. He knew that a struggle was going on in those tangled bashes and vines, and the men who were headed in his direction might be either friends or foes. “Quien sabe?” was Pedro's low voiced comment, after his keen eyes had taken in the situation. The noise f the scuffle or skirmish in the chaparral suddenly died away, and the sentinel heard only an occasional oath, but the m< vmg tops of the bushes warned him that the strangers were approaching him. “They swear like the pious defenders of our holy cause,” said Pedro, "but that is no sign. There are Spanish devils who can outswear the Cubans, and even the pig dog Yankees have learned the trick. Carrajo is a word which will soon belong to all languages. ” Perhaps it would be well to awaken the general. Gomez was with a small scouting party, and after tneir hurried dash into the enemy’s territory the tired troopers were enjoying their first nap in a week. While the s ldier was considering the matter his commander solved the prob lem f r him. The rebel general has a way of sleeping with one eye open, and his little catnaps are easily disturbed. “What is it, Pedro?" The vigilant guard quietly t >!d his wakeful general alon; tne movements and suspicious m ises in the chaparral. By this time all ct the officers ..nd soldiers, some 30 or m ire. were wide awake and ready with their weapons ta resist an attack or make a dasii into tiie forest. "Captain Vando and his men are to meet us here," said Gomez, “and it is about time. The only Spaniards in tu:.vicinity are dead ones. Their friends

did not even bury them when they left last week. You may rest assured that Vando is the man who has broken our siesta.” With a rush and a swish a dozen men plunged out of the bushes into the comparatively open space occupied by the general and his followers. Their faces and their uniforms were unmistakably Cuban, and Captain Vando and his commander lost no time in embracing each other in the most affectionate fashion. The newcomers had with them a fettered prisoner—a tall man with a dark, stern face, who wore the uniform of a Spanish captain. Gomez look.d at him curiously as he listened to a whispered report from Vando. Then he frowned and his eyes flashed fire. “Carrajo!” he hissed between his teeth. "A good days work, Vando. I’ll not forget it. ” The Spaniard in the captain's uniform said nothing, but looked about him with a haughty stare. "What can we do for Captain Lopez?" asked General Gomez, with a pleasant smile. “Release me. restore my weapons and my horse,” said the prisoner "I was on a peaceful mission, visiting a sick friend, when your men ambushed me on the road. They have treated me with great indignity, but let that pass. Give me my liberty and 1 promise to say nothing of your movements in this district.” “It gives me great pain to refuse your request.” replied Gomez courteously, "but we have given your case our careful consideration for the past six months, and the main object of our recent scouting expeditions was to capture you. You see. captain, you are not an ordinary guerrilla. You have a gang of the worst cutthroats and robbers in all Cuba. You have never met us in a fair tight All of your work is done in the dark. You destroy the homes of peaceful farmers, murder and rob wounded prisoners, assault helpless women, and Captain Vando reports that when you were captured you had on your person the watch and the handkerchief of a Red Cross nurse, a young woman who was outraged and murdered by you and your ruffians two nights ago.” “It is a lie.” shouted the Spaniard. "I found the handkerchief in the road —the watch I bought from, a soldier. ” i “Mistakes will occur in wartimes.” answered Gomez calmly, "and I may be mistaken now. but I am willing to swear to the truthfulness of Vando’s report. ” "I must go with you, then, and be tried by court martial, I suppose?” said Lopez. "You will be tried by court martial,” responded the general smilingly. "Your trial is in progress now. This is a court martial, and it is formal and orderly enough considering the fact that we are in the enemy's country, liable to be killed at any moment by your ambushed robbers. Yes. captain, this is a court martial, and from what I know of your record, together with Vando’s report, the only thing to be done is to pronounce and execute the sentence of the court. Bind him to that tree!” Two stalwart Cubans dragged the Spaniard to a tree and quickly bound him so that he could not move. “This is murder.” said the prisoner, “and you will suffer for it. ” “War is a bad thing,” remarked the general softly, with a sad look in his big black eyes, “and murder is a part of it. I lie awake nights mourning over the terrible things we find it necessary to do, but they have to be done all the same. Any messages, captain?” “No, curse you. I would not trust a to you.”' was the excited an swer. “Hear him!” said Gomez, turning to his comrades. “This man is evidently not a gentleman. He is unpardonably rude. Would you like to pray, captain?' The prisoner pulled at his bonds and broke out with a torrent of profanity. “Rope or bullet?” snappedfte Cuban grimly. “Bullet, curse you!” “Very well, just to please you: but you deeerve the rope, ” said the other. “My body!” interrupted Lopez "Will yen see that it is sent to Havana?" “I beg your pardon.” said Gomez, “but you are asking too much. We must leave this spot at once. Time’s up Adi os!” The general stepped aside with a wave cf his hand. The Spanish captain held his head erect, facing his fata scowling and defiant. The firing squad which had been detailed f r the werk stepped forward, and when their rifles rang out the prisoner's in ad fell back. Every bullet had pierced his heart The Cubans brought their horses from the surrounding bushes and mounted in some haste. “bhall we bury him?” asked Vanda. I “Did he bury the murdered Red Cross nurse?” was the question asked in return by the commander. "No. general. He left her body to the vultures. ” “What a devil!” the other muttered. “Forward, men! Here we go!” and the raiders rode off through the forest, leaving the corpse of the guerrilla tied to the tree waiting for the vultures!— Wallace P Reed in Atlanta Constitution.

THE HOUSEHOLD. Evolution In American Cookery — A Hanging Portfolio— Georgia Waffles. Quick as are Americans in nearlv every other respect, they are slow t learn in matters of the kitchen. They have never fully grasped the fact that the food which was altogether suitable tc the men who hewed down trees, plowed laud and reaped grass and grain and for the women who washed and ironed, spun and wove and led lives of unremitting and active toil is not that demanded by the bodily and mental frames of the men and women who sit at desks or bend over typewriters or sewing machines all day long. In the one case a food is required that will produce physical heat and force, strengthen muscles and renew the fleshy tissues that are consumed in the daily labor. In the other is exacted nourishment for the nerves, brain sustenance, a diet that will supply the waste iu those portions of the organism upon which comes most strain. Precisely because of a failure to appreciate this distinction are Americans. as a nation, sufferers from dyspepsia. indigestion and nervous diseases in their myriad forms. With all the common sense tor which they are justly noted for many years they failed to perceive that prevention is better than cure and to go back of the result in search for the cause. Even now. when the cooking teachei is abroad, there are not lacking conservatives who sneer at the modern modes and class all innovations as French fads. In a large number of cases they frankly do not like the change and pre fer the dishes to which they have always been accustomed. Nevertheless the fresh influence is beginning to make itself felt. The best is being gleaned from the culinary wisdom of other nations, and the practices thev have tried and proved good are mating themselves a place in the United States. The light breakfasts in place cf the heavy early meal, the luncheons and dinners served in several c rnrses instead of in two or three, the sav ry entrees and made dishes a- a variation upon the eternal roast and boiled, the growing taste for salad.- and skill in then preparation, the delicate disserts that have largely superseded heavy pies and puddings, the afternoon tea with its simple refreshments that has taken ti e position once accorded to the formal reception with its set supper, are all the results of the grafting < t foreign modes upon the sturdy American colonial stock. The new shoots have already attained a promising growth, and the fruit thereof is pleasant t the taste ano excellent to the digest; n.—Christine Terhune Herrick in Harper s Bazar.

A Hanging Portfolio. A moral decoration that is as useful as it is ornamental is a hanging port folio made of repousse leather, direc- j I h I i I'! 11 < j£C~ A_- " — -r I \\// •- // | FOB PHOTOGRAPHS AND PAPERS. tions for the stamping of which can easily be obtained from any testbook on the subject. The portfolio is fastened to the wall by a pretty arrangement of red, white or dark blue narre w girthing ft stened together at each angle with . a saddler s rosette. A portfolio of this kind is particularly convenient for large photographs, or for illustrated papers, or in fact anything that is not easily disposed of. Georgia Waffles. Whoever has once been fortunate enough to eat Georgia waffles prepared 1 by one of the good old mammy cooks of that state will rank them "far above the rest" of the wafi* fraternity. Tie eggs, one pint cf flour. 1 ; , cupfuls of j milk or cream, butter the size cf a walnut and a saltspoonful of salt are the requisite ingredients, to which may be added a scant teaspoonful f baking powder if one wishes to make assurance of lightness doubly sure. Mix the baking powder—if used —and the salt well in tne flour by sifting and rut in the butter. Beat the eggs thoroughly, add to the milk, then to the flour and beat again until about the consistency of rather thin paste. Have the waffle irons very hot and well greased and bake im mediately. Serve with butter, sirup or honey. Uses cf Nasturtiums. A ted of bright nasturtiums is a constant delight from various points ■ ! view. While always ornamental, tbs nasturtium leaves, bios.- ms and seeds are appttizingly edible as well. The leaves, sprinkled lightly with salt ano spread between thin slices of bread am! butter, are among the daintiest cf sandwiches for the picnic basket or the afternoon tea. The blossoms are delicious in a salad with a French dressing, while the seeds gathered when small and green, before the inner kernel has become hard, are admirable substitutes for capers or a welcome addition to any mixed pickle.

Wonderful Figure. One of the most marvelous workmen in the world is Hananuma Ma-aki.hi of Tokyo, who has carved a tigniem wood so like hints: !f that when the two are placed side by -ide it is said to be almost impossible t tell which lives and breathes and which does not. Bv several connoisseurs in art wooden figure has been pronounced the most perfect and human image of man ever made. Masakiehi ha- faithfully reproduced every scar, vein and wrinkle to be seen on his own body. The figure is composed of 2.000 pieces of wood, dovetailed and jointed with such wonderful skill that no seams can be detected. Tinv boles were drilled for the reception of hairs, aud the wooden figure has glass eves aud eyelashes in which no dissimilarity to Masakichi'sowu can be detected. The Japanese artist posed between two mirrors while modeling this figure, and fer some time after its completion he posed frequently beside it. to the confusion of spectators, who were often entirelvat a loss as to which was the artist. The figure stands with a little mask in one hand and an instrument for carving in the other. The lifelike eyes are apparently gfzing at the mask, aud the face wears a look of intense absorption. The Opium Cannot*. “Well. now. can you, from your extensive experience, give us your opinion as to the state of Chinese opinion in re gard to the opium habit, looking at the state of things not only among the working classes, but also the merchants, the literati, the official classes, and also c-an you tell us what you saw during vour sojourn in the interior whfch would give you an opportunity of forming an opinion as to how the Chinese regard this question?” "As regards Chinese popular opinion in respect to the opium habit, it is decidedly against it There is a common Cantonese saying which sums up rather appositely 'the ten canuots’ with regard to the opium sot It says. 'First, give upthe habit: second, enjoy sleep; third, wait for his turn when sharing his pipe with his friends: fourth, rise early: fifth, be cured if sick; sixth, help relations in need; seventh, enjoy wealth, eighth, plan anything: ninth, get credit, even when an old customer: tenth, walk any long distance,' That, 1 think, sums up the popular view of the Chinese with regard to the opium habit, ” —Opium Commission Report. How Galvin Caught Ward Sapping. “There never was a pitcher in this country who could excel old Jimmy Galvin in catching base runners napping,” said Jack Crooks. "I remember seeing the oid fellow catch the foxiest base runners in the country asleep off the tags with the quickest kind of a motion. There was one occasion when ‘Gavie’ played a star trick of this kind on Johnny Ward. The Pittsburgs were playing the New Yorks, and the score was very close, in favor of the former. The New Yorks bad two men on bases, and Ward at the bat, with two out. Galvin signaled to George Millet to step to one side of the plate aud deliberately gave four tails to Ward. Johnny trotted to first, and the next instant Galvin i caugut him napping, big Beckley blocking him off. It was a put up job, aud old ‘Gavie’ didn't do a thing to Lawyer j Ward but laugh at him all the way tc the bench. It was a feather in the oid • man's cap. for Ward at that time was the star base runner of the League. ” — New York Sun. Fell of Baslnea*. Tne following old time handbill issued near Lancaster, England, must have come from one who was emulating i the example of the man who had five I talent* and made of them five talents more. Let us hope he was rewarded: "James Williams, parish clerk, sex-1 ton, town crier and bellman, makes and . sells ell sorts haberdasheries, groceries.

The bill poster of Paris is a more picturesque personage than his brother of New York. He plies his trade in all l winds and weather, and he is nothing daunted by the assignment cf a bleak suburban district on a rainy day. He ties his posters—incased in a waterproof cover—across his back. He fastens on his paste pot. He mounts his bicycle. Then he opens his umbrella—for he is an expert wheelman aud can manage it and his wheel at once. All over the umbrella are advertisements in little form cf the article or the event which be intends to advertise in large by his posters, so his entire route is placarded, and he himself is a living advertisement.—Pans Correspondent. (rie« the Hours. In Ely place, Holborn, the old custom of “crying the hours of the night by Charley” still exists. Charley, better known nowadays as the night watchman, has to call the hours in this spot from Up. m. till 5 a. m. Wet or fine, he must net neglect his duty.— London Globe. There is a curious little Holland village in Wisconsin named Little Chute, whose chief manufacture is wooden shoes. The people there are as thcri cughly Dutch as their progenitors. The town stands on the ground where Pert Marquette had his winter quarters, and where the Dutch priests instructed the Indiana.

Sealed Order*. The custom of having warships sail | ‘•under sealed orders” has arisen from the desire of maritime powers to prevent their plans from becoming known ; to the enemy. In the American navy such orders come from the president and are deliv- ‘ cred to a commander of a ship or squadron by a confidential messenger, who knows nothing of th. ir contents. Sometimes they are in cipher, but thev are always sealed with the official seal of the navy department, and the I package cannot be opened until the time i marked on it, which is usually several I hours after the hour of leaving port. By this precaution the newspapers are prevented from disclosing prema- I turely the movements which may be of the greatest importance and the spies of i the enemy are rendered useless so far as their ability to discover the secret of such movements is concerned. Sailing under sealed orders is now the common naval practice in time of ; war. . These instructions are found in tne j packet of "scaled orders,” which is opened when well out to sea.
