“What Is Woman’s Worth!”

Asked a fair damsel of a crusty old bachelor. He did not know, so she said: “W. O. man” (double you, O man). But a woman feels worth little if disease has invaded her system and is daily sapping her strength. For all fpmale weaknesses, Dr. R V. Pierce’s “Favorite Prescription” stands unrivaled. It cures the complaint and builds up the system. Send 10 cents in stamps for pamphlet to World's Dispensary Medical Associauon, 663 Main street, Buffalo. N. Y. Arguing from what is known of the transmission of light aad heat to the earth, Mr. De Volson Wood concludes that the luminiferous ether, supposed to pervade all space, has a density such that a volume of it equal to about twenty volumes of the earth would weigh one pound, a tension such that the pressure on a square mile would be about one pound, and a specific heat such that it would require as much heat to raise the temperature of one pound one degree as it would to raise about 2,300,000,000 tons of water that amount.
