YOUNG GIRLS ‘ entering womanhood ought to have just the special help that Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription can give. They need to bo started right. Tho “ Prescription ” aids and promotes the proper functions, corrects tho delicate weaknesses and derangements that might become chronic, establishes regularity and health, lessens pain. Thoy want a nourishing, supporting, strengthening tonic, such as an experienced physician has especially prepared for the female system, in the “ Prescription.” In every “female complaint” and weakness, and in nil nervous conditions, if it doesn’t benefit or

cure, the money will be returned. Miss Maggie Jackson, of Barbreek, St. Landry Parish, La., snjs: “ I was lying sick for tome time with female complaints, and all tho medicine my friends gave me did me no good. Death was approaching; all my friends had ?iven me up to die. I nenrd of your wondered medicine, and I bought two bottles of it, and before I had taken the last, 1 got entirely well.

The Greatest Medical Discovery of the Age. KENNEDY’S MEDICAL DISCOVERY, DONALD KENNEDY, OF ROXSURY, MASS., Has discovered in one of our common pasture weeds a remedy that cures every kind of Humor, from the worst Scrofula down to a common Pimple. He has tried it in over eleven hundred cases, and never failed except in two cases (both thunder humor). He has now in his possession over two hundred certificates of its value, all within twenty miles of Boston. A benefit is always experienced from the first bottie, and a'perfect cure is warranted when the right quantity is taken. When the lungs are affected it causes shooting pains, like needles passing through them; the same with the Liver or Bowels. This is caused by the ducts being stopped, and always disappears in a week after taking it. If the stomach is foul or bilious it will cause squeamish feelings at first.

TWENTY-EIGHT DEAD BURIED IN A MINE UNDER THE MICHIGAMME RIVER. Caught by a Cave-In anil Overwhelmed by a Flood of Water Which Filled the Mine to the River Level-Only One Escaped of an Entire Crew. Death in Rushing Waters. With a roar and rush the waters cf tho Michigamme River broke thiough the Mansfield mine, at Crystal Falls, Mich., shortly after nine o’< 1 ck on Thursday ijlght, drowning twentyeight of the employes at work directly under the stream. The eighteen men who escaped were emplote i ii tho lower levels. None of the bod ex have been recovered ami it is beliovt d it will be necessary to dive r tho channel of the river before they c n bj secured.

The Mansfield mine is one of 11 y ' Schlesinger gi oun ami is ij e.-aied by i Corrigan. lve<& Co. of Cleveland. The j mine reecho* out under the live -, but the earth between the workings and I the. stream wu; supposed to I e of such ; thickness a- topuike the fio din ; । f the । mine impossible and no extra inwaii-i tions had been taken against a di-aster ' of this kind. Tho nLbt shift of men went into tl o mine :C the u- in! tin e and w. re deep in the pit when the break occurred. Tae me i had no warnirg of the impc: ca'amitv. The main shaft of tin- n.in- ext Tula under the Michigamme r;\c - and the subsiding of the ground turn d the stream into the mine, tl aiding it alnn st in-tantly. The ae -ident occurred at !> o'd ck nt night. The mine filled wth water in I two hours, and those thai e-caj e 1 I were in tht? shaft, and we n literally | blown out b/ the ru hii g water and ■ air. which ma I - it inr <>" ; .ble for a rescuing p u-ty to leave tl e cage f< r i rescue of others.

The s uia’ion was awful and the scene- arour.d theca-.e-in were hoart-rendirg Weeping women and crying cl ihiren crowded up to tho gating p;t to view tho lust resting ; lac -of husband and father. The sp< tI as lim-n visited by thousumls of curii-u- pro and tho tragic event Is the < tic topic of <H-cu,h-sion in the I aka Super i>r co intry. No specific censu e of the mining c mpany is being manifested. The gen rally a-opted theory a- to the cause of the dism er is that the I timliers on the fifth lcv> l gave way and i allowed tho level- a o. eand at last the 1 I river t > crush down upon tho fated ; men. In tho pn c -s < f mining all the ’ levels save tho sixth have b -en iti pp<-d i out, leaving onk' timl ers a: d pil- ' lars of ore above, .khn M. Longyear, of Marquette, eno of tho ehi -f . owners of the Mansi.old mim- property, | said that tho land had I eon lea ml to • Calhoun A- Tenney of Chic, igo ami that thoy had formed the Man fi l l Mining Company. Mr. Long ■ear’s belief in i that the disaster vas caused bv "robbing” the mine; that is. by wm-ki; g in a reckless manner and tea ing down pillars of ore in the upp'r levels that should have been left to tuppert the roof. There has been mu-h trouble with water recently, and predictii ns have not been wanting that the river wi-ul-.i some day break th,o.;gh the m of of the mine. Tho depre sion in the iron trade has closed practically all tho mines in the Crystal Falls district, and the "Mansfield was almo t the only one from which any ore was being raised, tho fine quality of its product enabling it to keep on working. Tho night shift had gone down, and though some one noticed that mo.e water than usual was coming into the mine no special alarm was felt, as tho i umps seemed t * be able to keep the rifts free. So the work went on in its usual cour e until the roar of water made the first announcement of danger. So fast came the flood that it is d übtful if the men in the upper levels were able to reach the shaft at all. Tony Buletto, tho skip-tender at the fourth level, was standing near t v e shaft with Frank Rocco, a night'brs or foreman, when the fir t crash came. They knew what l ad ha- p -ned and anticipated the -emit, but Rocco heroically refused to go up in t e skip until he had warned his men of the danger imminent. He went back into the drift and perished with his comrades. Buletto came to 1 he surface in the skip, and is the only man who went to work on the fourth level that fatal night left to tell the tto y. Louis Ashlemin, under whose direct supervision the mining was done, said the rcof of the fifth level had been shifty *fcr several clays, but nothing that miners consider indicative of imminent danger appeared. “To secure the thing, however.” he continued, “we placed new timbers in tho level and it appeared to 1 e perfectly safe. I believe the cave started on the fifth level.” Telegraplkic Clicks. All Chinese have been driven out of Cove, Orc. The total admissions to the World's Fair to date are 14,027,821. Rev. Edward D.

NOT A SOFT SNAP. The Dangerous Fosil ion Occupied by tb* s Express Messengers. An express messenger’s lot is cei -. talnly not, an enviable one By the nature of his position he is frequently made the custodian of largo sums of money, and this fact is a standing invi- , tatiou to desperadoes. When his ear ; is boarded by one of this gentry and : he is invited to throw up his hands, he is placed between the devil and the ' deepv sea. The invitation is always | emphasized, by a Winchester rifle or j an ugly revolver held in unpleasant proximity to the messenger's head. If I he surrenders promptly he saves his ' life but usually loses hispcsltion, while, on the other liand, if he shows light he is promptly she t dead. Ah ng with it till comes the fact, as vouched for by many messengers and ex-messengers, that tho entire craft is underpaid. One raid only a few days since thats7omade a good round salary for express messengers generally, and sto was considered ready excellent. Perhaps for tho work it is necessary to do S7O or SBO is sufficient, and for the education needed the sums named are ample, but certainly for the risk taken the sum seems inadequate. Leaving his comfortable home for the labor of a long journey, the express messenger enters the car over which ho has chatge and travels forth on his journey alone, Thore is immlly-, wealth about him, of the presence of i which he is not certain how many ure N aware. His doors are barred and bolted. His labor is one of silt m A e and । speculation. j Through the long hours of the night the various stops are to be wondered at as meaning something dangerous. Finally, in theirs, as in the lives of all men, there comes tho critical moment. At, in had b. en halted in the shadow of a gloomy forest or the depth of a solitarv canyon. A voice lias sounde 1 the demand fur an immediate opening and surrender; a manly stand | is taken. Then comes the blowing open of a dow with dynamite, a de- | mand for keys. The final t -st is a bru- ■ tai blow or a deadly shot, and another j hero, un-ung, has died at his post. It is either this < r ;he other a suri render because life and the pursuit of i happine-s i- held higher than packages jof gold or bundles of silver. The af- । termath is u-ually le-s thrilling and ’ m >re painful. I'sually it means that tho ine-senger dies a heroin- lingers a suspect in the service or out of it. The families of the dead are le t to ■ hist for themselves or to suffer la'cause of inability to shift. The livi. gim ssenger hits the inadequate sa a y and tho perhit; s moderate i dium u,khi him of inn ing Ih'> n a coward or untrustworthy. or has no work at a l, and so drifts out of tin- business enti.eiy. \ti < Hit M a h's I. rat it u Je.

A Matter of Health Housekeepers faintly realize the d: I ger of an indiscriminate use of the numerous baking powders nowadays found upon every hand, and which are urged upon cc nsumers with such persistency by peddlers and many grocers on account of the big profits made in ; their sale. Most of tbo c powders are ' n ™de, from sharp and caustic acids and i alkalies which burn and inflame the I b imentary organs and cause indi।ge tion, heartburn, diarrhoeal dis- । eases, etc. Sulphuric acid, caus--1 tic potash, burnt alum, all are Umedas gas-producing agent- in such j baking powders. Most housekeepers • are awaie of tho painful effects prodliccd when these chemicals are applied to the external flesh. How much more acute must be their action upon the delicate internal membranes! Yet unscrupulous manufacturers do not hesitate to use them, became they make a very low-cost powder, nor to urge tho me of their powders so male, by all kinds of alluring advertisements and false representations. All the lowpriced or so-called cheap baking powders, and all powders sold with a gift or prize, belong tu this class. Baking powders made from chemically pure cream of tartar and bx-ear-bondte of soda are among the roost tu^iil of modern culinary devices. not only make the preparation of ^er and more delicious cookery po> ^^uJe, I ut they have added to the di^dbi.it;- and wholesomeness cf our ■^s7^ But biking powders must be t^ed c f such pure and wholesome ngredients tr they must be tnbojed entirely. Dr. Edson. Commissioner of Health I of New York, in an article in the “Doctor of Hygiene,” indicates that the advantages of a good baking powder and the exemption from the dangers of bad ones in which tho harsh and caustic th eni-cals are used, are to b? secured by the use of Royal Baking Powder exclusively, and he re, omniends this i to al) consumers. “The Royal.” he . says, “contains nothing but cream lof tartar and sda refined to a chemical purity, which when COinlihmd under the influence of heat aud moisture produce pure carbonic, or leavening, gas. The two materials used, cream of tartar and seda. are perfectly harmless even when eaten, but in tn is preparation they are combined in exact eomj ensatin'g weights, j so that when chemical action begins i U'tween them in the dough thev praeI tically disappear, the substance of lx th having le< n taken to form carbonic acid gas.” Hence it is, he says, that the Royal Baking Powder is the most perfect of ail conceivable a rents for leavening purposes. It seems almost incredible that any manufa-“turer or coaler should urge the sal-- id baking powders c intaining injurii us chemicals in place of tho e <-f a well-known, pure, and wholesoti e character, simply (or the sak > of a few Centi a iHiund g. eater p oti t; but j since they d-i, a few words of warning ; scorn to !>e nece<-ary.

As Told by an Engineer. I Let me give you a chapter from my : own experience to show you how thoroughly the German war department is prepared for emergencies. One day a messenger came to me at the barracks bidding me to report at the railway station and receive orders. I went to the station. A man approached me and addressed me as Meyer. I said, “My name is Wolff,” “No,” said he, “your name is Meyer. Here is our bag of samples. You are selling whisky. I am selling wine. : We will go to such and such a city and l call on Mr. So-and-so and Mr. So-and- < so, and try and sell them some goods.” j Wo went at once; and after we had visited sevei al merchants my companion; said, “We will take a walk and go across the bridge. We will not return together. On your way back you will pace the bridge, and going and coming you will keep your eyes open t j observe all of the points you can about the bridge.” Then for the first time I began to have a suspicion of what was really wanted. I strolled down to the bridge and leaned over the edge, looking at i some workmtn who were making holes in the abutments. I observed the plan from tevei al points and then went on across the stream. After a while I started back, and on my way I paced the bridge arch by arch. In the engineer corps we are trained to pace distances with great exactness. I returned to my hotel, and at tho command of my companion wrote a complete description of the bridge. Then we returned to the point from which we had started, and I heard no more of the expedition. A considerable time after that war came, and the German army marched to the frontier. As the advance d ew near, that bridge I had reported upon was blown up and fell in a mass of ruins. The army halted. A train of freight cars came forward, and from those cars was taken the prepared material with which a new bridge was put together in a few hours, and the army marched over the river and into the enemy's country. Every timber and every piece of metal was readv for immediate use. A bridge had been constructed throughout for that particular crossing, based upon my report. Black Dross Goods. I.ady Wilde, in her “Social Studies,” says ’Never wear black." I entirely disagree with her, and think that Nack is more becoming to most women than anything else. .And especially is this the case with regard to evening (Less. For a middle-aged woman I nothing is so nice in the evening as i black velvet and diamonds. Black vel- : veteen is a mistake: it wears badly, I and never looks well at any time. I ! saw a most original dreis the other day made of that black net with very large holes. It had a velvet yoke of bright green, and below that a tightfitting ]irimess robe of black satin merveilieux. Over this and from the yoke the black net hung straight and full, tho effect of which was very graceful. The sleeves had large putts of the green velvet and frills of the black net hung just below the elbow, where they finished.
