THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 16 189".
g-jss. In New York
a short while
ago a baby was
in jail Its
RTF nioUier was be-
|M ing tried for
■MF murder. Every
MMtwomanly heart
gives a throb of
sympathy at
thought of the
blight upon the
poor 1 i 111 *
baby’s life. Bi ’
a baby need not
53 be bom in jail
to be unfortu-
tk&3n nate. Any baby
.s'"' which is not
welcomed into
this world with
loving hearts
and ready hands
is unfortunat'
Any mother wh >
is physically weak and incapable of be stow
ing a healthy constitution upon her bab ?
may darken its future with weakness and
disease.
A prospective mother ought to insure her
baby’s welfare by every means that Nature
and science afford to keep her physical
powers up to the very highest point.
Every expectant mother ought to know
and avail herself of the strengthening and
re-enforcing properties of Dr. Pierce's Fa-
vorite Prescription. It gives health and
endurance to the delicate organs concerned
in motherhood. Taken early during the
period of expectancy it makes the coming
of baby perfectly safe and comparatively
easy. It makes the mother strong and
cheerful and gives health and natural vigor
to the child. ....
It is the only medicine of its kind devised
for weak and delicate women by an edu-
cated experienced physician.
For nearly 50 years Dr. Pierce has beetl
chief consulting physician to the Invalids’
Hotel and Surgical Institute of Buffalo
N. Y. His thousand-page illustrated book
“The People's Common Sense Medical Ad-
viser ” contains advice and suggestions
which every -voman ought to read. A pa-
per-bound copy will be sent absolutely free
on receipt of 21 one-cent stamps to pay cost
of mailing only. Address Dr.. R. V. Pierce
Buffalo N Y. Cloth-bound fol 31 stamps.
A sure and permanent cure for constipa-
tion is Dr. Pierce’s Pellets. One “Pellet"
is a gentle laxative two a mild cathartic.

CURIOUS CONTESTS.
Whip-Cracking Barrel-Rolling and
Race of Cripples.
Nogeant the thrifty little town on
the River Marne in France seems des-
tined to become famous for the oddest
contests enacted in modem times says
the New York Journal. Not long ago
the public place of the municipality
was the scene of a race of cripples and
a few days later a barrel-rolling con-
test was inaugurated in which some of
the most prominent citizens partici-
pated.
The other day the town was treated
to the unique spectacle of a whipcrack-
ing contest with about 50 contestants.
The whips were in class A the usual
driver’s whips and in class B the so-
called perpignan much resembling the
long whips used by the lumbermen in
northern Minnesota and Wisconsin on
their log sleighs.
At least 30 different kinds of crack-
ing sounds can be made by these whips
in the hands of an expert and the
prizes were distributed to those who
produced the most of these sounds in
rapid succession. The judges laid con-
siderable emphasis in this odd con-
test on the kind of crackings which
would stir a horse most without injur-
ing him. In conclusion all the drivers
cracked their whips in chorus which
had the effect of ear-deafening can-
nonade.
A driver by the name of Lermission
received the first prize. This man can
handle the whip in so masterly a man-
ner that he is able to crack the “Mar-
seillaise” and familiar French songs
out of it.
FORTUNES FROM FRACTIONS.
---
Control Something Universally Need-
ed and Be a Millionaire.
There have been in recent years sev-
eral instances of sudden wealth. South
Africa and Cripple Creek have produced
millionaires over night and a bicycle
and patenl medicine promoter in Eng-
land made $10000000 in as many weeks
says Leslie’s Weekly. There are sev-
eral thousand people who are each
worth $1000000 or more and there are
several more thousand who are on the
road to become millionaires. Most of
these are persons who are getting their
richesonsmall fractionsof acent. The
street railway kings who are rising to
millions end tens of millions are fully
satisfied wfth a part of one cent of the
nickel they collect because there are
so many of them.
The sugar kings have reduced the
price and improved the quality of sugar
but as long as they get their fraction
on. each pound the Americans buy they
can. make a profit all the way from 20
to 50 per cent. The coal oil monopoly
has also reduced the price and im-
proved the product but its little frac-
tion -makes the grentestmoney-making
enterprise in America. The man who
invented the patent beer stopper is
getting a bigger income than the pres-
ident of the United States. A cheap
headache remedy is allowing its pro-
prietorto spend $lOOOOO a year and still
Tay up another $lOOOOO for a rainy day.
The first thing is to get control of some
article of universal use and the small
fraction will do the rest.

ELEGANT BOOK COVERS.
Revival of n Dainty Art Popular Sev-
eral Centuries Ako.
In days of old when books were lit-
erally worth their weight in gold the
cases of their precious treasures were
worthy the contents. Elaborately
carved ivory gold and silver plate
studded with jewels and equally beau-
tiful if not so costly exquisite em-
broidery on velvet and satin were all
used as covers.
In the time of Queen Elizabeth the
ornamentation of book covers was a fa-
vorite employment of the high-born
women of the day and in the British
museum some beautiful specimens are
still preserved.
As this dainty art has recently be-
come fashionable a description of sev-
eral of these souvenirs of the great
ladies of old may be found suggest-
ive.
An old book is bound in maroon vel-
vet with the royal arms of England
the garter and the motto worked in
gold thread on a crimson ground. A
coronet or crown of gold is inwrought
with pearls. On the covers are roses
in red silk and gold the edge finished
with a narrow border of burnished
gold thread.
A book of prayers said to be covered
by Queen Elizabeth herself when a girl
has the canvas wrought all over in tent-
stitch with rich crimson silk and silver
thread intermixed with tho letters “H.
K.” in blue.
Another royal book has Prince of
Wales feathers worked in gold thread
in the center; the three plumes are
FANCY BOOK COVER.
bound together with large pearls and
wreathed with leaves and flowers.
Around the edge of the cover there is a
broader wreath; corner sprigs in gold
thread are thickly interspersed with
spangles and gold leaves.
This antique work has been revived of
late and some of the modern em-
broidered book covers are really beau-
tiful. They can be made up at any
bookbinding establishment.
The design given is for a prayer-book
and is a combination of white faille
black velvet and gold. The cross of
black velvet has tile edges covered in re-
lief with gold bullion and is applied on
the white faille over which the sides
and corners of the black velvet are laid
the edges being all covered by the
heavy bullion embroidery. The wheat
and the passion flowers_are-in silver
the rest of the design being in gold.—

BREATHING EXERCISE.
How to Fill and Empty the Luk* on
Sclentinc Principle*.
It is claimed by certain reformers
who it would seem never find things
to their liking that not one woman in a
hundred breathes normally. The res-
piration of the average woman varies
with every change of mental or physic-
al condition and it is a rare thing for
a woman to use her lungs to the best
possible advantage without a previous
knowledge-of physiology and an appre-
ciation of the meritsof physical culture.
Desirable as is a thorough exercise
in breathing it is not quite safe to ex-
periment in the matter. A very little
instruction on the subject will enable
any woman to comprehend the precise
art of filling and emptying the lungs on
scientific principles. After this has
been acquired the chief thing is to
breathe in as much sunshine as possible
and to believe in the efficacy of oxygen
as a remedy for nearly all the ills that
are fashionable.
The following are some excellent
rules for improving the respiration
pnd bringing it up to a normal condi-
tion: Stand in an open window or re-
cline on a couch with the waist and
chest unconfined; hold the chest walls
high and inhale in slow long breaths
exhale as slowly three times only at
first. Gradually the number of times
may be increased and the time length-
ened for the breathing exercises. Fif-
teen minutes twice a day at least
should be devoted to this exercise to ac-
complish the desired result.—Farmers’
Review.
The Beat Floor Polish.
Kerosene is the best thing for mak-
ing your hardwood or stained floors
look bright and glossy. The odor dis-
appears quite rapidly if the window
is opened for a short time and any dis-
agreeablenessin the handlingis obviated
by having a mop with a long handle
just for this purr***.
