of a medicine sold through druggists for family use takes lis patients fully into his confidence by frankly and fearlessly publishing broad cast as well as on its bottle wrappers a full list of all its ingredients in qilain English this action on his part is the best possible evidence that he is not afraid to have the search light of inves tigation turned full upon nis formula and that it will bear the fullest scrutiny and the most thorough investigation Dr Pierces Favorite Prescription for tho cure of the weaknesses periodical pains and functional derangements of the or gans distinctly feminine is the only medi cine put up for sale through druggists for womans special use the maker of which is not afraid to take his patients into his full confidence by such open and lonest publicity A glance at the published ingredients on each bottle wrapper will show that it is made wholly from native American medicinal roots that it contains no poi sonous or habit forming drugs no nar cotics and no alcohol pure triple refined glycerine of proper strength being used instead of the commonly employed alco hol both for extracting and preserving the active medicinal properties found in the roots of the American forest plants employed It is the only medicine for womens pecular diseases sold by drug gists that does not contain a large per centage of alcohol which is in the long run so harmful to womans delicate nerv ous system Now glycerine is perfectly harmless and serves a valuable purpose hy possessing intrinsic value all its own and besides it enhances the curative effect of the other ingredients entering into the Favorite Prescription Some of the ablest medical writers and teachers endorse these views and praise all the several ingredients of which Fa vorite Prescription is composed rec ommending them for the cure of the very same diseases for which this world famed medicine is advised No other medicine for women lias any uch pro fessional endorsement worth more than

Mo THE BEE HIVE McCook Nebraska r VARIETIES OF CRAMPS Curioua Affliction of Men In VrIou Walks of Lire One of the curious consequences of the modern division of labor Is the cramp that attacks those who constant ly use their hands lu one particular manner Writing cramp wqb the first to ap pear being quite unknown until the In troduction of steel pens It affects men far oftener than the fair sex and sin gularly those who suffer are not liter ary men but copyists It is almost In curable and even -when the left hand is used tho cramp very soon crosses over to It Musicians of every kind are attacked Among pianists it Is chiefly ladles am bitious to become professionals who are the vvtims Violent pain weak ness and fJgue of the arm make play ing an Impossibility Violinists are af fected both in the fingers of the left hand and the hand that holds the bow Clarinet players get cramps of the tongue and flute players get cramp in the larynx Telegraphers suffer very often and they call It loss of the grip Tailors get cramps in legs as well as hands Smiths and carpenters get what Is called hammer cramp resulting from the enormous number of blows struck It is estimated that a forger of knives and scissors strikes 28000 blows every day Drivers get cramps in the hand espe cially in the case of those who break in hard mouthed horses Cigarmakers watchmakers photographers auction eers saivyers billiard players dentists turners stampers weavers painters money counters and ballet dancers all suffer from their own peculiar cramps and often so severely t t they have to exchange their employment for some other CRIMINAL BEES Honey Gatherers That Have Very Loose Moral Ideas Almost every form and variety of hu man crime is to be found among ani mals Cases of theft are noticed among bees Buehner in his Psychic Life of Animals speaks of thievish bees which in order to save themselves the trouble of working attack well stocked hives in masses kill the sentinels and the Inhabitants rob the hives and car ry off the provisions After repeated enterprises of this description they ac quire a taste for robbery and violence They recruit whole companies which get more and more numerous and finally they form regular colonies of brigand bees But it is a still more curious fact that these brigand bees can be produced ar tificially by giving working bees a mix ture of honey and brandy to drink The bees soon acquire a taste for this beverage which has the same disas trous effects upon them as upon men They become ill disposed and irritable and lose all desire to work and finally when they begin to feel hungry they attack and plunder the well supplied hives There is one variety of bees the sphecodes which live exclusively up on plunder How to Rest To understand how to rest is of more importance than to know how to work The latter can be learned easily The former it takes years to learn and some people never learn the art of resting It is simply a change of scenes and ac tivities Loafing may not be resting sleeping is not always resting sitting down for days with nothing to do is not restful A change is needed to bring into play a different set of facul ties and to turn the life Into a new channel The man who works hard finds his best rest in playing hard the man who is burdened with care finds relief in something that is active yet free from responsibility Above all keep good natured and dont abuse your best friend the stomach Hopping Prom World to World Few children reach the age of eight years without having worked out a cosmology of their own and their own system of metaphysics A group of youngsters of that mature age were going home from school the other day when one began to instruct the others what to do in case of a certain crisis When the end of the world comes do you know what you want to do ask ed the manikin Well you want to give a little jump like this The world will slip out from under you and youll light on the one a followin it and be all right Then the youngsters began practicing the sort of jump that was necessary to give them immortality Kansas City Times Alffebra The science of algebra is said to have been the invention of Mohammed of Buziana about 850 A D The scs ence was introduced into Spain 27 ue Moors The first treatise on the sub ject in any European language is be lieved to have been that by Luca Pac coli in 1404 The first English algebra was written by Robert Itecorde teach er of mathematics at Cambridge abou 1557 He was the first to use the sign of equality In the Frozen North I suppose the native chiefs set elab orate tables Yes said the eminent arctic ex plorer guardedly they usually put on a good deal of dog Louisville Courier-Journal Innocence He Has she been married long She No but she

Among the CoaJ Miners -The Child Labor ProblemDemands of Men I situation In the coal mining THE Is now a subject of acute interest In view of the possibility that there may be hostilities between the forces of cap ital and labor a few weeks hence The great strike of 1902 affected only the anthracite region but- it is ex pected that the bituminous as well as anthracite coal miners will be called out in case of a strike this spring While they are not organized to the extent that the anthracite miners are- It is said that a large majority of them are now affiliated with organized labor Since the settlement of the strike ia the anthracite regions through the ef forts of the commission appointed by President Roosevelt the trade has been brought to a state of high prosperity Production has increased prices have advanced and the profits of the mine operators have multiplied so say the representatives of the miners On the other hand the latter claim that their share in this prosperity has been small They wish a general eight hour day in crease in the wage scale and an agree ment preventing employment of boys The anthracite mines are located chiefly In Pennsylvania and tho Key stone State has been the scene of the big strikes in this industry in the past President John Mitchell of the United Mine Workers of America declared in a recent address that the condition or the miners today shows a marked advance- over the past and this progress he attributes largely to the work of his order for them It is a mistake to sup pose that the hundreds of thousands of men employed in mining coal in this country all constitute about the same class of laborers and citizens Some A BREAKER BOY are intelligent some otherwise some sober others intemperate some law abiding others disposed to fighting and lawlessness and quick to resort to vio lence in case of a strike unless firmly restrained by their leaders Some are of Welsh Scotch and English birth or parentage and these miners are in gen eral a very good class of workmen and citizens Others have come but recent ly from Italy Poland Hungary Rus sia and the Ural regions and have not yet had time to absorb the true Amer ican spirit With a heritage of igno rance and oppression they are handi capped in the struggle for existence and the depressing elfects of their an cestry and former environment are seen in the conditions amid which they live On the other hand there are many miners who own their own homes take pride in having them neat and attractive are graduates of gram mar schools and in general class along side the best type of skilled workmen in other communities Child labor is one of the evils con nected with mining which the repre sentatives of the miners wish to bring to an end A typical character of the mines is the breaker boy He toils from daylight to sunset far up in the top of the big breakers where the huge lumps of coal are broken by ma chinery into different sizes for conven ience in consumption The conditions of their employment are very much against their advancement Many a breaker boy has begun work in tin mines at eight years of age and until old enough to shoulder a pick and go down into the mines to dig coal ha1 had to sit day in and day out at the top of a chute and pick out slate as thc steady avalanche of coal flowed mo notonously through the heavy breaking machines The only sunlight such boy gets comes to him through a thick cloud of coal dust and the air the youth takes Into his lungs is permeatel with the fine particles of coal Unde such depressing conditions his growth physically mentally and morally l stunted The miners representative hope to obtain conditions under whicl these boys may get a better start ii the world SAVED THE LANDS How De CosmoM Great Speech Hap pened to Be Delivered The longest speech on record is be lieved to have been that made by Mr de Cosmus in the legislature of British Columbia when a measure was pend ing the passage of which would have taken from a great many settlers their lands De Cosmus was In a minority The measure had been held back till the eve of the close of the season or session Unless action was taken be fore noon of a given day the act would fall De Cosmus got the floor at 10 a m and began a speech against the- bill Its friends supposed he would be done by 1 oclock At 2 oclock he was saying In the second place At Z he produced a fearful bundle of evi dence and insisted on reading it Then the truth dawned He was go ing to speak till noon the next day and kill the bllL Then they made merry over It and tried to- shout him down but that gave himi time and breathing space They finally settled down to watch the combat between the strength of will and weakness of body They gave no mercy no time for dinner or wetting lips- with water and no sitting down Members went to dine and sleep in squads but De Cosmus went on Day dawned The speaker was alternately dozing and trying to look wide awake At last noon came and a single man was triumphant Although his voice had sunk to a husky whisper his eyes were bleared and bloodshot his legs tottered under him his baked lips were cracked and smeared with blood De Cosmus had spoken for twenty six hours and saved the lands THE BANANA PLANT Cacli Tree Produce Only One Ilnnch or the Fruit The banana plant is not properly a tree at all It has no woody finer It fa a large green fleshy plant with big leaves six or eight feet long and some times two feet broad It grows to a height of ten to fourteen feet or even more acco ding to the variety of plant and the soil and climate Eacli tree produces one bunch of fruit only which is really the terminal bud of the plant just like an ear of wheat or barley It has no branches and when the fruit is ready which is twelve or fifteen months from the date of plant ing the tree is cut down and done with But while it is growing up and ma turing Its fruit it is at the same time sending up from its roots other young plants or suckers perhaps eight or nine of them Each of these will pro duce its own bunch In turn some of them in a couple of months after the parent plant and there will thus be a regular succession of fruit Many of these suckers have to be dug up and planted elsewhere or they would b too thick on the ground And there is this peculiarity about the banana You can plant it at any season and the fruit ripens all the year round When once a banana field has been plnnted out all that Is necec sary to be done is to keep it clear of weeds and keep thinning out the multi plying suckers A Curious Wooden Watch The most curious timekeeper perhaps that has ever been made in this coun try was the work of one Victor Doriot who lived at Bristol Tenn in the last century This horological oddity was nothing more or less than a wooden watch The case was made of brier root and the inside works all except three of the main wheels and the springs which were of metal were made from a piece of an old boxwood rule The face which was polished until it looked like a slab of finest Ivory was made from the shoulder blade of an old cow that had been killed by the cars Doriots queer watch as it was called was an open faced affair with a glass crystal and was pronounced an elegant piece of workmanship by all the watchmakers In east Tennessee A Wonderful Memory nortensius the great Roman lawyer and orator had a memory of extraor dinary scope and tenacity After com posing a speech or oration he could re peat it word for word exactly as he had prepared it On one occasion he went to an auction where the business was carried on during an entire day and at evening for a wager he wrote down a list of the articles that had been sold and the prices together with the names of the purchasers in the order in which the purchases had been made Linnets In Africa Dr Arthur 7 Hayes in his The Source of the Blue Nile tells how the linnets come to drink out of the Atbara river They come with an undulating rush and small as they are the rush ing of the wind as they beat the air makes a noise like thunder and their numbers darken the sky The weight of the throngs of them which alight at a time bends down the ends of the overhanging branches and twigs to the level of the water Practical Why do you teach your children to recite and sing Well answered the practical wo man
