DPEN PUBLICITY THE BEST
GU71R71NTY OF MERIT
When the maker 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
any number of ordinary te timonials If
interested send name and address to Dr
E V Pierce Buffalo N Y for his little
hook of extracts from the works of

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

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

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

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
