evening, when thoso present lind bocomo
filled with tho spirit, a large, portly Gcr

and began to talk unci gostlculnto.
"Come forward, slstor; coino forward,"
said tho leader.
Sho did go forward, lint en tho way sho
caught sight of Mr. Levi I'orgy nnd In

and wishing to avoid n scono, hen rose, and
accompanied her to tho altar. No sooner
had sho reached that plucothnn sho turned
about, crying:
"Open tho doors, while, I cast out this

Now, Mr. Forgy Isn't a devil. Neither

or being himself cunt out and started to

tho woman, who turned suddenly upon

Her action caused great consternation,
especially among tho women, who mado
wild attempts to get out of Iter way. Miss
Cora King was knocked down In tho wild

add to tho commotion an old negro wom

march, and being decidedly muscular it
was soma minutes before she could bo
subdued. Sho wus liuully quieted down,
however, and tho meeting cuino to a close.
Some of the women had crawled under

from the building. For a time it looked
as though there would bo a panic, especial

Outside of emergencies there Is much to
be said in favor of brawn, ami fortunately
it Is no longer necessary to argue that
brains are better when there is brawn le
hiud them, while on the other hand the
time has already come when those who se
lect athlete have little use for brawn with
out brains So they su pplement each other
more and more. The college man carica
tured for yearn as a consumptive, then as a
bis bruto, is today neit her. The type is ap
proaching more nearly to that of soundness
of body and mind. Twenty years ago n
father exhorted his son to study hard and
atand high; now the anxiety is that the stu
dent should not fail to take plenty of exer
cise. The strongest argument in favor of school
and college sports is the one advanced by
nature herself. She develops the body be
fore the mind. A man readies the prime
of physical power yearn before the maxi
mum of bis mental strength is attained.
The best systems, backed by the best ex
ponent of the times, have failed to make
physical development popular among men
whose college days and days of youth were
over, who were in the struggle of their
life's work. It then takes too much out of
the man to build up his physique. Jle has
not the time. If he tad done the building
years before, exercise will prevent retro
gression. Youth is the time for physical
development, the time to expand the chest
and increase the biceps, to bike the larger
proportion of bodily exercise. Then in ma
turity the proportion should change to a
mental exercise with the otbsr for ralau

We must examine the Talmud and the

answer the question of a correspondent:
"Did Moses take a negro woman to wife?"
We learn from the twelfth chapter of the

"spake against Moses because of the Ethio
pian woman whom he had married, lor he
married an IClhlopian woman," but it must
be remembered that all tho people of the

It falls to our lot this week to tell our

gieatest and simplest remedies of the
century. IVrsonallv we enioy the very

among our mends is J. L. Myers, pro
uriutor ot the liroauway Pharmacy,
man who knows his business thorough
ly, is entirely wedded to chemistry and
hvgieue and often "talks Bhop." One
evening the conversation turned on new
discoveries in drugs.
lie told us that one of our mutual
friends, John Wyanilt, a locomotive en
gineer, owed Ins health to a new medi
cine known as Dr. Williams' Pick Pills,
and that Mrs. hau ler, the wife of Patrick
hauler, cooper at the Tannin Extract
Works, and well-known in this city, has
been raised by them from what her
friends thought was iter death bed.
Having hail our attention called to the
mutter so paiticularly we have since
found that everybody lias a good word
lor Pink PillH, and especially were we
interested 111 tho case of Mrs. Lawler.
Finally we called at her home and asked
her to tell us if Pink rills bad really
done as much for her as had been told.
She said they had, and site would re
peat the lads to me.
Mrs. hauler eaid: "Two years and a
Halt ago 1 was taken sick. 1 then lived
in Tacoma, and lor five weeks was not
able to turn invself in lied. Mv litis
band and boys lifted me around and
cared lor me, and they scaicely hoped
ior my recovery, J could tat nothing,
was simply worn out.
"l sent lor the Pink Pills and 1 began
taking them. It said in the directions
that thev should on taken immediately
after ealii g, to Inti iis'litly, then t ok
the puis and 111 two days was able to sit
up. iu two weeks 1 was 110 and around.
and was able to ...ake the trip of 125
miles by cars to .South Bend, wiiere my
husband hail gone to work.
".Since that time I have been well and
have done my own work, and now when
I feel worn out or ill I always take Pink
Pills and they help me at once. I have
in the two years and a half used twenty
one boxes of them, and we all use them
when we are feeling outof sorts. I have
recommended them to many of my
friends, and thev always helped them.
and 1 can say to all mothers that they
will find lliem a good medicine to build
them up, emu headaches, dizziness and
the ills which so often beset them."
Mr. hauler also stated that he had
often taken Pink Pills. That he used to
lie troubled with sick headache and diz
ziness in the morning, but that Pink
Pills bad en 1 cd him.
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills contain all
the elements necessary to give new life
and richness to the blood and restore
shattered nerves. They are for sale by
all druggists or may lie had by mail from
Dr. Williams' Medicine Company, Sche

An English View of America.
Tlio announcement that an influential
syndicate bus been formed in Brixton to
send an expeditionary force of pickpock
ets to the world s fair is a little belated.
Gratifying to national pride it will be
no doubt as showing thut English spirit
of enterprise still springs fresh and vig
orous iu tiie Drixtoniiin breast. But
from tho point of view of commercial
speculation it is to be feared that the
fcyi.dicuto has been as completely whipped
by American firms as have all previous
exhibitions by the Whito City. Consid
ering that the ashes of Christopher Co
lumbus were all hut stolon on the very
opening day, and thut the czar of Rus
sia's jewels and the queen of Italy's loco
have disappeared outright, wo gravely
doubt whether English competition will
liuve much chance. Obviously native
talent has every advantage of local
knowledge, and though we conld see the
adventurers cross the Atlantic without a
sigh we should advise them in their own
interest to con fine their operations to the
narrower sphere of Brixton.
Smuggled Tobacco In a Pneumatic Tire.
A now system of smuggling was detect
ed recently at Dover. A young man with
a safety bicycle, the pneumatio tire of
which was inflatod with fine Turkish to
bacco Instead of air, attempted to Inno
cently rjdo off on his whool. The customs
officer, with the usual suspicion of bis
class, detcotod the tobacco, and the "new
smuggler" wus consequently detained.
Prince Bismarck is determined never to
grow bent. When taking his daily walk,
he carries a stout cudgel across his back,
held between his elbows. This helps him
to keep himself erect.
Use words of Saxon rather than of Iutin
origin whenever it is possiblo to do so, thus
gaining terseness and vigor rather than a
hiriie number of syllables with diminished
force.
An Eager and a Nipping Wind,
A continuous down piur of rain, inclem
ent weather, generally in winter and
spring, are unfavorable to all classes of in
valids. Out warmth and aotivity infused
into the circulation counteract these in
lluences and interpoie a defense against
them. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, most
thorough and effective of stomachics and
tomes, nut only enriches the hi iod, but
accelerates its circulation. For a chill, or
premonitory symptoms of rheumatism
and kidney complaint, partlcu'arly preva
lent at these seasons, it is the best possible
remedy. It is also invaluable for dyspep
sia, liver oomplaint, constipation and ner
vousness. Never set out on a winter or
spring journey without it. Blder.'y per
sons and the delicate and convalescent are
greatly aided by it.

SAFE, QUICK AND EFFECTIVE.
The valuable curative properties of All
cock's Pobous Plasters are due to the
employmext of the highest medical and
chemical skill. Tney are purely vegetable,
and in ingredients and method have never
been equalled ; safe, quick and effective in
their action; they do not burn or blister,
but soothe and relieve while curing, and
can be worn without causing inoonveni
ence. All other so called Porous Plasters are
imitations, made to sell on the reputation
of Ai.LoncK's.

OMEN'S FACES
like flowers, fade i
and wither with time ;
i.i f .i. . .
1b only known to the
healthy woman's
cheeks, the nerv
ous strain caused by
the ailments ana
pains peculiar to the
sex, and the labor
and worry of rearing
a family, can often
be traced by the lines in the woman's face.
Dull eyes, the sallow or wrinkled face and
those "feelings of weakness" have their
rise in the derangements and irregularities
peculiar to women. The functional de
rangements, painful disorders, and chronic
weaknesses of women, can be cured with
Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. For the
young girl just entering womanhood, for
the mother and those about to become
mothers, and later in "the change of life,"
the " Prescription " is just what they need ;
it aiiis nature in preparing tne system lor
the change. It's a medicine prescribed for
thirty years, in the diseases of women, by
Dr. R. V. Pierce, chief consulting physician
to the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Insti
tute, at Buffalo, N. Y. Dr. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription will cure the chronic inflamma
tion of the lining membranes which cause
such exhausting drains upon the system.
It cures nervous prostration, sleeplessness, j
faintness, nervous debility and all disorders
arising from derangement of the female '
organs and functions. I

EXTINCT MONSTERS.
Oh, had I lived In the good old days
When the Ichthyosaurus romped around,
When the elusiuoiuurus swam the bays
And the sivntlicrluin pawed the ground.
Would 1 have spent my precious time
At weaving golden thought lu rhyme?
When the tlnoceriis snooped about.
And tlio pterodactyl flapped In wings.
When the brontopn with the warty snout
Moseyed around for herbs and things.
Would I have untliored myself o'ermueh
About divine afflatus and such?
The dinolherluin flourished then.
The pterygotus lashed the seas,
Tlio rhampliorynehus pniered when
Tlie teaphagiiatlius perched In trees.
And every creature, wild or tame.
Rejoiced In some rococo aame.
Pause and ponder, who could write
A triolet or roundelay,
While a mcrnlherium yawped all night
And a hesperornis yawped all day.
While, now and again, the bray sonorous
Of Ulyptotlon asuer swelled the chorus?
If I'd been almost anything
But a poet, I might have got along;
Those extinct monsters of hoof and wing
Were not conducive to lyric Bong.
Bo nature reserved this tender bard
For the kindlier age of pork and lord.

disease that science has been able to cure

being a constitutional disease, requires
constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh

upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the
