' It isn't in the ordinary way
that Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip

woman who needs it. It's guaran
teed. Not with words merely ; any

will do what it promises ?
It's an invigorating, restorative
tonic, a soothing and strengthening
nervine, and a certain remedy for
the ills and ailments that beset a
woman. ' In female complaint " of
very kind, periodical pains, internal

down sensations and all chronic
weaknesses and irregularities, it is
a positive and complete cure.
To every tired, overworked wo
man, and to every weak, nervous,

Some Interesting Flsrure4 Taken from a
.' Work Published by the Government.
Science has been busy amonjj the
cherished beliefs regarding.' everyday
phenomena of late years, and one by
one they have been demolished and the
list ofvulg-ar errors grows smaller. An
exception to this, says the Washington
Hews, is a little publication that has
made its appearance from the publish-!-ing
house of Uncle Sam, compiled by
Alexander McAdie, of the weather
bureau, and containing1 some very in
teresting fact? 'regarding1 lightning
and the damages and . fatalities it
causes in this country. Its primary
object is to show the best methods of
protection by lightning1 rods, but inci
dentally it gives some very unique fig
ures, and shows that a few at least of
the beliefs thai are commonj to every
class are well founded. The. number
of death-dealing . lightning- bolts that
find victims in this country yearly is
greater than is probably- generally
believed. According-to figures -given
by Mr'. McAdie there occurred in 1892
251 deaths by lightning, and. in the
year following; there were 209. The
statistics do not go further back than
1890, but even this short space of time
has demonstrated that the-, danger
seems to be on the increase by extend
ing over a greater portion of .the year
than formerly. In 1890 the pionths of
March, April, May, June, J uly and Au
gust alone chronicled fatalities. The
year following September was added,
and in 1S92 every month from April
to December provided a victim to
heaven's tire. The average number of
persons killed yearly by lightning is
196. A glance at the table shows that
by far the greater number of fatalities
occurred in June, July ancLAugust.
In the eight years ending in 1892
there were 3,510 fires in the United
States due to lightning, causing a to
tal loss of 312,603,835. This is a rather
startling statement to those who are
inclined to scoff 'at the danger from
thunderstorms. Barns, ' stables . and
granaries apparently had the greatest
attraction for lightning, for during the
nine years ending in 1892 2,335 build
ings of that class were struck, as
against CG4 dwellings and 104 churches.
Electric light stations, and telegraph
and telephone offices seemed to have
enjoyed a. comparative immunity from
danger from the element with which
they, are pervaded. In certain states
there has been a marked' increase in
the number of lightning strokes in the
past year, particularly in Connecticut,
Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Mich
igan and New York. ,
One of the most interesting results of
the observations that have been made
of late years regarding lightning and
its freaks is that the geological as well
as the topographical conditions influ
ence it. According to the statistics a
chalk formation is the least' liable to
damaging lightning, while next in or
der of frequency comf marl, clay, sand
and loam. ' With regard to trees, the
oak is most frequently and the 'beech
the least frequently struck. Neither
does it seem to have been the highest
or most exposed trees that were struck, i
as the bolt hit in the mosj erratic and
unexpected manner. As regards the
superstitions or-beliefs regarding the
safety or danger of certain localities
when the lightning is on the rampage,
Mr. McAdie states that it is not judi
cious to stand under trees, in the door
way of barns, close .to cattle or near
ctimneys and fireplaces, vhich is a
scientific justification of the actions of
probably five persons out of six when a
stornt-is prevailing.
A BARBER SHOP SURPRISE.
A Fashionably Dressed Young Lady Non
- cnalantly Tabes a Shave.
But one of the dozen chairs in a pop
ular Cincinnati barber shop was vacant
about ten o'clock the other morning,
when a fashionably dr.;ssed young
woman entered, removed her wrap,
veil and hat, handed them to the open
mouthed boy, walked to the vacant
chair, sat down in -it, threw her head
back on the padded rest, and placed
her daintily shod feet on the foot
bench. , " :
- "Bangs trimmed?" asked the bar
ber. "Nope, shave!" she said, gazing com
posedly at the ceiling. -
"Huh!" grunted the wonder-stricken
barber. ".
"Shave," she repeated, without wink
ing, "here and 'here," pointing to her
upper lip and to the skin in front of
her ears. ' . . ' '
The barber, saj's, the Tribune, keep
ing his eyes on her all the time, tucked
a towel under her chin, lathered the
places she had indicated, stropped the
razor and went to work. A few. strokes
and it was over, and when her face
had been washed and powdered, she
left the chair, allowed the boy to put
on her wrap, adjusted her hat' and veil
with much deliberation, and, throwing
a half dollar on the cashier's counter,
walked out.
The effect of this .visit on the other
barbers and their victims was to cause
the barbers to forget, for. the first time
in their lives, . to tell the victims that
they needed shampoos, and the victims
to fail to notice the cuts in their faces
when the lady 6aid "shave."
The barber who shaved the pretty
lady, when he recovered, said there
was a fine growth of hair on her face,
just enough when it got long to give
the skin a slightly dark hue.
"She'd been there before," he added.
' - 4 A Shower of Feathers. : '
The eminent surgeon, Sir N&stley
Cooper, was fond of a practical joke.
On one occasion he ascended the
church tower of a village -in Norfolk,
taking with him one of his mother's
pillows, and finding the wind blowing
directly to the next town, be let off
handfnls of . feathers -" until - he . had
emptied the pillow. The local papers
reported this "remarkable shower" of
feathers', and offered various conject
ures to account for it, and .the account
was copied into'other papers, nd was
probably received asa perfectly natural
occurrence. , ,
