ONE OF DR. CUPID'S PRESCRIPTIONS.
That I,ove sometimes cures disease is a
fact that has recently been called to the
attention of the public by a prominent
physician and college professor. In some
tervous diseases of women, such as hys
teria, this physician gfives instances where
Komen were pnt in a pleasant frame of
mind, were made happy by falling- in love,
and in consequence were cured of their
nervous troubles the weak, nervous sys
tem toned and stimulated by little Dr.
Cupid became strong and vigorous, al
most without their knowledge. Many a
woman is nervous and irritable, fels drag
ged down and worn out, for no reason that
she can think of. She may be ever so
much in love, but Dr. Cupid fails to cure
her. In ninety -nine per cent, of these
cases it is the womanly organism which
requires attention; the weak back, dizzy
spells and black circles about the eyes, are
only symptoms. Go to the source of the
trouble and correct the irregularities, the
drains on the womanly system and the
other symptoms disappear. So sure of it
is the World's Dispensary Medical Associa
tion, proprietors of Dr. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription, that they offer a $500 reward
for women who cannot be cured of leucor
rhe.i, female weakness, prolapsus, or fall
ing of the womb. All they ask is a fair
and reasonable trial of their means of cure.
Dr. Tierce's Pleasant Pellets clear the
complexion and sweeten the breath, they
cleanse and regulate the stomach, liver and
bowels and produce permanent benefit and
do not re-act on the system. One is a
gentle laxative.

BICYCLE BORROWING.
Neither Horroiv Nor Lend la the Ral
fur All.
The ethics of bicycle borrowing are
beginning1 to agitate wheeling circles
now that What is termed the legitimate
riding season is at hand. Are cyclists
expected to allow other people to ride
their bicycles? This is the great ques
tion. In discussing it a genial and well
known wheelman, who has suffered per
haps as ni'uch as anyone from the bor
rowing habit, as practiced by other
cyclists, said:
"From the frequency with which re
quests 'cr the 'lofin of your wheel' arc
made by some jMiople one might be
pardoned for thinking that the sole
mission in this world of the owner of a
bicycle vns to lend it to all his friendis
ami acquaintances. Xow, as a matter ot
fact, no one has the least excuse for
making such a request of the owner of a
bicycle, and owners should firmly and
emphatically refuse to comply witJa
them when made. If a man or a wom
an cannot afford to pay for t lie amuse
ment ot' cycling they oucht to forego it,
1 do not mean by this that if an unusual
ly tri. ! fi:i and !rood-;;;i ( u-red friend of
fers to lend a I'ieyeie one is morally
bound 1o refuse it, but I do mean that
no one oi:.rlii to 1 .surprised or offended
if a reqiie.-t for the loan of a wheel is iv
f use. I.
"A bicycle is not a cheap, easily re
plaenl article, such an a baseball bat or
a pair of skates. Against the borrowing
of stieh 1 hinra there i no law, but your
w heel is a dili'erent mal cr. No one, not
even the most expert rii'er, can guaran
tee it against misha;'. even if the acci
dent ! only the pui;e;iire of a tire.
Too often, how ever, the pitfalls which
beset the nwt wary rider are far more
serious. The dnngus of crowded
street, where it seem. the chronic lxr-
row'r of bicycles most doth like to ride,
Hide is no need to enlarge upon. They
are. x common that the spectacle, of a
uh i oeing extricated fioni beneath a
beer wagon, a street car or a cab, no
h-rger p. t tracts a crowd, even on I5ro.nl
v?:y. lint even in h s.s frequented iroadu
a eyeiis; cannot always avoid d.imrcr.
r.ur nsure immunity for the machine he
is j-; ! : ; ir - Accidents, how ever, undesir
able they are, are of comparatively
sriiall ivoment s.o loni' as the damaged
wheel is your ow n. but if it is the prop
erty of tome "lie else the case assumes
a different -inip1e. ion. Few jrople en
joy the process of confessing that the
borrowed machine has conic to grief
vhiie in their hands, and I surpect that
few even of the most good-natured of
friends are r.ot moved to regiet their
un.sel.ishiiess when the mangled re
mains of their machine are brought
home.
Vevcr lend your whe 1. and sit down
mo-t ; ggressively on ail w ho .make a
request for a loan of it. These
ehmnic bifycle W.rrowrs should be
TU'ht lessons." y. S:;n.

The progress of invention in sub
marine navigation ha stimulated ef
forts to produce oxygen by cheaper
and easier methods. If oxygen, the
vital element in air, can be supplied as
wanted, the length of time that men
can remain under water nxny be indefi
nitely prolonged. A process of making
oxygen, invented by George F. Jaubert,
a French scientist, promises to answer
the requirement, says Science. Iiis
object was to find a solid substance
which would produce oxygen as cal
cium carbide produces acetylene gas.
He selected for the purpose a peroxide
of sodium, or of potassium, which can
be cheaply manufactured by electro-
enemicai means. it is called oxy-
hthe." and is made in little cubes and
pellets, some only half an inch in diam
eter. When decomposed with water it
gives off oxygen. Two or three ounces
of this substance supply enough oxy
gen to enable a diver to remain under
water for an hour. By suitable appa
ratus the carbonic oxide produced by
respiration is withdrawn into the oxy
gen generator, and fresh oxygen take

Christmas day, 1862, found the Army
of the Potomac in winter quarters near
Falmouth, Va., writes Major George F.
Williams in The Rider ami Driver. "With
that elasticity of spirit so characteristic
of the veteran soldier, the Union troops
had already recovered from the effects
of that terrible battle at Fredericksburg,
when the several corps were buffeted by
Lee's guns on St. Mary's Heights. Many
a familiar face was missing from the
ranks, but convalescents were rapidly
arriving from the hospital, and the army
was preparing for its approaching spring
and summer campaign, which ended at
Gettysburg.

one. Jim, however, knew the good qnal
ities of his beast, for they had often been
proved in critical moments. Always
adopting the character of a Virginia
farmer, Jim's nhaggy horse aided in the
deception, and only those who knew his
real character would recognize a famous
ecout in the queer picture he made in the
saddle.
"Seems to nie," said the scout, solilo
quizing, "those people in Washington
are always finding mare's nests. Here 1
am in the Loudon and not a reb in
sight."
As he uttered the words, Jim came to
another road which crossed the one he
hal been following. In an instant he
discovered the approach of a Confederate
cavalry patrol. Accustomed to such
perils, Jim very coolly checked his steed
and waited for the little party.
"Whar yeou cum from?' demanded the
cavalry leader as he and his men rode up.
"Bin down in Aldie," drawled Jim.
"Wont to see how things looked down
thar."

Professor Craig relates ho wan exceed
ingly ;n:iioyi;ig and costly mistake was
ui.uli' by an Jnglish nrni or seedsmen in
Idling orders from this country for seed
ot i li!-r rape with the seed or the com
mon bird r;;ne. Professor Craig inti
mates that most of the seed sent out to
f irmrs by seedsmen has been from this
importation of bird rape seed, and it ir
to be fear, d that nearly all who half
made a trial of rape this year will have
their troiihb for nothing.
Profex-or Craig states the difference
betwei n the two kinds of rape, which is
lhat the bird seed plant blossoms while
the other does not the first year. Before
he left -Malison (about the 25th inst.)
Mine of the rape on the college farm had
revealed its character by its blossom
and w;is prlmptly plowed under, and
this course l'role.-sor Craig recommends
vith all li. lds of rape which are iu
bloom. Th error is particularly exas
perating and may set back many year
the iniroduetion of this valuable foddel
plant. Bi'o. dcr'a Gazette.
