"I unhesitatingly advise expectant moth
ers to use Dr. l'ieree's Favorite Prescrip
tion, "writes Mis.J.W. O. Stephens, of Mila,
Northumberland Co., Va. The reason for
this advice is that Dr. Pierce's Favorite Pre
tention is the best preparative for the
maternal function. No matter how healthy
and strong a woman may be, she cannot
use "Favorite Prescription" as a prepara
tive for maternity without gain of health
oiid comfort. But it is the women who are
tiot strong who best appreciate the great
benefits received from the use of "Favorite
Prescription." For one thins its use makes
the 'a advent practically painless. It
!i is in many eases reduced days of suffer
ing to a few brief hours. It has changed
the period of anxiety and struggle into a
time of pi.se md comfort.
'iiie pioprietors and makers of Doctor
l'ieree's Favorite Prescription now feel

.TONES AND COLORS,
Discovery of a Remarkable Phenom
enon by a Scientist.
lLaj of Light AVhlck Produce Cer
tain Colors Correspond Kxaettly
with Certain Tone Vm In
Slualoal lHitrntiun,
It has been the dream of poets that
fome subtle, sympathetic relation ex
ists between tones and colors; that the
harmonizing of one and the artistic
blending of the others appeal to the
same sense of the beuutiful; that
sweet sounds and pleasing color
effects are very much akin. It has re
mained for a Philadelphia professor to
trace this phantasy to its source; to
materialize the vague impressions of
dreamers and to reduce them to a mat
ter of science, says the New York Her
ald. It has long been common knowl
edge that our conception of both musi
cal tones and colors is due to the effect
of vibrating waves of moyement, but it
Js something new to lciun that there is
a close and exact sympathetic rela
tionship between the notes of the scale
and the colors of the spectrum; that
the same system of nature governs
each and that discords arise in ill
matched hues from infringement of
the same rAiles which govern the com
bination of sounds according to the
science we call harmony.
It is amazing to learn that the seven
colors of the rainbow exactly corre
spond with the seven notes of the
gamut, anil that red. being the domi
nant, lias to the other colors the same
comparative refraiigibility, or "wave
lines," as the ciui.ihi.uu in any chord
has to the oilier noles in the scale. It
ill blend uiti&tieally and pleasingly
only with su'h colors as represent
liotes which in music may be harmon
iously u.m u with the dominant.
It is claimed by the discoverer of
this phc in (! tioti in science, and he
has devotol the last :-' years to the
? ; tidy of r la ! ionsliip between tone and
olor, that the rays of liirht which pro
duce red, at the base of the spectrum,
correspond exactly with sound waves
resj,; lisil.'e for "do," the keynote at
1be ba.v of the tot ic scale. Orange
corresponds with "re," yellow with
"no," liior. with "fa." blue with "sol,"
I urpl- with "la" and violet with "si."
JVfore scientific experiments and re
search s?a!.'!.di d these facts, argues
the professor, impressionists, poets
and painters felt this close union be
tween tone and color. Artists knew
that a warm splash of red, giving an
impression of prominence and nenr
"fs to the eye. woi.M dominate the
whole picture. "Do," the tonic in
nuisie, is recognized as the centripetal
t.irce. Opposite in effect is the cool,
I'm ;iI 1 Inc. which is in agreement
n ith "sol," the ch ar, ringing "fifth" of
tl." s"nle. ti(. tone of eentri fuiral force,
while lr.idv. iiy r.':d i:i perfict harmony
"mi." the yellow, the sweet but un
obtrusive "third" of the scale. These
three color combined form a most
pleasing group, while the correspond
ing tones form the tonic chord, the
basis of all harmonj.
This remarkable science, or theory,
whichever it may properly le called,
lias been put to practical purpose In
the artistic and, musical training of
little children, at an nge when their
mind are especially susceptible to im
pressions of sweet sounds and bright
colors, when the intelligence is mainly
woikii:g throiifc'h the medium of their
petiBes. . .!. .......
For this purpose an ingenious ar
rangement of colored balls and sticks
has been devised, by which the first
instincts of harmony are instilled into
children who have scarcely learned
their alphabet. At the same time they
become acquainted with the artistic
arrangement of colors.
While certain sequences or com
binations of colors are being exhib
ited, sympathetic melodies and chords
are heard, and the little ones quickly
learn to associate the two. ' After
awhile they will sing tunes hitherto
unlearned or unheard by them, mere
ly following the exhibition of the dif
ferent colors, which to them have be
come associated with and expressive
of tone. For instance, should the fol
lowing sequence of colors appear:
lied, lied, Orange, Violet, h'ed, Orange.
Yellow, Yellow, Green, Yellow, Orange,
lied,
Orange, Red, Violet, lied,
they would instinctively recognize the
! melody of "My Country, Tis of Thee,"
and heartily join in singing. To have
taught this by musical notation would
have been impossible.
When they have grown older the or
dinary method of musical tuition is
aided by the printing of each note in
its corresponding color. This is
claimed to show the essential unity of
the scale in all its different positions
on the staff, to give a pictorial repre
sentation of the modulations from key
to key and greatly to simplify the
study of harmony by showing at a
glance the reel character of the chord.

In Somersetshire the peasants have
no doubt as to the play of maleficent
influences, says the Academy. The pig
that falls ill and dies was '"overlooked."
A murrain "afdiets a farmer's cattle."
and off he goes to the '"white witch."
that is, to the old witch finder, to learn
who has "overlooked his things," and
to ascertain the best antidote, '"because
they there farriers can't do no good."
A child pines away with some mys
terious, wasting sickness, which the
Tipperary peasants,' as shown in the
recent falsely called "witch burning"
case, believe to be the work of fairies
in substituting a "changeling," but
which the Somerset woman refers to
the action of a witch who has cast a
fatal glance upon the victim.
Often she gives up not only hope, but
all effort to save the child, the conse
quent neglect, of course, hastens the
expected result and then it is: "Oh! I
;know'd very well he wouldn't never
r get no better. 'Tidn' no good for to
strive vor to go agin' it." This is no
fancy, no isolated case, but here in the
last decade of the nineteenth century
one of the commonest of everyday
facts.
While in England the belief is mostly
confined to rural districts in more back
ward countries, as Spain and Italy, it
flourishes in the large towns. In Na
ples the appearance of a person having
the ill-repute of a jettatore is the signal
for a general stampede, and Mr. El
worthy amusingly relates the fright
which he unwittingly gave a second
hand bookseller in Venice when asking
about a copj' of Valletto's "Cicalata
sul Fascino." On hearing the last
words of the title '"the man actually
turned ami bolted into his inner room,
leaving the customer in full possession
of his entire stock." I'io Xono was be
lieved to have the jet-itore and the
faithful, when seeking his blessing,
protectively pointed two fingers at him.

CAPITAL'S OMNIBUSES GONE.

"A great many people have asked
me what became of the old omni

was paved, and prior to the advent
tit ttlA tlA.a. in. 1 1
" ukcu io nam a i
monopoly of the passenger and trans

second-hand vehicle denier, according
to a Washington report. "In thost
day the city was as full of omni
buses as it is now of trolley cars, and
:ld residents have often wonderec
what becpruo of thorp "ami v. eavlv
painted concerns, capable of holding
10 people. When the street cars took
their places they wen torn up for
the material in them, until by lS.'
there was just one out of the several
lundred left standing in an old stable
jutside the city. There it remained,
neglected and forgotten, until the
Spanish-American war, when a local
drayage and transfer firm heard of it,
and purchased it for a song.
"The firm used it to carry passen
gers, soldiers, officers and visitors be
tween the city and Falls church anr
("amp Alger. It was a lucky hit. for
the old omnibus is to-day the largest
vehicle In the city, and will accommo
date 52 people. Finding it of ronsid
erable use, the firm, at the end of tin
war with Spain, decided to keep it
and since then has used it for small
picnic parties. It is out every Deco
ration day, carrying passengers tc
Arlington, and reminding the old vet
erans of the good old days of 1862. It
is the last relic of the omnibus period
of Washington civilization, and to-day
the largest thing on wheels in the
