It relieved me of pains from which I had suffered at times since my devel opment into womanhood. I think I owe my present good health to Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, and it has my highest endorsement as a woman's special tonic and. nervine." Any drug store. Tablets or liquid.

A man that knows how to mix pleas ures with business is never entirely possessed by them; he either quits or resumes them at his will; and in the use he makes of them he rather finds a relaxation of mind than a dangerous charm that might corrupt him.

The relatives of English peers do not officially belong to the English no bility, although to all purposes they are nobles. They, may, however, hold titles through courtesy, but according to English law the are mere commoners. Destroyed by Electricity. Big growers and shippers use elec tricity to kill insects that may lurk in bags of nuts. The sacks are run through an electric ironing machine which destroys, through heat and pressure, any insect eggs or larvae. Rifle Inventions. The flint-lock rifle was invented in France in the year 1G40. The percussion-lock rifle was patented by a Scotch clergyman named Alexander Forsyth in 1807, and had been adopt ed everywhere by 1S20.

This la a vivid place of Imagination dealing- with a thought that some time or another has come to us all. IN HEALTH, George Graves edited baseball news on a Quaker City daily. Now, aflame with fever, he tossed restlessly on a cot In Jef ferson hospital. In delirium he sometimes cheered ghostly ball players or sat up In bed to better write imaginary snappy nar ratives of the drama bis heated brain unfolded before him. When rational, his sparkles of wholesome wit, his calm courage, and pleasing courtesy gave zest and spirit to the surgical ward where he lay. The medical wards were overflow ing, every private room was engaged, hence Graves was allowed to trespuss on the good graces of "Big Jim" Ken nedy, the house surgeon for the surgi cal section. He had once roomed in the same flats with the newspuper man and took a lively interest in his welfare. The usual crisis was near for Graves. His friends on the paper had chipped In generously, from managing editor to copy boys, and tbe best physicians In the city were bis at tendants. His condition was serious. A black depression shadowed his desk In the Broad street skyscraper. Ha woke at midnight, entirely ra tional. There was a bustle at the door. Someone was brought in on a stretcher. A bed next his own was prepared, the figure was lifted into it. Graves thought he saw two sleek Chinamen standing near, looking with 'sad faces at the bed. When they had (one, to make sure, he called Kennedy. "Thlee Lung, Chink," said the doc jtor. "The chaps you saw by the bed are his brothers. Hich, but has bad case peritonitis. Native doctor on Race street prescribed yellow paper with tumble-ban sauce, to cast out the devils In bis body Only one chance for him operation tomorrow, washing out of abdominal cavity with saline 'solution may live may die." The foot of the Chinaman's bed was propped up rather high when Graves woke the next day, near noon. The faint smell of ether came to him. Presently the patient began to Jabber. Graves sat up In bed, his matted hair clustering In wads around his gunt face, with Its ragged ends of fever beard. But bis eyes sparkled, and a smile twitched the corners of his mouth. His friends scented the fun. "Thlee Lung will now give the Chi nese version of a Swiss mountaineer yodellng," he sputtered. "One lung would fall I Observe hlni carefully, gentlemen P As tbe etherlc sleep steadily lifted from the Chinaman, he renewed his Jabbering, mixing our English pro fanity with plaintive high-keyed bluts In bis mother tongue. At the first pause Graves spoke again: "Imitation of a steamboat making a landing. Notice particularly the whistle and its absolute fidelity to na ture I" Piping yelps, ludicrously like the whistle, Immediately followed. The Chinaman's after-operation agony was Intensified by his high fever. In spite of the seriousness of the case the oth er patients roared with laughter at the predictions and their humorous realisation. "Be a good boy, Mr. Graves," said the nurse, coming up to his bed. "Lie !down and try to sleep." Graves had a rise of two degrees jtn temperature, and the ice-water tub 'was rolled to his bedside. He stood It like the game fellow that be was, and experienced much relief when wrapped In a blanket afterward. Presently he found himself on the brink of a very high cliff. Over Its edge ran a wire cable, and hanging from It were many ropes, each at tached to a stout pulley which ran along the top of the cable. Garbed and bearded like the pic tures In the family Bible, a patriarch stood near the cliffs brink, writing In a huge book the names of people who came there.- Each arrival caught one of the ropes and slid over the edge of the cliff, suspended from the heavy cable. All shot down Into the dense mist be low and vanished. Their destination was hidden from view. Tbe throng was very large and it seemed to Graves t:.at they would never stop coming. It reminded him of the crowds arriving at tlr city parks on a sultry Saturday night. Grave-faced men with frock coats and silk bats were there; women of the gutter ; children and even babies ; ' tvirnii tit nrnrlr 1 n crfnpn nml vnnthi and maids. Every type of humanity, every color and every garb that Graves had ever seen in the world's activities or beheld In pictured presentation, was there. The panorama of person ality dazed him. There was not a word spoken, not a whisper exchanged between any of the arrivals; even the babies voiced no cry of pain or gurgle of pleasur able emotion. There seemed to be a complete apathy or Insensibility of any one personality with regard to the presence or condition of any other In the gathering. Graves wss puz zled. He came at last before the patri arch, and murmured bis name In re sponse to some Inward prompting. He was told to swing over the brink as those had done who had preceded him. "But why?" said he. "This is death!" replied the patri arch, as he took the name of a beau tiful woman and then that of a gen eral in full uniform who was just be hind her. "What?" ejaculated the amazed young man. "This is death!" calmly replied the registrar, and he again wrote the names of several. One of them wore garments of fine linen, one the taw dry garb of the slums. "Does everyone die In this way?" asked Graves. It was so different from what he had Imagined It would be. "Yes!" "Kings and queens, and great gen erals, laborers and paupers, sick wom en and tender babies?" "Yes !" "But," went on the bewildered young man, "I was always taught that at death there was a classi3cation made " "There Is a switch on the cable In the mist below," answered the grave ly majestic figure. "There It Is known where each Is to go and there are no mistakes when the paths divide." Graves pondered. More people passed him. The procession seemed endless. Back In the throng he saw a Chinaman it was the same one who had occupied the bed next to him in Jefferson hospital. "Well," said he, and there was no fear in his heart as he spoke, "if fragile babies and gentle ladies, brave generals, criminals and saints must all go through the same procedure, I guess It Is good enough for me." He reached out his hand for the pendant rope. The Chinaman stepped in front of him, Jerked it from his fingers, and swung over the cliff. He looked around. The hospital walls stared at him. It was midnight and very still. Kennedy and the nurse bent over the bed next to his. They were putting a screen around it. He raised feebly on bis elbow to see bet ter and noticed that he was perspiring freely. The nurse turned to him. "Don't make any noise, Mr. (iraves. The Chinaman Is Just going over the river 1" race IMPROVEMENT SEEN IN BREEDING STOCK All States Recognize Laws Made by Others The Constitution of the United States imposes certain obligations upon the states In their dealings with each other, Section 1, Article IV, pro viding thai "full faith and credit shall be given in each state to the public acts, records and judicial proceedings of every other state." This clause has been held to mean that In civil cases, when the courts of one state have given a Judgment, such Judgment will be recognized and enforced by the courts of every other state without a new trial. It also ieuns that con tracts legally entered Into In one state are binding and enforceable In anoth er. In the matter of divorce, by this clause a state is required to recognize a divorce granted In any other state, even though It may have been granted for reasons for which the laws 6f the first state would not allow a divorce. The only restriction which courts have upheld in their interpretation of this clause of the Constitution is that the state granting the divorce shall have Jurisdiction over the parties; that is, that the party should have a bona fide residence within the state and that proper notice of suit should be given. Thus New York must recognize Ne vada divorces if it be shown that the plaintiff had a legal residence in Ne vada and the defendant had been le gally notified of the suit. Palestine There are so many things that might be said about Palestine In spring time ! To begin with, It Is one of the must beautiful countries In the world. It is well worth visiting for Its own lake, quite apart from Its religious associa tions. The wild flowers on the Judean hills, standing out In their bright red and yellow and blue against the bare rock (for there Is very little grass), are a sight to be remembered ; and they set you wondering whether the makers of those stained-glass windows In our Gothic churches can all of them have been to Palestine, for the flowers shown there have always an unnatural brightness and absence of a green background. C. W., in The Outlook (London). Engineer With a Heart The train was speeding along toward the tunnel and the eclipse was gradu ally getting to total. Westchester com muters were straining their eyes for a final glimpse, many wishing the train would get In a Jam so that they could see the great show. Then the train stopped. It remained still until the sun was entirely covered and then moved quickly Into the tunnel. The engine driver produced more good will for that road than weeks of propaganda and dozens of official proc lamations, and at Grand Central many passengers moved forward to thank him. Wall Street Journal. (Prepared ky the United States Department f- Agriculture.) More than 1,000,000 head of breeding stock on farms in the United States are undergoing systematic Improve ment through the use of pure bred sires, according to a report Just Is sued by the bureau of animal indus try, United States Department of Agri culture. Persons participating in this work at the close of the year 1924 numbered 15,137 exclusive users of pure bred sires, widely distributed among 40 states. The department, in conjunction with state and county ex tension workers, Is aiding these stock owners to Improve their methods of breeding and feeding. This organized plan known as tbe better-sires-better-stock campaign has resulted in noticeable rivalry nmong counties and states, where agricultural leaders have used it as a means of bettering farm live stock. Ohio, Ken tucky and Virginia each have more than 2,000 farmers enrolled In the cam paign. Largely through the activities of county extension agents, 40 coun ties In nine states each have the dis tinction of possessing 100 or more live stock owners who are using pure bred slrea exclusively In all their live stock breeding operations. Pulaski county, Virginia, leads the list with 592 such breeders, and Union county, Kentucky, Is second with 457 participants. The chief advances in the progress of the work during the last three months of 1924 occurred In Kentucky, Vermont and Ohio. A conspicuous new center of interest In this field of live stock betterment was In Lee county, Iowa. Altogether 235 additional stock owners affiliated themselves with the cause during the three-month period. In commenting on the keen Interest which live stock owners are taking In systematic Improvement by the better sires route, specialists of the bureau of animal Industry call attention to the most Important result of the work namely, the superior types of animals which these breeders are raising and the substantial market benefits they are deriving. As a typical, example, an Oklahoma stock owner reported to the department that "the difference In price on the market more than pays to keep pure breds even though we sell no breeding stock." Scores of similar reports show that the benefits are practically the same In all parts of the country. The department's rec ords, showing the gradual growth of the better-sires movement, appear to be an Index to the growing prevalence of good live stock on farms and in market centers. But before good live stock can be produced In large numbers, the spe cialists add, there must be a wide ap preciation of tbe utility value of good breeding coupled with the actual use of high-class pure bred sires at the head of tbe herds and flocks. The better-slres-better-stock campaign un dertakes to supply this need In an educational way. Any live stock owner who replaces his Inferior mule breeding animals with good pure breds la eligible to take an active part in this work. The de partment grants each participant a barn sign, "Pure Bred Sires Exclusive ly Used on This Farm," besides fur nishlng helpful Information on the breeding, feeding and care of farm animals. The new report on the progress of the work , contains summaries of state and county activities, statistics on number, kind and breeding of animals, announcements and terse facts on tbe practical value of Improved stock. It contains nine pages and Is in mimeo graphed form. Copies may be obtained, as long as the supply lasts, from the bureau of animal Industry, United States Department of Agriculture, Washington.

Boston Globe. Breed Dairy Cows for Late Fall Freshening Dairymen who can successfully prac tlce a system whereby their cows will freshen during the early winter months almost Invariably make a greater net return and find that the cow's pro duction holds up longer, as when spring grass comes the milk flow Is stimulated after three or four months of winter production. In addition the price of butterfut Is Increased during these months, which Is an added Inducement for early win ter freshening. The fact that most fanners have more time at their disposal during the winter than during the growing sea son constitutes the third Important reason for having the cows freshen during- the late fall and early winter months. II. It. Lascellea, Colorado State Dairy Commissioner. Calf Needs Colostrum All calves should have sn opportu nity to suck their dams st least two or three times because, as dairymen well know, the first milk, or colostrum. Is necessary for the new-born calf In order to clean out Its bowels. This milk seems to be laxative; nature has made It so for a specific purpose and tbat Is why a rslf should suck Its darn for at least a day or two. After that It Is best to resort to hand feeding.
