He stood Brmiy for the use of injuntions in ia bor disputes, a thing for which he has been rebuked by iabor organizations. But he deciared that he was whoiiy opposed to the ex parte injunctions and deciared they shouid be issued only after notice had been given and a hearing heid.

PEMANA RAtERQAE Bulletin THE M!D-W)NTER OUUNG. This is the time for the midwinter outing. A dash of summer in the midst of winter is an agreeabie variation. It makes for health and pleasure and stimulates vitality. For the extended trip, Southern California, the fruit and dower land of the Pacidc Coast, offers unrivaled attrac tions. For the fortnight's trip, Florida, the summer garden of the Northern winter, bids you come and enjoy its genial sunshine, its tropical scenes and its out-door life. For the ten days' outing, Pinehurst, Camden, Aiken, Augusta, Southern Pines and other popular resorts in the pine belt of the Carolinas and Georgia offer many induce ments. For the short trip—the week-end outing—Atlantic City is always attractive. The same breezes that depress the thermometer in summer seem to keep it up in winter. It offers great hotels on the ocean's edge, out-of-door life on land and sea, and a climate full of snap but shorn of the winter severity. Before deciding on your midwinter outing consult a Pennsylvania Railroad Ticket Agent and get a Pennsylvania Railroad Winter Excursion Book. Whether you select Cali fornia, Florida, the Carolinas, or Atlantic City, the Pennsyl vania Railroad offers a comprehensive train service, reason able rates and ticketing arrangements, and the best facilities that modem transportation methods can provide.

D. if, ..it Los Angetes, Cai., Tam. 12—In this sermon, n fitting close to the aUnua! season of hospitaitty And good cheer, the preacher reminds ns of the iesson of divine generosity and sympathy taught us by the Master of the Gaii iean hiitside feast. The text is John vi, 12, "Gather up the fragments that remain that nothing be lost." Most instructive and suggestive is this miracie of the feeding of the 5,000. A great throng has followed Jesus in to the desert. They have seen the blind eyes opened, the ieper cured, the maniac restored, and they wonder what he wiii do next. They are so absorbed watching him and iistening to him that they forget their food, forget how far they are away from any piace where it is soid. Jesus iooks around on the eager faces and thinks of their need. ''Send them away to get food," say his disciples when he mentions their hunger. But Jesus says they are faint and many of them came from a ioag distance. He is concerned about them. He is not iike some of his foi iowers in the present day, who think the church has done its whole duty when it has looked to the spirituai wants of the peopie. "Give ye them to eat," he says, and out of the meager Huppiy of Bve loaves and two Hshes he makes a bodnOfui repast suhcient for the whoie company, and there are jMhen sli haste been satisfied. Ho never does anything by haives. He gives abun daace, and he gives it freeiy. As he said about the spirituai tife, "1 am come that they might have iife and that they might have it more abun dandy" j# Then Jesus said: "There are hun y dreds of poor peopie in yonder towns r of Capernaum and Magdaia and Ti berias. Let us not waste this food. Let us gather up ali and give it to those who wouid be giad to eat it" So the disc [pies went among the peopie and gathered up the wholesome bread and hah. When aii was in, there were twelve bashetfuis. Then methinks Jesus arose and said: "If there are any hero who know of poor peopie in yon der towns who need this food, i wish they would come forward and take some of this ash and bread to them. God never wants us to waste that which can sustain iife and be of use to our foiiow men." Christ feeding the multitude upon the hiiisides fringing the sea of GaiHee is symbolical in the first piace of the in anity of God's pardon and iove. It is eymboiical of that offering which Christ made when he gave his body and shed his biood to redeem aii who wiii come to his mercy seat. When the Jews were looking for their Mes siah they were looking for a Hebrew Christ. They were not looking for a Christ to save the barbarian and the Greek. Peopie sHli make that mistake they are looking for a sectarian Christ. They are iooking for a Christ who Will come holding in his hand a Westminster confession of faith or an Episcopalian prayer hook. But Jesus, by breaking the bread and the hshes for aii who were ahungered, proved that he had come as a world's Christ and a world's Saviour. Th* Prop)* Did Not Como. I once read of a famtty in the east who had anddeniy come into great wealth. With their money they were abie to purchase a paiace and have scores of servants to run at their bid ding. They were abie to have horses and carriages and iiveried coachmen and footmen. But there was one thing they craved from their new neighbors, and that was social recognition. So they prepared a great banquet. They sent their invitations broadcast. They did not know that the people among whom they had come to live were proud and despised them. And when the night ef the reception arrived hard ly one of the guests came. There was the great mansion aii lighted up. There were the orchestra and the wait ing servants. There was the stateiy dining room with its poiished stiver and rich viands. But the rooms for the most part were empty, and the banquet was without any merry guests. That is a symboi of the banquet which Christ has prepared for the worid. He not oniy prepared a spirituat banquet for the multitudes which sat at his feet, but for ali those in the cities about the sea. of- Gaiilee^and for ail ih FaiestlueT audfor all who were tTvlng In other lands, and for generations yet to be bom. Oh, the provision which Jesus has made for the redemption of the human race! Could It be more uni versal In Its scope? Christ has made provision for the re demption of the world to the utter most. His body has been broken. The virtue of his sacrifice Is enough to cover all the world. Could I present to yon a better symbol than the loaves and the Hshes which satisfied the mul titudes, and there was a surplus of twelve basketsful? One dark night a half clothed girl, a terror stricken girl, timidly knocked at the door of a Lon don missionary. When the door was opened she said: "Be you the preacher that told us down at the mission the other night, that Jesus could save to, the uttermost? Well, come; come quickly. My, father came home drunk tonight and stabbed mother, and he Is In a perfect frenzy of rage. He is all right when he la not drunk, but he Is hunk #9W, and I want Jeans to save him." The missionary qutcRty put on his clothes and starte.i. There in a poor tenement he found the bleeding wife tying upon a bed of straw. There was the Intoxicated husband, who had stab bed her because she had nothing for him to eat. The missionary turned to speak to the husband when the half clad girl said: "Don't talk to him. Don't talk. If talking could have saved him he would have been saved long ago. You must ask Jesus to save him, who you said could save to the uttermost." When the young girl spoke the missionary said: "That Is so. Only Christ can save." And he drop ped down.on his knees and pleaded with God to save the brutal father. And Christ answered the prayer. As the missionary* prayed tears of remorse rained down the father's cheeks. Yes, Christ came to save to the uttermost. He made provision for the salvation of all who would come to him and be saved. Can you not Bud the symbol In the miracle of the loaves and fishes feeding the multitude, and also In the figure of Jesus standing at the last supper and saying, "This Is my body broken for you?" Yea, for you. A Tempera) Feast Provided. But the Christ of my text is not only the provider of a spiritual feast, but of a temporal one as well. He cares for the body as weli as for the sou). He )s not a fanatic who expects his disci pies to !ive altogether in the cloud lands. He demands that his people have their feet planted upon the solid earth, though their heads may be lifted above the stars. So when Christ knows that the multitudes have been following him ail day long, and that there are weak women and iittle chil dren there, and some tired men there, faint from hunger, he turns to his dis ciples and says: "Make the multitudes sit down. I must provide them some thing to eat.*^We cannot send these peocia jinw mtMtpK fades a xp&wn. Then Christ begins to break the bread and the fishes and feeds them untii they are satisfied, and there are twelve basketfuis ieft. Cannot you see that this is a ioving Christ, a tender Christ, a sympathetic Christ, who would not iet one of his own be in physical want? I believe Christ fed those multitudes hot only to provide food for the hun gry, but aiso to teach UB that one of the easiest ways to reach a sinner's heart is by providing food for his stomach. I have read attacks upon Christian workers who give so much of their time to looking after the tern poral wants of mankind. "Preach the word!" these critics cry. "Preach the word! Teii men to come to Christ, and then aii wlii be right. Loaves of bread and bowis of soup wiil not take the piace of the bread of life." That Is all true. But there Is no way so easy to reach a man's heart and lay it bare for the sowing of the gospei seed as to took drst after his temporal wants. Suppose today I am a poor laborer. Suppose I have a iarge family of chil dren and a sick wife and oniy small wages to feed the hungry mouths. Then suppose some good missionaries come to my home and bring to my wife certain delicacies and good warm shoes for my babies. What Is the effect on my mind? "Why," I say, "If those people do all that for me and mine they must care for me." Then if those people ask me to iet my chil dren go to their Sunday school do you not believe I will gladly let them go? t)o you not believe I also would glad ly go with them to church? If Christ was ready to care for the temporal wants of the multitudes to whom he was preaching the gospel, can we af ford to Ignore the temporal wants of our fellow men by our side? Furthermore, the church that looks after the temporal wants of Its people Is the successful spiritual church. And the converse Is also true. The church that Is not willing to care for the tem poral wants of Its household of faith Is not a successful spiritual church, and there Is no exception to the rule. As an Illustration I point you to the history of the Salvation Army. The whole cause of Its marvelous success for Christ Is because Its members go out Into the highways snd the hedges with sympathy and help. A dear friend of mine spent many weeks some years ago in studying this work in the great metropolis of England, and he vividly described their way of doing God's service. Work of Salvation Army. In the Brst place, they have large halls In which on cold winter nights they gather the derelicts and the home less, the outcasts, the discouraged and the poverty stricken. There they serve them bowls of soup. While these poor fellows were eating In one of the halls my friend saw a great, stalwart man ladling out the soup, while he was say ing: "Here you are, boys. Bat all you want Here, you, will-always ^ntL a welcome! But^oh, men, why do you not give up stn? If you would only give up your sins and come to Christ he would never allow you to be hun gry and frlendiesB. Look at me. I was once just as you fellows are. No man ever fell lower Into sin than I did. But Christ took me and cleansed me, and he has cared for me. He will do the same for you If you are will ing." The two things seemed to go together, the soup and the sermon, "and," my friend added, "I never heard a more Impressive sermon In my life." Then the Salvation Army leaders took my friend Into their match fac tory. They said: "Here we provide work for men. Here we teach them to do something. Here they may earn their breed and their clothes. Then when they are Ht we send them to our Australian and Canadian colonies, where they can start life anew." This Is the way to preach Christ to the poor. It was Christ's way, and It Is still the effective way. It Is the way the Chrls tlon world has done and Is doing to day to the hungry In famine stricken foreign lands—in America, In India, in Russia and In Ireland. It Is the way Christ's followers are doing among our own helpless poor here at home, from the Bowery mission bread line In New York, with its thousands of, gaunt, famished men and boys, to the great army of the unfortunate who had to be fed and supported In strick en San Francisco. Can we not feed the hungry and clothe the naked and give crutches to the lame when we are trying to lead them to the cross) Many men would gladly receive the bread of life If we would first give them a five cent loaf of wheat bread baked In the oven of love. Many would have their sins washed In the Mood of the lamb if we would only teach them first how to get Into a bath tub and give them some clean linen to dress In. You cannot separate man's temporal needs from his spiritual needs. The two go side by side. And Jesus, when he saw the multitudes ahungered, bade them sit down, and he fed them with the Qve loaves and two ashes until all were fed, and there were twelve basketfula left over. Then he said, "Gather up the frag ments that nothing be lost." nelptng Uur tnemtes. But there is another fact you must bear well in mind. Jesps gave food to enemies and scoffers as well as to dis cipies and friends. He did not break a ioaf of bread in haif and say: "Here, Peter, this is for you and your wife and her mother, and here, John, this is for you and your brother, and here, Matthew, this is for you and the chii dren. We must took after our own and iet others iook after themseives." No, no; that was not Christ's way. He iooked off and saw a iot of hungry peo pie. He said: "Feed ail. Some may be my enemies, some may be bitter against me, but that does not matter. Here are people in trouble, and I pamd Par.- tbr .i. alike." that the way you and I preach i^e gas* pei? If we see any one in tronbie, are we witling to extend the heiping hand, no matter whether he iikes of dislikes us? Remember, it is the Chris tian's duty to heip ail, no matter who they may be, as iong as they are in trouble and we can help them. 'But, though we should help all alike, how hard it is for some of us to ex tend the helping hand to those who we know hate us and are trying to under mine our inHuence. As these discipies are carrying the bread and the Ushes I see them approach one of the treach erous spies of the high priest. The spy is hungry and reaches out his hand for food. "Shall we give it to him?" they ask. "Yes," says Christ "But the man is here simply," they urge, "for the purpose of getting evidence against thee. Shali we feed our ene mies?" "Yes," says Christ. "If ye love them that love you, what reward have ye? Do not even the publicans the same? And if ye salute your brethren only, "what do ye more than others? Do not even the gentiles the same?" My brother, in your Christian work are you ready to extend the hand of love to those who. have smitten your cheek and are ready to smite you again and again? Remember, Christ today bids you to love your enemies and do good to those that despitefully use you. Fargivenen For Enemies. "Oh," says soma one, "I am wiiiing to heip my friends. I am wiiiing to help strangers. But do not put my re iigion to such an awful test that I must help my enemies." Yes, my friend, that is what I am going to do. Yet not I, but the Christ who fed the multi tudes. Teil me this: Couid you tove Christ as the forgiver of aii sins if at that feast he had fed only his friends and let his enemies starve? And how can you expect Christ to forgive you your sins unless at the same time y.ou are willing to forgive thoso who have trespassed against you? it is toid that when the dauphin of France ascended the French throne as Louis XII. he had many enemies. He made a iist of I his enemies and placed a Mack cross by the side of each name. When the enemies heard what the king had done they ded out of the country. But the king sent word to them, saying: "I did not piace the black cross alongside of your name to seal your doom, b#t oniy to remind me of the cross of Christ. When I looked at this cross I couid say: 'Christ has forgiven me my sins. Then I must be wiiiing to forgive the sins of my enemies Oh, my broth er, by the feast of the ioaves and ashes can you not ieam the iesson of helping your enemies as weii as your friends? Do it not oniy for your own sake, but aiso do it for Christ's sake. The Weak Thing, of the Worid. But there is another fact which it is weii for you to notice about this feast. Jesus Christ, when he performs his materia) and spiritua! miracies, often nses the most insieniacant means. g& does not aiwaysTseek the great men of the worid to achieve his mightiest re suits, but by the weak things of the woHd God often confounds the mighty. When the miiiennium comes "the woif shaii dweit with the iamb and the ieop and shaii Me down with the kid and the caif and the young Mon and the fatiing together, and a iittie chiid shaii iead them." Thus it is today. Some times by the weak hand of a iittie chMd God is ieading us to the cross. And sometimes it is by the iittie work of a chiid or the humbie act of one of the most insignificant peopie that God is abie to get his greatest resuits Have you never heard the story of the iitH^brptian chiid who one coid winter night was standing upon the street cor ner of an eastern city? He was iook ing for some one to come after him. A gentieman saw this poor iittie rag ged urchin standing there. Then, out of pity, he crossed the street and said to the iittie boy: "Are you iost? Are yon expecting some one?" "Yes," an swered the shivering chiid, "I am ex pecting God to send some one to iook after me. Last week my mamma died, and just before she dted she said. "Chariie, God wit) send some one to take care of you,' and my mamma never iied. I know God wiii soon send some one aiong." Then the boy raised his eyes as he said: "Mister, be you the man God has sent? Why have you been so tong coming?" Then the gentleman said, "Yes, Ghariie, God has sent me to take you home." As he ied the tittle fellow to his home that lit tle fellow's faith led the man to Christ Has it not been thus in your life? Has it not been some weak, humble Chris tian who has led you first to Christ? And tel) me, brother, if some weak Christian has been able to do all this for you, can you not, even in your weakness, iead some one else to the cross? But there is stiil one thought I want you to notice about this feast. The very discipies, the very apostles who were to distribute the food, had no re alization of what Christ was to do. They did not dream that he would or could feed that great multitude out oi a little iunch basket. But when Jesus told them to make the multitudes sit down they obeyed his command. And when Christ broke the bread and the Hshes they distributed them to the hungry mouths. Is not this a lesson for us? Let us obey Christ and he will give the blessing. We cannot un derstand how he will do it. That is mot our affair. It is for us to obey, and he will send the increase. Shall we, like the multitudes upon the Galilean hillside, carry the twelve basketfuls of fragments of our spiritual blessings left over from this spiritual feast to our friends? Shall we carry the bread of life to our brothers and sisters, our children and parents? Are we ready now to become gospei evangelists, to go forth and spread the news that Christ is our Saviour and that he is r off ail who will come to by Louis Klopsch.] They Were Acquainted. When Senator Knox of Pennsyiva nia was abroad recentty he was met at the station in Paris by a member of the American embassy. After the sen ator and his friend had exchanged greetings the diplomat remarked: "By the way, senator, the handsomest wo man in continents! society is in the station. Wouidn't you iike to meet her?" "No iess honored than deiight ed," returned the senator gaiiantiy. Thereupon the two men crossed the Qare du Nord and a second inter the diplomat was saying, "Countess, aiiow me to present one of your distinguish ed coontrymen." Turning, the count ess after one quick giance rushed to ward the senator and, throwing her arms about his neck, exciaimed, "Why. Uncie Phi), you dear oid thing, whet ever did you come from anyway?" It was Countess Gontaut de Biron, who before her marriage was Martha Leishman, daughter of the American ambassador to Turkey. Years ago, be fore the Knoxes or Leishmans became known to the worid at large, the two families were near neighbors at their homes in Pittsburg. As a short frock ed miss of the sehooigiri genus Martha Leishman was a great chum of Sena tor Knox's oniy daughter, and to this day the countess is looked upon as a member of the senator's family. The Book Was Found Guitty. Even in Russia it does not often hap pen that a charge is brought against a book and not against the author or publishers thereof. Yet a ease of this kind was brought before the Warsaw courts the other day. The charge was iaid against a work by a certain Gus tave Raumfeid as being of a nature "likeiy to arouse its readers to revoiu tionary actions." The dock was empty, and evidence was given by the poiice, who ,had confiscated the book. The verdict was pronounced against the book and amounted to an order that it should be burned. The explanation of this peculiar incident is that the book in question was discovered by the po iice white stiii in the printer's hands, and that, as it had not yet been pub lished, neither the author nor the pub lisher was held responsible for its rev olutionary tendencies. Ail the blame was iaid on the book, of which every sheet has been destroyed. Congretsman Catse) Acemed.

A SURPmSED SALESMAN. ,'Iis Experience in Trying to Market a Big Stock of Bibtea. This is a pubiisher's story of "one of he six best setters of the year." A -vhoiesaie publishing house had been manufacturing Bibies. ranging from ho great iiiustrated tome with biank eaves between the two Testaments for he famiiy register down to the pocket edition of the tmmortai work of fiext bie covers and giit edged ieaves. Suddenly this New York house de cided to go out of business. It had a stock of Bibies numbering between 20,000 and 23,000 voiumes. It was decided, if possibie, to ciose the whoie stock out at a sacrifice if need be, and for the purpose a skiitfui saiesman was sent to Chicago to fee) the puise of a great west side mnti order house. The saiesman didn't iike the job. "Twenty thousand Btbies in a bunch!" was his reiterated exciama tion aii the way from New York. At the mat) order piant he went from one big budding to another in trading down the buyer who he thought might faint at his figures. Business instincts prompted him to represent himseif as a saiesman from a house which was in the business and which might have in tended to remain in the business in dedniteiy. and on this basis, showing his sampies, the saiesman taiked. Fi naiiy the buyer for the house excused himseif, evidentiy to taik with some other department head, though the saiesman wasn't at ad sure that he wouid not cad a patroi wagon to take away a dangerous iunatic. In a few minutes the buyer returned. "We'd take the tot at the prices you name," said he, "but oniy on this con dition—that you contract with us to de iiver 250,000 of them within tweive months at the rate of 25,000 a month." At which the saiesman's impuise was to run for the patroi wagon untii it was made ciear to him that by mar gins of hundreds of thousands the Bi bie is the best seiling book that ever came from the printing press. Year after year, in hundreds of thousands, the mad order houses are setting Bi bies.

Mr. Lauterbach siso wished to have noted the fact that upon teaming of the indictments his client had surren dered to Commissioner Shieids. Mr. Lauterbach, continuing explana tion of Mr. Heinze's arrest, said that his client supposed that these certifica tions were property entered in the books of the bank. Mr. Lauterbach deciared that it was mereiy a matter of bookkeeping, which his ciient sup posed had been property attended to on that day. M seemed, he said, as though some of the entries may have run over to the foiiowing ptoming, and upon this point the ind'ctmen' heen 'baaedr- i The indictment against Heinze, which is a iengthy document, alleges that Hbinze made the overcertidcations in his capacity as president of the Mer cantile National bank. The various counts of the indictment give the va rious checks aiieged to have been over certiAed. The indictment was found under sec tion 6208 of the revised statutes, which says that an ofBciai of a bank found guilty of such action is iiahie to not iess than Hve years nor more than ten years' imprisonment. Thirty Counts in indiotmsnts. There were thirty counts against Heinze in the indictments. Fifteen of them are charges of overcertification on fifteen separate checks. One charges him with attempting to injure and de fraud the banking association and mis applying funds to the use of Otto Heinze Go. without the consent of the Mercantiie National bank. The re mainder of the counts have to do with the execution of the certification by two clerks, George A. Cooper and Wil liam K. Pangbom, under Heinze's or ders. It is alleged that Heinze knew that Otto Heinze Co. did not have to its credit the sums named in the various checks. The sixteenth count in the indictment charges that Heinze inten tionally applied the funds of the bank and without the knowledge of the di rectorate to the payments of the fif teen checks drawn by Otto Heinze Co. and knowing that the company did not have on deposit with the bank a sum equal to the amount named In the certified checks.

The ring watch, though iittle seen, is no aoveity. The manager of an oid Lon i don watchmaking arm says that he I saw them mwe than fourteen years ago. Queen Victoria had three or four.

Life Sin Prints That Coa*%a Thousand Doiiars Each. Time was, and not so (ma ny years ago, when ordering caMnett photo graphs at $10 or so a dozen! was re garded as enongh of a imurytto cause one to count over and over a)gain the friends that realty must be favored, whiie imperials, costing twice as much, were the height of extravagance To day a photographer has just perfected a camera whereby he is prepared to take likenesses at $1,000 apiece. These photographs arc Mfe size prints. To make these photographs the pho tographer has bttiit a speciai camera, very iikeiy the biggest ever, for such a purpose. It is realty an entire room, the Mack waits, ceiling and Boor of which correspond to the cioth thrown over the ordinary apparatus. Within this room camera the operator can walk about and accomplish wonders hitherto impossible to him. Impressive as a thousand dollar pho tograph sounds, it is not so extrava gant in one way as it seems. The other day a man dropped into the same studio and, seeing framed and hanging on the wati a repiica of a photograph of himseif for which he had paid $200 for a single print, remarked: "I would rather have that photo graph at the cost of an oii painting of myseif than an oii painting at the cost of the photograph." In other words, he and his family had got more satisfaction out of an ex penditure of $200 than if he had paid a portrait painter the $2,800 or so that his means could as convenientiy have afforded. What is true of the $200 photograph is correspondingiy true of the $1,000 photograph, for in the latter case the dimensions are brought up te the size of the conventional painted portrait While the 31,000 photograph dis counts the future a bit, the $100 arti cle Is already out of the class of rari ties. The Cnest made at this prloe each are carbon prints on canvas. An Indescribable softness Is furnish ed by this canvas, the texture of which Is apparent at close range, and the general effect Is that of a painting In monotone, a rich brown In countless shadings that blend Into a perfect whole. Such a photograph should of course be absolutely permanent The same photograph In a carbon print on Japan paper costs $150. The size Is 25 by 80 Inches. As for photographs at 3100 a dozen exquisite platinum prints 11 by 14 Inches on large mounts that fold once —they are not merely an extravagance of the rich, but the moderately well to do are Indulging In them. Fancy a photographer getting an order feu* 3400 worth of work from one young ma tron! Yet neither the customer nor the photographer thought anything of '.'t. This was not for a couple of high 'tX*' ftir'to'r f°r a miscellaneous lot or p otographs, sittings of herself and her children. Men pay $100 a dozen for photo graphs quite as readily as women. Photographs at $45 a dozen and $30 a dozen have become a mere common place of extravagance and are only a luxury to people of moderate means.— New York Sun. The Seven Lean Yeare. The iate discoveries of Brugsch Bey !n connection with the Egyptian hiero giyphics which he deciphered are the subject of an articie in the Oester reichische Wochenschrift, in which the writer says that it is no ionger diiBcuit to understand the origin of the "seven iean years" narrated in the book of Genesis. The inscriptions as trans- iated by Brugsch show that 1,700 years before the Christian era the Ntie for seven consecutive years did not over sow, and famine, pestiience and mis ery foiiowed. "We know," says the writer, "that the date of the seven years of fruitiessness mentioned in I Genesis was 1700 B. C., and thus what has been iooked upon as a fancy has through these hierogiyphics become a matter of history. The failure of the Nile to oversow, the withering of the vegetation, the iands devoid of crops, famine and the consequent scourges are aii depicted in the pictures which the student has been abie to decipher."

OAVtD MASSON, Four Great English Novelists Were His Pupils In Literature. The man who taught English litera tnre to four great English writers, Rob ert Louis Stevenson. J M. Barrie, S. R. Crockett and Dr. John Watson (Ian Maciarem, has just died in Scotland. His name was David Masson. and a writer in the Milwaukee Sentinel gives a short history of Professor Masson'si iife and comments upon the four fa mous pupils.

A whimsical "thumb cab sketch" ot his oid pedagogue by Barrie is worth quoting, tt comes in a series of recoi iections of the novelist's coiiege days, the "Edinburgh Eleven," and is as fob lows: "Masson always comes to my memory Hrst, knocking naiis Into his desk or trying to tear the gas bracket from tts socket. He said that the Danes scattered over Engiand, taking such a hold as a nail takes when it is driven into wood. For the moment he saw his desk turned into Engiand; he whiried an invisible hammer in the air, and down it came on the desk with a crash. No one who has sat under Mas son can forget how the Danes naiied themselves upon England. It was when his mind groped for an image that he clutched the bracket. He seem ed to tear his good things out of it. Silence overcame the ciaBs; some were fascinated by the man. Others trem bled for the bracket. It shook, groan ed and yielded. Masson said another of the things that made his iectures literature. The crisis had passed, and everybody breathed again." It was in 1895 that this rugged, pic turesque, literary veteran, so iong a familiar figure in Edinburgh streets, resigned his chair to live out his days in retirement. He had been caiied to the university thirty years before to succeed the famous ballad scholar. Professor Aytoun, and twelve years be fore that he had taken the vacant place of the poet Ciough as professor of Engiish at University coiiege, Don don. At nineteen he was editor of a religious magazine in Aberdeen, his birthplace, and at twenty-five, when he went down to London, he was one of the best known magazine writers in Scotland. Before he became a pro fessor he was the first editor of Mac millan's Magazine, which, curiously enough, has issued its iast number una has died* with its first great editor. It was in these days that Gariyle, one of his intimate friends, warned him not to fritter away his talents on little things, but to concentrate them on something big. The resuit of this was his masteriy "Life and Times of Miiton," in six voiumes, the great work of his iife, which occupied aii the leisure of twenty-one years. More briliiant is the smaiier "Life of Chat terton" and the four^en volume edi tion of De Quincey's works, the out come of a iong and intimate friendship with the famous opium eater, whose life he contributed to the English men of letters series. There are many peo jpie in Great Britain today who feei that in "Davie, a reai, kindiy Scot," Edinburgh has lost her most distin guished citizen. Starfish Ha* Habits. Professor H. S. Jennings of Johns Hopkins university, who has been con nected with the University of Caii fornia in a number of experiments of severai months' duration at the uni versity's marine bioiogicai iaboratory at l.a Joiia. has discovered that no ant mai known is so tow as the starfish. He has demonstrated that the animat is at the very bottom of animat species. The starfish is shown to have a com piicated iife and many extraordinary ways of heiping itseif. On its hack it hears about 25,000 smai) jaws, or hands, arranged in rings and bands. These attack tierceiy any creature that mo iests tile starfish. They seize and hoid crabs and other creatures tiii they die. By their aid (he starfish captures many animals for food. Even quick, active tish of considerabtc size are sur prised by these jaws, seized, heid and eaten. No animai so iow as the star fish has itefore been known to form habits—to [earn to do things in a cer tain definite way. To test whether the starfish can do this a number of speci mens were trained for a long time to right themselves in certain definite ways. By this method it was found that the starfish very readiiy acquiree what may he caiied temporary habits. —San Francisco Chronicie. Grecian Bread Baking Modernized.

After catt ing four witnesses the state rested. One of Mr. Garvan's witnesses was James Ciinch Smith, brother-in-taw of Stanford White, whose testimony that Thaw was watching for Mr. White and acted rationaiiy just prior to the tragedy was unshaken by Mr. Ltttie ton in a severe cross examination.

"Each of us has his own individual part to play, though." continued Mr. Littleton, "and we can only do our best. "The power which you hold Is great er than all the other agencies at work in this case. That Is the power to say whether my client shall live or shall die. "It is unnecessary for me toleii yon that with such power it Is desirable that you should exercise the greatest care at every step. "I will not disguise the fact that the part that wo shall play shall be that of wholesome partisanship In the In terest of our client. I feel that even as we are burdened by partisanship which we confess that we can look into this case with the supremo desire to see that justice he done between this client and the people of this state." Tells of Family Insanity. Practically all of the testimony was entirely new to the case and had to do with acts down to the day of the trag edy itself. Then came the declaration of ten of the men who sat on the coro ner's jury during the impdry Into Stan ford White's death, ali of whom de ciared that the defendant the day foi iowing the shooting acted irrationaiiy.

The Indians on our Western Plains to-day can produce roots and herbs for every ailment, and cure diseases that bathe the most skilled physicians who have spent years in the study of drugs. From the roots and herbs of the held Lydia E. Pinkham more than thirty years ago gave to the women of the world a remedy for their pe culiar ills, more potent and efdca cious than any combination of drugs. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is now recognized as the standard remedy for woman's ills. Mrs. Bertha Muif, of 515 N.C. St., Louisiana, Mo., writes: Complete restoration to health means so much to me that for the sake of other suffering women I am willing to make my troubles public. "For twelve years I had been suffer ing with the worst forms of female ills. During that time I had eleven different physicians without help. No tongue can tell what I suffered, and at times I could hardly walk. About two years ago 1 wrote Mrs. Pinkham for advice. 1 followed it, and can truly say that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound and Mrs. Pinkham's advice re stored health and strength. It is worth mountains of gold to suffering women." What Lydia. E.

Stephen Baker of the Man hattan company and Andrew Milis of the Dry Dock Savings institution, aii of New York city, recommends iirst that tire state superintendent of banks ire given veto power upon the estab iishtnent of a bank or trust company or a branch of any existing hank or trust company or the purchase of the controi of one hanking institution by a nother. "it shouid be within his province to prevent the organisation of such insti tutions by improper men or their estab lishment in iocaiities where business conditions do not reasonabty assure their success." To Restrict Branch Banks. The <mmmittee beiteves that banks in Xew Yolk city "shouid not hereafter ire permitted to have branches uniess they possess a capita) of $500,000. and we think that both banks and trust companies shouid be required to fur nish an additionai $100,000 capita) for each branch opened." The committee disciaims any opposi tion to the organization of smart hanks —betieves they are necessary and ben eticiat—"it is only the organization of hanks by peopie without banking ca pacity or without a proper motive for seeking such organization." The report, as a wboie, is practicaily unanimous. Aii the recommendations are concurred in by Messrs. Hepburn, Baker and Miiis. Mr. Frisscit wouid increase the requirement for trust com pany reserves stiii more than recom mended by the majority, and Messrs. Haistutt and Sheldon wouid have a *''iiIe of reg- hav requirement governed 1Mace of (etbsits. In genera) the committee wouid in crease aud make more direct and ihti mate the supervisory power and con troi of the superintendent over aii mon eyed [nstitutions, inciuding banks of discount and deposit, trust companies, savings banks, safe deposit companies, mortgage ioan or investment compa nies and budding ioan associations, so that be couid directiy "direct the dis continuance of unsafe practices." To Guard Loans. Ia the matter at tanas and invest ments the committee detaits at length some of the methods tnore comtnonly resorted to for evading the restrictions of the law, recommends that it be made compulsory that "all ioaus, dis counts and purchases of commercial paper shail be read to the directors or submitted in written form, and laten tiouai concealment of the making of such loans, discounts or purchases should be made a misdemeanor;" wouid penalise the Interchange of de posits by which directors aad otHcers or others loan Indirectly to themseives or "are enabled to obtain control of a chain of banks," and of this practice says: "Of course no reputable bank would be a party to such a transaction, and the penai code shouid prevent such a practice on the part of any. And iu this connection, we think, the law lim iting ioans is too liberal, and we rec ommend that the amount which any institution may loan upon collateral to any one interest be reduced from 40 per cent to 25 per cent." Trust Companies' Reserves. Concerning trust companies' reserves the commission finds "that a reserve of 25 per cent should be maintained by the trust companies in the city of ,\ew York proper (borough of Manhat tan), of which 15 per cent should be cash on hand and 10 per cent cash in some bank or trust company approved by the superintendent of banks." The committee recommends also that in "the reserve cities" of Brooklyn and Albany state banks and trust compa nies should keep the same reserve (25 per cent) required of national banks and In other piaces shouid keep 15 per cent. Lord Randotph at the Bank Door. Sir Edward Hamilton, speaking of the ehanceiiors of the exchequer under whom he has served, said that Lord Randoiph Churchiii "was often very nervous white at his treasury work— feit himseif, I think, a itttie out of his depth. I remember his standing in front of tha Bank of Engiand's door and saying to me. t'm too nervous to go in It took me quite a quarter of an hour to get Mm in. He was going to see the directors, and I think he was afraid of saying something which woutd reveai his ignorance."—Hondo Chronicie. THE POULTRY YARD. tt SHE Bureau of Animat Industry," says the Indiana Farmer, is nr* ,_ working atong some interesting tines in determining the excess vatue of guaranteed fresh eggs over the ordinary product. It is gathering some information showing how it is that im mense quantities of eggs produoed in the Low Countries of Europe fetch in the Engiish market six or seven cents more per dozen than ordinary eggs. It is be cause each egg is guaranteed, and with a guarantee that amounts to something. Farmers form co-operative associations where they bring their eggs to a shipping point, each egg stamped with the name oftheproducerandthedatjBwheniaid. In addition the eggs are tested, If one is found haoi the owner is fined H.50. An interesting report may be expected iater showing just how this work is carried on and how easiiy praeticabie it wiii be for American farmers to foliow the pian." The troubie is not to find the purchaser but to find the eggs. This subject is worthy of the farmer's ciose attention. For the moment you es tabiish a reputation for truth and in tegrity, so soon wiii you reap the benefit. It was something in the same way that a young physician who had been practicing in a targe farming district became known for his integrity and honesty of purpose. We now refer to Dr. R. V. Pierce, who finaiiy moved to Buffalo, estabiished his Invaiids' Hotei nd Murgicai Institute, and a iaboratory connection therewith. As he had K found great success in using a prescrip tion in his extensive practice which gave univarsai satisfaction in cases of stomach disorder, impure biood and a weakened condition, he put this aiterative extract up in shape to seii in the drag stores, and catted it Dr. Fierce's Gotden Med ical Discovery. In the same way he started his Dr. Pierce's Favorite Pre scription for weak women. For forty years Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription and "Goiden Medicai Dis have stood the test of pubttc approval. They are medicines made without a particle of alcohol or any nar cotics. Made from roots, barks and herbs, they are nature's own remedy, which thousands of people attest hava great merit. The "Favorite Presort^ tlon" is a medicine made especially for women, and so uniform have been Its cures that Dr. Pieroe offers S6OO.O0 re ward for women who cannot be cured of Leucorrhea, Female Weakness, Prolapsus or Falling of Womb. AH he asks Is a fair and reasonable trial of his means of cure. It rests with the farmer as a reasoning, thinking being, to profit by what science Is doing for him. Just as we feed land which then feeds us, people should study the science of their own bodies. We feed the stomach and the stomach feeds the blood. If the stomach Is not fn the proper condition to take from the food such mineral elements as make up good red blood, then we are not managing our selves as well as we manage our Helds. The above facts come from no less an authority than Dr. Pierce. In hie early practice he was a close student of the facte as given above. His "Golden Med ical Discovery puts the stomach Into a vigorous and healthful condition and thereby feeds the blood, making It rich and red and capable of throwing off dis ease. That Is why his "Golden Medical Discovery" gained such a wide reputa tion nearly forty years ago and has stood the test of public approval ever since. "I feel thankful to you and the Lord for vour wonderful medicine," writes Mrs. Nannie Siankard, of Campbell, Mo. "I have used it for about ten years. About nine years ago I was given up to die with consumption. I commenced the use of your 'Golden Medical Discov ery and Favorite Prescription' and was cured by these medicines. I suffer from stomach trouble and take about two bot tles of Dr. Pierce's medicines a year, one of each kind, and these remedies give ms relief at once. I could not live without your medicines.

One is Here Described VERT home needs a. sewing room. ^4 permanent, if posaible, but at any rate throughout the stress of spring and fal! work. Even to the wo man who does her own sewing, it is a boon beyond culcuiation. Until it is tried, one has no idea what comfort ties in having things right at hand when needed, nor in knowing that they will stay there until all need is past. A spacious airy place is, of course, much the best. Failing that, a small room is better than none at all. A north light is preferable; it gives the longest daylight and the least strain on the eyes. With a small room, take out all the furniture not actually re ^Uired, and dll its place with sewing '"requisites. j, They are neither many nor costly. The first is a sheet of unbleached muslin, big enough to cover the whole floor. Sew the seams firmly, hem the ends, and fasten it down With drugget-pins in each corner. Set the sewing-machine in the handiest place where a good iight will fail over the operator's shoulder. See that the chair for it is the right height, also that it is light and fre& of obtrusive angles and knobs. A bent wood chair is on many accounts the best. If it is too high for comfort, have the legs sawed of. Always ciean a machine thoroughly before beginning a sewing campaign. The first thing is to deluge every work ing part with kerosene, and leave it several hours. Then wipe off the kero sene with a clean flannel, rubbing hard if gummed oil remains. Wet the treadle-join<tB again with kerosene. If the upper works still show dirt and grime, and particularly if they run hard, take them off .and boil them twen ty minutes with a handful of washing soda in the water. Rinse by pouring boiling water over, under, and through them; it is best done from the spout of a tea-kettle. After rinsing set in a hot place for half-an-hour. Next put the works in place, oil plentifully with the very best machine-oil, run at top speed a minute, then wipe off superfluous oil, tighten up nuts and screws, see that the feed is.unclogged, and that the presser-foot stands true; also that the needle is properly set, and the machine is ready for use. Fasten to the wall, back of the ma chine or beside it, a set of hanging pockets, at least a dozen in number. Mark each plainly with the sort of thread it is meant to hold, as "Black Silk, No. A," or "White Cotton, No. 60." At bottom of the pockets hang a book of flannel leaves numbered from one to ten, and holding needles of sizes to match their numbers. Another set of marked pockets, for bindings, stay casing. buttons, hooks and eyes, cray ons, chalk, basting cotton, and so on, should be put on the wall where it can be reached from the low sewing chair provided for hand-work. If the low chair has rockers, all the better; only they must not be aggressive. Each set of pockets can be backed with a square of denim. Sew small brass rings to the corners to slip over screw-hooks in the walls. Thus they can be put up without defacement. In a permanent sewing room it is helpful to tack up on the wall the plates after which the garments of the moment are to be fashioned. Two more bent-wood chairs, a fold ing cutting-table, a low dresser with big mirror and broad shallow draw ers, should also find place in the sew ing room. Set apart one drawer for lAiings anci findings of all sorts, as crinoline, whalebone, wadding, and canvas. Keep another drawer for un !cuT*sfufFs, and a third for unfinished work. A bigger table with drawers and folding-leaves, for cutting big things like, skirts, is a very present help, space permitting. In the table drpwera keep shears, small scissors, a whet-stone, several tape measures, and at least half-a-dozen thimbles. Thimbles seem endowed-with a certain malign intelligence, and lose them se^es past finding if their loss stops w< 'k. If it is, through plentiful sub stl utes. a matter of. no consequence, th< y discover themselves upon the least pr< vocation. Set this big table against th< wall if possible, and just above it swng a broad flat pocket sacred to Pi3 Lems. Fold each pattern fiat, and keep it in a separate big envelope plainly marked with sort and size. Always press a pattern smooth with a warm, not a hot, iron, before using it. If a hot iron must be used, let the pat tern lie a while, so it will not cling and curl troublesomely to the hands. There should be two smoothing-irons one heavy, one light, with either wood en or asbestos-covered handles. An oil stove is the best thing to heat them with. Properly managed, it makes neither smell nor soot. It has the great advantage over gas that it can be set wherever it is most convenient. A wooden box a foot or so square will hold both the stove and the irons. By tacking sheet-tin over the top, which must be hinged on, it makes a good resting-place for the lighted stove. Irons presuppose a press-board, which is an ironing-board in minia ture, with rounded ends and rounded edges over which to shape the most obviously crooked seams. Cover the press-board with gray flannel, to be [removed and washed' once a year. In -7*' addition, have a white cover, cotfbn or itnen, to go over the flannel when dainty colors must be pressed. A lap-board. with a yard-measure marked on the top, is a great conveni ence. Set it up bq.ck of the low sew ing- chair, but in easy reach. From one arm of thiB chair hang a small, compact pin-cushion cram-ful of sharp, clean pins and big-eyed basting-need les. From the other suspend a small closed box with a s!i' cut in the lid, and the end of a reel of basting-cotton polled up through the slit. Basting cotton has even more than the thim ble's knack of losing itself. It is a wary seamstress, Indeed, who gets around both. Small things, as yokes, straps, gus sets, and so on, have the same amiable propensity. The white sheet on the door effectually balks it. Further, it helps the eyes by diffusing and pro longing a soft equal light. Incident ally. it saves the carpet or the door from lint, and makes the occasional brushing up very much easier. There are just two .more absolute sewing-room requirements—a covered wicker-basket for scraps, bundles, and general odds and ends, and a light but Commodious waste-basket. A folding clothes-horse, to hold work in hand, is desirable. So Is a big separate mirror that may be turned at any angle, and a form for fitting and draping. Even where the house-mother does the sewing, it is a great waste to skimp in findings or thread; indeed, in any small requisite. With a hired seam stress, such waste is not only cruel, but wicked. She must be paid for her time, and cften loses more, piercing and con triving how to make five cents' worth answer for ten, than would half finish a garment. This applies With double force to making over old garments. If It needs must be done, have everything bnpicked, sponged, pressed, even dyed, before the dressmaker comes. It is well, further, to make up one's mind a.s one unmakes a frock. Waiting Cor the seamstress to make up both to gether is generally costly and seldom satisfactory. THE HAPPY HOME COMPANMN N air of gaiety is one if not the A most attractive quality that a house companion can display. A languid, melancholy mood creates a de pressing atmosphere. If you are sub ject to low spirits, make haste to re alize that they must be controlled or thrown off entirely. Very much more frequently than you know they are just! a lazy indulgence, and worse still, the^r are always decidedly Injurious to the reputation you are trying to buijdi up as an in&uentlal and lovable person. Simply beoause you are not within eye-shot of strangers, because some thing has happened to annoy or dis tress you, and only the family is to be assembled at dinner, don't assume that you have the right to bring down to the table a long and woeful counten ance on which it would seem that a smile would never again appear. Your aim, we will take just now for granted, is to impress the household agreeably. *Bo do this establish with yourself a rule against entering the dining roopi with Anything less than a light step and an expression of open good humor. Come into breakfast not only with a shining morning face hut a shining morning manner, and give your greetings all around with a look and in a tone that flatteringly imply that you are very pleased to see your relatives again and that you are r^ady to take a most prompt and affectionate interest in them. Yours, you may complain, is a try ing. busy, easily irritated and very in formal family; that the members have a way of dropping into breakfast with just nods; some of the children come down with the aspect of having got out of bed very much on the wrong side, and that, therefore, the field for instituting reforms is not promising. As a matter of fact it is an ideal Held where you can create a favorable impression and break the sullen ten sion of tempers by" your amiab:e "good morntng" and by gently Insisting on trying to be the pleasantest possible company over the coffee and roils. TOOTHSOME SWEETS Peanut Brittle! One cup of dark molasses, one cup of dark brown sugar, one tablespoon of vinegar, one table spoon of butter, boll together until the mixture Is crisp when dropped Into cold water. Add to this a scant tea spoonful of baking soda and mix thor oughly. Have ready two cups of shelled and freshly roasted peanuts, split them in halves, cover the bottom of shallow pans and over them pour the candy. Set In a very cold place where it will harden in a few minutes. Old Fashioned Moiasses Candy! One cup of brown sugar, two cups of New Orleans molasses, one tablespoon of butter, one tablespoon of vinegar. This mixture^ should be boiled without 8tirring*any more than necessary, and should be cooked until it is brittle when dropped into cold water. Then pour into greased tins and let stand until it can be handled comfortably. Now begins the pulling process. Cover the hands with a good coating of dour, or butter M preferred, And pull the candy until it is too stiff to be worked any longer; then place on a board tEnd cut or break into small pieces. Panocha* Two cups of dark brown sugar, scant cup of milk, tablespoon of butter. Boil this until you can see the bottom of the pan when stirring the mixture.'add a liberal teaspoon of va nilla, and take off and beat until al most cool. Then add as many chop ped nut meats as possRBe. Pour into buttered pans and mark off in squares when slightly oooted. The success Of this candy lies in the fact of taking it off the fire at the crucial moment. If cooked too long, it will all granulate; If not suSac*e<*t& long, it will be tough. Batter Sco+eht This is a very simple and wholesome candy. Take one cup of sugar, one cup of molasses and one half cup of butter. Boll steadily for about twenty minutes, take off and pour very thin into buttered pane. A ROLL-UP WMpOW SCREEN L B. E.

The pink-and-whiteness of babyhood, peculiar to mere good health, often dis arms criticism. If the mother notices that Baby's nose is a bit too hat or too broad, or the fingers a trihe ill-shaped, or the scalp shows a tendency to scales or dandruff, she is veiy apt to cover the defeats with rap turous kisses and murmur that Baby will outgrow these defects. This Is not fair to Baby, particulars if it be a girl. In later years she will turn upon her mother and inquire pa thetically, "Why didn't you have my nose straightened when I was a baby?" The health of a baby should demand first attention from the mother, and directly this is assured, she owes it to her offspring to enhance every physical charm and reduce, as far as possible, every physical defect. There are many minor operations which are not dangerous to the child, nor very ex pensive, even when a first-class sur geon is employed, and this step, taken when the features are soft and pliable, before the full growth is attained, wili save the child much mental suffering in later years. There are also many malformations of a minor character which the mother can reduce simply by home-made de vices and careful massage. Therefore, mother of a new-born and apparently healthy babe, look it over carefully, with a view to ensuring the child's fuii share of good looks in future years. For instance, your baby may have what is commonly known as a pug nose. Novelists soften the term by de scribing the nose as retrousse. But by either name it will be a source of mdch grief to its owner in later years. And yet it lies in your power to reduce that defect, right new, while the bones are soft and pliable. How often you sit with baby on your knee, fondling the j dimpled hands and smoothing the silky hair. Why not take the same time to reform the ill shapen tittle nose? It looks cute and saucy in the midst of baby dimples, but it will give the face a characterless took in iater years. With your thumb and forefinger, start at the bridge of the nose, and with a Hrm but not heavy pressure, stroke the feature down and out. picturing mep taiiy as you work the expct shape you would like the nose to become. That is, do not rub down and in toward the mouth, but always out as drawing the nose to a point. If the nose is well formed at the bridge, but Oat and broad at the nostrils, begin to massage it close to the face, just above the mouth, and draw the nose outward. If you do this for Hfteen minutes at a time or even less, whenever you are holding the baby, or sitting beside its crtb, say four times a day, you will gradually work a wonderful transfor mation in the objectionable little fea ture and without injury to the child. Do not under any circumstances use the little Instrument which looks something like a clothespin with a spring, and which is used by adults for reducing the size of the nostrils. This will make the baby acquire the habit of breathing through the mouth instead of the nose. Perhaps your baby has a well formed face, but projecting ears. They do not cause much comment now. but as time progresses the tendency to spring away from the head will increase rather than diminish. Be very careful in holding the baby or laying it down that the ears are laid back perfectly Hat, and that neither pillow or blanket is in a position to thrust the ears for ward. Whenever you put the baby to sleep, tie the ears back or down with a strip of soft fabric like liberty silk or chiffon. Make the bandage just wide enough to hold the ears in place and tie it under the chin as you would a bonnet. But never tie it tightly or have the band of such heavy material that the child will notice it. If the pressure is annoying, the child will be restless in its sleep. But with a band age of this sort properly made and applied, the healthy baby who Bleeps nearly half of every twenty-four hours will soon show the good effects of this simple treatment. Watch the baby's angers carefully. If they show a tendency to blunt, Rat or spreading ends, massage them re ligiously. Start at the base of the an gers, near the palm, and rub toward a joint, so that your own thumb and foreanger, after !eav!ng*the tip of the baby's anger, will touch. Round the Hnger nails In cutting them, too, and never, never cut them straight across, giving a blunted shape to the tiny lingers. The next article of this series will discuss the air which the baby breathes, and how fresh air and foul affect Baby's good looks. The third article will consider the care of Baby's hair, eyelashes and eyebrows, and the entire series will be of practical value to the mother who knows that preven tion in babyhood Is worth ten times the remedies needed In girlhood.
