Dr. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription is designed for the
one purpose of curing all diseases, or dis-

,male organism into a state ef strong, vig-
orous health.
Taken during the period of gestation it
robs childbirth of its pain and danger.
Over 250, 000 grateful women have written
of the wonderful help ef the "Favorite Pre.
scription." Among others Mrs. Cerdelia
Henson, of Coalton, Boyd Co„ y., writes

clined to suspect New Yorkere. She plum-
ed herself modestly upon her taste in house -
furnishing and upon her ability to make
cheap things look as if they had cost a good
deal. She had withheld the fact of the
change of 'residence from Metropolitan ac-
quaintances until her house was in order
that might defy unfavorable criticism. It
was kind in Kitty to run in so unceremon-
iously and to be glad of the chance to renew
their early intimacy. In spite of Arthur
and the children, she had begun to lee some-
. what homesick in the great whirling world
about her.
"Like a chip in the •Atlantic ocean 1"
Thus she' had described her sensations to
her husband that very morning. "1 sup-
pose I shell get used to it after a while,
especially as Brooklyn and New York are,
to all intents and purposes one and the
same city."
She aiserted it stoutly, knowing all the
while that Moscow and New Orleans were
as nearly homogeneous.
Yes 1 Kitty was thoroughly welcome to
the stranger in an unknown territory. 51ra.
Hitt was not intellectual, and judged by
standards Arthur Cornell's wife had come
to revere sincerely, she was not especially
refined in speech and bearing. Or were
Susie's tastes too quiet and her ideas old-
fashioned, that her interlocutor's crisp say
ings sounded pert, and tho bright brown
eyes and fixed flush upon the cheek bones
were artificially aggressive ? Her :termer
chum bad alvvaye been warm-hearted, if in-
conveniently outspoken. And she was a
New Yorker, and tashionable. Susie's
cherished ambition, unavowed even to Ar-
thur while it was expedient for them to live
simply, was to be fashionable, brilliant and
courted—a member in good 'and regular
standing in the society of which Mrs. Sher-
wood lectured, and Ellen Olney Kirk wrote,
and to which Jeekyns Knickerbocker was
au fait. A certain something that was not

breath, spices and perfumed oils -marked
Kittyi Hitt as an habitude of the oharmed
reserve. She was not, perhaps, one of the
four hundred selected from the upper ten
thousand by precesses as arbitrary, to the
human judgment, as those by which Gide.
on's three hundred were picked out from
the hosts of Israel. Susie was no simple-
ton, albeit ambitious. Mr. Hitt was a
stockbroker; hence manifestly in the line
of promotion, but there were degrees of
elevation upon even Olympus. Her imagin-
ation durat not lift eyes to the cloud -
wreathed summit where chief gods held
revel, guarded from vulgar intrusion by
Gabriel Macallister. The climate and man-
ner of life a few leagues lower down would,
as she felt, suit her better than the rarified
atmosphere of the extremest heights. She
had always meant to climb, and successful-
ly, when time and opportunity should serve.
From the moment the passage of the river
was determined upon as a business neces-
sity, she felt intuitively that both of these
were near,
" We think them cozy," she assented
quietly to the visitor's praise of her rooms.
"Cozy 1 they are lovely 1"
' While she talked she raised her eye-
glasses to make note of some fine etchings
upon the wails and a choice water -color
upon an easel, and took, in, in passing, the
circumstances that the rugs laid upon the
polished floor were. of prime' quality, al.
though neither large nor numerous.
"Ido hope you don't intend to shut
yourself up in your pretty cage as so many
pattern wives and. mothers—particularly
Brooklyn women" (roguishly) ,
That's the reason American society hi so

that the opera. Such a whirl 1 Yet, as I
say to Jack when he grumbles the!, • we

nell. I'm just dying to see him and if he

"A great deal too good 1" ejeoulated
Susie earnestly, through this aeoidental gap
in the monologue. The dearest, most
generous fellow."
"Cela ere sans dire—with the Brooklyn
model 1 I'm so happy that you are •one of
us, and no longer a pattern article. Good -
by!"
"There ! I let her go without showing
her the children," reflected Mrs.. Cornell,
when she got back her breath. " But we
had so much to talk of it is no wonder we
forgot them. There are no friends like the
old friends. How unjust we are some-
times 1 I came near not sending her my
card becatum she had never `been over to
Brooklyn to see me all the time I was there.
And Arthur advised me against doing it.
He would have it that it was no farther
from New York to Brooklyn than from
Brooklyn to New York. He predieted.too,
that she Would newer come to see me here.
Says there's no other memory so short as
;that of a woman who has titian fast upon
the social ladder. This ought to be a les-
son in Christian charity to us both. Kit-
ty's heart is always in the right place."
With a becoming mantling of rose -pink
in her cheeks, elle went singing about her
" drawing " rooms, altering the angle of
.mire and sofas, and the arrangement of
bric-a-brac, already viewing her appoint-
ments through Kitty's eye -glasses. • Her
thoughts were running upon the projected
dinner party. She was the proud owner of
a black velvets gown with a trained Skirt
and a V-shaped front, and of dainty' laces
wherewith to fill the triangle. She hed_ a
diamond pin and earaings—wedding gifts
from the wealthy aunt for whom_ she was
,named. The same generous relative had
hostel/red upon her, at different holiday
seasons, the rugs and pictures that adorned
her house. • Aunt Susan might always be
depended upon to do the handsome thing,
and she was fond of this niece 'and her
" steady" husband. The home of Susiehi
girlhood had been more plainly furnished,
as Kitty had known and must recollect. It
was natural that the elegant grace character-
ing Mrs. Cornell's abode should mislead the
shrewd observer in the estimate of the
cashier's income. Without surmising what
had suggested the remark, or that it was a
" feeler," Mrs. Cornell smiled, yet a little
uneasily, in recalling it,
"Kitty is so used to hearing of large
sums that her ideas are vague on the subject
of salaries," meditated the better informed
• wife. "She doesn't dream how handsome-
ly people can live. on six thousand dollars,
or that we got along on one-half that
much in Brooklyn and laid aside something
yearly. It is none of my business to set her
right. Arthur doesn't care to have his
money affairs disouseed."
It did not occur to her as a possibility
that from the pardonable disingenuousness
any serious troable could over arise, yet she
knew what Arthur would say. She heard,
in imagination, his warning:
"Never sailunder intim colors, Susie 1"
• Therefore, in her animated description of
call and conversation, she omitted all men-
tion of Kitty's tentative allusion to their
income. Not knowing his wife's old com-
rade, be might think her prying and imper-
tinent in touching. upon such a subject at
all. Poor, dear kitty 1 there were diaad-
vantages in being so impetuously frank. A
clear -beaded cool reasoner like Arthur, for
instance, was almost sure to misread her.
As our heroine had told Kitty, her 'mar-
ried life had been quiet. Her vivacious
friend would have called it "stupid." The
circle of congenial friends had been circum-
eeribed and most of them were people of
moderate means and desires. Brooklyn might
be called a segregation of neighborhoods,
each district having manners customs and
social code peculiar to the village that was
its germ. As one settlement ran into an-
other, a city grew that claims the respect of
the mightier sister across the river. • The
Cornelis had lived in a pleasant house in a
pleasant street, and Susie hied spoken truly
in saying that they lived Well. With no
pretence at entertaining, they were cordi-
ally hospitable, " having" friends to supper
or to pass the evening, whenever fair occa-
sion offered. For the children's sake the
mother took her principal meal with them
at one o'clock, but the hearty tea prepared
for the father, who had lunched frugally in
town, was in variably appetizing, being well
cooked and daintily served. He bad the
privilege not always accorded to richer men
who. sit down daily to late "course din-
ners,"—that of bringing a crony home with
him whenever he pleased. It was like
Arthur Cornell to chose as c hence guests
men who had not such homes as his—bank
clerks from the country, Bohemian artists
of good character and light purses and the
like. Spelt were the honored recipients of
She hostess' smile and warm handshake.
She had won the admiring reverence of
more than one hoMelese bachelor by her
skill in delicate and savory cookery and the
gracious friendliness of her welcome, and
these, oftener than any other class, cone
posed the delighted audience of the mwiic
Arthur milled for every evening. %
Once or twice a month husband and wife
went to the theatre or a concert, and twice,
or at the most, three timee a year, to the
opera. They were pretty sure to have com-
plimentary tickets to the water -color exhi-
bition and other displays of painting in
Brooklyn or New York. Of reiCeptions,
they knew comparatively little except such
as followed weddings among their &equal's-
tanoes. Neither had ever attended a regu-
lar dinner party gotten up by e. profession-
al caterer, and the ladies luncheon of eight,
ten, or a dozen courses was unknown by the
seeing of the eyes and the tasting of the
palate to the bright woman whose social
succesaes in a new arena were foretold by
the sanguine admirer who, craved the pleas-
ure of bringing her out. There are still in
feet growing American cities tens of thous-
ands of such people who live honestly, com-
fortably and beneficently, and whose homes
" But, my dear Kitty, I lack the open

Isense, and as his spouse had anticipated, his
first emotion after hearing her tale was
wonder at the sudden and violent in rease
of friendship consequent upon their o ange
of residence, in one who had apparently for-
gotten the unimportant fact of her faivorite
school -fellow's existence for more than five
years.
"1 can't imagine why she should mere to

Susie's ready flush testified to the hurt be

thought to the latter.
"If yin' would only not let your reju.

ture Kitty is. But we won't dispute over
her or her dinner party. I can write to her
and sey that we regret our inability to ac-
cept the invitation."
Arthur closed his teeth upon another
struggling sentence. Although even, less of
a society man than she was of a society wo-
man, he had a definite impression that invi-
tationa to dinner were usually sent o
days -in advance of the ," occasion.' Less

distinct, because intuitive, was the idea that
gay young women, already laden with ;mita
obligations, did not press attentions upon
everyday folk from Brooklyn, E. D., unless
they hoped to gain something by it, or were
addicted , to patronage. rhe fermer
hypothesis being, as• he conceived, unten-
able, it followed that Mre. Hitt, a good-
natured rattle, must have . said more than
she meant of her intention e toward the
strangers, or that she had a native foncluess
for playing the lady patroness.
Loving and admiring his wife from the
full depths of a quiet heart, he held all this
back. Susie was vivacious, ready.of wit
and speech, and he was not. She dearly en-
joyed excitement and new acqeaintaness.
Give him dressing jacket, slippers, and
interesting book, or his wifes music and his
own fireside, and lee would not have ex-
changed places wieh Ward .Macallistere at
his complacent best. Susie would shine
anywhere; she was born to it 1 He was
not even a first-class reflector of her rays.
Yet this noblest of women had stood by him
with cheerful gallantry in their less pros-
perous days. He had told her over and
over that she had hidden her light under a
bushel in becoming the mistress of such a
home as he had to give her, but she had
loyally denied this and borne her part
bravely in the struggle to lay the non -elastic
ends of their common income. To her capi-
tal management he owed much of their
present comfort. .
Arthur Cornell reasoned slowly, but al-
ways ha a straight line.
"1 am a selfish, brutal fellow, darling,"
be said at this point of his cogitations. "1
am afraid I ani a little tired to -night. We
have had a busy day at the Bank. You

me more than willing to listen and sym-
pathize."
Her satisfactory answer was to come over
and kiss him silently, taking his head be-
tween her hands it" ncl laying her cheek upon
it. The hair was getting thin on the top,
and the gaslight brought into gleaming con-
spicuousness a few gray hairs. He was
older than she by nine years. It would not
be surprising if, for a long time yet, he con-
tinued to say "supper" instead of "din-
ner." She was certain he would never learn
to talk of the "drawing -room." But he was
her very own, and dearly beloved, and the
kindest, noblest fellow in the woild. What-
ever he might do or say, she could never be
angry with or ashamed of him.

HEALTH IN APRIL
Use The World's Greatest 'Spring
Medicine,
PAINE'S CELERY COMPOUND
It is The One Remedy Gladly and
Universally Recommended by
• the Ablest Doctors,
• It is well known that almost every condi-
tion of winter life has been detrimental to
She health of thousands of men and women.
The blood has become elogged and im-
pure; the skin is unhealthy and muddy,
showing eruptionand pimples; the eyes
are dull and sunken; the nerves are un-
steady; there is less in weight, and stom-
ach troubles, rheumatism and neuralgia
make life a misery by day and night. .
Paine's Celery Compeund is the only
spring medicine that the best physicians are
now recommending, because no other rem-
edy can so quickly bring new and vigorous
health to the ailing, half-dead and broken-
down.
Paine's Celery Compound cures disease by
first purifying the blood and enriching and
Strengthening the nerves. It makes the
weak strong; it regulates and invigorates
the entire nervous system from the brain to
the minutest nerve filament.
Seeing that the experience of tette of
thousands has proven that Paine's Celery
Compound is the greatest of all spring medi-
cines—the one remedy that the world could
not lose to -day at any price—it is? foolish
and suicidal to defer its use. One or two
bottles used at this season will surely ban-
ish all symptoms of disease and fit you for
the work and duties of spring and summer.
When you are buying Paine's Celery
Compound see that you get the genuine
with the name " Paine's " and the "'Stalk
of Celery" on the label ; other ` compounds
are frauds and deceptions.
• A Start in the Law.
Illustrating what a trifling incident can
influence a man's whole career, it is told of
Judge William Lindsay, who is now United
States Senator from Kentucky, that when
a young man still in his teens he was plow-
ing in his father's field, which was near it
cross-roads store where a dozen or more men
usually congregated.
Young Lindsay and the mule he was
working to the plow did not "gee" well,
and finally in trying to turn the mule around
at the far side of the field it worse misunder-
standing than usual ecourred. The mule
turned square around and started back over
the plow right at Lindsay, who grabbed a
piece of fence rail and hit his big -eared ser-
vant a terrific jolt above the eye. The mule
fell dead.
Lindsay looked at the dead mule and then
at the crowd across the field at the store
He saw the men had witnessed his killing of
She mule, and he started at full run to the
store. Whenhe reached there, almost out
of breath, he exclaimed: "Gentlemen, I
killed the mule, but I did in self-defense."
"By jingo, Bill, you ought to be a law-
yer," said one of the men, "for anybody
who ean think of a plea of that sort en the
spur of the moment would make a pod
one."
That suggestion stuck in young Lindsay's

Some years ago she spent a delightful win-

It seems that there was some athletic ri-

boys' on a neighboring plantation and at
last they determined to settle the title of
superiority for all time by resort to a foot

One result of the present war in South.

some nice questions of international law on
what shall be coneidered contraband of war.
At least one of these has just been definitely
settled, and it seems to have hinged entirely
on the point of destination, which has Al-
ways been considered to form an element in
settling the question. The other day Brit-
ain seized an American vessel laden with
fiour zn Delagoe-Bay, and after investigetion
released it because the cargo was consigned
to merchants in Lorenzo Marques. NOW
Britainhas just seized a German vessel, also
laden with flour, and after examination has
detained it because it was consigned to the
Transvaal Government, and was indisput-
ably destined for use of tne enemy 'nth.
field. This, it is maintained by Britain and
others, puts it clearly in the recognized
statue of conditional contraband. Probably
the same decision would be given in a cu
where it could be shown that the tonsigneree
formed a go between or mediatory step to
She Transvaal Government.
