Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is designed for the one purpose of curing all diseases, or dis- orders of the feminine system, except cant cer. It stops debilitating drains, soothe4 inflammation, promotes regularity of the • monthly function and puts the whole fe- ,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 "in October 1889 I gave birth to a baby and thetroatment I received at the hands of the mid- wife left'me with prolapsus. , I had no health to speak of for three years.

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 air or tone, deportment or attire, and yet partook of all these as pot-pourri of rose. 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 crude and colorless.

Such a whirl 1 Yet, as I say to Jack when he grumbles the!, • we never have a quiet home evening—it is the only life worth living, as you'll own when you've had a taste of it 1 (You dear thing 1 It rests my tired- eyes just to look at you 1) Here's Jack's card for Mr. Cor- nell. I'm just dying to see him and if he is good euough for you." "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 sesame to the Gotham, innermost—money 1'; Only the repeatedly millionaired can pass ' the outer courts." ," There it is !

There was, then, muse for the wife a pleaeureable flutter of spirits andthe doub - int satisfaction expressed, against klit8 inten- • tion, in the husband's viaage at the close prospect of a state banquet given in honor of their undistinguished selves, at 'which ; anonymous edibles would be washed 'down I with foreign wines, and' spicy entrees be • punctuated by spioy bora d' oeuvre's.' Ar- thur's predominant quality was isound 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 take us up now," he demurred. Susie's ready flush testified to the hurt be had dealt her pride or affection's.' She thought to the latter. "If yin' would only not let your reju. • dice master your reason 1" she sighed. "All rNea." New York women bete. and dread thefor- ie . "There is the Bridge 1" put in, the Brooklyn -born literalist.

You see • you don't know what a fine, genuine crea- 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 • ii t some 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 • mustn't mind my growls. When we have • had sup—dinner, I would say 1—you'll, find 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. (To be continued.)

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 , APRIL 6, 1900 AN EASY -PI-OPOSITION Beauty and style withont comfort is easily obtainable, comfort with- out appearance is equally simple.

Africa Will evidently be, the settlement or 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.
