There is far .too much new - fashioned prudes among mothers. Ev- ery�young woman shotld e ex - pia' her the supe' me neces- sity of keeping herself pure and wholesome and free from weak- ness and disease �" 1 in a womanly way. Her general health, her future happiness, her good looks, her physical strength her capability as a wife and mother, and the health and strength of genefations to come ' are dependent upon this. Nothing in the world will destroy the good looks, wholesomeness, the amiability, and the usefulness of a woman quicker th n disorders of the delicate and important ans that bear the burdens of maternity. . Pierce's Favorite Prescription is the best of all medicines for women who are ailing in this way. It makes a woman strong and healthy where a woman most needs health and strength. It relieves pain, soothes inflammation, heals ulcera- tion and gives rest and tone to the tortured nerves. It cures all the ills and pains too commonly considered an uncomfortable in- heritance of womankind. Itith has unbroken for over thirty years record of success. More of it has been sold than of all the other medicines for women combined. It is the discovery of Dr. R. V. Pierce, for thirty years chief consulting physician to the Invalids' Hotel and Sur- gical Institute, at Buffalo, N. Y. He will -cheerfully answer, without charge, all let- ters from ailing women. , " Three years ago," writes Mrs. i. N. Messier, of 1794 Vanderbilt Avenue, New York,N. Y., "the best physicians In this city said tere was no -cure for me—unless I would go to a hospital and have an operation performed. I could not walk across the room; I took Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription":anti atter three 'bottles I could work, walk and ride." - ' Torpid liver and constipation are surely and speedily cured by Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. They never gripe. They regulate, tone up and invigorate the liver stomach and bowels. No substitute urged by mer - sonars, dealers is as GLEANINGS. An ordinary brick will absorb 16 ounces of water.

A year ago we walked the woods. A year ago today. The lanes were white with blackthorn bloom, The hedges sweet with may. We trod the happy woodland ways, Where sunset lights between The slender hazel stems streamed clear And turned to gold the green. Thrushes sang through the cool green aYeh Where clouds of windflowers grew. That beauty all was lost to me For lack of love to you. And you, too, missed the peace which might Have been, yet might not be, From too much doubt and fear of fate And too much love of mo. This year, 0 love, no thing is changed! As bright a sunset glows. Again we walk the wild wet woods, Again the bluebell blows. But still our drifted spirits fail Spring's happiness to touch, For now you do not care for me, And I love you too much! —D. Nesbit in Good Words. THE MEPHISTO CAP. "Oh, yes; and I forgot to tell you. You know, your old flame is to be married in May?" "Is she? Which?" "You had a good many, hadn't you? Well, guess." "Let me see. Madeline Kearney. Oh, you tell me, sister. I'm too tired to guess. That railroad has shaken me all topieces in the last hundred miles." "Well, then, if you're too tired to exert your mind, Edna Barson." "Oh, and she marries"— "Bob Bristol, of all men. Old enough to be hersf %ther,visn't he?" Cortell had' beet away five years in the west and hh i' just' made a long journey in order to spend two or three weeks at home with his mother and sister. He had come back; it seemed to him, much more than five years older than he was when he loft. There was upon him now the steadying pressure of large responsibilities, for he was very near to being the head of a large business enterprise. All that he saw— even the faces of his mother and sister— reminded him of what he had been when his eyes last fell upon those scenes and those faces, and he found himself as he stretched Itt full length on the lounge wondering how he could ever have been so frivolous and so joyously careless of consequences in everything as he had been in the days that now seemed to him to be- long to the dim distance of history. "So women can forget sometimes, you see," his sister was continuing her talk. Bob's thoughts were wandering back to' the past. Presently he exclaimed some- what suddenly: "By jingo, Clare, I be- lieve I have something. Let me see. When do you say Edna is to be married? May?" "Middle of May, I believe." "And this is the middle of April. By jingo! I wonder whether I ought to take it to her or send it?" "That's your second 'by jingo' in one minute. Send what? Wedding present?" "Eh? Yes, of course, I must send a wedding present. I knew Bristol quite well. He's an older man than I arm, isn't he?" That evening Calvin Cortell unpacked a big leather trunk in the privacy of his own room. He took out a tin box that looked as if it had been designed originally to hold cash. He unlocked that box and took out package after package of carefully tied up papers—receipts, canceled- notes, memoranda of many kinds. Under all these was a leather cased daguerrotype of his mother. Last of all, under the case, in some tissue paper, were a pair of very much faded kid gloves. Cortell took out the tissue paper pack- age, replaced the daguerrotype, the various bundles of memoranda, canceled receipts and other business documents, locked the tib bot and sat down to think. Ho laid the faded gloves on the little writing table before him, drew up a chair, rested hit'elbows on the table and sup- ported his head on his two hands. As the faint odor of the disinterred gloves name to his nostrils a smile, half of amusement, half of tenderness, played over his faoe. "But the question is, how the deuce am I to do it?" he said aloud to himself after some minutes of this brooding. The smile on his face grew more and more tender. Presently he sighed, and then he spoke again to himself: "That has nothing to do with now, old man. That was long ago. You've got it to do." Edna Barson certainly had been a little disconcerted when the news eame to her that her sweetheart of five years before had suddenly made his appearance in the town just at the time when her engagement to Bristol had been made public. She was not vivid tyconscious of any feeling for CCalaiin Cortoll'that could have been con - knew only too well how recklessly tongues will wag in a small town, -where each man's—or woman's—business is the busi- ness of all, and, considering many things, Cortell's sudden appearance just then, after a continuous absence of five years, might very plausibly bo made to boar a significance that would disturb tho smooth current of • her engagement. There had been rumors that Mrs. and Miss Cortell would, some time or other, go west to make their home with Calvin, but no one had expected to see him back in his for - mor home. Edna sat before the fire two days after Calvin Corteil's arrival, and was medi- tating over these things when Cortell himself entered. She was looking for a visit not from him, but from Bob Bristol. Nevertheless sho found little or no diffi- culty in meeting him with conversational care. At first, that is. Her old friend or sweetheart lost but little time in coming to the particular business of his call, and it certainly startled her n Iittlp when he said, "I am very glad I found you alone." "Glad?" sire said. "Oh, yes. It is nioo to be able to have a little chat. Tell me about your life out there?" "I can toll you about that at some other time," said Cortell. "Just at present I have to discharge a duty. Oh, yes. It wouldn't be right. At least I wouldn't like it if I were In Bristol's place." "Like what?" said the girl. "This"—andhe — took a tissue paper er package from his pocket. Edna opened the package, wondering. When she saw the old gloves lying there with the marks of wear of many years ago upon them, but also marked with the folds of many other—later—years of care- ful keeping, a whole procession of mem- ories passed before her mind. She was si- lent for some moments. "What ought I to do with them?" she asked. "I don't know. Tell me." Not the least doubt of it the whole affair was excessively silly. It was thoroughly, in keeping with the rest that now tk,�ili goring woman en the eve of Marriage th !mother man—a marriaae into whl DR.

Still, silly as it was, it was so. Cortell on his part looked extremely uncomfortable. Ile may have been wish- ing that he had sunt the old gloves by mail or by messenger But then, again, he may not have been altogether sorry to see that appealing look and those swimming eyes. "I—I don't know," he stammered. "Perhaps I ought not to have brought them. But I don't see why not. I don't see how I could have kept them, could I?" "You might have burned them, mightn't you?" Edna said, with a rather mischievous smile. "So I might," Cortell answered quick- ly. "I give you my word, Mise Barson— I beg you to believe me—I never thought of that." The manifest sincerity with which this was said and the ingenuous blush that ao- companiod the explanation were irresisti- ble. Edna Barson burst into a hearty laugh, whfoh Cortell was not long in tak- ing up. But at that moment the street door was opened and then the door of the library, where these two stood laughing over en old pair of gloves, and the servant girl, in her direot and distinctive manner, pro- nounced, "Mr. Bristol," There was nothing really embarrassing in the situation. The embarrassment was only apparent. The event might have been different if all the persons oonoerned had looked at the case as it should have been looked at; but, while the girl, with charaoteristio candor, saw only the reality, Cortell was, for some reason, impressed chiefly by the appearanoe. Bristol, perhaps naturally, reflected only Cortell's view. He at once walked to the table and, lift- ing the gloves, said, with eyebrows raised! "A present? Won't you let me into your joke?" "How are you, Bristol?" Cortell said, holding out his hand. "I hope you haven't forgotten me." The worst of it was Edna was still laughing, and there were the gloves. Bristol appeared to think that the situation demanded a display of quiet dignity. "I remember you perfectly, Mr. Cor - tell," he said, bowing slightly. "May I ask again what amuses you so much?" Edna became serious in a moment, and as she became serious she became angry. "It isn't very mudh of a joke, Mr. Bris- tol," she said. "1! you insist on having. it, however, Mr. Cortoll has just found an old pair of gloves of mine and has brought then to me because it didn't occur to him to put them in the fire. Isn't it funny?" "I hardly think so," Bristol answered. "Perhaps I might appreciate the joke bet- ter if I knew where Mr. Cortell found these gloves." As Cortell opened his month to make 1 some answer to him Edna, putting up her hand, said: "This is my business. I'm afraid you will not have an opportunity of fully appreciating the joke, Mr. Bristol, until you manage to get yourself into a better humor for that sort of thing." She very carefully folded up the gloves and laid them behind the clock on the mantelpiece, while Cortell stared at her and Bristol stood biting his nether lip. Then there was an awkward pause for some moments until Cortell said some- thing about -going. "Why, I've hardly had ten words with you yet, Mr. Cortell," Edna said, with a wicked glance at the other man. "Please don't go yet. Perhaps—perhaps I may find something of interest to show you if you'll wait a little longer." "Then perhaps I had better call at some other time," Bristol said. It was a very awkward situation indeed. Bristol could not stay after this last ob- servation of hie, and Cortell could not run away after Edna's pressing invitation. Half an hour later Cortell said: "What did yon mean by saying that you might find something interesting to show me?" "Did IP" said Edna. "Do you hold me to it? It occurred to me suddenly. Wait here." She ran outof the room and after a lit- tle while came back holding something behind her. "Do you recognize this?" and she sud- denly produced an old faded red velvet smoking cap. It was a mephisto, with sides pulled down and an absurd brush at one side. "By jingo I'i Cortell exclaimed. "When did you find that old cap, Miss Berson?" "About a week ago," Edna said, look- ing a little confused. "I didn't know you were coming home, then." "Jack stole my cap, didn't he?" " Yes. You had to go home bareheaded." "And you would pull off your gloves and try to reach for pond lilies." "And you wouldn't give them back to me.I made Jack give me your os. to keep in pledge of my gloves."

Then both burst out laughing once more. As for the story that Bristol and Cortell had high words after that and that mutual friends with difficulty prevented them from fighting a duel, there never was any- thing in it. Bristol was a sensible man at bottom, even though irascible at times. He made some sort of apology to Edna Barson for his exhibition of toinper.

The stock of the "store" con- sists of harness and saddler's hardware. Those articles are hung upon iron spikes driven in the pole. The proprietor, who is also clerk, cashier and "barker," carries some of the stook on his person. Lighter weight articles are around his neok. Cur- rycombs, brushes and other articles are in his pockets. He holds a bunch of whips under ono arm and carries one lash in his hand.

Prisoners confined in different parts of jails often use cipher codes in oommuni- sating with one another. Generally when these cipher messages are found by the officials they have not mnoll difficulty in translating them. The guards in the Kansas City jail, however, encountered some writing it cipher that proved too hard for them, and it was a good while before the key was accidentally disoovered. A fellow named Turner, in for forgery, invented the puzzle. The writing was on long narrow strips of pa- per, on the edge of which were letters and parts of letters that apparently had no connection and from whfoh no words could be formed. - One day a deputy who was passing the oell of a prisoner saw hien passing a long strip of paper around an octagon lead pen - oil. He took the paper away, and on it were the mysterious scrawls that had wor- ried the keepers. But the deputy got an idea from this, and, going back to the office, he wrapped the strip around an oo- tagon shaped lead pencil and after several trials adjusted it so that the parts of the letters fitted together and made a sentence, though the writing was very fine.
