Most women naturally look forward to matrimony as their proper sphere in life, but they should constantly bear in mind that a fair rosy face, tfi•igbt eyes, and a healthy, well-developed form, are the best paesporta to a happy marriage. All those wasting dis- orders, weaknesses and functional irregulari- ties peculiar to their sex, destroy beauty and attractiveness and make life miserable. An unfailing specific for these maladies is to be found in Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. It is the only medicine for women, sold by druggists, under a positive guarantee from the manufacturers, that it Will give satisfaction in every case, or money will be re- funded. This guarantee has been printed on the bottle -wrappers, and faithfully carried out for many years. $1.00 per Bottle, or Six Bottles for 35.00. Copyright, 1888, by WORLD'S Di& MED. AWN,. DR.

An Incident of Mr. Hennan's Travels in the Land of the Czar. Mr. George Kennan, the Siberian ex- plorer and exposer, is one of the most entertaining conversationalists whom a person can meet. He is a very unas- suming man and very modest. Some of his most thrilling experiences will prob- ably never be put in print, or, at least, not for a number of years, for, strange as it may seem, Mr. Kennan hopes to again visit Russia aethe end of two or three years. He had very many narrow es- capes from death and the mental strain produced by them was natusally very great. One of these which has not been printed occurred once while he was in a Nihilist's house. He had papers with him which, if found, would result in his being instantly shot. He was informed that the officers were on bis track, and would arrive at this house within five minutes. Russian officers are very thor- ough when making a search for any thing of this nature, and what to do with these papers was a most pertinent question. But to think was to act, and taking up a hand -glass upon the table 4 he pried out the back with ,his knife, hastily put the papersin the frame and restored the back to its place just as the officers arrived. The search was made, the glass raised from the table, but the papers were not found. This is but a sample of the many experiences Mr. Kennan had in Siberia. He says that the horrors of the prison system there in vogue can not be described in words so as to convey any accurate idea to the reader or hearer. -Philadelphia Nortb , 8 Coughs?

SUBSCRIBE FOR THE NEW ERA A LIFE OF APPREHENSION. HUMOROUS. � London Truth says :-It was out that the Czar would be the guest of the German Emperor#i.t the Marble Palace, Potsdam, and when all kind of expensive pre- parations had been made there he decided that he would be safer in Berlin, and a large sum was expended in arranging for his reception at the Sehlose. Finally, only one day before the Emperor arrived, Count Scbouvalofi received a telegram from Copenhagen at. intimate that his Majesty would alight at the Russian embassy, and the message was quickly followed by the arrival of the imperial work- men, seven in number, who now go in advance of the Emperor whenever and wherever he trav- els. There are two carpeu ters, two masons, two locksmiths and a foreman. They most carefully examine the chimneys, locks flooring, walls and furniture of the house which the Emperor is to occupy,and his own apartments are subjected to the most vigorous search. The chimneys are objects of special attention, and every flue which leads to a room which the Emperor is likely to enter is thoroughly barred both top and and bottom, and, as if these pre- cautions were not sufficient, po- lice agents r from St. Petersburg patrol the roof both night and day. Spare our loved ones. Hear the plead ing That goes up from aching hearts. • But grim death, our plea unheeding, Pierces with his fatal dart Those who with us fain would tarry, Those we long so much to keep, And ere long their forms we carry To the grave so dark and deep. Pleading with death avails nothing. We must do something to ward off the dart he aims at those we ove. Wo must protect them from him. When the hack- ing cough, the hectic flush, or a pain in the side or chest gives indecation of a consumptive ten- dency, and act promptly. Go to your druggist and got a bottle of Dr Piece's Golden Medical Dis- covery. This remedy allays the inflammation of the delicate lung - tissues. It heals the irritated parts. It strengthens the blood and tones up the debilitated sys- tem, and in this way death can be forced to relinquish' his hold upon our friend. It is guaran- teed to cure, if taken in time and given a fair trial, or money paid for it will be refunded. IIOW TO CLOSE A WATCH. One of the group pulled out a handsome gold Iwatch, evidently new, looked at its face and closed the case noiselessly. 'Never do that,said the man next to him. 'You make the same error that most people do with watches. That is a new watch you htave there,and you are careful of it. Let me have it a moment and I'll show you some- thing.' The watch was banded to him. 'In colsing a hunting -case watch,' continued the second speaker, opening the one in his nand, 'never push the spring back so that the case will shut without a click. Shut it right down on the spring like that' -he closed the case with a sharp click -'and your case will not wear out in half the time that it will if you try to save it by pushing the little steel spring out of the way of its gold notch.' 'How do you know all this ?' asked the owner of the watch. 'I've been a watch salesman for many moons and know whereof I speak,' was the reply. $500 Reward for an incurable case of chronic__,,Nasal Catarrh, is offered by the manufacturers of Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy. CANADIAN BARLEY IN THE STATES. According to figures compiled from the records of the Bureau of Statistics, Washington, the imports of Canadian barley in the States for the fiscal year ended June 10, 1889, amounted to 11,- 851,652 bushels -an aggregate exceeded only by that of 1881-2, which was 12-, 147,924 bushels. The gain over 1887-8 was nearly 900,000 bushels. What the result will be for the crop year recently begun Is impossible to foretell. The trade in Canada barley, as in other grades, has been very dull. There is, perhaps, no degrease in the amount of beer consumed, but it is de- clared that brewers are using a large proportion of porn, from 30 to 50 per cent., in their products. The corn gives the beer its popular amber cblor, and increases its stimulating properties, but chemists assert that a beverage so made is not so wholesome as one made entirely from malt and hops. The Vanderbilts have given J. Pierre. pont Morgan a $50,000 servfoe of parte as a Christmas gift. 6. Some fashionable young men wear two pins in the necktie.

Superintendent -Yes, all our classes are very full. - Friend -It must be gratifying to see so many children anxious to come under your charge. Sup- erintendent -Yes, we have the reputation of giving the best pres- ents at Chsistmas of any church, and we mean to keep it up, too. John -Clara, I've got an im- portant question to ask you. Clara -I know what it is. You want me to be your wife. I dreamed it. Well, take me. John (rather nonplussed) -You dream- ed it ? Clara -Yes, I dreamed last night that you asked me what I am asking you and that you took me in your arms and kissed m e after I said you- What coul d John do ? The Bala ice of Trade. The trade returns of the Dominion for the fiscal year 1888.89 show that while the exports from Canada declined by over a million dollars or from. $90,- 203,000 to $89,189,167, imports increase from $110,894,630 to $115,224,931. The value of the goods entered for oonsump- tion last year was $109,673,447, com- pared with $102,847,100 in 1887-88. The amount of revenue from customs was $23,784,523, and $22,209,641 the year before -the average rate of duty upon inports in 1889 being 20.60, com- pared with 20.03 in 1888, and 13.74 in 1878. The returns for last year show therefore a deoline in exports, a large increase in imports and goods entered for consuMption, and an increase in the rate of customs taxation. The balance of trade against Canada - excess of imports over exports in 1889 was $26,055,764, compared with $20,- 681,630 in, the preceding year. Last year's balance of trade against the Dominion is far above the annual ave- rage and is about double what it was in 1878, when the Conservative leaders declared that the excess of imports over exports was the cause of oommer- nial depression, and promised to bring about a different condition of things. The trade returns show how they have kept their promisos. The amount of customs revenue colleoted last year was the highest in the country's history and yet the public debt was increased by over four millions of dollars. f. PEOPLE WHO TALK. NEWS NOTES Many people have thought that because Canada is not a very profit- able field for professional lecturers, the art of making money by plat- form talk on popular topics is no longer worthy of pursuit. But the experience of many well-known talkers does not bear out this con- tention. Mayor Pond, who was the means of introducing Gough, Henry Ward Beecher, Rev. Dr. Parker and other big guns to the Canadian public, points out that not a few eminent men here become rich in this way. Australia is a good field if a lectu*er makes a hit. Charles Clark, who is little known in America and England, where he failed to get any kind of a hearing, by lecturing in Australia paid off a number of large debts and also made an independent fortune. Richard A. Proctor, the astronomist, cleared $31,000 in one beacon in Australia. Archibald Forbes, by his lectures and newspaper articles, cleared $40,000 in eighteen months on that continent. 1114..s Li'dia von Finkle- tein made $25,000 on 1 •r . first Australian tour, and is still at if, doing a bigger business than ever. In America many fortunes have been made by lecturing. John B. Gough left about $100,000, every cent of which was made on the platform. In one season he paid the Redpath Lyceum Bureau $4,100 commiss- ion which was ten per cent of his net earnings. Thomas Nash made in the only season he devoted to lec- turing exclusively, over $40,000. _VIrs Mary A. Livermore isa rich woman. She has often 'cleared $10,000 in a single lecture season. She no longer receives as high as in the palmy days of the platform, but she is still a good attraction. Miss Anna Dickinson might have retired in 1874 in affluence on- the proceeds of her lecturing. -She made $75,000 and then lost it in theatrical ven- tures. Mrs Scott-Siddons made over $80,000 from her first three seasons of reciting in America, and she thought she had saved most of it. She one day asked her hus- band, who was her financial agent, for some money, and learned that he had lost ber fortune in speculat- ing in stocks. Mrs Siddons was the most successful reader ever known in this country, and she is still in good demand. Henry Ward Beecher received over $240,000 and all of his expenses for his twelve years of lecturing. This was not half of Mr Beecher's income, but he did not leave a large fortune. Ilia money brought as much happiness to others as it did to Mr Beecher. Dr Tal- mage is rich. He makes more than any other lecturer, and lectures oftener. He is up for the highest bidder and inexperienced managers of lyceums take great risks on him, but the Doctor has an inv ,fable rule.' "Settle before the Tcture and avoid misunderstanding." "Bill" Nye is adding to his bank account at a most rapid rate. From his writing and entertainments he sel- dom clears less than $1,000 a week. At Huronton, Mich., on Sunday, Theodore Gross, his wife and eight children and a visitor were burned to death in their dwelling. At Eastbourne, Eng., on . Thursday night, Mrs Taylor, a widow with two daughters, drank herself into a frenzy and cut the throats of the two girls while they were sleeping. After com- mitting the terrible crime the woma.i ran into the street, brandishingthe razor reeking with the blood el her children, and was oaught and disarmed with great difficulty. When Baby was sick, we gave her Osstorla, When she was s Child, she cried for Oratorio, When she became Mies, she clang to Csatoris, non she had Children, ehe gave them Cantor'', Hon. J. GIN Blanchet, Collector of Customs at Quebec, formerly Speaker of the House c,f Commons, is dead. Governor Goodall,of New Hampshire, has issued a proclamation, in view of the many crimes committed traceable to the liquor traffic, calling on all offi- cials and good citizens to unite in a supreme effort to close every saloon in the state. A young farmer named Chas. Reding, who lives near Ancaster, was severely wounded on Tuesday by being bitten on the leg by ,a savage boar. The wounds are very severe and if blood poisoning sets in will prove dangerous. T.W. Caskey, anacquaintance of the late Jefferson Davis for 50 years, in a lecture at Bonham, Texas, the other night, said the life of Jesus Christ was repeated to a great extent in the person of Jefferson Davis. Rev. J. Edmonds, of Hayesville, Ont., bas accepted a Sall to St. Peter's parish (Episcopal) in Hills- dale, Mich. lie will begin his work in about two weeks. The common council of Frank fort, Ky., recently passed an or- dinance prohibiting the sale of cigarettes within the corporation limits. Tho law went into effect January 1, and there is not a cig- arette to he had in the city. At Chattanooga,Tenn.,two finsehorses drawing a party returning from a wed- ding ran into a broken telephone wire that had become crossed with an leee- trid light wire. Both horses were killed and the driver knocked senseless by the shook. As Miss Maggie Layman was dressing for her wedding at Bran- don, Ohio, last week, she picked up a revolver and was about to place it in her dresser drawer when the weapon was discharged. The ball entered her thigh, making a dangerous wound. The wedding was postponed. In Mitchell county, North Car- olina, twelve miles from Bacus- viile, in a drunken row on Christ- mas Day. three men were killed. On Friday • Monroe Garland, a brother of one of the murdered men, rode up to a crowd in the same place and fired into it, kill- ing three and wounding twelve. We regret to have to announce the death of the wife of Mr David Redfern, of Owen Sound, which occurred on Saturday evening. The cause of death is attributed to blood poisoning which originated in a most peculiar manner. One evening about two weeks ago while holding a lighted match she burned her finger. Paying such attention to It as is ordinarily given to those everyday occur- ences, the wound neatly healed. A few days previous to her death, however, she felt a stinging sen- sation in the finger and it gradu - ally grew worse and began to fester. A physician was consult- ed and poulticing was prescribed. The treatment was unavailing, and on Thursday of last week her condition became alarming and she gradually sank until death re- lieved her sufferings. Three men attempted to blow np the Opera House at Millvale early Wednesday morning with dynamite. A dance- was in pro- gress there, and 850 young peaplo were in the hall. It is said one of the men lit a stick of dynamite and throw it up the staircase. A teri iffc explosion followed, and the dancers made a wild rush fur the doors, The doorkeepers clos- ed the doors thereby keeping back the crowd. In a few minutes ord- er was restored. It was then found that the staircase had been town away, and had the dancers succeeded in getting through the doors they would have fallen through to the cellar. Part of the front wall was also blown away Tho dancers were all dismissed by a back stairway. It is supposed the perpetrators of the outrage had a grudge against some of,the dancers.
