THE aMERICUS DAILY TJMES-RECOKPER: TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 3, 1893. FOOTUGHT FLASHES. Oont —all the p chronic weaknesses peculiar to the femalo fox. They go, with the use of Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescrip tion. Periodical pains, weak back, bearing-down sensations, nervous prostration, all “femalo complaints“ are cured by it. It is purely vege table and perfectly harmless — a powerful general, as well as uterine, tonic and nervine, imparting vigor and strength to the whole system. It costs you nothing if it fails to give satisfaction. It’s guaranteed to do so, in every case, or the money is refunded. It can be guaranteed —for it does it. No other medicine for women is sold on such terms. That’s tho way its makers prove their faith in it. Contains no alco hol to inebriato; no syrup or sugar to derango digestion ; a legitimate medicine, not a beverage. Purely vegetable and perfectly harmless in any condition of the system. World's Dispensary Medical As sociation, Proprietors, No. 663 Main Street, Buffalo, N. Y. This is the way with the Ball corset: if you want ease and shapeliness, you buy it—but you don’t keep it unless you like it. After two or three weeks’ wear, you can return it and have your money. '■ Comfort isn't all of it though. Soft Eyelets, and “bones" that can’t break or kink—Ball’s corsets have both of these. Foraale by GEO. D. WHEATLEY.

Ellen Terry’s daughter, under the name of Allan Craig. i*t going to adopt the stage as a profession. The Gennan Hebrews of Philadelphia are to have a theater of their own on Eighth street, south of Lombard. An Australian girl named Menk Meyer, who not only plays music but writes it. has been favorably received iu Europe. The late Israel Fleishman, who was the manager of the Walnut street and Park theaters iu Philadelphia, did Ida first the atrical work as an usher. A Chicago grocer la said to have such confidence in the dramatic genius of Mrs. Isealie Carter that he bus consented to advance money for her second tour. She lost about $30,000 last season. Mrs. Mary Wray Is eighty-seven years old; and probably the oldest actress living in this country. She is an Englishwoman. A daughter. Ada, Is the wife of the well knowu comedian, .John Wild. Sardou’s first comedy was a failure. He was a youth of twenty three when he made this first venture Into a field in which he afterward became famous, and was at that time a teacher of mathematics. It has l»eeii gossiped lately, says a writer in the New York Herald, that Miss Lillian Kusscil was soon to marry Mr. Carl Streit* mann, the tenor whom Mr. A in berg brought to this country a year or so ago. Hose Coghlan and Robert Mantel! are no longer under the sheltering wing of Au gustus Pitou. That manager has renewed his contract with Scnnlan, however, and lias, besides, his stock company and “The Power of the Press,’* all of , which will be on the road this season. It is computed by a French contemporary that Sarah Bernhardt has earned fi,516,000 francs during her professional career of a quarter of a century. From her first American tour she made a clear profit of 100,000 francs, and it is expected that the pecuniary gain of her present tour will itnount to 200,000 francs. FLOWER AND TREE. A rose, cultivated in a Philadelphia hot house, measures seventeen inches in width. An orange tree, only four inches high, at Yuba City, CaJ., has borne a perfectly form ed orange about the size of a currant.. There are certain plants in the tropics which grow suspended from limbs of trees, md in other positions, showing that they Jerive little or no nourishment from the sartli. On the summit of Ben Lomond maybe seen the smallest tree that grows in Great Britain; it is known as the dwarf willow, and is, when mature, only aliout two inches iu height. From India*comes the khus-khus grass, the fibrous roots of which yield a very pe culiar and pleasing perfume. In India the leaves are manufacture*! Into screens for doors and windows, which, when wet, dif fuse a refreshing scent. Attorney Henry C. Dillon, of the Kaweah colony, says no human agency can cut down a Sequoia gigantea and no sawmill lu this country could slice one up into boards. Dynamite is the ouly mean of destroying them, and the debris is then useful ouly os firewood. The cultivation of the India rubber tree on the island of Trinidad is receiving much attention. A few trees of different varie ties were imported some years ago and were placed In the botanical gardens. The results have shown that the soil and cli mate are remarkably favorable to their cultivation. The annual increase of the forests by natural growth, representing the interest which we are at liberty to draw without impairing the principal, exceeds in the United States alone ten times the value of the gold and silver output of this country md is worth more tbnn three times the product of all our mineral and coal mines put together.

In Germany, where crickets are seldom leen, its cry is thought to be a death warn ing. Frogs, toads and serpenta never take food but that which they are satisfied Is alive. The grip of an ant’a Jaw is retained even after the body has been bitten off and nothing but thu bead remains. The Jewfisb or tarpon rlaea to tbeeur- fuco every few minutee to breathe, and it baa an air bladder eighteen tncbea long. The eting of the scorpion Is precisely like tho fang of the rattlesnake and performs its deadly work on the same mechanical principles. The Xerobatee Agaealxll, the grasa eat ing turtle of tbe Mojave desert, is said to be the only one of the turtle species which lives by grazing like a borne or an ox. A parrot In Now York baa hail more than twenty owners and haa scared each one out of his wits by screaming “fire I” at an early hour In the moruing. until the whole house was aroused. A veteran Province town (Mass.) fisher man, who claims to know, says that when mackerel are on tbe move tbe advanced body is entirely composed of female fish, while the rear column is formed of the male.
