THE DANGER to which the Expectant Mother is exposed and the foreboding and dread with which she looks for ward to the hour of woman’s severest trial is appreciated by but few. All effort should be made to smooth these rugged places in life’s pathway for her, ere she presses to her bosom her babe. MOTHER’S FRIEND allays Nervousness, and so assists Nature that the change goes for ward in an easy manner, without such violent protest in the way of Nausea, Headache, Etc. Gloomy forebodings yield to cheerful and hopeful anticipations—she passes through the ordeal quickly and without pain—is left strong and vigorous and enabled to joyously perform the high and holy duties now devolved upon her. Safety to life of both is assured by the use of “ Mother’s Friend,” and the time of recovery shortened. “I know one lady, the mother of three children, who suffered greatly in the birth of each, who obtained a bottle of ‘Mother’s Friend’ of me before her fourth confinement, and was relieved quickly and easily. All agree that their labor was shorter and less painful.” John G.

ATLAHT*. Ga. How He Shot. A Texas military company was ordered out on the range prac ticing at rifle shooting. The lieu tenant in command suddenly be came exasperated at the proof shooting, and seizing one of the guns from a private cried sharply: ‘-I’ll show you fellows how to shoot.” Taking a long aim. and a strong aim, and an aim altogether, he fired and missed. Coolly turning to the private who owned the gun, he said: “That’s the way you shoot.” He again loaded the weapon and missed. Turning to the second man in the ranks, he remarked: “That’s the way you shoot.” In this way he missed about a dozen times, illustrating to each soldier his personal incapacity, and Anally he accidently hit the target. “And that,” he ejaculated, giv ing the gun back to the private, “is the way I shoot.”—Los Ange les Express. Historic Flag Decaying. Why the government has not taken better care of the silk flag which hung over President Lin coln’s box in Ford’s theater that fateful April night in 1865—the flag over which the assasin tripped, causing him to sprain his ankle— is an official enigma. All the Lincoln relics have been cared for in £l special museum in Washing ton, but this flag, while in the hands of the government, was given over to the care of the treas ury department. No special at tempt has been made to preserve the silk, and it is likely soon to decay and disappear. The flag has a history of its own. When Jubal Early made his raid in ’64 around Washington the male employes of the treasury de partment organized in defending the capital. The women employes could not fight, but they made a silk flag and gave it to the Treas ury Guard. Two nights before the assassi nation the Treasury Guard gave an entertainment in Ford’s thea ter, and the flag was used in the decoration of the boxes. It looked so pretty that the manager of the theater asked that it remain there a couple of da3 r e, as on the night of the 14th the president was to be present at the play. After the shooting Booth jumped from the box to the stage. His spur caught in the flag, and he was thrown violently to the floor of the stage. The flag still has the rent in it caused by the spur. The treasury people take as good care of the flag as they can, but they are unacquainted with the scientific way to do -it. The heat of the building is causing the de cay of the flag rapidly.—New York Press. The Bicycle Fiend. “One of the most obtrusive un pleasantness in the conversation of the bicycle fiend,” observed a non-bicyclist, “is that habit of his of personally appropriating every part and particle of his machine. It is apparently 7 not enough that he should possess the bicycle in its entirety, but also in detail. ‘My wheel,’ when uttered, two or three times to every sentence, is bad enough, but when it comes to ‘my saddle,’ ‘my tires,’ ‘my valve,’ ‘my handle bar,’ and so forth, the effect is both irritating and irra tional. I once heard a man dis course for hours upon ‘my inner tube.’ Being then not so erudite upon the thing as I now am, I had the greatest difficulty in deter mining what he meant. From the viewpoint of him who does not ride, the possessive case is no where so overworked as in the con versation with the bicycle fiend.” ’$ rff Pectoral saved the lives of two of my chil dren when to all appearance they were in the first stage of COIiSililipM.” J.
