Thousands of women suffer in this way

do anderstand their condition, neglect it
father than submit to the obnoxious exam

by the average physician. Dr. Pierce's

of the home. It acts directly on the deli

strong, vigorous and healthy. It banishes
•be dtscomforts of the expectant period and
makes baby’s advent easy and almost pain
less. It transforms weak, nervous, petulant
invalids into happy wives and mothers.
Thousands of women have testified, over
their own signatures, to this fact. The
"Favorite Prescription " may be procured
From any good medicine dealer. Any wom

COITON BELT CI1ANUING.
New York Sun.
North Carolina has alieady enough
mills within her borders to spin every
bale of cotton raised in the state and a
little to spare, and in a few years the
same will be true of Georgia, of South
Carolina and a few other Atlantic
states. But now it is predicted that
within ten years these great southern
mills will be as far from the center of
cotton production as the New Eugland
mills, when the distance is measured
by freight rates. The reason for this
is not far to seek. The cotton belt
bas been changing and shifting year by
year. The great bulk of our cotton
came from the states east of the Mis-
•isiippi twenty years ago, but to-day
about seven-tenths of the crop is raised
beyond that river. The cotton belt
was supposed originally to run only
through the best lands oi Virginia,
G eorgia and the two Carolines, with
the edges overlapping parts of the con- i
tiguous states. Texas was not thought
of, Arkansas was too far west and
Missouri arid Kansas were supposed to
be good only for corn and cattle.
The map of the cotton belt is en
tirely altered, and each succissive year
it must be enlarged to include new
territory where cotton flourishes abun
dantly. Texas has forged ahead in
cotton raising so rapidly that growers
wonder where it will stop; Arkansas
has more recently started upon a sim
ilar career, while the farmers of Kan
sas and Missouri are beginning to raise
cotton on a large scale. At the pres-
ent rate ot increase this great belt
west of the Mississippi will soou be
raising three-fourths of all our cotton.
Then the mills of the South, around
which so much interest centers today,
will have as great a problem to solve
as the New England mills are strug
gling with.
But the growth and development of
the cotton mills in the South will con
tinue, now that the movement has
been once started. They will not
atop ill the eottoil belt e.isl 1)1 (he Mi--
sUrippi, but new ones will appear in
Kansas and Missouri, and south to tlie
Gulf. There is something in this new
cotton belt that promises great things
for the tuture. The climate is, in
some respects, better suited to cotton
growing than the Atlantic seaboard
sta:«s. The cotton plants demonstrate
this better than any scientific theory.
The bush grows higher and bears
longer, while open, rainless falls makes
the harvesting easier, and the injury
from insects and weather less.
It is estimated by the department of
agriculture that cotton can be raised
successfully in nearly one-third of the
territory ot the United (States. At
present the cotton belt covers 24 de
grees ot longitude and about 10 de
grees of latitude, but only about one-
twentieth of the land is actually used
for cotton growing. Thus the 20,000,-
000 acres of cotton plantations represent
only a fraction of the vast empire of
co4:on soil that has never been tilled
A Joke on the Joker.
For the last week or so a Louisville
drummer, who is an incorrigible prac
tical joker, has been staying at an up
town hotel, says the New Orleans
Times-Democrat, and putting in his
time chiefly in thinking up schemes for
having tun. . He happens to have a
friend at the same house who is greatly
troubled with insomnia, and when once
aroused after retiring is in for a night
of tribulation. A few evenings ago the
Louisville man was seized by a bright
idea, and ringing his bell, told the boy
to leave a 2:30 call for No. 1,140, his
friend’s room. ‘‘Tell ’em to be sure to
knoek very loud,” he said, and chuck'
led merrily to think of the row that
would tie sure to follow the summons.
He went to bed rather early himself,
and was rambling through the happy
realms of dreamland, when his door
was knocked half of! its hinges by a
succession of terrific thumps from the
outside. “Holy Moses!” cried the Louis
ville man, jumping up in a panic,
“what the dickens is the matter?”
Bang! bang! bang! went the door, like
three cannon shots. “Get up! Get up!
called somebody form the hall, and
then there was a sound of quickly re
treating footsteps. The drummer was
thoroughly alarmed. “Good heavens!”
he said to himself “the house must be
on fire, and the porter is rousing the
guests!” He dressed in frantic haste,
buttoned hie pantaloons into his vest,
put on his shirt wrong side, to oniited
liis socks altogethfft,and sprinted down
to the office at a record-breaking gait.
Everything was strangely quiet.
What’s up?” he said, breathlessly, to
the clerk. “You seem to he for one,”
prowled that dignitary, waking out of
a doze. “1 should say so,” retorted the
drummer, “Somebody nearly broke
my door down just now. What’s the
matter, anyhow?” “Why, that was
your call,” said the clerk, “you ordered
a call at 2:30, didn’t you?” “Yes,” re
plied tlie drummer, beginning to under
stand, “but confound you, I ordered it
for 1,140.” “So you did,” said the
clerk, calmly,“but you made a mistake.
Your room is not 1,140, but 1,116. It
I hadn’t noticed it on the book you
wouldn’t have been called at all.” The
drummer looked at him in silence for a
moment. Then he turned, still with
out speaking, and slowly mounted the
stairs. At 2:30 the elevator is not run-

Ala, tells her experienoe with catarrh
of the stomach and how she was
cured:
“ I will state to you that I have
taken eight bottles of your Pe-ru-na
and two of Man-a-lin and rejoice to say,
‘ God bless Dr. Hartman and Pe-ru-na.’
And I earnestly assure you that it
has done me more good than any medi
cine I have ever taken in my life. I
prescribe it to every one I meet who
is Buffering, as the best medicine in
the world, and have made many con
verts who are now rejoicing in the
great good which they have derived
from the same. I can tell you that I
am almost entirely relieved of indiges
tion, that great foe which has tortured
me so many years, and can now eat
anything I desire without it is fruits or
something acid.’’
To understand the scientific action
of Pe-ru-na it is best to have Dr. nart-
man s special book for women or his
book on chronic catarrh. These books
are mailed free by the Pe-ru-na Medi
cine Company, Columbus, O. All

PRICt OF PEACE IN AFRICA.
Stanley (Quieted Hostile Savages With
Six Yards of Sheeting.
“Suddenly looking around we saw
with dismay about a hundred natives
in war costume standing in a mass not
far from our campt” writes Henry M.
Stanley, the African explorer, in the
November Ladies’ Home Journal, de
scriptive of an encounter with the sav
ages during one of his early trips into
Africa. “Each head was crowned
with tall plumes of eagle and kite, or
with manes of zebra and giraffe. We
felt that in some way we were the ob
ject of the gathering. Even while we
gazed other warrieis arrayed for battle
came streaming along.
“My men instinctively buckled on
their accoutrements and prepared their
weapons, and I sent two guides out to
the natives to parley quietly with them
and to ascertain whether they had
armed against us, and while the inter
view lasted I found the necessary time
to make a few preparations to meet any
unreasonableness.
“The guides on returning to us re
ported that the gathering was hostile
because one of our men, it was said,had
stolen a calabash of milk and some hat
ter, and they insisted on payment. The
price was four yards of sheeting! One
felt tempted to laugh that such a small
matter should wear so serious an aspect.
The cloth was measured, and handed
to the guides with the injunction to
present it without any offensive remark
and I had the impression that the affair
would soon he settled. It was confirm
ed at seeing them accept the cloth and
prepare to depart. But the aboriginal
nature, is a curious one. The number
of the natives had increased enor
mously. Each fresh squad had brought
its own leader, and these new leaders,
greedy or envious, demanded satisfac
tion. They halted those who held the
cloth and clamorously wrangled with
them. From their tierce gestures 1
judged their predatory instincts were
fully aroused, and that the hot dispute
would end in mutual slaughter, but
presently the mass alligned itself at a
bow-shot from the camp, while a body
of about two hundred natives started
off on a dog-trot toward a thick bush
behind the camp. Efforts to avoid a
fight eventually failed.”
THE RUSSIAN ARMY.
The opinion prevails in Vienna that
the czar was led to seize the imtative
in disarmament proposals by a report
submitted by Gen Dedjourine, who has
prosecuted an exhaustive inquiry, into
the present efficiency of the Russian
standing army, the probable value of
the reserve force and the effect which
military conscription has upon eoo
nomic conditions throughout the em
pire. According to this report 69 per
cent of the nearly 1,000,000 young men
who this year become liable to inili-
tarp service fail of passing the medical
examination. The general is blunt in
assigning the cause for this state ot
affairs. He says that it is the condi
tion that is to be expected so long as
the flower of the nation are kept under
arms away from their homes. Degen
eracy of the species, in consequence of
wholesale conscription, he declares,pre
vails throughout all the agricultural
districts of Russia. With a population
in all the Russias of about 121,000,000
the imperial army, on a peace footing,
contains not far from 90f,000,men,and
Gen. Dedjourine declares that it is use
less to expect the standard of strength
to be maintained when the population
suffers so continuous and exhausting
a drain.
