It seems there are only a certain number of the collars used in the inves titure, and each one of these when once bestowed, is retained by the knight until death, when it is restored to the crown of Spain or Austria, to be held until some new knight is be in vested. Thus King Humbert now wears the collar once worn by Christopher Columbus; the late Emperor Fredericx of Ger many wore the collar once car ried by cortes, the conqueror of Peru, and so forth. Now it turns out that the only collar which is vacant —so to speak—is that worn by the late Prince of Bis mark, and, since the name of eaah wearer is engraved on one of the links of each collar it is evident that the collar last worn by France’s bitter and trium phantenemy will not do for the president of the French Repub lic. Since he returned home Cer vera has been telling his coun trymen that his ships were de stroyed by fire. Cervera is right. It was fire of the Ameri can brand, and the only saf< place for a Spanish ship , when an Amerieanjfire opens, is in McGinty’s harbor. “The Daughter of the Con federacy” is dead.

A new fangled prudery prevents many girls from \ learning things that they Iz I| i M ol >Kht to know before they r Y7 ’*7 assurne the duties of mat P 17 J r ' mon y and maternity. jCz/K 1 Athletics alone will not kgf J make a young woman thor oughly healthy. The wise £<’ w counsels of a good mother ■ or some older woman are ■ indispensable. i M The best and noblest tnis- w sion of a woman is to bear and rear healthy, intelligent children. In order to do this, she must be healthy and strong in a womanly way. Both the intel lectual and physical future of her children depend largely upon the mother. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is the best of all medicines for maids, wives and moth ers. It is intended to do but one thing and does that one thing thoroughly. It acts directly on the delicate and important or gans concerned in wifehood and mother hood and makes them strong, healthy, virile, vigorous and elastic. Taken dur ing the time of preparation, it banishes the trials and dangers of maternity. It insures the well being of the mother and the robust health of the child It is the greatest of nerve tonics and nerve builders. Thou sands of women have told the story of its marvelous accomplishments. Good medi cine dealers sell it and will not advise a substitute in place of it. In a letter to Dr. Pierce, Mr. C. A. McDonald, of No. »23 N. Chestnut Street. I,os Angeles. Cal., says ' “At Junction City I became acquainted with W. C. Dee. M. D. an old practitioner. He said he was a college chum of yours, but that you went to Europe to the best hospitals, while he commenced practice; that for thirty years you were considered one of the leading' physicians in New York State, and he considered your rem edies better than all others, and prescribed them daily in hi» practice On the strength of this commendation I tried your ‘ Favorite Prescrit>- tion ’ and the Pellets.’ The ‘ Favorite Prescrip tion has acted like magic in cases of irregular and painful monthly periods, a few doses only being necessary to restore the natural function. The ’ Pellets’ have proven kii infallible cure for sick and bilious headache." * In paper covers, 21 one-cent stamps; cloth binding, ten cents extra. Dr. Pierce’s Com mon Sense Medical Adviser. Address Dr Ji. V. Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y. * £ When Democrats go to wiping up the ground with each other, the other fellow reckons on a clean walkover. Columbus was the first Span ish soldier to land on American soil—now the winds will waft his dust back to the bull-fight ing shores. Gen. Garretson has made his report of the battle of Yauco. He says that the casualties of the enemy were “one lieutanent and one cornet killed.” " -“A. Should it really come to a knockdown between Russia and England it will result in more broken China than the prover bial bull in the shop. If Major Kid McKoy had on ly kicked Korbett in the kneck or kracked his kranium or krushed his jaw, the kountry kould kwite rekover. Notwithstanding his threats to commit suicide, Weyler is still alive. Weyler might try a visit to France. Suicides are greatly facilitated in France nowadays. Everything looks bright for a great Democratic victory on Wednesday next. Democrats should do their whole duty on this occasion. Vote for Candler and the straight ticket. While the people of Havana are starving andbusiness is dead, the city of Santiago is enjoying a commercial boom. The Ameri cans are cleaning up Santiago, while Havana, oh Havana is being “cleaned up” by the Spaniards, A tract of 1,150 acres of tim ber land in West Virginia that was granted to George Washing ton, by King George 111, of England for his services in the Indian wars previous to the rev olution has just been sold to lumber speculators.

Argentina is congratulating herself upon a favorable mer chandise balance of $32,000,000 in her foreign trade for the first half of the calendar year 1898. The exnorts were $82,000,- 000 and the imports $50,000,000 A like balance for the last half of the current year would enable Argentina to meet her annual charge to English investors, who have about one billion dollars of investments in Argentina. One of the war commission er’s members, Col. Sexton, has said that the talk against Alger was rot; another member, Ex- Governor Woodbury, of Ver mont, has a son who received an army appointment from the President, and the secretary of the commission is an editorial writer of the Washingtm Post, which has treated the charges against the War Department as nonsense and hysteria, and fi nally, though there may be nothing in a name, it is fre quently referred to as the Gener al Dodge Commission. ’T3 A bright exchange says that an island is a body of land surround ed by diplomatic complications. o o o It is too late to get Christmas packages ready for trends in Alas ka and just time for those in Ma nila.
