Thia department la under the management and control of the Beldlo W. I J. T. U. Nearly all men aree in looking with very tfreat scorn upon the woman who drinks. A man may drink to excess regularly and pub licly, yet continue to be highly re spected, especially when he happens to have money. Hut there is no in dulgence or forgiveness for the wo mannot the slightest. We are glad that the social law say3 to woman you must not drink. We are glad that true mother love says do not drink liquor, but set a good example for your children. But we do believe that the lover should be as moral as he wishes his sweetheart to be. That the father, shouM be just as true as he wishes the mother to be. We do uot believe in two sets of moral codes. If it is wrong for the, sweetheart, or the mother to indulge in intoxicating drinks, then it is wrong for the lover or father to do the same. How many men would live with drunken wives? How many young men would like the young lady they Intend to mar ry, to be found under the influence of liquor. Why two codes of morals? Why should not the extremely rich young woman, and the hard working woman indulge in intoxi cating drinks, as well as the ex tremely rich young man, and the hard working man? You say the rich young maVs father left him so much money and nothing to do. What else can you expect of him? And of the overworked man, doomed to a continuous round of dull drudgery, you say that his life is so dull it is enough to drive him to drink. There are women who drink, un fortunately, and those about them are to bo pitied although not near ly so much to be pitied as the un happy women themselves. At the same time we should re member with gratitude this fact: In a land where drunkenness among men is looked upon as a mat ter of course it is almost unknown among women, save when they are tempted by stupid men or by fool ishly luxurious, idle lives. And it is really unknown among the hard working mothers of the country, among those whose monotonous lives, full of never-ending work, wo .ml be held an excuse for any ex: cess among men. CAUTION !

ARE YOU A ooMina MOTHER 7 ARE YOU EXPEOTANT 7 MOTHER'S FRIEND makes childbirth easy by preparing the system for parturition and thus shortening laboY. The painful ordeal is robbed of its terrors, and the danger lessened to both mother and child; the time of confinement is shortened, the mother rested, and child fully developed, strong and healthy. Morning sickness, or nausea arising from pregnancy, is prevented by its use. As pregnancy advances, the breasts en large, become swollen and hard. Jyong before the child is born, they are prepar ing for the secretion of milk. It is import ant that they receive early attention. Mother's Friend softens the skin and facilitates the secretion of Life Fluid. Undeveloped breasts, hard-caked shortly iter delivery, are the result of non treatment, and likely to culminate in Mammary Abscess, from which so many suffer excruciating pain and are left with these organs permanently impaired.

TMC BIA0FICLO IC0UUT0I CO., ATLANTA, ftJL TH KIANQS OF INDIA, Tb Wild llorae-Ar Vlcloua aad SalU to He luUuabl. Writing of the klau. or wild horse9, of India, found near the laud of Tibet, Thomas W. Weber iu -The Forests of Upper India and Their Inhabitants" says: Uere for the first time we saw tb kiang, or wild hors. Several herds came to look at us as we marched and galloped around, neighing uud kicking up, but kept at a respectful distance. They have big, .ugly heads and tails and ears like a mule's and a black stripe down the back; color, light bay, with white noses. They have flno free action In trot and gallop and are four teen to fifteen hands high, strong iu the legs and heavy in the body. We were welcomed by the neighing of nu merous wild horses to the land of the klang. Several herds kept circling round, the old stallions approaching in a quite threatening manner, snorting, squealing and kicking up their heels, while the mares and fouls galloped off at a more respectful distance. There wan a herd of kiang which careered about our camp In a most objectiona ble way, making the most fearful dla turbunces. We witnessed a battle roy al between two stallions, which for ferocity and wicked fury surpassed any tight 1 have seen. Again and again the pair went at one another like ti gers, biting and kit king and mauling, the blood flowing freely, while the fear ful yells and roars they kept up were terrifying to hear. This went on for hours. The horrible roars ami shriek lugs made by tin wild horse when lighting sound something like a noise between a donkey's bray and the squealing of a jackal, but far more ear piercing and discordant. Here the klang Is found in considerable num bers, lie Is, according to the Hunla accounts, untamable. There was a young one purchased at Uagesar fair from some lluuias for a small price. The purchaser thought he had a good bargain and proposed to send the ani mal to England, but when his men went to bring away the purchase no power could Induce it to leave its fos ter mother, an old Ahbet pony, which the clever Iluulas refused to sell ex cept for an exorbitant sum. EXPERTS IN WOOD. The Old Violin .Maker and the Mate rial They I'aed. The great violin makers all Ilred within the compass of l.K) years. They chose their wood from a few great tim bers felled in the south Tyrol and floated down In rafts pine and maple, sycamore, pear and ash. They ex amined these to find streaks and veins And freckles, valuable superficially when brought out by varnishing. They learned to tell the dynasty of the pieces of wood by touching them. They weighed them, they struck them and listened to Judge how fast or how slow or how resonantly they would vibrate In answer to strings. Some portions of the wood must be porous and soft, some close of fiber. Just the right beam was hard to find. When found. It can bo traced all through the violins of some great master and after his death in some of his pupils. The piece of wood was taken home and seasoned, dried In the hot Brescia and Cremona sun. The house of Strad lvarlus, the great master of all, is do scribed as having been as hot as an oven. The wood was there soaked through and through with sunshine. In this great heat the oils thinned and simmered -slowly and penetrated far Into the wood until the varnish became a part of the wood Itself. The old violin makers used to save every bit of the wood when they found what they liked to mend and patch and inlay with It. So vibrant and so reso nant is the wood of good old violins that they murmur and echo and sing In answer to any sound where a number of them hang together on the wall, ns If rehearsing the old music that they once knew. Hard on the Ladle. Very few remember the existence of a certain remarkable statute which was passed In the early days of George III. if Indeed they ever heard of It. It runs to the effect that If any woman "entices any of his majesty's male sub jects Into marriage by the use of any powders or paints or false hair or wool on the cheeks she. shall be prosecuted for sorcery," What a cause celcbre It would be If any of his present maj esty's male subjects were to endeavor to put the law into action. What a rush there would bo of fashionable la dles to secure front seats In court for the hearing. Umdon Tatler. From the Father's Side.

Subscribe for the liniiner A Ltiekr III Wlanlaa. In the old days' said a Colorado Uiau, veuator Tonl Bo wen came to Denver frctn Arkansas down on his luck. Steve Dorsey had Just defeated him for the United States senate. Tom didn't sem to catch on In Den ver, though he wus a good lawyer. lie was run down at the heel, and he took to pin pool to kill time. The stakes were usually a round of drinks and a bunch of mining stocks, the par value of the stocks represented being entire ly consistent with the cost of paper and the price of printing. It was al ways a real hardship on Tom when he lost. The drinks had to be paid for in cash, you know. But be seldom lost, and, do you know, the little woman at home used to go through his pockets every night for mining stocks. "Well, one day there was a high strike In a prospect not so very far from Denver, and In telling his wife about It the future senator sighed that he wished he owned a few shares. '1 think you do, dear,' answered the little woman, and then to make sure the wont and looked over her possessions To make a long story short, Tom How en went downtown that afternoon with securities worth half a million in his pocket, and he remembered that he had won them all In.a single half day uol long before." New York Telegram. Ohjeeted to Free Fnffa. John Knapp of the St. Louis Hepub llcan had little use for press agents, and It took a mighty shrewd man to get a free puff from him. He never would publish a lawyer's or a doctor's name If he could avoid it, for fear they might derive some benefit from the free advertisement. It is said that one morning mention was made in the Re publican they call it the Republic now of a man having died of Rright's disease. Old man Knapp hunted up the proofreader and called him into the private office. "Why did you let that get into the paper?" asked the old man, Indicating with his forefinger the objectionable paragraph. "I don't see but that's all right," said the reader. "You don't, eh?" snapped old man Knapp. "You don't, eh? Do you think we want to advertise that man Bright for nothing? He never had an ad. In this paper in his life." Manx Cats. The peculiar breed of cats found In the Isle of Man differs from others only in that they have no tails, and the lack thereof Is the Insoluble puzzle to nat uralists. Since It has become the fash Ion to explain everything by the prin ciples of evolution, two theories have btvn offered one that, owing to the limited range and lack of dense forests, the original cats had no use for talis, and consequently they (the tails, not the cats) gradually atrophied for lack of use and became rudimentary; anoth er that the primitive Manx cut off all their cats' tails and in the course of time developed a tailless breed. One thing Is certain the cats are there, and they have no talis. The Pnhllc Spirited Father. "Sir," said the proud mother to the popular author, "my son, who Is now fourteen years old, admires you great ly. He also Is an author. He has written a number of stories, and I would have so liked to have you read and criticise them." "Ah!" said the popular author, breathing hard. "But his father put all of them into the stove." "I should like to make the acquaint ance of such a man," said the author with enthusiasm. "He has the Bplrit of a Roman father.' Indianapolis News. Dreaalnsr It Up. A Jasper county farmer paid a high tribute to the literary talents of a Car thage real estate agent the other day. He decided to sell his place and got a real estate agent to write a notice. When the agent read the notice to him, he said, '.'Read that again." After the second reading he said: "I believe I'll not sell. I've been looking for a place of that kind all my life and didn't know I had It until you described It to me." St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Amateur Might Do M Wall. "Tell the truth, now. You are a pro fessional beggar, are you not?" said the keen faced Individual who bad been approached. "I used to think I was," replied the weary wayfarer, "but since 13 cents is all I have to show for a day's work I I am fon-ed to the conclusion that I am merely an amateur." Stray Stories.
