“New Woman’inll

fresh air and the

,do much for her.
Fresh air is a great

4 same methods will
_\ not cure her if she
- . be already sick.
Taken under medical direction, in con-
nection with the right medicine, they
will help effect a cure. No women who
sufiers at all from 'so—called ‘ ‘ female weak-
ness‘” should attempt athletics of any
sort. She should first put herself into
possession of strong and hearty health by
" taking Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription.
After she is thoroughly well, exercise and
diversion will help to keep her well. The
'cure should come first. Dr. Pierce’s Fa-
vorite Prescription is designed and rec-
ommended for only the one thing. It
acts directly upon one set of organs. NO
matter what is the matter with them, it
will cure it. It will not cure anything
else. It is a wholesome tonic, an invig-
orating nervine, or nerve-food as well~ as
a healing medicine, and thousands of
perfectly well women have found that by.
taking it regularly during the period of
pregnancy, the danger and pain of par-
turition were much lessened, and in
many cases, almost entirely obviated...

RGSA BONHEUR. ‘
u_-'~.— .—
._ FEW INTERESTING RECCLLEC-
\TlONS OF HER EARLY LIFE.
She Labored Under Disadvantages “‘lieu
Young—Her Father Evidently an Un-
worthy Parent-«“hts Once Apprenticed
A
to a. Dressmaker.
Rosa Bonheur, though born in 1822,
is not yet old enough‘to publish her
memoirs, she says, but the Revue des
Revues has ,some delightful i'eeolcc1
tions,from the veteran artist’s fasci-
nating pen.
When in her seventh year tosa’s
parents moved to Paris from the coun-
try, where the little girl had been. born.
Rosa was sent to a boys’ school.
“where she gave as many blows as she
received.” \Vhile living in the coun—
try Ilosa had a dog, a cow and a goat
for playmates, “and it was my great-
est delight to cut out their likenesses
from paper. I commenced to do this
even before I was four years old,” says
the artist.
lVlien. Rosa was ten years old, her
father abandoned his family; in 1835
her mother died and Monsieur Bon-
heur returned home only to apprentice
little Rosa to a dressmaker. The oc-
cupation did not suit the girl, and she
sought employment with an heraldic
designer, at he same time spending all
her leisure time at the Louvre in study.
Soon she began to make copies of some
of the great paintings there, which
readily sold.
\Vlien Rosa was twenty-three. the
family once more moved into the coun-
try, and the budding artist could now
indulge hcr fancies for studying ani‘
mal life. She was in the open for days
and weeks at a time, observing domes-
tic animals and game. And not con-
tent with that, she made it her busi-
ness to visit the slaughter houses regu-
larly in order to study the anatomy of
her favorite subjects. Her first origi-
nal painting was exhibited in the Sa-
loon in 1846. It represented a number
of rabbits at play.
In 1850 she began her greatest paint-
ing, “The Horse Fair,” which was sub-
sequently exhibited in all the great
cities of America-with immense finan-
cial success. The original owner of it
was a M. Gambard. After “The Horse
Fair” came back from its triumphs]
march through America, it was resold .
for the sum .Of $00,000. In 1855 Rosa
Bonehcur was rich enough to buy the
estate of By, in the heart of the forest
of ISOntaiiicblcaii, where she has since
lived—New York Journal.
Oratory Out of Place.
A young lawyer jumped‘up to defend
a case of stealing in which the accused
man had retained him. Unfortunately
he had failed to thoroughly acquaint
himself with the facts Of' the case,
other than that his client had been ar-
rested for stealing.
“Your honor,” he cried, “I ask you
does the prisoner look like a man that
would steal? Does he look like a man
that would suffer his honesty to be de‘
moaned by appropriating another
man’s gold? No! a thousand times no';
He is a patriotic citizen of the country,
one of the proud upholders of our
grand republic, and I say it is an out-
rage for the plaintiff to accuse such a
gentleman of theft. Think of his
friends that will weep over his dis
grace undeservedly thrust upon. him.
Think Of the blight upon this man‘s
existence. I say the accused is too
manly, too generous, too noble a speci»
. men of lium—"
Smash went the judge's gavel as he
roared out:
“Quit that! ' Young man this
case of hog-stealing!”

The. Chinaman's Answer.
Sing Lee was an enterprising young
Chinaman who conducted a laundry in
a small mining camp in Colorado some
years ago. His never-failing good-hu-
mior made him a universal favorite,
and on more than one occasion the
boys-found that he had a ready tongue
in his head. A Presidential election
occurred about this time, and one of
the boys, an Irish-man, remarked to
Sing: “W'ell, Sing, ycz’ll have to be
goin’ to China now. The Irish be
goinv’ to run things here, and they
won’t have any hathen Chinee around.”
Quick as a flash Sing retorted: “All
light, me'go Ireland. Ilish no lun
things there.”—Yout-h’s Companion.
Florida Fishing Law.
One section of the fishing laws of
Florida provides that “Whoever fishes
for shad between sundown on Satur-
day afternoon and sunrise on Monday
morning of every week shall be pun-
ished by a fine not exceeding $200
and by, confiscation of boat and 215115
ing tackle used in such unlawful
acts.”—New York Tribune.
Glass Bricks.
Glass bricks are made extensively in
Germany. They are blown with a hol-
low centre, containing rarefied air, and
they are said to be as strong and dur-
able as clay bricks. They freely admit
light. So far, the glass brick has only
been used in the construction. of con-
servatories, and has been vetted a suc-
cess.
Metal Fatal to llIicrobes. ,3
Metals are fatal to microbes. sow
there is little danger that bacteria
may be transferred on coins. A sci-
entist says that at a temperature 01
95 to 100 degrees Fahrenheit, which
is common in the pockets where
money is carried, the destruction of
microbes occurs within three hours.
