Every woman loves to think of the
time when a soft little body, all her
own, will nestle in her bosom, fully
satisfying the yearning which lies in
the heart of every good woman. But
yet there is a black cloud hovering
about the pretty picture in her mind
which fills her with terror. The
dread of childbirth takes away much
of the joy of motherhood. And yet it
need not be so. For sometime there
has been upon the market, well-known
and recommended by physicians, a
liniment called
Mlher's Friend
, which makes childbirth as simple and
easy as nature intended it. It is a
strengthening, penetrating liniment,
which the skin readily absorbs. It
gives the muscles elasticity and vigor,
prevents sore breasts, morning s:ck'
ness and the loss of the girlish figure.

New Y;i k, Sept. 21.?Concerning
the massacre of 5,000 Cniuese at
Blagovestcbensk by Russians, The
Evening Post contains an account
under da;e of August G L:
"As soon as the Russian troops
went down the river on transports,
July 14, the fort at Aygun begun
without warning to fire upon passing
steamboats, and on the 15.h fire v as
opened upon Blagovestcbensk at d
seme Russian villagers were burned
opposite the fort. The actual ii jury
inflicted by the Chinese was slight,
but the terror caused by it was inde
scribable, and it drove the cossacks
iDto a freLzy of rage. The peaceable
Chinese to the number of 3,000 or
4,000 in the city were expelled in
great haste, and being forced upon
rafts entirely inadequate, were most
of the drowned in attempting to cross
[the liver. The stream was fairly
black with their bodies. Three days

Mr. Wiight sa^t: "In our ride
through the country to reach the
city on Thursday, the 19tb, we saw as
j many as thirty villages and hamlets
of the Chinese in dimes. One of
j them was a city of 8,000 or 10,000
inhabitants. We estimated that we

saw the dwellings of 20,000 peaceable
Chinese in flames that awful day,
while parties cf Cossacks were scouring
the fields to fiufl Chinese and
shooting them down at sight. What
became of the women and children
no one knew; there was apparently
no way for them to escape to a place
of safety. On our way up the river

The wholesale destruction, both cf

Deafness Cannot be Cured.
By local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the
ear. There is only one way to cure
Deafuess, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused
by an inflamed condition of the mucous
lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube g(ts inflamed you
have a rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely
closed Deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by catarrh, which is
nothing but au inflamed condition of
the mucousurs.faces.
"We will give One Hundred Hollars
for any case of Deafness (caused
by catarrh) that cannot be cured by
Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for cir- j

Heavy Rain Storm.
Dallas, Ttx , Sept. 21.?The storm
of last night over nothern and northwestern
Texas was one of the most
disastrous rain and electrical storms
experienced in years. The damage
is heavy, but is confined largely to i
cotton and railway interests. Farmers
declare that the injury to the j
cotton crop will reach 10 per cent.
Trains on nearly every road in northern
Texas are far behind schedule j

"I thought she was such an advanced
woman that she always insisted
she would not give up her _

hyphenate it with her husband's."
"She did say so.
"But she hasn't done it."
"No. You see, things sometimes
happen very queerly in this world "
"How is that?"
"Her name, you will recall, was
