Parming as an occupation for Nomen may not sound attract,ive to adios of culture and refinement, but it, has been demonstrated by three foung womien in lilinois that it is both % lucrative and enjoyable business for 6he gentler sox, and alio that th y need not, lose their taste for the liner things of life in t.his humble employ ment,. They believe that woman can properly manage any business if she l, trained for it and will closely observe all the details and attend to It herself. I':xperience has taught tiaem that, agents were not it stccesa, as they very s'on bigan to trade on th.; supposed incapability of womi':n as business man agers and tried to deceive them by charging for work which was never done.

To "strike the flag" is to lower .he national colors in token of sub nission. Flags are used as the symbol of 'anik and command, the officers us ug them being called flag oflicers. luch flags are square, to distinguish Aem from other banners. A "ilig of truce" is a white flag lisplayed to an enemy to indicate a lesire for a parley or consultation. The white flag is the sign of peace. A f ter a battle parties from both sides )ften go out to the field to rescue he wounded or bury the dead under Ae protection of a white flag. The red flag is a sign of defiance, mud is often used by revolutionists. In our service it is a mark of dan .er, and shows a vessel to be recei v ig or discharging her powder. The black flag is the sign of piracy. '[he yellow Ilag shows a vessel to be at tquarantine, andi is the sign of .Jon tagious dlisease. A lhtg at half-mast means mourn ng. Fishing aind other vesseln e sumrn with a flag at half-mast to an iounce the loss or dleath of some D)ipping a flag is lowering it ligghtly and then hoisting it again, o salute a vessel or fort. If the P'resident of the United tat.es goes afloat, the American flag s carried1 in the bow of his barge or oistedl at the miainmast of the yes el on board of which lie is.-Our n' day~ Af/crnoon. Mr. \l ulhall, the statistician, dle lares that the plroduictive powver of hre United States is the greatest in he world, that it has more than rebled since 1 80, that the average X imer farm hand raises as much raini as three in England, four in r"tance, five in Germany, six in Ars ria, and teni ini Italy, and niot be ~ause he works more hours, but be ,ause lie has better machinery and >etter food. iIe figures the accu nulation of wealth at seven millions >er dlay. In intellectual power Mir. Iu1lhall pronounces America amraz nig. " I guess I've beeni victim ized c." That's tihe guess of FL. lnaany a hard f -~~ workinug sna,t ~ ~ y-- who, wortn-out, siee'pless, has I beert for months pay'ing exh orb,i tant b)iil to a ihigh - prit 'a dollar's wvorth of bentefit. Fre q tue n tly tuhe gutess is enitirely correct. There are too miany (doctors who are ncly liftted1 out of obscurity by tile size of heir bills5.

Inl )r. R. V. Pierce, of HBuffalo, N. V., he will nd( that kind of a phiysician. For thirty ears i)r. Pierce has beeni chief consulting hysician to the Invalids' Hotel and Surgi al Inlstituite, at HBuffalo. iIe is the disco.:erer of a wonderful lCedicine known as Dr. P'ierce's Golden ledical Discovery.
