Love is the corner-stone of a woman's life, She builds all her hopes upon and around those tender affections which she cher ishes toward the ones who are dear to her, and which she looks to receive from them in return. This is woman's nature; it is the God given instinct that makes her a fond and tender sweetheart ; a comforting, helpful wife ; an ever-loving, solicitous, care-taking mother. When a woman feels that the responsi bilities and duties of wifehood and moth erhood have become irksome to her a burden and trouble rather than a source of uplifting and inspiration it shows that there is some deficiency in her physical make-up; some abnormal and unhealthy condition of the delicate and important special structure of womanhood. Many thousands of women annually write to Dr. R. V. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y., the eminent specialist in women' diseases requesting profes sional advice which he is always elad to send without charire and tellinir him of the marvel- oua benefits thev have received from his won derful " Favorite "Prescription " in building up their special health and physical energy. " I would like to express my gratitude to you for the benefit I have received from your won derful ' Favorite Prescription,' " writes Mrs. H. C. Anderson, of South Britain, New Haven Co.. Conn. " During the first month of preg nancy I could not keep anything on my stom ach. I was so sick that I had to go to bed and stay for weeks. , "I tried different doctors, but with little bene fit. I read about many being helped by using your medicine so I thought I would give it a trial. I began to take ' Favorite Prescription in November and I had a nice little baby girl in February following. My baby weighed: over eight pounds. I was only in hard labor about one hour and got along nicely during confine ment: was up and dressed on the eighth day. " The ' Favorite Prescription ' helped me won derfully. It kept me from ha vine a miscarriage. This makes my second child; with the first one I did not take ' Favorite Prescription ' and I had a miscarriage. This last baby is as plump and healthy as any mother could wish." .

THE AMERICAN PROPOSITION. I ' ' The Powers Coocnrln Arreeneat to Mali- tilo Free Eotry ol the Commerce of tbe "World to All the'Ports of the Chinese Empire. Br Telegraph to the Moraine Star. Washington, December SO. Nego tiations opened by Secretary Hay with the great powers of Europe and with Japan towards securing a common un derstanding for a continued open door policyf throughout China have met with most gratifying results. The State Department is unwilling at pres ent to make public the nature of the replies received, as this information will be embodied in a special message to Congress. But in other quarters, thoroughly reliable and in position to have trustworthy and accurate infor mation. it is lesrned that favorable rt-sponses have been madeTy Great Britain, Germany, France, Russia (the Russian communication coming as late as yesterday) and Japan. Tr-ere is no doubt, it is thought sere, mai Italy, the remaining country address ed, will make. favorable answer ir, indeed, it has not already done so. . . . a V-n ll 4 1 The position 01 aurope is ieu 10 do as sured iy the favorable course adopted by the other four great powers of Europe. . The importance o' this unanimous verdict by all the first class powers of the world Great Britain, Russia, Ger many, France, Italf. and Japan in conjunction with the United States, can hardly be over-estimated, so far as it relates to the future of China, and the commerce of the world in that empire. The State Department is loath to discuss the far reaching re sults to be. secured when the agree-, ment advances to the stage of formal consummation; for each favorable re sponsa is conditional on tbe favorable action of all the other parties, so that in each case the negotiations may be regarded as short of absolute finality. But while the departmeut is silent the details comes from sources Dsiievea to be fully conversant with' what has occurred. ' According to - this information, the British answer was the first to be submitted, and was exceptionally comprehensive and explicit in yielding to every suggestion made to th e United Stated relative to maintaining the freest entry to the ports of Cnina. The British answer is said to emphasize the concurrence with the United States by adopting, word for word, much of the phrase oloffv emnloved by Secretary Hay when he addressed his original note to Great-Britain and the other powers. The wording is such as to make plain that the British government concurs for the present and hereafter without limitation in a policy of free access to Unina. . Although much secresy was ob served in the transmission pf the British answer, its general purport soon became known at the other h.u ronean capitals and there was not a little irritation at what was regarded as a precipitate response, purposely desisrned to embarrass the continental powers by showing Great Britain and tbe United States to be acting in con cert, while the rest of the world held aloof. . But this situation was made much more satisfactory to the conti nentalj powers by their determination to act for themselves. Germany is said to have been the next power to answer in the affirms tive. According to the information already referred to. the German an swer was rather more vague than the one which had preceded it, but its gen eral tendency was favorable, the only condition being that any arrangement as to free access to Cbina should be universal, and assented to by all of the powers. The French answer is understood to have come next, and ' the circum stances attending it were rather pecu liar, and not in the nature ot a direct answer, although the result was re eardt-d as most satisfactory. Secretary Hay's "i note had been forwarded to General Horace Porter, the Uni ted States ambassador to France, who promrtly called ' upon- M Del casse. - minister of foreign affairs in the French cabinet.' General Por ter made known his mission, where' upon II. Delcasse showed the most sympathetic spirit, and stated that he si 1. 1 naa already mane ampie answer vo just such a communication, although. at the time, he had not intended it as an answer to the American note. This answer, M. Delcasse explained, was given in a speech made by him on November 24th in the French cham ber. The main point of that speech, ia its reference to China, was that France desired the most ample free dom or commerce, m. jjeicasse re ferred General Porter to this speech, and told mm that it fully gave assur ance which the United States desired, It is said that the meeting was gratify ing on .both sides and that the results were eonsiderd to be favorable to acceptance from France. The Russian negotiations have pro ceeded ! less briskly, so that it seemed for a time that Russia's attitude, might not be favorable. This was dissipated. however, by the Russian ambassador. Count Cassini,' in the course of inter views with Secretary Hay. On these occasions Count Cassini pointed out that a! hurried answer was by no means the best evidence of a favorable attitude toward the - American propo sition, but that Russia was proceed ing with due deliberation in order to arrive at some solid ground, for a per manent understanding. The Russians were desirous of weighing the many in cidental questions involved, such as the effect or the understanding o&tbe territory known as "spheres of influ ence," as well as on the territory actu ally leased to the foreign powers, such as Talien Wan, Kiao Chau and the British ; and French ports. Beside giving j these assurances. Count Cassini showed personally the most friendly spirit toward the American proposition, as well as being desirous of giving an answer in this case, which 'would: be another instance of the friendly co-operation long' ob served between Russia and tbe United States. The Russian position, it is understood, is similar to those preced ing it, with the same condition, that Russia alone shall not be bound, but that all of the interested countries shall join in the agreement to keep the porta of China forever open. In what order in the ' negotiations Japan's 'favorable attitude was made known j Cannot be stated, but it suf fices that Japan made her positio un mistakable in favor of the American proposition, with the same reservation as in all the other case, that unanimity should be reached. t Although Italy is yet to be heard from definitely, no doubt is entertained that this country will be favorable, thus making complete tbe satisfactory responses of all the great powers.
