Westbrook, Me. — “I was passing through the Change of Life and had

testimonial. ” — Mrs. Lawrence Martin, 12 King St., Westbrook, Maine. Manston, Wis. — “At the Change of Life I suffered with pains in my back and loins until I could not stand. I also had night-sweats so that the sheets would be wet. I tried other medicine but got no relief. After taking one bottle of Lydia E. finkham's Vegetable Compound I began to improve and I continued its use for six months. The pains left me, the night-sweats and hot flashes grew less, and in one year I was a different woman. I know I have ta thank you for my continued good health ever since.” — Mrs. M. J. BROWNELL, Manston, Wis. The success of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound, made from roots and herbs, is unparalleled in such cases. If you want special advice write to Lydia E. Pinkliam Medicine Co. (confidential) Lynn, Mass. Y’our letter will be opened, read and answered by a woman, and held in strict confidence.

rrnmi FOX an INDIAN FfcSi PepwSaPjqn of PoouOar Creatures Matte ,TV«i CerdlKtly Disliked try Agriculturist*. Vmopko who hsvo Hyw* In India are familiar with the ions, strings of Hying fares which can often be scon wwndtng thoir way in single fUe from their sleeping places in remote trees to the trult gardens upon which they proy. These curious creatures sometlmae matisnre as much as four feet aerooK the wings, and have reddishbrown fur and mole colored wings.' AfCJr their nocturnal depredations tiis;) Ey away with the dawn to a treo in some Isolated place, and there rest during tile day, hanging head downward from the boughs In the manner of bats, clutching the branch with their feet. As the flying foxes gather on the tree selected there Is a tremendous commotion, for oach newcomer is vigorously driven off from ono place after another until he eventually manages to secure a perch for himself. Those on the tree meanwhile keep up an Incessant wrangling, each endeavoring to secure the highest and best place to rest on. Sometimes many hundreds of these destructive creatures may be seen hanging from the branches of a largo tree. When oppoi lur.lty offers they are often shot, and some of the natives consider their flesh a delicacy, though it hardly appeals to Europeans. When the foxes start their flight in the early hours of the morning they frequently swoop down into any water which is handy and when on the wing do not fly in flocks, but follow each other in single flie, flying with a peculiar, slow, measured sweep of the wing.—V.’lde World Magazine. PLACE OF TREE IN HISTORY Always tin Object of Veneration and Treasured From the Earliest Times. Jlcw truly the tree has been treasured in olden times! One has only to turn to the Old Testament to understand. Tho voice of God came to lios-s fior.i the burning bush; and David, when he inquired of the Lord, how and when ho should attack tho Philistines, was told, “Thus shult not gc up; but fetch a compass behind them, and come upon them over against tho mulberry trees. And let it be, when thou hcarost tho sound of a going in the tops of tho mulberry treas, that then thou shult bestir thyself; for then shall the Lord go out before thee, to smite tho hosts of the Philistines." To tho Jews, Uie willow was at one time an emblem of joy. At tho insti tution of the feast of the tabernacles, tho children of Israel received the command, ' Te' shall take you on tho first day tho boughs of goodly trees, j branches of palm tr.-es, and houghs of thick trees, and the willows of tuo brook." Much nearer, because associated with the holiday still to kind to our i children, arc the Druid festivals, the ! Christmas tree, the mistletoe. And' tho Druids not cniy worshiped the oak j tree, but made of it their temple of i justice where their courts of the peo- j plo were held. They seemed to feel j in its strength and permanence, its, beauty and kindness, a source of inspiration in dealing with tho care 3 of their people and in helping to dispense mercy and kindness. Ycur Children's Manners. Gome of the things we say against (ha immigrants sound very strange from American lips. We speak of the corruption of our children’s manners th;ougii contact with immigrant children in the public schools, when ail the world is scolding us for our children's rude deportment. Finer manners are grown on a tiny farm in Italy than in the roaring subways of New 'fork; and contrast our lunchcounter manners with the table manners of the Polish ghetto, where bread must no’; he touched with unwashed hands, where a pauso for prayer begins and ends each meal, and on festival occa ion 3 ptyenis and children jetn ia foik songs between courses! —Mary Antln in American Magazine. Shakespearian Tobacco. Regarding a reader's query on tho absence of reference to tobacco in Shakespeare's plays, I write to recall c::o indirect instanco. In “King Henry the Fourth" Hotspur, speaking of a ccr f a!u lord, says: “And 'twixt his £ng»r and his thumb is held a pouncet box, which ever and anon he gnvo his nose and took it away again. Who, 1 therewith angry, when it next came i there, took in snuff." I might venture a conjecture ihat there are not more ( instances because a majority of tho plays ware written In tobaccoless tiroes. As it was, Hotspur lived long 1 before tho discovery of tobacco or of snuff, or, indeed, of America.— I Letter in Now York World. ] 3 fnMcaron! as rood.

MANY'S INVASION OF MUM 1 ,! I j Never was a great war waged since newspaper? I>. gun that Is no concealed hi its operations from the public. The culling of the cable from ibis country to Germany and tho placulg of the wireless undir strict sur- , ve!llr.nci> of our federal officials, cut off all direct communications with Ormany, That, which remained with other countries was byway of England, and all of it bus to pass through the hands of tho c naor, France has a very rigid censorship and between it, and that In England practically no news of the military operations have come through except that which was acceptable to the enemies of Germany. Tho result hns been an avn- . lanche of one-sided reports of German defeats in the Initial engagements. , Nothing very reliable on the progress of the war is likely to come until after the first gts at battle has been fought nnd the military plans are thereby somewhat revealed. One feature of the German campaign, how- , ever, stands out fairly well defined. That is the invasion of Belgium. How I many German troops participated in the first assaults upon Liege cannot be told (Belgian reports placed the number at 120,000); but it is certain that this invasion Is an important part of tlie German scheme of operations or Germany would not have ta'en tho chance of driving both Belgium and England into tho coalition against her. The Chancellor of Germany. 1 indeed, in a speech before the Reichstag, August 4ih, emphasized the noet ssity of the Invasion of Luxember : and Belgium, saying; “He who is menaced as we are and is fighting for dear life must think only how to cut an opening and get through." BELGIUM'S HEROIC DEFENSE. Tho German Chancellor frankly admitted that this invasion was "against i the law of nations,” but excused it on the ground that it is a military noeessity. His avowed fear that France was about to, strike Germany through 1 Belgium and must be anticipated may be taken with a grain of salt in view of the assurances Riven by Fiance not only to Belgium but to her ’ own ally, England, as staled by Sir Edward Grey to the House of Com- ] mens. The more tho invasion of Belgium is considered, therefore, the more difficult it is to explain it on any other basis than that of its being ■ a vital part of the German plan of utack on Franre. As such it spems '' certain that the unexpected check given by the heroic Belgians must have materially deranged the Germai.program. With Russia gathering her forces on Germany’s eastern frontier, a short and swift campaign in France is more important now than it was in 1870. Tiie delay in Belgium may prove to lie the salvation of France. There is something ominous in the words of the Kaiser in a proclamation issu .! three days after the cheek administered to his forces at Liege. "To be o~ not to he,” so . ran the proclamation, “is the question for the empire which our fathers founded. To ho or not to be is the choice of the German power and German existence. Vve shall resist to the last breath of man and horse and I shall fight out the struggle even against a world of enemies.” It sounds s magnificent, this “against a world of enemies.” hut it indicates a lanientt able lack of diplomacy, and it sounds almost like the courage of dispair. The New York Staats-Zietung echoes the same note: "Against a world of jealous nations in arms Germany stands forth in the full panoply of war, with her hack to the wall, like Frederick the Great. Retreat is Imi possible. Forward or death. Every discussion of why or wherefore, of right or wrong, becomes silenced. mu3t he regarded, so long as this world [ is marsheied against this one nation of Germans and its only ally.” ' SERVIAN RED CROSS HELPING WOUNDED .
