H ow Women May Keep Young The real secret of youthful features in women is regular menstruation. If there is an irregularity of any nature—if the menses be suppressed | or too scanty, too profuse or painful —the trouble will show in the face. ; The eyes will be encircled with black, the skin sallow; blotches and pimples will appear, and the sufferer, although young in years, will appear old in looks. The unfailing remedy is Brasfield’s Feral* Regulator It cures all ills of the womanly organs, Falling of the Womb, Leucorrhoea or Whites and Bearing-down Pains.

FOREIGN LANDS. STORY OF THE PEOPLE OF EUROPE, THEIR CUSTOMS AND MANNERS. Scenic Description of Athens. Patras and Other Cities of Greece, By Miss Hattie Studabaker. Athens. Greece. We are still in Athens but have said our farewells and leave early in the morning. The last two days we have been "going over" the classical ground again, and enjoying modern Athens. Modern Athens is beautifully built of marble —all glistening white marble. The houses have stone walls about them with beautiful wrought iron gates at the entrance. ines and blooming plants hang over the walls. The brilliant blossoms of the scarlet and purple “vongavilla” which we first saw at Malta, then in Egypt and now here again in great profusion, hang pendant from the balconies or mingle with the green vines on the walls. A glimpse through an open gateway showed a cool, green interior with pleasant walksand shady trees. The people we meet on the streets are clean, which is a contrast to what we have been seeing. But where did the ancient artists find their models? Either the race has deteriorated fearfully, or they had a few good models, took them as types of the race and held to that ideal ever after. We have seen but one individual who reminded us of types produced by the classical sculptors. That was a youth of sixteen, selling vegetables, whom we met in the street, and of whom we enquired our way. He courteously directed us. But that is no exception. The people are courteous to strangers. And the fact that one is an "Americano seems to entitle one to all their kind offices. Yes, they are polite, but they are not handsome. Their bodies are not well porportioned. The head and trunk are too large for the height, giving them a "dumpy” appearance sometimes. A few evenings ago a gentleman in our party, startled us at dinner, by saying that he had not seen a pretty woman in Athens, and the other gentlemen acquiesced. The ladies had not noticed particularly but were very sure they were mistaken. Since then we’ve been looking for pretty women and acknowledge they are scarce. We often say: ‘"There, there is a very pretty one!" But as shecomes nearer we smile and pass on, saying: "Whv does she disfigure herself that way.” For a thick coating of white powder mars her otherwise pretty face. There is no secret about the powder of the Athenian lieauty. It is like Mark Twain said about the people of Genoa years ago: "We were struck at the difference in the complexion of the men and women. The women are so fair and the men so dark.” The Athenian women have good features, beautiful eyes, dress well, and except for the powder, are quite attractive. The costume worn by men from the country looks odd. It consists of short, white cambric skirts, ending above the knees, vqry full, like a ballet dancer exactly; long white woolen hose, a white tunic and jacket of colored cloth. It is rather startling, when you, for the first time, see a man walking along the street arrayed like that. It is the ancient costume and is still worn by peasants in the rural districts. It is also the uniform worn by the members of the King's bodyguard. As they wear it, it is quite picturesque. Their white garments are spotless, their sandals, turned up at the toes, are ornamented with a red silk pompon, their jackets are scarlet and emboidered, and the jaunty caps of red and black have a long, heavy black silk tassel hanging from the crown. One afternoon while on the promenade near the Royal Palace, our carriage suddenly swerved to one side and stopped. Others did the same, leaving an open line between the carriages. Down this dashed a carriage and we hurriedly saw, on the box Ireside the coachman, a memlrer of the royal body guard, and in the carriage a beautiful woman and a handsome man dressed in uniform, while the carriage following bore two officers in uniform. It was the Crown Prince Constantine and his wife, with this modest retinue of one guard and two officers. Almost republican simplicitv. They graciously returned our salute as well as the greetings of the populace. Sunday morning a few of our party attended church at the Greek cathedral the royal family attends, but the majority preferred the service at the English Chapel. In the afternoon we took the tram car out to Phaeleaon, seven or eight miles. It was the ancient seaport of

Athens, but it is now a bathing place, and the summer residence of many Athenian citizens. Athens is six or seven miles from the sea, on a hill surrounded by a plain, the plain of Attica. Piraeus is the modern port. We crossed the | plain of Attica to reach Phaeleron. At j Phaeleron we left the car and walked j along the sea climbing high up on the ■ hills where we had a fine view. We walked several miles. In the harbor, a mile from shore, a large yacht was anchored. It belonged to some members of the royal family of Russia, who were paying a visit to their relatives, the royal family of Greece. A gayly caparisoned launch was waiting at the stairway at the dock to convey guests out to the yacht. A crimson carpet covered the "steps and stretched across the walk to the carriage side. A line of sailors from the yacht stood on either side waiting. As we reached the spot, instead of turning aside, I said to my friends: “For the jok? of the thing I am going to see what they will do. Then turning my head the other way, I slowly sauntered down the crimson pathway, across to the other side. But not a word was said. Such republican audacity struck them speechless. Going out in the car Mrs. A. and I had quite a misunderstanding with the conductor about our fare, owing to our unfamiliarity with the Greek money. Returning the other ladies became involved in the same difficulty, while the men of the party, instead ofi of coming to our assistance as they . should, laughed merrily over it and | tonight they are telling that we tried i to cheat the poor man out of part of | the fare. But our consciences acciuit j us. We were ignorant, not dishonest. I This morning Mrs. E. Jr. and I : climed to the top of Lycabettus Hill. It is near the city and as it is nine hundred and forty-eight feet high it is one of the first objects which attracts the attention. Most of the way there was a good road. Still there was a steep climb and it took the morning. The air was very clear and the view from the summit was worth the labor. Below us lay the city. Phaeleron, the sea, the island of Egina. the bay of Salamis. Pireaus and the road leading from there to Athens along which ran the famous long walls of the ancients, and the whole plain of Attica with the road leading off to Eleusisand Corinth, the mountain of Pentelicon from whose fine marble Parthenon is built, and the mountain of Hammettus, famous in ancient story for its honey. On the plain in different directions jfrom the city, we saw nine different bands of soldiers drilling—cavalry, artillery and infantry. It was not an indication of war but only their daily drill. On the summit of the hill is St. George's Chapel, belonging to the Greek church. We went in and found it was a bare room, with a shrine, about which were some very old pictures. After lunch Mrs. S. and I had a pleasant call on the American Consul. Mr. McGinley, presenting my letter of introduction. His office is at his house.and we met his neice also, Mrs. O'Neill. They live in a pleasant Greek house. The high stone wall shuts out the gaze of the passerby but we rang the bell, the gate was opened and we were admitted into a pretty yard with lawn, flowers and walks. The house was like a comfortable American home. They are from Wisconsin and we are the first Americans from the west they have seen in the year they have been in Athens. They seemed real glad to see us. When we mentioned the kindly feeling shown us because we were Americans, they said they had always found it so. That the summer before, during the Spanish-American war, both the Consul and the American Minister were beset by men who wished to enter the American army and navy, both officers | and privates. Even the best educated people could not understand that we needed no foreign aid and were incredulous when told of the resources at our command. And I have found every place where I have talked with intelligent foreigners, that they greatIv underestimate our resources, and have no conception of the enthusiam which swayed the country. During our call Mrs. S. had a little experience of her own with this depreciated Greek money. In the Greek currency is a small piece of paper money about the size of our old ten cent pieces. It is called a drachma, should be worth about twenty cents and five should make a dollar of our money, but a stranger hardly knows what it is worth. Mrs. S. wished to pay a S 2 fee for official services rendered "and handed the Consul a great roll of these bills saying: “I don’t understand this money. Take your pay out of this,” thinking such a roll amply sufficient. He counted the money and said: “It takes seven of these pieces to make a dollar and there are only eleven here.” She was astounded but joined with us in the merry langh at her expense. Later this afternoon Mrs. A.. Mrs. E. Jr. and I climbed to the Acropolis and spent three hours going over the ruins. We took our guide books and went carefully over each point and got it clearly fixed in our minds. We had been there with the guide before, but to return and carefully go over the ground is a splendid way to fix it permanently and clearly in the mind. We felt our" last afternoon was well spent. We had hoped to see the fashion and beauty of Athens at the opera, but it is near the close of the season and there has l?een but one opera given since we have been here. It I was set for Saturday night and we anticipated going, but when the time arrived, we found it postponed to Sunday night. As that did not accord with our Anglo-Saxon ideas of Sabbath keeping, we did not attend.

I I must mention the delicious honey we have been having with our breakfasts. I don't known whether the i "bees of Hymmettus" made it. but it I is surely better than one gets elsei where. At seven o’clock tomorrow morning | we leave for Corinth. We have met pleasant Americans who are living at this hotel and who are connected with the American college in Athens. Thev like the society here very much and say English is the language usually spoken in. the I best society. Mrs. S. was entertained at a reception given at the home of ' Prof. Richardson, an old friend from J Dartmouth College, and her stav has j been made very pleasant. Professor Richardson’s articles on the recent I excavations in Greece, now being pubj lished in the Century Magazine, are verv interesting. Patras, Greece. It was at an early hour we bade adieu to Athens. M e think now, not only of its ruins, but its remarkable recent growth also. The seat of government was transferred to Athens from Nauplia in 1834. At that time Athens had dwindled down to a poor village of about thr.ee hundred houses. Now it is a handsome town of about 84,000 inhabitants. We came bv train from Athens to Corinth. We passed through two small towns, and at the stations and in the fields, we saw the men standing about dressed in their white skirts. The shepherds in the fields often had a cloak, made from a sheep skin, over the shoulders. On the way we crossed the great Corinthian canal, which is cut through the solid rock, is several miles long, and wide and deep enough for large ships to pass. It cuts across the Isthmus of Corinth, giving a passage for ships from the Gulf of Egina to the Gulf of Corinth and shortening the route westward several hundred miles. At Corinth we left the train and drove to old Corinth, where St. Paul preached, several miles distant. It is all ruins now and none of those ruins are standing but three or fourcolumns from a temple of Apollo. Those were each composed of one great piece of marble. Our friends laughingly asked if those suited me, reminding me of my criticism of the columns of the temple of J upiter at Athens. And I still prefer the single block of marble. A voung American connected with the American college at Athens, happened to go out on the same train with us. He was directing the work of excavation at old Corinth and was very kind in showing us about and explaining everything. Just before we left he insisted on our tasting some native wine, just to see what'it was like. Then laughed merrily when we made wry faces and spit it "out. He said that the musty taste was due to the goat skin bottles in which it was preserved. That the natives are so accustomed tothemusty taste, they prefer it. and will not drink wine which lacks it.

It began to rain and we returned to Corinth where we had lunch and again took the train for Patras. But while at Corinth we bought vases, tear bottles and other pieces of pottery which we knew had been found in the ruins and were genuine antiquities. There is a small village at old Corinth but most of the site of the ancient city is covered with green fields of growing barley. About S3O an acre is paid for the ground which is chosen and bought for excavation, and one dollar of our money will hire three men to work for one day. The railroad station is a thriving modern town. All afternoon our ride lay through the Peleponnesus, along the Gulf of Corinth. High mountains led interest to the scenery. They came .very near the sea, sometimes, leaving only a narrow path for the railroad. The clouds hung low upon them, sometimes outlined against the dark rocks only a few hundred feet from us. In the valley there were many olive orchards and vineyards. “How are the mighty fallen” has been much in our thoughts today since our visit to old Corinth. We have mused over her history, the stirring events which have transpired within her walls, and the struggle of the early Christian church when planted there. St. Paul's letter to the Corinthians, brought to some one’s mind the story now going the rounds of the press (for the ludicrous often encroaches on the sublime) of the Turkish official who had not heard of St. Paul. A missionary society in Constantinople, quoted from St. Paul's Epistle to the Corinthians in one of their religious publications. The Censor of the press demanded of the unfortunate printer who this man Paul was, who uttered such insurrectionary language. Thinking the question not seriously meant, he laughingly answered, that he was a man who had been dead nearly two thousand years. The printer was thrown into prison where he remained for three days and was only released at the intervention of the foreign consul and others in high position who had heard of St. Paul’s death. News travels slow in these countries.

It was eight o’clock p. m. when we reached Patras. We have come to an hotel and will soon have dinner. Then we will go aboard our ship and sail for Italy once more. Hattie Studabaker.

That grievous wrongs have been committed, and grave errors allowed to exist without effort at correction, is evidenced by the speech, writings, and comments of eminent statesmen and jurists; congressmen and leading men of business; professors and clergymen in every state.

The situation is a deplorable one if not alarming; as is also our domestic affairs dominated by gigantic The evils are not of spontaneous growth: They are the result of years of labor and expenditure of millions of dollars! Beginning with the displacement of American silver tor English gold, the cunning of England’s diplomacy in shaping the des tiny of our Republic is apparent to any ordinary observer seeking the true inwardness of events. The Cincinnati Enquirer has fro quently called attention to each and every move as it was transpiring, ano during the campaign of 1900 present its readers with a truthful array of facts that will be extremelj interesting and startling. No fair-minded American, be he Republican, Democrat or of other political faith, can afford at this cntica time to ignore the truth.
