WOMAN’S POWER.

whose ambition and magnetic influ ence “ r ge men to deeds w of grandeur and heroism, F Such women are all-power fuL Weakly*

W 7 r slck,y--mf / II ailing W I I • women Live little ambition; I I their own troubles oc- ' I cupy their thoughts, and

their one object is to get well. They have no confidence in them■elves, and only too often lose faith in their physicians. All irregularities, whites, bearingdown pains, nervousness, headache, backache, “ blues,” distaste for society, sounds in ears, palpitation, emaciation, heavy eyes, “all gone” feeling, dread of impending evil, sleeplessness, etc., should at once be removed and vigorous health assured. Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound has for twenty years saved women from all this. Hear this woman speak:— “I wish to publish what Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound and Sanative Wash have done for me. I had falling of the womb and leucorrhoea, and they have cured me of both. lam a well woman. I suffered dreadfully with such dragging pains in the lower part of the back and extending around the body, irritation of the bladder, pain when walking and painful menatruation ; I weakened terribly. I had been treated by three doctors without much help, and it only took five bottles of your Compound and three of Sanative Wash to cure me. I can recommend them to all women •uffering with complaints like these. Mrs. Vannatta, 3827 N. Bread St, Philadelphia, Pa.

Sweetness and Light. Put a pill in the pulpit if you -want practical preaching for the physical man ; then put the pill in th 9 pillory if it does not practise what it preaches. There’s a whole gospel in Ayer's Sugar Coated Pills; a “gospel of sweetness and light.” People used to value their physic, as they did their religion,—by its bitterness. The more bitter, the dose the better the dootor. We’ve got that. We take “sugar in ours”— gospel or physio—now-a-days. Isis possible to please and to purge at the same time.

To Prohft Footbinding.

Women’s craving for a small foot haa run mad in China, and they willingly submit themselves to tortures as horrible as any to which prisoners in the jails are subjected rather than be exposed to ridicule because their feet are large. Now the Custom is assailed from a powerful source—from a group of progressive scholars, which the Chinese people hold in the greatest revsrence. The anti-foot binding agitation, which is now spreading all over China, was recently started by a prominent member of the Chinese litteratl in Suifu, which is a great city of Szechuan. The leader of the movement is Chon, a literary graduate and a scholar of wealth and influence. While the literary examinations were being held at Suifu recently, every one was amazed

A CHINESE BELLE'S FOOT.

at the appearance of large posters on all the dead walls containing an appeal to educated Chinese to abandon the torture of their young daughters by footbinding. It contained many quotations from Confucius, but its main point was directed to the edict of Emperor Shun Cbih in 1662, pronouncing the binding of girls’ feet to be illegal. Chon declared that this edict had been obeyed for a time and then ignored. He describes the tortures which young Chinese girls of the better class are forced to endure, and the mißery and tears that are their portion for months and years. Even the worst convicts, he says, are never called upon to endure what a foolish custom Imposes upon the tender frame of young girls, who are beloved by their fathers. The deformity is produced in the feet of young Chinese girls by narrow cotton bandages about three yards long. These are applied when the girl is 6 years old. One end of the strip Is placed beneath the instep and then carried over the four small toes, drawing them down beneatn the foot. Another twist draws the heel and great toe nearer together, making an indentation beneath the sole. When all the cloth has been used the end Is Arm; ly sewed down and the feet are left for a w eek or two in that condition. Clean bandages are now and then put on, but the change has to be rapidly effected or blood begins to circulate in the benumbed feet and the agony becomes unbearable.

Saved by Its Song.

A little thistle bird in Monmouth, Me., owes its life to its perseverance and habit of singing while in trouble. A man In that village had heard the small songster’s persistent notes near his window for nearly a month, and at last called the attention of a friend, who makes a study of birds and their ways, to its song. This friend soon made the discovery that the bird was a prisoner to its nest. A ladder was brougth, and the bird and nest were taken down aud examined. One leg of tlie little sufferer had become ensnarled in the wool with which the nest was lined, and it was only after twenty minutes of painstaking effort with sharp instruments that the limb was losed from the snarl. This done, the spectators were surprised to see birdie fly away, apparently as well as though never tied to a near-by apple tree. The bird’s parents, or some other of Its feathered friends, had kept it supplied with food during its imprisonment.

THE INDIANA SOLONS

A* soon as the upper house got back into its own chamber after the joint aes sion had listened to Gov. Matthews' uae« sage Friday. Senator Shively of Rich mond introdueoo an anti-trust bill. The bill provides that any ctoipany or corporation which joins a trvst shall forfeit its right to do business in the State, and provides further that the officers of the company or eorjioration j >iniug a trust may be fined $590. The attorney general of the State is directed lo prosecute ai) companies or corporations that become members of trusts, aud as an incentive it is provided that he shall receive a fee of SSOO for every conviction. Prosecuting attorneys Hre also authorised to begin prosecutions. The House dil nothing except to adopt new rules, cue of which requires a two-thirds vote to appeal from the chair. Both houses adjourned until MouiL.y to await Gov. Mount’s iuaugural. Tuesday was given up to caucusing by both houses, no regular business being transacted, it wns definitely settled that O. W. Fairbanks should be sent to the Senate, but not before much feeling and a strong opposition bad developed. Th< minority strength was divided lietweei McKeen, Gen. Lew Wallace, and Judg Taylor. Tlie only measure of importance offere in the House Thursday moruing was bill by Uepresentative Nicholson, autlio of the temperance law of the last sessioi putting the holders of Government 1 cense6 on the same footing as saloonkeep ers and making them pay the same licens fee to the State. Since the Nicholson lau was passed many saloons have refused to take out licenses, but have run as quart shops. Tlie bill will drive them out of existence. In strange contrast with the introduction of tills measure in the House was the reception of each Senator by mail Thursday morning of a four-ounce bottle of whisky from a Terre Haute distilling firm. Some members, when it wns known what the packages contained, refused to take theirs from the postmaster of the Senate, and others jokingly alleged that they were disappointed in the amount and were waiting for larger bottles. The lower branch of the Legislature Monday, by unanimous vote, passed a concurrent resolution providing for an investigation of the Yaudalia Railroad Company. Speaker Pettit npiiointed as the members of the joint committee for the House Representatives Henderson. Sutton and Babcock. Under the provision of the resolution the investigating committee is to be composed of three Representatives, three Senators and the Attorney General of the State, who will be exofficio chairman of the committee. It is not the first time an Indiana Legislature has undertaken to inquire into tlie allegation that the railroad company owes the •chool fund of the State nearly $1,000,000, t.ut former investigations have been fruitless, because the investigators have been taken to Terre Haute and treated so hospitably by tlie railway interests that they were satisfied there was no indebtedness. Recently there has been n demand from all parts of the State that the company, which is now in tlie hands of a receiver, shall make good its obligation to the State. When the road wns incorporated in 1847 there was inserted in its charter a provision that a certain per cent of its earnings should be turned over into the school fund. It is charged that this provision has been ignored. Charles W. Fairbanks was elected United States Senator Tuesday to succeed Daniel W. Voorhees, whose term will empire March 4. It was the first time in sixteen years that the Republicans have been able to elect n Senator, and the occasion wns made one of rejoicing. Many representatives of the party from all over the State came in to witness the formality. The two houses voted separately. The vote was ns follows: Senate—Fairbanks, 38; Voorhees, 16; Templeton, 1. House—Fairbanks, 52; Voorhees, 42; Templeton, 5.

A Tremendous Journey.

An ordinary walk of au hour is equivilent to a journey of 1,000 miles just ,’s a beginning. The average person walks three miles an hour, according to reckoning, but when it is considered that tlie world is constantly turning on its axis, it Is apparent where the 1,000 miles come in. This is by no means ail. The earth makes a journey round tlie sun every year, and a long hut rapid trip it is. The distance of our planet from the sun is put In round numbers at 92,000,000 miles. This is the radius of the earth's orbit—half the diameter of the circle, as it is called. '1 he whole diameter is therefore 184,000,000 miles, and the circumference, being the diameter multiplied by 3.1416, is about 578,000,000. This amazing distance tlie earth travels in its yearly journey, and, dividing It by 365, we find the daily speed about 1,584,000 miles. Then, to get the distance you rode round the sun during your hour’s walk, divide again by 24, and the result is about 66,000 miles. This Is not the end of the hour’s trip, however. The sun, with its entire brood of planets, is moving In space at the rate of 166,000,000 miles in a year. This is at the rate of a little more than 454,000 miles a day, or 18,900 miles an hour. So, adding the three miles of leg travel to the hour’s axial movement of the earth, this to the earth's orbital journey, and this again to the earth’s excursion with the sun, and you find ■you have traveled in the hour 85,903 miles.—San Francisco Examiner.

This and That.

The first anthology was a collection of poems written by Archilochus and others. When a man starts out for blood he generally has to furnish it.—Milwaukee Journal. Our own actions are the accidents of fortune, that we sometimes place to the credit of luck or misfortune. “They quailed” was the way the Ash Grove, Mo., Commonwealth headed an item giving an account of a quail supper. The Bible societies of the world have printed the whole, or parts, of the Scripture in 412 different languages or dialects. A man should live with his superiors as he does with his fire; not too near, lest he burn; not too far off, lest he freeze. The first cargo of Hawaiian sugar ever lauded in Boston arrived there the other day. The cargo consisted of 48.315 sacks. A large proportion of the marine creatures found at a great depth in the colder parts of the ocean are of a red color. It has been judicially decided In Missouri that the courts must recognize a common-law widower the same as a common-law widow.

CHAS. W. FAIRBANKS.

SKETCH OF THE NOMINEE, FOR INDIANA'S SENATORSHIP. Universally Esteemed as an Abie Lawyer, Honest Politician and Upright Citizen -Like Many Other Public Men, He la a Native of Ohio, Our New Senator. Chas. W. Fairbanks, the twenty-eighth Senator elected from Indiana, will succeed Daniel W. Voorhees, who is now ending his fourth term. Mr. Fairbanks is universally esteemed in Indiana as an able lawyer, au honest politician and a citizen of sterling worth. He is a product of the farm and the university, the country and the city, the imr and, the forum. He was born ucar Unionville Center. 0.. and is now in his forty-fifth year. His father was a farmer, and young Fairbanks’ early days were spent in such agricultural employment as a farmer's son

SENATOR FAIRBANKS.

Is used to. It was not owing to the fuct that he loved the life of country less, but that he loved books more, that turned him toward the college, and when lie came out Of Wesleyan University in 1872 he was a bachplor of arts. His ambition led him toward the law, and to facilitate his studies in that profession he served as a newspaper man in Cleveland and Pittsburg. The Supreme Court of Ohio admitted him to the bar, following which the Cleveland Law School tendered him the degree of LL. H., which he declined. Iu 1874 Mr. Fairbanks removed to ludinnnpolis and has practiced luw in that city ever since. He associated himself with politics from the beginning of his career there, but it was not until 1888 that he assumed leadership. In that year he threw his weight to the late Judge Gresham as against ex-President Harrison. This was largely due to the warm personal friendship between them. It was at, this time that Mr. Fairbanks became a distinct power in Indiana politics. At Minneapolis Mr. Fairbanks stood firm for Gen. Harrison’s renomination. In 1888 Mr. Fairbanks foresaw the dangers ahead, and, believing that for four years at least his party would be in fbe minority in Indiuna, he gave up his entire attention to the matter of its organization. He gathered about him the young Republicans of the State. He presided at the State convention iu 181)2 and spoke for protection, reciprocity and an honest ballot. Indiana discovered a new orator and Mr. Fairbouks was in demand everywhere. In the campaign of 181)4 he was the acknowledged lender of the Republican party, and in the campaign just dosed he was iu the forefront of activity and did such work as won for him the reward which he is now about to receive. He will go into the Senate a friend of the administration. Ilis relations with President-elect McKinley are those of years of mutunl esteem and close friendship. He will, therefore, be in a degree representative alike of the administration, the State, his party and the people.

Mispiaced Eloquence.

He was a bright, dapper young lawyer, full of spirits, and possibly a little too smart. For some time the Judge of the District Court had been watting an opportunity to suppress a trifle of this smartness, as it became a bore when constantly opposed to his Honor’s long experience. The young lawyer jumped up to defend a case of stealing In which the accused had retained him. Unfortunately he had failed to thoroughly acquaint himself with tlie facts of the case, other than that his client had been arrested for stealing. “Your Honor,” he cried, “1 ask you does the prisoner look like a man that would steal? Does he look like a man that would suffer his honesty to be demeaned by appropriating another man’s gold? No! a thousand times No! He Is a patriotic citizen of the country, one of the proud upholders of our grand republic, and l say it is au outrage for the plaintiff to accuse such a gentleman of* theft. Think of his friends that will weep over his disgrace undeservedly thrust upon him. Think of the blight upon this man's existence. I say the accused is too manly, too generous, too noble a specimen of hum ” Smash! went the Judge’s gavel as he roared out, “Quit that! Young man, this is a case of hog-stealing!”—Har-per's Round Table.

Hard Work Will Tell.

One often envies greatness, overlooking the hardships and struggles passed through before the place of honor has been attained. When we read of the lives of distinguished men in any department, we find them almost always where they are through nard work. We hear constantly of the great amount of labor they could perform. Demosthenes, Julius Caesar, Henry IV. of France, Sir Isaac Newton, Washington. Napoleon, and many others, different as they were in their intellectual and,moral qualities, wore all renowned as hard workers. We read how many days they could support the fatigues of a march; how early they rose; how many hours they speut in the field, the cabinet, in the courtin short, how hard they worked.—Harper’s Round Table.

"The Old Yellow Almanac.”

When Ella Wheeler Wilcox wrote the poem haring for title the aame heading* as this article, she touched a chord that Tibrated in thousands of hearts. For Ayer’s Almanac, "The Old Yellow Almanac” of the poem, is intimately associated with the days and deeds of a large part of the world’s population. How large a part of the population this general statement may include can be gathered from the fact that the yearly issue of Ayer’s Almanac is from 17,000,000 to 25.000,000 copies. It is printed in twenty-eight editions and in some eighteen languages, including, besides Huglish. Spanish, Portuguese, Dutch, German, Swedish, Danish, Norwegian, Bohemian, Welch, Italian. French, etc. The old style almanac is looked upon by many as a relic of antiquity, especially the "patent medicine almanac,” whose jokes are the butt often of the very papers in whose columns they first appeared. But there are almanacs and almanacs. Ever since Dr. Ayer's Almanac has been put out it has employed as high a class of mathematical and astronomical talent as is available in the country. The result is that it stands on a par, in respect of the reliability of its data and the accuracy of its calculations, with the U. S. Nautical Almanac, and testimony to this fact is found year after year in the letters, referred to the almanac department of the company, front students and mathematicians in various parts of the world. In its permanence and reliability Ayer’s Almanac stauds as a very fitting type of the Ayer Remedies—indispensable in the family and reliable every day in the year. The 1897 edition of this useful almanac is now in course of distribution through the drnggists of the country.
