Trench cron* Cape Cod. Kotxxly known bow many vessel* lave been wrecked on Cape Cod since the bleak December day when the Mayflower rounded Race Point and sought shelter in what is now the harbor of !Prov|ncetown. The number is very great, however, and the loss of life on this most dangerous part of the whole Jfew England coast has been something appafling. A list, admitted to be incomplete, of the wrecks since 1873 shows that tol vessels, including three steamers, have gone to pieces on the pitiless oandl of the cape and had not the waves always hastened to remove the evidences of their work the shore all the way from Chatham, at the elbow of Massachusetts’!; arm, to the crook of her bent hand [would be piled high with the ribs and planking of shattered vessels. A large! proportion of the cape’s victims are cjbasting schooners, with only an occasional bark or brig. These disasters, therefore, rarely attract much attention, but they are tragical none the less, pnd almost every storm adds to the number of dreadful stories which the lighthouse-keepers ami members of the life-saving service have to tell.— N.

WOMEN AND THE WHEEL. From the Gazette, Delaware, Ohio. He healthfullness of bicycle riding for women is still a disputed Question between eminent physicians and health reformers. Used in moderation it surely creates for women a means of out-door exercise, the benefit of which all physicians concede. Used to excess, like any other pastime, its effect is likely to be dangerous. The experience of Miss Bertha Reed, the seventeen-year-old daughter of Mr. J. R. Reed, 335 Lake St., Delaware. Ohio, may Eint a moral for parents who, like Mr. and rs. Reed, have experienced some concern for their daughters who are fond of wheeling. In the fall of '96 Miss Bertha, who had riaden a great deal, began to fail in an alarming manner. She grew steadily paler and thinner, and it appeared she was going into consumption. Rest and quiet did her absoQ A lutely no good.

\ A physician found her pulse at 104—a very high rate. Thinking this may have been due to temporary nervous

ness when he She Bidet Well, examined her, he wa tched her closely, but her pulse continued at that rate for two weeks. He was satisfied then, from her high pulse and steadily wasting condition that she was suffering from anaemia or a bloodless condition of the body. She became extremely weak, and could not stand the least noise or excitement. In this condition of affairs they were recommended by an old friend to get some of that famous blood Jit. Wil medicine Hr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People. They did so. and almost from the first dose Bertha began to improve. She continued to take the pills afid was by means of those pills made entirely well, and more grateful people than her parents cannot be found in the whole State of Ohio. Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills have proved a boon to womankind. Acting directly on the blood and nerves, they restore the requisite vitality to all parts of the body; creating functional regularity and perfect harmony throughout the nervous system. The pallor of the cheeks is changed to the delicate blush of health r the eye* brighten; the musics grow elastic, ambition is created and good health returns. She Wasted All the Days. There is always a bountiful crop of stories concerning, the uoings of congressional women, new congressional women, at this season of the year. Most of the tales are apochryphal,' but this one is perfectly true, for the stationer himself told me about it. The woman is the wife of a member from somewhere in the west, and she had never l*een in Washington till a fortnight ago. She went to a stationer’s to order visiting cards. . “What, day do you wish engraved on them?’’asked the clerk. tj "Oh,” answered Mrs. Congressman. "I ve got to have several days. I can’t make all inv calls in one day. Kngrnve me some cards for Monday calls, and some for Tuesday, and—well, it's going to be expensive, but I guess I’ve got to do it. Make me‘some for every day in the week except Sunday.”— Washington Post. Reports of Delegates Who Have Visited Western Canada.

- The following lett e r s have been serfij lected from Spa large ■ number of

L jthose sent Western Michigan, on by delegates to report Canada to their friends in and as a result of which hundreds of people expect to leave this spring for the Free Grant Lands of Western Canida. Winnipeg, Man., Sept. 10, 1897. Mr. M- V. MtTnnes, Chief Colonization Agent, Detroit, Mich. I)car Sir: We are pleased to state to you that we have found the country in the Vicinity of Ahmeda fully up to what you and Mr. Keller iia<l represented it to be. It is tn fact an ideal location for mixed firming. The soil is the best we ever saw, and as the farmers were all busy at threshing, we had an excellent chance to see its productive quality, which cannot be surpassed anywhere. The cattle could not be in better condition. We saw two-year-old steers equal to three-year-olds raised in most places, and these, as all others are about Alameda, were fed on native hay in winter and herded in summer v As we had previous to this visited the Northwestern Mates in behalf of a large.number of farmers, to locate suitable land for'mixed farming, we are now in a position to sat’ that {be Alameda district of Western Canada surpasses them all. The country is equal to that about Thuringen in Germany. We were rather skeptic oefore starting, and our intention was to settle in spring, if we were suited, but -we have now decided to move at once—that is. as early this fall as we possibly can. We left Mr. Riedel at Alameda, and take back hi« report, and we will take his family and effects with us when we go. Yours sincerely, (Signed! ALBERT MAI. FRED GOTTOWSKI. • Alameda, N. W. T., Aug. 31,1397. Dear Friends of Saginaw: Those desiring to secure a good and sure home will do well to take our advice and examine the land in the neighborhood of Alameda, as we know that everyone who sees this land will be agreeably surprised. Before seeing this land we were partly in doubt as to moving here, but after looking it over we at cnee decided to make our home here, and we beg those of our friends who are desirous of securing farms not to let this chance slip by, as the soil is of the best and the water cannot be excelled. The finest wheat we ever saw is also raised here. We shall return home in haste, straighten out our affairs and move here at once. Yours truly, (Signed) WILLIAM GOTTOWSKI, ALBERT MAI, WILLIAM RIEDEL. (of Saginaw.)

I Ludington, Mich.. Nov. 1, 1897. M. V. Mclnnes, Esq., Colonization Agent, Detroit. Mich. Dear Sir: We have justjreturned from the West, and were exceedingly well pleaacd with the counter. We are going back to take up our homecteads in early spring. We received $35.00 per month and l>oara* working for farmers, and the board waa [ the beat we ever had—the beef and mutton especially were excellent. The fine flavor is owing to the fine grasses which the cattle | and sheep feed upon. The people are very hospitable and treat their hired help with much kindness. The grain is much heavier than here, : wheat being 62 lbs. to the bushel, oats 4$ : lbs. and barley often 55 lbs. Any man with a good team and money ' enough to buy .provisions and *e**d for six months can become rich there in five year*. \ Many people who arrived there five years : ago with fit tie or nothing are well off novr. : One man s met held his wheat from last year and whs offered SI0.0(0 for this year’s crop and wfcat he had held over from last vear, and upholding it at $1.00 per bushel. We are going back in the spring to work for this same farmer until seeding, after which we will homestead between seeding and : harvest. We think-we wi!! settle on the Manitoba k Northwestern R. R. You can refer anyone to us for this part of the country while are are here and we will cheerfully answer any questions which anyone may wish to ask. Yours truly. (Signed) CHAS. HAWtJEY,

Beware of Ointments for Catarrh That Contain Mercury, as mercury will surely destroy the sense of smell and completely derange the whole system when entering it through the mucous surfaces.

Hopeful Words^to Childless Women. The darkest days of husband and wife are when they come to look forward to a childless and desolate old age. jSh.

Many a wife has found herself incapable of motherhood owing to some great lack of strength in the organs of generation. Such a condition is nearly always due to long continued neglect of the plainest warnings. Frequent backache and distressing pains accompanied by offensive discharges and generally by irregular and scanty menstruation, indicate a nerve degeneration of the womb and surrounding organs, that unless speedily checked will result in barrenness. Read Mrs. Wilson’s letter: DeabMrs. Ptskham:—No one could have suffered from female troubles more than I. I had tumors on the womb, my ovaries were diseased, and for fifteen years I was a burden to myself. I was operated upon three different times, with only temporary relief; also tried many doctors. Lydia E. Finkham's Vegetable Compound was recommended to me by a lady friend, and after taking four bottles I was like a new woman. I had been married nine years, and had no children. I now have a beautiful little girl, and we

leel assured she is the result ox my taking the til////* / 1 Compound.—May B. Wilson, 323 Sassafras (I (lj[ * St., Millville, N. J. Modern science and past experience have produced nothing so effective in treating diseases of the female organs as Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound and Sanative Wash used according to special directions. If you know any woman who is suffering and who is unable to secure relief, or who is sorrowful because she believes herself barren, tell her to write to Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass., and ask her advice. The thousands of Mrs. Pinkham's cures are all recorded for quick reference, and a reply will be promptly sent wholly without charge, that will direct'her what to do. " % . Mrs. B.

Hard facts for women who wash. No work you do is so unhealthful as your work over a washtub. This hard, perspiring work in the midst of soiled clothes and tainted steam will make trouble for you. The less of it you do, the better. Wash with Pearline, and there’s little or none of it. Nothing but rinsing the clothes, after soaking and boiling them. Consider your health. 583
