J If your nearest, best and most esteemed •eighl ors had written the following letters they could be no more worthy of your confidence than they now are, coming, as they io, from well known, intelligent and trustworthy citizens who, in their several neighborhoods, enjoy the fullest confidence and pepect of all ' Mrs. F. L. Inman, of Manton, Wexford po., Mich., whose portrait heads this article, writes as follows: “I began taking Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription about a year ego. For years I have suffered with falling and ulceration of the womb, but to-day, I am enjoying perfect health. I took four bottles of the ‘Prescription’ and two of Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery. Every lady suffering from female weakness should try the ‘Prescription’ and 'Golden Medical Discovery.’” Miss Mary J. Tanner, North Lawrence, St Lawrence Co., N. Y., writes: “I was ' lick for four years. For two years I could do no work. I had five different physicians, who pronounced my case a poor or impoverished condition or the blood, and uterine 4 trouble. I suffered a great deal with pain in both sides, and much tenderness on pressing ever the womb. I bloated at times in my bowels and limbs; was troubled with leusorrhea. I could not sleep, and was troubled with palpitation of the heart. Buffered a great deal of pain in my head, temples, lorehead and eyes. I had a troublesome sough, raised a great deal and at times experienced a good deal of pain in my chest and lungs. My voice at times was very weak, t suffered excruciating monthly, periodical muds. Since taking seven bottles of Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription some time ago, [ have enjoyed better health than I have for more than four years previously; in fact, fqr several months past I have been able to "work at sowing. I havo gained in weight thirty-nine pounds since taking your mediidnes; the soreness and pain have disappeared.” Yours truly, ■— fa™

Mrs. Alex. Robertson, of Half Rock, Mercer Co., Mo., writes: “ For twenty years. I suffered with womb disease and most of the time I was in constant pain which rendered life a great burden, I cannot express what I suffered. I had eight doctors and all the medicine I had from them failed—the one after the other. I was nervous, cold hands and feet, palpitation, headache, backache, constipation, leucorrhea ans no appetite, with bearing-down pains. 1 got so weak I could not walk around. I had to keep my bed, thinking I would never get any better. One day my husband got one of your little books ana read it to me. He said there was nothing doing me any good. I said I would try Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. I did try it. After the first few weeks my appetite was better ; I was able to sit up m bed. I wrote to the World’s Dispensary Medical Association, at Buffalo, N. Y., and described my case; they sent me a book on woman’s diseases. I read carefully and followed the directions as near as I could and took the medicine for two years. With the blessing of God and your medicines, 1 am entirely cured. That was three years ago.” Yours truly, "Favorite Prescription" is a positive cure for the most complicated and obstinate cases of leucorrhea, excessive flowing, painful menstruation, unnatural suppressions, and irregularities, prolapsus, or falling of the womb, weak back, “ female weakness,” anteversion, retroversion, bearing-down sensations, chronic congestion, inflammation and ulceration of the womb, inflammation, pain and tenderness in ovaries, accompanied with “ internal heat. ” The Book (168 pages, Illustrated) referred to above, is sent sealed secure from observation in plain envelops for ten cents in stamps, to pay postage.

THE FAIR SEX.

Lucy Platt Mitchell, whose engagement to Rutherford Platt Hayes, a son of the late Hayes, is announced, is a half sistei of the-wife of Gen. John M.Mitehell, of Columbus, Ohio, and of the wife of General Russell Hastings, of Minneapolis. Lady Henry Somers, during a recent trip of nine days, addressed over 22,000 people on intemperance, and had presented to her twenty-two public addresses.

An interesting bon mot by Mrs. Fred Grant was told by Fred Douglass the other day. At the Republican convention in Chicago in 1888 some delegate cast a solitary ballot for the negro politician. Mrs. Grant, who sat near him, turned and said: “You must be the dark horse of this convention, Mr. Douglass.” At Lommatzsch, Saxony, a woman of sixty-four has received ten blows with a stick by ordgr of the burgomaster, and in the presence of a doctor, for habitual drunkenness.

The proprietors of the Dundee Courier and the Dundee Weekly News, who last year sent twelve working men on a tour through America, are sending two young ladies on a tour round thb-world. The travelers—Miss F. Marie Imandt and Miss Bessie Maxwell —left Dundee last —week, and will across the continent to Brindisi. In addition to European countries, they will visit Egypt, Arabia, India, China, Japan, Canada and the United States. The object of their journey is to obtain full and accurate information as to woman's position in the world. The conditions of female labor will engage special attention, but all social or religious matters in which the sex are interested will come within the scope ol inquiry.

HIS FAVORITE ODOR.

Story of “Finlgan’s Wake*’ Newlj Told. Timothy Finigan, commonly called “Tim,” was an Irish gentleman of eccentricities; living on rue Walker. Hi< brogue was clean cut “melojtis,” and be followed the genteel occupation of hod-carrier. Though an odd fellow in many respects he didn’t belong to the order; nor was he a mason, although he was accustomed to 'tend one. He had often been urged to join a temperance society, but he preferred, he said, to take his drinks openly. Drink was his bane, however, It was a sort of heredity with him, several of his wife’s relatives and a neighbor or two having been carried off with it. Every morning before repairing to his place of business-on top of a ladder—he used to take a drop, little thinking it would finally result in a drop to much, as it did when he dropped'from the ladder. His skull was severly dislocated and he was picked up for dead. His friends carried him home, and preparations were made for celebrating his demise characteristic of his impetuous though warm hearted countrymen, and satisfactory to the corpse. Although enjoying that sleep from which there is said to be no “waking” everything that affection could suggest was prepared to wake Mr. Finigan. The friends of the deceased being informed of his promotion to another and better world, gathered in great numbers. Mrs. Finigan, though plunged into a wild abyss of grief, had the presence of mind to order on the collation, consisting chiefly of pipes and tobacco and the exhilarating punch. Biddy O’Brien, a wash-tub artist, struck with the fine appearance of the late Mr. Finigan, began to weep bitterly, and said that Timothy, consider-* ed as a corpse, lay over any dead man that lives, and she was ready to bet money on it. Then Judy Magee, moved by jealousy, requested Biddy to “hould yer gob,” which resulted in a discussion alike disgraceful to all parties. Missiles of all kinds were employed in iti__A table leg prostrated Mickey Mulroony, and a bQttle of pure malt whisky, intended for sickness only, which he in turn hurled at his assailant, landed on the bed and scattered its contents over poor Tim. The effect on the remains was magical. The nostrils were seen to twitch ns they inhaled the familiar odor, their the eyes opened and Timothy raised up in bed. He comprehended the! situation at a glance, and springing to the floor he seized a convenient shillalah, and laying about with it right and left he shouted: “Bad luck to yer sowls, d’ye think I’m dead?” Then the entire party united in the chorus he led: "Whack, hurrah, blood and oundst ye sowls ye. With the flure your trotters shake; Isn’t ft the thruth I’ve tould ye, Lots of fun at Finigan’s wake!”

A Small, Shrill Voice.

A curious incident occurred a few Sundays ago at old Trinity, says the N. Y. Star. The actors were two well-known and wealthy society ladies. It was at a morning service and the church was crowded. During the early part of the service—the psalter and responses—they had maintained nn attitude of rapt devotion, with profoundly solemn faces and bowed heads. The te deuni was arranged to a long and unusually elaborate musical accompaniment, and these ladies had remained seated. The lines “Let us never be confounded” were sung with a flourish and an operatic staccato which came to a sudden and pronounced close. The silence was heightened by the loud burst of harmony which had preceded. There was no gradual dying away, but a quick, petrifying stop. And in the solemn hush, came the words: “But. my dear, we fry ours in butter.” Mr. Dix raised his hand in a quick gesture of horror; an acolyte laughed aloud; the faces of the congregation variously expressed amusement, chagrin, and anger, and amidst the commotion which ensued the very charming Mrs. was borne, faint and sick, from the church.

KNOWLEDGE Brings comfort and improvement and tends to personal enjoyment when rightly used. The many, who live better than others and enjoy life more, with less expenditure, by more promptly adapting the world’s best products to the needs of physical being, will attest the value to health of the pure liquid laxative principles embraced in the remedy, Syrup of Figs. Its excellence is due to its presenting in the form most acceptable and pleasant to the tasto, the refreshing and truly beneficial properties of a perfect laxative ; effectually cleansing the system, dispelling colds, headaches and fevers ana permanently curing constipation. It has given satisfaction to millionsand met with the approval of the medical profession, because it acts on the Kidneys, Liver and Bowels without weakening them and it is perfectly free from every objectionable substance.

Housekeepers * ' •• • • - " 1 '•••,• . • ’ - ■ Should Remember. The Government Chemists, after having analyzed all the principal brands of baking powder in the market, in their reports placed the “Royal” at the head of the list for strength, purity and wholesomeness; and thousands of tests all over the country have further demonstrated the fact that its qualities are, in every respect, unrivaled. Avoid all baking powders sold with a gift or prize, or at a lower price than the Royal, as they invariably contain alum, lime or sulphuric acid, and render the food unwholesome.

A “Settler” for Mrs. X.

The other day we overheard a table conversation substantially like this: “What, dear, you haven’t heard about it?” • ‘No, dearie, not a word." “Why, you see, Mrs. X (a very prominent lady) tried to get Mrs. Z’s (another prominent lady) cook away from her, and actually went to Mrs. Z’s house when Mrs. Z was away and offered the cook more money.” “My, my! What did Mrs. Z do about it?” “Well, the next time they met at a state dinner Mrs. Z didn’t notice her. Some one who sat between them said: “ ‘Mrs. Z, you know Mrs. X, do you not?’ “ ‘N-n-no,’ said Mrs. Z, ‘I beiievo not. She sometimes calls on my cook, I understand, but I believe we do not exchange—those courtesies. Waiter, another of the breadsticks, please.’ ” Washington Post. .

Growing Popularity of the Oxford Sewing Machines. There Is nothing more truly a household treasure than a good sewing machine.
