Why He Was Buttonless. -Boston Record. “Why, Johnnie,” said his teacher, “you ought not to come to school ■with every button off your coat. Does your mother know about it?” “Yes'm, she does.” said Jonnnie, “and she knows where they are, too.” “Why, where are they?” asked the teacher. “She cut ’em all off to sew on father's pants,” replied Johnnie, indignantly, “an’ she ain’t got any more.” A Man of War. Indianapolis Journal. “My muscle,” said the prizefighter, “is as hard as armor plate. I am a regular man of war.” “That armor plate notion is not a bad one,” said the man at a safe distance, “considering the blowhole that is in your face.” A Woman Shrinks from telling her physical troubles to men. During the past 20 years thousands of women IB ' -Ww throughout the world have written in 4P/I womanly confidence to Lydia P- Pinkham at G Lynn, Mass., and laid bare . the life of misery they endured. They wrote freely, knowing that their letters went straight to the hands of a woman, who not alone understood their sufferings, but whose heart was full of sympathy with them. The experience of thousands has proved how carefully their letters were studied, and how true and sure c?:ne the answer and helpfulness. And also that L.ydia F-.

MODERN MARTYRS.

“Stitch, Stitch, Stitch. Till the Eyes Grow Heavy and Dim.” The Bard Lot of Wumen Who Work—Dr. Talmage's Sermon. A dispatch from Brooklyn, June 3, says: The Rev. T. De Witt Talmage, who is now on bis round-the-world journey, has chosen as the subject for today “Martyrs of the Needle,” the-text being Matthew xix, 24, “It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle.” Whether this “eye of the needle” be the small gate at the side nf t-hs: -big entrance of the wall of the ancient city, as is generally interpreted, or the eye of a needle such as isnow handled in sewing a garment I do not say. In either case it would be a tight thing for a camel to go through the eye of a needle. But j there are whole caravans of fatigues and hardships going through the. eye of the sewing woman’s needle. There is no happiness in an idle woman. It may be with hand, it may be with brain, it may be with foot, but work she must or be wretched forever. The little girls of our families must be started with ; that idea. The curse 0f.,,0ur Ameri- ! can society is that young women are taught that the first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, tenth, fiftieth, thousandth thing in their life is to get somebody to take care of them. Instead of that, the first lesson should be how, under God, they max’ take case of themselves. The simple fact is that a majority of them do have to take care of them- I selves, and that, too, after having, through the false notions of their parents, wasted the years in which they ought to have learned how successfully to ~maintain themselves. We now and here declare the inhumanity, cruelty and outrage of that father and mother who pass their daughters into womanhood, having given them no facility for earning a livelihood. Mme de Staelsaid: “It is not these writings that I am proud of, but the fact that I have facility in ten occupations, in any one of which I could make a livelihood.” As far as I can understand, the line of responsibility lies between that which is useful and that which | is useless. If women do that which is of no value, their wprk is honorable. If they do practical work, it is dishonorable. That .our young women may escape the. censure of doing dishonorable work T shall particularize. You may knit a tidy for the back of an arm-chair, but by no means make the money wherewith to buy the chair. You may, with delicate brush, beautify a mantel ornament, but die rather than earn enough to buy a marble mantel. You may learn artistic music until you can sqaull Italian, but never sing “Ortonville” or “Old Hundred.” Do nothing practical, if you would, in the eyes of refined society, preserve your respectability. I scout these finical notions. I tell you no wbman, has a right to occupy a place in this world unless she pays a rent for it— In the course of a lifetime you consume whole harvests and droves of cattle, and every day you live breathe forty hogsheads of good pure air. You must by some kind of usefulness, pay for all this. Our race was the last thing created —the birds and fishes on the fourth day, the cattle and lizards on the fifth day and man on the sixth day. If geologists are right, the earth was a million of years in the possession of the insects, beasts and birds, before our race came upon it. In one sense we were innovators. The cattle, the lizards and the hawks had pre-emption right. The question is not what we are to do with the lizards and summer insects, but what the lizards and summer insects are to do with us. If we want a place in this world, we must earn it. The partridge makes its own nest before it occupies it. The lark, by its moVning song, earns its breakfast before it eats it. The Bible gives an intima-

tion that the first duty of an idler is to starve when it says if he ‘ will not work neither shall he eat. - ’ Idleness ruins the heelth and very soon nature says: ‘’This man has refused to pay his rent. Out with him!” ; Society is to be reconstructed on the subject of woman's toil. Avast majority of those who would have woman industrious shut her up to a few kinds of work. My judgment in this matter is that a woman has a right to do anything she can do well. There should be no department of merchandise, mechanism, art or science barred against her. If Miss Hosmer has, genius for sculpture, give her a chisel. If Rosa Bonheur has a fondness for delineating animals, let her make “The Horse Fair.” If Miss Mitchell will study astronomy, let her mount the sjarry ladder. If Lydia will be a merchant, let her sell purple. If Lucretia Mott will S reach the gospel, let her thrill with er womanly eloquence the Quaker meeting hduse.

But it is said that her nature is so delicate that she is unfitted for exhausting toil. I ask in the name of all past history what toil on earth is more severe, exhausting and tremendous than that toil of the needle, to which for ages she has been subjected? The batterinfir ram. the sword, the carbine, the battleax, have made no such havoc as the needle. I would that these living sepulchers in which women have for ages been buried imight be opened, and that some resurrection trumpet might bring up

these living corpses to the fresh air and sunlight. Go with me, and I will show you a woman who, by hardest toil, supports her children ; her drunken husband, her old father and mother, pays her rent, always has wholesome food on the table, and when she can ■ get some neighbor on the Sabbath to come in and take care of her family appears in church with hat and cloak that are far from indicating the toil to which she is subjected. Such a woman as that has body, and soul enough to fit her for any position. She could stand beside the majority of your salesmen and dispose of more goods. She could go in to your wheelwright shops and beat half your workmen at making carriages. We talk about woman as though we had resigned to her all the light work and ourselves had shouldered the heavier. But the day of judgment, which will reveal the sufferings of the stake and inquisition, will marshal before the throne of God and the hierarchs of heaven the martyrs of washtub and needle. To thousands of young women in our cities to-day there is only this altemative-“Starvation or dishonor. Many of the largest mercantile establishments of our cities are accessory to the abominations, and from their large establishments there are scores of souls being pitched off into death and their employers know it. Is there a God? Will there be a judgment? I tell you, if God rises up to redress woman’s wrongs,many of our large establishmentswill be swallowed up quicker than a South American earthquake ever took down a city. God will catch these oppressors between the two millstones of his wrath and grind them to powder! How are these evils to be eradicated? What have you to answer, you who sell coats and have shoes made and contract for the southern and western markets? What help is there, what panacea, what redemption? Some say, “Give women the ballot.” What effect such ballot might have on other questions I am not here to discuss,; but what would be the effect of female suffrage upon woman’s wages? I do not believe that woman will ever get justice by woman’s ballot. Indeed, women oppress women as much as men do. Do not women, as much as men, beat down to the lowest figure the woman who sews for them? Are not women as sharp as men on washerwomen and milliners and mantua makers? If a woman asks a dollar for her work, does not her female employer ask her if she will not take 90 cents? You say, “Only ten cents’ difference,” but that is sometimes the difference between heaven and hell. Women have often less commiseration for women than men. If a woman steps aside from the path of virtue, man may never. Woman will never get justice done her from woman’s ballot. Never will she get it from, man’s ballot. How, then? God will rise up for her. Poets are fond of talking about man as an oak, and woman the vine that climbs it, but I have seen many a tree fall that not only went down itself, but took all the vines with it. I can tell vou of something stronger than an oak for an ivy to climb on, and that is the throne of the great Jehovah. Single or affianced, that woman is strong who leans on God and does her best. The needle may break, the factory band may slip, the wages may fall, but over every good woman’s head there are spread the two great gentle, stupendous wings of the Almighty. Many of you will go single handed through life, and you will have to choose between two characters. Young woman, I am sure you will turn your back upon the useless,giggling, painted nonentity which society ignominiously acknowledges to be a woman and ask God to make you an humble, active, and earnest

Christian. The dying actress, whose life had been vicious, said: “The scene closes. Draw the curtain.” Generally the tragedv comes first and the farce afterward, but in her life it was first the farce of a useless life and then the tragedy of a wretched eternity. Compare the life and death of such a one with that of some Christian aunt that was once a blessing to your household. Ido not know that she was offered a hand in marriage. She lived single, that untremmeled she might be everybody’s blessing. Whenever the sick were to be visited or the poor to be provided with bread, she went with a blessing. She could pray, or sing “Rock of Ages” for any sick pauper who asked her. As she got older there were days when she was a little sharp but for the most part auntie was a sunbeam —just the one for Christmas eve. She knew better than any one else how to fix things. Her every prayer, as God heard it, was, full of everybody who had trouble. The brightest things in all the house drboped from her fingers. She had peculiar notions, but the grandest notion she ever had was to make you happy. She dressed wellauntie always dressed well-“-but her highest adornment was that of a meek and quiet spirit, which, in rhe sight of God, is of great price. When she died you all gathered lovingly about her, and as you carried her out to rest the Sunday-school class almost covered the coffin with japonicas, and the poor people stood at the end of the alley, with their aprons to their eyes, sobbing bitterly, and the man of the world said, with Solomon, “Her price was above rubies," and Jesus, as unto the maiden in Judaea, commanded, “I say unto thee, arise.’’

THE FAIR SEX.

DRESS REFORM. Whether the _ impetus given to physical culture and athletics generally is, as some assert, due to the interest in prize fighting and fighters, is a question not irnny province to discuss. If so, then the world will be indebted to the ex-champions and to the future champions for the good health of future generations. It is beginning the education of future grandsons that with their grandfathers in good earnest. If this is not. the cause, then the world must look further for its benefactors, but the result remains the same. “Know thyself” was said by a very wise man, but it has taken centuries to make the human race understand it. I heard a man say

A SENSIBLE WAIST.

the other day that he had no doubt that he could .have added a cubit to his stature had he known when he was growing what he knows now about physical development. However, it is not men, but women, who have profited most thereby. The movement toward dress reform is gradually gaining ground, and the small waists which were once considered such a mark of beauty are no longer admired. The corset has not yet been driven off the field, and probably will not be for many decades, but it has relaxed its grip on women’s vitals to an alarming degree. There are those who cling to old traditions sufficiently to resort to artifice and all manner of sham to produce the effect of a tiny waist, but this in woman’s province is considered notonly legitimate but the height of art. Other women prefer to revert to the original type as nearly as possible and try to follow the outlines of the natural human figure, than which artists say nothing bn earth is more perfect. In doing this it is impossible to preserve the old line of demarcation between waist and skirt, for this style is an artificial device; suited only to the corseted figure. A jacket something like that shown in the picture is well suited to a human figure in the native state. The jacket is made of bordered goods, with the edges turned together in the back and running into points at the bottom. The same edge trims the cape-like arrangement which falls over the shoulders. The dress here is made of embroidered wool goods, but it would be a very pretty way to make a bordered gingham.

TAFFETA PRINCESS GOWN. Having good reason to fear that John Simonson, prominent man of Oberlin, Kas., and her betrothed lover, is about to marry a Kansas country schoolmam, Miss Martin Morris, of Cleveland, 0,, has applied i'or an injunction, Her attorney advised her to bring an action for breach of promise, but she told him she wasn't after John’s money, she wanted John -himself. Savifian Beebe, of Salem, Conn., while recently spearing for eels, caught one which contained a gold chain bracelet that had been dropped overboard last July, by a young lady who was then a resident of Essex. She rewarded him with a twentydollar gold piece. Mrs. Eva Blackman, who is a member of the Police Board of Leavenworth, Kas., recently removed two policemen because they were bachelors, and appointed two married inen in their places. One of the appointees is her husband. Threee years ago Mrs. Mary Titus, of Williamsport, Pa., lost her voice, and continued speechless until the it her day. At a revival meeting, she suddenly arose and electrified the congregation by shouting, ‘Praise God, from whom all blessings flow.”

Frequent Onslaughts

On the delicate membrane of the bowels and stomach with drastic purgatives must have their natural consequence—to weaken and disable both organs. Nature exacts severe penalties for infj-ingpments of her laws, and there is no more glaring one than that which, consists in frequent and unnecessary posing with violent cathartics. This is, however, the course pursued by many unwise' people who seem to think that the bowels, unless constantly relaxed, are not in a healthy state. When a laxative is really needed, Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters is the safest and most thorough. It neither gripes hor operates violently or excessively. It invigorates the intestines and stomach, and arousesthe liver. Regularity and vigor are guarante«d« by its use. Sleep promoted, appetite restored, • are among its benign effects. A tendency to rheumatism and kidney trouble is nullified by, it and it completely eradicates malarial complaints. On washday paterfamilias feels that he is subject to wring rule.

SURPRISING FIGURES-

The Extent of Advertising Done by the Lydia E. Pinkham Medicine Company. Some idea of the importance of the Lydia E, Pinkham Medicine Co., at a Lynn enterprise, may be estimated by the amount of advertising which is placed by them in the leading newspapers of America. Advertising is In their line one of the surest gauges by which to judge the extent of their business. The newspaper advertising of this famous concern is all placed through the advertising agency of Petting!ll <fc Co., Boston, and the writer recently learned while in their offices that eight tons of electrotypes were shipped by them to the newspapers in one day, all of which were advertisements of the Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. Some idea of the extent ,of such advertising can be formed when one considers the fact that a 5-inch electrotype weighs but a few ounces, and that eight tons consists of 259.0 >0 ounces, or an amonnt sufficient to furnish all the leading publications of America with more than five electrotypes each. Asa Ljuyienterprlse the Pinkham Medicine Co. stands in the front rank.— (From the Lynn »Item.)
