BEAUTY IS POWER.

Perfection of Form, Feature, and Mind Bender Women All-powerful. [SPECIAL TO OUB LADT BBAEEBS.] Yet blended With those perfections must be perfect health. Women are to«;er in their better in re, truer in warmer in lions, than they ever were. But most women do not know themselves; and often when their lienee is dothe most od, break n. They t gradually d unconously into t tempestusea of voi's diseases, len they uld rememthat Lydia Pinkham's ;etableComnd restores ural chcerIncss, deiys despond-

ency, cures leucorrhoea, the great forerunner of serious womb trouble, relieves backache, strengthens the muscles of the womb, and restores It to its normal condition, regulates menstruations, removes inflammation, ulceration, and tumors of the womb, etc. It is a remedy of a woman for women. Millions of women owe the health they enjoy, and the influence they exert, to Mrs. Pinkham; and the success of her Vegetable Compound has never ’been equalled in the field of medicine for the relief and cure of all kinds of female complaints. So say the druggists. Here is another one of thousands who •peaks that others may know’ the truth:— “ For five years I suffered with falling of the womb, and all the dreadful aches and pains that accompany the disease. I tried several doctors and different medicines, until I lost all faith in everything. I had not tried your Compound. I

watched your advertisements from day to day, and each day became more hopeful. At last I re■olvcd to try It. I have taken ■even bottles, ■nd havegained forty pounds. My pains have all left me. and I am a well woman. I do all

my own work, and can walk two miles without feeling tired. Your Compound has been worth its weight In gold to me. I cannot praise it enough.” Matilda £unam, Columbia, Lancaster Co., Pa.

How the Elk Changes His Antlers. Those who take an Interest in the study of natural history may be pleased to know that the stag elk m-the-deer glen in the park undergoes a decided change at about this time of the year. He is shorn of the royal antlers that make him the pride of the glen. With the loss of the antlers the stag changes his disposition entirely and becomes as docile and tractable as a lamb. He will show an inclination to court public petting rather than avoid it. He will remain in this condition of temper until the beginning of March, when he will show a disposition to lurk in sequestered spots of the glen and timidly avoid the presence of all, even of his kind. During this period, on the spot where the late antlers were, a pair of protuberances will make their appearance covered with a soft, dark, velvety skin. These will attain a considerable growth in a few days. The carotid arteries of these protuberances will enlarge with them in order to supply a sufficiency of nourishment. When the new antlers have attained their full growth, which will be in ten weeks after the old ones have been shed, the bony rings at the base through which the antlers pass will begin to thicken, and gradually filling up will compass the blood vessels and ulttimately obliterate them. The velvety skin that surrounds the bone, being thus deprived of nourishment, will lose its vitality and will be rubbed off in shreds by the stag on the edges of rocks or other hard substances. As soon as the full size of the antler is attained the docile disposition of the elk will disappear, and he will become once more for the year the fierce king of the glen. The age of the elk, according to writers on natural history, is computed by the number of points on the antlers. At the present time he has six. The next set will bear seven, showing that seven summers have passed since the date of his birth.
