THE TURN OF LIFE Is the most important period in a woman’s existence. Owing to modern methods of living, not one woman in a thousand approaches this perfectly natural change without experiencing a train of very annoying and sometimes painful symptoms. Those dreadful hot flashes, sending the blood surging to the heart until it seems ready to burst, and the faint feeling that follows, sometimes with chills, as if the mii : ing to stop for *■ gerous nervous hot flashes are _ nerves are crying out for assistance. The cry should be heeded in time. Lydia E. Pinkliam’s Vegetable Compound was prepared to meet the needs cf woman’s system at this trying period of her life. The Vegetable Compound is an invigorating strengthener of the female organism. It builds up the weakened nervous system and enables a woman to pass that grand change triumphantly. It docs not seem necessary for us to prove the honesty of our statements, but it is a pleasure to publish such grateful words as the following : “I.have been using Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound for some time during the change of life and it has been a saviour of life unto me. 1 can cheerfully recommend your medicine to all women, and I know it will give permanent relief. I would be glad to relate my experience to any sufferer.” — Mbs.

The King of Siam.

Cliulalongkorn, the King of Siam, is one of the most progressive monarefis in the orient. Unlike all of his predecessors, he does not believe in absurd adulation. No subject of his is permitted to bow the head to the ground whenever Chulalongkor* comes around. The king is now 44 years old aud has 153 children and wives ad libitum. He was selected by the “great council” to rule over Siam in 18G8, the

year of his father's death. As soon as he got into power this modern monarch began to make all kinds of reforms, many of which were curtailments of his own prerogatives. He asked his subjects to come up and shake hands with him like men. He proclaimed perfect religious liberty iu all the realm of Siam, and told the Christians that they would be protected In tlieir worship. lie partly abolished slavery, built railroads and telegraphs, Improved the rivers, opened schools, hospitals aud asylums and, In one word, tried to make Siam look like the nineteenth century after instead of the nineteenth century before Christ. lie plays billiards aud reads Shakspeare.

Current Condensations.

The Court of Appeals of New York has held iliat it was no ground for a new trial hecliuse jury in a murder case attended church on Sunday in custody of the Sheriff and heard a sermon on the prevalence of crime. Hobo is a common word among the Sioux or Dakota Indians. They use the word iu referring to young men who have nothing to do. An old chieS will correct, a sou for any such tendencies by saying: "You act like a hobo.” A French princess has placed a considerable sum at the disposal of the superior of the School of Sisters of St. Joseph in Athens to found a home in the island of Santorin for the children of Greek officers killed in the late war. The London Lancet says in an elaborate artLc’.e that there is an absolute pathological identity in the symptoms of alcoholism and the condition of one madly In love. In both cases, that high medical authority remarks, separation is a cure.

An order lias been issued by the India Government that no rifles sighted beyond 300 yards are to be shipped to India, and that rifles sighted above the maximum allowed will bo confiscated. This order has caused some consternation among Birmingham gunmakers. The Philadelphia school authorities tested the pile of coal delivered at one cf the schoolhouscs and found it thirteen tons short of the amount paid for. A similar shortage is reported at all the police stations ami is believed to exist at all the public schools in the city. M. Louis Geuarl, a lawyer of Nice, made au excursion toward the Italian frontier, near Broil, taking a camera with him. As nothing was heard of him inquiries were made and it has been ascertained that M. Genari was arrested by Italian carabineers, charged with being a spy. He is imprisoned at Genoa. Samuel Henry, an old colored man of Wilmington, Del., while iiuluig'ng in a hearty fit ol’ laughter over a story tohl him by a friend, dislocated bis jaw. Surgeon Hughes of tho police station fixed it up for him, and lie was so tickled over having it fixed that lie broke out in another hearty laugh and It was thrown out again. The surgeon fixed him up again and dismissed him. The managers are putting third-class dining cars ou some of the English railroads.

CABINET IS MADE UP.

SAGASTA’S AIDS IN THE SPANISH MINISTRY. One of Ita Members Discloses the Policy of the Liberals-Spain’s New Premier Credited with Threats Should Uncle Sam Make Demands. Bold Talk Is Indulged. The new Spanish ministry is constituted as follows: Senor Sagastn, President of the Council of Ministers. Senor Gullon, Minister of Foreign Affairs. Senor Groizard, Minister of Justice. General Correa, Minister of War. Admiral Bermejo, Minister of Marine, Senor Puigcerver, Minister of Finance. Senor Capdepon, Minister ol the Interior. Conut Xiguena, Minister of Public Works. Senor Moret, Minister for the Colonies. The ministers after an informal meeting proceeded to the pnlacc and took the oath of office. In Madrid the cabinet is regarded as fairly strong, although some disappointment is felt that Senor Gamazo, Senor Maura, Senor Armijo and others who had been looked upon as probable mem-

SENOR SEGASTA.

bers are not included. It is understood that Senor Maura, who was the author of the first Cuban bogie rule bill, felt that he could not act satisfactorily with Senor Moret, while Senor Gamazo, who is a relative of Senor Maura, feared that his presence might imply a leaning toward the Maura scheme of reforms. Consequently Senor Sagnsta was compelled to take less prominent men. At a cabinet council it was decided to appoint Senor Amos Salvador, minister of finance in the Sagnsta cabinet of 1895, director of the Bank of Spain. Count Romanones has been appointed Mayor of Madrid and Senor Aguilera prefect of police of that city. Bold Talk by a New Minister. A special dispatch from Madrid published in London gives the substance of an interview between a newspaper correspondent and an unnamed member of the new Spanish cabinet. The latter is quoted as saying that Senor Sagnsta will carry out the Cuban reforms proposed by Marshal Martinez Campos ten years ago. These include tho granting of autonomy to Cuba on condition that she shall take over the Cuban debt, including the yar debt, and accept Spain's customs tariff. Continuing, the new cabinet minister is said to have declared that Premier Sagasta would not consent to a customs union between the United States and Cuba, and that if the former were not satisfied Spain was prepared to fight, as the Spanish navy was regarded equal in strength to the navy of the United States. Further, if necessary, Spain, according to the cabinet minister, would have recourse to privateering. In conclusion the new minister is alleged to have said it was impossible that Spain would consent to recognize the insurgent debt, hut Premier Sagnsta would not prevent the new Cuban Government dealing with it.

HUNDRED HOMES BURN.

Five Hundred Unfortunate Persona Left AVithout Shelter. At Austin, Pa., fire broke out Monday afternoon at 2:43 in AVeed's Jivery barn in Turner street. In five hours’ time every building in town but five was burned to the ground. Turner street was the principal residence street of the town, and probably 500 people are homeless. The life was started by a load of hay being run into a gas jet. In all, about 100 buildings were burned, mostly residences, among the losses being the Methodist Church, Presbyterian Church, opera house, Welch's meat market, Hellwig's drug store, Gallup's livery and AVeed’s livery. The loss is placed by insurance experts at from $150,000 to $200,000. The town was practically without water supply, the mill pond on which it depended for water for lighting fires having been drained while undergoing repairs.

SIX KILLED AT A CROSSING.

Passenger Train Near AVillow Springs, Mo., Strikes a AVagon. A passenger train on the Kansas City, Fort Scott and Memphis Railway ran into a wagon containing seven persons at Dead Man’s cut, three miles north of Willow Springs, instantly killing six and fatally injuring the seventh. The Train was stopped and the remains of the dead and the injured were brought in. Conductor Hallaway says proper signals for crossings were given, but they were not heard. The crossing is considered one of the most dangerous in the country. The persons killed lived in Texas County, Mo., and were on their way to Arkansas to pick cotton.

A deal has been closed whereby Carnegie obtains control of the big Norrie Iron ore mine owned by the Metropolitan Iron and Land Company of Milwaukee.

The stomach that la not turned thna by a shaking up on the “briny wave” must be a well fortified one. The gastric apparatus can be rendered proof against sea sickness with that stomachic so popular among travelers by sea aud laud—Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters. It defends the system against malaria and rheumatism, and subdues liver complaint, constipation and dyspepsia.

We had a neighbor who suffered from a chronic skirt disease, eczema they called it. He was always taking soda baths with wheat bran in the water and fussing with cuticura soaps, ointments end resolvents. He used to be con-j atantly scratching whenever ho thought himself unobserved; sometimes his gYin ma red or raw and a little drop of water would exude in places now and, then. All at cncc I noticed that he had seemed to be free from the annoyance for semo time, and knowing that ho had battled with it persistently for two cr three years, I ashed him what remedy had finally brought about a result CO desirablo and ho told mo Itipans Tabules. “ But Eipans Tabules are merely a cure for indig stion! ” said L ••1 know that," ho answered, “ but the doctors all agree that eczema U 51 mi of tko ways that indigestion manifests itself.’* Our neighbor (Moody is his name) takes one Tabulo every night of his lift now, and if he has either indigestion cr eczema he does not know it It must be a decided relief to him to be aide to get along without so much! &[*** ***> pftdret etmtclataa ro wumTAma to tef
