” I am so Glad you are well, Dear Sister.'

f This picture tells its own story of sisterly affection. The older girl, just budding into womanhood, has’buffered greatly with those irregularities and menstrual difficulties which sap the life of so many young women. Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound can always be relied upon to restore health to wiojnen who thus suffer. It is a sovereign cure for the worst forms of female complaints,—that bearing-down feeling, weak back, falling and displacement of the womb, inflammation of the ovaries, and all troubles of the uterus or womb. It dissolves and expels tumors from the uterus in the early stage of develop- , ment and checks any tendency to cancerous humors. It subdues excitability, nervous prostration, and tones up the entire female system. z Could anything prove more clearly the efficiency of Mrs, Pinkham 9 s Medicine than the following strong statement of Grace Stansbury 7 “ Dear Mrs. Pinkham :—I was a sufferer from female weakness for about a year and a half. I have tried doctors and patent medicines, but nothing helped me. I underwent the horrors of local treatment, but received no benefit. My ailment was pronounced, ulceration of the womb. r _.. - - ovaries, and the backache was dreadful. I had leucorrhoea in its worst form. Finally, I grew so weak I had to keep my bed. The pains were so hard as to almost cause spasms. When I could endure the pains no longer, I was given morphine. My mempry grew short and I gave up all hope of getting well. Thus I dragged along. To please my sister I wrote to Mrs. Pinkham for advice. Her answer came, but meantime I was taken worse and was under the doctor’s care for a while. “After reading Mrs, Pinkham’s letter, I concluded to try her medicine. After taking two bottles I felt much better; but after using six bottles I was cured. All of my friends think my cure almost miraculous. I thank you very much for your timely advice and wish you prosperity in your noble work, for surely it is a blessing to broken-down women. I have full and complete faith in the Lydia E. Pinkham Vegetable Compound.”— Grace B. Stansbvey, Herington, Kansas.

Securely Wedded to His Pipe.

As Is well known, Thomas Carlyle, the great. Scottish essayist and historian, was a slave to tobacco. In his home, his study or out of doors he was seldom seen without his pipe and he smoked the strongest tobacco he could procure. During a large part of his Life he was a sufferer from Insomnia and his friend,' Sir Charles Gavan Duffy, once suggested to him that one who suffered so much from sleeplessness and indigestion ought not to smoke so constantly. Carlyle replied that he had once given smoking for an entire Jear at the instance of a doctor, who assured him that hiu only ailment was too much tobacco. At the end of the year he was walking one. evening in the country, so weak that he was hardly able to crawl from tree to tree, when he suddenly determined that whatever was amiss with him ‘that fellow at least did not understand it,” and he returned to tobacco and smoked afterward without let or hindrance. In his latter days he used a clay pipe made In Dublin and known as the “Repeal” He was unable to renew the supply and Sir Charles Duffy assured him that these pipes Were strictly reserved for true Isillevers in Irish nationality and promised him a supply if he qualified in the ordinary manner. Carlyle never qualified.

Hindoo Mail Carrying.

The postal service In India extends as far north as Kolghur, a village of the Himalayas. Beyond this point a letter Is sent by a native runner, who carries for days In the split end of a stick, and delivers It at the end of his Journey as clean as. when he received it.

Death and Birth Rate.

It 1b computed that the death rate of the world Is 67 and the birth rate 70 a minute, and this seemingly light percentage of gain Is sufficient to give a net increase In population each year of almost 1,200,000 souls. Too many people retreating from a bad cause burn their Wdges, in front of them.

Wonderful Pendulum.

. If you fill a wine glass with water and place a thick piece of paper over it so no air can get in, you will find that you caii turn the glass upside down without spilling a drop of water, because the pressure of the ait on the outside will keep the paper from falling off. It is on thjs principle that the present pendulum is to be luade. lake a piece of cardboard larger than the mouth of the glass; pass a cord through a small hole in the center of the card, and fasten It-bV means of a knot on the, under side, then carefully cover the hole with wax, so that no air may get in. Flace your cardboard over the glass full of water, and by making a loop In the end of the cord, you ean hang the glass from a hook in the ceiling without any fear of its falling off. In older to make sure that no air can get into the glass, it Is wise to smear the rim with tallow before laying the cardboard on.

Ancient and Modern Proverbs.

“He who knows not, and knows not that he knows not, is a fool; avoid him. “He who knows not, and knows that he knows not, is simple; teach him. “He who knows and knows not that he knows, is asleep, wake him. “But he who knows and knows that he knows, is a wise man: follow him.’’ —From the Arabian Proverbs. “He who travels by the New York Central knows that he rides over smooth and level tracks, in luxurious trains, at great speed, through the mftst delightful country, and at a cost of but two cents per mile. This man is of sound judgment. Follow his example, and you will be happy.”—An American Proverb. —From the Brooklyn Standard Union.

Newfoundland’s Wealth of Iron Ore.

What the gold reefs of Johannesburg are to the Transvaal, the Wabana iron beds are. to Newfoundland. They form immense deposits of rich, red hematite ore, three miles long, and several hundred feet wide, and showing 34,000,000 tons in sight above the water. The beds dip downward at an angle of eight degrees, and it is believed that they extend below r the sea in practically unlimitedquantity, though what is now in sight will suffice for a generation’s work. To all Intents purposes the miue is open quarry. The ore is got at by chopping off a surface covering of &arth and rock, and then loosening the hematite with charges of dynamite.

What Do the Children Drink?

Don’t give them tea or coffee. Have you tried the new food drink called GBAIN-O? It is delicious and nourishing and takes the place of coffee.

Grain-O'is made of pure grains, and when properly prepared tastes lik4 the choice grades of coffee, but costs about % as much. All grocers sell it. 15c and 25c.

Sports in Early Days.

Athletic sports and open-air amusements generally may be said to have been more popular in 1800 than they are now. Thomas Jefferson boxed and fenced, and George Washington, who all but saw the nineteenth century open, could jump further and throw a stone a greater distance than any other man In Virginia. Fox-hunting, gunning and all such sports were more commonly indulged in then than to-day. Every gentleman rode horseback, as a matter of course. His spurs, like those of the old-time knight, were the badge of his rank, and he did not drive in a carriage until he was too old to mount a horse.

A NURSE’S STORY.

A Graduate of Lakeside Hospital Lake Geneva, X el l g an Interesting Experience. PESHTIGO, Wls„ Jan.2B,lH3l.—(Special.)—One of the most popular nurses that ever graduated from the Lakeside Hospital, Lake Geneva, is Miss Lillian Dreese, of this place. Miss Dreese is the Vice Templar of the Independent Order of Good Templars, and Organist of the Rebeccas of Peshtigo. During her twelve years’ experience as a trained nurse, she has had many opportunities for observation, and her opinion in all medical health matters is held in very high esteem by the thousands who have learned to know and love her. in speaking of her experience she says: “During my twelve years as a trained nurse, I have often observed how many different physicians give their patients Dodd’s Kidney Pills in cases of Diabetes and Kidney Trouble. About three years ago, I myself suffered some months with a weakness and continual congested condition, and I decided to try what the Pills would do for me. I soon found that they built up the affected parts, and restored harmony to the entire system, and although I often lose much sleep and rest while attending severe cases, I find that I was never in finer health nor had more endurance than since I have used these marvelous Pills.” Clergymen say they are good. Senators and Congressmen have added their evidence as to the wonderful curative properties of this Medicine, hundreds of physicians recommend them and use them in their daily practice. The most skilled trained nurses advise their use and use them themselves, while tens of thousands of sick and suffering people are being, cured every day by Dodd’s Kidney Pills. They should cure you. They will cure you. Try them.
