DOMESTIC MARTYRS. Dots of women suffer constantly, and seldom utter complaint. Good men rarely know the pain endured by the women of their own household, or the efforts they make to appear cheerful and happy -when they ought to be in bed, their suffering is really so great. Our habits of life and dress tell •adly upon women's delicate organiza- fw tions. They W ought to Sv be told // ' / just where^2 <L I thedanger lies, for <paag!P”S^ \ their ' \ whole fu- 1 I jjHa ture rnayflH^Vr; > / isSL depend upon that ■ i i& \ II jfeAi knowledge, £BRj / / and how towga / / overcome it. w t /Z j There is no * | /// / need of our de- / I / scribing the ex- \ L V* perienccs of J ' 1 such women here, they are too well known by those who have suffered, but we will impress upon every one that these are the never-failing symptoms of serious womb trouble, and unless relieved at once, a life will be forfeited. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound never fails to relieve the distressing troubles above referred to ; it has held the faith cf the women of America for twenty years. It gives tone to the womb, strengthens the muscles, banishes backache and relieves all pains incident tc women's diseases.

In the normal condition (O) of things gray hairs belong to advanced age. 1^) They have no business whitening the head of ^7 man or woman, who has not begun to go down the slope of life. As a matter of fact, (Oj) the hair turns gray regardless of age, or of ©7 life’s seasons ; sometimes it is whitened by sickness, but more often from lack of care.

Mexico's Human Hearsca. The simplest ami yet most extraordk nary way of transporting a corpse to the grave Is that which prevails among the very’ poor In Mexico. In many Old World countries It has been the custom to carry the dead to burial on the shoulders of six or eight bearers. In the United States and modern Europe, where city streets are usually wide enough for wheeled vehicles, hearses are the rule. Along the banks of some of the Chinese rivers the coflin is carried to Its last resting place In a boat. Os all these customs, however, the one of slinging the coffin across the back of a single person is certainly without a parallel. When an Indian or very poor Mexican dies in Mexico, and his relatives are unable to pay for an undertaker and a funeral, one of the city cotlin-bearers is K' C jL i 1 1 sent for and the body placed in his curiously shaped box. A cord, which keeps from cutting Into his skin by padding ids neck and shoulders with rags, is fastened to the two lower legs of the box and keeps it in plai t* on his back. When lie stops for

a rest lie lets the cotiin stand on these legs, as shown in the picture. These coffin Iwarers are of the lowest and most wretched class, though their tatters often give them a picturesque appearance. A funeral In which one of these peons ■ officiates as hearse Is of the simplest | description. The male relatives of the | dead follow the coffin wilii a priest to J the public burial ground. Life means । so little to these people that, though I probably hardly conscious of the unclennneßs ami misery of tludr surI roundings, they do not lament much j for the friend or relative who Is taken j away. In times of plague, when cholera or l smallpox rages tn the squalid sections [of the town, the lot of a coffin I wuirer i is an extremely dangerous as well as i distasteful one. Tin* body, uscnily ■ wrappi'd only in a blanket, somedne - | naked, rattles round in the great yin st. ! the lid of wldch is held In place bv ■ rough, 111-titting hinges and a clumsy I catch. Whatever bacilli are floating [ about inside 1 have ample opportunity to I And their way out. An American recently traveling In Mexico stopped one of these coffin Isuirers and asked idmdn the best Spanish he could muster win re lie was going "After a girl who has died of small pox." he ansuert'd. "Have you ever had smallpox?" the American asked. The peon shook his head. "Then are you not afra.d of catching i it?" I The answer was the stolid "Quieti ' sabe?” with a shrug of the shoulders I “It’s all in the hands of the saints." i The Mexican Indians, like the Ori- n j ( tabs, are fatalists, and trouble them ■ . selves very little over the "God helps I | him who helps himself" prin iple If these coffin bean*!s are predt >tim d to spread contagion and death it doesn’t matter very much to them -certainly not enough to induce them to take san Itary precautions.

TO VOTE FOR SILVER. KENTUCKY DEMOCRATS ADOPT THE UNIT RULE. At the State Convention in LexingtoA White Metal Detecutes Ris*<lly Bin** Kepreaentativea Sent ta Chicago and Instruct for Blackburn for President Kentucky for Silver. Kentucky’s twenty six votes at the Democratic national convention will be solidly cast for free silver nnd for Senator Blackburn as the party’s presidential nominee, with "Silver Dick" Bland of Missouri as the probable second choice. These two facts were decided upon in the State convention at Lexington when the white metal delegates thus bound the delegation to Chicago with a unit rule. The silver men were so thoroughly seated ill the saddle of favor that they rode rough shod over the administration men. The only concession to the latter was abandonment of the plan to reject the two sound money national delegates chosen from the Fist-h or Louisville d.strict. Th!*> concession is only upon the surface, however, for the unit rule necessarily disfranchises them of the right to vote according to their convictions. The action taken had been long foreseen by political prophets. Radical silver men wanted the — — — — - - - W■‘x/ M X ATOP, m ACK nuns, committee on credentials to unseat enough delegates from the Louisville district to give the white meta! faction control there, but the adoption of the unit ruk rendered this unm ecssary Negator Bia kb im the present idol of Kentucky silver Democrats; F- Wat Hanbn. who ln»t SuLu lur ns the party gulx-rnatot ai ti m t., on a white ntetn. platform.

I’or fifteen years he was almost constantly before the public as deputy or as filling some function, under the patronage or necessity of some ministry. He was under secretary of the interior with Grevy, but resigmxl at one month's end. Later he was made a member of the tariff commission. In 1883 we find him minister of agriculture. Retiring in 1885 with Ferry’s cabinet, he went back to the chamber, and in 1888 he presided over that body. Since then he has been In the chamber at odd times, and has never been'out of the public eye. He is a sharp politician, a good statesman, and thoroughly understands the temper of his countrymen. The Pullman Palace Car Company filed with State Auditor Gilbert of Ohio its annual report for taxation under the special law. The whole mileage is put at 132.005, of which 2.737 is in Ohio. The tax is about SB,OOO. The report is filed under protest, but the company has made two annual payments under the law without taking it to the courts.

PUN AMONG THE HYENAS. There I 9 Occasional Sport Where the Youthful Whelps Are Kept. Since the little hyena up at Central 1 ark has grown to be agile and sure of Its underpinning, the mother hyena >as developed n playfulness that no one would expect of that somber and unlovely beast. In the morning, belore there is a crowd in the Hon-house, toother and babe play together someumes for the better p&rt of an hour, "he game Is catch, with intervals of Wrestling a variety of episodes not provided for in the rules of catcb-as-wtch-can. 1' un begins with a sudden assault of the cub on the high legs of the mother, ^he latter turns to punish the babe, and finds the youngster in the opposite corner of the cage. Then the mother rushes with head down at the cub, and the cub dodges so as to put the pole in the middle of the cage between himself and his mother. For a time the fun revolves about the pole, until peiliaps the mother seizes the cub by a leg or an ear. Then ensues a seuffie, and perhaps the youngster breaks loose and slips away between the mother's long fore logs. The mother, occasionally, however, gets a strong nip on the cub s flabby Jaw and holds him thus til! he whimpers. Sometimes, when he is particularly stolid, she drags Idm about the cage, the little spotted carcass motionless. ns If dead. The slightest squawk from the cub snakes the mother loose her hold, but the cub himself has no such mercy for the mother when lie has taken a firm hold of an car or a hind leg. There Is no doubting the affection of the mother or the playful temper of the cub. There Is a niischevious challenge In his eye when he sees his mother making ready for an attack, and a humorous triumph In his ugly little face when he Lus escaped her by some especially clever dodge or doubling.
