HEALTH OF AMEklCaN WOMEN.
Female irregularities. weakness, uterine dispace-
ments and all local uterine difficulties and cOnsti-
tutional troubles of women, are entirely cured by
the GRAFENBERG MARSHAL's UTERINE CATHoLI-
con.
In this connection, Miss Beecher' sister of the
Rev. Henry ard Beecher in letters to the people,
page 100, syys:I have nine sisters and sisters-n-
law. and fourteen female cousins, all married, and
all delicate and aling. Amid the immense circle
of my friends and acquaiutances cannot recall ten
married ladies in this century and country, who are
perfectly healthy" In cases, however, where the
Gracfcnberg Catholicon has been used, we must
say that health has rapidly taken the place of dis
ease and ladies have become robust strong Wig
OrUus and healthy.
Mrs. Gleason, of Elmira, says: beautiful in

but how much does It need to be protected by a

to appeal to medical adviser of scientific educa-
ton, moral worth and purity of character" AL
these may be secured BY addressing the Graefen-

gives me great pleasure to certify to the invari
able curative action of the Graefenberg Marshalls

The Mysterious Widow.

Years ago, before the province Of New
Brunswick wss the poFulous place il is now,
there stood or the sea. coast, several miles
from where the city of St. J9hn now stands,
a little struggling sortof village, composed
principally Of fshermen's cottages Little
better than hu,s they were; and rough un-
polished, but honest and hard working set
were their occupants. In winter, when the
snow was piled high, md the freezing winds
blew piercngly cold, the inhn btanIs OF NJ
met in some of the cottages, where with
dance end song, they beEuled The ev'nins
houra, rs happy ss though they knew no
thing o the bus,ling, busy world, shut out
by their native bills. And in summer, the
pleasant moonlight evenings were spent
in sailing over the bright waters of the bay,

ing in the ear of his ipsmorsta The cold, old

sea coat village for years end years, in the
same cplm monotoUous way; almost forgot
ten by the Inhabitants vas the fact, that
there existed any other world but the little
one in which they lived. Sometimes, it is
true, rumors would reach them Of the bold
manner in which the revenue WIS cheated
by the smugglers OF Esstport; but the hon.
eel fishermen, secure in their rock.bound re.
treat, cared little fer this. At length. how
ever, the inhabitants were aroused from
their stegnation by quite little romance, OF
which the following is q brief summary:
Standing on bleak, desolate sort Of EN-

the fishermen, who finding he could not re

broke, with dull, sulleD roar, the waves oi
the Bay Of Fundy; and oftentimea, in the
spring, the tides would rise so high, as to
entirely surround it, cutting it off like an
island from the mainland. The inhabitants
had very appropriately namsd II Bleak Point.

SPEED OF L1eHT-IMMENs1TY OF THE

rate Of a million miles minute, yet the
light from the nearest star requires ten
years to reach the earth, and HerschePs
telescope revealed stars two thousand three
hundred times further distant. The great
telescope of Lord Ross pursued these crea-
tions of God still deeper into space, and
having resolved the nebul@ ofthe milky way
into the stars, discovered their systems of
stars-beautiful diamond points glittering
through the black darkness beyond. When
he beheld this amazing abyss-whsn be

the first school was opened for forty female

schools for the same object we're organized

it was not until the year 1911 that there
