HEALTH OF AMERICAN WOMEN.

Female Irregularities, weakness, uterine displace
nents, and all local uterine difficulties and constitu
tional troubles OF women are entirely cured by the
Grssfenberg Marshal's Uterine Ca.hOlicon.
In this connection. Miss Beecher, sister OF the
Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, in Letters TO the People
page 1913, says:
Il have nine sisters and sisters-in Law, and four
a iling. Amid the immense circle of my friends and
scquaintances, L cansot recall ten married ladies
born in this century and country, who are perfectly
healthy"
In cases, however. where the GrRfenberg Catholi-
con has been used, we must say that health has RAJ
idly taken the place Of disease. and ladies have be
come robust, strong, vigorous and healthy.
Mrs Gleason. Of Elmira. says: Beautiful indeed,
is the e~Onfding trusting nature Of woman, nut how
much does it need to be protected by a wstchfulness
that will lead her in time Of disease to appeal to a
medical adviser Of scientific education, moral worth
and purity Of character"
Ali these may be secured by addressing the cref-
enbsrg Company.
I am a Methodist clergyman. Ny heart has fairly
ached to witness the feeble heath OF women as 1
have ira Yeled my circuit preaching the gospel j
thank God, hsvever, that 1 have seen all these dis
eases give way to the Grefenberg AarShaI's Uterine
Csiholicon, wherever 1t has been used.

GAETA-Gaeta, the only spot left to
Francis H., in his hereditary kingdom, is
"A very strongly fortified place and will
give its besiegers no little trouble before
they can secure it. 1t stands on rocky
headand on the coast of the Mediterra-
mean Sea. Including its suburbs, it may
contain some fifteen thousand inhabitants.
Its works are irregular, owing to the ma
ture of the locality, but what they want in
the regularity of art they make up in
strength. On the land side, the narrow
approach is closed by strong batteries.
The Notifications rise one above the other
on terraces and fort commands the har-
Dor. Gaeta was hesieged by the French
in 1900. and by the Austrians in 1915.
Its strength will enable the person who
holds it, if he has troops enough, to pro-
tect the triangular district lying between
San Germano, Capula, and this point.
The whole Neapolitan kingdom of Fran
els, is narrowed down to this triangle and
this will not probably hold out long against
the Piedmontese forces. San Germano
and Capula are each about ten leagues
from Gaeta. The former is a strong place
The French fleet commands the harbor,
and will prevent any assistance to the be-
siegers OH that side. They have taken
this position, undoubtedly, to allow Fran
els way of escape, as that would not
commit Louis Napoleon, in the eyes of
monarchical Europe, as an encoarager OF
revolution.

Wandering up and down,
And driven from door to door,
A jest for every idle clown
And butt for every boor,

Go rustling by her side,
With frozen heart and curtained lace
And lip curled into pride.

so willing, and yet so weak

And q heavenly purpose fade,

William H. Weeks, of Sacramento, one
of the electors chosen in California, is a
man of immense abdominal pondersoity-
He tells good story about himself in con-
nection with his canvass of the State.
After toiling on slow motioned mule up
and down the difficult mountain road, he
stopped, weary and thirsty, at the cabin OF
a Chinese miner. John gave him drink
of water. While resting his corporality
and wishing to be sociable with his host
he remarked in the best Chinese he could
muster" Velly bad roods, John, too
muchee uppee and too muchee downee,
and too muchee steepe." John cast an
amazed glance out of his almond eyes, at
the exterior of his guests digestive APP
paratus, and bringing the finger points of
his two hands together, with his arms
forming capacious circle in his front, he
soberly replied" Too muchee guttee !"

the true ruby is one of the most valuable
and beautiful of the precious stones, there
are variety of minerals frequently class
ed under this name which differ essen

entail ruby is, in fact, red variety of the
sapphire. When perfect, its color is a
cochineal read, presenting a richness OF
hue the most exquisite and unrivaled ; It
is however, generally more or less pale.
