Sometimes the menstrual flow is too much, or too

toms. Lcuccorrhua, or the "Whitcs," frequent

Falling OF the womb is an exceedingly common
complaint, giving much trouble and distress,
which, under ordinary treatment, is difficult to
cure.
Mysteries, Green Sickness, Irritability of the
womb and other serious and fatal complaints,

II Won't be a Coward"

II won't tell lie! won't he such u
cowardr said fine little fellow when
he had broken o statuctte of his fathers
in showing It TO his playmatcs, and they
were telling him how he could deceive
his father and escape scolding. He was
right; brave little boys tell the truth. So
was Charlie Mann, when small hoy, and
rewarded for It, rs the following story
will show:
A young offender. whose name was
Charley Mann, smashed large pane OF
glass In drug store, and ran away Mt
first, for he was slightly frightened; but
he quickly began TO think, .What am l
running for? 1t was IN accident; why
not turn about and tell the truth?'
No sooner thought than done. Charley
was u brave boy; he told the whole truth
how the ball with which he was playing
slipped out of his hand; how frightened
he WAS, how sorry, too, mt the mischief
done. and how willing to pay If he had
the money. zoe
Charley did not have the money, but ho
could work, and 10 work he went Mt once,
In tho very store where he had broken the
rinss. 1T took him n-long timo to pay for
tho large and expensive pane he had shat
tered, but when 1t was done, he had en-
dcared himself so much tn the storekeeper
by his fidelity and truthfulncss, that he
could not hear of his going away. and
Charley became his clcrk.--'Ah, what Il
lucky day 1t was when broke that win
dow he used to say. (.
No, Charley his mother would res
pond, what lucky day II was when you
were not afraid TO tell the truth"

but was unfortunately captured by n Brit
ish cruiser. and in :he year 1880 she was
purchased from the British government by
parties In Hull. She was then employed
in the wine trade. between Oporto and
Hull. In 1884 she WAS transformed into
n whalcr, and In this trade she WAS singu-
larly fortunate. In 1880 the Truelove
formed one of the fleet In Melville Bay.
when twenty staunch anil strong vessels
were totally lost and twelve others were
seriously damaged by the ice. The True

on tho surface and rest there until the
danger was past. This popularity was
duo to the rrinarkablc and almost unique
mo,lcl of the old ship, which modern
builders might. in some points. do well to
COPY. As late rs 1862 she was again
among the ice foes, rs tough MS ever,
while several ships around her were
wrecked, and on another occasion she lay
for six weeks upon the ice in Melville Bay.
This remarkable vessel has made eighty
voyages 10 Greenland and Davis Strait.
Since 1867 she has been employed in car
rying ice from Norway for the English
market. During the long career Of the
Truelove in the whaling business she has
carried oil from between throe or four
hundred whales. besides seals and other
products of the Arctic seas. The True

The late Hon. Nathan Hale, editor of
tho Boston Daily Advertiser, strongly In
sisted that news should DO news before
inscrsion In its columns. A hoax was
carefully guarded against, and "Mung''
news was an. abomination to him. If any
important intelligence arrived during the
day, It would appear, next morning, In
the Atlas. Post, and Courier, but the re-
spectacle Daily would wait until the day
after, rs II would TO exceedingly morti-
fying to It's cditort To STATE that he was
mis- taken in an announcement Of the day
previous. Hence arose tho saying,
among the newsmcn and reporters. that
the Daily Advertiser never heard OF any
thing. It'll the day after it happened,
Mr.. Hale and the late Hon. David Hen
shaw were cllow-sokliers during tho war
of 1925 with Great Britain, and be.
longed to the same military company, and
were present together at the battle OF
Plattsburg ON the nth of September,
1914. At tho close Of the war they be-
came separated. Mr.. Hale was Fed
eralist, and Mr.. Hcnshaw was u Demo
crat; Mr.. Halo was man witha large
family; Mr.. Hcnshaw WAS bachelor.
After q season, they became associated
upon tho first board Of directors OF the
Boston & Worcester Railroad, and were
appointfd snb- committee to attend to
a certain matter, and met Mt the point
designated for that purpose. Various
topics of conversation were. introduced,
and among them tho battle of Plattsburg.
Mr.. Hcnshaw stated that II occurred on
the llth of September, 1914.
"No." says Mr. Hale, lit WAS on the
10Th tho day after"
Mr.. Honshaw insisted that II was tho
1lth. and Mr.. Hale was equally positive
that IL wis tho 18th. After several con-
trndictions, MY. IIenshaw inquired of
Mr.. Hale, why he was so positive that 1t
was the I lth.
"Well." says Mr.. Hale, in his usual
slow and deliberate manner, 81 recol-
lect very distinctly that the hattie OF
PlattsbIrg occurred on the very same day
of the month, September IL, 1874, that
my eldest son was horn"
"Dcpend upon II" replied Mr.. Hen
shaw. ''that your eldest son was born the
day before, the llth, but your wife did
not tell you of It. till the next day! You
neeor did hear Of anything yet, till the
day after Il happened"

There Is MO delay ofbrcakfast for sleepy
