Things which they don't Understand.
Anybody who has led a domestic life knows how
common such things as the headache, and pains IN
the chest, are among the women who do the work
Often, and perhaps generally, the distresses ere
borne without much complaint, The women get
about, and the machinery of the house GOES on.
Beyond this, those eoarse-grained animsis whom
New England women call ''the men foks,n sell
dom look. So long as their wives or daughters are
not actually in bed under the doctors care, the
average thick skinned husband and father gives
the subject no attention At the same time the
poor household drudges-who deserve better
fate--creep around, broom or utensils in hand up
stairs, down stairs and out-of-doors, doing that
woman's work, which sis never done Losses Of
loved wives and fair girls-losses whose sudden
ness and unexpectedness astonish those wooden
pated husbands and fathers-fall, seemingly ont
of a clear sky, and form the logical sequel to the
story Of neglect
Now you men who stand at the heads of ten
thousand auch homes, allow us to drop word in
your receptive ears. If these women OF yours are
worth having they are worth saving. That back
ache, that pain in the chest What are they but
indicat Ons of some organic trouble of the kid

the application of BENSON'S CAPCINE PO-

The Pilgrimage to Mecca.

From the New orleans Times Democrat.
In view Of the fact that the French govern
ment is actually considering the expedieney
of jointly occupying the Holy City Of Mecca
with other civilized powers, in the hope Of so
controlling the yearly pilgrimages thither, as
to prevent the engendering and spread Of
cholera epidenics, it will be interesting TO
note few facts connected with this pilgrimage
which afford evidence OF how closely the
custom is connected with the very basis of
Moslem faith. This pilgrimage belongs to
the class Of Ferd or divine ordinances obliga-
tory upon every Mohammedan once during
life. None OF either sex are exempted,
unless by reason Of extraordinary pow
erty; even a blind man is bound IL ne
have means to hire a guide to take him to the
Kaaba. No woman is exempted unless she
cannot find a man to accompany her; but this
difficulty can always be obviated with the aid
Of money. Nevertheless the expenses Of the
pilgrimage is onsiderable-especially for
Mohammedans living in India, Central Asia
or other remote countries-ior each one must
take with him not only sufficient means for his
journey, but also something for charity; and
moreover he must before his departure leave
his family sufficient means for supper, during
an absence which sometimes, even in these
days Of steamers and railroads, lasts year.
And so heinous is II considered to neglect this
pilgrimage, that the Moslem doctors at one
time discussed the adSisability Of putting all
to death who RETAINED from performing il.
On the other hand, the Prophet has prom
ised the following heavenly graces to all who
piously make the journey:
"Whosoever entere'h Mecca shall depart
therefrom pure as a newborn child"
Zone prayer at Mecca is worth Ioo, 900
prayers uttered elsewhere"
"One day Of fast at Mecca shall be held
worth a fast Of 100, 600 days elsewhere"
Zone almsgiving at Mecca to the amount
Of but one dirhem shall be recorded in heaven
as equal to an aims Of LOG, 600 dirhems."
"And each single good action there per-
formed shall be held equal to Ioo, 600 good
deeds wrought elsewhere"
ale that shall endure the heat of Mecca, -
/ hell shall be removed from him to the dis
lance of 200 years journey; and heaven
brought nearer TO him by 400 years journey"
"1he Lord looks down once every night
upon the world the first city that lie sees
is Mecca, the first people lie beholds are
those who are praying therein"
"All who perform the Thawaf (the Three
Visits shall be delivered from the pains Of
| hell"

The Editors Trousers.

From the Century.
An editor in Chicago recently ordered a
pair Of trousers from the tailor. On trying
them on they proved to be several inches too
long. 1t being late on Saturday night, the
tailor's shop was closed, and the editor took
the trousers to his wife and asked her to cut
them off and hem them over. The good
lady, whose dinner had, perhaps, disagreed
with her, brusquely refused. The same re-
suit followed an application to the wife's sis
ter and the eldest daughter. But before bed
time the wife, relentipg, took the pants, and
cutting off six inches from the legs, hemmed
them up nicely and restored them to the
closet. Half an hour later her daughter, taken
with conjunction for the unhlial conduct,
took the trousers and, cutting off six inches,
hemmed and replaced them. Finally, the
sister-in-law felt the pangs Of conscience, and
she, too, performed an additional surgical
operation on the garment. When the editor
appeared at breakfast on Sunday the family
thought Highland chieftain had arrived.

The San Francisco Chronicle thinks we
must send to California, when we get sick, for
pure brandy. 1t says: "Nearly all the bran.
dies used in commerce are colored, which adj
mits the admixture of foreign Ingredients with
out detection. The pure brandies are pale in
hue, having no other color than that derived
from the wood OF the casks in which they are
kept. Were coloring matter entirely disused
it is obvious that the difficulties attending the
sophstication of liquors would be greatly in
creased. In the general deterioration Of
liquor and scarcity of pure stimulants, it is
evident that California is one of the few re-
gions of the world where unadulterated BRAN
dies must be looked for. Our native wines,
thanks to the intelligent influence OF the State
Viticultural society, are kept pure. Our BRAN
dies, though a small amount OF coloring matter
is used by some makers to give the hue
which most purchasers consider a test Of their
quality, have not been to any appreciable
extent adulterated."

From the Charlotte North Carolina Observer.
Whatever the feeling may have been in the
past, when the South was simply an agricultur-
al section, it is simply useless to longer deny
the fact that the protection policy has made no
little progress, and is now not only acquiesced
in, but warmly supported by many of our peo-
pie, and among them some of our most pro-
gressive and biggest.brained men. Every
shop and factory and mill and furnace built,
and every mine opened, but adds to the num-
Der of supporters Of his policy, who believe
that it will help TO build up these industries
and make them permanent success.
