"WOman's Realm"

In intellectual life there is no sex.
A woman is the greatest success as a
woman.
Fault finding, like charity, should begin
at home.
What blessing that women are not
expected to do what men do.
Men must always lead physically. but
women must and do lead morally.
Wife and motherhood bring many
cares. but they also have their blessings.
If women are ignorant and full of wrong
conceptions, it is their own fault.
The physical beauty of the face and fig
ure bespeaks the energy OF increasing
civilization.
Mere physical beauty soon fades, but
there are years to develop intellectual
beauty.
/ Many of the fancied ills of womankind
may be traced to a lack of both moral and
physical energy.
Girlhood is happy in the same sense
that childhood is, but who would desire
to remain child always?
While woman must take a second
place, that place need not be servile, nor
is it necessary to submit to all that may
be heaped upon her.
Woman's physical field is necessarily
limited but in the intellectual she may ri
val man, and become his worthy peer in
many lines.
Shnt out from the knowledge and broad
sympathies of the outside world, woman
hood reaches its highest plane in the mar
rage relation, no matter what its cares.
Those women who have grievances. and
imagine they are denied so many privi-
leges, should be obliged to earn their liv-
ing as men do. and they would soon be
cured OF their Illusion.
The greatest blessing Christianity has
bestowed upon the world is the sanctity of
the marriage relation, and through it
woman's protection from the grinding
cares OF the business world.
There is no country in the world where
women are made TO take second position
to girls. except the United States. That
perhaps accounts for the intellectual level
fashionable society has amoug US.
Business is business, and as soon as
woman takes on business air she degen-
crates, and is less womanlv and attractive
than one who stays at home and thinks
and acts from a woman'S standpoint

OLD AGE.
How Mans Lease of Life may be
Heightened.

Heightened.
The possibility of prolonging life has
commanded the serious attention of emf
nent scientists, and the discovery Of
some compound or elixir capable of pre-
venting or suspending physical decay, has
been, more than once, confidently pre-
dicted. The practical thing to consider
is, however, the prolongation of life by
proper care of the health, one of the
best means of maintaining which is the
occasiona. use of Ayers Pills. S. c.
Bradburn. Worthington, Mass, says:
ayers Pills are
remedy for sick headache, arising from
an impure state of the stomach, and are
the mildest and best purgative in the
world. They were first recommended TO
me, by my mother, thirty years ago.
Mrs. j. G. Smith, Campbeltown, Ga,
saws: Il have been cured of Rheumatism,
and am now ENJOYING good health, through
the use of Ayers Pills. l am nearly
seventy years of age" Mark johnson,
Monterey. Mexico, says: Il have used
Ayers Pills for the past thirty years, and
am satisfied that should not now be alive
had it not been for these Pills. BY using
them | have been enabled to avoid the
bilious diseases peculiar to this climate"
j. V. Thompson. Mount Gross. Va, says:

Pills as a remedy for Indigestion, Con-
s:ipation. and Headache, from which /

action of these Pills easy, and obtained
