4 New Method of Treating
Disease.
HOSPITAL REMEDIES .

What are they There Is a new
departure in the treatment of dis
ease. 1t consists IN the collection Of
the specific used by noted specialists
Of Europe and America, and bring
ing them within the reach Of all.
For instance the treatment pursued
bv special physicians who treat indi-
gestion. stomach and liver troubles,
only was obtained and prepared.
The treatment of other physicians
celebrated for curing catarrh was
procured and 50 on till these incom-
parable cures now include disease of
the lungs, kidneys, female weakness,
rheumatism and nervous debility.
This new method of zone remedy
for one disease, must appeal to the
common sense Of all sufferers, many
of whom have experienced the Ill af-
fects and thoroughly realize the alb
surdity Of the claims of Patent Med
icines which are guaranteed to cure
every Ill out of single bottle, and
the use of which as statistics prove,
has ruined more StomdchS than alcohol.
A circular describing these new
remedies Is sent free on receipt OF

French Versus English Marriages.

A Frenchman writes: Why are the
bulk OF French marriages far happier
than the bulk OF English onesp In my
opinion 1t is simply because according
to the French system man has to win
the affection OF his wife after the we'd
ding. The French married couple
begin at the first act, whereas tho
English has generally got through all
but the fifth by the time the wedding
bells have stopped ringing. Then in
come the prosaic cares OF life and
cover everything up Out go the
lights and, presto! the glamor Is gone,
too, and nothing remains OF it all but
sleepy numbness and u sort Of won
der that the comedy should enjoy
such worldwide reputation. Yes.
in matrimony there is a way OF eating
your cake, and yet having it, but you
must not take your bites too large in
the beginning.
AS clever wit says: When you
are dead, it is for a long time, but
when you are married, 1t is forever"

INFLUENCE OF WOMEN In THE FRENCH
REVOLUTION.
Women In P~rsla--O Other Items for
the Female sex.

That the salons were unconscious
Instruments in Fastening the catas-
trophe. which was, sooner or later.
is undoubtedly true. Their
influence In the dissemination OF
thought was immense. The part they
played was, to limited extent, pre-
cisely that OF the modern press, with
an added personal element. They
directed the intelligence OF the age,
and reflected its average morality.
As centers of light and intelligence
they were distinctly stimulating. 1t
is quite possible that they stimulated
the intellect to the exclusion OF the
more solid qualities OF character. and
that thcy were the source OF vast
amount OF Intellectual affectation. 1t
was the fashion to have esprit, and
those who were deficient in an article
80 essential to success were naturally
disposed to borrow 1t, or to put on the
semblance of 1t. But no phase OF life
is without its reverse side, and the
present generation cannot claim free
dom from much pretension OF the
same sort. II they precipitated the
downfall Of the court which they be-
gan by rivaling, it. was In the logical
course OF events, which few were wise
enough to foresee, much less to de-
termine. 1t Is true there was much
to be deplored on the score OF mora
lily, but the salons moved in the drift
OF TIE time, and accepted the tradi-
tions OF corrupt past to q certain
degree, while they refined them.
1t is worthy of remark that this
reign OF women in which the man
ners and forms OF modern society
found their initiative and their models
was not reign of youth, or beauty.
or grace. though these qualities are
never likely to lose their own peculiar
fascination. 1t was, before all things,
u reign OF intelligence, the ascen-
dancy OF women who had put on the
hues Of ago without laying aside the
permanent charm Of fully developed
personality. One OF the most salient
outcomes OF the two centuries In
which women shone so conspicuously
in France may be found in the broad
ened intellectual life. the high aspira-
tions, the unfettered activities and
the wide and beneficent influence oil
the women OF today. -Amelia Gere

Terrible Punishment In Persia.


The punishments of women are very
severe. When woman commits the
smallest offense she is not put in the
lookup, for there are neither lockups
nor prisons in Persia, but in one OF
the huge stables with which the coun-
try Is plentiiully besprinkled. After
she has been In the stable four or five
days she is brought before the gov
ernor OF the village. who looks at her
from his window and passes Judgment.
These governors are put in charge
Of the villages by the Shah, and within
his own province each governor Is abb
solutely despotic. The offending
woman Is sometimes merely stood In
u corner OF the governors court, given
perhaps 700 lashes, made TO pay a
fino and sent home. II her ofYcnse be

a different punishment is imposed.
She Is hung up In bag. into which
are also put a cat and dog. The
governors officers then belnbof the
bag, the occupants OF which cannot
be said to dwell together In unity.
A worse punishment is to shave u
woman's head, black her face and give
her ride about the town on an OK.

Women should Heed.

Women who sit with their leg
crossed to sew or to read. or to hold the
baby, are not aware that they are in
viting serious physical ailments, but II
Is true, nevertheless. When q man
crosses his legs he places the ankle Of
one limb across the knee OF the other,
and rests it lightly there. A woman,
more modest and restricted In her
movements. rests the entire weight OF
one limb on the upper part OF the
other, and this pressure upon the sem
sitive nerves and cords, II indulged
in for continued lengths OF time. as Is
often done by ladies who sew or en-
broider, will produce disease. Sciati-
ca, neuralgia and other serious troub-
les frequently result from this simple
cause. The mucles and nerves in the
upper portion OF a woman's legs arc
extremely sensitive. and much Of her
whole physical structure can become
deranged II they are overtaxed in the
manner referred to.
