1t is an ugly thing, however you spell
it, yet thousands of women are partic-
ularly guilty of it. Day after day, week
after week, they endure that dull pain
in the back, that terrible dragging
down" sensation that tells of weakness
and functional disorder, and do abso-
lutely nothing to effect a cure. In a
few years broken-hearted husband
and motherless children will follow her
to the grave. False delicacy prevents
consulting physician, but even this is
not necessary. DIR. Pierce's Favorite

DREADFUL CALAMITY

DETROIT, Dec. 20.-[Speclal. when
the State Medical Society met in Grand

in his retiring speech. stated that It had
been estimated that the members of
that society had saved the lives of ii =
600 annually. TSee his advertisement
In the newspaper reports.
But 1t had also been estimated That
they had killed 1900 outright and
dreadfuily injured $1,000 more, so that
they are now suffering with chronic
diseases by the use of their hyperder-
mic syringes and other means Of ad-
ministerlng Morphine, Choral, Cocain

In the mountains of Greece there was
. great cave, and in that cave lived .
man who was half horse. He had the
head and breast of . man, but q horses

Andrew Land in st. Nicholas, for know
ing moro about every thing than any
one else in all Greece. He knew about
the stars, and the plants Of earth, which
were good for medicine. and which were
poisonous. He was the best archer with
the bow, and the best player Of the
of old times, for he was the last of q
people half-horse spd half-man, who
had dwelt in ancient times on the hills.
Therefore, the Kings in Greece sent
their sons to him to be taught shooting,
singing. and telling the truth, and that
Wa all the teaching they had then, ex-
cspt that they learned to hunt, and Ash,
and fight, and throw spears. and toss
the hammer and the stone. Many of
the boys taught by Chiron became IA

played the harp 80 sweetly that wild

The Chinese in California.

Notwithstanding the Chinese exclu-
sion act, the Chinese population of
California at this time numbers II, 681,
showing that there has been very
slight decrease within the past ten
years. Many of the Chinese residents
of the State have returned to their
native country within these years, and
many have left California for other
States. There has been no increase
of the Chinese population through the
birth of children, as but very few Chi
nese women have ever been brought to
this country.
There need be no doubt that China
men reach California from British Co.
lumbia, to which they take passage
from Hong Kong. The Federal Gov
eminent IS trying to put stop to this
migration, which goes on in violation
of the exclusion act, and it is reported
that a letter on the subject WIS re-
Gently sent to the British Canadian
Customs Department, which replied
that it had no power to interfere with
the movements of Cinnamon who ar.
rive in Canada and pay the poll tax.
It is only by the vigorous enforce.
ment of the exclusion act along the
whole line of the Canadian border that
the influx of Cinnamon to this country
can be prevented.

pope Leo,s Simple LIE.

Leo XIII. has never allowed him
self holiday in the country during
the hot weather. He has now given
up even the modest villeggiatura in
the pavilion in the Vatican garden
which it has hitherto been his practice
to enjoy. Since the hot weather be-
gan, however. the Pope has had his
bed moved into his library, cool and
spacious apartment looking on to the
piazza of st. Peters. This apartment
serves at once as the bedroom, study,
and dinningGOom of the POntiff. The
Pope still keeps up his general prao-
tice of rising at 6 am. and saying mass
half an hour later, but when he has
had sleepless night he now INDUCES

pertinent topics. among the most i'm
portant being the question of the ad-
visibility of establishing county intelli-
genee Offices for the purpose of securing

that the Legislatures of the states of the
Union make wise and sufficient provi-
slons to care for incorrigibles and Grim
inal boys in the reform schools.
Resolved, That this convention here
by tender sincere thanks to President
Alexander Hogeland for his unselfsh,
untiring and emInently successful Efforts
during the past year in behalf of the
neglected youth of the land, and espe-
cially for his invaluable services in con-
nection with organizing the states of
Iowa, Nebraska and Kansas.
Resolved, That We hereby pledge our
support and hearty cooperation to this
work during the coming year.
Resolved, That We express our CRATE
