As she recalled the past, and tried to
penetrate the future. a smile of supreme
satisfaction passed over her honest face
as she remembered that her life's work
would be perpetuated.
The room in which she sat contained
hundreds of volumes of records; and,
turning to her daughter, she said, =
"My daughter, this room, as you well
know, contains the records of my life's
work, in which for many years you have
so diligently assisted me.
"By earnest application you have COM
passed my methods; and it is happi-
ness to think that when leave, the
glorious work will, through you, go on.
"The mission is noble one. Do as I
have done: never permit woman's APP
peal to go unheeded.
"These records tell of every case ever
submitted to me; and it is my wish that
the facts they contain shall in time prove
a much-needed education to the women
of the world"
Thus did Lydia E. Pinkham hand over
to her daughter, Mrs. Charles H. Pink
ham, what may be termed the salvation
of her sex; and that wonderful remedy,
Lydia E. Pinkhdm's Vegetable Com
pound, which all druggists consider as
standard as -four, goes on redeeming
hundreds of women from the fearful
consequences of female diseases.

have You a house, splendid mansion,
and tho bed should DO covered with up

would have every hall IN your house set
with statues and statuettes, and then
would have the four quarters of the

monds and amethysts. Then You should
each one of you have the finest horses

"Not each ono of us;" you say. Yes.
Each one Of you. "Not to your enc
miesi" Yes. The only difference I
. would make with them would be that
would put little extra gilt on their
walls and little extra embroidery on
their slippers. But, you say, "Why does
not God gives us all these things?"
All, bethink myself, he is wiser. 1t
would make fools and sluggards of us
if we had our way. No man puts his
best picture in the portico or vestibule
of his house. God meant this world to
be only the vestibule of heaven--that
great gallery of the universe toward
which we are aspiring. We must not
have 1t too good in this world, or we
wOull want no heaven
Polycarp was condemned to be burned
to death. The stake was planted. He
was fastened to it. The fagots were
placed around him, the fires kindled,
but history tells us that the flames bent
outward like the canvas of ship in a
stout breeze, SO that the flames, instead
of destroying Polycarp, were only a
wall between him and his enemies.
They had actually to destroy him with
the poniard. The flames would not
touch him. Well, my hearer, I want
you to understand that by Gods grace
the flames Of trial, instead of consum-
ing your soul, are only going to be a
wall of defense and canopy Of bless
ing. God is going to fulfill to you the
blessing and the promise, as no did to
Polycarp, "When thou walkest through
the fire, thou shalt not be burned.
Now you do not understand. You shall
know hereafter. In heaven you will
bless God even for the hornet.

A Significant Departure.

With the depa. ture of another year
when a review is made of the condition
of affairs, it is only right that some
thought be given to the physical body
which enables everyone to battle with
life's problem and figure for themselves
the profit or loss on the trial balance
sheet. Though the bank account may be
large and each ones material gain be
great, it would not be surprising if it
suddenly dawns upon many that good
health has been greatly impoverished by
the low condition Of the blood. 1t is in
this state that the tactic acid in the vital
fluid attacks the fbrous tissues, particu-
larly the joints, making known the local
manifestations of rheumatism. Thous-
ands of people have found in Hoods
Sarsaparilla the great blood purifier, a
positive and permanent cure for rheuma-
tism.

In Human Guise.

Again, tho small insect annOyances
may come to us in the shape of friends
and acquaintances who are always say
ing disagreeable things. There are some
people you cannot be with for half an
hour but you feel cheered and comfort
ed Then there are other people you
cannot be with for five minutes before
you feel miserable. They do not mean
to disturb you, but they sting you to the
bone. They gather up all the yarn
which the gossips spin, and retail it.
They gather up all the adverse criticisms
about your person, about your business,
about your home, about your church,
and they make your ear the funnel into
which they pour it. They laugh heartily
when they tell you, as though it were a
good joke, and you laugh, too-outside.
These people are bronght to our at
tention in the Bible, in the book of
Ruth. Naomi went forth beautiful and
with the finest Of worldly prospects, and
into another land but, after awhile
she came hack widowed and sick and
poor, What did her friends do when she
came to the city? They all went out, and,
instead of giving her common sense con-
ISOLATION, what did they do? Read the
book of Ruth and find out. They threw
up their hands and said, is this Mao

FACTORY LAWS UNENFORCED.
Big Corporations Have 'sInf1uence" and
No one Dares Make Complaint.

Hartford, Conn, February LIN his
report to Governor Coffin, Factory In
spector Brown says that Connecticut is
behind other states, particularly Massa-
chusetts, in the enforcement of laws re-
garding factories. There is too much
local influence to make the laws effect
i've and regulations as to construction
and fire escapes are absolutely nulified
in the smaller towns and in the larger
cities of the state, where political pulls
prevail is too little attempt to protect
The help. Mr.. Brown was asked today:
Are not the factories i'll this state gen.
orally complying with the laws?" He
rplied, " Far from it. A factory inspect
or who sees many of these defects in the
work of examining machinery can say
nothing. His hands are tied. 1t is none
of his business. if hundreds of en-
ployes are every hour of the day running
the risk of losing their lives by fire.
That comes under the province of the
building inspector or fire marshal, or
selectman. Big corporations often con-
troll small town, ard no one dares to
give notice to have the manufacturers
comply with the law. 1t would be po-
Iitical death to one, and thus there is no
enforcement of the law. | find, time
and again, just such conditions, but can

ALMOST CAME TO BLOWS.
Exciting Scene in the House of Repre-
sentatives Yesterday.

Washington, February LIN the
course of the closing of the discussion
upon resolution reported by Mr.. HIT,
from the committee on foreign affairs in
regard to Hawaii, this morning, an al
tercation took place on the floor of the
House between Mr.. Breckenridge Dem.
of Kentucky, and Mr.. Heard (Dem.) of
Missouri. which was attended with much
excitement. The Speaker shouted for
order, and directed the sergeant-at-arms
to arrest the gentleman.
Deputy SerQeant-at-Arms Hill rushed
down the aisle with the overpowering
mace in his hands and endeavored to re-
store quiea. 1t required several minutes
to accomplish this however, as Mr..
Breckenridge was making attempts to
reach Mr.. Heard.
The latter, who had not moved from
his pl ace, raised his hands in a depreca-
tory manner towards mis- antagonist,
saying:
sYou had better go away, Brecken-
ridge"
When quiet was restored, both gentle
men apologized.
The Hawaiian resolution was then
further discussedsunder unanimous con-
sent, asked and obtained at the sugges-
tion of MIR. Reed, and was then agreed to.

Captain j. E. Micthell of Company g.,
Second Regiment, (the Hamlin Rifles of

it was conducted by some of his staff

warded his resignation to headquarters
and asked for his discharge, butAGovern-

House today the first hour of today's ses-

the Reilly bill to refund the indebted
negs of the Pacific railroads. Mr. Bow
ers (Rep.) of California opposed the pas
sage of the bill.
Mr. Bryan (Dem.) of Nebraska dis
cussed the equities of the situation as
between the government and the people
along the line of the road, and as be-
tween the stockholders and the people.
He asserted that there could be no such
thing as an innocent purchaser of the
stock of these corporations. He was sur
prised that the gentleman from Vermont

for the New England stockholders, did
not admit the existence of such degree
of illiteracy there as required protection

New England sent it's surplus wisdom to
