"MEN MUST WORK
AND WOMEN MUST WEEP. ]"

It was a great poet who penned the above lines, but he was very much mistaken. He was wrong in saying that women must weep. Women were never intended to pass their lives in misery. Why should they weep1
 Women's Weaknesses are the curse of womanhood. They have wrung tears from many wife and mother. What a pathetic story could be told of the suffering caused by sick headaches, backaches, miserable tired feelings and the thousand and one pain ful symptoms which so many women endure. But it is all unnecessary.
 They can be cured. Thousands of happy women testify to this fact. Ask them and they will tell you how much they owe to the benefit received from taking Warmers Safe Cure, the best and most reliable remedy for all ailments of womankind. AS means of relieving and curing kidney, blad- der and female troubles and even the dread Bright's disease itself, this great Safe Cure has never been equaled. A short trial will speedily prove what 1t can do for weak, weary women who ned help.

A Letter From Constantinople.

Boston, Nov. 19.-A letter has been re- ceived in this city from a reliable cor respondent in Constantinople, who says:
 "Wherever the influence of the porte in contradistinction to that of the pal ace has prevailed, even when the con- flicts have taken place, wanton massa- ere has been checked.
 The government, porte and palace alike is doing it's utmost to convince Eu- rope that Armenians everywhere are the aggressors. Thus gross calumny comes to the justification of the massacre and many are deceived The Armenians are being exterminated Shall we deny them the quality of manliness to stand for their lives?
 '"rhe violence of the revolutionary party has been grievous blunder, but the question has now passed that stage.
 "The reaction against England has begun. Russia's time seems not yet to have come. Will there be any Arme- nians left to profit by coming changes?
 Again and again we hear that the sultan is soon to be taken off. One might almost say that the forces of the empire are devoted to guarding his per- though within year his throne and that of his dynasty would go down together. It is hardly possible to conceive of times more critical. My own impression, as time passes. is that Moslem fanaticism is directed against Armenians alone.
 "Our confident hope till one month ago that the Christian Europe would forcibly stop the fiendish and mad and lying spirit of revenge seems doomed to bitter disappointment None can comprehend what a slaughter house Turkey is be- coming. or what a terrible incubus the chief criminal is upon his own people as we'll as Christians"
