UN is there anything
more wholesome,
more beautiful, more completely pleasing
J than womanly woman? Such woman
is even tempered, intelligent, strong and
healthy. Health really tells the whole
story. Health means strong nerves and
strong body, and they go far toward
bringing good looks and amiability.
A woman worn and wearied by the
dragging weaknesses peculiar to her sex,
cannot be expected to find zest in any
duty or amusement. Life is all one dead
nonotonous gloom to her. On her face
is written the story Of weakness and pain.
The wholesomeness of health is lacking.
The cheeks lack fu1lness, the eyes lack
sparkle, the hair lacks luster.
Doctors have learned to locate nine.
tenths of womanly sickness in the organs
that ought above all others to be strong
and healthy.
Sensitive women shudder at the
thought of consulting physician on
such matters. A natural feeling of mod.
esty makes them dread the examination,
and subsequent stereotyped treatment by
"1ocal applications ;" on which most
doctors insist.
Much more often than not, this is un-
necessary. 1t should not be submitted
to except as last resort.
DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription has
cured thousands Of severe cases of "fe-
male weakness" It works in a natural,
sensible way. It begins by subduing the
Inflammation that is always present.
Then it strengthens and invigorates the
whole body, particularly the organs dis
tinctly feminine. It promotes regularity,
cures inflammation and liberation, and
stops the debilitating drain caused by
them. Of all dealers.

RUINED.



The hall of the city council was full of
enthusiastic women, who cheered aloud as
the new nayoress read the law just passed
providing that every woman should bear
her own name as we'll as her husbands s
and that every man should be compelled
to assume his wife's name as a prefix to
his own. But among the plaudlts of the
crowd there were undercurrents Of protest.
Mrs. Montmorenoy, now Mrs Boggs-
Montmorency, pulled down her veil impa-
tiently. She had married Montmorenoy
mainly to get rid Of the name of Boggs,
and now she frowned as she passed out,
jostling an old man who, feebly shaking
his head was muttering to himself: "Lost
Lost! Lost Hopkinson Wilberforce-
Rotterbotton Vanderdecken - and only
three by six! No, moi" His voice rose to
wall.
"What is it?" asked Mrs. Boggs- Mont
morency not unkindly.
"Oh, madam, Z" said the old man, "mook
me not with the semblance of sympathy.
You and your sisters have done this-the
stronger sex, that ever tramples on the
weaker. Listen" and he seized her arm
feverishly. II am Wrinkler, tho soap
man. Have you not all seen my name up
on the oblong cake that marks the advent
of washing day in every home? That
name was my trade mark, my living, my
all. And now-now," his voice rose in
shrill anger, under your accursed law l
am ruined. Four times have been mar
ried-once to Hopkinson, again to Will
berforce, then to Rotterbottom and now
to Vanderdecken. Hal HaP' he laugh
ed wildly "Hopkinson Wilberforce-R Rot
terbottom Vanderdecken Wrinkler's soap!
And this upon three by six cake! 1t Is
beyond the power of man, beyond the
help Of sciencel l am ruined and un-
DONE Lost! Lost Lostl" And wiring
ing his wrinkled hands he rushed away,
while the applause of the unthinking
crowd within still fingered upon the air.

Grim Testing.

Deathbed jokes are generally not au-
thentic. The celebrated one attributed to
Tom Hood for instance-that he protest
ed against blaming the undertaken who
had blundered into coming before the
great wit was dead and said that the man
had "only come to urn lively Hoods
known to be decidedly apocryphal.
Nevertheless remark somewhat Of the
same sort which is attributed to Lord
Chesterfield in his last illness is undoubt-
edly authentic. Chesterfield was very Ill,
and his death was only matter Of few
weeks, but his physician advised that he
be taken for an easy drive in his carriage,
and he went out
As the equipage was proceeding slowly
along 1t was met by a lady, who remarked
pleasantly to the great invalid:
"Ah, my lord, am glad to see you able
to drive out"
