MRS. DICK[NSON'S TRUTH.
ANY Woman Sould be Glad
to Learn il.
AND PROFIT BY IT.
The Blight That Comes to so Many
Women Explained-A Way
Shown by Which it
Can be Avoided.

No woman in America has given
greater attention to the ailments and
sufIeripgs of women thai Mary Lowe
Dickinson, the popular wrise:- aud
magazine contributor. She has fire.
quently uttered words Of warning
and advice to women, but never
with so impressive an effect as in q
recent address, when she said:
without health the beautiful
ceases to be beautiful. and education
and training are of little avail if she
has to pass her life a helpless victim
Of sickness and weakness. We do
not know half the truth about this,
for three-fourths of the sufferers do
not like to tell. For every historical
woman who makes every body about
her informed of her sufferings. there
are a dozen who drag their own
troubles dumbly and bravely into
their graves. Sickness is blight
that no woman should permit to
come over her if she can by any pos
sibility cure it or keep it away. How
to secure health is, indeed, one of the
first problems for this generation OF
women. Give us health is the cry
from all the world of women. Give
us q system that will spare us the
morbid brooding of discomfort. the
historical tantrum, the nervous col
lapse, the look of gloom from the
wells of our eyes,"
Every woman must admit the
truth Of these words. They are spo-
ken straight from the heart. There
are thousands upon thousands OF
women who feel sick at certain per-
iods, tired out. and who suffer from
weaknesses that doctors seem unable
to relieve, and the saddest part of il
all is that they might be happy. joy
Gus, flush with health, aud attractive
to family and friends if they only
knew and acted upon the secret Of
happiness. Most women are healthy
and attractive because they preserve
the organs that make health. 1t i:
true comparatively few know how
this is done, but many have ascer'
tanned it, and have relied as upon 8
true friend on that grandest, greatest
aud most reliable aid to woman in
her critical periods, Warmers Safe
Cure. Every doctor knows this
truth, and hundreds of the mosl
prominent and reliable ladies in
America have proven its value in
their own experiences. and are not
only alive. but strong. healthy and
happy today. There are few women
who can afford to ignore these sug
gestions. few who should fail tc
avail themselves of the valuable
hints they contain.

Thought They Were Capsules and Took the
Dose In the Dark.
A good citizen in the northwestern
section of the city has been through, an
exciting experience. Being q dyspeptic,
tho gentleman visited his physician A
prescription was written for him which
the druggist filled. The result was q
small box Of capsules, which he took
home and placed upon the sideboard,
with the remembrance of the instruc-
tons to talse two every hour in the even
ing after eating until bedtime. These
were obeyed implicitly.
1t was dark in the dining room. and
the gentleman went for his medicine
the first evening without a precaution
of a lamp and administered to himself
three doses Of two capsules each before
retiring. He was awakened some hours
.fterward by strange sensation. For
aught the man could tell he seemed
within to be mammoth penuchle board
on which a million little objects were
dancing.
He could distinguish kicks and jumps
SO wildly that it was in vain for his
dreaming. She suggested the doctor,
and the servant was dispatched in hot
haste. Before he arrived the sick man
asked for more of the capsules, which
were brought to his bedside. When the
cover was removed, there were Mexican
beans instead of capsules, the kernels
bouncing as merrily as spring lambs.
The box Of capsules had been misplaced
accidentally by the young son and heir
and the beans put in its place. The doc
tor does not say what kind of medicine
he finds useful in such cases Wash

his quarters. In answer to a salutation
from his visitor the black monarch made
a profound bow. Up to the present time,
it seems, he has learned very little of the

He Doesn't Like Boomers.

A farmer in Delaware county has put
his conservative sentiments on record
by affixing to a tree on his premises a
notice that "any idiot of the new wom-
an species found riding OF walking on
these premises will be arrested" Inter
viewed as to his precise meaning, Agric-
ola declares that by ''any idiot of the
new woman species" he means Zone of
these fools in bloomer costume on a
wheel" Three things, then, are neces-
sary to expose woman to his menace !:
% She must be fool, ~ in bloom
ers, 90 on wheel. It will be open to
any woman against whom the rustic
undertakes to operate his terrors to
plead that she was not intended by the
injunction, because she was not on q
wheel. was not in boomers or was not
fool, and the burden of proof will
then rest upon the farmer. 1t seems
that his specific grievance against the
new woman is that she scares his horse,
but it would not be practicable to pro-
duce the horse before the justice of the
peace ana to note the effect on him of
the culprit. Meanwhile the best course
of a woman who doubts whether she is
an idiot of the new woman species is to
keep off the old mans land. New York

A Bicycle Tragedy.

Battersea park was last week the
scene Of a bicycle tragedy unsurpassed
in it's cycling annals. A lady, famous
for the smartness of her appearance,
rode into the park behind an L. G. G.
water cart, and, finding the road incon-
venient1y crowded. continued to pedal
slowly along behind that vehicle, which,
it is needless to say. was not in active
operation. Suddenly the driver applied
his foot to the lever, and out spouted
the water. The lady tried to turn quick
~, but her bicycle slipped on the wet
road, and down she came in such po-
sition as to obtain the full benefit of
the cold water douche A pedestrian,
Mortified at the accident, shouted to the
driver, who at once brought the cart to
a standstill. This only made matters
worse, for, being absolutely unconscious
of what had happened, he continued to
keep the water pouring on his victim,
and several seconds elapsed before the
enormity of his offense could be ex-
planned to him. London World.

Cheating In Bridge Building.

A surprising discovery has resulted
from the investigation made Of the
piers of the aqueduct bridge over the
Potomac river, which is crossed daily
by people from all parts of the United
States on their way to the National
cemetery at Arlington. While making
excavations down to solid rock, with a
view to improving the defective pier, it
was found the old masonry had not
started from solid rock, but upon rip
rap stone, apparently thrown in with
out removing the debris upon this rock.
Above this insecure foundation the
masonry was of the poorest quality i'm
aginable, and the wonder is that the
bridge did not collapse years ago. Stones
were apparently put in as they came
from the quarry, without the slightest
reference to being set on end, and few
traces of mortar or cementing material
were found. A project for removing all
defective parts of the pier will be pre-
pared, with an estimate of cost, which
will be submitted to the Fifty fourth
congress. -Washingto Letter.

My love to my old comrades who are in

will increase the gladness of those who
are before the throne. Together are they,
all their tears gone.
My friends, take this good cheer home
with you. These tears of bereavement
that course your cheek, and of persecu-
ton, and of trial, are not always to be
there The motherly hand of God will
wipe them all away What is the use,

what is the use of fretting about any
