bring her back to health and strength.
Most women do not understand their own
bodies, or the things that make them we'll
or sick. The most frequent cause OF sick
ness i'll women is the cause last looked for.
A women will go to a doctor when she has
severe cold, or some acute digestive dis
turbance, but she hesitates and procrasti-
mates when the trouble is with the distinctly
feminine organism. And yet the latter is
infinitely more serious. 1t is the most seri-
GUS sickness that any woman can have. 1t
is the most dreadful = the most dangerous.
Its consequences are always serious, and
serious right at the beginning because it is
facilitating. 1t saps the life and strength
and works on the nerves to such an extent
that the whole body is disturbed. Appetite
leaves, the color goes from the face and
hollows sink into the checks. 1rritability
succeeds good temper and fretfulness takes
the place of contentncnt. Little by little
life becomes more and more miserable.
The woman is killing herself with neglect
just as surely as if she were taking deadly
poison. Perhaps her husband cannot per-
suade her to go to her doctor, because she
naturally breads the inevitable examina-
tons and local treatments" He can per-
suade her, if she needs persuasion to take

COMFORT ONE ANOTHER"

Comfort one another
For the way is often dreary,
And the feet are often weary,
And the heart is very sad.
There is heavy burden bearing,
When it seems that none are caring.
And we half forget that ever we were
glad.
Comfort one another
With the hand clasp render,
With the sweetness love can render,
And the look Of friendly eyes.
Do not wais with grace unspo!ien,
While lire's daily bread is broken
Gsnsle speech is oft like mama from the

Gen. Charles E. BuZZell, of Lakeport,
N. H., Department Commander of New
Hampshire G.. A. r., has something of
interest to say to the people in regard to
the remarkable curative powers of DR..

Few men are more widely known than
Gen. Buzzell, who is Street Commission
er of Lakeport, and the most prominent
builder and contractor in the State. The

weak, tired and without my old-time en-
ergy and ambition. l grew so fearfully
nervous that / could not rest nor sleep
nights, but would be obliged to get up
and walk about several times each night.
I would get tired and nervous so easily
and quickly that it became almost impos-
sible for me to attend to my business.
At the same time 1 had the most severe
and distressing backache.
II took DR.. Greenes Nervura blood and
nerve remedy and it helped me right
away. My nerves were so strengthened
and invigorated that the nervousness left
me, and [ could again sleep soundly
nights, and wake mornings refreshed and
feeling strong and vigorous. The back
ache is completely cared [ am now per-

FORESTS IN CALIFORNIA.

In a magazine published by the
University of California, Charles HI.
Shinn, in writing of the lavish way in
which the best parts of the California
forests have been cleared away states
that in the Comstock mines alone
enough timber has been used to build
all the houses needed for city of 3d.
900 inhabitants. He has seen the bot
tom of a canon crowded for miles
with the trunks of pines, from each
one of which few f1ume blocks or
log of butt timber had been cut, while
the rest was left to decay. Not to
mention the thousands of acres of the
most magnificent coniferous timber
known to man destroyed by fires
which have burned out the soil itself
into great pits, it is stated that the
waste of timber in the redwood dis
tricts has been even more appalling
than it has been in the Sierras. More
than once the worlds record for the
number of feet cut in day has been
broken by some one of the saw mills
of the coast redwoods. So much lum-
Der is still produced by rival mill men
that it has not paid for cutting, and
some of the large California firms of
lumbermen have become bankrupt.
Enormous trees that represent from
500 to 1000 years of symmetrical
growth have been sawed up with no
profit, or with actual loss, when, if
they had been left to stand a few
decades longer, the profit might have
been a thousand dollars an acre.
At the time of the American occu-
patton of California the forests COW
cred, perhaps, $4,000 square miles.
Half of this has been cut over or is
inaccessible or consists of. species Of
less value than those which have
heretofore been cut. 1t is often as
serted that California has still twenty
millions of magnificent forest land,
but the truth is that there is left hard
ly fifteen million acres, and much of
this has been cut away.

An amusing story is told of the late
Principal Prize of Aberdeen, Scotland.
just after cat home" cards became
fashionable, one of the dryest speci-

which read as follows: principal and
Mrs. Pirie present their compliments
to Prof. T., and hope he is we'll. Prin
cipal and Mrs. Prize will be sat home
onThursday evening at eight o'clock. !"
This was something which evidently
required an ans yer, but the recipient
of it was quite equal to the occasion.
He wrote: s'Prof t. returns the com
pliments of Principal and Mrs. Prize,
and informs them that he is very

Principal and Mrs. Pirie will be at

The prevailing fashion in woman's
dress which provides for big sleeves,
has brought lots of money into one
branch of the paper and pulp indus
try. It is not very long since the idea
of using lining and stiffening mate
rial for these sleeves made of wood
pulp or paper, was first suggested.
The idea was a profitable one, and
now the material is made under many
names. They are fibre chamois,
spongue, crepon, fbrein, buckskin
fibre, cheveret, and dozen or so of
others; SO many, in fact, that the
manufacturers are cutting prices saw
agely in their efforts to control the
market. Fortunately the original
price was fixed at so high figure
that tt ere was room for lots of cut

Many amusing stories are current
in the East as to the Chinese habit of
imitation. A lady, wishing to instruct
her cook in the art of cake making,
went to her kitchen, and requested
him to observe her carefully while
she mixed the various ingredients.
The cake required six eggs; but, on
breaking the first two, she found them
bad and threw them away. The next
six proving good, she went on and
compounded the cake to her satisfac-
ton, the cook meanwhile watching
all her motions.
The cake proved a success, and, for
several weeks the cook sent equally
good ones to the table. f nally, how
ever, the quality degenerated; and
the mistress went once more to her
kitchen, with request that the cook
show her how he made it. The cook
broke the first two eggs, and calmly
tossed them out of the window, with
out looking at them, much to her sur
prise. When Intercepted as to the
reason for SO wasteful a proceeding,
the chef, with bland and. childlike in
nocence, replied, 'sMy makee all
