day afternoon and evening afforded an
excellent opportunity to see the Fourth
of July celebrated in various ways A
reporter of The Gazette, who made
the journey on the steamer City of

ing scenes. The numerous gaily. decked
craft. the pretty parks, the shore en-
campments, the floating house boats
and many other things along the river
afforded entertainment for those who
passed up and down the stream on the
boats. The displays of fireworks at
the several parks Saturday night were
beautiful. Many Wilmingtonians put
in the greater part Of Saturday riding
on the river, and in this manner they
escaped the heat of the city.

If woman is in good health there
is no more healthful employment than
housework. Generally speaking, there
is no happier woman in the world.
But how different when every breath
is pain, every step tortured This state
of health, in nine cases out of ten
comes from arrangements of the deli
cate, feminine organs of generation.
The family doctor inquiries first con-
cerning these. He most usually insists
upon an examination. From this
the modest woman naturally shrinks.
She is right. Except in very unusual
cases of female Weakness exami-
