A woman burned at the stake is a martyr.
A woman tortured and dragged down to
death by the pains and misery of diseases
distinctly feminine, is just an ordinary, ev-
ery-day woman. Her case is SO ornmon that
little is thought of it. She had better be
burned. Her agony would be soone over.
Many women suffer in silence because
they dread the abhorrent local" treatment
invariable insisted upon by physicians -
and because they dread the truly appalling
charges these physicians make. No woman
need submit to either of these evils. The
problem of womanly health was solved 90
years ago by the preparation of DR.. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription. Tens of thousands
of grateful women have written to DR.. Pierce
to thank him for restored health, love and
is truly wonderful in its effect on the female
once. 1t soothes the pain and relieves that
dreadful, dragging down sensation. 1t stops
facilitating drains >and promotes regularity
of every function. Druggists sell more of
it than of all similar medicines combined.

relation to DIR. Williams Pink Pills. I did
not at that time know what they were supposed
to cure. | should have paid no attention t othe
article had | not caught the name of a lady
whom | knew. Reading, | found that she, in
similar circumstances, had been greatly bene-
fitted by the use Of Pink Pills, and knowing
her as ! did | had no doubt of the truth OF the
statement that she had authorized.
The first box was not gone before | saw
Il change, and the third had not been finished
before all signs of my rheumatic troubles were
gone to stay.
Il say gone to stay for though there

American Lamps I'm Paris.

From Lippiro otis Magazine.
The terrible use made by the CoTmun2r,!s
of 1871 of petroleum for ccnfiagrative pur-
Cses produced such an impression the
French mind that people recoiled even at
the II cntion of Kerosene. SO the American
kerosene lamps, which Were then just be
ginning to get a fco;hold III France. were
relegated to the limbo of dangerous innoya-
tons. Then came the exhibitions OF l>tS
and 1>Sa. with our particularly good show
OF new improved and artistic lamps. The
memories of 1871 We're quickly forgotten.
and today the use OF candles and the ola
pump lamps''-gas has never been a gen
eral means of domestic lighting in France
has gone down before the American SubSti-
tute which has not only invaded the Fari-
sian bal room and parlor, but has even
found favor in the chateauX along the Loire
ard has worked its way into the plain
ZONES of the remotest villages. One Of tho
American lamp exhibitors received SO many
orders during the exhibition of lss9 that he
established branch store in the best part
of commercial Paris. where he has been DO
ing thriving business ever since.

NO ENrANGLING ALLIANCES.
The American Policy Of NOn-Inter-
ventton to BE Followed.

From time to time rumors have come
from European sources 10 the effect that
the government of the United States has
senified an intention of cooperating with
one or more of the great powers. those last
mentioned being Great Britain and Italy,
to enforce reforms in the Turkish empire
and prevent further attacks upon Armenian
Christians. To support these stories per-
fectly routine movement of two American
cruisers has been twisted into an intended
hostile demonstration. 1t can now be au-
thoritatively stated that it is not contem-
plated, nor has it been, that this govern
ment i'm the slightest degree should depart
from its ti;nc-honored policy Of re1raining
from intervention in European affairs fur
ther than is necessary to protect American
citiz- rs. and even I'm protecting American
citizens any action taken will be absolute
iy inde pendent OF amy cther power.
As was the case in the Brazilian rc5el
lion and the Chiuesc-Iarcnese war, and In
many other ms S. t!I" government, as
a matter Of prudence, has maintained a
sufficient naval force near places where
Americans reside in numbers tp insure
their safety. but with the political aspect

the Diplomat Was Ignorant.
A member OF the house who has served
on the foreign 0fciTs committee, and who
has often come in contact and still comes
in contact socially with many of the diplo
mats, remarked yesterday:
Il have just had a remarkable proof of
the fact that our South American neigh
bors lack q good deal of what we call horse
sense in Anglo-SaxOn. 1t was furnished
by one of the ministers of the South
American republics now in Washington.
He is Intelligent and hard headed enough,
generally speaking, but he fell down COM
pletely III regard to a very simply matter,
a heating register.
He occupies q fine residence in a fash
ionable part of the city. The cold snap
came on, and the minister began to shiver
and freeze in his own house. He endured it
in patience two weeks. The other day he
sent for the lapdlady.
'''Ah, madame, he began in his char
acteristic accent, and with despair in

sThe 1andlady looked around the room.
g There are two registers here. Do
you know how to work them?
sc 'Weerk dem?' exclaimed the minister.
COW? No; nevair touch dem-nevair.'
Don't you turn the little brass knob

Z" Well, all you need to do is to push it
this way. See how it's done?'
"a hot wave of air suddenly shot up
into the diplomats face as he bent over
the register TO study the mechanism. He
almost screamed with joy as he saw the
simple process of converting his ice cham
Der into q tropical dollhouse, and the land
lady had a narrow escape from being hug

E'And for two weeks concluded the
