News Which is Good News to Women.

1t is fact that our women who
suffer from female complaints and
are consequently weak, tired. ner-
vous, dragged-out and full of pains
and aches, do not have the same OPP
portunity TO be cured as do the resi-
dents Of the great cities where the
most successful specialists in female
diseases reside. In other words,
our women are debarred from seeking
IL cure by the great and skilled ply
siciau owing to the cost of travel to
the large city aud the high fees
charged by such specialists.
Here, therefore, is "A chance for
the sick and suffering women of our
community which should not be

as to just what to do to get cured.

A Kind-Hearted President.

Felix Faure, President of the French
Republic, has made the hearts of many
of the little girls of his country to beat
with joy. 1t is one of his practices to
devote al least two mornings week to
visiting hospitals. His visits are not of
the hasty order, but much the other
way, as he spends time passing through
the different wards, especially among
the sick children. One of his favorite
questions is to ask the little unfol tu-
mates what he can do for them, and in
the case of little girls the answer is in
variably une poopee Ga dolly. Then,
with kind-hearted smile, President
Faure takes out his pad and pencil and
writes down the child's desire. The
next morning usually finds several
boxes of dolls at the hospital, all of
them very handsome. 1t is said that
his generosity has already cost him over
1000 dolls since he has occupied the
presidential chair. - Harper's Round
Table.

Cheap Powder Wanted.

Twice each day, the year through, the
flag is saluted at every army post in the
country where there is ordnance. To fire
this salute costs the government just
$4,000 year, and, but for large sup
ply of old war powder in stock and USE
less for other purposes, the cost would
probably have been much greater in
the past thirty years. Now this re-
serve supply has become practically ex-
hausted, and the authorities have been
looking around to find some cheap pow
der capable of making great noise, but
not necessarily having great velocity
securing properties, that will answer
for saluting purposes. The old war
powder costs twenty cents pound,
but the new prismatic powder used in
the heaviest ordnance is far more ex-
pensive. An inventor of cheap brand =,
to cost not over eight cents pound,
has been found in New York city, and
the department will order a large sup
ply of this powder to be sent to the va
rious army posts where the sunrise and
sunset guns are fired each day.-Ex-

She drew nearer the bicycle, aud ex.
amined lie shining outlines. BY the
aid of the match which the deacon in
noceDtly struck in order to ascertain
whether his tumble had resulted in any
damage to the machine, she peered at

surface.
"See what it saysl " she whispered to

A month later, Miss Thankful was
riding along that road, when suddenly
two bicycle riders darted past her. One
was the deacon, sitting solidly, sturdily
upright, and managing his steed with
skill, if not with grace. And by his
side, on another bicycle, was figure,
almost youthful in its outlines, clad in
a well-ftting suit of dark blue, with
natty sailor waist and jaunty Tam-o'-
Shanter cap.
"The deacon an Alviryl " solilo-
quized Miss Thankful, while a smile
overspread her face. "She's learned
to ride, too, and they seem as happy as
two children jest out of school. After
all, folks needn't grow old 'nless they

last half mile, you've got an easy slide
into Union City, an We'll 90 down
there as if we was the White Mail. Put
in your toe-nails, my GIRL Don't be

The engine did her best; she seemed
to take pride in overcoming this last
difficulty. But her drive-wheels slipped
and she made that peculiar suffering
sound which locomotives do in such
cases. The driver soothed her like
child.
Easy-easy, little girl-don't Try to
get over too much ground at once.
Keep all you git, and keep a-gittn'-
don't be scared by little snow-you'll
have good, long rest an nice groomin'

No one could walk more deliberately
than the train was going when the
heaviest part of it got started down the
grade.
Hurray! hurrayl Now we're all
right We've done what we said we
would-somethin' no two others on the
line could ha' done! 1t won't take us
long to git to Union City now; you've

He opened the throttle, and the train
began to increase its speed. The
driver was exultant.
"We've done it, SAM" he shouted,

helped a lot, too, a-feedin' her so steady

They were coasting through the
frozen spray at forty miles an hour.
Suddenly great light cleaned at them
from ahead-a shrill scream-and their
train was in head.on collision with
the powerful snow-plow engine, which
had been told by mistaken operator
whom God forgive-that the track was
clear, all but the snowl
With thought of the little girl with
the blue eyes and pink complexion, and
prayer to God, the fireman plunged
out into the storm. But Jim Comstock
stayed where he was and was pinioned
in the wreck of his own locomotive.

he was muttering, as Sam, limping up,
bent over him. Its best we should,

her pocket picked Of her purse. She raised
q cry and snatched the portemonnaie from
the hand of the thief who then ran away
right in front of policeman. A gentle
man passing at the moment asked the po-
uceman why he did not pursue the pick
pocket. The policeman replied, why
should / run after him when he did not
get the purse?" But he is a thief" ex-
claimed the gentleman. "Eh," answered
the brave policeman, "there are so many
