A GOOD THING
For Women to Remember.

That in addressing Mrs. Pinkham they
'are communicating with woman-a wo-
man whose experience in treating woman's
ills is greater than that of any living physi-
'cian-male OF female.
A woman can talk freely to a woman
when it is revclting TO relate her private
ttroubles to a rnan-besides, n man does not
understand-simply because he is a man.
Many women suffer in silence and drift
,along from bad TO worse, knowing full well
that they should have immediate assist
ance but,a natural modesty impels them
10 shrinkfrom exposing themselves to the
questions and probable examinations of
even their family physician. Ii is unnec-
essary. Without money or price you can
consult a woman. whose knowledge from
actual experience Is greater than any local
physician living.
The following invitation = freely offered
accept it in the'same spirit:
Women suffering from aiy form, of fe-
male weakness,are invited TO freely COM
municate with Mrs Pinkham, at Lynn,
Mass. All letters are received. opened
read and answered by women only, thus
has been established the eternal confidence
between Mrs. Pinkham and the women Of
America which has never been broken and
has induced more than 100 600 sufferers to
write her for advice during the last four
months. Out of the vast volume Of exper-
fence which she has to draw from. il Is
more than possible that she has gained the
very knowledge that win help your case.
She asks nothing IN return except your
goodwill. and her advice has relieved
thousands. Surely, any woman, rich OF
poor, is very foolish If shedoes not take adj
vantage of this generous offer of assistance.

The roof wears out. unless kept paint
ed, faster than Will any other part OF
wooden building. 1t pays better TO
keep the roof painted than It does the
sides. and 1t will also need to be paint
ed oftener. When shingles are used
from clear, straight-grained wood and
kept always painted. they will last a
very long time. One OF the advantages
OF painting roofs is to keep water from
the nails. whose rusting soon rots the
wood where they are driven.

Whoever has tried to bind green corn
stalks knows the provoking frequency

''The popular idea that the age Of a
horse can always be told by looking at
his teeth" said a veterinary surgeon.
'is not entirely correct. After the
eighth year the horse has no more new
teeth. so that the tooth method is use
less for telling the age OF horse which
is more than eight years old. AS soon
as the set Of teeth is complete, however,
wrinkle begins to appear on the up
per edge OF the lower eyelId. and a new
wrinkle is added each year, so that to
get at the age Of horse more than
eight years old you must figure tile
teeth plus the wrinkles"

of the two big claws OF the lobster,
one is usually slender and more pointed
than the other, which is hic and
chubby. OF the tooth-like projections
in the Jaws of the Holsters claws, those
in the slender claw are pointed, small
ar. and far more numerous than those
in the Jaws of the larger claw, which
are rounded and blunt. The slender
claw with it's sharp teeth is used for
Selling and holdings; the powerful,
chubby jaw, with it's blunt teeth, Tor
crushing. 1t sometimes happens, how
ever, that the Holsters big laws are
alike. There was awhile ago at the
New York aquarium a 13-pound lob
ster, a very big lobster, but o nearly
SO big as the great lobster now there
whose two big claws were both pinch
ers.
The lobster eats cIustaceans OF va
rious kinds, CLAIMS and crabs and
shrimps, and so on, and it catches and
Eats live fish. 1t will eat dead fish, too,
but il prefers live ones. 1t cracks the
shells of c~rustaceans between the blunt
teeth of its crushing claws and then
eats the meat, with perhaps some small
fragments of the shell. 1t catches
fish in it's slender big claw The lobster
may lie partly under a rock, or con-
cealed under some marine vegetation,
with it's big claws extended and half
buried in the sand. The slender claw
with the sharp teeth is open, like a
pair of shears. One cutting edg-that
of the lower part Of the claw, which is
buried, is level with the surface; the
other and simmer part of the claw is
raised an angle in the water. The
lobster can work its cutting claw much
more quickly than it's crushing claw,
and can close it very suddenly.
Along comes . ,iatfsh, swimming
perhaps between the open jaws of the
lobster's sharp claw, when there is
clear water. Then down comes the
upper part of the claw, catching the
fatfsh about midway of its length,
and maybe cutting it half in two. The
fiatfsh can squirm and wriggle, but
escape is impossible. Pretty soon the
lobster reaches the fish over to the
crushing claw, and in its more ponder
Gus Jaws the fsh's head is crushed
Then the lobster proceeds to eat it.
OF the long, slender legs on either
side of the Holsters body those to
ward the real of the body are pointed
at the end, while the two forward legs
on zach side have each a little pincen
claw. With these claws the lobster
holds the food to it's mouth, which is
just below the projecting, pointed ter
mination of the shell in from. About
The mouth there are a number of appen'
dages, operating at different angles
which serve as cutters, and cut of
pieces from the Holsters food, some
thing as the knives of a sausage ma
chine cut off pieces of the meat that i
fed to it. Each of the Holsters cut
ters takes off but little at a time, but
they all keep going. and the result il
an almost continuous supply of food
The pincer claws hold the food up Il
the Holsters mouth, and gradually, az
the lobster feeds, the part remaining
becames smaller and smaller, unit
finally it all disappears.-N. Y. Sun.
