A GOOD THING
For Women to Remember,

That in addressing Mrs. Pinkham they
are communicating with a woman-a wo-
man whose experispce in treating woman
ills is greater than that of any living ply
sician- male or female.
A woman can talk freely to woman
when it is revolving to relate 1er private
troubles to a man-besides, man does OF
understand-simply because he is man.
Many women suffer in silence ana drift
along from bad to worse, knowing fun wen
that they should have immediate assistance,
but natural modesty impels them TO
shrink from exposing themselves to the
questions and probably examinations OF
even their family physician Ii is unneces-
sary. Without money or price they can
consult woman, whose knowledge from
actual experience is greater than any local
physician living
The following invitation is freely offered
accept it in the same spirit.
Women suffering from any form OF ie-
male weakness are invited TO freely COM
municate with Mrs. Pinkman 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 IN
duced more than 100000 sufferers to write
her for advice during the past four months
Out of the vast volume of experience whlcl
she has to draw from, it is more than pos
sible that she has gained the very knowl-
edge that will help your case. She asks
nothing in return except your goodwin
and her advice has relieved thousands
Surely any woman, rich IL poor, Is very
foolish if she does not take advantage OF
this generous offer of observation-disclosures

Grant as a boy.

Some Of the good people of George

far in their attempt to show how very

Hamlin Garland in McClure's. A boy

across country and arrive safely; who
could load a wagon with heavy logs
by his mechanical ingenuity: who in
sisted en- solving all mathematical
problems himself; who never whisper

to trick or mere verbal memory-such

Here lie the remains of Mrs. Rachel
Jackson, wife Of President Jackson,

aged 81 years. Her face was fair, her
person pleasing, her temper amiabie,
her heart kind. She delighted in re-
lieying the wants of her fellow crea-
lures, and cultivated that divine
pleasure by the most liberal and I'M
pretending methods; to the poor she
was q benefactor, to the rich an ex-
ample. TO the wretched comforter,
to the prosperous an ornament; her
piety went hand in hand with her
benevolence. and she thanked her
Creator for being permitted to do good.

"a way They Have in the Navy"

The commissioners of the admiralty
were making their annual inspection,
says Punch. The weather was fine,
so their yachting expedition had been
exceptionally pleasant. They had seen
the ships and the guns. At that point
they had stopped short
"And now you say that the whole of
the machinery is worked from the GEN.

Eyes" was the reply. "The vessel
is steered, the guns are worked and
the fires are stocked all by electricity"

ed the second sea lord.

ent. "And, as recruits are scarce,

"Well, with the inspection OF this
last first-rate battleship our inspection
concludes. l think we have seen
everything"
The colleagues Of the speaker whis-
pered a suggestion.
ITO be sure-I had forgotten it. We
have seen the ships and the guns. But
we have not inspected the men. So
perhaps we might overhaul the crew
of the present vessel. Mr.. Admiral,
will you kindly beat to quarters?"
Thus invited, the officer whistled
and the summons was answered by a
head appearing out of the central
| tower.
"And who may you be-" asked the
first lord.

"The crew! What crew."

that it's precious lonely working a big

And the lords of the admiralty

Great Mans Compliments.

While it Is we'll known that Daniel
Webster, in speaking of General Tay-
lors candidacy for the office Of presi-
dent, pronounced it "a nomination
not fit to be made" he never failed to
do justice to the generals military
abilities and eminent service in the
field One one occasion he paid the
old soldier a delicate and well-de-
served compliment. General Taylor
was complaining of the crowds of
people who daily besieged him soon
after his accession to the presidency.
"They interfere" he said, with
my official engagements, and violate
my domestic retirement, but still l dc
not wish to turn my back upon my
friends"
you never did upon your enemies
general" Mr.. Webster instantly re-
piled.
A compliment of another sort, and
much more surprising, considering its
source, was one given by Mr.. Webster
| though the object of it was not pres
ent to hear. Some one was speaking
of the remarkably beautiful eyes of 6
handsome woman, and one young en-
thusiast said, "They remind me, will
their long, dark eyelashes, Of artillery
in ambuscade."
"They should rather be compared
to heat lightning" said another.
Not So" put in Mr.. Webster, will
a perfectly grave face, "for you mus
certainly be aware, my dear sir. tha
heat lightning never strikes!"

HOW FLOWERS WERE NAMED.

The fuchsia is named after Leonard
Fuchs, q noted German botanist.
The begonia was named in honor Of
NJ. Begon, French patron of botany.
The name of jasmine is preserved
with little change from the Arabic,
ysmym.
The gladiolus is only "a little sword"
this being the Latin form of the ex-
preston.
The English name Of lilac is almost
unchanged from the Persian name OF
the same flower

Queens Plumber.

In his new history of the British
navy M. Oppenheim declares that the
plumber during Queen Elizabeths
reign was not so great as is supposed
He says: $50 far as pecuniary re-
ceipts were concerned. there were only
two really great captures during the
queens reign. Her share of the St.
Philip, taken by Drake, in 1887, was
G46,572; brakes own, 91S.2S5; the
lord admiral's E4,S3S, and private ad-
venturers', f44,7S7. A still richer
haul was made in the Madre de Dios,
taken in 1892, which, by the account
of her purser, carried $500 Quintals of
pepper, 800 of cloves. 700 of CHINA
mon, 500 of cochineal and $50 of other
merchandise, besides amber. musk
and precious stones to the value OF
400 900 crusados, and some especially
fine diamonds. Meg York Tribune

Many are the stories told of old
Father Neale of Virginia, the Baptist
preacher. He was by trade a carpen-
ter, and before he forsook that bust
ness to become minister. was head
carpenter to General Washington.
Father Neale's only book was the
Bible, and when he found a young
preacher using a concordance to help
him find the texts, he said:
"You had better let that alone; it
will do you more harm than good; it
will make you lazy"
"But how can / do without it,"
asked the young preacher.
why, do as / do" replied Father
Neale: study the Bible till you know
it by heart"
Once he heard a minister say that
the people could not have been i'm
mersed in the Jordan, because that
river was so small that man could
almost dam it up with his foot. That
was too much for Father Neale.
II don't pretend to have any great
learning said he, with twinkle in
his eyes, "but if | don't read books OF
travel, there's one book l do read, and
that's the Bible. Now our brother
here says the Jordan is SO small that
you may stop it with your foot. His
books may tell him so. but my book
| tells me that David, when he was fly
ing from Absalom, and wanted &c
| orocc tbot cora river Jordan had n
hire a boat to carry him overt"

Then fear took hold
of him, and he cried:
az have gathered enough; now, war
should ceaSe!
And he sent out messengers far and
wide.
TO the strong ones only, to ask for
peace.
eve are Christian brethren thus he
spake;
LET us. seal contract, never to
fight.
Except against rebels, who dare to
break
The bonds we have made by the vic
tors right"
And the strong ones listen: and some
applaud
The kindly offer and righteous word;
With never dream Of deceit or fraud,
They would spike the cannon and
break the sword.
But others. their elders, listen and
smile
At the sudden converts unctuous style,
They watch for the peacemaker' S
change of way;
While his war-forges roar by night and
by day.
Even now, while his godIy messengers
speak.
His guns are afame on his enemies
weak.
He has stolen the blade from the hand
of his foe.
And he strikes the unarmed a merci-
less blow.
To the ends of the earth his oppression
runs;
| The rebels are blown from the mouths
of his guns,
| His war tax devours his subjects food
He taxes their evil and taxes theii
good;
He taxes their salt till he rots theii
blood.
| He leaps on the friendless as on &
| prey,
And sinks, tail down, from the strong
| one away,
| The pharisee's cant goes up for peace
But the cries OF his victims never
cease.
The stifled voices of brave men rise
| From a thousand cells; while his ras
cal spies
Are spending their blood money fas
| and free.
And this is the Christian to oversee
| A world OF evil! a saint to preach!
A holy well-doer come to teach!
A prophet to tell us war should cease
A pious example OF Christian peace!
