And if, despairing of justice, the faith ful wife endures patiently through life for the sake of her children's future, the English law permits an unfaithful husband and father at death to will away every penny of his property from his wife and children to a charity, a stranger or mistress, possibly leaving those whom the law made his depend ents dependent on the ratepayers of his parish. This is not possible in Scotland, nor was it formerly possible in England.

StOp!, Women,

And consider that In addressing Mrs. Pinkham you are confding your private ills to woman-a woman whose ex- perience in treating woman's diseases is greater than that of any living phy- sician, male or female.
 You can talk freely to a woman when it is revolting to relate your private troubles to a man; besides, man does not understand, simply because he is a man.
 MRS. PINKHAM'S STANDING
 INVITATION.
 Women suffering from any form of female weakness are invited to promptly communicate with Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass. All letters are re- ceived, opened, read, and answered by women only. A woman can freely talk of her private illness to a woman. Thus has been established the eternal confidence between Mrs. Pinkham and the women of America which has never been broken. Out of the vast volume from, 1t is more than possible that she has gained the very knowledge that will help your case. She asks nothing in return except your good will, and her advice has relieved thousands. Surely any woman, rich or poor, is very foolish if she does not take advantage of this generous offer of assistance.

SOME ROYAL DOGS.

Nearly All the sovereiRns of Europe Arc
 Fond of Canine Pets,
 Nearly every one of the sovereigns of Europe, 1t appears, has one or more pet dogs. The collies of Queen Victoria, the fox terriers of Princess Beatrice, with Jock as prime favorite, are known at least by hearsay to every body.
 The emperor of Russia is also great lover of dogs. A London paper reports that he is always accompanied in his walks by couple of fine Danish hounds, whose strength and vigilance their master considers his best safe guard. The grave czar is often seen playing with these monster pets, He himself has taught them their tricks, and they are nearly always about him.
 The king of Greece shares the czar's taste for the Danish hounds, which are as intelligent as they are strong, and which, with hardly bark to announce their intentions, will fly at the throat of any one whom their master may point out to them in case of need. When the empress of Austria goes on her long walks or rides, several, pet dogs always accompany her. But per haps the most widely known of all the royal dogs" of the present day is Black. the pet dog of the Russian Grand Duke Alexis.
 Black Is a sportsman's dog, of DO very aristocratfo breed. Indeed, if the truth must be told. he is a member of the race of mongrels which the fisher men in the south of France take out to sea. employing them to recapture any willy fish that may fall through the meshes of their nets or slip suddenly back into it's element after 1t has been once landed on board the barge Black is still rejoicing in the days of his youth, but his record, not only as a common fisherman but as ''f1sher of men, is already great, for be has saved DO fewer than six persons from watery grave
 Some three or four years ago the Grand Duke Alexis was staying at Biarritz One stormy night be went out on the cliff to get view of the angry sea. A boat was just being wrecked be- low, and he saw dog dashing with angry growls and barks into the water and bringing to land. one by one, three drowning men, while the crowd oheered the brave mongrel to the echo, The grand duke approached to oaress the dog, and the animals master then offered Black to him, refusing to accept any payment.
