FOR GIRLS AND WOMEN.
Plans to Improve Their
T hvsical Condition,
Mrs. E. A. Bucks Recovery from
Severe Nervous Prostitution.
A Simple Method Which Wrought
Permanent Cure in Her Case.

A Simple Method Which Wrought
q Permanent Cure in Her Case.
There has been more or less talk of
late about the benefits of gymnasium
WORK for girls and women
There is no doubt that their physical
condition can be greatly improved by
systematic exercise, And it Is certain
that many stand in sore need of such
improvement.
The great WEAKNESS, nervousness.
poor sleep, inability to walk far without
firing, bearing down feeling, headache,
and backache, cold feet, and spinal ten
derness,-al these are symptoms that
affect large proportion of women.
"The sense of exhaustion is "a remark
able one; the woman is always tired ;
she passes the day tired, she goes to bed
tired, and she wakes up tired often, in
deed, more tired than when she fell
asleep. She signs great deal, and her
arms and legs tremble or fall asleep so
frequently that she fears palsy or
paralysis
But few have opportunities for physi.
cal culture, and they give up hope and
suffer silently and sadly. Into the dark
ness of their sorrow comes a CLEAN of
brightness from the experience of Mrs.
f.. A. Buck of Lynn. Mass. She writes !:
''For long time | was on the verge of
nervous prostration and general debility
l was so | could not walk any distance
without terrible palpitation of the
heart anda dizzy, faint feeling. Moth
ing helped me until used Paine's celery
compound. a few bottles of that re-
markable medicine made me feel like
another woman. I now do my own
house work, sleep well, have a good APP
petite, and can walk a long distance
without having to rest at all. | only
hope this testimony of mine will induce
some poor, nervous, wOrnout friend to
use this compound and be cured"
Why should there be suffering and
sickness among women when there is
this scientific, cOmmon-sense remedy,
Palne's celery compound, that cures.
If you do not need it yourself speak of
it to some weak and nervous woman,
and tell her that at last there is relief for
nervous ills.

CIRCUS ON THE BlLLOW.
"Greatest Show on Earth" Starts on Its
Voyage to Europe.

""reatest snow on Earth" Starts on Its
Voyage to Europe.
Flying an American flag at her peak,
with $50 persons waving $50 bright new
American flags; with two bands PLAYING
"IIail Columbia" and America" and
with all of the animals in the Greatest
Show on Earth chanting a bedlamite
chorus of keen regret, the steamship
Massachusetts of the Atlantic Transport
line started last Thursday for London.
1t has been charged that the Barnum-
Bailey show will appear in England as
an English affair. The American Dor
ton of the display was made to show
that the undertaking was wholly and
distinctly American.
Putting the circus aboard ship proved
much greater task than anybody had
dreamed of. On Wednesday word was
sent to all who were going to sail that
the tart would be made at 8 a. m. 1t
was nearly twelve hours after that when
the vessel got out into the North River
Long before daylight Thursday the
last installment of the animals was
started up the gangplanks. 1t was easy
enough to get the 300 draught horses
on board, but leading the elephants up
was soon found to be out of the question.
All of them were nervous and several of
the largest positively fractions. These
huge fellows were forced backward into
cages that fitted them sEugly. Then
the animals were lifted aboard lighter
by one of the monster Chapman floating
derricks and transferred to the ship.
After the cages were put on board a roof
was erected over them.
Only one incident-and that not Sc
rious, from circus point of view
marred the occasion. Miss Josie Ashton,
the rider, shipped on Wednesday her two
ring horses from Orange in the care of a
groom. He put them over night in a
stable in Washington street. He thinks,
he says, that it was O'Neill's. When he
went after Them yesterday they were
not there, and it was said at the stables
that they never had been brought there.
That night detectives from the central
office were hunting for them. York

TO MY GRANDDAUGHTER.


So you are twelve years old to-day,
And, bless mel quite woman grown!
Or rather, perhaps should say,
A sweet and lovely rose, half blown.
It seems very little while
Since baby with face so glad,
Was asking grandma, with smile,
What sort OF fruit or cake she had.
And there was always In reserve
Some dainty for this precious pearl.
Some toothsome morsel or conserve.
TO please her winsome baby girl.
This little girl, now twelve years old,
And, bless me! quite a woman grown
With what delight mine eyes behold
This sweet and lovely rose, half blown
What can I ask for her this day,
AS on life's threshold still she stands,
But that through all its checkered way
Her guide shall be the Fathers hand:
That His love and His blessed peace
May in rich fuliness with her dwell,
Each care to soothe, each Joy increase
That In each grace she shall excel.
stay for awhile thy flight. o Time.
And cease to turn thy eanded glass; (
And lengthen out this precious chime
OF happy youth, too soon to pass.
For cares must come and tears must fall.
The battle must be fought and won:
sTis SO appointed unto ALL
And from this are exempted none.
Light let Thy hand rest on her. Lordl
A hand OF guidance and Of love;
Let Thy rich grace be on her poured.
That all Thy goodness she may prove
BE Thou to her sun and shield.
40 guide and keep. and safely lead.
That precious fruit her life may yield.
In blessing others who may need.
Shine bright, o sun. her path along,
Ye tall old trees, wave all your plumes.
Let each bird sing its sweetest song,
And flowers pour forth their rich per-
fumes;
Let JOY and gladness reign supreme
And be all shadows brushed away
While I Indulge the pleasant dream
Our darling's twelve years old to-day!

New York was especially interested
In this matter, because many Of the
feathers used by the local milliners are
procured through New York. 1t was
stated at the time OF the passage OF the
act that the measure was an honest and
earnest attempt TO stop the killing OF
birds for ornamental purposes and TO
discourage the wearing Of feathers in
women's bonnets. As Mr.. Knowlton's
