STANDING INVITATION.
Women suffering from any form of fe-
male weakness are invited to promptly
communicate with Mrs. Pinkham at
Lynn, Mass. All letters are received,
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 of ex-
perience which she has to draw from it
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 fool
ish if she does not take advantage Of
this generous offer of assistance.

Each line of the following sonnet con- tains in regular arrangement one of the letters in the name of famous Ameri- can. The letters follow one another in mathematician succession. See if you can pick them out and find the man s name:
 A man who was in peace and war chief Above the pettiness of party strife, brawDy, kindly one of simple life, A brave and noble soul who gained relief For thousands Of his fellow men in grief And slavery, and who when war was rife Called mighty troops that marched by drum
 and ffo
 To free black slaves. His public life was brief, But great in deed and word and gentleness. A statesman born near the 0hio's shore,
 Of humble ancestry, who worked his way By strictly honest means to great success. His name you all doubtless have heard before. But these few lines may show you it today.

LETTERS BY WIRE.

Novc1 Combination of a Typewriter and B
 Telephone.
 Scientists in Europe are talking good deal just now about curious new machine, to which Che name teleseriptor has been given. AS the name indicates, the object of tho machine is to write down words spoken or sent from a dis tanoe. The telephone, as at present con- strueted, enables one person to hear an- other who is talking perhaps leagues away. The telescriptor, it is claimed, will enable any person to send written message to another person over tele- phone.
 The telesoriptor has been invented by a German scientist. His machine is sim ply a combination of the typewriter and the telegraph, and without it the invent or claims that the telephone cannot be regarded as complete. The manipula- tion of the machine is not more difficult than that of the typewriter, and, like the typewriter, the new instrument has keyboard, above which is placed the box containing the machinery.
 The same wire which is used for tel ephonio communication is connected with the telesoriptor, and by means of simple manipulation the current can be directed either into the telescriptor or into the telephone. Thus, when a person wishes to use telephone, after it has been furnished with this new ma chine, all he will have to do will be to turn on the current and then write his message on the typewriter. According as it is written the message will be flashed across the wire and an answer will be sent to him in the same man ner. New York Herald.

Drab In Favor.

Drab is one of the seasons favored eolors. The French call it "winter sky" " but this is too poetic title for its un- compromising dull, metallic tone. It is not like soft nuns gray, swallow gray, silver, dove, fawn or anything as deli cate and dainty. Drab is not a becoming color on it's own merits We associate it with the coats and gowns of the Quakers, when far strioter in seetarian and dress matters than they are now, and with the old Puritan drivers of the defunet stagecoaoh, with their many capped, long, drab coats. But French modiste can easily make & gown of beauty out of even drab cloth. She com pines it with black and Danish or Span ish or British red so artistically and deftly that the dowdy dress of drab be- comes in the hands of this sartorial pres- tidigitator triumphant success. Set it against. for example, one of the brick red gowns of cloth, with black and white vest and brick red velvet toque en suite, and rivalry there is none be- tween the two The one is vulgar and provokingIy aggressive, the other suffi eiently smart and eminently attractive, but quiet withal. Another fancy of the Frenchwoman combines the drab ma terial, with cream cloth accessories braided in gold or striped with the nar- rowest lines of red and gold braid laid side by side Now York Post.

 Who Pays the Taxes?

At the last meeting of the Political Equality club of Lewiston, Pa, the fol lowing statement was made: The tax payers are in the east ward, 127 men and 103 women; in the west ward, 187 men and 89 women; in the south ward, 46 men and 13 women; whole number of men paying tax, BIO; whole number of women paying tax, 205. The number of women paying tax in the borough is almost two-thirds the number of men, yet they are not supposed or expected to know how this money is expended and have no voice as to how it shall be used. Is this taxation by representation?
 This town was once my home. Miss Hay and Miss Yates organized this Lew iston club. I rejoice to see that it four ishes and that it's members can make out so strong a case. Their taxation argu- ment is certainly good one. Laura M. Johns in Boston Woman's Journal,

Two Workmen.

The following story from Wide Awake is not new, but its. truth is vouched for, and its lesson is so clearly taught and so important that it is worth repeating:
 Two men once stood at the same table in a large factory in Philadelphia. Hav- ing an hour for their incoming every day. each undertook to use 1t in accomplish ing a definite purpose; each persevered for about the sanie number of months, and each won success at last.
 One used his daily leisure hour in working out he5invention of machine for saving block of wood into almost any desired shape. When his invention was complete. he sold the patent for fortune.
 The other man, what did he do? Well, he spent an hour each day during most of the year in the very difficult task of teaching a little dog to stand on its hind feet and dance jig. To be sure he succeeded, but what then? At last accounts he was working ten hours day at the same trade and at his old wages, blaming his luck for the hard fate that kept him poor, while his fel- low workman had become rich.

New York The place is tastefully and comfortably furnished with tables, chairs, bookcases and some gymnastic apparatus There are water color pic lures on the walls, handsome rugs on the floors and oozy corners fitted up with divans and cushions. The older boys though all are under 16 years of age are daily adding other comforts and at- fractions ana spare no efforts to keep the smaller lads off the street as far as pos sible.
 Numbers of boys who do not belong to this club have become deeply inter ested in it's methods and have begun the formation of similar clubs elsewhere. Their plan is to create a series of them throughout the tenement district in which the idea originated, these various societies to be associated somewhat after the manner of the chapters of college fraternity.
 Each club must be strictly self sup porting, but as tho members are not overburdened with cash care will be taken to keep the dues down to a very low figure.
 David Willard, the president of the Eldridge street club, says: "EYery boy who works for his living is anxious to elevate himself if opportunity is afford ed him. Many poor boys, reared in crowded tenements amid all the sordid surroundings of the slums, have had their natural inspirations toward better things suppressed by brutal or ignorant parents. To these the club idea appeals strongly, and they enter with eagerness into all plans for rational amusement and recreation. This kind of association will serve to develop their minds, ele- vate their morals and strengthen their characters and will do much to fit them for useful citizenship.
 Certainly this is an experiment. the development and outcome of which phi lanthropists must watch with keen in- terest.

FOR LITTLE FOLKS.
CLUBS FOR BOYS.

How Some of the Youths of New York Who
 Work Intend to Improve Themselves,
 A unique boys club has been started in the slums of New York. Clubs for the benefit of poor boys are not new. Many such have been established by churches and charitable societies, de- signed to counteraet the dangerous in- fluences of the street by offering resorts at once attractive and refining, and such efforts are worthy of all commendation. But the new boys club Is different. It is not dependent on charity, public or private. for it's maintenance. It is run by the boys themselves.
 This club is composed of q number of ambitious working boys who desire pleasant and eleyating surroundings for their leisure hours They have made their moral requirements just as high as those which obtain at the St. Nicholas and the Knickerboeker, and their mem- bership list is already full.
 Their rooms are located in the base ment of 200 Eldridge street, ill one of the most crowded quarters of the city of

women and Religious work.

The Protestant deaeoness institutions in Germany have paved the way for an independent position and suitable work for unmarried women. The black dress with the white cape gives her safe en- try into all houses, and we cannot but regret that the number of ladies is not larger who seek this useful occupation. But it has also given general impulse to the work of women in all the branches of home missions.
 This brings us to another point-the position of women in religious work. Women pastors and preachers are recog- nized in America as an order already existing. In Germany we are only in the beginning, but this beginning IS made The speaking of women in public was formerly rendered quite impossible. At first 1t was allowed in smaller circles of women. Now lady, Mrs. Guauek, who is one of the German representa- tives of the rights of women, was re- quested to give an address at the evan gelical social congress at Erfurt last year, and she met with universal ap- plause Wo begin to hear now that women may make public addresses without losing that true delieacy which we should not care to miss. In our prayer meetings women begin to take an active part We even find that these meetings only become more lively and interesting when women join in the exercises. Count Bernstorh in Exam iuer

A teacher was giving lessons in word illustrations and was examining the word atom. She told the children that atom meant q small particle of any thing. It might even be so small that it could not bo seen by the naked eye. After she had defined the word so plain ly that she thought the pupils all knew it's meaning she said, Now. some one speak seneence in which the word atom will be used oorrectly.'

I have not yet attained it. I have less time to live than I have already lived, but what matters that? Every step brings me closer to my ideal. The hours that have swept by, taking with them my youth, have left me my eour- age and my cheerfulness, for my aim remains the same and toward it I am tending."

Government Takes Up the Matter of IrrE-
 gation In the West.
 Captain Hiram NJ. Chittenden of the corps of engineers of the United States army arrived in Denver the other day and called at the office of State Engineer Summer to look over the typographical maps of Colorado, with view to select ing the most desirable site for great water storage reservoir.
 Captain Chittenden's mission is one of extraordinary importance to the agri- cultural interests of Colorado and marks the commencement of federal interest in the western irrigation projects. The idea is to establish government storage res ervoir or lake in the mountains on the eastern side of the divide. which will save huge volumes of water which now run to waste in the spring. The project will, when completed, open up vast areas of now arid region to cultivation.
 A start was made last spring, when congress passed the bill authorizing the construction of great federal reservoirs, one in Wyoming and one in Colorado The bill carried with it an appropria- tion of S200,o 900 to defray the expenses of the surveys and other preliminary work. ''I have about decided that the proper place to locate the reservoir will be at the headwaters of the Platte, " said Captain Chittenden. "The Platte is the great distributor of water in Col orado and northwestern Nebraska. l will start out in few days and look over the South park region, but active work cannot be commenced until the heavy snows disappear. .

The first car run on the new electric line recently opened in Santa Barbara, Cal, was operated by woman, Miss Hattie K. Muller. She was so success ful that she tried it again and again and finally said to the president of the road that if people did not stare so she would rather be a motorman than any thing else in the world. The president replied that the place was open to her whenever she wanted to adopt that pro. fession.

To gay that this city will soon reach the stage of arrested commercial dsvelopmeht- if it's business people do not speedily organize for counsel, protection, dnd aggression, is to State an obvioGs fact It is also srus that but. few of our leading business men thoroughly realize the necessity of such organizations indeed, many of them seem abso- lutcly doubtful of its necessity; some of. its utihty or effectiveness, and others appear absolutely indif- fsrent. It is to be regretted that successfel then of affairs among us are content to leave the commerce, the industrial development, and the important matters bearing on these subjects, to the incompetent guar dianship of individual enterprise and acumen.

A Costly Luxury.

The latest extravaganza of the Amer ioan woman is to trim the skirt of her ball gown with natural flowers. This means not only that my lady's husband must expend $40 or $50 in flowers for one evening, but that the gown will be ruined after being worn three or four times by the damp leaves and petals of its expensive decorations.
