That in addressing Mrs. Pinkham you
are conflding your private ills to Il
Woman-a woman whose experience in
treating Woman's diseases is greater
than that of any living physician-male
or female.
You can talk freely to a woman when
it is revolving to relate your private
troubles to a man; besides, a man does
not understand-simply because he is u
man.
Many women suffer in silence and
drift along from bad to worse, knowing
full well that they ought to have imme-
date assistance, but natural modesty
impels them to shrink from exposing
themselves to the questions and proba-
bly, examinations of even their family
physician. It is unnecessary. Without
money or price you can consult a WOm-
an whose knowledge from actual eXpe-
rience is greater than any local physi-
clan in the world. The following invi-
tation is freely offered; accept it in the
same spirit:
Mrs. Pinkhan's Standing Invitation.
Women suffering from any form of
female weakness are invited to prompt
~ communicate with MIS-. IlnKndn III
Lynn, Mass. All letters are received,
opened, read and answered by women
only. A woman can freely talk of her
private illness to 4 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 experience
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 ex-
cept your good will, and her advice has
relieved thousands. Surely, any WON
an, rich or poor, is very foolish if she
does not take advantage Of this gener-
Gus offer of assistance.-Lydia e. Pink

SIGNS OF ANCIENT ORIGIN.
n Custom Which Has Survived for Two
THOUSAND Years.


There must be considerable vitality
in custom which has survived for
1000 years. As far back as the
beginning of the Christian era, sym
bolic signs We're adopted in Rome and
other Italian cities to distinguish the
various crafts and trades; for, when the
art of reading was by no means general,
an emblem above n booth was Il much
better advertisement than a name.
Thus, discoveries at Pompeii have re-
vealed bas-reliefs of a mule in a sec
ton of n mill, on the wall Of bake
house, and of a goat on the front of Il
dairy; while IA shoemaker of that olden
time made an artistic hid for custom by
a floating Cupid, who with one hand
gaily balanced a half-Doot on his curly
pate, and with the other waved its
fellow in the air. Two slaves support
ing an amphora on pole across their
shoulders delightfully."- indicated the mart
of a wine merchant.
The picturesque square swinging sign
board was the outgrowrh of the symbol
developed by civilization; and this flour
lshed in its greatest glory during the
Middle ages of merry England, when
hall and hOstelry alike were made inter
esting and beautiful by carving, forging
and thinning, and crests and armOrial
bearings were the natural fruit OF the
days of feudalism.
At first these, for the most part, bore
heraldic and emblematic devices of ami
mails, birds, fish and flowers, or figures
of religious character, as saints and
martyrs, and sometimes, among mer-
chants, the tools of the artisan.-Lippin-

Some Good in Sharks.

Even sharks have their uses. The ne
groes of the Guinea coast eat the flesh
and consider it very good. In the Med
iterranean young sharks are considered
good eating. Fifty thousand dollars
worth of shark fins are imported yearly
from Calcutta to China, where they are
in great demand for soup. The shark is
q god named london in some parts OF
the African coast. Jon-Jons mouth is
the only sure way to heaven, and three
or four times a year human victims are
sacrificed to it. In some of the islands
OF the Pacific the teeth are greatly re-
garded as weapons, being bored at the
bases and dashed upon swords, daggers
and spears. The real value Of the shark,
however, is its work as a scavenger; it.
with the vast droves of dog-fsh, form
ing the purifiers of the sea.

A Yelling Picnic at Sing Sing.

New Years was a holiday at Sing
Sing, and the men were not marched to
breakfast until s o'clock. They had
sausage, mashed potatoes, tea, with milk
and sugar, and bread. Then they were
marched in companies about the yard,
and allowed to sit about until II o'clock,
and at II o'clock they marched once
more to the mess hail. where dinner,
consisting of gingerbread, apples, cheese
ard tea, was served to them. From to

to understand how it is appreciated.
When I gave the prisoners this privi-
lege for the first time two years ago,
men yelled and shouted who had not
spoken III a loud tone for years, and
the exercise seemed to do them good
and make them feel better" Friday
everybody took advantage Of the chance
everybody shouted and for an hour the
granite walls echoed with the noise
Then some convict with a good voice
started a song, and one by one his fell
lows joined in the song until the singing
became one great chorus; and if there
was an occasional sob or a thought of
songs at home and under other circum-
stances, they did not lessen the volume
of sound. But o'clock brought the
stern order for silence and the yelling
picnic OF New Years day was story
of the past.-New York Tribune.

How Snakes Climb Trees.

A snake moves by means of the ribs
and the scales on the abdomen, to which
each rib is attached by Il set of short
muscles. These scales take hold of the
surface over which the serpent may be
passing, and in that manner aid the
creature to glide, often very rapidly,
around the trunks of trees and along
the smaller branches. Some specie climb
trees with wonderful agility, gliding UP
the straight trunks with much ease, as
if they were moving along the level
ground.
